"Yes, my son knows."

Hearing what the old marquis said, Uncle Su knew that the old marquis supported Murong Li and would not stand on Murong Yi's side.

As far as the ability of the two is concerned, Murong Li's upper position is more beneficial to the Xifeng Kingdom than Murong Yi's upper position, Murong Li's ability to make bold moves and powerful Xifeng Kingdom, while Murong Yi's upper position does not have such a long-term vision, as it is today, his eyes will only be firmly fixed on the chair under his buttocks, and the things that benefit the country and the people will only be secondary.

Compared with the mind, Murong Yi is not comparable to Murong Li, he is a narrow-minded and short-sighted person.

If he ascends to the throne, the Marquis of Anding will definitely cease to exist.

The second child was bent on assisting Murong Yi, and he didn't think about the consequences, it was estimated that Murong Yi had painted a big cake, he didn't want to think about it, Murong Yi was on the throne, and he would definitely not treat the Marquis of Anding Mansion well, and he would definitely unload the mill and kill the donkey.

With Murong Yi's cautious temperament, how could he keep the second room of the Su family, which is related to the Su family's big house.

The second child is too naïve and too simple.

Uncle Su and the old marquis talked for a while, and Uncle Su hurriedly returned to his study, wrote the letter to Murong Li, and summoned him for comfort.

Give us the letter he has written: "Take two people with you, rush to the border as fast as possible, and hand the letter into the hands of the eldest lady or leave the king."

If there is an emergency, you can't let the letter fall into the hands of others. ”

"Yes, master, my subordinates will send the letter to the eldest lady even if they do their best."

The Dark Guard took the letter and swore an oath.

"Okay, go quickly, and protect the eldest lady when the time comes."

"Yes, master."

"Well, go ahead."

The Dark Guard nodded and dodged away.

Qingniu Guancheng, the first batch of household officials sent by the emperor to send a letter to Murong Li arrived, and after the Lord Wang saluted, he carefully took out a letter and presented it to Murong Li: "The lower officials see the leaving king, this is a letter sent by the emperor to the leaving king, please leave the king." ”

"Lord Wang, please get up."

Murong Li took the letter from Lord Wang's hand, and immediately opened it and looked at it, sure enough, as they had received before, the emperor did not send troops, nor did he send grain and grass, let alone a tael of silver, so he asked him to take materials on the spot at the border pass, the reason is that now the treasury is empty, there are no soldiers and no food, and if you can't send troops to get food, you can't get food, so there is naturally no silver.

Now there are not many soldiers left in Qingniu Pass, so he can still get through the difficulties by himself.

Murong Li sneered in his heart, he still knew the emperor well, if he wanted to make up his mind, if he didn't have the silver, he would still give some grain and grass, this was the result of Murong Yi's obstruction.

I knew that this was the case before, and I wasn't much angry at that time, but now that I saw the emperor's handwritten letter, Murong Li's heart inevitably became angry.

Murong Yi, an idiot, in order to trap him here, made fun of the lives of so many people at the border.

Now the snow has not melted, and after another war, the people themselves have nothing to eat, where to get food.

Fool, such a person will take the throne, and within ten years, the Xifeng Kingdom will collapse.

He glanced at Lord Wang and said lightly: "This king knows, Lord Wang should go down and rest." ”

Lord Wang arched his hand: "Then the official will retire." ”

Lord Wang hurried and hurried, with a tired face, he stepped back and exhaled, and finally delivered the letter, and he had not lost his temper before the prince.

Murong Li put the letter away and went to find General Wu.

Now that the emperor has arrived, he must act quickly.

The soldiers levied by the villages near the Qingniu Mountains have been recruited, and now they have to start recruiting the soldiers in the pass (outside the city of Qingniu Pass is called the outside of the pass).

After all, he has been guarding the border pass for many years, and in the hearts of the people at the border pass, he is their backbone.

General Wu had been recuperating from his injuries for a while, and his injuries were already healed, and he was able to get up and walk around on his own.

"General, you are leaving the king."

As soon as General Wu got up and was about to leave a few times, a soldier came to report.

General Wu said happily: "Please." ”

The soldier hurriedly went out and raised the curtain for Murong Li: "Please come in from the king." ”

Murong Li waved at him, and then entered the tent.

"The last will see the king of departure."

General Wu was about to kneel down and salute.

Murong Li helped him: "The injury on your body is not healed yet, so be spared, this king came today to discuss something with you, you can sit down." ”

General Wu nodded and hurriedly sat back on the bed, Murong Li also sat down on the stool next to him, and then he said directly: "The soldiers outside the border are almost the same, but they only recruit a thousand, which is far from enough for the troops needed at the border pass."

The meaning of this king is to levy some in several counties in the Guannei, and this matter will be handed over to General Wu to handle, what does General Wu think? ”

After hearing this, General Wu said suspiciously: "Thank you for looking up to the last general, and take the liberty of asking, is there no soldier sent by the imperial court?" ”

Murong Li shook his head: "No, today the people sent by the imperial court came and sent a letter, asking this king to recruit troops here by himself, and he is to levy food." ”

General Wu was stunned when he heard this: "Do you want us to recruit the soldiers ourselves?" ”

There is no food, no silver, no soldiers?

General Wu couldn't believe it, what did the court mean by this, he couldn't understand it.

Could it be that the emperor was annoyed that he had lost the battle?

But the soldiers who came back didn't say anything, and the emperor didn't even say a word of reproach, but just asked him to guard the border.

Murong Li nodded, looking at General Wu's bewildered look, he didn't explain the reason to him, only said: "Yes, now the troops at the various border passes are insufficient, and they can't draw troops, and it is not suitable for conscription now, at least after the beginning of spring, and the soldiers recruited at that time are all new soldiers, and we still have to train ourselves, rather than this, it is better for us to recruit soldiers ourselves."

In fact, this king has long thought about this matter, the sooner we recruit the soldiers, the sooner we train the soldiers, and the sooner it can come in handy. ”

Murong Li has been busy in the past few days, and he has no time to communicate with General Wu about this matter for the time being, so he just took the opportunity to tell General Wu about this matter when the emperor came to him today.

After hearing this, General Wu smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The method of leaving the king is good, but there are not many people at the border gates, and there are few strong laborers, so it is difficult to recruit about 100,000 soldiers."

Moreover, after the levy, many families will have no labor, so it will be even more difficult for the people at the border gates. ”

At the border gates, there are also people who take the initiative to join the army, which makes the strong labor of the small family stretched, and this is even worse, for some families, it is simply worse.

Murong Li knew what General Wu was worried about, and he said: "This king knows about this situation, so this king wants to strengthen the Qingniu Pass City, and if the Qingniu Pass is firm, there is no need for so many troops."

Now there is no need to levy 100,000 troops, just tens of thousands.

Moreover, in this conscription, each person will be given ten taels of silver, and then each recruit's family will be given a load of grain and ten catties of meat, and the age limit is between fifteen and thirty years old. ”
