CHAPTER XVI
Qiu Yebai walked with Baili Lingfeng about a hundred meters away, she stopped, looked at Baili Lingfeng and said straight to the ground: "I don't trust Mei Su." ”
When Baili first heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't stop it, just quietly watched them walk away together.
Baili Lingfeng glanced at her, nodded, and gestured in one direction: "This way, please." ”
"Marshal, may I speak to you alone?" Autumn leaves white glanced at Mei Su, and then said to Baili Lingfeng.
Mei Su looked at her and smiled slightly: "My lord, this is over, aren't we discussing with you?" ”
Qiu Ye Bai reached out and pressed Bai Li Chu's wrist, and then looked at Bai Li Lingfeng and Mei Su and the others coldly: "Actually, you have already decided, you are just here to inform me of this decision, right?" ”
The others were so inexplicable that they also felt that treacherous coldness, and no one dared to speak for Li Mu.
"It's not your turn to ......." Li Mu was annoyed, and was about to say something, but was swept away by the cold and gloomy eyes under his mask, and the gaze was so cold that he instantly felt as if he was in a cold and terrifying dark space, he froze all of a sudden, swallowed the words back, and didn't dare to say a word.
Everyone looked over in unison, only to find that the person who spoke was the masked man who had been silent before.
"Nope." A cool voice suddenly remembered.
Not only Baili Lingfeng and his subordinates, but even Mei Su looked at her with a smile: "That's right. ”
Akiba Bai was stunned and pointed to his nose: "Marshal, the person you are talking about will not be ...... This seat? ”
"The Meisi Games will go first, but Meisiyun is alone, but I am afraid that I can't do it, so I need a capable person to help." After Baili Lingfeng finished speaking, he looked at Autumn Leaf Bai.
Listening to these words now, she seemed to want to ......
Until now, she has been reduced to a dispensable class of troops in the military department, and there is a naval army in the interior, and the transportation of the sea and the river are fundamentally two different things, and the main role of the inland naval army is to maintain the safety and order on the canal, if she remembers correctly, it is almost all in the hands of the Mei family, no, Mei Su.
But prosperity must decline, since the first generation of national teachers predicted, voyages will bring evil spirits and disasters, so more than a hundred years ago banned the always prosperous shipping, without shipping, the importance of the navy will be greatly weakened, but the maintenance of various ships costs a lot, so it has been abolished and squeezed scale.
In other words, the navy of the Tianji Empire was once extremely good, and even sailed to several nearby island countries.
When Emperor Zhenwu was still Emperor Xidi, Xidi's navy was quite outstanding, and the pirates were hiding far away, almost extinct, and there are also legends that Emperor Zhenwu had been in exile at sea before inheriting the throne of Xidi, and he was the biggest pirate king.
Isn't it equivalent to the fat meat delivered to the door when he led several large boatloads of grain to the sea?
"We have the navy or ...... Can the navy transport grain, and who will lead this batch of grain? When Autumn Leaves Bai heard this, he turned around in his mind several times, and he didn't have the impression that the Tianji Empire had any outstanding naval forces or navies, but he had heard the gossip that pirates were rampant at sea, and the coastal officers and soldiers were all cowering on the shore.
But......
Qiu Yebai looked at the sand table, it is true that there are seaports in eastern Guangdong and southern Xinjiang, so looking at the sand table, the sea route is already much closer than the land route.
Mei Su also said: "That's right, although the wind is not strong at this time, but the wind direction is very good, if you take the sea route, I believe that in less than seven days, you will be able to reach the seaport of the eastern province of Guangdong." ”
Baili Lingfeng poked somewhere in the sand table with the baton: "That's right, the shortest way is to take the sea route." ”
"Shortcut?" Autumn leaves were stunned and looked at the sand table.
"It will take at least 15 days for our army to carry a large amount of grain and grass along the way to eastern Guangdong, even if Longwei's grain can last so long, so we need someone to take a shortcut and send some of the grain and grass to eastern Guangdong first to alleviate the urgent need."
When Baili Lingfeng heard this, he changed a long stick and drew a line between eastern Guangdong and their current position: "This is the distance we have now, and our current grain and grass are collected from various provinces all the way, but considering the problems of efficiency and front-line consumption, and now that each province is in the time of green seeding, a large amount of grain is also needed." ”
She originally thought that the problem of food shortage would only occur after their army entered the hinterland of the southern Xinjiang province, but this was clearly saying that the grain in eastern Guangdong was no longer enough to supply 100,000 dragon guards.
Qiu Yebai glanced at him, and his gaze fell back on Baili Lingfeng: "And then, how does the marshal plan to solve this matter this time?" ”
"Yes, it means that there is still half of the grain in the grain depot in eastern Guangdong that can supply Longwei, but no one can open the door of the grain depot now." Mei Su said lightly.
"I remember you said that the Mei family's grain depot can only be opened by you or the chief steward of a commercial bank?" Akiba Bai looked at Mei Su and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the simple words of the people present, only to know that the big shopkeeper in eastern Guangdong was carrying the grain collected from eastern Guangdong to southern Xinjiang when there was an accident in southern Xinjiang Province, and was ready to sell it at a good price with the underground grain stored in southern Xinjiang Province, but he didn't want to fight together, all the grain they transported was robbed by the Miao people, not to mention, even the people were trapped in southern Xinjiang and could not return to eastern Guangdong.
