Chapter Forty-Eight: Grain and Grass First

"To the North?" Shen Yanjiao repeated in surprise, why did Wei Shenglian tell her about this so suddenly, but there should be some reason!

Wei Shenglian nodded, and told Shen Yanjiao everything that happened in the early court, after Shen Yanjiao heard what happened to her father and Liang Feng's brother, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled into two peaks, she was worried about the safety of her father and Liang Feng's brother, and at the same time she secretly snorted in her heart, the current emperor does not distinguish between right and wrong, does not know the reason, how can the matter of the march be bargained like child's play?

"When are you leaving?" Shen Yanjiao asked, neither of them realized that after a wedding, they were just strangers to each other, but at this time, they were talking naturally like an old husband and wife, without the slightest embarrassment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Five days later, three days later, I'm going to go back to the door with you, have you forgotten?" Wei Shenglian said, while motioning for Shen Yanjiao to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and pushed the pastries on the table in front of her.

Shen Yanjiao was still thinking about things in her mind, while unconsciously following Wei Shenglian's instructions to sit down and take the tea, and even naturally picked up the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, because it was noon, she also felt a little hungry at this time.

After the two pastries were eaten, Shen Yanjiao came back to her senses, she took out a handkerchief with a red face and wiped the stains on her hands, and then said to Wei Shenglian: "Prince, but... Before he finished speaking, the prince waved his hand and said, "In the future, at home, just call me husband." Under the mask that Shen Yanjiao couldn't see, Wei Shenglian secretly evoked a playful smile.

Shen Yanjiao's face turned red, but she nodded without pretentiousness, and continued: "Husband... Husband, can you travel in advance? I'm worried that the rest of the grain and grass that my father and others have now won't last until the day the military rations arrive! The anxiety on her face was indeed not the slightest pretentious, Shen Yanjiao's expression was sincere, because she was really worried about her relatives and people in the frontier.

The brilliance in Weishenglian's eyes flowed, Shen Yanjiao. is really different from other women, she is calm and calm, not impatient or impatient, and she does not pretend to be pretentious at all, these words have given her a new understanding of Shen Yanjiao and a new view.

"Three days later, it will be your return gift, according to the rules, we have to go back, if it is early, I am afraid that we will not be able to go back." Wei Shenglian said to Shen Yanjiao seriously, because people attach great importance to these rules and customs, if someone oversteps the rules or ignores the customs, it will attract criticism, and Shen Yanjiao may not know these things very well, he doesn't want his woman to be made fun of, so he has to confirm it again and again.

Shen Yanjiao saw Wei Shenglian's reminder again, and understood what he meant, Shen Yanjiao shook her head and said: "Human life is at stake, if you go a day late, I am afraid that things will be more variable, compared to it, how can these red tapes be so important?" If I can prepare tomorrow, I think I can leave the day after tomorrow. “

Wei Shenglian pondered for a moment and nodded, he understood Shen Yanjiao's heart that was close to her relatives, the day after tomorrow... It is enough for him and the grain and grass to be ready, this time the emperor allocated 3,000 elite soldiers all the way to the Asian Games grain and grass and the comfort of protecting the micro-lotus, and there is no problem with one more Shen Yanjiao.

Seeing that Wei Shenglian agreed, Shen Yanjiao hurriedly retired, this time it was not so simple to go to the northern Xinjiang, she knew that Wei Shenglian took into account her mood, so she took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to go together, knowing that his move would definitely be laughed at in the eyes of others, and he would definitely be laughed at His newlywed Yan'er was reluctant to let go of Mei Jiaoniang, so he took her all the way with the army, Shen Yanjiao knew it in her heart, she knew Wei Shenglian's intentions, thinking, the corners of her mouth also overflowed with a smile, this husband who appeared inexplicably looked very good!

Back in the room, Shen Yanjiao summoned Mi Lu and the others to order them one by one, so that after they joined Mingqiao and others, they would transfer funds from the industry under her name as much as possible to purchase grain in the surrounding towns, and then immediately transport it to Northern Xinjiang in batches. If you act early, your father will have more hope, compared with a large number of military rations, the speed of sending small batches of grain to the frontier will be much faster, because there are few, and the targets on the road are also small, and it will not attract the attention of those who care.

Shen Yanjiao knew that the only 200,000 stone of grain allocated by the emperor was not enough to do anything! If you can't think of a solution before this batch of military rations is eaten, then I'm afraid that everyone will have to suffer next! Expecting the emperor to allocate grain and grass again? Don't dream big, don't let the cows eat grass, and want the cattle to plow the land, the emperor has done less.

