Chapter 247: Supply from the Two Countries
Chapter 247: Supply from the Two Countries
Annam Pass!
Compared with the warm sun of Chang'an, the environment of Nan'an County is relatively harsh.
The clouds are like smoke, and the rain is like scattered silk!
The drizzle, dripping raindrops, falling from the sky, the dark and heavy sky, enveloping the entire Nan'an County, but also shrouded the Annan Pass.
In the rain, the 100,000 Yuejia troops still stuck to their posts, wearing robes, holding spears, looking around vigilantly, even if it was close to the end of the year, they did not dare to relax.
On the city tower, Yue Fei and Meng Heng both stroked their swords with their right hands, and looked at Qi Tianhouguo's military camp through the cold rain.
During this time, it is raining and the New Year is approaching, so you must strengthen your defenses and not be exploited by the people of the net. ”
Yue Fei said, his eyes were worried, he always felt that something bad was happening.
"General, you can rest assured! Annan Pass, after several months of reinforcement and with the help of soldiers, demons and gods, has become as stable as Mount Tai. ”
Meng Heng smiled, very confident, seeing that around the pass, there were Dao cards, high sentry posts, and all kinds of traps.
In front of the city wall, there is a deep ditch, with inverted blades and bamboo tubes, connecting the city, and if people get close, they will smell alcohol.
Obviously, there is no mystery inside!
"Even so, you can't be careless, there will be a war next year, at this critical moment, if there is a mistake, you and I are Tang sinners. ”
Seeing that Meng Hui was too confident, Yue Fei warned that a wise man would make a mistake if he had a thousand thoughts!
"Hmm!"
Meng Heng nodded, mentioning his spirit, being called a master of defense, he must have something extraordinary.
At this time, at the corner of the city tower, a Yue family soldier was climbing the stairs, with martial spirit strength, and between two breaths, he was standing on the city tower.
"Report to the general, according to the scout, in Nan'an County, there is a team to escort the baht, and there is also the imperial envoy in the palace. ”
After the soldier ran up, he knelt on one knee, panted and said, I don't know if he was excited or tired!
Yue Fei and Meng Hui glanced at each other, and four words appeared in their eyes, Supply Mission!
"Order, mobilize the fifth lieutenant soldiers, and go to meet them. ”
After reacting, Yue Fei hurriedly ordered, and after a while, five thousand cavalry drove out of the Annan Pass, stopped five miles in the north, and waited quietly.
There was joy in the eyes of all the soldiers, looking at the void that connected the sky, and implying anticipation.
Finally, after an hour, a team appeared in the distant sky, advancing in a serpentine shape.
Some sharp-eyed people saw that above the team, two big flags were held high, and above the flags, Tang and Yu were written!
All armies, walking in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, must wave the Tang flag, otherwise they will be regarded as enemy troops and will be killed.
And special armies, such as the palace legations, the army personally managed by the king, can wave the imperial flag and have certain privileges.
When you walk in, you will find that the leader is a four-rank eunuch, as well as a general, followed by a continuous procession.
Every two soldiers drove a carriage, and the top of the carriage was covered with a layer of cloth, and it was unknowable.
"Annan Pass, Yue's army takes the order!"
The eunuch turned over and dismounted, greeted the people, took out the king's decree, and read it aloud:
"Tang Wangling, the Yuejia army in Annan Pass, defending the country to defend the country and guarding the border, is a great achievement, there is a merit of the community, and all the Yuejia army should be rewarded!"
"After the discussion of the court, the Yue family army will be rewarded, 300,000 taels of gold, 100,000 horses of cloth, and 50,000 quintals of high-quality grain and grass to comfort the meritorious army, admire this!"
The eunuch read the Tao, and the more he read, the more frightened he became, and everyone listened to it, and became more and more excited.
300,000 gold, 100,000 troops of the Yue family's army, divided equally, each person also has three taels, enough for the family to spend for two years.
100,000 pieces of cloth, which is not precious, but the army training, clothes are often damaged, and these cloths can alleviate this crisis.
What excites them the most is 50,000 high-quality grain and grass, which is definitely an unexpected surprise for them.
What is high-quality grain and grass?
The grain and grass grown in Lingtian are called high-quality grain and grass, and he also has another name, called Lingmi!
This kind of rice has an auxiliary effect on the cultivation of martial artists, because when swallowed into the body, it can be directly transformed into aura.
And in powerful countries, such as the Imperial Dynasty, the nation's powerful soldiers, and even the common people, all take Lingmi, so the strength will increase rapidly.
And the spiritual rice is also graded, the top spiritual rice, even if you eat one grain, you can turn an ordinary person into a martial artist.
Looking at the whole country of Datang, the spiritual rice planted in a year does not exceed 200,000 quintals, which is still the lowest spiritual rice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! The Yue family army swore to the death and defended the Tang Dynasty. ”
Under the leadership of Yue Fei, all the Yue family troops said loudly, the voice was so loud that it spread all over the ten miles, and the voice revealed firmness.
"General Yue, don't let down the king's trust in you!"
The eunuch nodded, put Wang Zhi in Yue Fei's hand, and said with a smile.
"Father-in-law Wei rest assured, for Ben will tell the king that the people are in the pass, the people are not there, and the pass is still there!"
Yue Fei said, holding the holy decree in his hand, looking in the direction of Chang'an, and saluting deeply.
"Haha, the general's words, the miscellaneous family must convey it, we still hand over the military supplies now, and see if there is anything missing. ”
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers escorting the quartermaster hurriedly lifted the cloth on the carriage, revealing the contents inside.
"Wow!"
All the Yue family soldiers couldn't help but exclaim, what they saw in front of them was really shocking!
Thousands of pieces of gold, placed on dozens of carriages, are shining gold, which is very eye-catching.
Cloths of different colors, looking at their color, material, and brightness, you can know that these fabrics are very sophisticated and expensive.
The last spiritual rice is one or two times larger than ordinary rice, full of grains, lingering aura, emitting fluorescence, and is very beautiful.
Even if it is smoke and rain, it can't hide its luster!
"Go and see, if there is no problem, send it back to Annan Pass!"
Yue Fei ordered, 5,000 Yuejia troops, immediately stepped forward to check, and after confirming that it was correct, they were transported back to Annan Pass.
At this time, the Qi Tianhou State Military Camp also ushered in a condolence mission, which was a team of 10,000 people, escorting a large number of supplies.
But the supplies brought were not very satisfactory.
"Waiting for the Lord's order, the border soldiers, hard work and high achievements, reward 400,000 taels of gold, 1 million quintals of grain and grass, 10,000 quintals of spiritual rice, Qin this!"
When the eunuch of Qi Tianhou finished reciting the king's decree in his hand, the whole army was boiling!
This boiling, not agitation, but complaining.
"Why, the same guards the border, why is the supply of the Tang soldiers so high, but we are so little. ”
"That is, the court is too stingy, and the New Year's supply, a candidate country, is not as much as an ordinary country. ”
"In my opinion, there are only two reasons for the supply, either we are greedy, or the court does not pay attention to us. ”
"We protect our family and defend the country, but the court is doing this to us, which is too chilling!"
“............”
Almost all the soldiers are complaining, especially the specific supplies sent back to the Tang Kingdom by the scouts, and their psychology is even more unbalanced!
Hundreds of thousands of people complained together, and the sound spread for dozens of miles, so that the eunuchs who read the king's decree turned pale.
