As soon as Ji Rongshan walked out of the general's tent, he was stopped by the adjutant in charge of grain and grass.

"Ji Jiangjun, can you tell the general about the serious shortage of grain and grass? If the DPRK and China don't allocate food, our soldiers will run out of food! ”

The adjutant looked anxious, and his eyes were bruised.

The sides of the cheeks, which used to be round, are now sunken with two holes.

Ji Rongshan turned around and glanced at the general's camp tent, and asked in a low voice.

"How much longer?"

"Since the general transferred food to the front again, our camp has been reduced from two meals a day to one meal a day. Moreover, I ate porridge for three days and swallowed bran for four days, and I was able to eat rice for only one day. But even if it were, it would only last for another three days at most. General, we've really run out of ammunition. ”

The adjutant's expression was sad, as if he was about to cry out in the next moment.

Ji Rongshan sank his face, "Go buy it again!" In any case, the soldiers must not be allowed to go hungry! ”

"Yes...... You can't buy it at all! You can't just grab it! When will the imperial court allocate food to us? ”

Ji Rongshan did not speak.

If he knew, it wouldn't be the way it is now.

"Otherwise, let's tell the general the truth. He is in a high position of power, and he may be able to speak in front of the new prince. It's really not good, so let's ...... Defect to the rich Dongzhou? ”

The adjutant tentatively said an idea, but it immediately attracted a burst of angry rebuke from Ji Rongshan.

"What nonsense are you talking about? For the sake of a mouthful of food, you can't even figure out your position? Do you want to be a thief? ”

The adjutant hurriedly stopped.

But he didn't say it, in fact, the two of them knew it very well in their hearts.

During this period of time, many military camps have successively thrown themselves into the camp with a better chance of winning. And the more than 8,000 people in their camp have never moved.

In addition to the daily high-intensity drills, it is to arrange troops and wait for orders.

The most important thing is that it is said to be a military camp of the imperial court, but it cannot be divided into decent winter clothes and weapons.

Nowadays, even the amount of food you can eat is shrinking.

The soldiers whispered in private that the new prince was embattled and took care of himself.

The imperial court had no extra food to distribute to them.

"Don't let me hear anyone in the camp say such things again. Otherwise, military law is waiting! ”

After putting down the cruel words, Ji Rongshan turned around and returned to the general's tent.

In front of the sand table, Qiao Xin was deducing the possibility of a surprise attack at Baitu Pass.

Seeing Ji Rongshan going and returning, he hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Rongshan walked in hard, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"General, we don't have much food left."

Qiao Xin was a little surprised, "Isn't there already someone going to the private procurement?" ”

"Yes! But now that the price of rice and grain is soaring, many grain traders have chosen to hoard grain and not sell it. ”

"How can it be!" Qiao Xin slapped on the wooden pole on the sand table, "Hasn't the application for grain and grass submitted to the imperial court last month been approved?" ”

Ji Rongshan lowered his head, "No." ”

I'm just afraid that the new prince has really forgotten about them.

Just when Qiao Xin was anxious and fruitless, there was a sudden rush from outside the tent.

"General! General! A convoy came from outside the barracks. ”

Qiao and Ji quickly walked out of the tent.

"What's going on?" Ji Rongshan asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but it was the brother at the outpost at the front who ordered him to return to the camp. It was said that there were dozens of wagons heading towards our camp. ”

Qiao Xin took his spear from his hand, raised his foot and walked towards the gate, while ordering.

"Three regiments, unbridled regiments on alert! The others don't move, I'll go and see for myself. ”

When Qiao Xin and the others arrived at the gate, they saw one after another loaded wagons driving into the camp.

The one in charge of leading the way was the commander of the Sixth Regiment who was in charge of patrolling the outpost today.

His face was flushed with joy, and he walked in a hurry.

"Great, General! Someone has brought us food! ”

When Qiao Xin and Ji Rongshan heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise.

At this scale, is it because the imperial court has allocated grain?

But looking at the style of this carriage and horse, it doesn't look like it.

The two hurriedly walked down the tower and opened the gate of the barracks.

"Old horse, what's going on?" Ji Rongshan took the lead in asking Ma Dongming, the head of the sixth regiment.

Commander Ma didn't know the inside story, so he had to push Ye Dongliang forward.

"This is the big shopkeeper of Ming Ji, and he said that he was ordered by their Yi Dadong family to send food to his brothers."

As he spoke, he saw Ye Dongliang come forward.

He first bowed respectfully to Qiao Xin, and then stood up and said.

"Yes, there are a total of 5,000 catties of polished rice and 10,000 catties of brown rice behind me; In addition, there are a number of horse grass and 5,000 pieces of winter clothing. It's all dedicated to the general by our host. ”

"What?! Fifteen thousand pounds of rice! The adjutant in charge of rice and grain also ran out at some point, and he was overjoyed when he heard this!

Ji Rongshan took the initiative to step forward and asked Ye Dongliang.

"Boss Yi, what do you mean?"

After all, some time ago, he paid for it, but Yi Mingxue was reluctant to sell it.

Today, it was delivered to the door in person.

Ye Dongliang obviously expected that they would have doubts, so he conveyed Yi Mingxue's words as they were.

"Our owner said that only with a country can there be a home, and only with a family can there be a meaning to make money. And you are the only hope for the protection of this country! She did this just so that she could make more money later. ”

The soldiers present were stunned for a moment.

This Yi Dadong speaks really straightforwardly and nakedly, without any concealment.

After doing such a big thing, how can I package myself to be more magnificent, good, and selfless.

Before Ji Rongshan could react, General Qiao on the side raised his head and laughed.

"Good! You big bosses, have a vision! ”

As he spoke, he personally stepped forward and climbed on Ye Dongliang's shoulder.

"I heard that the big proprietor of Ming Ji is a woman? Is this true? ”

Although Ye Dongliang is a good communicator, it is the first time he has encountered it like this.

He couldn't help but be a little nervous, but more excited.

"Returning to the general, although our host is a woman, she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and she also has a sincere heart."

When Qiao Xin heard this, he was even more happy: "Wow! Good. ”

As truckloads of grain and grass were brought into the camp, news of new supplies immediately spread throughout the barracks.

General Qiao simply took this opportunity to gather all the soldiers and carry out a general mobilization of the whole army.

Reunite the originally unstable military spirit. The morale of the fighters was greatly boosted.

That night.

Qiao Xin decided to send another 5,000 people to assist the remnants of Baituguan to sneak attack the enemy's camp!

……

On the other hand, Yi Mingxue unilaterally tore up the cooperation with the Chu family.

It made the great butler of Nachu very unhappy.

He wrote to his eldest young master overnight, scolding the woman surnamed Yi for going back on her word and not being honest.

The protagonist Yi Mingxue, who was annoyed and complained by him, left Huzhou County overnight.

Those who didn't dare to stop for a moment rushed home.

Because she was afraid that once she stopped, she would regret the decision she made at this moment.
