Standing in the room, Ji Yi lingered for a long time, and the uneasiness in his heart could not be dissipated for a long time. He knows the direction of the sun, and he knows the importance of rain and dew, and it is difficult to make the whole tree grow again based on the judgment of the roots. But with his current strength, he couldn't decide where to go with his roots, so he pondered for a long time, but he couldn't find a way to control the imperial army.

Since he inherited the throne, the imperial army has only appeared in his field of vision three times, the first time is to support himself as emperor, suppress the rebellious ministers and thieves, and drive out the two rebellious parties. The second is to merge the Guolaoyuan, so that the cultivators in it will be included in the imperial army, and ordinary people will be reduced to ordinary courtiers, losing the excessive power of the royal family. The third is this time, and the order that Nanguo and the shooting column will fight against Nanshang alone was issued.

In this order, Ji Yi has a lot of things that are difficult to figure out. For example, what kind of method did the imperial army use to make the southern country and the shooting column take the initiative to ask for battle? If it is a radical general, it is not surprising that they will be attacked in the shooting column, and they have never been strong in this aspect. But Nanguo is famous for its strategists, and his mind is as delicate as water, how can he be calculated like this?

Ji Yi had long felt that something was wrong, but no one could discuss it with him at the moment, and no one could make him completely speak out of his heart. Every time at this time, he thinks of his Zhiduoxing, but unfortunately Father-in-law Mu has slept peacefully under the hibiscus flowers, and everything has to be considered by him alone.

What Yi Yi is worried about now is not the purpose of the imperial army, they are the most loyal ministers of Great Xia, although their behavior is not subject to their own constraints. But my father once said that they would wholeheartedly assist the Ji family, which is their inheritance from generation to generation, and it is also the spirit of the root. It only takes one spirit to produce it can affect many generations. But what the imperial army has done seems to be involved in countless people, and many people will be targeted, and even worry about their lives.

The identities of the leaders of the imperial army and the saints have always been very different. The former has the right to meet with the Holy Lord at any time, and the latter must also meet with him, but the Holy Lord cannot meet the leader of the imperial army like he summons ordinary courtiers.

Yi Yi has been on the throne for so many years, and he has never seen what the leader of the imperial army looks like. Even in ordinary battles, the leader of the imperial army will always make a move, but he will not see each other when he stays with the strong man of the curling wheel. Even Ji Tianhua, Yang Cheng and the others did not see it head-on, although they were close side by side, but they were separated to the edge of the sky by a black robe.

It has been two days since the leader of the imperial army met Xia Xiao, except for Xia Jinghong, only Ji Yi clearly knew that the rest of the courtiers had only received orders from Nanguo and the shooting generals to fight against Nanshang alone. However, there must be a turning point in this matter, that is, the end of the Xia family is unpredictable.

Ji Yi thought about it repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't find a way, but he felt that Xia Xiao's proposal was feasible. Although it is a bit risky, as long as it makes such a fuss, Nanshang will send more troops. That kind of alliance is better than the southern country and the shooting column sacrificed a lot and then were criticized.

However, the calamity is resolved, but the imperial army will not let go of those who stand in their way. Ji Yi's mind was full of these words, but how could he protect Xia Xiao and the other courtiers. If you can't even do this, how can you sit on your throne with peace of mind? In the end, Ji Yi found Ji Tianhua and Yang Cheng and asked cautiously:

"What's going on lately?"

The two great cultivators shrouded this place with their vitality, making it hidden, and then said:

"Someone is monitoring the actions of the strategists, and Xia Xiao is also being watched at all times. ”

"Xia Xiao is okay, he is from the academy, and there is a poisonous elder, so don't worry. But his family and the Xia Mansion in the middle of the palace must send someone to protect him. I always felt that the imperial army could do everything, but Xia Xiao and his family couldn't touch it. ”

"They should know how to be proportionate, so what I'm worried about is Su Zhongmou, his personality is too straight, and he has offended many people in the court. Although he is loyal to the saint, if he is killed by the imperial army and makes an example, I am afraid that Great Xia will lose an iron-blooded loyal minister. In that case, it will only be conducive to the prestige of the imperial army, and the saint will probably be speculated. ”

He sighed, full of sorrow. How early the kings of the generations died is not the sin of the harem, but the sorrows of the world, all of which need to be borne by one person, who can bear it?

"Please also pay more attention to Su Aiqing, Su Aiqing can't have anything, otherwise the ministers in the court will be cold. As for the movements of the imperial army, we still have to see the specific implementation of Xia Xiao's operation. ”

"Isn't his vitality sealed?

Xia Xiao personally proposed that it should be feasible. ”

Ji Yi said, Ji Tianhua and Yang Cheng retreated first, and each recuperated from his injuries. But how exactly did the Imperial Army plan it?

The current Great Xia, Nanguo, and Archery are cultivators with different strengths, and the imperial army wants to cut off the hands and feet of Nanguo and Archery, and tie the three tightly together to face Nanshang. Although it is vicious, it is different from the previous practices of the imperial army.

As soon as this idea arose, it was rejected by Xi Yi, and the imperial army did not seem to play the role of a good person in the eyes of many Great Xia people. Expecting them to come up with a reversal also seems unrealistic and even disappointing. After thinking too much, he felt tired, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

The guards came in with food, and when they saw that there were chickens and fish, they asked:

"Food?"

