Gu Yunjiao couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there not many forbidden troops in the capital?" ”

As far as she knew, although the Great Chu Forbidden Army claimed to be hundreds of thousands, these hundreds of thousands were distributed all over the country.

The forbidden army in the capital is known as the palace army, which is considered the elite army of Dachu, but it is only 80,000 or 90,000 people, and now it is half divided, and it depends on 40,000 people to defend the city?

Mrs. Wu nodded, "There are only about 40,000 troops in front of the palace, but the capital is firmly built, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and 40,000 people to defend the city is enough." ”

Gu Yunjiao said in a low voice: "Mother, shouldn't we make some preparations." ”

When it comes to fighting, if nothing else, we must first ensure survival, food or something, indispensable.

Mrs. Wu also thought of something with Gu Yunjiao, "No, the grain stored in the granary in the house is enough to eat for a year or two." ”

"There is no shortage of food in the capital, but it is besieged-"

She stopped talking, she felt a little unlucky to say it.

"In short, let's take a look again, don't rush to buy food, our family has enough food to eat, no matter how much we buy, we can't eat, why bother making those people can't buy it."

Gu Yunjiao nodded.

After leaving the main courtyard, she thought about it, she still had to make some preparations, and she was not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

All her money is stored in the medicine storehouse, just buy some food and put it in.

No matter how much food there is in the Guogong Mansion, it is better to put it in her medicine depot for insurance.

She thought about it for a while, and decided to get some salt-fried beef and fried small fish that she made for Jiang Youzhi last time, and put them in the medicine warehouse after they were cooked, and they wouldn't spoil for a long time.

It's just that there are many people in the Guogong Mansion, and it's not easy to get it.

The next day, Gu Yunjiao went to Renxin Hall again.

First, he sent the manservant who was a handyman at home to buy some rice and flour and let him put it at the Gu family's house.

Then he sent Mrs. Tian to buy beef and fish.

Mrs. Tian went on a trip and came back and said, "I didn't have beef today, I only bought some small fish." ”

Gu Yunjiao didn't say anything, waited for Mrs. Tian to deal with the small fish, and carried it to the Gu family.

This side has almost become Gu Yunjiao's warehouse, usually only the dumb uncle is there, Gu Yunjiao sent the girls far away, salted a basket of small fish, and fried them in the oil pot.

I tasted it myself, and it tasted pretty good.

She made a jar and put the small fish into the space, came out and gave the dumb uncle a few pieces of broken silver, took the small fish and compared it with the dumb uncle for a long time, and motioned him to buy some small fish every day and come back to deal with it, waiting for her to get it.

The dumb uncle nodded, indicating that he understood.

The next day, Gu Yunjiao then asked Mrs. Tian to buy beef and pork.

After buying it, Gu Yunjiao took it to the Gu family to make dried pork and salt-fried beef.

After several days, Gu Yunjiao took the trouble to do it every day, and there were many jars with dried meat and small fish in the medicine storehouse.

In the evening of this day, Gu Yunjiao went home, and it was time to accompany Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Wu to dinner today, but Grandpa Guo was mostly absent, these days, he went out early and returned late, and Gu Yunjiao hadn't seen him for half a month.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, I saw Mrs. Wu frowning and biting her lower lip.

Gu Yunjiao hurriedly said, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Wu saw Gu Yunjiao, took her hand, and said with a solemn expression: "The news that came this morning is that the Marquis of Wu'an has been martyred, and the 40,000 palace troops have all been wiped out. ”

Gu Yunjiao was shocked, "This-"

Lin Shuo was still in Xiangcheng at this time, and he should not know the news of his father's martyrdom.

She sat down and looked at Mrs. Wu, "The army of the Jin Kingdom—"

Mrs. Wu's face was very ugly, "It is estimated that she will arrive in the capital in a few days!" ”