Mei Su looked at Qiu Yebai, as if he smiled helplessly: "If the lower official said that the big shopkeeper over there in eastern Guangdong is still trapped in southern Xinjiang, I don't know if the overseer believes it?" ”
Now it is the season of green and yellow, and the two provinces of eastern Guangdong and Fengnan are the closest to the provinces of southern Xinjiang, especially eastern Guangdong, if there is no official grain, they can only collect people's grain.
When Qiu Yebai heard this, he looked at Mei Su and said, "Mei Siyun, is it possible that you plan to sue us now, do you plan to put grain in eastern Guangdong?" ”
Mei Su looked at Baili Chu, and a strange suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he still said: "Marshal, supervising the army, let's get back to the point." ”
Baili first saw Autumn Yebai rolling his eyes at him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he walked to her and stood still.
But although she didn't want to see Baili Chu at this time, she planned to prevent him from participating in the combat meeting, after all, this was his country.
This haunting fellow!
Qiu Yebai looked at Baili Chu coming over, gave him a cold look, and turned his back.
After a while, Baili Lingfeng said, "Since you are a member of the Autumn Supervision Army, then please stop." ”
When Baili Lingfeng heard this, he looked at the masked man with some suspicion for a while, only to feel that the other party's aura was mysterious but implied a terrifying might, not very like ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
People in the rivers and lakes?
Strategist?
Qiu Yebai suddenly said: "He is a military advisor I invited, a person in the rivers and lakes, and because of his different face, he doesn't want to show up." ”
"Who are you, sneaky and unsightly, and you make a lot of nonsense, you are not a spy, take it!" Li Mu snorted coldly.
Li Mu's face turned red instantly, and he glared at him viciously, only to find that a mysterious man wearing a mask and hood was being stopped not far away by the guards of Baili Lingfeng.
"If someone is not trying to kill people for their own selfish desires, how can they be suspected of rebellion?" A cool voice suddenly sounded not far away.
"Li Mu, don't be rude to the prison army!" Baili Lingfeng glanced at Li Mu coldly, Li Mu snorted coldly, and muttered: "If it weren't for a despicable and shameless framing of the marshal at the beginning, Long Wei would not have been forced to withdraw from Southern Xinjiang Province, and the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Xiangjun County would not be there." ”
"This kind of thing, our Highness still needs to be taught by the Prison Army?" Li Mu sneered first, and said: "But when those garrisons and Miao people in eastern Guangdong were about to collapse at the first touch, and they were robbed and burned by the Miao people, if it weren't for Long Wei, I am afraid that not only will there be a massacre in southern Xinjiang, but also in eastern Guangdong, and now the grain and grass in eastern Guangdong are enough to support such a war of attrition." ”
For example, it is said that before the arrival of the reinforcement army, the forward should also engage in a war of attrition with the other party, especially Long Wei, who was originally stationed in southern Xinjiang, if they can seize back a county and a county as a base, it will be beneficial for the follow-up army to carry out a full-scale operation after the arrival of the army.
Although she has not participated in any wars, as a sect leader who often witnesses the fighting of the rivers and lakes, she believes that some tactical common sense is interconnected with the war.
Qiu Yebai ignored Li Mu's provocation, only frowned slightly, and looked at the sand table: "Isn't Long Wei known as the first elite army of the empire?" ”
Baili Lingfeng also added: "Long Wei of the Eastern Guangdong Province has received my 800-mile urgent summons, and has already confronted the Miao army of the Southern Xinjiang Province, but the two sides are in a state of stalemate, and the scale of the battle is not large." ”
This Akiba Bai doesn't know anything, what army is in charge!
"Our vanguard already includes officers and soldiers who can be called along the way, so five days is already slow." Li Mu on the side was a little disdainful.
"Five days, so fast?" Autumn leaves were a little surprised, they had just left the capital for two days and two nights.
Baili Lingfeng didn't talk nonsense at all, and lit the sand table with the whip in his hand: "The speed of our march is faster than originally imagined, so in five days, our vanguard troops will enter the eastern province of Guangdong." ”
When discussing things during this kind of march, it is naturally better to be short and neat.
She chuckled secretly, then nodded to the two of them, handed the reins to Xiao Qi, walked over, and looked at Baili Lingfeng: "I don't know why the marshal summoned me here." ”
Qiu Yebai looked at the two of them, and suddenly remembered that on the day of her and Bailichu's wedding, the two of them almost broke down a street, fighting to the death, and now the two of them are standing together to discuss things It looks interesting.
When Baili Lingfeng heard this, he also looked over, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Qiu Jian Jun." ”
Mei Su was the first to notice her coming, and immediately raised her head and smiled at her: "Lord Qiu." ”
Baili Lingfeng led several generals and Mei Su around him to gather around the sand table and didn't know what to say, his expression was quite stern.
"Lord Overseer, please!" Several guards of the hundred miles of Lingfeng saw Autumn Leaves Bai riding a horse from a distance, and immediately got out of the way, revealing a simple bamboo platform and bamboo chair not far away, on which a sand table had been placed.
