King Beijing and Scholar Ji suddenly announced their marriage to the outside world, which made Chang'an feel very embarrassed.

She understood the intentions of the two of them, and it was for her sake.

Chang'an also hopes that his marriage to Jia Min will be decided as soon as possible. Because that's what she's been looking forward to.

However, at this time, it seems a little too abrupt to announce it to the outside world in this way.

Although Scholar Ji could represent his father as an elder, he did not communicate with the elders of the Jia family on this matter after all.

At the very least, you should communicate with Jia Min in advance.

At this time, it was announced to the outside world, and it was suspected of kidnapping Jia Min with a fait accompli.

This move will not only bring confusion to Jia Min, but may also make Jia Min's subordinates doubt Jia Min's motives for sending troops this time.

Although Jia Min has absolute control over the Beihai Volunteer Army, and also has a huge influence on South Wendura and North Wendula, this will inevitably make people think that Jia Min sent troops this time, just for the association of a woman in Chang'an.

If the war goes well, it may not have much of an impact. If the war does not go well, there are setbacks, or there are heavy casualties, this association may become a question about Jia Min.

Some people may wonder who they are fighting for.

If it comes to this point, the alliance between Chang'an and Jia Min may break down.

Once the alliance broke down, Chang'an would be isolated, and with her little strength, it would not be enough to compete with the three feudatories.

Although Chang'an was very annoyed by the actions of King Beijing and Scholar Ji, the two were entrusted by their father and came here with great difficulty, and they could be regarded as loyal.

After arriving here, the two kept writing letters, asking people to send them to their former acquaintances, persuading them to rise up against the three feudatories and assist Chang'an in the great cause.

Therefore, it is not easy for Chang'an to say anything.

Hearing that Baochai and others were coming, Chang'an felt that this was an opportunity. One is to take the opportunity to visit them, and the other is to explain the marriage euphemistically. I hope that the Jia family, for the sake of the people who had saved them before, will not blame themselves too much.

Besides, if he wants to marry Jia Min, he will have to deal with Baochai and others in the future. If the relationship with the Jia family and others is too tense, it will be a little embarrassing when Jia Min comes back in the future.

Chang'an took people to Guan Xiangtun and found that there was silence here, and there was a sense of foreboding in his heart.

In the past, before I got here, I could see smoke coming out of the chimney of the iron-making furnace from a distance, but today I don't even smoke anymore. There was no clanging in the ammunition factory. The soldiers of the Northern Navy, who were often seen on the streets before, are also gone.

When I arrived at the ammunition factory, I saw that there was silence and the gate was closed.

I asked the concierge to find out that this place has been discontinued.

The porter went in to report, and after a while, Dai Zhi came out.

"Old Dai Zhi has seen His Highness."

In the past, when Dai Zhi saw Chang'an, he was always very affectionate, and he bowed his hand to salute. Seeing Dai Zhi so solemn today, Chang'an's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Mr. Dai, why did the arsenal stop production? Could it be that something is going on? ”

"Back to Your Highness, there is currently a shortage of raw materials, and we are waiting for materials."

"Why is this so? Is there anything missing and do you need my help? ”

"Don't dare to work Your Highness, let's talk about it after Chief Min returns."

"I heard that Miss Xue is here, where are they now? What about Miaoyu and Daiyu? Why are they all gone? ”

"Miss Xue is here, and they are all gone again."

"All gone? Where did it go? ”

"I'm going to the Mogu Grassland."

"Why did you go there?"

"They've sent ammunition to Chief Min."

As soon as he heard that the ammunition was being delivered, Chang'an's heart twitched inexplicably, as if one hand was grasping it, and he felt a faint pain.

Only then did she realize that she had made a huge mistake: Why didn't I think to send ammunition to Chief Min?

"When did they leave?"

"I left yesterday, Jiao Li and Liu Chengdu followed, and I left the old man here to take care of the family."

"Zuo Linliang, you go back immediately, ask General Qu Shen to light up 2,000 soldiers and horses, prepare grain and grass, and start in two hours, and we will go after Miss Xue and them."

"Lichun, you go back first, summon Shui Rong, Ji Daxue, Luo Xingshan and Liu Huaide to wait for me, I have something important to discuss."

Zuo Linliang and Lichun agreed and left.

"Mr. Dai, if you still need ammunition in the future, it is better to continue to produce it. What raw materials do you need, you make a list for me, and I will ask someone to purchase them for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, Miss Xue has an explanation, and it will not be too late to start work when Chief Min returns. If they don't come back in the future, it's useless to start work again. By then, old decay would have destroyed the arsenal. ”

"Why can't Chief Min come back?"

"Your Highness, Chief Min is not an immortal, and without ammunition, even the few people under his command will die if they fall into the heavy encirclement of the Mogu army. Miss Xue, they were carrying ammunition and couldn't go fast. If His Highness has the heart to help, he can still catch up. The journey is dangerous, they are all a group of girls, there are only about 200 of them, and I hope His Royal Highness will think twice. ”

"Which route did they take?"

"Host."

"Thank you, Mr. Dai, farewell."

