Chapter 127: Food Shortage

"Thank you, sir!"

"The little one is my family, thank you, Mr. Xiao, but there will be a dispatch in the future, please ask the adults to order!"

Xiao He walked out of the flower hall, and before he could go far, he was stopped by a young man in green clothes.

"This matter, even if your general asks for it. This official will also speak. ”

"The lord of the Black Mountain Mansion has indeed made a great contribution to Zhibei County, otherwise, even if this official speaks, Lord Situ will not carry out the edict!"

Xiao He looked at the flattering little guy with a flattering face, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, today's speech was in response to Li Ling's request.

Li Ling is the thirteenth grandson of Li Shehu, and he got the true biography of Li Shehu in a dream, and has a close relationship with Li Shehu, which can be said to be both glory and loss, and it is precisely because of this that Li Ling is particularly concerned about Li Shehu's affairs.

Although his status in the army is not as good as Yang Shou, not as good as Han Xin, and even as good as Xue Li and Fan Gou'er, after all, he is also one of the four former captains, and he is in charge of the Vermilion Bird Camp alone, and he has a deep foundation, which is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

It is precisely for this reason that even Xiao He has to give him some face.

"Your Excellency!"

"When my general returns from the outer lands, he will definitely come to the door to thank him. ”

Seeing Xiao He's indifferent face, the little guy in Tsing Yi couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart, but he still hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Don't be too polite!"

"As the official said, even if he doesn't ask, the official will speak. ”

"After all, the lord of the Black Mountain Mansion really has a great contribution to Zhibei County, even if he is rewarded, he should be rewarded!"

Xiao He said without any credit.

However, from beginning to end, the little guy was unusually respectful to Xiao He.

Xiao He could be so humble, but he didn't dare to really think so.

After all, Xiao He's influence in Zhibei County is obvious to all, and many people have begged Xiao He's subordinates to ask him to come forward to mediate with the Situ Punishment Department.

I have to say that Xiao He is very good at judging the situation, and he is good at making speeches. There are few things that everyone entrusts.

Over time, everyone likes to ask Xiao He for help.

Some people in the outside world even call Xiao He Mr. Two.

。。。

Situ Xing looked at Xiao He's departing back and didn't look back for a long time.

The moment Xiao He spoke today, he understood the meaning and was definitely entrusted by others.

By whom?

It's been around for a long time.

The leader of the Suzaku Battalion, Li Ling!

For Li Ling, Situ Xing's evaluation of him is a mediocre talent!

That's right!

The ability in all aspects is not very outstanding, and it is not comparable to Han Xin Yang Shou in terms of strategy, and it is not comparable to Fan Gou'er in terms of force. However, his abilities are very balanced.

He also got the inheritance of the ancestor Li Shehu, although he did not have the qualifications to achieve peerlessness, but he could become a first-class general with careful training.

Situ has always put him in charge of the Suzaku Camp.

Although it is not as important as Han Xin and others, the location is also crucial.

In this expedition to the outer regions, the Vermilion Bird Battalion served as a pioneer, opened a road in the mountains, crossed the river and built bridges, and made a lot of contributions.

It is precisely for this reason that when Xiao He proposed to entitle Li Shehu, he did not object.

However, today's events also sounded a wake-up call for him.

The current Zhibei County is no longer the Zhibei County of the past.

The relationships inside are even more complicated, countless people, countless things, so that he has to weigh the pros and cons...

Li Ling is in charge of the Vermilion Bird Camp, and he is in a high position!

Li Shehu was promoted to the rank of prince of the palace, and he was in charge of the eight-hundred-mile divine domain, and he was also a prince!

If two join forces...

Thinking of a certain possibility, Si Tuxing's eyes couldn't help but feel cold, and his heart, which was originally a little hesitant, suddenly became hard.

。。。。

Just when Situ was thinking about how to deal with the intricate relationships in the territory, Liu Ji's face turned pale, and his eyes looked in the direction of Nanming in fear.

Nanming's grain and grass were burned by a fire, and he had already known about it.

However, in order to stabilize the morale of the military, this matter has always been in a state of top secret, and no one can disclose it privately without an order.

"Your Excellency!"

"Withdraw your troops!"

Cheng Niu'er, who was wearing a helmet and had a dark complexion, glanced at Liu Ji, who was pale, and said helplessly.

"Degree, this old horseman!"

"He was not thin in the past!"

"He actually took refuge in Zhibei County and burned my millions of military rations!"

"Don't let this official catch him, otherwise he will definitely be cut by a thousand cuts!"

Liu Ji glanced at Cheng Niu'er, his face suddenly became gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and said viciously,

"Withdraw!"

"Where to go?"

"Not to mention the long march of the army, it has long been exhausted. ”

"Even if we are willing to evacuate, how can the defenders of Montenegro County let me evacuate so easily!"

"Besides, the army has been besieging the city for some time, and the Montenegrin defenders have lost more than half of them, so it is really unwilling to evacuate like this!"

"Zhibei County is empty of troops now!"

"As long as we break through Montenegro, the entire Zhibei will have no place to defend... ”

"At that time, even if Situ has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, he will be powerless!"

Liu Ji's eyes flickered, and he said unwillingly.

"But my lord!"

"The grain and grass in our army can only last for a few days, and if we don't evacuate as soon as possible, I'm afraid we won't be able to support Beijun!"

Cheng Niu'er looked at Liu Ji with a tangled face, and said worriedly.

"How much grain and grass is left in the army?"

Liu Ji's eyes flickered, and he asked with a tangled face.

"Back to my lord!"

"There is not much food and grass in the army, it can last for three days at most!"

Cheng Niu'er saw that Liu Ji had no idea of withdrawing his troops, and said worriedly.

"Cut rations starting today!"

"This official wants to support it for ten days!"

"Can you do it?"

Listening to Liu Ji's words, Cheng Niuer's eyes couldn't help but stagnate. The three-day military rations, to support the ten-day military rations, means that the military rations must be cut.

Many people will not have enough to eat. Some people will be negative and even mutinied.

The test of the officer is very difficult!

Thinking of this, Cheng Niu'er said without hesitation: "My lord!"

"In this way, I am afraid that there will be changes in the army!"

"And it will damage the reputation of adults!"

"Change!"

"What can happen, do they dare to rebel?"

Listening to Cheng Niu'er's hesitant words, Liu Ji's eyes couldn't help but become cold, and there was a murderous aura lingering on his body.

"Your Excellency!"

"No military rations!"

"I'm afraid there will be a mutiny in the camp!"

Cheng Niu'er looked at the murderous Liu Ji, and his face couldn't help but stagnate, but although he was scared in his heart, he still said truthfully.

"Let the people of the Judge Advocate General's Department keep their eyes open!"

"Whoever gathers a crowd to mutiny, there will be no forgiveness!"

"I don't believe it, they really aren't afraid of steel knives!"

Hearing Cheng Niu'er's words, Liu Ji's eyes couldn't help shrinking, his teeth clenched, and he said viciously.

"This!"

Cheng Niu'er didn't expect Liu Ji to plan to kill chickens and monkeys, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and his eyes were a little more unbearable.
