The whole of Luoyang was blown up, and the wind was loud.

In the imperial study, the emperor had a moment of confusion.

"What's going on?" The emperor asked Mr. Youya, "Didn't you tell them to feint?" Why are there two cities in a row? ”

Although Ganzhou is remote, it is the territory of the Yun Dynasty, and it was taken away by others, so how can he save face as an entire emperor?

Mr. Youya had cold sweat on his forehead, he already understood what was going on?

"Snow Country is only afraid that it has already had the intention of attacking the Yun Dynasty."

Did they take the initiative to send money and food, but didn't they immediately bring a large army?

The Emperor's brain boomed and he fainted......

Xie Xun received the news and couldn't wait to rush to the palace and blow the faint king's head.

"Crazy man, he actually paid money and food for the enemy to fight him!"

The old thief is also a fool, and if he doesn't find out, he dares to let people go to the snow country with money and food. Now they eat your food, take your pay, take your city, and kill your men!

Mr. Youya is not stupid, he just wants to bring down the Xie family too much, so he is eager for quick success and loses his calm.

Millions of strong enemies in the Snow Country came to attack, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northwest Marquis could not resist it at all, and the military situation was urgent, so the emperor immediately convened a great court meeting to discuss the dispatch of troops.

Xie Xun is the general of the Zhenjun army, although he took a leave of absence because of the preparation of the wedding, at this moment, he was also announced by the emperor to come to the Jinluan Palace.

Military attachés maintained a consistent style of work, enthusiastically asked for battle, and civilian officials offered advice, and it was not uncommon for them to quarrel and fight when they encountered disagreements.

In the midst of the noise, the emperor found that the Xie father and son barely spoke, and couldn't help frowning, "Xie Shangshu, as the head of a hundred officials, can you have a strategy to meet the enemy?" ”

Only then did the civil and military officials realize that the Xie father and son did not seem to participate in this discussion, and they opened their mouths in surprise.

It is true that the Xie family was suppressed by the emperor, but the Xie family went up to the old lady Xie and down to the ordinary soldiers of the Xie family's army, and the heart of worrying about the country and the people was visible to the naked eye.

A strong enemy is coming, why are the Xie father and son silent?

Being named, Xie Shangshu looked up at the emperor on the dragon chair, and his tone was cold and deep, "The minister has a question, in recent years, the snow country has been plagued by natural disasters, and the trade routes are not smooth, how did the snow country raise the grain and grass of the millions of troops?" ”

Thinking that this catastrophe was caused by the Dog Emperor's madness, and he didn't know how much the Xie family would have to pay for it, Xie Shangshu couldn't help but attack the emperor in front of the court.

He wants to let the civil and military officials see clearly what kind of faint monarch is sitting on the dragon chair!

did such a heartbreaking thing, but still put on a face of worrying about the country and the people here, and the people who watched the land wanted to vomit.

The emperor breathed a sigh, what did Xie Fox mean by this? Are you going to expose him on the spot?

Once the matter of sending money and grain to the snow country is discovered, he, the emperor, will inevitably lose the hearts of the people. Thinking of being scolded and spat on by the people, the emperor's vest was cold, and cold sweat broke out.

"Xie Shangshu~" Mr. Youya came out to relieve the siege for the emperor, "The military situation is urgent, and the most important thing now is to unite as one, drive out strong enemies, and defend the country." ”

Xie Shangshu glanced at Mr. Youya coldly, "This official asked this question precisely to drive away the enemy. Although the Snow Nation captured two cities, those two cities had a small population and even fewer food reserves, which were far from enough to feed an army of millions. The Northwest Hou only needed to hold on to Yangguan for two months, and the enemy army would be able to break through without attacking. ”

The eyes of the officials who know military affairs lit up, especially Li He, the secretary of the military department, who was in charge of the military department, always paid attention to the situation of the surrounding countries, and agreed approvingly, "Xie Shangshu is right, wars have always been fought with materials, as long as we are strong and clear, and do not give the enemy a grain of grain or a piece of pasture, after a long time, the enemy will inevitably retreat to the snow country." When the enemy retreats, then order the Northwest Marquis to press on and reap his life. ”

Others seconded it.

