Sixty-eight trucks of grain and sixteen trucks of cloth were lined up in front of Shen Xi. The soldiers were happily unloading the trucks and counting the quantity.

Chen Xi was very surprised by the food falling from the sky.

Zhang Yong and Liu Jin rushed over after hearing the news. When they heard the sound, they thought the rebels attacked the camp, so they were so scared that they almost packed up the bedding and hid in Lingui City. After learning that someone was coming to deliver food, they turned their worries and hurried to Chenxi to check the situation.

From a distance, Zhang Yong's voice came: "Mr. Shen, what happened? Why did our family hear that the rebels took the initiative to deliver food... This is a coincidence. Our army just lacked food, so the rebels took the initiative to deliver food. Will there be any fraud? You are the commander of the three armies. If there is any problem, you have to bear it!"

When encountering things that need to be responsible, Zhang Yong usually throws them cleanly and refuses to take the blame. But if there is no responsibility involved, Zhang Yong likes to speak in front of Shen Xi, and always wants to influence Chen Xi to make decisions with his own will.

After Liu Jin came up to check it out, he was very surprised: "It's all the best rice... The grain came too timely. It was like a long drought and rain, which made people feel so incredible... Can Lord Shen find out the truth?"

Su Jingyang looked proud: "Is this necessary to check? The rebels knew that Lord Shen was famous and knew he was defeated. They took the initiative to send food to the court. They knew that they were familiar with each other. If they sent troops to settle their village in a few days, it would be useless to want to surrender at that time!"

When Chenxi's army was short of food, the rebels automatically sent the food. What does this mean? It shows that Chenxi's reputation has spread throughout the southwestern border and has reached the point where the opponent surrenders without fighting! As a result, Chenxi's image in the army has been infinitely raised, and the soldiers are more and more impressed by Chenxi.

Wang He asked: "Mr. Shen, what do you think of this matter?"

Chen Xi really wanted to say that I didn’t know where this batch of food came from. You can make a conclusion here first, saying that this was taken by the rebels’ surrender, but where is the main force of the rebels? The food was delivered but the people did not arrive. Could it be that they were throwing stones to ask for directions, and they wanted to figure out my attitude first before surrendering?

Chen Xi said calmly: "It's good to send food. No matter how it comes, it can be in emergency response. If a rebel comes to surrender later, all of them will be accepted... By the way, I will write a notice later, and you will help me post it. Let's say that the army will accept all forms of surrender. As long as the rebels put down their swords and guns, they will not blame them. If they are afraid of revenge by the local government, they can surrender to our official!"

Zhang Yong smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Shen, what you said is really interesting. This is not to catch thieves, but to suppress the rebellion. You posted a notice outside the camp, can the rebels see it?"

"I haven't tried it, how could I know the rebels can't see you?"

Chen Xi looked at Zhang Yong several times and said with a serious look, "The rebels have great magical powers, which is beyond your imagination. Even if they know that there is a shortage of food in our army, it means that there must be an internal force in the army, and it is even possible that this internal force is a senior general... By the way, it is not one of you, right?"

Chen Xi looked around, and all the generals looked evasive, even Zhang Yong and Liu Jin were a little afraid... If Chen Xi was charged with a bandit and killed, it would be too unfair to die.

Su Jingyang smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't be suspicious... I can't guarantee anything else. If any of these bastards under Beizhi dares to be a spy, they will be smashed into pieces. Please believe in Beizhi and his soldiers' loyalty to the court!"

Wang He also quickly defended: "Sir, I can guarantee that the Jianggan soldiers will never dare to betray the court!"

Chen Xi finally looked at Zhang Yong and Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong shouted: "Mr. Shen, you can't take revenge on your own... What kind of spy? Is there any evidence? Since our family entered the camp, we have never had any contact with the outside world. If you want to prove that our family is a spy, you have to come up with evidence first!"

Su Jingyang glanced at Zhang Yong and said, "Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Liu, Lord Shen didn't mention your names, so I'm so nervous? Could it be that I'm guilty?"

Zhang Yong cursed: "What does it mean to be guilty? This is called self-dispute! If someone surnamed Su, do we believe it or not, we will follow the imperial court to study your book, saying it is a slander of the military supervisor?"

Zhang Yong's face was red and his ears were obviously very angry.

Before, Su Jingyang and Wang He were a little respectful to him and Liu Jin, but now his attitude has obviously become colder. It is obvious that the army is united with Chen Xi, and he doesn't even want to give the military supervisor a face.

Liu Jin hurriedly said, "Everyone, aren't you talking about the rebels' food donation? Why did you get involved with spies? How could there be spies in this army? Lord Shen, please say something quickly... The rebels brought the food, but before they could do anything, there was an internal strife in the army. This is not a good sign!"

