Mr. Yuan Huang Yuan Lifan hurried to Xiao Ruxun's office near noon, his face was red and his ears were red and panting, and his back was a little rickety, Xiao Ruxun smiled when he saw him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Did Gong Yuan sleep well last night?"

Yuan Huang's face was full of resentment and shame, he hid his face and sat back in his place, and said in a low voice: "Why is Ji Xin playing such a trick on me, an old man!" You...... Really! ”

"Hahahahaha!!"

Xiao Ruxun laughed out loud, but soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

After spreading out all the problems he knew so far, he called some North Korean officials to come over and ask them carefully, only then did he find out how serious the problems in North Korea were, and he understood why the Ming army retreated directly after the Battle of Bihoguan and did not advance, and also realized what kind of situation the Ming army was facing at that time.

To put it bluntly, it's just two words, lack of food.

After the main force of the Ming army defeated Konishi Yukinaga, they crossed the Imjin River, and before the battle of Bihokan, they were actually hungry for two days without food.

There is no food to eat! Two days!

What does this mean?

Song Yingchang sent 80,000 stone of grain to North Korea, and the North Koreans themselves can provide at least 40,000 stone of grain, adding up to 120,000 stone, which is at least enough for the army for two months, and it is impossible to run out of food at this time anyway, so what is the reason?

It is exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the transportation capacity can not keep up, the grain in Hanzhong is piled up, dead or alive can not be transported to Qinling, the Ming army is also facing the same state, the grain is piled up in Yizhou, dead or alive can not be transported to the front line, not only the grain can not be transported, even the artillery can not be transported, North Korea has just finished the rainy season, the roads are muddy, but the DPRK is short of livestock, vehicles and manpower, and even disbanded the monk Xiu Jing with great combat effectiveness of the monk army to transport grain, or a drop in the bucket.

Li Rusong's desperate attack on Bihu Pavilion was not a reckless attack, but to fill his stomach for his subordinates to seize the grain in the granary of Seoul!

Along the way, Xiao Ruxun's soldiers explored Yuan Huang's carefully planned march route from Uiju to Dingju and Anju, then to Suning and Shun'an, and finally to the west side of Pyongyang.

In July and August, North Korea was the rainy season in summer, and there was quite a lot of rain, and when the cavalry of Zu Chengxun marched, they encountered a rainy day, and they arrived in Pyongyang in a hurry, and the roads were muddy, potholes, and some of the pits were even as deep as a person's height, a dilapidated scene, and people could still walk around, and the vehicles carrying ordnance, grain and grass, especially artillery, could not pass at all.

Along the way, the post station was basically empty, the houses and granaries were soaked by the rain, the few moldy and rotten grains and the rats everywhere were terrified, all the rotten ones were rotten, and there were very few that could still be used, and nothing could be stored in the wet warehouses.

Yuan Huang's face became very bad - he didn't think that the situation in North Korea was very bad, but he didn't expect the situation in North Korea to become so bad, he felt that this young general should be too nervous to be the first time to be the commander, so he was a little overly cautious, this kind of thing has to be asked personally, now at a glance, this is clearly far-sighted!

If he hadn't insisted on asking to personally take over the work of this place, the army would have been hungry at that time, and then the court would have investigated it, but how could it be good?

Thinking of this, Yuan Huang broke out in a cold sweat.

After Xiao Ruxun read the news of the soldier's investigation with a black face, he called Liu Chenglong over with a black face, and threw the news he found to Liu Chenglong and asked him for an explanation.

"Since the end of the battle on July 17, almost two months have passed, what have your monarchs and ministers done? You see, this is the route we have planned, a straight avenue, the only route that can be marched, but what is the situation? There is a deep pit of one person's height along the road, the post station in Anzhou, Dingzhou is empty, the warehouse granaries are festering and unusable, and there are a few grains that are mildew, and rats are running everywhere! You call me the Great Army! What! Make! War! ”

Xiao Ruxun directly threw the report on Liu Chenglong, Liu Chenglong hurriedly opened it and looked at it, his face turned pale when he looked at it, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping to the ground, and he didn't know what to say at all when he saw it, he was nervous and lost his face.

In this case, Xiao Ruxun can't continue to blame Liu Chenglong, he still has a group of helpers, Liu Chenglong only has a group of pig teammates who are dragging his feet, and being able to put Yizhou in order has made him almost die, and now putting more pressure on him can only make him fall faster, sighing, Xiao Ruxun walked to Liu Chenglong's side and patted him on the shoulder, and took him to meet the king of Joseon.

Li Hao has obviously become a lot more relaxed since Xiao Ruxun came, he was worried and uneasy three times a night, but now he not only sleeps well and eats well, but also can take time to relax with the ministers around him, and take the time to watch the escaped palace maids dance, which is really enjoyable.

However, a chamberlain eunuch hurriedly ran over, saying that Admiral Xiao was very angry and asked to see the king, so frightened that Li Hao immediately removed the dancing girl, removed all the wine and food, and then replaced it with books and pen and paper, and put on the appearance of listening to politics and discussing politics.

But as soon as Xiao Ruxun came in, he smelled the strong smell of wine and fat powder, smiled mockingly, didn't poke it, just sneered, and then saluted, sat down and fired.

"What...... This...... To the point where it has come? ”

Li Hao didn't seem to understand what the world outside his palace was like, in his consciousness, as long as he quietly waited for the Great Tomorrow soldiers to defeat Japan and recover Korea, and then returned to Seoul to be the king of Joseon, he didn't have to worry about anything else, that General Xiao took it all by himself, but Xiao Ruxun was held accountable in front of him, and he realized that he and his ministers seemed to have angered the general.

"Your Majesty, your country is short of food, the Ming Dynasty has been considerate in every way, and transferred 80,000 stone of grain from Liaodong to support, we bring our own troops to bring our own food, our own ordnance and our own troops, it is really benevolent and righteous, your country has urged this governor to march into the army several times, okay, this governor can enter the army!

But since ancient times, the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, and the weeping children can still say these eight words, and you are in a high position after reading poetry and books, don't you understand?! The road is in such a bad condition, how can I wait to transport food?! How to reserve?! How does the army march?! What do you eat after entering the army?! Rats?! ”

Well, even the ministers don't call themselves ......

Xiao Ruxun's face was serious, his tone was heavy, his voice was loud, and he was full of intimidation.

Li Hao's face was pale, and he didn't know how to speak, and the Korean ministers lowered their heads and were silent, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruxun slowed down his tone.

"Your Majesty, the current situation, before transporting grain, it is necessary to send manpower to fill the road, repair the post station, repair the warehouse granary, and even kill the rats to prevent the food from being eaten and the plague is rampant, originally two months can enter the army, a month and a half faster, but now it seems that without three months of effort, the governor cannot enter the army!"

This batch of pig teammates is a candle, they don't light it, and a few of them don't light it up, and their attitude is so bad that they are still urging the Ming army to march, what is the intention!
