Chapter 262: Kindness is not more expensive than food

Inside the city of Yunzhou.

On the city wall, Xianrong soldiers were shoulder to shoulder, and even the urn city was crowded with soldiers. Yunzhou City, which was originally very large, became crowded at this moment.

In the General's Mansion in Yunzhou City, Tan Gen was drinking stuffy wine alone, with a few plates of beef on the small table and a jar of wine that looked like some vintages.

Outside the entire General's Mansion, there are soldiers standing on guard, since Tangen fled to Yunzhou City, he has paid special attention to security, and the current General's Mansion, let alone people, can't even fly in.

Tan Gen's face was covered with gloom, and he looked at the orders from the king's tent on the bookcase, and his heart was always holding his breath.

He was defeated in Wuwei County, lost so many soldiers and horses in Xianrong's West Horde, and also buried three generals, this news, when it reached Xianrong's country, the whole country was shocked. The people were worried, and rumors spread for a while, and the questioning and impeachment of Tan Gen gradually rose from the people to the king's account.

Xianrong Wushu was shocked by this defeat, especially when he heard the fall of the three famous Xianrong generals, he was even more panicked, and wrote letters one after another, asking for the withdrawal of troops and ending the war against Shangguo. However, the undying Tan Gen refused the order of the Xian Rong King Tent to collect the troops, insisted on going his own way, and asked for more troops, his father, as an elder, naturally could not elbow out, after his strength overwhelmed the public opinion, the Xian Rong King Tent gave Tan Gen one last chance, if this time, can not win, then Tan Gen will have to die to apologize, this is the king's ultimatum to Tan Gen.

If before this, Tan Gen was still planning to raise another 100,000 army to be ashamed, then now, the four words of death and apology are like hanging swords in the sky, making him sit on pins and needles, as if he was wearing a tight spell, and he dare not act impulsively again. His father also personally sent a message to warn him that what the king needed now was a victory, a victory to give an account to the people and nobles in the country. So whether it's offensive or defensive, he has to win a battle.

In such a situation, Tan Gen had no choice, put away the resentment in his heart, and decided to wait for work at ease, and adopt the current tactics, I have an army of 100,000 and a strong city, let you attack, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, 100,000 people, it is enough for you to drink a pot.

With the loss of the three generals, Tan Gen now often feels weak, and every time he thinks of that very magical young man in the army of the kingdom, he feels a chill in his heart.

Tan Gen picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the wine in a big gulp, his eyes empty.

"Newspaper, my lord, the Great Khan of Mongo is here in person today."

"Oh? Can't you push it off? Let's just say that I am sick and inconvenient. ”

It has been two days since Meng Ge arrived in Yunzhou City, and Tan Gen was stunned that he did not let the Menghu people enter the city, and Meng Ge sent people to ask for a meeting, but they were all sent away casually by Tan Gen. Tangen knows Mongo's purpose, but to be honest, although Mongo is kind to him, but kindness is kindness, kindness can't fill the stomach, this food is a fate for a large army, not to mention that he is also ready to fight with the coalition army for a long time, so this food, it will only be less and not more.

"My lord, the Great Khan of Mongo has arrived at the palace gate."

"Hmm...... Forget it, forget it. ”

Tan Gen was helpless, got up, pulled up the placket of his clothes, wiped his oily hands, and walked towards the door of the house.

……

Mongo was anxiously turning around the door, if he didn't see him today, he was going to break in, his 20,000 people, there were only a few days left before he ran out of food, and he thought that Tangen would be grateful to him. I didn't expect it to be this attitude, which made Meng Ge depressed.

"Yo, Great Khan, I'm sorry, I'm too busy, I'm too busy, those Han people are coming, I've been busy preparing for the battle for the past two days, I'm really sorry." Seeing Meng Ge, who was so anxious that his hands were crossed on his waist, Tan Gen hurriedly stepped forward to talk.

"Adults are busy with military affairs, understand and understand." Although Meng Ge was angry, he also knew that these were polite words, but there was no way, he came to borrow food from someone today, no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it.

"Inside, please, inside, please! Quick, let's get ready for the food! Tan Gen grabbed Mongo's wrist and dragged him into the house.

……

The general's mansion is still quite magnificent, this is the mansion of General Guo Xin back then, so many years have passed, this general's mansion still exudes an invisible majesty, but now, it is occupied by Xianrong people, it is really providential, a little ironic.

Soon, Tan Gen prepared a table for the feast.

"Lord Western Horde, Ben Khan is looking for you today because he has a request for something." Where did Mongo have the heart to eat and drink, his brothers now eat only one meal a day, and still eat dry.

"Huh? The Great Khan is so out of sight, what can I do to help, my Tangen is naturally doing my best, the Great Khan has a life-saving grace for me, am I Tangen an ungrateful person? Tangen poured Mongo a full bottle of wine and said.

"Ben Khan wants to borrow some food from Lord West Horde, I don't know if it's okay?" Mungo said bluntly.

"Tsk, it may be a little difficult to talk about food, the big war is coming, my 100,000 army still has to be used, I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze out much excess food......" Tan Gen acted as a reason, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Meng Ge.

Meng Ge's face sank instantly, a pair of eagle eyes stared directly at Tan Gen, no one is a fool, the grain and grass transported from Xianrong are truckloads one after another, yesterday, there were still ox carts transporting grain into the city, saying that there was no surplus grain.

Tan Gen glanced at Mongo, and when he saw that he was very displeased, he immediately smiled.

"Hmm...... Then I'll find a way to give some to the Great Khan, maybe not a lot. Is it possible? "Tan Gen seemed to have made a deal with Mongo, and bargained.

"Thank you very much." Meng Ge was extremely helpless, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, the great Khan of a country, first succumbed to the country, and now begged for people with his face, and it was really ridiculous to fall to this point.

"Come, come, drink, drink." Tan Gen slapped the table, hurriedly picked up the wine bowl, and diverted the topic.

Mungo sighed, took the bowl, raised it slightly, and drank it himself.

Tan Gen was a little embarrassed, it wasn't that he slammed the door, it was true that this 100,000 army was not easy to feed, the food was too precious, and he could generously give it to Meng Ge if he borrowed anything, only this food, it was absolutely not good.

"I wonder how much Lord West Horde can lend me?" Mungo asked.

"I can lend the Khan a maximum of half a month's worth of grain and grass, but there is really no more." Tan Gen was embarrassed, squeezing his brows, with a sad look.

"Okay, then I'll bother you, I'll send someone to fetch it tomorrow, and I'll pay it back later. If there is nothing to do, take your leave. Mongo said coldly.

"The Great Khan might as well stay in the city." Tan Gen said.

"No, where my soldiers are, I will be."

After Mungo finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Tan Gen looked embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to send it or not.
