Chapter 472 Sima Daozi's Aftermath

Chapter 472 Sima Daozi's Aftermath
Liu Yu didn't want to be too busy, everything would be clear when Xie Xuan's military account was over.

Moreover, it does not necessarily have to be in Xie Xuan's tent to understand, as long as you get closer, it will be clear.

Just like now...

"What is this?"

"It's all piled up here!"

Wang Mi reined in the reins, and the galloping horse that had been rushing a moment ago suddenly stopped its hooves, and the whole body leaned back, in great pain.

Also feeling the pain was Wang Mi, who was on horseback.

Just before they were about to rush to the general's tent, they suddenly discovered that there were many obstacles before Xie Xuan's tent, which stretched for ten feet.

A few people had to dismount and walk. Almost all of Xie Xuan's tents were blocked by such obstacles, not to mention horses' hooves, it would be good if people's hooves could stick in their feet.

car!
There are big cars everywhere!

The cart was full of jars, big and small.

Wang Mi glanced briefly, and suddenly felt that these jars were familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere.

The two crossed various obstacles and finally saw Xie Xuan. At this time, Xie Xuan was already sweating with anger.

Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and soon joined the sweat on his cheeks.

"General!"

"How is this going?"

After entering the tent, Wang Mi realized that not only was the outside of the tent full of things, but even the ground inside the tent was also full.

Xie Xuan was too lazy to speak, and glanced at the few standing beside him.

Come on!
all waiting!
The eyes of several people turned to those strangers, embarrassed smiles appeared on their faces, and they suddenly realized that none of the people present was a fuel-efficient lamp.

"General Xie, this is His Majesty's intention, you should keep it."

"If you accept it, we will have a good deal!"

His Majesty?

Old Sima's?
Finally they have their story again?

The people of the Sima family are self-conscious. When they are not needed, they will disappear automatically, and when they are needed, they will come out on their own initiative.

Now that the people from the old Sima family had appeared, it was not far from when Wang Mi returned to Jiankang City.

"Take it?"

"What's the use of me accepting these grains at this time?"

"The soldiers are about to retreat and rest. You throw these grains to me, do you want me to pull back to Jiankang all the way from Xiangyang City?"

It turned out to be really food!

Those familiar big jars finally matched the ones I remembered.

It's the grain tank!

It is exactly the same as the one in the granary of Yuanjiang Shu!
The food sent by the Sima family, which one is this singing?
Since arriving in Xiangyang, Xie Xuan has not written any more letters to the court, at least there are no letters asking for help.

That being the case, why did the imperial court send food to the Beifu soldiers?
Could it be that Sima Yao was suddenly kind-hearted?

"You two are messengers from the imperial court. We haven't asked the imperial court for food recently!"

"When did the court receive the news?"

Wang Mi turned to the two messengers and sent out soul torture.

In his impression, those stingy goods from the Sima family would never take the initiative to benefit others.

The Jin Dynasty was poor!
The small money is controlled by those local tyrants, and the source of income of the imperial court is really limited. I haven't seen Zhang Guiren, Sima Yao's favorite, because there is no strong family assistance, can't even a decent set of jewelry be completed?
Under such circumstances, where did the Sima family mobilize so much food?

Isn't this the act of picking leaves from a tree without roots?
The two messengers were at a loss, they thought why Wuji went out to report the news, they had already made the situation clear.

Who knows, Wang Mi is still in the dark and doesn't know anything.

"When you were still in Jingkou, didn't you ask the imperial court for food? At that time, the imperial court said that half of the food should be sent first, and the second half will be delivered when the money is available."

"This is the second half." The messenger spoke hesitantly, not daring to lift his head, neither to look at Wang Mi, nor to make eye contact with Xie Xuan.

"Kingkou?"

"When did that happen!"

"Why did it arrive at this time!"

Wang Mi finally understood Xie Xuan's anger.

In the Song Dynasty, there was an idiom called "Send charcoal in the snow", and the meaning is very clear. When others are in danger, only the charcoal sent can save lives.

It's the same in any scene. When the Beifu soldiers were desperately short of food, they begged the grandfather to tell the grandmother, and wanted the court to give some support. As a result, they only sent half of the food.

Although it was only half of it, Xie Xuan at that time was very grateful to the court. After all, at that time, they were really short of food.

With this half of the food and grass, it finally solved the urgent need, allowing Beifu to have room to go around to raise food.

But now, everything is different.

Now, with the food supply from Victory Fort and the sharing of Jingzhou soldiers, the food for the Jin army is already quite abundant, and there is no need for the help of the court at all.

These grains are piled up in the barracks. As Xie Xuan said, they are not treasures at all, they are obviously a huge burden.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast.

Whether it is marching or retreating, the same is true.

Huanghuang's 10,000+ army gradually returned to Jingkou from Xiangyang City, using Jingkou as a turnaround station, disbanding part of it, and then bringing the large army back to Jiankang. This is a big project.

Not simple at all.

In the current situation, the army returned victorious, and the food in Xiangyang City was piled up like a mountain. Xie Xuan had already made a preliminary plan, and part of the food was to be returned to the brothers in Deshengbao.

In any case, part of the food in the city was plundered from the fort, so where it came from and where it went back was just reasonable.

As for the food that needs to be carried on the road, as long as it is enough to eat, the food sent by Sima Yao can only be a burden.

"We also want to hurry up!"

"But the imperial court is the food that is given in batches, and it also tells us that we must act prudently and must not go too fast, it is too late."

Who can withstand the wrath of the chief general of Beifu?

Who can withstand the yin and yang of Secretary Wang?

The two messengers were also full of anger. When they got to this point, they simply poured the beans into the bamboo tube and told the whole truth.

With a flick of his sleeve, the responsibility was pushed to Sima Yao.

Is this wrong?
Did the messengers lie?

No!

This is the case.

Sima Yao did it on purpose!

If you want food, I will give it. Although there may be some deductions, it will definitely look good on the surface, but the method is different.

Such a pile of food and grass, obviously precious, has now become a burden, and the credit should be divided equally between Sima Yao and Sima Daozi.

Sima Yao is stingy, he is reluctant to allocate so much food to the Beifu soldiers, what about Sima Daozi?

He is bad.

It was enough to send good food in two batches, but it was not enough for him.

He delayed the escort date a lot, and seeing that the army had already arrived at Xiangyang City, he ordered the soldiers to start the transport.

The army has already arrived in Xiangyang City, and Sima Daozi only started to deliver food at this time. Isn't this an afterthought?
