Chapter 234
"General, general, good news, good news!"

In a cave in the deep mountains of Yimeng, Tanma hurriedly rushed into the cave, walked quickly to Zhenghe, and reported: "General, my subordinates have heard that there is a batch of grain in southern Hebei to be transported to the old city, and we will set off in three days!"

"Reliable news?"

When Zhenghe heard this, he was both surprised and happy. The snow on the mountain had not yet melted. Except for a few prey, they stayed on the mountain for the past few days and were so hungry that they could only gnaw on the bark.

Now hearing that there is a batch of grain to be transported to the old city, this is not to create opportunities for them to deliver grain.

Such a rare opportunity must be seized.

"The news has been confirmed!" Tan Ma's breathing was rapid, which showed how hurried he was walking.

Zhenghe turned his head and asked several subordinates present, "What do you think about this matter? Do you have a different opinion?"

The deputy general glanced at a few people and said: "What we lack most now is food. We were thinking about how to get food from Jizhou, but I didn't expect that they would automatically deliver it to our door. This opportunity is rare, so we have to fight for it anyway." !"

This sounds like a gambler's mentality. Chi Zhongjun first raised objections.

He opened his mouth and said: "What a weird idea to think about this!"

Zheng He thumped in his heart, "How do you say that?"

Chi Zhongjun expressed his doubts: "General Li also said just now that we were in urgent need of food, and the Jizhou government immediately organized a food delivery, as if it was sending us food. Don't you think this is a sinister thing? ?Besides, even if grain is to be transported, it should be transported after the autumn harvest, who would transport grain when the roads are frozen?"

The lieutenant general was also muttering in his heart, but he still argued: "Perhaps the old city suffered a snow disaster this year, and food was transported from southern Hebei to provide disaster relief. Don't forget, the snow did not melt because we were on the mountain, and down the mountain The temperature is higher than in the mountains, and the snow under the mountains has begun to melt."

Chi Zhongjun expressed his doubts sharply: "Even if the snow has begun to melt as you said, wouldn't it be more difficult to walk if the road is muddy?"

"Under such a bad situation, the government still transported grain to the old city. Doesn't it mean that there is a problem!"

The deputy general snorted coldly, "This is all your guess. What problem can it explain?"

Zhenghe frowned slightly, glanced at the deputy general, and turned to ask Chi Zhongjun: "Do you suspect that this is a bait released by the Jizhou government? Its purpose is to lure us out of the mountain?"

Chi Zhongjun nodded solemnly: "That's exactly what I suspected!"

"When we broke into Jizhou, the governor's office of Jizhou must be the most anxious. In order to prevent us from causing trouble in Jizhou, they will definitely take some measures and find some way to stop us."

As for what method?
Of course, what they lack most they will provide to lure the enemy to show up.

If they went down the mountain because of this batch of grain, he believed that Jizhou soldiers and horses would have been there waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap on the way to transport the grain.

By this time, Zhenghe probably believed his words, but
"Now it's not a long-term solution for us to stay on the mountain and not go down the mountain. If we stay on the mountain for a period of time in such wet and cold weather, the brothers will be useless!"

There is no need for Jizhou soldiers and horses to destroy them, they will fend for themselves.

After hearing this, the cave fell into silence for a while, except for the occasional crackling sound from the fire.

Chi Zhongjun threw the dried firewood at his feet into the fire, and against the light of the fire, there was madness in his eyes.

After a while, he raised his head and said: "The government of Jizhou designed this strategy, and it must be sure that we will be fooled. In this case, we might as well follow the strategy and do the opposite, and catch them by surprise. What do you think?"

When Zhenghe heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he urged: "What good strategy does the Zhongjun have, tell it quickly and listen to it!"

Chi Zhongjun used tree branches to draw their approximate location on the ground, and then drew the location of the old city.

"If this food shipment is not a conspiracy by the governor of Jizhou, I will cut off my head and play it for you!"

"You see, to transport this batch of grain from southern Hebei to the old city, in this season when the snow is first melting, it is definitely not feasible to take the road in the Yimeng mountain area. So, if they want to transport grain to the old city, they have to bypass the Yimeng mountain area Pass this way."

"And if we want to hijack this batch of food, we have to come out of the deep mountains and go down the mountain to snatch it. And the road closest to Yimeng Mountain is at the intersection of Yimeng Mountain and Meng Mountain. There are mountains on both sides of this road. It's the best place to ambush."

