Chapter 664: Lack of Food and Grass

When Qin Zhao heard this, he just sighed silently, now that his body has recovered most of his body, Qin Zhao tried to sit up and get out of bed, Guan Tongshu turned around and saw that Qin Zhao had already gotten out of bed, startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Zhao's body, but Qin Zhao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"The queen's question also caused me to worry in my heart, this time, I will leave the army and come to this suburban courtyard, naturally because this has already made a judgment on the situation, the queen mother just suffered a few defeats a few days ago, and now they have not adjusted so quickly, they also need time to readjust their strategies and layouts, so they can't hold back the thoughts of you in their hearts, so they will come on horseback."

Qin Zhao said Guan Tongshu while listening to Qin Zhao's words, the situation in the army is very good now, but Qin Zhao's tone did not sound relaxed, but seemed to have a touch of sorrow, it is estimated that he has encountered some problems.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are not relaxed when they listen to your tone, although they have won a few battles now, but I think the emperor must still have some concerns in his heart, if there are any problems, you might as well take them out and discuss them with the concubines?"

Guan Tongshu's tone was very gentle, she gently held Qin Zhao's arm, Qin Zhao was now only wearing a thin dress, and the blood-stained fabric on her arm was still shocking, looking at this, Guan Tongshu's heart only felt extremely distressed, Qin Zhao often sighed when he heard these words.

"Queen, I know that you are very concerned about me, and you are also very concerned about the affairs of the army, but these things, I don't want you to worry too much, I have Lord Huang and Captain Li on my left and right hands, they are very familiar with the affairs of the army, and they are also my right-hand men, if you worry about these problems, I really don't want to go."

Qin Zhao's words came out, but Guan Tongshu's heart did not seem happy, Qin Zhao had already written this sorrow on his face now, as long as he was a person, he could see how troubled the emperor was on his face now, Guan Tongshu took a step forward and looked at Qin Zhao in front of him, his face was full of worry.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine is a woman, but the concubine has secretly read some military books from my father since she was a child, although she can't say that she understands this march and battle, but maybe she can give the emperor some advice from other angles?"

Guan Tongshu had a worried look on her face at this time, and said to Qin Zhao Qin Zhao turned his head and looked at the woman in front of him, Guan Tongshu's face was like a flower, but now the look on his face was not easy at all, Qin Zhao let out a long sigh and hugged Guan Tongshu into his arms.

"In fact, the problem is not big, the Queen Mother's ability to march and fight is not good, and it is not as good as our side, so every time the two armies fight, the Queen Mother is defeated and retreated, but no matter how the Queen Mother loses, there are at least 50,000 men and horses in her hands now."

Qin Zhao frowned slightly and said this, Guan Tongshu just listened patiently, 50,000 horses, more than a little to say is actually a lot, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be a spark enough to start a prairie fire, so the emperor is naturally worried about it for a reason.

"But the Queen Mother's army has endless grain and grass in their hands, they have their own place to grow food, but it is very secret, we still don't know where it is, but this year is already a year of drought, a few days ago because of the famine, the capital and the surrounding granaries have been opened to relieve the victims, and now the war is up, our troops do not have enough food and grass, if we continue to consume like this, I am afraid that the time will be defeated without a fight."

Qin Zhao said this, his tone revealed helplessness, Guan Tongshu listened to these words, and suddenly felt that he understood, how difficult Qin Zhao was at this time, the problem of food and grass, although he could not perceive his importance on weekdays, but as long as the days of marching and fighting were long, if there was not enough food, this would become a fatal problem.

"Now the grain and grass in our army can only last for another half a month at most, but the people in the capital are already short of food, and we can't collect it from the people, and it's too ......late to grow food now."

Qin Zhao's words, Guan Tongshu was even more helpless after hearing this, if the food problem is not solved, this army will have no food supplies, and there will be no motivation to move forward again, no matter how high the morale is, even if the number of people is ten times that of the other party, as long as it can't hold on, then it will be defeated without a fight in the end.

Guan Tongshu's brows furrowed tightly when she heard this, Qin Zhao smiled slightly when he saw this situation, and hugged Guan Tongshu into his arms, he didn't want to tell Guan Tongshu about these things, Guan Tongshu is now just worried about the two children is enough to make her sad, if she continues to worry about these problems, it will only make Guan Tongshu even more uncomfortable and unable to eat, this is not the result she wants to see.

Guan Tongshu didn't care at this time, she bit her lip tightly and frowned tightly, as if she was thinking about something.

"Queen, I came here quickly this time, and I didn't have much time to stay, because I was attacked, and I wasted the time that I should have stayed here for the night, so ...... I guess I'll have to rush back in the afternoon. ”

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, Guan Tongshu's eyes widened in fright, Qin Zhao was joking?

He just came over, and now he has only slept for a short time, and he wants to go back, this time it is not a journey of a while and a half, it is a full two days and one night, the emperor is injured now, how can he be so bumpy?

"Your Majesty, are you joking with your concubines? Now that you are physically injured, the doctor has already said that you can't continue to consume your physical strength, you should lie here and rest, but now you tell your concubine that you want to rush back, I won't let you go no matter what! ”

Guan Tongshu heard this, and as she spoke, tears had already fallen, looking at the blood on Qin Zhao's arm that had not yet dried up, but she was thinking about leaving, not to mention how distressed she was.

Qin Zhao was also very helpless at this time, he gently touched Guan Tongshu's head, if time permitted, he also wanted to accompany Guan Tongshu here, but time did not allow him to do so.

"Queen, I know that you are concerned about my safety, but as I said to you just now, the time for the grain and grass to last is running out, and now we can only choose to take advantage of the victory and pile up, while the food is still enough to supply for half a month, we will hurry forward and wipe out the 50,000 horses of the Queen Mother. to be able to solve the problem quickly. ”

"But this march and war is supposed to pay attention to adjustment and rest, like this, regardless of the cost, just care about speeding up the process, in the end, if you can't overcome it, the soldiers are injured, and their vitality is greatly damaged, it is to give the other party a chance to take advantage of, the emperor, the concubine, please think twice!"

Guan Tongshu grabbed Qin Zhao's other arm and said this to Qin Zhao, but there were tears in her eyes as she spoke, she was reluctant to let Qin Zhao toss herself like this.

Although she knew that Qin Zhao was the commander of this army, and all the people under her relied on Qin Zhao's orders, but now even if she wanted to win the battle, she couldn't do it like this.