The emperor and Mr. Youya are bitter in their hearts. How did they tell the civil and military officials that they had given enough food and grass for a million people in the Snow Country to eat for half a year?

In half a year, there is enough for the snow country's million-strong army to stretch the battle line and attack other towns to feed the war.

The emperor gave Mr. Youya a look, and said angrily: You can solve this problem!

Mr. Youya can wring out bitter gourd water in his heart, the matter is approved by the emperor, and if he causes trouble, he wants to solve it alone.

He suddenly felt so tired that he wanted to pick a pick.

But he couldn't, he shook his hand at this time, and when he turned his head, the emperor would order the destruction of his nine clans.

"Although Xie Shangshu's strategy is good, it cannot ensure that it is foolproof. If the Snow Country had purchased grain from the countries of the Western Regions, wouldn't the Yun Dynasty be in danger? In this battle, it is still the best policy to take the initiative to retreat from the enemy. ”

Xie Shangshu sneered sarcastically, and still didn't say a word about their words about sending money and food to Snow Country!

"Taifu is right." The emperor took the opportunity to echo, "The situation is weak and tired, all Aiqing should unite as one and do your best to resist the enemy." ”

"Resist the enemy? Where do the soldiers come from? What about grain and grass? ”

Damn, sending half a year's grain to the enemy country with a million troops, but withholding the pensions of tens of thousands of dead and wounded soldiers in northern Xinjiang and refusing to distribute them for a long time, is this a human thing?

After the defeat of Beirong, Xie Shangshu urged the pension every day, and the emperor pressed down on the grounds that the taxes were temporarily confiscated and the household was empty. This matter is known to all dynasties.

The taxes were really confiscated, and the money and food given to the Snow Country were given by the emperor and Mr. Youya out of their own pockets. In recent months, the emperor has opened shops and done business all over the country and made a lot of money.

The emperor originally scheduled for the Snow Countryrs to send troops after the year. At that time, the country's tax revenue had already been put into the treasury, and he was rich and easy.

Snow Country came to attack in advance, and he was really caught off guard.

If there is no money or food in his pocket, he will not be able to straighten his waist.

The Emperor looked at Mr. Youya again.

Mr. Youya had thought about this question a long time ago, but he didn't panic, "At the moment of the great enemy, the imperial court can post notices and borrow grain from the people." Dousheng Xiaomin, just do your best. In terms of merchants, the amount of grain borrowed this time will be listed as an inspection project for the emperor's merchants next year, and some official positions can also be released......"

Bang bang, Xie Xun applauded, "Mr. Youya's trick is really slippery." I don't know how much grain the Yu family plans to take out to buy those official positions? ”

Mr. Youya's face turned red, and the third suggestion was that he was indeed hiding his selfishness. Some time ago, in a war with the Xie faction, many of the Yu family's children were impeached and lost their official positions.

was exposed by Xie Xun on the spot, and he hurriedly clarified, "The Yu family is poor, and the money and food are pitiful, and if they all take it out, it is only more than 100,000 stones, but I am afraid that even the Jiupin Sesame Official will not be able to exchange it." ”

He deliberately said this, invisibly raising the price of buying officials.

Although there is a lot of grain for 100,000 stones, after the harvest in autumn, the warehouses of the family's high gate are all full of grain, and if you can buy an official position with grain, you should not miss it.

A nine-grade official is 100,000 stone of grain, plus the merchant's, and it is easy to gather the grain and grass of a million army.

Snow Country came to attack at this time, although they were caught off guard, fortunately it was already harvested, and it was not too bad.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the grain and grass had fallen, "The problem of grain and grass has been solved, now let's discuss where the troops will come from." ”

The enemy came to attack with a million strong soldiers, even if there was water in it, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the Yun Dynasty had to prepare at least 800,000 soldiers and horses.

"How many people are left in the hands of the Northwest Marquis?" The emperor asked.

Li He came out of the queue and was about to answer, when he suddenly remembered the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"Northwest Hou Urgent!"

Everyone's hearts chuckled......
