Chapter 319: Speculation

"Seven princes, let Lao Chen have one more mouth." Just as Xiao Heng walked to the side of the carriage, General Liu suddenly spoke, successfully stopping Xiao Heng's footsteps in the carriage.

"General Liu, please speak." Xiao Heng turned around and looked at General Liu.

"The old minister reminded the Seven Princes that the people take food as the sky. The work that the Seven Princes have to do is the most important thing. General Liu bent down to Xiao Heng.

"Got it, thank you General Liu for reminding me." Xiao Heng hooked his lips and understood what General Liu meant.

"Let's go." Xiao Heng got into the carriage and spit out a word gently, and as soon as the coachman waved his whip, the horse began to walk towards another place.

General Liu looked at Xiao Heng's departing carriage, with an unknown smile on his face, General Liu waved his sleeves and turned to enter the mansion.

And Xiao Heng sat in the carriage with a solemn face.

The people take food as the sky, this sentence is really good, General Liu's reminder is really in place.

If there is no food or grass...... How long can the Northern Army last?

This thing...... What you do is what you have to do, and the key is how to do it.

Duan Bailan...... You're not far from death.

In the end, Liu Nianru will still be mine, and when that time comes, I want you to kneel down and beg me.

A vicious look flashed on Xiao Heng's face, there were some things he had already decided.

In fact, the most critical part of this is because the emperor asked him to come to General Liu, so this shows that these two people are a united front.

So...... There is no need to be afraid to do this by yourself, there are two powerful people on your side, and one is the Son of Heaven, what is there to be afraid of?

……

Frontier City.

"Ru'er, I have a hunch that something is going to happen." Duan Bailan frowned.

"What?"

"Grain and grass. Now that we have joined the army, the need is self-evident. Next, it is estimated that it is time for the imperial court to shoot the grain and grass. However, things certainly won't go so smoothly. "At the beginning, it was Wang Xun who led the army of the Northern Army and many grains and grasses to move forward, but now that it has been integrated, the situation is not so optimistic.

Due to some reasons for the march on the road, Wang Xun did not come with as much grain and grass as expected at the time, and it was only enough for them to support them for half a month at most.

If the imperial court really sends food on time, then there is no need to worry about this problem.

But...... I'm afraid, just because he wants to kill him, the emperor cut off the grain and grass for the northern army.

Judging from the current situation, there is still a war with the barbarians, and the situation in the barbarian court has gradually stabilized, and next, they will definitely shift their focus to fighting.

It is worth mentioning that the barbarian blacksmiths are not all useless.

Recently, a lot of weapons have been made. Therefore, weapons may still be an advantage for the Northern Army, but it can no longer rely on this advantage to win.

This is undoubtedly bad news for the Northern Army.

There is no food and grass, and they have to face the attack of the barbarians.

"I hope I'm thinking too much." Duan Bailan let out a long sigh, as a expedition to the north

The leader of the army, he must be thorough, take into account all the worst-case scenarios, and make a strategy to deal with them.

"Isn't Yaocheng ours?" Liu Nianru raised her eyebrows and looked at Duan Bailan.

"You mean ......?" Duan Bailan looked at Liu Nianru.

"Since Yaocheng is already our people, and that place is rich, there will definitely be surplus grain reserves, and I can go and escort grain and grass." Liu Nianru said.

Duan Bailan pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.

"Don't worry so much, from here to Yaocheng is already a lot that we have taken down, and there will be no danger." Liu Nianru knew what Duan Bailan was worried about, but there were some things she had to do.

"And if your idea is true, we may not be able to go back then." Liu Nianru said.

"That's right." Duan Bailan sighed, "What I can think of, why can't he think of it?" "This he's obviously referring to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Don't be so pessimistic, besides, your thoughts may not be true, no matter how you say it, it's his country, if you betray us to the enemy, then isn't this equivalent to paying for your own territory?" Liu Nianru comforted Duan Bailan, feeling that Duan Bailan was just thinking too much, "And even if they really want to do that, they have to think about whether the people of Da'an agree or not." ”

"Okay." Duan Bailan finally smiled.

"Then you should be careful all the way." Duan Bailan said to Liu Nianru.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me, I'll pick a few people to come with me later." Liu Nianru said.

……

Liu Nianru returned to the school field, and the Northern Army was still training, and they were tireless.

Liu Nianru picked people to form a team of nearly fifty people, and she was generous when she picked people, without any intention of concealing it. Because you can't hide it.

So...... All this was also seen by Gu Huan, and it was obvious that the emperor would know the news in a while.

After dinner in the afternoon, Liu Nianru gathered the fifty people she had selected and told them what she was going to do.

"Miss Liu, don't we still have grain and grass, why do we want to transport grain and grass?" A puzzled question from the Northern Expeditionary Army.

This may be the doubt in the hearts of many Northern Expeditionary Army. One person asked, and someone immediately chimed in.

"Even if we don't have enough grain and grass, won't the imperial court still send people to send us grain and grass?"

"Yes, yes, why should we go to Yaocheng to get grain and grass?"

"Isn't it...... We were abandoned by the imperial court? ”

When the last sentence was spoken, the scene was silent, and when one person spoke again, they couldn't accept the situation.

Because......

The Northern Army came to fight for the people and for Da'an, but now, you have to tell them that they are abandoned by what they believe in and what they protect!

This...... How cruel.

"You have not been abandoned." Liu Nianru laughed, how could she bear to tell this group of northern expeditionary troops that terrible truth, even though it was just a guess......

But if this speculation does one day come true

Facts, how do you make them accept?

"It will take a long time to transport grain and grass from the imperial court, but it is obvious that our grain and grass will not last until then. Therefore I have chosen you to come with me to fetch bread and grass. Liu Nianru said.

She couldn't bear to say those words, so in the end, it was just such a pale and weak sentence, although it seems credible, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this sentence is too fragile to be repeated.

Before leaving.

Liu Nianru was called over by Duan Bailan.

Liu Nianru walked up to Duan Bailan, she saw Duan Bailan's heavy face, and she had a bad premonition in her heart for no reason.
