Taking advantage of the warm and cold days of spring, the Turks, who had been silent for more than half a year, suddenly became troubled.

Throne room.

"Zhong Aiqing is talking about it, what is the explanation of this matter?"

Emperor Yongxuan in the high position couldn't see any emotion, but none of the ministers below dared to be the first bird at this time.

"What? Dumb at this time? I don't think you can all speak well on weekdays, don't you? ”

Emperor Yongxuan's eyes swept over, and finally his gaze fell on Xue Heng.

"Captain Xue, tell me what you think."

Xue Heng, who was named, stood up with a wat board in his hand, and muttered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the ministers, it is better to send grain and grass to the frontier first, and then send someone to negotiate peace."

"Heh~ Taiwei Xue said this easily, now that the treasury is empty, where is the grain and grass? Peace? Who to send to negotiate peace? You go? Or do I go? ”

Xue Heng started, and people from different parties chased him one after another and bit him.

"Then does Lord Shangshu have a good way right now?"

Xue Heng glanced at the Hubu Shangshu and threw the burden to him casually.

"Lord Taiwei's words are very interesting, you command the power of the Liang's troops and horses, and now the Turks are jumping in our faces, you don't advocate sending troops but want to negotiate peace?"

"Lord Shangshu also knows that the treasury is empty now, and the marching and fighting wars, food, grass, and military salaries do not cost money?"

The two of you said a word, and Emperor Yongxuan's face in the high position gradually became gloomy.

The treasury was empty, and everything was just poking in his lungs.

"Enough!"

Emperor Yongxuan pressed his swollen eyebrows.

"We'll talk about that later."

Emperor Yongxuan's words fell, and the attendants on the side shouted very cleverly to retreat from the dynasty.

Changding Palace.

There was light smoke in the hall, and the young man on the couch closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

Since returning to the palace, he has not stepped out of the palace gate again. He also kicked out all the people who served on weekdays.

"Your Highness."

I don't know how long later, a black figure suddenly appeared.

"The Turks are moving, and the northwest is in an emergency."

As soon as the words fell, the young man opened his eyes suddenly, and there seemed to be a raging storm rolling up in his eyes in an instant.

-

"Fuck, I want the horse to run and I don't want to graze the horse!"

Since the Turkic movement to the present, in just two months, Wu Fei has completely changed.

He was originally high-spirited, and at this time, his beard was unshaven, and he was so angry that he crumpled the information he had just obtained into a ball and smashed it to the ground.

At that time, after sending the news back to the capital, he did not get an exact reply from Emperor Yongxuan, but only said that he should decide for himself first, and the court would make up for the matter of food and salary later.

Telling the state treasury that it was in an emergency due to the floods in the northwest last year almost put the sentence that the imperial court could not allocate food and salaries for the time being.

"Let Lao Tzu decide for himself first, Lao Tzu is leading troops to fight, not doing business! Can you lead troops to fight and do tricks to ensure that this large group of people does not go hungry? ”

"If Lao Tzu is so capable, what kind of general will Lao Tzu be, directly-"

"More, be careful."

Wu Fei, who was angry, was directly interrupted by Qi Xiaoyu's cold voice.

And his complexion at this time is not very good-looking. There was also a hint of melancholy between the elegant eyebrows.

"For now, let's settle this matter first, and then talk about anything else."

Qi Xiaoyu pointed to the map in front of him.

"This time it was Ashinaan who led the troops, and according to the information he received, he planned to come in from the west of the Altai Mountains with 50,000 men."

"Humph! He must dare to come! Lao Tzu will definitely let him go and never return! ”

Wu Fei's tone was angry, but Qi Xiaoyu didn't speak.

It's okay to say that the soldiers are strong and strong, but now, the food and salary can't keep up, and the gang leader is eager to break a grain of rice into several petals.

I can't eat enough, my morale has dropped by half, what do I use to fight?

"Why don't we go and ask the Tiger Army?"

If they have any surplus provisions, they will borrow them for help.

Speaking of this, Wu Fei's face darkened.

"Let's go! Let's go now! Rob Lao Tzu and grab it! ”

On weekdays, Zhou Mian didn't deal with Wu Fei, but after listening to him explain his intentions, he asked someone to go down and integrate the extra materials and carry them out.

"In fact, the Tiger Ben Army is not much better than the Northwest Battalion."

Zhou Mian smiled bitterly.

On the surface, they directly obeyed the emperor's orders, but the emptiness of the treasury could not be close to them, who were far away in the sky!

But Zhou Mian didn't confide in him.

"If there's anything you need help with, just let them know."

Loading the things he brought into the carriage one by one, Wu Fei's eyes were sharp, and he saw the novel compressed biscuits at a glance.

"It's a good place to eat, if only I could have more."

Although the taste is not good, it is really convenient to carry and full!

Seeing that Zhou Mian was so generous, he almost gave himself all the things that the Lin family brought last time, and it was not good for him to be embarrassed.

After thanking him, he hurriedly took the people and left again.

Zhou Mian didn't expect to receive news from Wu Fei again, so he took 8,000 cavalry deep into the rear of the Turks, trying to capture the thief and capture the king first and take Ashinaan.

The original plan was successful, Wu Fei raided from the rear, captured Ashinaan and brought people into the Altai Mountains. The Turkic army followed in hot pursuit like wolves. The two armies faced each other, but the grain and grass that the court began to talk about did not arrive, Wu Fei did not wait for the grain and grass to support, but Ashinaan waited for reinforcements.

Qi Xiaoyu, who got the news, couldn't sit still, and the northwest battalion ran out of ammunition and food, so he could only send people to ask for support from the Tiger Ben Army.

"What about the Qi Army?"

"The military advisor has brought people to support the general."

"I know, you go back first, let Qi Xiaoyu don't worry."

That being said, Zhou Mian's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

The Northwest Battalion has a large number of people, but the Tiger Army is not much better now.

After ordering the soldiers to explain their subordinates, they hurriedly rushed to support with the cautious supplies in the barracks.

"Hey, I can't live this day, what kind of battle is there to fight, wouldn't it be better to surrender directly?"

"Lao He! What nonsense are you talking about! Don't want to die?! ”

Yang Qin heard He Yu's complaint and immediately scolded.

He Yu pursed his lips, but his face was unconvinced.

Lin Dahe took in everything, thought about it and asked the doubts in his heart, "Brother Yang, why don't you ask the people for help?" ”

"Hey, our lives are lives, but the lives of the common people are not lives? Besides, we are working for the imperial court, and the imperial court should pay military salaries. We can survive hunger, and the lives of the common people are not better than ours! ”

Lin Dahe was originally from a farmer's family, and he also knew that every household would have at most food and clothing after the taxes paid every year.

But in his view, those who fight are protecting the people. Now at the critical juncture, it is natural to help if you can, otherwise the Turks will come in, and it will still be the people who suffer.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Qin: "Brother Yang, I want to go to Liangcheng." ”

"Then you ride my horse."

Liangcheng is not far from the barracks, and sometimes people will be sent to buy it, but it needs to be approved by the upper peak.

For Lin Dahe, Yang Qin is very relieved. I didn't ask him what he was going to do, but I just told him to go and get back quickly.