As he said that, Chi Zhongjun threw away the branch and sighed: "If we go down the mountain to hijack this batch of grain, obviously this location is the best hijacking point and the enemy's best ambush point. If we are ambushed here, we will have no way out." You can escape!"

There are steep mountains on both sides. As long as the enemy blocks the two intersections and distributes a little force to occupy the high ground on both sides, they will really be shut down by Jizhou soldiers and horses, and they will die!
Zhenghe's face darkened, and at the same time, he was also afraid that he almost stepped on a pit.

"According to what you said, how should we fight back?"

According to Chi Zhongjun's analysis, the Jizhou government's grain shipment passed through the outskirts of the Yimeng Mountain area this time, obviously to lure them out of the mountain.

Chi Zhongjun pointed to the north and said: "Since they are sure that we will be fooled, why don't we go through the mountains and cross to the other side of Mt. It is a large grain-producing county, and the official warehouses in the county have the grain we need."

Zhenghe slapped his palm on the stone next to him and said excitedly: "Okay, since they are plotting against us, it is not rude to come back and forth, so we can give them a little reward by taking the official warehouse! Let them know that we have to pay for the plot. The price!"

Unexpectedly, none of them thought about the possibility of failure. They thought it was too easy for them to surprise a county without any difficulty.

"However, since we have decided to act, we still have to pay attention to the government's movements."

After hearing this, Tanma stood up from another fire, walked over quickly and said, "In this case, let's go find out the government's movements first."

"Okay!" Zhenghe responded as soon as he heard it, "That's it, go back quickly, if you encounter danger, remember to escape first!"

After receiving the order, Tan Ma strode out of the cave.
-
Three days later, a convoy set off from a small county in southern Hebei.

They had not gone far beyond the city gate when the road conditions became bad and muddy. In some places, the wheels would sink deeply into them, and the guards had to push and lift them to get out of the mud pit.

I couldn't walk more than miles in one day, and there were many complaints in the convoy.

At this speed, it would take more than days to transport these grains to the old city. How can people bear this kind of freezing weather for them to stay in the wild for more than days?

Even if it is not transported to the old city, it will take about ten days to reach the outskirts of Yimeng Mountain. The transport team moves slowly, and the guards in the team pray that the weather will not rain or snow, otherwise the road will be more slippery. I was also afraid of getting caught in the rain and getting my clothes wet.

Two days after the decoy food delivery team left, Xiao Qi, who was stationed in the southern county of Jizhou, received the news that Xia Jing and Li Chengmu led the team to come across the river!
He looked at his confidants with a serious expression, "After all, the rebels have attracted the court soldiers and horses. How should we deal with them next?"

Xiao Baoyin said: "The queen and the prince are here, and we can't stop them. What else can we do? We can only treat him well and make him feel at home."

One of the generals under the governor's command yelled at the ground: "The queen and the prince said that they are here to help wipe out the rebels, but I think it's definitely a trick to sell dog meat. Maybe there are some bad ideas in their hearts!"

Xiao Baoyin nodded in agreement: "He's right. The imperial court was uneasy and well-intentioned. Not long after the rebels arrived, they chased them to the door. I wonder if the imperial court deliberately let the rebels into Jizhou!"

The ignorant Mr. Xiao guessed Xia Jing's plan at once.

Xiao Qi sighed: "Jizhou is actively preparing for military force, just to protect the people of Jizhou from the harm of war. I never thought that the imperial court would chase the rebels into Jizhou for its own selfish interests to harm the people of Jizhou. Think about it. Chilling!"

Xiao Qi's words made it easy for interested people to make a fuss.But he didn't think about it, if it wasn't for his strong army, he would never take the initiative to attack the rebels, even if the rebels were jumping around right under his nose, he would not send troops.

He is so self-respecting that he is ashamed to criticize others.

Xiao Baoyin scratched his head and asked, "Father, what do you think the court wants?"

Xiao Yuncheng glanced at the eldest brother, and said with a sneer, "You should ask the empress and the prince what they want?"

It sounds like people can't laugh or cry, Jizhou is a state capital of the imperial court, and the queen and prince can come whenever they want, but it makes the governor of a state feel like an enemy.

If Xia Jing was here, she might wonder if it was an intruder.

Xiao Baoyin frowned slightly: "Isn't the Queen and Prince representing the imperial court?"