Chang'an returned to Shengjing City, and after a while, King Beijing, Ji Mingluan, Luo Xingshan, Liu Huaide and others arrived.

Chang'an is not polite, and goes straight to the point.

"We made a fatal mistake by ignoring the deal that the three feudatories made with the Mogu people."

"What does Your Highness mean ......?"

The water dissolves and has not yet reacted.

"The three feudal clans have reached a deal with the Mogu people, and the Mogu people will do their best to deal with Huaiyuan. Although the people of Huaiyuan are strong, they are alone and poorly supplied. If he ran out of ammunition, he would be in great danger. ”

Previously, Jia Min did say that there was no need for resupply.

But that was on the premise that they didn't know that the three feudal clans had reached an agreement with the Mogu people.

At that time, his combat goals were also limited, and he just wanted to defeat the Mogu people individually. It was a precautionary tactic.

However, now that the Mogu people have received a promise from the three feudatories, they will do their best to deal with Jia Min.

In such a situation, after Chang'an broke a little, everyone immediately understood the severity of the situation. If Jia Min is defeated, his side will definitely lose.

This truth is naturally understood by everyone.

"Now the people of Jiafu have gone to send ammunition to Huaiyuan, but they are few and weak, so I have to go to reinforce them. At home, you need to be on your guard. I estimate that before the winner of the Mogu people and Huaiyuan is decided, the three feudatories will not dare to fight back against us. ”

"Reinforcements should be, or I'll go, Your Highness shouldn't go to danger."

Liu Huaide came out to speak.

"It's better for me to go by myself, there are some things that I can talk about by myself."

"They went to deliver ammunition, why didn't they tell us?"

Ji Mingluan hasn't understood the trick yet.

Isn't it because you revealed your marriage?

Chang'an was a little annoyed, but finally suppressed it.

"I think there may be some misunderstanding here, it is better for His Highness to go in person than for us to go."

King Beijing understood Chang'an's intentions.

Everything was decided, and Chang'an came to the barracks.

General Qu Shen and others were directing the shipment of grain and grass, and Chang'an returned to his residence after watching it for a while.

Lichun was packing up, and Chang'an was uncomfortable staying in the house, so he went out again. A man stood outside the door, looked around, and only felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, so Shinbu walked out.

Dai Zhi's words deeply touched Chang'an.

She felt that she seemed to care too little about Jia Min.

I always felt that he was invincible before, and I didn't seem to pay much attention to the difficulties of Jia Min's war.

Not only himself, but also King Beijing, Ji Mingluan and others also have a blind optimism about Jia Min. It seems that there is some trouble, as soon as Jia Min comes forward, he will get rid of the disease.

Including himself, he now has a strong dependence on Jia Min.

Behind this dependence, there is a kind of psychology that Jia Min should take for granted whatever sacrifices he makes.

Is it really necessary for Jia Min to do all this for herself? Is he really indispensable to him? He is not even interested in the great virtue, and now he is the king of Beihai, why do you have to fight to the death with others?

His father has been suppressing him, and his brother is even more mediocre, so he listened to slander and copied Jiafu's house.

Although Huaiyuan said that this time it was to avenge his sister and uncle, with his strength, he could completely ignore the ancient Mogu people, go straight to the imperial capital, find the three feudatories for revenge, and then retreat to Beihai.

Now he is trying his best to help me, but it is just because he pleaded with the imperial brother at the beginning, saved his family, and returned me this favor.

This time, the Jia family went to deliver ammunition by themselves, and they didn't know that I was on my side, and the arsenal was out of production again, obviously they didn't trust me.

This is just like when my father abolished the army of the government, and their people immediately became polite and cold to me.

They don't treat me like their own anymore.

Huaiyuan didn't say anything about it, but there was a rift with the rest of the Jia family.

In their eyes, they probably regarded me as a person who didn't care about Huaiyuan's danger and stood by and watched.

King Beijing, Scholar Ji, you are really doing a disservice.

After everyone left, King Beijing and Scholar Ji stayed.

What Chang'an saw, they also saw.

"Are we really doing something wrong?"

Ji Mingluan was a little frustrated.

"We did the right thing, it was just a little bit wrong. Unexpectedly, the Jia family actually went to send ammunition to Huaiyuan by themselves, which is why they had a misunderstanding and acted like this. ”

"I hope Your Highness can explain it to them when you go."

"Scholar Ji is a little taken for granted, and this matter is really difficult to explain. With this incident, I am afraid that the two sides will have a disagreement from now on. ”

"At present, I have to see what Huaiyuan thinks. I only hope that Huaiyuan will be more magnanimous and generous for the sake of His Royal Highness who once saved the Jia family. ”

After a series of battles, the quality of Chang'an's soldiers and horses has also been greatly improved, and the preparations for grain and grass are also proceeding very quickly.

After lunch, the team departed.

In order to hide people's eyes, Chang'an women disguised themselves as men and mixed in the team. No officials came to see him off. The 2,000 cavalry left Shengjing City and headed for the direction of Red Mountain.

When I arrived at the outskirts, I saw messy ruts, which should be the traces of the Baochai convoy before.

Looking at these ruts, Chang'an secretly said in his heart: I hope it's still too late.
