Chapter 55: Is It Wrong for Me to Protect Ourselves?

In the past year, Beiliao's attack on Li Jiajun was mainly focused on Li Jiajun's logistical support.

For example, the convoy transporting grain was frequently attacked, and due to the leakage of intelligence, Beiliao was not only very familiar with the grain transportation route, but also had a detailed grasp of the departure time.

Even later, when various camouflages were made, most of the military rations could not escape the surprise attack of Beiliao.

The Beiliao people usually sent a few small detachments of capable men and horses, and first harassed them many times along the way, regardless of morning and evening, regardless of the terrain, so that the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass were like frightened birds, and their spirits were highly stressed.

Then, once they are slack and tired, they will rush and slash.

And, never in love with war.

Then, it is to take the opportunity to burn grain.

If the Li Jiajun was heavily guarded, the Beiliao people poured fire oil on themselves and pounced on the grain cart.

Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, although the grain is not robbed, a lot of the grain is scorched and burned as a result.

Despite the fact that the leftover grain can be eaten. But the quality and taste have dropped dramatically.

In addition, the nutritional content can also be severely damaged.

Ji Jun was secretly angry in his heart.

Another more difficult situation is that the medicinal materials transported to the army have been destroyed even more as a result.

Burnt grain may be enough to satisfy you.

Once the herbs have been burned, or even just smoked, they have lost their efficacy.

Gradually, Li Jiajun began to lack medical treatment.

In addition, some people at the border pass were not spared.

From planting in the spring to harvesting in the fall, there is always a worry about the sneak attack of the Beiliao people.

Sometimes, in a village, dozens of people are working in the fields in the morning while hoeing the weeds, and when they return home in the evening, they will find that one or more farmers have been killed.

As a result, the people at the border gates were panicked and unable to farm with peace of mind, and many people abandoned their homes and moved their families inward.

As a result, large areas of land were barren, followed by grain crop failures.

Although Li Jiajun's military rations were sufficient, the number of vegetables was significantly reduced.

Ji Jun was secretly frightened, she remembered some historical records she had read in her previous life, there was a great khan of the Dzungar Khanate named Galdan, who once said a sentence:

"From now on, the years have used soldiers, ravaged your ploughing in summer, burned your crops in autumn, and now I am not forty years old, and my teeth will fall and then stop."

She still doesn't know the specific year of the dynasty she is in, in short, it is an empty dynasty.

However, it must have been after the Tang Dynasty, because Ji Chen could casually say "Tang poems".

There's no way, after passing through, I keep fighting with those women in the back house, I don't have time, I don't have the mood, and I don't have the mood to learn historical knowledge.

At present, no matter what the origin of this Beiliao has with this Galdan, the number of roads is the same.

And, it seems, it's tough! It's also a tough one to deal with!

Li Keguan is an orphan and has a name called "Zhan". After joining the Li family's army, he fought bravely and was selected into the "scout battalion".

Later, he asked to follow the Duke of Liguo, hence, having a surname. named Li Zhan.

Li Zhandao:

"In the past year, many soldiers have inexplicably developed some fatigue, shortness of breath, rough skin, ulcerated lips, and even swelling on their bodies, while others are talking nonsense and moving slowly."

Ji Chen's small eyebrows were twisted into a twist, and his eyes were full of worry.

Ji Jun held her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, cousin has a way." ”

This should be "B vitamin deficiency", especially "beriberi" caused by vitamin B1 deficiency.

Li Zhan said again: "There are also some soldiers, like their subordinates, somehow, sometimes they can't see things clearly, and it's even darker at night. But sometimes it's inexplicably better. At first, I didn't care about it, but later, such situations began to appear frequently, and the number of personnel began to increase, and the generals and military divisions began to feel that there was a problem. ”

Li Mi's tone was heavy: "What did the military doctor say?" ”

Li Zhan shook his head: "At first, I thought it was poisoning, but then I ruled it out after repeated inspections." Later, his subordinates came out to deliver the letter. On that day, it was suddenly dark in front of me, and as people entered here, after sitting down, they smelled the smell of rice, and couldn't help but eat a few bites, and they ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhan's expression was a little confused.

I had almost no money left, and I went into a restaurant, as if I wanted to eat white food.

