"But now it's lucky, what's the use?"

"You're stupid!" Yan Ying's index finger Dan Kou poked her husband's temple: "My Yan country is small and the people are scarce, this 10,000 stone army food is already difficult to raise, plus the lonely bamboo was surrounded some time ago, if you send food at that time, wouldn't you be an enemy?" It's easy to break the siege alone, and you are happy to escort it in person, not wanting to be greedy for merit and reckless and trapping the army in danger. From head to toe, you have been meticulous in fulfilling the king's command, you know?"

"But......" Zhao Zhongbao suddenly remembered something, and pursed his lips and said, "What if they want our Yan army to relieve the siege of Kui Duoyou?"

"What to do? Cold salad!" Yan Huan sneered: "Think about it, who did the Son of Heaven order to flank Kui Duoyou and jointly attack the Dongqi Clan?"

"Naturally, it's Wei Hou and He." Zhao Zhongbao suddenly came to his senses, clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right! His reinforcements to defend the country have not arrived, so what is the widow in a hurry?"

The total amount of husband and wife has been decided, and Zhongbao summoned the government treasury officials to count the grain, load and set off, and prepare to go to Guzhu to transport the first batch of military rations. In addition to being busy, he is also worried from time to time, I don't know what happened to Chaoge, why hasn't there been any movement until now? It stands to reason that with the close relationship between Wei Hou and the Son of Heaven, the chain will not be dropped at this critical moment!

Outside the city of Chaoge, the capital of Weidu, farmers are busy in the green wheat fields, and the autumn harvest is about to begin. The martial arts arena outside the city is also a busy scene in full swing, the sound of the recruits' drills, the sound of the infantry's swords, spears and halberds colliding and rubbing, and the sound of the cavalry's war horses' hooves, a busy scene before the expedition......

Everyone knows that this battle was ordered by the Son of Heaven to follow Wei Hou and cooperate with Kui Duoyou's border army to exterminate the Donglu in one fell swoop. Kui Duoyou, that is the god of war who went out from the defense of the country, if this battle is really decided in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a great achievement in the Central Plains! Whether it is a soldier or a general, everyone is ambitious, and everyone wants to fight!

But Wei Houhe's heart was not as relaxed as everyone else's. He had two copper-sealed urgent reports on his desk, one was a military report from the front, saying that Kui Duoyou led 40,000 troops to pursue Jin Wudu, but unexpectedly fell into the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops from the grassland tribes at the Great Wall; The second part was reported by Lone Bamboo, and the long-awaited Yanhou grain and grass finally arrived, but it was only 10,000 stones, which was only the consumption of 50,000 troops for five or six days. How can you fight a war with this?

"Zhao Zhongbao, this kid, he didn't deal with the widow when he was young, and now the enemy is now, and he dares to play tricks with the widow? It's really unbearable!" Wei Houhe smashed his fist on the case, and the two copper sealing tubes jumped twice, just like two naughty children rolled under the case.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty." Gongsun Yu bowed down and persuaded, "According to the ministers, Yan Hou's move may also be helpless. After all, the country of Yan is small and sparse, and can only cultivate one season a year, and the common people still need to hunt to barely make a living. The Son of Heaven issued an edict that the Yan Kingdom would provide the army with food and grass, which was already difficult for some strong people."

"What then?" Wei Houhe was very stupid: "So we can only support ourselves by Wei Guo?"

Gongsun Yu glanced at the faces of Wei Hou and Tie Qing, and said cautiously, "There is no other way. After all, the border army is the pillar of our Great Zhou, and as a country with the same surname in the Central Plains, it is also incumbent on us to rescue."

"Aiqing is too underestimated by widows!" Wei Houhe waved his sleeves impatiently: "Is the widow the kind of person who takes revenge for personal gain? No matter what personal grievances he has with Kui Duoyou, for the sake of the 40,000 robes, the widow should do his best to save it! Tomorrow will be the battle!"

"No!" Gongsun Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking inventory of the treasury and dealing with the backlog of copywriting for many days, Wei Houhe returned to the inner palace after being busy, and it was already the time when the wind lanterns were swaying. As soon as I entered the inner bed, I felt a fragrant fragrance coming, and the pear blossom of Wurina was full of tears with rain, and Wei and his chest were wet.

"What's wrong?" Wei He knew what was on her mind, so he only comforted her softly: "The widow will go on the expedition tomorrow, you crying and crying, it's not lucky!"

Wu Rina didn't look up, and said quietly: "The king's ambition is in all directions, I shouldn't have stopped you from being loyal to the Zhou family. It's just that...... The concubine heard that Kui Duoyou had fallen into a siege, and if the king went to the rescue, I was afraid that it would be ...... It's also under siege. I...... I'm really worried about you!"

"Silly girl." Wei He patted her delicate face, and was about to say a few words of consolation, when he suddenly heard a sound in the courtyard

There were noisy shouts, and there was a faint cry of "walking in the water-" one after another.

Wei He pushed Wu Zhina away and walked quickly to the bottom of the palace porch, but saw a group of palace maids pointing to the sky and discussing:

"Why did the water go out of the northwest, and the fire should not burn into the palace city if it was bigger, it was really amazing!"

