Chapter 160: I am not gay

"Want to!"

"Dreaming of it!!"

Adunla laughed ferociously: "Now the Da Qian country is no longer a male lion with strong soldiers and sturdy horses, it is just a sick tiger. As long as we eat this sick tiger...

Whatever we want, we will have!"

Today Adunla was just testing the Prince of Zhenbei's determination and means, and even the defeat was intentional. As long as the Prince of Zhenbei continued to attack later, he would seize the opportunity and beat the Zhenbei Army to waste in one go!

Once the Zhenbei Army is gone, the Beijiang of Da Qian will have to change hands, and then they, the Xiongnu, will directly border Zhongyuan.

Wei Xikang and the Prince of Zhenbei returned to the camp, Wei Xikang was overjoyed: "Uncle's bravery today is not less than in the past! It's just a pity that Adunla escaped!"

"Yes! That Adunla is full of tricks, and there must be an ambush behind him, so I didn't pursue."

The Prince of Zhenbei took off his armor, and the doctor hurriedly stepped forward to bandage the Prince of Zhenbei. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy! It's already very good to achieve such a victory." Wei Xikang nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the city was cheering, and the atmosphere was significantly different from before the departure. At first, when they received the order to attack the Xiongnu, many people didn't understand, but they still followed the order.

Now that they had achieved victory, they were surprised to find that the Xiongnu were nothing more than this, and it was not impossible to defeat them.

Wei Xikang was thinking deeply about what he could do with this victory.

Then, after the Prince of Zhenbei was bandaged, he excitedly said: "Uncle, spread this victory throughout Beijiang! At the fastest speed!"

"Why?" The Prince of Zhenbei was puzzled.

Wei Xikang enlightened the Prince of Zhenbei: "Do you remember the news before the war?"

"Hmm! But what does that have to do with the victory of this battle?" The Prince of Zhenbei put on his clothes, not looking at the wound at all.

"Of course! Now the food for the Zhenbei Army all relies on the support of the prefecture. Once the news of the pass being closed and food being cut off spreads throughout Beijiang, what do you think will happen?" Wei Xikang's face became solemn.

"Food prices... will rise again!" The joy of the Prince of Zhenbei's victory just now disappeared instantly.

Wei Xikang nodded, then shook his head.

"Not only that, will the prefecture still give us food? Food is eating one grain less, they are probably reluctant to part with it themselves!"

The Prince of Zhenbei thought optimistically, "Should not, they have no choice, now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope."

"No! They will definitely choose to protect themselves, because such a thing has already happened once." Wei Xikang knew very well that these people couldn't be relied on, but he couldn't deal with them for the time being.

The Prince of Zhenbei understood now, "So! This victory must be publicized extensively to give them a reassurance."

"Exactly! As long as the news spreads, there is no need to worry about them having ulterior motives."

"Come here! Pass my order!"

The news that the Zhenbei Army had defeated the Xiongnu instantly grew wings and spread everywhere without stopping.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!" A servant ran into the Prefect's mansion in a panic, his face carrying uncontrollable terror.

"Who is not good? Talking nonsense!" The Prefect of Linchuan Jun stepped out of the room and kicked the other party.

The servant rolled twice on the ground, not caring about the pain, and knelt on the ground shouting: "My lord! News came from below that the food coming to our Linchuan Jun is probably not arriving!"

"What's going on?" Hearing this, the Prefect of Linchuan Jun frowned.

"Guansongling, the pass is closed! All grain merchants have been blocked and are not allowed to sell grain to Beijiang." The servant panted, clearing the cause in one breath.

The Prefect hurriedly took two steps forward, "Are you sure it's limited to grain merchants?"

"Sure! According to the people below, grain merchants from Luoyang, Jiangnan, and other places all have the same statement. As long as it is grain transported to Beijiang, not a single grain is sold! Guansongling is also strictly checking merchants, and blocking them if they find grain."

Only then did the Prefect know how serious the matter was. Without a doubt, this was the Imperial Court taking action!

After thinking for only a few breaths, the Prefect of Linchuan Jun made a decision.

"Get me paper and pen, I want to write a letter! Be fast!"

The Prefect of Linchuan Jun knew some officials in the capital, and their relationship was quite good, so he prepared to write to them, asking them to speak for him and transfer him to Zhongyuan.

Of course, he knew the success rate of this was very low. He did this just to leave evidence that he had always been loyal to the Da Qian Dynasty and had never supported the rebel Crown Prince.

Food support definitely couldn't be given to the other party anymore. If it spread out, the Emperor would slaughter him. Not only that, he would write a memorial every day to report the news about Beijiang, letting the Emperor see his loyalty.

The Prefect thought for a long time before he started writing, describing how difficult it was for him, that the rebel Crown Prince had forcibly snatched five thousand shi of grain from the city with the Zhenbei Army, and now the people were living in misery, and he, as the Prefect, felt very heartbroken.

After writing, the Prefect checked it several times to ensure there were no problems before handing it to the servant.

"Send it out, at the fastest speed!"

"Yes!" As soon as the words fell, the servant rushed out of the door, mounted a horse, and headed south. He had already thought about changing horses but not people on the way, and must deliver the letter as soon as possible.

The Prefect of Linchuan Jun slumped in his chair, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

But before his butt was even warm, another person came to report!

"My lord! There is good news!"

"Quick, say it! What good news!"

The Prefect of Linchuan Jun thought to himself, finally there is some good news. He hasn't had it easy during this period!

"The Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhenbei left the city to fight the Xiongnu, and won a great victory!" The servant's face still carried excitement, deeply happy for the Prefect!

"What?"

The Prefect was shocked and continued to ask: "Are you sure it was a head-on battle outside the city, not defending the city?"

"Sure! The news has spread, Adunla was stabbed twice by the Prince of Zhenbei and fled, this battle is a great victory!"

The Prefect's eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Holding the chair, he said word by word: "Quick! Chase the letter back!"

"Ah?" The servant looked confused. Why did the Prefect have a sullen face and want him to chase some letter for such a happy thing?

"Don't 'ah'! Go quickly!" The Prefect roared with his dizzy head.

"Oh! Oh!"

The servant got up stumbling, and didn't know where to go after leaving the door!

"South! South!"

"Good!"

"Ride a horse! You can't catch up even if you break your legs running! You brainless thing!!"

Looking at the departing back, the Prefect of Linchuan Jun sat on the ground without any image.

"Why am I so miserable!"

Jiang Jinshi also received the news Wang Hou had scouted and happily called Yan Wu.

"Look! He's doing fine now! Stop worrying about him."

Yan Wu took the letter, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. After a long while, he realized that he was now Jiang Jinshi's person.

"Great Leader, are you trying to test me by showing me this?"

Jiang Jinshi rolled his eyes and walked away cursing!

"Test your ball! You can go back anytime you want. I am a mountain bandit, yes, but I am not gay!"

"What do you mean?"

"It means, I don't fancy you!" ===== CHAPTER 161 =====
