Chapter 563
Zhou Li also stood up in shock, "Let me ask you, how long will the grain and grass sent by the Shangguan family last?" ā
The soldier thought for a while, "It can only be used for half a month, and after half a month, we will have nothing, or we can delay it for another half a month, but from now on, we must save a little, because every time we send grain and grass, the official family will send a cart of grain, grass, vegetables, dried meat and other things, and we will eat these things according to our calculations, and we can last for many days." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut the soldiers can't fight without food, so even if they eat it all, they can only hold out for a month, which is the limit. ā
"Does the general know about this?"
"I already know."
"Dad, let's go to the Lord to discuss the tent, this is to serve all our father and son, there is only one room left in the house, the old and the weak, the young, I am worried that if we don't take effective action, Mingzhu will not last long, I don't know what kind of trouble there will be at home." Zhou Li closed his eyes fiercely and said in an unusually heavy tone.
King Rong thought of the old and young in the family, and there was only one pearl that could do things, and it was too unreliable to rely on the sympathy of others at critical moments.
"Let's go." King Rong's whole clothes and face are as dark as ink, don't let Lao Tzu return to Beijing smoothly, and when I go back, I won't put you in a skin, Lao Tzu has your surname.
Entering the main tent, Shangguan Hao was discussing things for these lieutenant generals, Zhou Li and King Rong went in one after another, and after saluting, they asked: "General, if the food is not enough, should we send someone back quickly?" ā
"Go back, where are you going?" Shangguan Hao smiled mockingly.
"Go back and raise grain and grass, if you can't rely on the court, you can also rely on us to raise it ourselves." Zhou Li asked inexplicably.
"There's no need to go back, I also hid a batch of grain and grass in the city for backup, when Mingzhu sent two people from the inspection institute to come over to investigate the news, by the way, I secretly sent a batch of grain over just in case, the food is useless, I have already asked people to open it." But you still have to send someone back, we want to lure the snake out of the hole, and I want to see who is going to kill us. Shangguan Hao's back molars creaked.
"Then do you want to tell Mingzhu the truth?" Zhou Li asked what his father-in-law meant.
"If you don't tell her, the more anxious you are, the better, and it's in our favor. This time we're going to chop a piece of his flesh down. Shangguan Hao slammed the table violently.
Zhou Li was silent for a while, and did not nod immediately, obviously disagreeing with this idea, putting all the pressure on Mingzhu and the old man, which was unfair, and he was unwilling in his heart.
But the lord will be Shangguan Hao, and he cannot openly disobey the general's orders, so he can only express his meaning with silence.
Shangguan Hao sighed, "I know you feel sorry for Mingzhu, and I feel sorry too, but my daughter is not as fragile as you think, this battle has reached the most critical time, and we can't afford to lose!" ā
"Brother Li, obey orders." King Rong roared.
Zhou Li responded with a calm face, flicked his sleeves and left.
"General, are you sure it's okay? Mingzhu is young after all, and he still has to worry about you doing so much for us, it's really not easy! A lieutenant couldn't help but speak.
Shangguan Hao glared and roared, "In addition to being someone else's son and father, I am also the boss, and I want to bring other people's fathers and sons home with me!" ā
The lieutenant generals all bowed their heads and remained silent, as the commander, not only other people's sons and fathers, but also more people's life and death, he wants to bring all the soldiers home, they are also other people's fathers and sons!
"Let's go down and execute." Shangguan Hao waved his hand tiredly.
"Yes." The lieutenants responded in unison, and immediately arranged a plan to lure the enemy.
Only King Rong and Shangguan Hao were left in the tent, and the atmosphere was a little calm.
"Brother Li is fine, you can help me persuade you." Shangguan Hao said with his eyes closed.
"It's okay, that kid will figure it out, it's just that he's not feeling comfortable, he's homesick." King Rong said with a wave of his hand.
"Is Mingzhu injured, are you okay?" Shangguan Hao is also worried about his family and homesick, but he is the only one who can't say it.
"It's okay, the steward said that he has healed, and it is a blessing that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones. This child has spirituality, and one-third of the king's hands were cut off by the two of them in conspiracy, so this time we will not be wronged to take this revenge. King Rong talked about the enemy, and his mood was inexplicably better.
"King Duan deceived people too much, this revenge is not a gentleman, he has repeatedly killed my family, I must kill him!" Shangguan Hao gritted his teeth and said.
"This crime must be condemned to death, and he must not be allowed to run away again." King Rong also opened his mouth hatefully.
Although Mingzhu didn't tell them, it is impossible for Shangguan Hao's ability to be ignorant of the movements in the capital, otherwise he would have been sold a long time ago, how could he still be in today's position.
Although her heartache and daughter suffered a great sin, she was beyond her reach, so she could only find a place to find her way from elsewhere.
Mingzhu got the news at home and learned about the grain and grass, so the old man went into the palace to cry overnight.
The next day, the emperor was furious, and Mingzhu made up as the princess of the county, beating the drum and crying in the court.
"Your Majesty, you want to be the master of my father, brother and husband, what kind of person is this! The heart is so vicious, this is the life of my family, we are loyal to the country but end up being cooked by lackeys, we don't see what we do! Woooooo "Mingzhu wept and wept, and the sorrow and despair of grief made the smell sad, and the listener wept.
Even many generals secretly wiped their tears and stood up to denounce the officials who cheated for losing their conscience.
Many upright civil officials also stood up and scolded angrily, this is to destroy the foundation of the Great Zhou!
The emperor looked at the pearl that couldn't cry below, and the old marquis who wiped his tears silently, he was also distressed and angry.
"Uncle, get up quickly, it's me who is blind and see the wrong person, I have already been a celebrity, and I quickly sent grain and grass to the northwest, you can rest assured that this matter will be thoroughly investigated to the end, Mingzhu don't cry, Uncle Huang will definitely give you an explanation, help your grandfather down, your grandfather can't be happy and sad when he's old, don't cry."
"Thank you Uncle Huang, you must hurry up and send grain and grass, the soldiers at the border are still fighting for us!" Mingzhu wiped her tears and helped her grandfather down.
After crying, you still have to do the right thing, although the complaint is over, but Mingzhu still has to raise her own grain and grass, and before she can gather everyone, many families of military generals and civil officials with a sense of justice came to her by themselves, and sent a lot of grain, grass and cotton clothes to ask her to send them to the border on their behalf.
They are also not worried about some people in the court, the military general's family sent the most, after all, many of their sons and husbands are also fighting in the northwest, isn't this food running out of chokes the neck, naturally they are in a hurry.
Mingzhu ran up and down, and raised some good grain and grass, this time sending people from the inspection institute and soldiers seconded to the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to escort the grain and grass to the northwest. (To be continued.) )
