Chapter 748: Returning to Beijing to ask for food

Chang'an in early summer is already hot, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

After Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin returned to Chang'an City, they both wanted to hurry home and open a jar of cold beer to drink.

However, thinking of the situation in Youzhou, they could only endure it and went to the household first.

Tang Jian was a little surprised to see the two of them come back.

"Why did the two little generals come back?"

"Lord Tang, we have now reached Youzhou City, but we will not be able to attack it for a while and a half, and we may have to fight a protracted war, Master Hou asked us to come back and transport some grain and grass, and I will bother Lord Tang to prepare it."

There is no need to alarm Li Shimin about grain and grass, as long as Shangshu Province agrees and has a record of it, the household department can prepare grain and grass.

When Tang Jian heard that he was going to fight a protracted battle with King Yan, he knew that grain and grass were very important, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately responded: "Okay, I'll order someone to prepare, and after three days, I'll prepare it for you." ”

Now is the time of harvest of wheat and rice in some places, but because the new wheat has not yet been harvested, there are not many old wheat, and the price is relatively expensive.

Here in the imperial court, because some were given to the Turks, there was not much left.

Tang Jian dared to promise to prepare it in three days, which was already a great face-saving for Qin Tian.

Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin were relieved when they heard Tang Jian's words, and then they finally went back to their homes to rest.

In the past few days, they have hurried from Youzhou to Chang'an City, it can be said that there is not much rest along the way, and now that things are basically successful, they can naturally go home and have a good rest.

The two of them left, and Tang Jian ordered people to prepare grain and grass while going to Shangshu Province.

After coming to Shangshu Province, Tang Jian told the situation to the current Shangshu Ling Gao Shilian.

When Gao Shilian heard that Qin Tian wanted grain and grass, a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Tang, as far as this official knows, there is not much grain and grass in the household department, right? And it seems that there are other uses, but so? ”

"Exactly, but the war on the side of Youzhou is more tense, the official decided to embezzle it first, and then send someone to buy some, as for other uses, you can wait for the new wheat to come down, this is not very urgent."

At this time, Tang Jian didn't feel anything.

But after he said this, Gao Shilian shook his head: "How can this work?" That Youzhou City is afraid that it will be broken in the near future, why is there such a hurry to transport grain and grass, Lord Tang must believe in Qin Tian's ability. ”

Hearing this, Tang Jian faintly felt that the situation was a little bad.

"Lord Gao, the war cannot be delayed, so please sign here, so that the household department can prepare grain and grass, which can be transported to Youzhou."

At this time, Tang Jian's words were already a little unkind, although Gao Shilian's official position was bigger than him, but it was a matter of war, and he could not let Gao Shilian slaughter him.

However, Gao Shilian is not afraid of Tang Jian, he is Shang Shuling, whether the grain and grass of the household department are transported or not, he has the final say, or in other words, if he does not sign, the household department is ready for the grain and grass, and he does not dare to transport it away.

Otherwise, it would be a great sin.

The two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel in Shangshu Province, and Tang Jian also had no choice but to leave angrily.

And so the first day ended.

The next day, Tang Jian came to Shangshu Province again, but Gao Shilian still refused to sign.

"Lord Gao, you are looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Marquis Qin, I want to go to see the Holy Lord, you had better agree quickly, otherwise I won't spare you when you get to the Holy Lord."

"Bold, is Lord Tang threatening this official?"

Tang Jian smiled, and then left Shangshu Province and rushed directly to the palace, since Gao Shilian refused to agree, he could only start from Li Shimin's side.

However, Gao Shilian was not afraid of Tang Jian's behavior, because it was strange that Tang Jian could see Li Shimin.

In the past two days, Li Shimin has been ill, and he has not been to the morning court much, and the imperial doctor has also asked him to rest more, so now, it is basically not a big deal, and Li Shimin will not meet people.

He felt that Li Shimin was sick, and God was really helping him.

Qin Tian has no food and grass, see how he fights.

Gao Shilian was excited, Tang Jian had already come to the palace to see Li Shimin, but was stopped by the palace people.

"Lord Tang, the saint's illness is not suitable to see the wind, it is inconvenient to see people, if there is no major event, please go back."

"It is a great matter to convey your troubles to the Holy Lord."

"This ...... Lord Tang was a little embarrassed. ”

The meaning of the palace people is already very clear, and I don't see it.

When Tang Jian saw this situation, he became more and more angry.

But it didn't make much use of messing with the palace people here, so he left angrily.

Tang Jian couldn't find a way around, Su Dingfang had already gotten the news here, and after he got the news, he laughed very excitedly, he felt that it was really a wise decision to recommend Gao Shilian to take the position of Shang Shuling.

It couldn't be better to use Gao Shilian to deal with Qin Tian.

Even if something happens, it will be Gao Shilian's trouble, he is borrowing a knife to kill people.

If Qin Tian couldn't borrow grain and grass, then it would be impossible for him to destroy Luo Yi in Youzhou.

The next day passed like this, Tang Jian didn't think of a good way, if he directly sent the grain and grass away desperately tomorrow, it could be okay, but the subsequent charges were not something he could afford.

After thinking about it, Tang Jian could only quickly send someone to call Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, tell them about the situation, and see if they had any other methods.

Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin didn't care about anything in the past two days, they just ate, drank and had fun at home, and indulged a lot.

Hearing that Tang Jian was looking for them, they didn't feel any trouble at first, thinking that Tang Jian had prepared the grain and grass.

After coming to the household department, Cheng Chumo asked directly: "Lord Tang, is it the grain and grass that Master Hou wants?" ”

After asking, they found that Tang Jian's face was a little ugly, and the whole person was complaining like a young woman.

"Lord Tang, why do you have such an expression?"

The two of them were very strange, Tang Jian smiled bitterly, and said, "Two little generals, the grain and grass have been almost prepared for you, but you can't take it away." ”

Hearing that they couldn't take it away, the two people were stunned: "Why is this?" ”

"Gao Shilian over there in Shangshu Province refuses to sign, and I don't dare to take this grain and grass away for you."

"Gao Shilian?" Hearing that Gao Shilian was playing a ghost, the two of them suddenly became angry, when Gao Shilian was Shang Shuling, they were a little worried, and now they came back to ask for food and grass, and the thing they were worried about finally happened.

"His grandmother's, this Gao Shilian is going to kill tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou, there is no food and grass, what do they eat, how do they fight, dare to harm us, I will never spare him."

Cheng Chumo scolded in the household department, and then ran directly to Shangshu Province, Tang Jian's brows condensed slightly, as if he didn't expect Cheng Chumo to be so impulsive.

Not daring to hesitate, he hurriedly chased after him.
