Chapter 44: In Time

Regarding Mr. Jiang's scolding, Zhang Huan smiled silently, and Mr. He could get nothing but a bad reputation.

Jiang Yuanfeng became more and more depressed, he threw Baizi on the chessboard and admitted defeat,

"One more game, a certain unbelief can't win the battle with dignity,"

Liu Yue smiled.

At this time, Zhang Huan obediently accepted the chess pieces, Mr. Jiang guessed the black chess, he was in Tianyuan first, Liu Yue signaled Zhang Huan to play first for him, he wanted to see how Zhang Huan was laid out.

Zhang Huan honestly began to lay out, because you hit yours and I hit mine, so the two sides quickly passed a dozen hands, and it was time for class, and the chessboard was over.

At this time, Yanzhou is peaceful, at least on the outside, the army of deputy managers is outside from Xiazhou at the southeast foot of Hengshan across Xiayan Avenue, a sentence captured Youzhou at the western foot of Hengshan Mountain, and the soldiers are directed at Yanzhou, at this time the army has been killed from the Xiangyou Military Division in the east, the Shenyong Military Division in the left chamber to the Western Xia Jianing Military Division more than 100 miles in the west, and the tens of thousands of troops of the West Thieves have been defeated in a row, and the good news is frequent, so the Yanyan Road is quite optimistic, and it is said that it has not been a big victory in ten years.

But in the Yamen of the Economic Strategy Division, it is a different scene.

"My lord, Li Ji This is the third urgent report sent by Li Ji, Gu Yan The army has gone deep into the enemy's territory, the grain road is too long, the requisitioned mules and horses are insufficient, the box army is advancing westward with the army, the people are not enough, and the military grain is difficult to transport, and the deputy head of the seed has sent several urgent reports, the army is short of grain, and it is impossible to continue to go deep into the summer realm, and it is said that Li Ji is not good for transporting grain, so that the army is unable to move westward, saying that he will punish this national thief,"

Liu Ziyu, the staff member who was involved in the text, twisted his beard, and Liu Ziyu's face was solemn at this time.

"Yes, Dong Weng, I feel that I am making excuses, but in fact I am blaming others, but Li Ji has encountered a big problem, I am afraid that it will not be able to be delivered,"

Zhang Yun, another staff member who was slightly chubby and beardless, stared at these letters and whispered,

"It seems that one of the two is already short of food, the other is unable to transport, and the army will collapse if there is no food.

Shen Kuo, who was standing in front of the window and looking into the distance, was speechless for a long time, and the two staff members behind him looked at each other.

"The worst possibility is that if more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are defeated and returned, what will the official family and Zai Fu do with the Economic Strategy Division?"

Shen Kuo finally turned around and said.

Sure enough, Liu Ziyu, who knew that his proprietor was a person, knew that Shen Kuo had the worst considerations at the beginning, this was actually a non-responsible move, not like a decisive commander all the way, but this was his proprietor, and he couldn't help it.

"This depends on the actions of the Economic Strategy Division, if we do our best to supply military rations and manpower without the slightest delay, then if the transfer cannot be carried out, it is Li Ji's duty."

Liu Ziyu hinted that he would fully cooperate, if things were wrong, wouldn't there be Li Ji, the transfer of Yan Yanlu, who would make this big wrong, just push it to him.

"Yes, the emperor still favors the lord, I believe that he will not be too harsh, at most demote the official ranks,"

Zhang Yundao, he didn't mention Zai Fu at all, because his own proprietor offended the new party and the old party, with this opportunity, how could Wang Qi and others give up, and Shen Kuo was able to take charge of one side by being diligent in political affairs in the past.

Shen Kuo weighed it for a long time,

"Ordered Yan Yanlu to recruit all the united, strong, and archers to go to Luowu City, and return them to Li Ji's command, so that he could supervise the transportation of grain and grass to the camp as soon as possible,"

"My lord, are the guards in the road too thin in this way?"

Zhang Yun hesitated.

