In October of the 22nd year of Yanping, Li Wei received news that Zhao Yu ordered people to seize the grain fields near Zhengping County. A batch of grain was to be transported from Zhengping County to Ganyang County as a military reserve.
The winter in the north is bitingly cold and the roads are icy, which is not conducive to fighting. However, Li Wei wants to intercept this batch of food. It is best if he can snatch it away. If he cannot snatch it away, he cannot support it in vain. defeated the enemy.
"Is this news true or is it deliberately released by the enemy to confuse us?"
Fu Liang said: "The general has seen with his own eyes that the grains are all real. , one sack after another, enough to hold more than thirty carriages, haha, it must be true, it really can’t be true anymore.”
Le Weisheng said: “This is a good opportunity. , but it is also very risky. Once the main force of our army goes to rob the grain, the enemy will take the opportunity to attack the city, and the losses in Jinyang will be terrible."
"Hey, the imperial court is really interesting, the defense facilities are all destroyed. It’s been ruined. After all this time, the Ministry of Finance still hasn’t released the money. Is it because you really don’t want to do it?”
“The Ministry of Finance said there is no money.”
“If you don’t have money, you won’t think about it.” Is there any way? If the emperor only accepts a few concubines, the soldiers on the front line will be fed? What am I saying?”
He twitched his lips, really too lazy to tell him.
Li Wei knew that Fu Liang was outspoken, but he didn't argue with him.
"Zhao Yu is planning this."
If they go to rob food, Zhao Yu must have arranged a backup plan; if they don't go, then the food and grass will be transported to Ganyang. Jinyang was also a hit. Although there is currently no shortage of food in Jinyang, it is already early winter. Logically speaking, the court should distribute food and wages after collecting taxes. The delay so far shows that the treasury is still not optimistic. If they can get this food and grass, it will definitely be a good thing for Jinyang.
Li Wei said cruelly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
This risk is still worth taking.
Li Gao ordered Fu Liang to lead 3,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry to intercept the grain and grass, and asked Le Weisheng to lead 50,000 horses to respond.
Things went smoothly. There were only three thousand soldiers sent by Zhao Yu to escort them. After a fierce battle with the army brought by Fuliang, they had to choose to retreat. Fu Liang was very measured and did not let anyone chase him. He was worried that Zhao Yu would set an ambush, so he rushed all the way to the agreed place with the grain truck.
"General Fu, are there any pursuers?"
Fu Liang was sweating profusely from running and said panting: "Hey, I, Lao Fu, am doing something, don't worry. . "Zhao Yu didn't catch up."
"Didn't catch up?"
"What? You still expect something to happen to me?" < /p>
Le Weisheng explained: "General Fu misunderstood, I'm just worried that this is a trap set by King Zhao."
Fu Liang glared, "Hey, thenAre you saying that I, Old Fu, have no brains? Let me tell you, the last person who said that about me, Lao Fu, is still in Kyoto. Don’t be arrogant! ”

Le Weisheng felt that Zhao Yu must have figured out that they would come to rob the grain, and Fu Liang robbed the grain so smoothly. There must be some fraud involved, but with all the food and grass in their hands, what else can Zhao Yu do?
"Open the bag! "
Fu Liang said in confusion: "Open? If you want to fight, go back and fight. Open it here. What if that kid Zhao Yu catches up? Are you responsible? Stop talking nonsense and come back with me! "
Le Weisheng was still worried and said, "Open one or two bags of things that don't matter. Brother Fu, wait a moment. I'll be done soon." "
As a last resort, Le Weisheng had no choice but to do it himself to avoid Fu Liang's obstruction. Fu Liang really couldn't say much when he saw this.
Le Weisheng opened two bags one after another. , all confirmed that it was food and grass, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he changed the carriage and continued to open it to verify.
Fu Liang said impatiently: "Are you finished? Mother-in-law is acting like a mother-in-law, hurry up, King Chen is still waiting for us to go back. ”
“That’s it. I’ll go back after checking this.” "
While the two were talking, a ray of fire hit the grain truck, followed by a violent explosion. Le Weisheng, who was the closest, was blown three meters away and passed out. On the ground, the personnel was unknown.
Before Fu Liang could recover, hundreds of flaming arrows flew towards the grain truck, and there were loud explosions. There were continuous sounds, and the Huben soldiers fell on their backs. Hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and thousands more were injured.
At this chaotic moment, Shen Tuxu rushed out with the Shenwu soldiers, and the Huben soldiers were killed. The explosion affected morale, and Le Weisheng was seriously injured. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Fu Liang did not dare to fight, so he rescued Le Weisheng and gave the order to retreat.
The Shenwu Army pursued him and captured him. With nearly a thousand people, the grain robbery plan completely failed.
When he returned to Jinyang and heard the whole story of the failure, Li Wei was furious, demoted Fu Liang's position, and asked the military doctor to do his best to treat Le Weisheng. After several days of rescuing, one life was saved, but the person never woke up. Fu Liang felt deeply guilty about this.
This battle also prompted Emperor Yan Ping to make up his mind to send Li Jun to the front line. .
Now that the civil strife has subsided and the Chu army has withdrawn, they only need to concentrate on driving the Shenwu Army out of Zhengping County, and then the world will be able to regain peace and peace will be restored in half a year. By that time, there will be another war. Jinyun's national power has been wasted by successive wars, and it really can't wait.
However, Li Wei has already taken the position of commander-in-chief of the Huben Army. Fearing that officials from King Chen's line would be dissatisfied with removing him from his position and giving it to Li Han, Emperor Yan Ping thought about it and gave it to Li Han.He was given the position of supervisor of the army and asked him to assist Li Wei in conquering Zhengping.
Li Jun didn't really want to go to the front line, but he couldn't shirk it. He sighed and reluctantly obeyed the order and said goodbye to his wife and his one-year-old son.
When Li Han left, his son Li Ying, who had always been at odds with him, suddenly felt something. He held him in his arms and refused to let go, crying and crying, which made people feel very distressed. Li Jun tried to coax him for a while but to no avail, so he had to teach his son seriously, "Protecting the home and the country is the unshirkable responsibility of every passionate man. Even if there is bloodshed and sacrifice, we must face it calmly and cannot escape. Waiting for you When we grow up, we must protect our mountains and rivers and protect our families."
Li Jun solemnly extended his fist, and Li Ying also extended his small fist in confusion. After a slight collision with his father, Li Xun said: "Dad has given your mother to you, you have to protect her like a man."
Li Ying nodded his head, no. I don’t know if I understand, but I stopped crying. Li Han took advantage of this atmosphere and quickly hugged Wei Haohao and left.
Li Ying seemed to be confused and stopped crying when he saw Li Jun left.