Ji Jun suddenly asked:

"Is there meat in the barracks?"

Li Zhan smiled bitterly and said:

"The eldest lady really asked! In the past, the grandfather of the country, the prince of the world, and the generals were sympathetic to the soldiers, and even used their own money to buy livestock and poultry from the surrounding farmers to add food to the soldiers. Sometimes, you can also hunt some game from the nearby mountains and forests. However, I don't know what method Beiliao used, but in the past year, the number of animals in the woods near our army has decreased significantly. ”

Ji Jun secretly said in his heart, this is the "night blindness" caused by the lack of vitamin A!

"Is there a river nearby?" Ji Jun asked again.

Fish can also be supplemented with some vitamins, especially vitamin A.

Li Zhan shook his head:

"There are a few rivers near the Li Jiajun station, but the upstream is on the Beiliao side. They set up a lot of nets upstream, so that the fish that could go downstream were few and small! ”

Ji Jun almost wondered, is there a person who crosses there in Beiliao?

This operation led to the non-combat attrition of the Li family's army!

Zhou Huan's eyes were full of anxiety, but his tone was calm:

"Eldest prince, should you report to Your Majesty and ask the imperial doctor to go to the border to treat the soldiers!"

Ji Jun thought, why didn't he report to the head of the military department?

Although she doesn't understand the affairs of the court, she still understands this procedure.

Could it be that these people in front of them have the privilege of "walking in front of the emperor"?

Or, is there a "channel" to the heavens?

If so, hugging their thighs is much better than hugging Yang's!

Zhou Biao hurriedly said: "That's nature!" This situation can't be known to the guys who don't work in the military department! I've always suspected that the leak had something to do with them! Even if it's not those officials who eat inside and out, at least it's not strictly supervised! Big cousin, let's hand over the sign directly and see the saint! ”

Li Mi was silent, as if he was hesitating about something.

Zhou Huan looked at it, opened his mouth, and did not make a sound.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Biao thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand the crux of the problem, so he sat down helplessly and worriedly.

Ji Jun looked at Ji Chen, his eyes were full of puzzlement:

If you don't tell the Ministry of War, and don't report to the emperor, you can't solve it yourself, what do you think?

Ji Xi spoke softly, as if to explain, and as if asking:

"Big cousin, is there a suspicious person around the saint?"

In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian smiled and looked at Zhou Chendong, the fifth prince who came to ask for peace.

Among the thirteen sons of the emperor, the three princes are the most beautiful and handsome.

The second is Zhou Qile, the seventh prince born by Qin Guifei, who is really as beautiful as jade, like a grind.

But compared with the third prince, it lacks that kind of unparalleled amazement.

The five princes have clear eyebrows and eyes, a long body and a jade body, and a natural nature.

There is a hint of melancholy between the eyebrows, a coldness, and a bit of heroism.

In a trance, it was like seeing the young general in silver armor and silver armor!

Zhou Chendong is gentle as usual:

"Mother Jiao is well!"

Concubine Jiao Xian smiled and said with disgust:

"How many times have I said it! It's still so outside! However, you are still angry with your thirteenth brother? ”

Zhou Chendong said in panic:

"Erchen doesn't dare! The thirteenth brother is still young, and Erchen can understand his mood, so he doesn't want the thirteenth brother to misunderstand! ”

Concubine Jiao Xian waved her hand and motioned for the five princes to sit down:

"Let him go! One day he will understand your goodness! ”

A trace of darkness slipped under Zhou Chendong's eyes.

Concubine Jiao Xian said again:

"In a few days, a banquet will be held in the mansion of Chen Guogong, and your brothers who have opened the mansion have been invited, and your brothers have not seen each other for many days, so you must be close and close!"

Zhou Chendong lowered his eyes, and then raised his eyes and asked with concern:

"Thirteenth brother want to go together? The retainers came to pick him up. ”

Concubine Jiao Xian was stunned, and quickly smiled:

"He's a little kid, what to do!"

Then, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said:

"The seventh prince didn't go, and I didn't want the thirteenth to go, and Chen Guogong didn't invite the younger prince, I think he was worried that he wouldn't take care of him."

