Tuoba Jian was really embarrassed about this matter. When the army was out on an expedition, it was inevitable that such messy things would happen. This was not the first time this kind of thing happened, how could it be managed?

At this moment, General He Duoluo of the Zongzi Army stood up and asked, "General Zhao, since the female soldier is the family member of the soldiers in your camp, she must be a Han woman, right? It is not new for a Han woman to be raped by my Xianbei general. It has always been the default until now, if you want to kill me Xianbei man suddenly because of this matter, I am afraid that if you fail, the soldiers will not agree!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately retorted: "This is not a matter of Xianbei people or Han people. She is both a lieutenant and a family member of a lieutenant. No matter what ethnicity she is, she will naturally become the object of military law protection! Soldiers are in front Fighting bloody battles, sacrificing life and death, being loyal to His Majesty and Great Wei, yet some people raped their wives and daughters in the rear, but the court and the leading generals could not protect them or uphold justice for them. What is the morale of the army? Loyalty to the emperor, to the imperial court? How would you feel if it was you, He Duoluo? If someone with bad intentions stirs up a little bit, it will lead to a catastrophe!"

He Duoluo was speechless for a moment.

Guoshi Kou Qianzhi shook his whisk and stood up, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something if I have something to say!"

"Oh? If you have something to say, the national teacher just say it!" Tuoba Jian raised his hand.

Kou Qianzhi immediately said: "Your Majesty is the first to ascend the Great Treasure, and you should be lenient and comfort the soldiers and give them generous rewards to reassure the soldiers and make them respect Your Majesty; but at the same time, you must also strictly enforce military discipline so that they will respect Your Majesty! Blindly indulging will easily make them dissatisfied, if some people with ulterior motives promise more generous terms, they will be easily bribed, which will be detrimental to His Majesty's rule!"

Tuoba Jian considered the balance, and said to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan: "Zhao Qing, Hua Qing, I agree

You look for the three soldiers who committed the crime of adultery in each camp. If you are a member of the supply camp, how can you deal with it yourself? If it is a soldier from another army, report it to me after you find it, and I will make a judgment! "

"The minister obeys the order!"

After the dynasty was over, Zhao Junsheng asked Pei Jin to make multiple copies of the portrait, and sent soldiers to search for the portraits in various military camps. They each had other things to do and couldn't spend all their time on it.

Hua Mulan has been transferred back to the garrison army in Huaishuo Town, and there are many military affairs to be dealt with. Zhao Junsheng is responsible for the food, drink, and salvage of 6 or [-] horses here. All require his signature.

Pei Jin walked into the tooth tent with an account book and said to Zhao Junsheng: "General, this is the quantity of luggage sent to the army in the left wing. Please check and sign the general!"

Zhao Junsheng took the account book and looked at it. He was about to sign his pen when he remembered He Xijing's arrogant appearance yesterday. All the luggage will be deducted, and it will be delayed for a day before being transferred, starving these bastards to death, hum! Let’s take it and make a new account.”

It’s not enough to starve to death, each army has food in stock for at least a day or two, but if the allocation of food and grass is halved, the soldiers in the left wing will have to tighten their belts. As for other luggage, such as wine, lamp oil, etc. If there is a shortage of medicinal materials, it will bring great inconvenience to the lives of soldiers and generals.

Pei Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "General, if this matter gets serious, I'm afraid it won't end well!"

"I'll punish him and ask him to offend me. I want to make him dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, so I can't tell! Do you think this general is so easy to bully because he is a Han? Hmph! I will have my own opinion on this matter, you don't have to Don't worry, just follow the general's orders, and if something goes wrong, the general will take care of it!"

"Yes, my subordinates retire!"

After Pei Jin left, the Eagle Envoy quickly walked in, clasped his fists and said, "General, there is a message from a flying eagle in the Jinling camp!"

"Bring it!"

A small paper scroll was taken by Zhao Junsheng. He waved his hand to let the Eagle Envoy go out and opened the small paper scroll. After reading it, his face changed greatly, "This is a big trouble!"

Stepping out of the dental tent, Zhao Junsheng was thinking in his heart whether to tell Tuobajian about this matter, or to take a breath first.

If Tuobajian is told about this immediately, then the fact that he has another intelligence system will be exposed, which may arouse Tuobajian's suspicion; The corresponding deployment has delayed the time, and I am afraid it will cause more trouble.

He was walking in the camp when he saw the Taoist priest Dongfang Chen approaching, and asked, "Daoist Yuchan has been here for a long time, didn't he go to see his commander, Heavenly Master Kou?"

Dongfang Chen had a bitter expression on his face, "Pindao has accomplished nothing, why would he have the face to meet the master? Besides, among all the brothers and sisters, Pindao is the one who is least welcomed by the master, and meeting him will cause trouble for his old man. I won't go!"

"The Daoist is wrong. Whether he wants to see you is his business, and whether you respect the teacher is your problem!"

Dongfang Chen waved his hand: "The matter of the poor is irrelevant, but the general... Seeing the general's face, he must have encountered a difficult situation and hesitated?"

"... That's right!" Zhao Junsheng said after hesitating, "There is something very important to the court, but if I report it to the emperor, the general will be suspicious of me; but if I don't say it, Waiting for the incident to happen, the court may be caught off guard, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to deal with the aftermath, what does the Taoist priest think this general should do?"