At least, with his own actions, there will be fewer accidents! This batch of military grain, grain and grass will be transported to northern Xinjiang, and it will take at least ten days to march at full speed all the way, ten days, plus the time wasted before, I don't know how long my father can last.

Looking at the direction of the north, Shen Yanjiao's eyes were full of worry, she seemed to see the anxious appearance of her relatives in the border who were isolated and helpless, before leaving, she had told Brother Liang Feng that she must come back intact, since the little brother promised her nothing that could not be done, I hope that this time he will also save the day, and wait for her to send support safely!

。。。

"General, our food and grass are already seriously insufficient, and the brothers haven't had a full meal for three days, and if this continues, it will be a problem for us to even survive, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in daily training!" A lieutenant reported to him from Shen Hong's tent, but Shen Hong frowned and did not speak.

How could he not be clear about these things?

When the army retreated to Shentang Pass, he had already sent the letter for help back to Beijing for eight hundred miles and handed it over to Liang Yuan, now ten days have passed, their food stock has not been much left, and the reply from Jingzhong has not arrived for a long time, he can only shrink his clothes and diet with the army, three meals a day are clear porridge and water, coupled with non-stop training and occasionally have to deal with the enemy army that attacks them, after a few days, they are all hungry and sluggish, their faces are yellow and thin, even Shen Hong and Liang Feng are also dish. Significant malnutrition.

Not to mention people, even the war horses are hungry and skinny, and some of them can't stand up.

There are less than 100 loads of military rations left, and there are almost 200,000 people in one army.

His face was gloomy, Shen Hong's eyes were full of sorrow, the soldiers were leading the troops outside, there was no food, no grass, there was no way to advance, there was no way to retreat, could it be that he Shen Hong's lifelong ambition was so aggrieved to bury his bones here? Your Majesty, why haven't you sent reinforcements yet!!

Shen Hong slammed his fist into the table on the ground, and it was smashed in half.

There is no way, now that he is Jiang Lang's talent, he can't think of any solution anymore, but his face is full of defeat.

At this time, Liang Feng, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back, only to see him striding into Shen Hong's camp with excitement on his face, and said with a loud smile: "Hahaha! Teacher, we've got reinforcements here! I have just received an urgent report from the prince, he has taken the crown princess and 200,000 stone of military rations to the north five days ago, plus the day and night, it will arrive in a few days! “

Is it only 200,000 stones? Shen Hong's face was gloomy, why did the prince come over to deliver grain and grass in person? And that's just that, there are 200,000 troops here! What can be done with this little food? Besides, even if two million or twenty million stone of grain were sent, I am afraid that it would be useless, because their food could only last for another day, and after one day, the city would probably not be able to hold on any longer!

Hearing the news brought by Liang Feng, Shen Hong not only did not have a trace of excitement, but his face became even more defeated.

If the city is broken, what is the use of more food and grass?

He looked at Liang Feng following him through the vicissitudes of life, and a heavy remorse flashed in his heart, he was sorry for his old friend, sorry for Liang Feng, if he hadn't brought him into the army, maybe today he wouldn't have lost his young life in this desolate place because of himself! Shen Hong looked at Liang Feng with a full apology in his eyes, and he just wanted to open his mouth to find an excuse for Liang Feng to return to Beijing first, away from this dead and silent place, but saw Liang Feng speak: "Teacher, now that the support has arrived, the situation here will also be stabilized, and the apprentice implores Enshi to return to Beijing first, inform the emperor of the situation here, and strive to allocate more grain and grass support!" “

Shen Hong saw that Liang Feng and himself were in the same mind, and for this reason, he also found such a lame reason, he shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, and Shen Hong said firmly: "No, for the teacher, I understand your thoughts, but as a general, how can I leave my army and apprentices here to die, and choose to be a deserter and return to Beijing alone?" Then how can I have the face to face the expectations of the saints, how to face my dear friend, your father, and how to face the people of the world?! Don't mention this again! “

"But..." Before Liang Feng could say anything more, he was interrupted by a soldier who came to report, only to see him running all the way, and he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he hurriedly said: "Report... Report General! There is food and grass to support the arrival of the barracks! “

"What ?!!" Shen Hong and Liang Feng stood up in surprise and asked at the same time, with an unbelievable expression on their faces, according to the news sent by the prince urgently, no matter how fast the military rations were, they would not arrive until the day after tomorrow, why did they arrive so quickly?

The soldier said: "General, it is really the grain and grass that has arrived, but not much, but the person who sent the grain and grass said that there are many batches of grain and grass arriving one after another behind them, if what he said is true, then we will really be saved this time!" “

Shen Hong's eyes lit up, and the light of hope was growing wildly, and he said excitedly to the soldiers; 'Quick! Take me to the man! “
