In the next few days, Changle and Cao Zhang were still eating, drinking and having fun, but the situation in Jiaohe City began to gradually change, and it was not getting better and better, but getting worse and worse.

Early in the morning, the noise outside the military camp sounded. Groups of heavy cavalrymen led their attendants and pulled the heavy armor of the war horses, and they actually swayed straight to Keyumen Pass. These were not one or two. The three thousand heavy armored cavalry recruited by Guanzhong left more than two, which caused an extremely severe weakening of the military power of the Protectorate's Mansion.

So much so that Wen Qin, the general of the military control of the Protectorate, chased him out with a fever and sweating. He led dozens of Central Plains cavalry under his command to block the road and shouted loudly in anger.

"Must Liying, do you want to rebel?"

"General, you can't say that. We are a military household in Liangzhou, but we are not under the jurisdiction of your Western Regions Protectorate. Besides, the three-month military period has passed more than a month. Isn't it natural for us to go home? Say goodbye!"

There were no birds, and Jiang Fan, the cavalry commander of Yicheng, lazily clasped his fists, then pulled the horse around him, and then walked eastward. This annoyed the Central Plains cavalry and pulled out the sabers with a buzzing sound. But these Guanxi knights were not afraid of him. Looking at the shiny sabers of the cavalry under Wen Qin, he smiled and considered the cavalry on his war horse, but inadvertently showed a murderous intent.

"What? General Wen still wants to be a bad guy with Aoya?"

"Receive the knife, rude!"

Just kidding, he fought with two or three thousand landlords and cavalry who relied on murder. Wen Qin was not clamped by the door again and shouted at his subordinates. He smiled and clasped his fists again.

"Wei Duwei Jiang and others left their hometowns and came thousands of miles to guard the borders of our Great Wei. We know this pain! But now the Protectorate's Office is about to attack Shule, and the real man is full of passion and will be a human being forever. This is a pity for you to return home like this when you are truly committed to making achievements?"

"Also make achievements? There is a general in our Protectorate. I don't want to starve to death on this Gobi Desert without being killed by the Hu people. Brothers, let's go!"

With his shout, the entire team heard another sarcastic sound. Then the heavy cavalry and the escorts brought by the five or six thousand entourages passed over Wen Qin and the others without looking back, which made Wen Qin blush and white.

…………

It was not just this excuse to force these cavalrymen to escape from the West, and the wine in Jiaohe City was gone.

Originally, Jiaohe City had just been seized for a month, and the shops and taverns that were opened on the main street were closed again. In almost two or three days, Jiaohe City Street was exactly the same as the main city of the Western Regions Protectorate, which was dominated by political sergeants in the past.

But it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After daily training, I have a drink, but now I have no more to quench my thirst and fatigue, and my food is messy. Not to mention the Kansai knights, even the infantry and cavalry under the Protectorate's Mansion can't stand it.

There was no longer the style of elite soldiers in the world. Wang Shuang's subordinates squatted into the military camp, covered their heads and fell asleep, but Zhang He couldn't help but find the city.

"Sir, is the supply of our army this month wrong?"

After being accepted by Wang Hou, the remaining more than 6,000 soldiers of the Kanto Bafu knew what it means to be a soldier. The best military armor was provided. In the past, it was thankful for the military rations to be full when they were full. Now, there are eggs in the morning, and at noon and evening, either canned fish or bacon stews. The soldiers were tired of eating meat.

But this month, the original rich supplies were cut and there was not even one-third of them before. How could the soldiers who were used to living a wealthy life bear it?

But listening to his complaints, Old Zhong Yao was so worried that he frowned even more than him!

In just a few days, the trades and travels that had been in constant contact were interrupted all of a sudden. The Protectorate's largest source of wealth and the commercial tax almost dried up.

Moreover, the second pillar of the Protectorate's Mansion came from the support within the pass, and it suddenly broke this month. Zhong Yao was shocked to ask the supply captain stationed here by Liangzhou Governor Zhang Jia. As a result, he understood that the Western salary was donated by the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce. Now that they have stopped their money and grain, what's the use of asking me? I can produce canned food!

Originally, Zhong Yao looked down on those merchants very much, but now he had no money and food, and the tall ten gentry masters bent his waist. He had no choice but to visit the headquarters of the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce in Jiaohe City. Who knew that here, his old face was shivering again. The Western Regions Chamber of Commerce was almost empty, so he left an old man to pack up his things and chatted with him.

The Western Regions Protectorate is about to be finished! Put oil on the soles of your feet and your soldiers are not in a fight. The men think that instead of investing in the Western Regions Protectorate, it is better to invest in the Heishan Shanshan, a country established in the southern province! Investing money, grain and materials there is a higher possibility to open up the southern Silk Road!

Almost overnight, the powerful Western Regions Protectorate had fallen to the embarrassing state of Ban Chao's era.

"Sir, what should I do? No food or pay, how can I take such brothers under my command?"

Seeing Zhong Yao shook his head, Zhang He was anxious. If it were the case in the past, if he did not provide enough support to his troops, the soldiers would really rebel!

Zhang Liao hasn't finished the trouble yet! On the other end, the counselor Yang Jun ran over anxiously.

"Sir, please take care of it quickly! Zhongping and Xun Yao, the bastards, have resigned!"

Zhong Yao's face changed violently again after hearing this. Indeed, he and Yang Junwenqin brought some scholars from Central China to form Cao Zhang's Western Regions Protectorate's Team, but the Protectorate's Office needed more than a few dozen civil positions, and Secretary Cang Ling, which cost five or six hundred.

Most of these people are graduates of Chang'an Academy created by Guanzhong in imitating the Liaodong Academy. These people are not talented, but the Protectorate's Mansion will still fall apart after erecting their screws.

What Yang Jun said was the leaders of this group of civilian officials.

Seeing the anxious eyes of his colleagues, Zhong Yao finally nodded in pain.

"I see!"

"Come here, I will send you the lieutenant Zhong Hui!"

Nowadays, Zhong Hui dared not neglect his father's orders. In less than ten minutes, he had left his work behind and came back quickly.

"Father, you are recruiting children!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Yao suddenly turned a stern voice and stretched out his hand!

"Come on, take down this coward who escaped at the last minute!"

"Father!"

His eyes widened in disbelief, but Zhong Hui could not argue. Apart from this sound, he could only be taken off silently. Seeing that Zhong Hui was taken away by several escorts of the Protectorate's Mansion, Zhang He, who was besieged by the side, could not help but exclaim.

"Old Master, why is this?"

"General Zhang He, your troops need food and salary?"

"That's right!"

"Come here, take General Zhang He to me too! Take it to Jiaohe City Square, and send someone to ask the Protector and Miss Changle to release Captain Deng Ai immediately! Hurry!"

"Old Master?"

When he was dragged out, Zhang He screamed in horror, but Zhong Yao also screamed helplessly.
Chapter completed!