Wei He looked northwest in the direction of everyone's fingers, and saw that the sky reflected a faint red light, and the raging fire burned into a huge candle, illuminating the Miyagi Yongdao with dazzling brilliance. In the dark night, a little spark suddenly appeared, gradually brightening and burning into a raging flame, which was like a torch under the cover of night.

In the distance, a string of sparks lit up one after another, and after a while, the silver snakes danced wildly in the sky above the sky, and the fire soared into the sky, and the heat wave was also felt from afar, and the smoke was billowing on the face, suppressing the silver glow of the bright moon. Gradually, there seemed to be a smell of scorching grain, causing everyone to cover their mouths and noses.

"Oh no, it's a fire in the granary, oops!" Wei He immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Lead the horse, the widow will go out of the palace to inspect!"

Out of the inner palace, there is a mess in the song city. The sound of gongs sounded rapidly, and the defenders rushed down the streets and alleys with waterwheels and hook-saw barrels towards the north-west fire.

There are also unhurried people in Chaoge City who are busy avoiding the sound of the hurried gong, standing on the corner of the street and looking up at the bright torch that illuminates the sky and the earth, and there are many discussions.

"It's such a fierce fire, and I don't know which big family has been affected."

"Look at the direction of Chaoge granary, where it is heavily guarded and idlers are not allowed to enter, how can they accidentally walk out of the water?"

"Hey! You say those fat rats don't want to get away? I must know that our king will go on an expedition tomorrow, and it happens that no one will control them tonight, so he will have fun by himself, and let the thieves take advantage of the loophole!"

"Oh no! There is only one granary in Chaoge City, and this one is on fire, won't the price of grain go crazy? I'll go to the grain store tomorrow morning to buy more food, and I'll have to be prepared!"

"You see, it's not just the granaries inside the city that are on fire, but the military granaries outside the city are also on fire.

Wei He listened to these discussions, and became even more anxious, the granary in the city was for civilian use, supplying the daily needs of the common people of Chaoge. The military granary outside the city has 80,000 stone of grain, which is all the grain baggage of the guards, and if it is really burned, I am afraid that the matter of sending troops to rescue will be in vain. Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of the city gate.

In fact, as soon as Wei He walked out of the palace gate, a ghostly masked shadow appeared from the shadows and stood silently in front of the screen.

"Done?" Uzhna didn't look back, just asked in a low voice.

"Yes, at the Lord's command, return the token."

The lights are swaying, and a bronze inlaid black jade plaque that is slightly larger than the palm of the hand is impressive, and a white winged goshawk in the black jade plaque is particularly eye-catching. Urina took the token and replied lightly: "Without this token, no matter how you can go to heaven, you will not be able to freely enter and exit the two granaries inside and outside Chaoge. Done? Everybody's cleaned up?"

"Whoever has seen this token is too dead to die." The ghost snorted lightly: "Hundreds of thousands of stone grains were burned overnight, it seems that it is impossible for Wei Hou to send troops to rescue Kui Duoyou!"

"Listen!" Uzhina's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and she forced her gaze at the ghost shadow and said, "This time, I cooperated with you Dongqi to avenge my father's revenge and trap Kui Duoyou to death. I, Uzhna, have already married into the country and will never harm my husband's country again. Go back and tell your king, that you will not come to me again!"

"The little one understands!"

The ghost disappeared, and Uzhna paced to the window, looking at the bright candle burning in the distance, uncertain. The flames were as bright as day, and her pretty face was a little distorted, and at this moment, she almost didn't know herself......

After a night of turmoil, the song city is like a frightened bird.

As soon as the shops in the market opened, countless ordinary people with baskets came to buy them, and their eyes flashed with fear and anxiety. A magnificent bronze chariot drove past them, but no one bothered to look back.

"Master, the intersection is blocked, what

What can I do?" Mike pointed to the intersection in front of him, and asked helplessly.

Gongsun Yu raised his eyes and looked, and a large group of people in front of him crowded the already wide street without a cone, and they were all holding baskets in their hands, which made it even more crowded. A few rag shoes were kicked around in the crowd, and no one bothered to pick them up, it turned out that they were all rice buyers waiting for the "Zou Ji Rice Shop" to open.

"Forget it, let's go another way." Gongsun Yu let out a long sigh helplessly: "You can't let the king wait in the palace in a hurry."

The driver nodded in agreement, and was about to reverse the car, but heard someone shout, "Look at that, 'He Ji' is about to open the door."

The crowd "Hula" rushed to the end of the street again, and here "Zou Ji" and "He Ji" were at one end and the other end of the street, which blocked Gongsun Yu's traffic in the middle, and he couldn't advance or retreat. Gongsun Yu had to stand quietly in the car, hoping that the people would disperse after buying rice.

Let's see a few guys move the door panel and lift out a stone slab with the words "100 dollars per stone". The crowd was like exploding a pot: "Yesterday it was still "forty dollars per stone", but this night it has more than tripled, and it still doesn't let people live?"

"If you love to buy it or not, you don't like to sell it." The two granaries outside the city of Chaoge have been burned down, and the store is so stocked, if it weren't for the face of the villagers, it would have closed down long ago!" The guy said impatiently.
