The capital of a country, logically speaking, will build some large-scale warehouses of preliminary grain materials around it in case of emergency, just like the Xingluo warehouse next to Luoyang in the Sui Dynasty, Zhai made Li Mi the biggest anti-king in the world at that time, and it was inseparable from getting this granary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chang'an City, as the capital of the Tang Empire, according to historical records, there are three huge granaries around him, and only the smallest Dongweiqiao granary has millions of stones of grain, not to mention the Taicang specially used to store grain materials.

It stands to reason that even if the food can't be transported for a while, there should be no shortage of food in Chang'an City, but unfortunately, don't forget, there is still a fighting army stationed in the northern border pass, an army of more than 100,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and the food needed every day is countless, how did these grains come from, all of them need to be transferred from Chang'an City like them, so that the people of the entire Chang'an City can eat food for several months.

In this case, it becomes a little insufficient, and the remaining food in Chang'an City is only enough for a month, within a month, if the imperial court can't think of a way, the people of Chang'an City will not be good, but the big soldiers who are fighting on the front line are not so easy to deal with, in case of a real mutiny, even if it can be quelled, it will cause huge trouble.

Ten in the middle of the day, in normal times, at this time, the early dynasty may have already ended, and the civil and military officials have already gone back to deal with government affairs, but today, Hanyuan Hall is extremely lively, from the morning to the court, until now, the sound of the quarrel has not stopped.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, according to Weichen's opinion, for today's plan, only to end the war in the north as soon as possible, let General Pei lead the army back, in order to survive the current crisis, in this way, not only can solve the problem of food shortage in Chang'an City, but also solve the possibility of army mutiny, killing two birds with one stone, it is the best policy, otherwise, wait until a month later, Chang'an City will run out of food, and the border soldiers will not get food, not only will the army be in turmoil, I am afraid it will also make the Turkic army see the flaws, so that a mistake will be completely bad." It was Pei Yan who spoke as the provincial servant under the door.

I have to say that as an old bureaucrat who has been in the sea for a long time, Pei Yan's strategy is quite stable, and in the current situation, this strategy is also very feasible, but unfortunately, if his strategy is put in the later Song Dynasty or the Ming and Qing dynasties, it may work.

Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, an old man with gray hair, but like a tiger descending from the mountain, immediately stood up and retorted, "No, never, Your Majesty, Niangniang, Pei Shizhong has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't know much about the battlefield, so he came up with such an idea, if he really follows Pei Shizhong's strategy, I'm afraid that my Datang will suffer a greater disaster." "Above the court, there are many generals who know how to lead troops to fight, but there are not many people who dare not to give face to Pei Yan, the prime minister, but this old man who speaks is one of them, he is the famous general who pacified Baekje and defeated the Japanese invasion of Baekje at sea with more than 200,000 troops, Liu Renliang.

"Oh, Liu Aiqing carefully talk about it, what is wrong with Pei Aiqing's words, do I think what he said makes some sense?" Because of the importance of the matter, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, who usually walks on the sickbed for most of the day, also has to sit here with a strong spirit, because his body is really weak, he has long been unable to support it, just now I heard Pei Yan's words, I feel a little reasonable in my heart, but now, seeing the battlefield general, who is also his confidant, Liu Renliang, came forward to refute, and he can only continue to listen to it.

With Li Zhi's permission, Liu Renliang continued, "Back to Your Majesty, Pei Shizhong's strategy just now seems to have solved the immediate difficulties, but he didn't expect that now General Pei Xingjian is in the middle of a war with the Turks who have entered the Koukou, and withdrawing the army at this time will not only be bad for the morale of the army, but also boost the morale of the Turks, and even, when the Turks understand the predicament faced by our Tang Dynasty, they may not be satisfied with plundering a few border towns, maybe they will directly join the army to go south, Directly enter Kou Chang'an City, when the time comes, even if they can't get under Chang'an City, but the losses they bring are not something that some food can solve, if the court really does this, it is no less than drinking water to quench thirst, and the consequences are endless. ”

As soon as Liu Renliang said this, he was instantly recognized by many officials, especially those generals who had led the troops, and they had a deep understanding.

"Yes, General Liu's words are reasonable, military affairs, Wei Xi and Rong, more than 100,000 soldiers in front are desperately fighting with the Tartar blood, we can't help, let's not talk about it, how can we drag them back at this time, so, don't say this kind of retreat, you Aiqing still talk about it, how can we solve the problem of grain transportation." At the critical moment, Wu Zetian said conclusively, in fact, it is no wonder that she decided to lead the troops to the expedition at the beginning, and now she will come back in disgrace in the middle of the war, which will make people all over the world think of her, and the people of the world don't care whether they withdraw their troops because of lack of food, they will only think that this woman is not as good as a man, and she can come back after half a battle, this kind of thing, Wu Zetian will not let it happen anyway.

It's a pity that in addition to excluding the most useful way to withdraw troops and return, even if the hundred officials racked their brains, they couldn't think of a way to let Chang'an City get a lot of food in a short period of time.

Although the dissolution of the dynasty was announced, none of the officials were happy, they all looked helpless, shook their heads and sighed and walked outside, everyone knew that if this matter could not be resolved, I am afraid that this will be the case in the future every day.

Today's court meeting, because the matter discussed is very urgent, so all the high-grade officials in Chang'an City came, as a county magistrate of Chang'an County, Duan Jian from the seven-grade official position of course can't run, but, after seeing everything that happened in the court today, just after the court, he ran out of the palace very quickly, and went to the south of the city as a carriage, he wanted to find someone, a person who could help him solve the current food shortage crisis in Chang'an City.
