readx;?“ Report! A Marine appeared at the door of Qian Longzhou's command room, and the princess was sitting calmly watching him look at the map. The princess at this time www.biquge.info completely lost her previous anxious appearance, and her face was much more normal, but she was still a little pale. The princess was now sitting upright, with a cup of tea on the coffee table at hand, and the maid beside her looked at the patriarch with little stars in her eyes.

"What's the matter?" Qian Longzhou held down the place he had just seen and looked up at the marine.

"Report to the chief." The marines saluted in a proper manner, "The man who just went outside to search for the wounded brought back a messenger sent from the Nanban. ”

"Emissary?" Everyone in the room asked in unison. It has been many years since the Southern Barbarians and the North invaded, and at the beginning Annan also sent envoys to try to persuade or buy off the Southern Barbarians, but every time the envoys sent out were directly hacked to death and then eaten by the corpses, and now the Nanban actually sent envoys?

"Drag this messenger out and hang him!" Princess Ji waved her hand directly, but the marines didn't agree, just looked at Qian Longzhou. This is a soldier of the Senate, but he didn't give any face to the master of this Zhancheng port, so the princess froze there.

Qian Longzhou hurriedly made a look of asking for instructions, and leaned over to the princess and whispered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we are not barbarians, we might as well listen to what they have to say, after all, there are still so many Annan people who are slaves in their hands." ”

The princess was stunned for a moment, she didn't think about this aspect at all, and after a while, she nodded in agreement, and whispered to Qian Longzhou: "Then listen to Qian Chengshou's arrangement." ”

Qian Longzhou nodded, but he didn't notice that he didn't know when he hung up the title of city guard. He walked up to the Marines and said, "Then bring the messenger here." ”

Soon the messenger was brought over, and everyone in the room was dumbfounded, it was actually a naked woman. It turned out that this woman had been stripped of her clothes when she was a prisoner in Nanban's camp, and when she was forced to come to the city gate, Nanban didn't have any hope that she would come back alive, so she didn't think to give her a set of clothes at all. When she arrived at the city gate, the soldiers of the new army were dumbfounded, and no one thought to give her a set of clothes. When the non-commissioned officer of the Marine Corps arrived with a few soldiers to take away the messenger, he actually forgot to give her clothes, so she had to walk naked through the streets and alleys until she got here. Fortunately, because the people were not allowed to go to the street along the way, it did not cause the people to watch.

"I'll go!" Qian Longzhou couldn't help but sigh, "You brainless, don't you know how to get a set of clothes for her?" ”

But the princess stood up, and motioned to the maid beside her, who took the woman down again, and brought it back after a while, and by this time she was already dressed as a servant.

"What's your name?" Qian Longzhou asked, and a clerk beside him quickly recorded the interrogation record on a piece of paper with a pencil.

"The little woman's name is Song Shicao, a native of Wenshan Port, who was captured by barbarians a few days ago." Song Cao fell down and knelt down generously and kowtowed to the people in the room. "Now I have been sent by the barbarians to deliver a letter to you."

Qian Longzhou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her mind appeared when she was not wearing clothes just now, and she secretly said in her heart that she was in good shape, but she was poked with a pencil by the clerk next to her and woke up. Hurriedly asked, "What did those barbarians ask you to come here?" ”

The princess couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately the Chinese soldier just now ignored her order, otherwise if she really dragged this woman out and hanged herself, wouldn't it be a crime?

Song knelt on the ground straight and replied: "The barbarians are unreasonable, they take pleasure in slaughtering and looting the people of Annan, and they are all debaucherous and obscene to my Annan women. Saying that, she kowtowed again, "The Barbarian King asked the little woman to come over this time because he wanted to exchange the grain for the women in the Barbarian camp in Zhancheng Port. ”

The people in the room were stunned, can these Nanban turn a little faster? If you can beat it, you can fight it, and if you can't beat it, you can use the captives to exchange food?

"This ......" the princess wanted to veto, but looking at the woman kneeling on the ground in front of her, she couldn't say anything.

Qian Longzhou was also stunned there, standing or sitting, and a group of officials of all sizes in Zhancheng Port next to him saw that the princess, who was the lord of Zhancheng Port, did not speak, and they all wisely chose to keep silent, and the whole room was quiet for a while.

After being silent for a while, a person walked in from outside, it was Xue Ziliang, he strode into the hall of the command room, crossed the threshold, bypassed the kneeling woman on the ground, picked up a thermos cup on the table and took a sip of tea, and then looked at a room of people who were still silent.

