Chapter 570: Orderly
Liu Xuanli was very clear about the situation of the soldiers, and after discussion, he first concentrated a batch of grain in the barracks and directly transported it with all his strength, which could at least ensure that the 100,000 soldiers and horses in front of him could hold out for a few days.
"Alas!" Liu Xuanli sighed secretly, he knew that if it dragged on, even the 200,000 soldiers and horses who had not crossed the sea would be short of food, and it was really hard to say what would happen at that time.
The gravity of the matter was beyond the purview of their mission, and all they could do now was to hope that their Majesty would come over immediately with food, food, and grass, or just agree to Li De's request.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty received the recital and read it for a long time, because there were too many words, and he had to think while reading it, there were people in the Three Expeditions to Goryeo who lacked ships and food.
The most important thing is that the supply of food and grass is insufficient, and if they hold on, they will all surrender without the enemy to fight them, and they will not starve to death.
After the mission informed Emperor Yang of Li De's conditions, it was confirmed that it was feasible under the study of the Ministry of War and other ministers, but Emperor Yang of Sui did not want to spend so much money, so he reduced part of the cost by a large part and used it to build a palace in Jiangling.
In fact, many people don't know that the construction is completed by the Ministry of Industry, but the purpose is to choose a suitable place for the emperor to build the imperial mausoleum.
These are not known, of course, since someone is there, the news will not necessarily leak out, so there will be arrangements before the construction of the mausoleum.
The construction of the palace is a very good rhetoric, in fact, the construction must be a mausoleum, this is not to say that which emperor wants to look forward to what, it must be.
Every emperor wants to be in peace forever after he dies, so these things are done in secret, and expenses are always a priority.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stayed in Jiangling for so long, the purpose may not be just for these things, but many things are being done by someone.
The Sui State was still able to take out the soldiers' salaries, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was unable to transport enough money from Chang'an and Luoyang to Jiangling during this period, let alone going to Liaoshui.
The road is far away, even if it arrives, I am afraid that 100,000 soldiers and horses will be buried with it, compared to this, it is better to facilitate this transaction, anyway, there is no shortage of soldiers.
Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it again and again, and after discussing it with several confidants, he wrote an edict and asked people to hand it over to the Liaoshui mission.
A few days were in a hurry, and the people of the mission were relieved when they saw the emperor's edict, they all sweated for 100,000 soldiers, and if His Majesty insisted on going his own way, they could only watch the soldiers go and give away their lives.
Lu Fulin and Liu Xuanli immediately found Li De and told the matter.
"Governor, Your Majesty means to agree to exchange people with you, but the amount of grain will be fifty percent more." Lu Fulin said directly.
Li De thought about it, isn't fifty percent of the amount of one and a half months exchanged for each person, what's the problem with this.
"Yes."
Li De agreed simply, so that the two people of the mission thought that they were going to negotiate, but they didn't expect it to be so crisp, so that the two of them reacted for a while.
"Oh, then when are we going to start, we really need this grain and grass urgently." Liu Xuanli said anxiously.
"Since there is an edict from the emperor, then there is no need to pay so much attention, you say that we will transport as many people as you say you want to exchange." Li De said very happily.
The two discussed, if they wanted to maintain 100,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they had to give up 100,000 people in exchange for the rest of the soldiers and horses, would it be too cheap for one person to be worth a month's food.
In fact, there is a problem that is easy to ignore, on the one hand, 300,000 soldiers and horses are going to eat, if they really use people in exchange, there is no evidence whether the court has said anything about the handover of documents.
Let 100,000 people go to the military city, and it is not their business to stay with these people next, Emperor Yang of Sui can agree to this because he thinks that these people have families and jobs, and even if they don't recruit these people back, sooner or later they will have to go home.
Besides, 100,000 people don't need to eat, and if they continue to stay in their barracks, they will not only not be able to help, but also consume food, and the ministers finally facilitated this deal under the brains of the ministers.
The people of the mission understood the situation and knew that the current situation was urgent, and food had become their final thing, so they did not hesitate to directly deploy 100,000 soldiers and horses to the military city, and many people felt inexplicable.
After receiving the edict from Emperor Yang of Sui, Laihu'er asked people to pick out those who were slightly older, those with insufficient combat effectiveness, and 100,000 people asked them to take off their armor and put down their weapons, in fact, these things are basically their own things.
But an order is an order, so when these people came, not only did they not have armor and weapons, but they also came hungry, and now their barracks have limited food, so many people are restricted from food distribution.
Anyway, they don't have to fight, three meals directly turn into one gruel, and this state has been going on for a long time, so the faces of the fighters don't look very good.
After 100,000 people arrived in the city, they brokered a deal in the presence of the mission, and the vanguard's convoy left the city in front of everyone, and the vast cartload of food made it impossible for these people to leave their eyes.
"Governor, the people have been brought, and we don't care about the next arrangements." The two representatives of the mission left after handing over.
Li De stood in front of these people with the vanguards, and suddenly there was an aura, and the 100,000 people did not make any other sound except the sound of breathing.
"Come on, come over!" Li De directly asked the prepared vanguard soldiers to line up and disperse, and directly entered the ranks of these people in a matrix shape.
There will be a vanguard for every few people, and then, as soon as Li De waved his hand, the flag-bearer who had been prepared long ago raised the big flag and waved it a few times, these vanguard soldiers who had just formed a matrix shouted in unison, and directly said the matter of exchanging heads for food.
Only then did 100,000 people know that they were sold by the imperial court, and many people wanted to oppose it, just when they were emotional, Li De waved his hand again.
Again, the flag bearer waved the flag.
The vanguard man immediately said: "In the city of soldiers, there is food to eat, and you can eat enough." ”
After repeating it several times, it may not be the shouting that attracts people's attention, but the smell of rice in the distance, and they have eaten gruel for so long, and if they persist for a few days, they will probably become beggars who have no last meal.
Suddenly, all the emotional dissatisfaction was attracted by the smell of rice, and then the pioneers said in unison: "Line up to eat, follow the rules." ”
Then there were teams of people who were arranged to eat, and there were a lot of them in the food city, the same porridge but with broth, and they hadn't eaten enough for a long time, but suddenly they couldn't eat too much.
The catering service for 100,000 people is in good order under the drive of the vanguards.