Chen Xi raised his hand and the big tent was originally full of noise, and in an instant, it was silent.

"This batch of food and grass is about 100,000 kilograms, and it can be supported by a little saving of about half a month. The matter of going out to suppress the rebellion has come to an end for a while, and the troops must not move rashly. However, the defense around the camp must also be strengthened. If anyone leaves the camp without authorization, they will be dealt with by military law. Is there any problem?"

Chen Xi looked around again.

Su Jingyang expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, sir, you can practice them when you go back to your post and implement the training methods you taught from beginning to end! In this way, they are so tired that they go back to the tent and go to bed, so how can they have the intention to go out and make trouble?"

Wang He also said: "Take the weather cool, it's just right to train troops. I guarantee that our Jianggan soldiers will never cause trouble for the adults!"

Chen Xi nodded and waved his hand to indicate the meeting was over.

...

...

When the grain entered the warehouse, Chenxi still did not understand the situation.

Chen Xi sent Yunliu and Xier out to investigate, but there was no result yet.

The hundreds of coachmen who came with the army were in charge of driving the car. After the soldiers asked, they realized that they were all Han people around, and they were just dressed in Miao villages, not Miao people.

Asked in detail, these people said that they were forced to transport food to Lingui by the Miao people. There were about 100 Miao people escorted. When the convoy was discovered by the official army, they quickly turned over and evacuated.

Chen Xi sent people to search, but found no clues.

The series of strange things that Chen Xi encountered since he went south made him feel incredible. It seemed that someone helped him along the way, but as for whom he secretly helped, he had no idea at all.

As dusk approaches, Yunliu brings the latest news... Although the scouts have conducted a strict investigation, no results have been found.

Yunliu stood in front of Shen Xi, with a look of ashamed and self-blame: "Sir, Bei Zhi was ordered to investigate the mountains and forests within 50 miles of Lingui, but he still found no useful clues. It was said that the Miao people sent food, but he did not see a single Miao person. Bei Zhi was worried that there might be any conspiracy in this!"

Chenxidao: "The food sent has passed the inspection, and the chickens and dogs that tested the poison showed no signs of poisoning. The experienced military logistics officer said that this batch of food is all new food this year and the quality is very good. By the way, have I investigated several areas I mentioned to you?"

Yunliu bowed: "Sir Hui, the villages on the hills around Lingui are empty, and it seems that they have been abandoned for several months. As for Xing'an to the north, the Quanzhou area has no reward because of the long journey."

Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I really opened my eyes. I have been taking soldiers for several years. I have never heard of such a strange thing. Could it be that the court sent people to secretly help me to quell the rebellion? There were people who informed me along the way, and even if the rebels wanted to attack the camp, there were people who set fire to remind me... If I could not find any clues, wouldn't my every move beneath others' calculations?"

Chen Xi is accustomed to controlling the situation, and he is responsible for all the implementation of plans, so that he can know his opponent and his own people on the battlefield.

But now, the people who helped him secretly made him anxious. Someone was hiding under his nose and doing things. With his familiarity with the terrain, these people came and went without a trace, and even did things, Chen Xi could not find out what was wrong.

...

...

In the next few days, Chen Xi did not lead troops into the city, nor did he send troops to search the surrounding area of ​​Lingui on a large scale.

In Shen Xi's opinion, the things he can think of can also be thought of by those who secretly help them, and making big fuss is purely futile.

What he has to do now is to ensure the absolute safety of Song Xiaocheng's fleet, which has transported food and grass from Fujian and Guangdong. He is afraid that someone will use the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain, so he will focus on Lingui. His real purpose is to find an opportunity to attack the grain transport team.

Chen Xi called Wang He and Su Jingyang to ask, and see who would like to pick up the food and grass.

Su Jingyang looked at Wang He without thinking, "It seems that General Wang is the most suitable! I heard from the adults that the fleet has arrived in Wuzhou. It takes about half a month to go there. The camp will naturally be guarded from the Mo to the future... General Wang, I will give you this great opportunity to make contributions!"

Wang He wanted to curse and held back his anger: "Why didn't General Su go? Our Jiangxi Army's training is at a critical moment. It is really not advisable to send troops halfway through. However, General Su often leads troops out of the camp for training recently. Isn't this a better way to train food? Besides, I'm afraid that he will not do well and will ruin the great things for the adults!"

Chen Xi looked at the two of them. They were smarter than the other. They were both helping each other to send troops to escort food and grass, for fear of missing a more critical battle to eliminate the rebels.
