"The accountant Mr. Lu's family is quite capable. How much rent is collected every year, how many landlords in Xichuan will sell the remaining grain to the Lu family, and how much grain sold in the Lu family's economic grain shops and warehouses over the years, and how much grain is still sold in the warehouse. Every transaction is clearly recorded in the account book. Several places are combined, and there is a total of more than 40,000 stones of grain, but it is not recorded in the account book. Chen Songze is still quite familiar with the situation of the Lu family, and separates Lu Ji and his men and others to interrogate, and quickly pried open the hole, and then returned to the Lu family's mansion to search for several books that Lu Ji secretly buried..."

"...These secret books record every official grain sold by the Lu family for Yu Lian and others during the Jianji period and the amount of money transferred to Yu Lian, Zhou Li and the officials of the Money and Grain Academy. A total of more than 42,100 stones of official grain for relief were stolen and sold, and the Lu family made more than 4100 cents of profits. Yu Lian, Zhou Li and others made this case alone, and in the six years, they had bribed more than 216,000 cents of ink..."

"...Fan General Fan pulled Zhou Yunze to Xichuan County, and all the evidences were there. Then Lu Fang and other clerks of the Money and Grain Courtyard also arrested and interrogated them. On the same day, he obtained the confession of Lu Fang and others, and seized the silver and money. The total wealth of more than 40,000 yuan was more than 40,000 yuan. Zhou Yunze had no reason to shirk Yu Lian, Zhou Li and the two of them. Finally, he agreed to detain the magistrate Yu Lian and the county magistrate Zhou Li, and asked the court to submit..."

"…Fan Senjun has escorted a criminal back to Biyang, and Chen Songze is still in Xichuan for the time being..."

After the case of stealing and selling official grain in Xichuan came to an end, Jiang Ping personally rushed to Ruyang and reported in detail to Xu Huai about the process of handling the case.

Yu Lian and Zhou Li have been temporarily detained by the Nanyang Prefecture Office and are waiting for the imperial court to come to an end.

Before the new county magistrate and county magistrate took office, Liu Wugong, as the county magistrate, temporarily took over the seal of the county government. In the future, with the assistance of Chen Songze, he would purify the administration of Xichuan County and accelerate the construction of the Xichuan defense line.

Although all this was expected, it was shocking that Xichuan County, which was in a corner, could have such an astonishing number of major cases of theft and sale of official grain.

The Chushan Army only obtained three million guan of military funds from the court in the past year. The amount of stolen and sold official grain in Xichuan County was as high as nearly 300,000 guan. How could it not be shocking?

When Dayue was in its prime, brown rice was only seven or eight hundred coins per stone, and more than 40,000 stone official grain was worth 30,000 to 40,000 jin of money. It didn't seem too shocking, but Nanhu invaded the south, and millions of refugees went south through Nanyang, and the grain prices soared ten times or ten times. The money they stolen and sold was too terrifying.

More importantly, when hungry people pour in, local governments should crack down on hoarding and curb the soaring grain prices. Yu Lian and Zhou Li may have done the opposite for their dirty interests.

"It's all worms, the mountains and rivers are broken, and I don't know how to restrain myself, but I'm even more serious. I'm really not to be jealous!" Xu Huai sat on the saddle, heard Jiang Ping telling the details of the case of stealing and selling official grain in Xichuan, and looked at the ruined city walls and mountains in Ruyang, and cursed.

Influenced by the fragments of memory, Xu Huai knew the complexity of human nature and did not demand that all generals and officials be able to treat the country and the country from beginning to end. The people remain sincere and unchanged until death. He also knew that if they want to accomplish things, they must tolerate the existence of some ordinary people and do everything possible to make the widest group play their due role.

However, when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, Xichuan was not far away from the bloody front. Yu Lian and Zhou Li, as a county's parents, actually secretly took the food for the lives of hungry people to fill their personal desires. Xu Huai still wanted to immediately order these bastards to land to serve as a warning to others.

Seeing that Xu Huai was furious about Yu Lian and others' greed, Han Gui asked Jiang Ping:

"How is the progress of the hostilities of Sichuan and Shaanxi against Lantian?"

Jiang Ping said:

"According to the scout's report, the enemy general Zhou Yan led thousands of elite troops into Qingyangyu four days ago, destroying only 300 defenders on Qingyangyu Road, cutting off the connection between Lantian and Ziwuyu. Later, 40,000 enemy troops gathered from Xianyang, Tongguan and other places to advance into Lantian. There were shield chariots and more than a thousand stone crossbows accompanied him, and he could launch a strong attack on Lantian at any time."

"Cao Shixiong also transferred an elite army to the Luo River and headed towards Lushi County east of Shangzhou, forming a situation where he attacked Shangzhou with the enemy troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but he did not move towards Ruzhou. It was obvious that he also wanted to lure us to defend Shangzhou," Han Gui said with a frown, "I am worried now that Gu Envoy Gu will not speak at this time, but after Lantian fell, he would invite us to defend Shangzhou. At that time, if we do not respond, the court and the public may have many negative remarks that are not conducive to the Department of Control..."

