Chapter 236 Zhou Ruyuan, why don’t you eat minced meat?
Is it his illusion, or is it caused by too dark light in the room?
Sun Zhong still has things to do and doesn’t have time to think about it for too long.
This place in the northwest is very barren. Not to mention the products, sometimes it is difficult to even draw water.
He had finally prepared this feast. Now that Shen Lanxi said no, I wonder if she is claiming to be noble?
I wanted to let the soldiers eat it, but I was worried that she would make up for it later. Sun Zhong felt that the latter was more likely.
“Tell the kitchen that the ingredients for the Jie Feng Banquet should be put away if they can be put away, and cooked if they can’t be put away.”
“Yes!”
Also Battle reports and the deployment of Turkic troops are all secrets in the army, so he needs to get them in person!
"General, she was just sent by His Majesty to take charge of the marriage. Let's give these to her, okay?"
Sun Zhong glanced at the deputy general, who only knew one thing but not the other.
"Send it to her. If you don't send it now, you will send it later. Let's just treat it as a favor!" The old troops of the Northern Expedition Army will follow the King of Zhennan. After they leave, , these still have to be handed over to Shen Lanxi.
There is no need to break up over these now. Of course, he still has reservations about some important battle reports.
Shen Lanxi is a woman, how can she understand battle reports!
Sun Zhonggang had the battle report carried away, and his subordinates who had gone to greet the marriage delegation came over to tell him what happened along the way.
"She is accompanied by Wei Dongzhu, the young general of the Wei family army, Wei Dongzhu!"
Sun Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the battle report he sent away before.
Isn’t that what Wei Dongzhu wants to see?
"Isn't Wei Dongzhu dead?"
Vice general: "Not dead, and my subordinates don't know the reason. I only saw him holding the tiger talisman of the Wei family army!"
< br>
Sun Zhong stared straight for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and he immediately asked someone to send all the battle reports to Shen Lanxi.
He understood that Shen Lanxi's support was Wei Dongzhu!
If Wei Dongzhu had been fighting against the rebellion, Dongchuan’s battle report would explain it.
It’s just that he has a problem that he doesn’t understand. Why does Wei Dongzhu, a grown man, push a woman, Shen Lanxi, in front of others?
Even if he doesn’t want to reveal his identity, he should put a man in the position. Thinking of Shen Lanxi's face, I can understand it again.
It’s so hard for a hero to be a beauty!
While eating, Shen Lanxi analyzed the battle situation with her subordinates.
On the left and right sides of the desk are maps of the northwest and maps of the territories of the three Turkic tribes.
“Previously, the three tribes sent envoy Abe Hiroshi to come for peace talks. In more than two years, no fewer than six peace talks were held in total, and it was this person named Abe Hiroshi who came!”
Qian Feng frowned: "Judging from so many harassments, I feel that the three tribes have no intention of peace talks."
Wei Dongzhu said with sharp eyes: "The three tribes are ambitious. What they really want is to annex my territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The peace talks are just to leave enough time for them to supply supplies later!"
"The Turks are following The Tatars are mainly nomadic, and the time they choose to raid is a time when water and grass are abundant. "At this time, both horses and people can have enough food and drink to have enough strength to fight."
Xiao Fang: "Foreigners have captured nine cities and slaughtered nearly tens of thousands of people. Let's just start fighting against such beasts!"
Ban Sicao: "Why fight? Didn't you hear what the general said? They are leaving, how can we fight? Do you expect us to fight against the three tribes?
Shen Lanxi: "We have a day off tomorrow. Our people must be properly arranged within two days!"
Wei Dongzhu understood what he meant. The soldiers and horses hiding in the dark had not yet appeared, and the Northern Expedition Army could not be discovered.
Shen Lanxi said with a faint look in her eyes: "If my prediction is correct, Zhou Ruyuan should be arriving in Dongchuan soon." Several people answered silently.
"When he arrives in Dongchuan, he will definitely report it to the court. Now is not the time for us to take the initiative. When someone takes care of the most difficult things for us, we can do it later. It is just and logical. "
Several people have heard the words "justifiable" from Shen Lanxi more than once, and they feel that it is unnecessary.
Is she such a well-behaved person?
Okay, you must be polite!
“You guys have a good rest tonight, I will take you on patrol tomorrow!”
“Yes!”
……
After Zhou Ruyuan received the report from the court, he had no choice but to separate from Bai Qingling in advance and lead his people to Dongchuan day and night!
When we arrived, the wind was already biting. There were still gusts of frost and snow in the wind.
He has already caught a glimpse of Dongchuan’s coldness!
However, after he actually took over the military camp, even though he was in the tent, he felt the biting cold wind and the chill in his heart!
“Why are there so many debts?”
"Why is there no food and grass?"
"Why are there so many women in the camp?"
If it were not for the guidance of local officers and soldiers, he would have thought he had entered the military camp.
Liu Yanhui picked up one from the tall pile of account books and opened it to Zhou Ruyuan.
“Because the DPRK never gave the counter-rebellion army a bag of grain and a penny of silver, so General Shen had no choice but to borrow money from merchants and local prominent families!”
Zhou Ruyuan didn't believe it.
"How could the imperial court not give food and grass? Didn't you ask for it from the imperial court?"
Liu Yan raised his eyebrows. The words of the God of War reminded him of an ancient book, why don't you eat? Minced meat?
“I want it, why didn’t I want it!” A box next to it contained replies from the court.
It was reasonable and well-founded, and he didn’t mind telling Zhou Ruyuan what he thought.
"Don't talk about it before General Shen has been granted the title. Let's just say that after General Shen was granted the title of general to quell the rebellion, every two months, the general will order us to draft a document requesting food, salary and food. These They are all replies from the imperial court! "
"This letter says that the two rebel kings in Dongchuan are blocking the way and the imperial court cannot transport it. Please solve the problem of food, grass and wages for the counter-rebellion army by yourself. "
"This letter is about the same, and it is to let the counter-rebellion army handle it on its own!"
"This letter makes it clear that the army will collect grain from the local area, but after the people of Dongchuan paid the taxes, they no longer had anything at home. Extra money and food.”
“And this letter...”
Each letter has the imperial seal on it, so it cannot be faked!
Zhou Ruyuan's mind went blank for a moment, and then asked: "How did the counter-rebellion army solve the problem when the imperial court did not provide food and grass?"
It is not so much a solution, but how to survive. of.
Liu Yanhui had already responded and pulled out the next account book.
“Didn’t I say it before? It’s all borrowed from the generals, wealthy businessmen and local prominent families!”
Zhou Ruyuan's eyes widened and he asked, "How come there are so many people willing to borrow?" He knew those wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families very well, and getting them to provide money and food was even harder than reaching the sky.
Liu Yan smiled back and said: "Our general has recognized more than a hundred adopted sons and daughters, as well as adopted brothers and sisters. These people are all descendants of wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families. With this level of kinship, , they are naturally willing to borrow it."
Zhou Ruyuan didn't say anything for a long time.