Zhou Chendong's heart slipped through the cold, but the smile on his face did not decrease:

"What the mother concubine said is true, the son has written it down!"

Ji Yun's mind quickly turned hundreds of times, and she made a decision in her heart, she walked in front of Li Mi, raised her head slightly and looked directly into Li Mi's eyes:

"Eldest son, my Ji family has a unique secret recipe that can save thousands of soldiers of the Li family's army. Moreover, I can teach you a quick, efficient, covert, and convenient way to pass on information. However, I have the conditionsβ€”"

The corners of Li Mi's lips were hooked, her smile was warm, and she said warmly:

"Tell me about it."

Ji Jun suddenly remembered a word "spoiling" in his heart.

Ahem, it's important to get down to business, and you can't be mistaken by beauty!

Ji Yun Zhengsedao:

"First, this is the secret recipe of my Ji family, which contributed to the Li family, so the credit goes to my uncle, and I ask the court to promote my uncle, and now he is the fourth grade, not the third grade, but also from the third grade."

As soon as these words came out, Li Mi's smile froze a little.

Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao looked at Ji Jun in disbelief.

Ji Jun ignored them, and hummed softly in his heart, what's the matter, I have to give you advice for free, anyway, I am a merchant girl, and I just want money and goods.

I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed!

Ji Jun continued: "Second, I will ask for the county lord for my cousin, I, my identity is low, just give a county gentleman and a county gentleman!" ”

Zhou Biao raised two fingers and shook them in front of Ji Yun's eyes.

Ji Yun glanced at him: "What are you doing?" Take your paws away! ”

Zhou Biao looked at Ji Jun with neurotic eyes:

"Sister, you're not sleepwalking! Do you understand? My sister is the county lord! ”

Ji Jun sneered:

"Yes, your sister is amazing! Then let your sister go to the border to treat the soldiers! Will your sister heal? If you can't cure diseases, are you embarrassed to be the county lord? Cadaver vegetarian meal! Hurry up and make room for the capable, and she can be considered self-aware! ”

Zhou Biao was choked in one breath! Pointing at Ji Yun, for a long time, he flicked his sleeves and sat to the side to sulk.

Zhou Huan coughed lightly and said:

"Miss Ji, the military situation is urgent, please don't joke! It will make people say that you are taking advantage of others. ”

Ji Jun looked Zhou Huan up and down, unhappy, but for the sake of Chen'er, hum, I bear it.

Ji Jun smiled lightly:

"I'm not kidding. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. Although there are big people in Beijing who eat inside and outside, although I am a civilian, I will not use the lives of thousands of soldiers as bargaining chips to achieve my goal. ”

Zhou Huan showed a polite smile, noncommittal.

Zhou Biao snorted on the side.

Ji Yungang's anger came up:

"What are you humming? Doesn't the imperial court pay attention to rewarding meritorious deeds? With you who have status, we will be rewarded for your merits, and we deserve to contribute money, brains, and hearts in vain? I didn't steal or rob, with my ability, to earn money and fame, it was just a joke, just taking advantage of people's danger! Then you Zhou Shizi are so well aware of righteousness, you give up your position as the son of the world to our sisters? We have got what we want, and you have done the right thing! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? If you want to talk about feelings, let's talk about it together, don't say one thing and do another! ”

Anyway, Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao are all surnamed Zhou!

Love whoever you are!

Zhou Huan's face was slightly angry, but he still said softly:

"Miss Ji, with all due respect, it's just that this matter is not something we can decide, and besides, it's ......a big deal."

Ji Jun impatiently interrupted Zhou Huandao:

"If you can't do it, you can't do it, don't button my hat! Don't worry, I will still save people! However, I must mention this request, you have to think about whether to help me, how to help me! ”

Li Mi asked softly:

"Why do you have to be like this?"

Ji Jun shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression:

"I don't want to be bullied! My uncle and aunt went to the border to defend the country, and my cousin and I were bullied, ridiculed, and framed in the capital! Why didn't you come forward one by one to teach Su Jin a lesson? I want to protect ourselves, is it wrong? If we have a knighthood, the two of us will move out of Huai'an Houfu and set up our own doors! Save yourself from worrying about Su Jin and them every day! ”