Originally, he went out to fight, and took away almost all the Xiang army and the forbidden army, and now the guards everywhere rely on these archers to be strong, if they are drawn out again, at this time, the western thieves are partial to the division, and they capture several villages, then the Yan Road is in danger,

"If something happens, the Jingshi will be furious,"

"Is there any other way for this official now, if the grain and grass are not enough, before the western thieves come to attack, the army has been destroyed, how to protect the territory, give an order,"

Shen Kuo sighed.

"Order all cities and villages to strengthen patrols and investigations, and report immediately if there is an attack by thieves from the west, and those who delay the military plane will not be killed."

Shen Kuo finally said a murderous sentence.

There was silence in the room, before this war, I am afraid that no one would have thought that Yan Yan Road had reached such a situation, no, the five roads had reached such a situation, and Yan Yan Road was like this, and there was no reason for other roads to be without food shortage.

If it is said that the imperial court and the emperor in Beijing still have the illusion of pacifying the Western Xia, they who are on the front line no longer have the slightest confidence, and in their opinion, it is a blessing in misfortune that several large armies can return to the station safely.

"I never thought that kid would be in a word, isn't it strategizing,"

Liu Ziyu sighed.

"Yes, if you have such insight at a young age, you will indeed be very human in the future,"

Zhang Yun nodded.

Shen Kuo's eyes moved slightly,

Shen Kuo returned to the back, and his wife Zhang asked the maid to serve the food, and the family had dinner together.

"My son, why haven't I seen you go out for a few days,"

Zhang, who is always unapologetic on weekdays, only smiles when he faces his son Shen Qingzhi.

"Back to my mother, I recently returned home because of something happening to the big and the planter Min, so I have a lot of leisure,"

Shen Qingzhi has been personally taught by the Zhang family since he was a child, and he is strict with etiquette, but he is too one-sided.

"It's okay for those vulgar people to move around less,"

Shen Kuo said, he thought that a few people were very close to Shen Qingzhi, and there may not be no other ideas in them, and Shen Qingzhi was too straightforward like his name, and he was probably not the opponent of several people.

"My son is studying at home, you are complacent, let him go out and walk more, he has made a few friends, you say that it is unbearable to make friends, what do you want,"

Zhang's face sank.

This Xu Xian is so domineering, who let her father help a lot in Shen Kuo's career in the palace, and the Zhang family is also very confident.

Shen Kuo didn't dare to look at her face at all, he was afraid that the two would quarrel on the spot, since he always lost in the end, why bother himself, but Shen Qingzhi is also his son, he still has to say what he should say,

"Qingzhi, I think Zhang Huan is a good person, he can be literate and martial, has long-term vision, and is not an ordinary student, you can get close to him more,"

"What Daddy said is that I have this intention, I heard him talk about the Three Kingdoms the day before yesterday, and I have gained a lot, but I have only met him twice,"

Honest boy Shen Qing said straight, after listening to the Three Kingdoms twice, he realized in his heart, he found that Zhang Huan said that the Three Kingdoms, although it is a combination of fiction and reality, so that some people do not like it, but it is a good person, and he has a lot of wisdom, he has always had an idea in his heart to talk to Zhang Huan, but how to talk is a problem.

He is a relatively cold person, and the few people he interacts with are all found by himself for some purposes.

Well, this Shen Qingzhi has a bit of social phobia, it doesn't matter if he is familiar, but how to approach the living is a problem, and then Zhang Huan is not on good terms with Li Qi, Seed Master Min and others, which also makes him a little discouraged.

The Zhang family was just about to refute Shen Kuo, but her son also agreed that she didn't say much for the time being, but at this time she said disdainfully.

"My son is noble, who dares to be so ignorant,"

"Qingzhi, you are my son of Shen Kuo, he doesn't dare to despise you, I'll call him tomorrow,"

Shen Kuo was rare domineering at this time.

Zhang nodded, and at this point she and her husband finally became in harmony with her husband.