After the Chihu cavalry advanced south again, in addition to the four general administrations of Xusu, Jingxi, Heluo and Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Longxi general administration was established west of Liupanshan, mainly with the Dangxiang Surrender Army.

At present, the enemy troops of Longxi, Xu Su, Sichuan and Shaanxi have carried out large-scale mobilizations, forcing towards Tianshui, Lantian and Huaixi, and a new round of war is about to begin.

However, in addition to facing the Yuehailou army in the west of the Beijing Army, this winter, only a general mobilization was carried out, and less than 40,000 troops were gathered in Xuzhou City (Xuchang) upstream of the Yingshui River, preparing to go to Xiangcheng. Linying's old former arrival, Cao Shixiong's troops of Heluo's enemy army had not yet left Yique Pass this winter, and crossed Wan'an Mountain to attack Ruzhou.

On the contrary, Cao Shixiong also concentrated some of his elite troops along the Luoshui coast on the west wing, preparing to go up the Luoshui River and attack the troops on the Dongchuan Road to defend the Lu family and other cities located above the Luoshui River.

The strategy of the Chihu people is not difficult to guess, it is to lure Jingxiang Road to guard Shangzhou.

Once Lantian is lost, the weak connection between Shangzhou and Dongchuan Road will be cut off. Gu Jiqian's willingness to defend Shangzhou will not be very strong, let alone facing the attacks between the enemies between Chuanxia and Heluo.

Under this situation, even though Xu Huai had long seen through the enemy's intentions, he insisted on not taking over Shangzhou's defense and letting him fall into the enemy's hands, and was destined to be strongly criticized and criticized by the government and the public.

"This winter, we must shrink our heads and be turtles. No matter how much criticism or criticism, we have to keep our hands honestly now,"

Xu Huai looked at the clear sky with a cold face, with only a few white clouds floating in the distance, and said to Wang Xian and other generals.

"I'm not worried about Xiangcheng, Zhaoling, Chushan, Xinyang. After years of hard work, Yuehailou really dares to chew on it. We are also confident that we will break his old teeth. However, when Cao Shixiong sees that we are not fooled in Shangzhou, he will definitely turn around and chew on Guangcheng. Moreover, they will turn around quickly. Can Guangcheng withstand the attack of the enemy in Heluo this winter? You have to endure some tests this winter..."

After the death of the old king, the main force of the Chihu cavalry retreated to Yanshan and Yinshan.

In order to prevent a counterattack, Yue Hailou voluntarily gave up Ruyang and Songxian last year, and shrank all his troops to Yique and Wan'an Mountain (the western lineage of Songshan).

Wang Xian, who was in charge of Ruzhou at that time, took the opportunity to recover Ruyang and Songxian, and built Guangcheng Village near Yishui on the west side of the former Guangchengguan site to strengthen the defense of Ruzhou's west wing.

However, the past year has been the most scarce period of Chushan resources.

In order to resettle as many as possible and recruit as many refugees as possible, Xu Huai invested a total of about four or five million stags of money and food in the four counties in Jingbei and Nancai County.

However, Chushan is so big, and the south is invested in, so the defense on the northern line can only be reduced as much as possible and reduce the distribution. Therefore, in the past year, the most critical Guangcheng Village was built, and it has not yet been possible to build a series of military camps to form a complete line of defense.

Although Ruyang and Songxian County were tragically damaged, the people were either massacred or fled into the mountains, and the remaining part was forcibly kidnapped by the enemy troops in Heluo. The open space left was enough to accommodate more than 200,000 refugees, which to a certain extent alleviated the land conflicts on Jingxiang??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, so many refugees were moved here one after another after autumn this year, how could such heavy resettlement and defense line construction be accomplished overnight?

Therefore, no matter how much pressure you are under, you have to defend your defense line this winter and rely on the terrain and defense to resist the enemy's attack; only when the refugees in Jingxiang are generally resettled, the 200,000 to 300,000 young and strong refugees are the power that the Command Department can truly mobilize and mobilize.

Xiuyun Mountain is located east of Qingyangyu. As you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see Lantian City built against the Qinling Mountains in the distance. From Lantian County to the south to the depths of the Qinling Mountains, strict military hamlet forts appear in the sparse jungle.

However, north of Lantian City, the denser camps are like a half-moon black lake, and the waves are almost striking the walls of Lantian City.

Wulu Lie, the prince's mansion of Zhennanzong, climbed Xiuyun Mountain and looked out at the scenery on both sides. A general asked:

"After we chew off Lantian, will the Chushan soldiers and horses take over Shangzhou?"

"If the information we collected is correct, Xu Huai and the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty did have a great gap and were suspicious of each other, then Chu Shan would not send troops to station in Shangzhou..."

"Since that's the case, why do we have to spend so much effort to lure Chushan to defend Shangzhou? Why not let Marshal Yue and Marshal Cao gather all their troops to attack Ru and Caizhou, and defeat the defense line of the Southern Dynasty with Mount Tai to suppress the top?"
