Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 48 Returning Supplies
"Forget it, Sir."

A noble disciple stepped forward and grabbed Guo Zhenming.

"This Li Shunzu now has three thousand Liao troops under his command, and he is the uncle Ning Yuan appointed by His Majesty. It is not worth starting a feud with him at this juncture. It will not be too late to settle this debt when he falls into favor in the future."

The nobles and nobles nearby also knew that Li Shunzu was not someone to be trifled with at this time, and they all stepped forward to advise him.

"Yes, Sir."

"I heard that Li Shunzu will lead a team to fight against Dongnu tomorrow. It is not a disaster for you to step down from the Shenshu Camp at this time, but a blessing."

"His Majesty, Long Yan, will definitely be furious when the Beijing camp comes back from the defeat. When the time comes, the Lord's reinstatement will be just a matter of words."

In fact, Guo Zhenming had already retreated in his heart, and when he heard the words, he gave up and got off the donkey, but his face was unyielding, obviously because he was afraid of losing face in front of others.

"Since all the brothers have persuaded me, I will spare you this time!"

"Li Shunzu! Take care of what should be taken care of, and stay away from what shouldn't be taken care of from now on!"

"You have so much free time to worry about your subordinates' affairs, so you'd better pay attention to yourself first!"

Li Shunzu narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not continue to say anything.

The two groups of people passed each other in this way, and the tense atmosphere in Xiangnuan Pavilion was relieved.

Naturally, the owner of Xiangnuan Pavilion didn't want these two sects to ruin the harmony in his area, so he hurriedly called on the theater guests to continue enjoying themselves. After a while, the surroundings started to mingled with each other again.

The boss rubbed his hands and stepped forward, smiling and saying: "Master Li Xunwei has a lot of energy, otherwise a fight here would be too much for a small temple like me."

"Let's do this! From now on, when Li Xunwei comes here, he will be regarded as a guest of my Xiangnuan Pavilion. Good wine and meat will be recorded in the villain's account. Even in the elegant rooms and high pavilions, a seat will always be reserved for Li Xunwei!"

"My boss knows how to handle things!" When the surrounding guests heard this, they also started to cheer.

If future generations encountered this, Li Shunzu might be so angry that he would tremble all over, with adrenaline soaring. But now, Li Shunzu has been very calm in his heart. After the whole thing, he even breathed evenly.

The feeling Guo Zhenming gave Li Shunzu was far less than the two letters he just saw.

Hearing his boss's flattering words, Li Shunzu had no intention of embarrassment. After all, he had many friends and many paths, so he gave up slightly.

Harmony brings wealth, that's probably the case.

The owner of Xiangnuan Pavilion said a few greetings and turned away to greet other guests.

Li Shunzu, on the other hand, looked thoughtfully at the direction where Guo Zhenming and his group left.

"What's wrong, Lord Governor?"

Xiong Xinghu knew that his brother and sister had caused trouble, so he thanked him many times. Seeing that Li Shunzu was thoughtful, he also stepped forward to ask with a worried look.

Li Shunzu turned around and smiled and said: "It's okay, I was just wondering if Guo Zhenming knew something about the last sentence just now. The army will leave Beijing tomorrow. Fighting is not a child's play and there is no room for carelessness."

"Besides, I have already said that your business will be my business, Li Shunzu's, from now on."

"We still have business to do next, so come with me back to the Rong government."

Xiong Xinghu and several servants all looked solemn and nodded in unison.

"As ordered!"

After this incident, the new servants finally understood what kind of person they were following.

Shangguan who is willing to stand up for his subordinates is rare in this era.

Xiong Xinghu is the former servant of the Li family. Now they are all newly elected servants of the Li family. Xiong Xinghu's present may be their future. It seems that as long as they follow the future Uncle Ning Yuan closely, their future prospects will be limitless. .

Although the servants didn't say anything, their eyes were full of anticipation.

that night.

Imperial City, Jingying Rong Government.

Since it was already night, the truly powerful dignitaries in the capital camp had already fallen asleep with beauties in their arms in their respective mansions. The people on duty here were just some petty officials.

Most of these people are doing hard work and have little background.

