Chapter 151: Grain Requisition
Rong Shao was really furious when he heard this, remade the table case again, raised his voice and said: "Mr. is too worried, General Ben led all the soldiers to throw their heads and blood for Haoyue Country at the border pass, how could the emperor blame General Ben for such a trivial matter?" As for those who have bad intentions, he~ General Ben wants to see who dares to talk about General Ben's rights and wrongs in front of the emperor! ”
"Sir" disagreed: "The general's words are wrong, and those civil servants in the DPRK and China have already complained about you. Now that I have caught your mistake, I will inevitably refer to you in front of the emperor. ”
In this regard, Rong Shao didn't care at all, and sneered: "Just because that group of Wenchen who knows how to fight for power and profit all day long, and have no military power in their hands, also want to bring down General Ben?" It's really overwhelming. Not to mention that now is the time when the emperor needs this general to open up territory for him, even if he doesn't need this general now, as long as this general has military power in hand, the emperor wants to move this general, and he has to think twice. ”
"Sir" added: "Looking at it from below, more things are better than less things, and it is better for the general to act cautiously." ”
Rong Shao raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "Sir, don't forget that this is a military camp, and the military camp is full of people from this general." General Ben forgave them and did not dare to reveal half a word about today's affairs, but the issue of grain and grass is the most important thing we should worry about now. ”
"Sir" saw that Rong Shao did not listen to persuasion, so he stopped thinking about continuing to persuade him, and followed his words: "Now that Haoyue and Chiyan share grain and grass, there will be no problems for the time being. However, if time goes by and our army's food and grass have not yet arrived, contradictions will indeed inevitably arise. ”
Rong Shao twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Then according to Mr. Ir, what should we do now?" ”
"Sir" proposed: "The imperial city is far away from the border pass, and now it is reported to the imperial court, and it is far away from quenching the thirst of the near. The quickest way to obtain food and grass is to collect grain from the people in the vicinity. ”
"It's not a hurry now, General Rongben thinks again." Rong Shao's brows furrowed.
The so-called collection of grain from the people in the vicinity is to collect grain from the people nearby, and to say that it is to rob the grain of the people nearby.
Although this method is the fastest way to obtain grain and grass, it is also very easy to lose the support of the people.
Since the Jimo Dynasty, there has never been any grain levied from any of the people during the war.
The founding lords of the four kingdoms were all great generals of the Jimo Dynasty.
As a result, Shikoku has continued this rule.
If he set this precedent, once this matter is spread, it will not only lose his face, but also the face of Hao Yueguo.
"Sir" lowered his eyes slightly, and said faintly: "General, these more than 100,000 people have to eat and drink, and it is impossible for the Red Flame Country to always provide for our soldiers, and there is not much time left for us." ”
"Sir" means nothing more than between losing face and starving to death, always having to choose one.
Rong Shao struggled again, and finally stubbornly said: "Then according to what Mr. said, let's collect grain from the people nearby!" Remember, you can only collect food from the people of Cangming and Qianli countries, and you must not touch the food of the people of Haoyue and Chiyan countries. ”
"Yes, I will command it below." The corners of "Sir" hooked slightly, and he immediately left the tent, not giving Rong Shao a chance to regret it.
As soon as "Sir" left, Rong Shao collapsed weakly on the chair.
If the people of the nearby Cangming Kingdom and Qianli Kingdom want to blame, go and blame the damn Xie Hongchang!
At such a critical juncture, as the commander of the Sixth Army, he can only make this choice!