"Yes! The villain saw that the Holy Lord was contemplating before, so he did not tell the Holy One, and asked the Holy Lord to take the sin!"

"Not guilty, but you will send this roast chicken to General Lin Tian's mansion later. ”

The guards kneeling on the ground hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Say whatever you want. ”

Yi Yi sandwiched a chopstick fish, the light steamed fish was just right for him, and the roast chicken was still left to Lin Tian, he worked day and night, and he had to train the troops and manage the military salute, which was very hard. But the guard said:

"There is a lot of food sent this time, and the Holy One doesn't have to be so frugal. ”

Ji Yi thought it was something to say, and his tone sank.

"The military salary has not yet arrived, these are the people's food, although they must be fed, they can't go to the battlefield hungry, but they can't be wasted, go ahead!"

The gradual cold tone with a little impatience made the guards retreat, and only the guards were still on the side. For ordinary people, such a long fish, paired with fresh vegetables in winter, is really a great luxury and feast. But for the emperor, it didn't mean much. But no matter how luxurious the meal is, in front of Yi Yi at this time, it is dull and has not much color.

Today, the people's food is delivered, and everyone has opened the meat!

In the past week, the whole army only used unburned grain to make porridge and dry food, and the pickles became umami and were eaten up. On the mountains around Xiyang City, wild vegetable roots and hare animals have been caught.

If it weren't winter, there wouldn't be so difficult, but the difficulty would be in the season, and nothing could grow on the mountain in winter, which would make people miserable.

Without waiting for the braised pork to come out of the pot, just smelling the fragrance, everyone was extremely happy, and the whole army was considered alive. As long as they have food, they don't have to be afraid of snow.

In the past, the people of the Great Xia Alliance were afraid of snow. The lack of food is enough to suffer, and if the weather is colder, it will be miserable. But when you have eaten your stomach and your whole body is warm, you are not afraid of heavy snow. As soon as they recalled the feeling of fullness, the soldiers grinned happily and asked.

"It's time to eat, right?"

"It's just, I've been waiting for a long time!"

......

The soldiers couldn't wait, and the people in the cooking class replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, the meat isn't cooked yet. ”

After a long wait, a "open meal" attracted everyone's attention.

The multiple cooking classes shouted in unison, and the cheers suddenly mixed together. No matter how busy you are, you can have a good rest now, and the soldiers who patrol the meal point are all complaining, but the rules are the rules, and you have to abide by them! But the food is enough, and you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat or run out of meat.

For the soldiers on the battlefield, not having enough to eat is really a more painful thing than being injured. But as soon as the grain arrived today, it changed the way it was stored. In the past, most of them were hoarded, and a few were assigned to various cooking classes, but now they are directly distributed according to the number of heads, hoarded in the cooking class, and the rest is stored again. In this way, even if someone came to burn it, the location of the grain could not be determined instantly, and the soldiers did not have to worry about running out of food.

The hunger of the past week has brought fear into the hearts of the people, and they never want to think about it again. When they ran into the warm room with their rice bowls, they were in a good mood, and this was the advantage of camping in the city rather than outside, and many of the houses were free to use. The houses were warmer than the tents, and the thought of the southern merchants freezing in the snow made them eat more appetizingly.

"Give me two more steamed buns!"

"Today's steamed buns are enough!"

The old squad leader lifted the quilt, took out the hot steamed buns, and stuffed them into the hands of the little soldiers, his face full of joy. He told everyone not to worry, and to come and get it after eating, otherwise it would be cold. When everyone was eating meat, he also took a bowl of braised pork with soup and took a bite of the steamed bun, which was simply delicious.

"You kid has eaten five!"

"I'm afraid of hunger. ”

The little soldier's mouth was full of bags, and the veteran joked:

"Eat more, if you die, you're a full ghost!"

Everyone laughed, and the little soldier looked like he had just come of age, a beggar who had taken advantage of the chaos of the army to get in, and he was going to eat for the sake of the mix. It's war years, and it's not realistic to send him out, after all, he doesn't even have a home. After leaving the barracks, I am afraid that he will starve to death in this cold winter, and no one outside the barracks is willing to share a quilt with him.

However, carrying an arrow basket on the battlefield is also a good man. As long as there is food to eat, this kid is more energetic than anyone else, and he is satisfied with every bowl of porridge in the past week, but he can't eat enough.

A quarter of an hour after the meal began, everyone laughed and hiccuped each other, as if they were louder than anyone else. At these sounds, snowflakes began to fall in the sky like goose feathers.

Snowflake petals fall from the sky to the human world, burrow into the person's mouth, and are melted into a small drop of water by the heat inside, which flows deep into the body.

This snow is to come, and this is just the beginning. But they couldn't stop the carnival of the Great Xia people, and the grain delivery of the Southern Merchants was definitely not as fast as theirs, so they cursed and shouted, making the Southern Merchants grit their teeth for a long time, eager to immediately launch an attack, flatten the Xiyang City, and then snatch their food and beds, and burrow into the warm quilt like them, sleeping with only their heads exposed. But there is nothing to do, only to suffer in the real ice and snow.
