Chapter 81: Food in the Wasteland

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin came together, and they were able to take out a piece of food, although they were very grateful in their hearts, but just like this, it was not enough for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou to eat a meal.

The grain is in case of emergency, and it is conservatively estimated that the grain in Liangzhou City can be eaten for three days.

The three-day battle can't be delayed for too long, once Li Daliang can't hold on, Wei Chigong can be regarded as a buffer.

The eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiang is willing to give out ten stones." ”

"Your Majesty, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, is willing to give ten stones."

"Your Majesty, Du Zhongshu Province is willing to give ten stones."

……

Listening to the report, the scattered pieces are enough to make up more than 200 stones.

But it didn't last long, Li Shimin was planning in his heart, and these old ministers who followed him all the way were really moved to stand up at this moment.

Li Er knew in his heart that if he received these grains, he would owe more favors.

These people are all old subordinates who broke out with them when the world was in turmoil.

Friendship between a monarch and a brother is two different things.

"I understand your intentions, and I'll figure it out for myself." Li Shimin sighed and said, even if there are two hundred stones, it can only solve the urgent need slightly.

More food is still needed, at least 500 to 1,000 stone.

If you add Wei Chigong's 30,000 soldiers and horses, and wait for the army to arrive in Liangzhou, then there may be as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

This makes the burden even greater.

Li Shimin patted the case and said, "If this battle can be won, I will definitely take down the entire Tuyuhun!" ”

As long as the court is given another month, the grain harvest will be available after a month.

It was precisely this month's time that Tuyuhun calculated very accurately.

It was the most difficult month in the DPRK.

Look at Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong again, their own lives are not good, and the heirs in and outside the palace are forgotten.

These brothers, who were born and died together back then, also starved with themselves.

Li Shimin held his forehead, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

Until the last resort, you can't ask for the favor of the courtier.

Li Shimin said weakly: "You guys stand down and call Fang Xuanling." ”

Outside the gate of Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui stood together, worried about the war in Liangzhou, and discussed how to do this time.

At the moment, grain and grass are an urgent need.

Wei Zheng said: "Even if the old man eats less than one bite of food a day, he doesn't want His Majesty to make concessions to the family in exchange for a little food. ”

Du Ruhui sighed, "They are just waiting for His Majesty to give in, how kind do you think the family is." ”

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "Once this step is retreated, it may be retreated again and again." ”

However, Fang Xuanling remembered what Li Zheng once said, can the family with the fifth surname really be able to be beautiful for so long.

The eunuch in the palace came to Zhongshu Province and said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang, Your Majesty has summoned you." ”

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Your Majesty." ”

Leaving Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling followed this eunuch all the way to the Ganlu Palace.

Facing Li Shimin, who had a sad face, Fang Xuanling opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin seemed to have just come back to his senses, sat upright, and motioned to the palace maid to give Fang Xuanling a stool to sit on.

After Fang Xuanling sat down, he asked, "Your Majesty has made a decision on the grain matter?" ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "What does Fang Xiang think he should do?" ”

Fang Xuanling bowed down and said, "The minister thinks that Your Majesty can't retreat to the family. ”

It was quiet in the Ganlu Hall, and Li Shimin could hear his own breathing.

Thinking about it in my heart, yes, I shouldn't regress to the five surnames.

The five surnames are just waiting for a time when I bow to them.

Wait for this opportunity to take advantage of the fire.

In order to get these grains that can solve the urgent need, the other party will definitely open his mouth.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what Li Zheng said to us at the beginning. ”

Li Shimin recalled the scenes when he concealed his identity and talked to Li Zheng.

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "At the beginning, Li Zheng said that there would be a flood, and it really happened, Li Zheng said that Tuyuhun harbored evil intentions, and now Tuyuhun has also begun to attack Liangzhou, and Li Zheng rejected the five surnames because he was afraid of death......"

Li Shimin's face turned gloomy, "What do you mean?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "At first, the minister thought about Li Zheng's non-acceptance of the five surnames for a long time and didn't understand, Li Zheng could refuse the five surnames for what, if Li Zheng could really calculate anything, he could calculate that there was heavy rain in the sky." ”

"If you can calculate that Tuyuhun is harboring evil intentions, he can also calculate the affairs of the two Turkic khans."

"Your Majesty asked Li Zheng at the beginning, what should the five surnames do when they invite him? Remember what Li Zheng said? ”

Li Shimin's gloomy face seemed to understand what Fang Xuanling meant, and the ability of the prophet has always been very mysterious.

Even a character like Yuan Tiangang may not be sure.

Li Zheng could expect it three times in a row, and the last time the five surnames invited Li Zheng, he might also expect it.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to the eunuch beside him: "Call Yuan Tiangang to me." ”

More than half an hour later, Yuan Tiangang came to the Ganlu Palace, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "I want to know what the fate of the five surnames is?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and was quiet for a long time.

Li Shimin asked again: "Can you calculate it?" ”

After being quiet for a while, Yuan Tiangang spoke: "Your Majesty, the five surnames will not be shaken for a hundred years. ”

"Is Daoist Yuan accurate?"

The last heavy rain almost caused a catastrophe, but Yuan Tiangang didn't calculate it.

"Your Majesty, Poor Dao can only spy on one or two heavenly opportunities."

Li Shimin put away his mind, the five surnames could not be shaken for a hundred years, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "You retreat." ”

"Poor road retirement."

After Yuan Tiangang left, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, "Did you say that Li Zheng really grew food in the wasteland?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "It is rumored that it is indeed planted, but some people say that Li Zheng is not growing food at all. ”

Li Lizhi came to the Ganlu Hall with a food box, took a look at the situation inside, and saw that Fang Xuanling was discussing with his father here, and it was not good to go in now.

Li Shimin noticed Li Lizhen, who was standing outside the hall, and said, "Come in." ”

Only then did Li Lizhi walk into the Ganlu Hall and carry a food box and said, "Father, the imperial brother asked someone to bring some food. ”

Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain, I am here to worry about state affairs here, and Qingque, a bastard boy, actually knows how to eat.

watched Li Lizhi put the food box in front of him, and after opening it, he became more and more puzzled, "What is this?" ”

Li Lizhi picked up a popcorn and put it in her mouth to eat it and said, "This is called popcorn." ”

"Popcorn ......"

Li Shimin suspiciously picked up a popcorn the size of a fingernail.

Li Lizhi explained: "The person who sent it said that this is the grain that Li is growing in the wasteland. ”
