"Your Majesty, although this army has been brought over, there is no danger along the way, but now that we have brought the troops over, a war between the two armies cannot be avoided, but I heard that the queen mother's granary is the distribution of grain and grass, but our troops are already about to run out of grain and grass, and they will not be able to supply it soon, and it will only last for three days at most."

Sitting around the table, Taiwei Li had a sad look on his face, Qin Zhao also let out a long sigh when he heard this, he stood up with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the past from this position, I saw that the soldiers below were adjusting and resting one after another, this time bringing a full 60,000 people, 60,000 people's expenses, is not a simple trivial matter, although several carts of grain and grass have been pulled, but how many days can be supplied, three days must be not enough.

"This is indeed a problem, when I was in the suburban courtyard before, the queen mother gave me an idea, saying that she purchased a large number of sweet potatoes from Pingnan as an attack by the troops, but now I heard that the sweet potatoes will be able to arrive in several days, and it is expected that it will take ten days, but the grain and grass can only be supplied for three days, and the soldiers cannot go without eating or drinking in these seven days......

Qin Zhao's brows furrowed tightly at this time, and his face was also very helpless, these 60,000 soldiers are not six soldiers, if a few of them hunt in the mountains and catch some rabbits casually, wild beasts can also fill their hunger, but even if tens of thousands of people hollow out the entire mountain, they can't fill the stomachs of so many people.

Qin Zhao had a sad look on his face, Lord Huang and Taiwei Li didn't know what to do at this time, they only led 60,000 people down, it was originally because of the shortage of grain and grass, if there was enough grain and grass, they should have brought 100,000 horses down together.

"The emperor is now in such a situation, we can only fight quickly, three days, we can barely supply to four days, four days, if we can't take this time, I'm afraid our grain and grass will really be broken, this year is already in the drought year, the people have no surplus food in their hands. Part of the grain and grass that Lord Song had collected from all over the world had almost been consumed. ”

Lord Huang's face was also full of gloom at this time, Qin Zhao just nodded when he heard this, what should he do in this situation now, the native potatoes of Pingnan Country don't know how many days it will take to be delivered, he has already ordered the adults to change the route, and directly pass by the place where the Queen Mother's troops are stationed and send it to them, which can save two days of time, but no matter how you calculate it, if there is no new grain and grass as a supply, it can only support a few days.

No matter what, there will be a few days when the supply of food and grass will be cut off, so that the soldiers have no food, let alone any war, I am afraid that when the Queen Mother's troops come, they will not even have the strength to flee for their lives.

"Your Majesty, in such a situation, the problem of grain and grass has become more and more serious, no matter what, the only way for us now is to seize the opportunity and strive to defeat the Queen Mother within three days, so that the troops can rest and recuperate and go home to farm, so as not to fall into a desperate situation."

The expression on Lord Huang's face at this time also looked very anxious, and he opened his mouth to mind Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao listened to these words, pursed his lips and nodded, although Lord Huang Huang's words made sense, but no matter how quick the battle was, it was impossible for 50,000 people to be consumed in three days, and the soldiers under them could not withstand such a high-intensity combat load.

They have just migrated here from Jingbei to the south, and they have already rushed a lot of roads along the way, and they have already consumed a lot of physical strength, and where can they still have so much strength to eliminate the remnants of the Queen Mother's forces in three days.

"Quick victory, this point of view is indeed worth considering, our morale is now high, and we are in the advantage, as long as we push forward quickly, we can indeed end this battle quickly and win, but it is not so fast, therefore, I have ordered Lord Song to go around to collect grain and grass again, if we can raise it in the past two days, there should be results."

Qin Zhao was not in a hurry at this time, and said to Lord Huang and Taiwei Li, Lord Huang heard this, and the expression on his face eased a little, but he also knew that it was already a whimsical thing to only have so much grain and grass left to support the consumption of so many soldiers.

"Two adults, this matter must be kept secret, absolutely not to leak the slightest rumor, if the Queen Mother knows, our food and grass supply is already insufficient, will think of countermeasures, with delaying tactics to let our soldiers slowly consume, so now we must keep this news secret, as long as the new grain and grass supply comes up, after the potatoes of Pingnan are delivered, our food crisis can be resolved, and we can also fight for a long time."

Qin Zhao lowered his voice and explained to the two adults, Qin Zhao's words were extremely reasonable, and Lord Huang and Taiwei Li also nodded in unison, originally the previous battlefield had always been close to Jingbei.

Now the Queen Mother's troops have been defeated, stationed in this mountainous area, they are thinking of recuperation, and now they are bound to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so that the Queen Mother can not be adjusted, and now even Zhao Yuanzheng has fallen into their hands, the other party now has no marshal, it is already like a headless fly, this is a good time to take them.

Lord Huang was very excited at this time

。 But Qin Zhao had a faint bad premonition in his heart, the Queen Mother, an old witch, would never give up easily, even when she was cornered, she would escape death.

Before the fire in Cining Palace was the last way out reserved by the Queen Mother for herself, and now Guan Tongshu is still in the hands of the Queen Mother, and his heart is not at ease anyway.

"That's right, now that Zhao Yuanzheng is also in our hands, Taiwei Li, I still need you to send your subordinates to take good care of Zhao Yuanzheng. Zhao Yuanzheng is a person who looks quiet on the surface, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely choose to escape, we must be strictly guarded, maybe this person still has a little meaning for the Queen Mother, and we can also use Zhao Yuanzheng as our bargaining chip at that time. ”

Qin Zhao said to Taiwei Li, Taiwei Li nodded, and took over this task, he has always understood Qin Zhao's mind very well, and at this time, he also understood that Qin Zhao's words were nothing more than to let himself keep an eye on Zhao Yuanzheng, if he had the opportunity, he also wanted to take Zhao Yuanzheng as a condition and exchange Guan Tongshu over.

A generation of emperors can be affectionate to this point, even in the life-and-death scene of marching and fighting, still firmly guarding their beloved women, this thought, so that they, the old and rough, can't help but be moved in their hearts, and the emperor can be so affectionate to this point, this is unprecedented and unprecedented.
