On the other side, General Lu was packing up his bags, and the emperor gave him a time limit of seven days to go on the expedition, and within seven days, he must take care of all the trivial things at home, and then go to the battlefield.

Lu Yan has been very busy in the past few days, in addition to managing the big and small things at home, the contacts that he has finally gathered have to be checked all over again.

lest when he comes back again, those connections that he managed to contact will be scattered again.

"Look at what your daughter-in-law does, don't you care?" Li Qin sat on the side and looked at Lu Yan, who was busy, and asked curiously: "Your daughter-in-law is so powerful, don't you have any ideas in your heart as a husband?" ”

"What can you think?" Lu Yan asked rhetorically without raising his head: "My lady is naturally good at everything, everything is powerful, why do you need to put your beak in such a trivial matter?" ”

“…… Okay, okay, I can see clearly, you two are such thick-skinned people. “

Li Qin was speechless, looking at the person in front of him, he didn't expect him to answer like this, and he didn't want to return it without any face.

What's wrong? Isn't it great to have a family? Can having a family despise those who don't? He is already very sad for a bachelor who has not married a lady at such an age, and he always feels that he has been secretly ridiculed.

But the key is that there is nothing wrong with what people say, even if they want to refute, they don't seem to have a way to say it, but if they say it, they will seem to be very unreasonable.

Tsk, he really deserves to be a resourceful general, and his little mind is still no match for others!

"Okay, okay, I see, you two are very smart, okay?" Li Qin reluctantly compromised.

In order not to hurt his young mind again, he simply stopped mentioning this and said, "How are you doing now?" Does the emperor have any other instructions, such as how much grain and grass do you have when you go to march and fight this time, how are the military horses, and what are the military equipment? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Li Tan's words were to the point, Lu Yan finally diverted his attention at this time, raised his head, looked at the person in front of him with a slight sneer on his face and said: "Even if the emperor says these things, what's the use, the emperor won't really help me urge these things, or I have to urge myself." ”

"Then you went to urge it yourself, what was the result?"

"How can it not be like that, a bunch of old fritters know how to kick the ball, kick around, one moment say that this is not their own care, and another time they say that it is not their own care, I really don't know what the use of the court sent them a fortune, what did they do?" century

"Well, it's a lot harder!"

Although Li Qin had already guessed the situation, it might be like this, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"By the way, the matter of your request to go on the expedition was planned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the difficulties you are encountering now on the Prince's side will not do anything, right, he will intervene and help him or something." Li Qin suddenly remembered this problem, and said: "After all, if you return victorious, the prestige of the prince's side will also rise greatly, and it is reasonable that the prince will get the greatest benefit in the end, and he should not ignore you for these things." ”

Lu Yan nodded after hearing these words, but the expression on his face still did not ease much and said: "What disadvantages have I encountered in the march and war, the prince's side is naturally the most anxious, but what is the use of being anxious?" ”

"In addition to me being busy here these days, the strategists on the prince's side have not stopped for a moment, and His Royal Highness the prince has also negotiated with the people on the household side, although the expected results have not been achieved, but some have been more or less won over, but how can such a little bit be enough?"

Lu Yan said that he was tired for a long time, pinched his brows, and said a little tiredly: "Most of the battles in the South China Sea are carried out at sea, so it is essential to have a few strong military ships, and the sea is humid and the wind and waves are strong, and warm clothes are also indispensable, not to mention that the soldiers practice marching and fighting all day long, this food must not be deducted, and all aspects must be considered." ”

"But what can I do if I think about all these aspects, now that the treasury is empty, there is not so much money to do the best, and I can only barely maintain it, and the Tobe Shilang also gave a deadline, saying that the war must be ended within three months, that is to say, I must win this war in three months, and drive those Japanese robbers back to their own places, so that they do not dare to attack again, otherwise as soon as the three-month period passes, the soldiers in the South China Sea will be short of food and food."

Although three months were given, Lu Yan was confident that he could win the war within the time limit, but he had no way to guard against all kinds of situations from the rear.

Not to mention the credibility of the Tobe squire, if he did not keep his promise to give himself a three-month period, but before the three-month deadline arrived, he began to cut off the supply of grain and grass, this war would have been even more difficult.

This aspect of human affairs is sophisticated, and he has to think so much about being a general, how can he not be upset?

After Li Qin heard what he said, he nodded very understandingly, patted his shoulder, and said with some sympathy: "It's not easy, but General Lu come on, General Lu is the famous god of war in my Great Zhou Dynasty, these things are not difficult for you." ”

"Come on, you have to keep the good words, and I'll talk about it later, it's useless to say so early." Lu Yan slapped his hand away, rolled his eyes, and said: "It doesn't matter if I'm busy here, but you can't drop the chain for me over there, you must protect my wife well, and you must not let her be threatened in any way, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to threaten me with Si Si, as long as it is detrimental to Si Si's safety, you will act immediately, even if it is a tear point with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"As long as I come back, all of this will be solved."

Lu Yan also listened to the words of the people around him just now, and he also had a lot of calculations in his heart, since the queen mother had agreed to cooperate, then his chances of winning would be three points more, as long as things went well, it would not be difficult to bring down His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time.