Under the weak candlelight, there was silence in the Rong government.

Several clerks on night duty were sleeping at their desks. No one saw that a young man in armor had quietly come to the door.

Behind him were thousands of Liao troops standing in formation in the night.

These Liao troops were all in high spirits, and even though they were operating at night, they never made the slightest sound other than the clinking of armor and leaves.

After Li Shunzu left Xiangnuang Pavilion, he went back to Li's house to take a bath, and then put on the armor that had been polished into brand new by the servants in the palace. Holding a sword in his hand, he quietly led his team to the Rong government not long after nightfall.Xiong Xinghu received the instruction, stepped forward, and gently woke up the night clerk.

"What, what?"

"who are you!"

When the clerk was awakened, he looked confused at first, and then panicked.

He clearly saw that standing in front of the Rong government was a group of soldiers wearing armor!

At first glance, these soldiers are not the showboats in the Beijing camp. They are all brave warriors on the battlefield.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiong Xinghu covered his mouth, pried off his head, looked back, and whispered softly: "Hush. This is the new governor of the capital, Ning Yuanbo Xunwei Lord Li. Now we are here to summon the war horses of Taipu Temple. And food and grass.”

After saying that, Xiong Xinghu let go of his hand.

Hearing that it was one of his own, the clerk was relieved and did not choose to say anything.

"Those war horses and grain and grass were only transported to the capital camp two days ago. They were delivered by Taipu Temple. Li Xunwei is the governor of the capital camp and has the right to use them. But I won't be able to report to Lord Gongshun early tomorrow morning!"

Li Shunzu knew what he meant, had a plan in mind, and waved back.

Several servants came forward with shackles and ropes on their fingers, and in the horrified eyes of the young official, they tied him up in three strokes.

"I, Li Shunzu, bear all the responsibility."

"Wu Weiying will arrive tomorrow. Seeing this, I don't think he will embarrass you."

"When the time comes, you just need to blame everything on me, and you can protect your whole family."

The clerk was gagged, but his eyes showed extreme shock. After the shock, he nodded repeatedly.

Li Shunzu finally drew his sword and turned around to give the order.

"Lead the horses and transport food quietly for me!"

The next day, early in the morning.

Outside Yongding Gate, the Liao army camp.

Mangui was gathering people to raise the tent, and several indignant shouts came from the tent.

"How could His Majesty behave like this?"

"The war horses and provisions for the Liao army were promised to me outside the city that day, and they were sent to the Beijing camp in the blink of an eye. Our army is about to go to Zunhua today. We are short of provisions and horses. Commander, what should we do?"

"Yes, otherwise, let's give some advice!"

"If you can't win this battle, you will die. No matter what, you will die!"

The Liao army won the battle, but the war horses and food and grass promised by the court were suddenly transferred to the Beijing camp a few days ago. Tens of thousands of people were eating horse chews, which was not a small number every day. Everyone waited for several days and still had no results. , all with angry faces.

Mangui also knew that troops and horses should go ahead with food and grass before moving, but he also knew that the water in the imperial court was very deep and Taipu Temple was not provided with supplies. This must be Chongzhen's intention. The Liao army had been squeezed out for more than a day or two.

Even a saint might stumble when he is surrounded by a bunch of villains all day long, let alone the emperor who succeeded to the throne at the age of 17.

Mangui knew that he was of Mongolian origin, so he had very strict requirements on himself. He was always more loyal and courageous to the court than Han generals, and was very resistant and afraid of military generals' exercise of power such as military admonishment.

As soon as he heard the word "Bingjian", his face was filled with horror.

"Bastard!"

"Don't say such things again!"

At this time, a sentry rider ran out of the tent, his face full of joy.

Man Gui immediately asked: "Have the imperial court's war horses and provisions arrived?"

The sentry knight nodded first, then immediately shook his head.

The generals were all confused when they saw it and asked questions one after another.

"It was Li Shunzu, the governor of the capital camp, who led the capital camp to return the war horses and grain and grass that the imperial court had stopped sending to our army in the past few days!"

Mangui was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately started clapping the case.

"Everyone, come out of the tent with me to greet you!"