Xiao Yuncheng sighed in his heart, seeing that she was able to lead troops to fight outside as a queen, one knew that this queen was not one of those queens who followed the rules and respected the world in history!

The same is true for the prince. The son of a rich man does not sit down in court, but the prince of a country dares to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, which shows that his mind and ability are extraordinary.

No matter how the governor's office in Jizhou faced the enemy, Xia Jing's first stop in Jizhou was to go to the county town that was ransacked by the rebels and killed soldiers.

Nowadays, the people in the county have not yet recovered from their panic. The officials who are temporarily managing the county were appointed by the Jizhou Governor's Office, and the handover work has not been completed yet.

He went to greet him at the gate of the city, and Xia Jing realized that he looked familiar when she saw him stepping up to greet him.

Xia Jing has psychic powers, so she was a little stunned at first, but she remembered who he was as quickly as possible?
Xiao Qi's interim magistrate is Fan Guangjian, the former magistrate of Runan County.

Back then when they escaped from the capital and met him in Yuzhou, he took advantage of her not paying attention and sent the beauty to Prince Qian's bed.

It can be seen that this man has great ambitions and wants to use women to close the relationship with Prince Qian's palace.

Speaking of the beauty who was abandoned by that scumbag Li Jingfu, I don't know if she was enjoyed by the county magistrate later?
Xia Jing sat on the horseback, condescendingly, staring at the top of Fan Guangjian's head, "It's really rare for you to trouble me to welcome us in your busy schedule, everyone get up!"

Fan Guangjian knew that what he had done had completely offended the queen and the prince.

It's just that, in the officialdom, many things are out of control.

"Your Majesty, this minister's name is Fan Guangjian, not Fan Jian."

Xia Jing rode forward and looked him over with a smile, "Oh, I remember, you are called a criminal!"

Fan Guangjian's face turned red, it was only a name that needed to be pronounced so solemnly!

Xia Jing gently held the horse's belly and circled around him, and finally used the riding crop to lift his chin, looked around, and clicked her tongue: "If I remember correctly, you were the magistrate of Runan County last year. When did you get the order to come here?"

Hearing this, Fan Guangjian's heart trembled, and he pretended to be calm and said on the face: "The minister is now temporarily transferred to take the post of county magistrate. The official appointment of the county magistrate still requires an official document from the court."

Li Chengmu rode up to Xia Jing's side, listened to what he said, and asked, "That is to say, did you come here without an imperial order? Didn't the imperial court stipulate that local officials are not allowed to go to various places to join forces?"

Fan Guangjian: ".Yes."

He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off.

Xia Jing raised her hand and swung down the whip, knocked Fan Guangjian to the ground, and shouted behind her: "Hurry up and tie up this serial official!"

"Yes! Master!"

Ye Fei gestured to the guards behind him, and someone immediately stepped forward to take off Fan Guangjian's official hat, and they also arrested him.

"Empress, Your Highness, please spare my life!"

He didn't expect the empress and the prince to attack him as soon as they came up. He thought that when he was in Runan, he had never met the two of them, so he thought they didn't know his identity.

What a misstep!

Had he known this, he would not have shown up today.

Xia Jing looked at the county magistrate who was lying limp on the ground and sneered: "The county magistrate of Yuzhou actually crossed the state capital to come to Jizhou Prefecture to serve as the county magistrate, and there was no transfer order from the court."

Talking as if she was thinking, she asked, "How did you do it? Or did you come to Jizhou from Yuzhou through Xiao Qi's consent?"

At the beginning, she had always suspected who was the master behind the magistrate of Runan County. Today, she might have the answer. As for whether the answer is correct or not, she will have her own judgment in the future.

Fan Guangjian was lying on the ground, regardless of the fact that the ground was covered with melted snow, lying on the muddy ground, "Mother, I was forced to do so, there is really no way! Please spare this time, my family!" There are old and young, and they can’t do without me!"

Seeing that he was afraid but not serious, Xia Jing asked curiously, "You don't think the master behind you will come to take you back, do you?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Fan Guangjian's eyes, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, I heard Xia Jing say: "If I were your master, it would be good if I kept my mouth shut. How could I spend money and effort to get you out at the risk of exposure? You are daydreaming and you haven't woken up yet?"

Of course, this Fan Jian is Fan Guangjian, and the interrogation still needs to be clear, but whether it can be put on the bright side is another matter.

When the interrogation came out, Xia Jing read it casually, then went to the study, and wrote a letter to Xiao Qi who was not far away.