Dongfang Chen stroked his beard, "Pindao believes that if the general wants to make a difference, he must first preserve himself and keep a useful body. Everything is possible, otherwise everything will be lost!"

These words touched Zhao Junsheng a lot. After thinking about it, he still followed Dongfang Chen's suggestion and pretended not to know. It all depends on the situation.

After only two days, He Xijing couldn't hold it any longer, and immediately wanted to sue Tuobajian that Zhao Junsheng had embezzled his supplies and food.

Zhao Junsheng came to the palace to have an audience, "My minister sees your Majesty

Down! "

Tuobajian asked: "Zhao Qing, the King of Changle impeached you to withhold his supplies and food, and still delay for a while, is there such a thing?"

Zhao Junsheng did not quibble, and directly admitted generously: "Return to Your Majesty, there is such a thing!"

There was an uproar in the courtroom. Others had to make excuses for themselves when encountering this kind of impeachment, but he was lucky enough to admit it directly and generously.

Tuoba Jian frowned and said: "Why do you want to withhold his supplies and supplies? You must know that without provisions and supplies, the army will be in trouble!"

"Your Majesty, the humble minister is not trying to embezzle, but to reduce the supply!"

"What's the difference?" He Xijing said angrily.

Zhao Junsheng sneered in his heart, clasped his fists and said to Tuobajian: "Your Majesty, of course there is a difference. The deduction is to put the intercepted ones into his own pockets, and the reduction of the supply is to distribute the food and grass as usual, but to reduce the quantity, the intercepted ones are still there. Warehouse!"

He Xijing asked: "I would like to ask you, why the other armies did not reduce the supply, why did the left side of the king reduce the supply? If you don't make it clear today, we will never finish this matter!"

"Because the left compartment is the last one to distribute food and grass!"

He Xijing roared loudly: "What kind of bullshit reason is this?"

"Your Majesty, before distributing food and grass to the army in the left wing, I received a report from my subordinates that we have not received supplies for five days, including the seventh day today! I heard the report from my subordinates the day before yesterday. At that time, I thought that the transportation team was delayed due to weather or getting lost on the way, so I didn’t report to His Majesty. After another two days, there was still no transportation team. Only then did I realize the seriousness of the problem, and I was about to report to Your Majesty. The summoner is here!"

"What?" Tuoba Jian and the ministers of the imperial court were shocked. They hadn't received the food and supplies for such a long time. There must be something wrong. Generally, the food and grass supply teams would be transported every three days, continuously, so as to maintain Sufficient food and grass are in short supply, even if they are robbed once or twice by the Rouran army, the supply will not be cut off. If too much is transported at one time, and the transportation time is long, as long as it is robbed once, the army will be in danger of running out of food.

Tuoba Jian immediately asked Zhao Junsheng: "Is it possible that our supply route was intercepted by the Rouran people and the grain road was cut off?"

.

Chapter 407 Adding Sand to Their Grain

"Returning to Your Majesty, this possibility cannot be ruled out. The last general has sent two hundred powerful elite cavalry to march eastward along the food road at the fastest speed. If the food road is cut off, the Rouran people will definitely stay. I believe there will be news soon!" Zhao Junsheng said confidently.

Tuoba Jian was still very worried, "This is the best! Zhao Qing, how long can the remaining food and grass last for the army?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said: "If you only count food and grass, you can only sustain the sky at most. If the captured cattle, sheep and horses are counted as food, it is enough to support the army, but if this is the case, the battle of Mobei this time will be considered in vain. , because in the end we didn’t earn anything, and spent countless money and food!”

Tuoba Jian took a deep breath, looked at the ministers and generals and said: "Masters, the army has almost rested, right? Now that the food and grass are not enough, I don't know what caused it. Should we continue to search for Rouran people, or When the class teacher returns to the court, please discuss this with your fellow ministers!"

Taichang Qing Cui Hao first stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Northern Expedition has come to an end, and the soldiers of all armies have almost rested, but quickly return to the court to hold the enthronement ceremony, so as to calm the hearts of the subjects! "

General He Duoluo of the Zongzi Army stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the scouts of the army searched hundreds of miles around, but found no trace of the Rouran people. I also suggest that the class teacher return to the court and stay in Mobei to spend time." forage!"

General Qiu Mulingshou stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition did not hurt the Rouran people. If they just give up and take the lead, the Rouran people will recover their strength soon, and then they will be back again." Become a confidant of my great Wei!"

General Daxi Guangliang of Shuzi Army also supported Qiu Mulingshou's suggestion. It is a pity for the class teacher at this time, "Wei Chen suggested that the army should go over Qionglu Ridge and continue to search for more than a thousand miles to the north, and they will surely find Rouran's hiding place. !"

Tuoba Jian thought for a while, then looked at the national teacher Kou Qianzhi, "National teacher, what do you think?"

Kou Qianzhi pondered for a while and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Pindao believes that the most important thing at present is to consolidate His Majesty's throne, and other things should be put aside, and to consolidate His Majesty's throne, the only way to consolidate His Majesty's throne is to return to the court to officially hold the enthronement ceremony. Issue an edict to declare that the world is allowed!"

"Senior!" Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan stood up together and said.

Baba Daosheng, Tuoba Na and others called out to second the proposal in turn.