"Which one are you guys playing here?" Xue Ziliang kicked Qian Longzhou with his toes, "I checked just now, the barbarians besieging on three sides have been dispersed, and now they have basically returned to the starting position, before Ximen reported that he had found the No. 1 target, I have seen it, the distance is too far, I can't hit, so I gave up." ”

Qian Longzhou smiled bitterly, "Nanban said that they would exchange the women they captured for food. ”

"What a good thing!" Xue Ziliang put the thermos cup on the table, "How many women are there?" ”

Song Shicao straightened up and replied, "There should be about 800 people in the camp. ”

"And what about ordinary people?" Xue Ziliang asked again.

"About three thousand people."

"And what does the princess think?" Qian Longzhou knew what Xue Ziliang meant, and hurriedly asked the princess.

The princess was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "This number is really a little bigger, I occupied the city port originally had more than 8,000 residents who took refuge in the city, and when I attacked the city before, I gathered more than 5,000 refugees, if you add these more than 3,000 people, I am afraid that the food in the city will not be able to be supplied." ”

"Your Highness the Princess." Qian Longzhou whispered, "In our place, human life is priceless, food is a trivial matter, if the supply is not available, the supply can be reduced, and when the city is relieved, there will definitely be a way to get food." If the barbarians were allowed to slaughter the people for the sake of this food, it would make the people feel cold. ”

The princess's tears fell at this time, although she had never seen how Nanban slaughtered the people, but according to the "photo" portraits taken on the plane to explore the way, the people captured by Nanban along the way were not only used as slaves to carry grain and grass, but also directly used as rations to slaughter and eat. She was originally kind-hearted, and when she heard these things, she felt extremely uncomfortable. At present, I heard that I could exchange food for living people, but the port of Zhancheng Port has been destroyed, and the passage to the outside world has been blocked by barbarians. At this time, as soon as she heard Qian Longzhou's words that life is priceless, she immediately made up her mind, she stared at Qian Longzhou's eyes and nodded, "Then let's do it according to Qian Chengshou's idea." ”

A group of Champong officials next to him immediately whispered, "This grain is getting less and less." ”

"That is, if we exchange food for the barbarians, what will we eat? Doesn't that give them more time to surround us? ”

"Yes, even if we can survive until the barbarians withdraw from the siege, what's the use of us asking for these ** thousand people? Don't you have to be eaten poor by them? ”

After discussing for a while, an official in a red official robe stood up and said to the princess, "Princess, please think twice!" The materials I occupy the city and port are extremely limited, if it is used to exchange these useless people, and after the barbarians withdraw from the siege, we will not have enough food and clothing, this exchange must not be allowed! ”

"So how long will the grain in this port of Champa be enough for the people in the city to eat?" Before the princess could speak, Xue Ziliang directly grabbed Bai Dao and stunned the official on the spot.

The princess also felt embarrassed to be objected to, so she asked directly, "You are in charge of the granary, how much grain do you have?" ”

The official was stunned, there was actually a lot of grain, but the problem was that many of the rice in the granary were old rice that had been around for several years, and some of them had even been moldy and spoiled, and some had even been quietly replaced by a large bag of sediment by the officials of the granary. Thinking of this, he hurriedly handed over his data and said, "There are still 10,000 stone of grain in the granary." ”

"How many tons of grain is 10,000 stones?" Qian Longzhou looked at Xue Ziliang a little stunned, he still couldn't figure out the conversion between this stone and ton.

Xue Ziliang was also a little stunned, took out his mobile phone and calculated, "It should be six hundred tons." ”

"How long would that last more than 10,000 people?" Qian Longzhou hurriedly asked.

Xue Ziliang said to himself while pressing his mobile phone: "An adult's monthly rice consumption is about twelve kilograms, so six hundred tons can provide ......" He pressed it for a while, "It should be able to provide a month's ration for 50,000 people." ”

The official in charge of the grain depot was stunned on the spot, this group of Chinese liked to calculate everything there, he never expected to be able to calculate how long this 10,000 stone grain could be eaten.

Although the princess didn't know what Xue Ziliang's crackling for a while meant, she understood what he said, which could provide a month's ration for 50,000 people, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said loudly, "Then change it." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, by all means!" The grain officer grabbed Bai Dao again, "The grain of this granary...... That's life-saving food prepared for the disaster year on weekdays......" He really couldn't think of any reason to prevaricate, so he could only use this kind of reason that he thought was ridiculous.

"Life-saving food?" Qian Longzhou couldn't help but sneer, "This is now used to save lives." ”

The princess nodded hurriedly, and when she saw that the grain officer was about to speak again, the jade finger pointed directly at him and shouted: "Don't say much, and let you go to negotiate with the barbarians." ”

Seeing that the grain official was silent, he just hung his head and returned to the group of officials, who were as quiet as a hundred birds, for fear of being caught by the princess and sent to negotiate with Nanban.

The princess chuckled and said to Qian Longzhou: "Okay, Qian Chengshou, go and arrange negotiations." ”
