Ye Shaolong knew that there would never be a shortage of food in the army, if there was not much, he could first return the food donated by the people in the army, so that the immediate urgency could be solved.

Tang Feifei shook his head and explained: "I have already sent someone to ask Brother Li about the military rations, and there is not much grain in the capital at present. There is still some available here in Baoding City, and it is not known how much is left in Tianjin City. ”

It is a fact that the capital had gathered the largest number of soldiers and horses before, so it used more food. But there is no war at present, and if there is surplus food, it is completely possible to divert it first.

After Ye Shaolong thought about it, he said to Tang Feifei: "You send people to the capital to get food now, and the people must be pacified first." Tell Li Chengke that as long as the grain and grass are left for half a month, it will be enough, and the rest will be pulled to Yejiabao. ”

Su Xiaocao said worriedly: "Wouldn't this make the army have the risk of having no food available?" ”

Ye Shaolong smiled bitterly: "Then there is no other way, I hope that there will be no problems if Tianjin City does not need to fight anymore." ”

Although the current food and grass of the Yejiabao army is tight after all, it has not yet reached the worst time, as long as it survives this month. When there is a harvest in the field, there will be no more worries about grain and grass.

Tang Feifei also felt that this was the only way feasible at present, so she nodded and agreed.

Ye Shaolong then got up and said to the second daughter: "In order to ensure the safety of Tianjin City, I will leave for a trip now, and the affairs of Yejiabao will be handed over to you." ”

Su Xiaocao and Tang Feifei nodded together, Ye Shaolong returned a smile, and watched the second daughter leave.

Then he ordered Xiao Dashan to prepare horses for him, and by the way, he gathered dozens of personal guards. Ye Shaolong hurriedly went back to his room to change his clothes, and then came to the door of the mansion.

Xiao Dashan personally led Ye Shaolong's mount, and dozens of personal guards were already ready. After Ye Shaolong turned over and got on his horse, he immediately set off to leave Baoding City.

Xiao Dashan personally sent them outside the city gate for this reason, until Ye Shaolong and their figures disappeared from sight, and then rushed back to the city to help the two ladies move back to the people.

Although Tianjin City was facing the possibility of being attacked, it was still calm at this moment as if nothing had happened. From top to bottom, both the petty soldiers and the admirals seem to have completely ignored the Dutch navy docked off the coast.

Su Can and Lin Biao received Stern Haoran in the evening, and he was obviously the one who led the Dutch Navy this time. In order for the Dutch Navy to dock at Tianjin Port, he did not hesitate to risk his life and personally came to negotiate with Su Can and them.

However, Su Can and Lin Biao had already heard that Ye Shaolong was halfway there, so the two only received Stern Haoran without talking to him about anything.

The three of them were relatively silent, all waiting for Ye Shaolong's arrival. Only Ye Shaolong can make up his mind about Stern Haoran, and no one else can replace him.

In this regard, Ste Haoran understood in his heart that he did not pester Su Can or Lin Biao. And the real purpose of his trip was to get back a few warships lent to the Yejiabao Army first!

This is what Sterhaoran urgently needs to solve at the moment, if he doesn't get the loaned warship back. Once Ye Shaolong uses these ships to fight with him, it will definitely be the Netherlands who will win or lose.

In the anxious waiting, Ye Shaolong finally came, and this guy received a notice from Su Can on the way to send out a fast horse. After learning that Stern Haoran was waiting for him, he deliberately slowed down his hurry, and arrived an hour late.

Foreigners have always attached great importance to their concept of time, and Ye Shaolong's late arrival was an hour late, and Ster Haoran naturally didn't like it. For him, this is also likely to mean that Ye Shaolong is already a person who does not keep his promises.

Such an omen is obviously very unfavorable to Stern Haoran, although he is angry in his heart at this moment, but in order to be able to smoothly return the loaned warship, he can only choose to be patient for the time being.

Ye Shaolong strode into the lobby, his face was full of hypocritical smiles, and when he saw Stern Haoran for the first time, he laughed: "Mr. Haoran, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I'm really sorry that I'm delayed on the way because of some things." ”

If this were in normal times, Ste Haoran would definitely throw his hands and leave, as for this moment, he could only be dumb and suffer from eating Coptis chinensis.

Trying to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, Ste Haoran was stunned and squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, and said, "Ye Shuai should be too busy just now." ”

"Thank you, Brother Haoran for your understanding, come, come, sit!" Ye Shaolong smiled and politely said.

Stern Haoran sat back as he said, and immediately spoke: "Ye Shuai, I came here this time to talk to you about ......." ”

Ye Shaolong didn't let Stern Haoran finish his words at all, and immediately stopped him and said, "Eh, it's rare for Brother Haoran to come here, and I couldn't greet Brother Haoran properly last time because of the war." This time I should do my best to be a landlord! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Ster Haoran to agree, he immediately gave Su Can a look, and then ordered: "Brother Su, you are too bad, it is rare for Mr. Stern Haoran to come once, why do you sit dryly like this, and I don't know how to get some good wine and good food to greet." ”

Su Can received Ye Shaolong's call, knowing that he was going to disgust Ster Haoran, so he was naturally very cooperative: "Hahaha, look at my head, I just forget about talking about this stubble." It's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong, and now I'm going to tell the kitchen. ”

Stern Haoran frowned, and was about to speak, but Ye Shaolong took the lead again: "Go, go, remember to send the wine first." ”

"Okay, Dashuai! Wait a minute! Su Can stepped back with a smile.

Stern finally waited for the gap, opened his mouth and said: "Ye Shuai doesn't have to bother, in fact, I came this time to talk to you about ......." ”

Ye Shaolong didn't give Stern Haoran a chance at all, and immediately said, "Brother Haoran, you won't even let me do my landlord's goodness." If there is something to talk about later, why should you rush for this time and a half. ”

was forcibly interrupted by Ye Shaolong twice, even if Ste Haoran didn't understand it anymore, he was a little stunned at the moment. Ye Shaolong obviously didn't want to talk to him about anything.

After some hesitation, Sterhao lowered his face and said seriously: "I want to talk to you about a few warships." ”

This time, Ste Haoran didn't give Ye Shaolong a chance to interrupt him at all, and finished the question in one breath.

A trace of unhappiness flashed on Ye Shaolong's face, but he quickly hid it again, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Haoran wants to talk about it in advance, then we might as well talk about it." ”

Finally seeing that Ye Shaolong faced the problem head-on, Ste Haoran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "This is the best!" ”
