Since the end of the last morning dynasty, Liu Chan's whole person has been in a bit of a trance. How can he deal with the affairs of the military generals, and he still needs to deal with the affairs of the civil officials! Isn't there a courtier who understands both internal affairs and military affairs, and is still loyal? God is pitiful, he Liu Chan is an ordinary person, why do he have to be the emperor. As a result, Liu Chan postponed the morning dynasty for several days. However, the government affairs have not been left behind, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, and Qin Hui are very good, and they handle the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. Without Liu Chan realizing it, a small imperial court called the cabinet quietly took shape.

Shunchang, the residence of the Golden Vultures

Ever since the defeat of Bianliang by the Golden Vultures, Yue Fei had used his lair as his temporary camp. The settlement of the people and the handling of various situations in the north were mostly discussed here.

"Now except for Bianliang, Henan has been owned by my Song Dynasty, and the Jin State will definitely refuse to swallow this breath this time, so it is better to take advantage of the situation to capture Bianliang in one fell swoop and drive away the Jin people. At that time, we will attack the pseudo-Qi in the west, and since then, the north will all belong to our Song Dynasty. Wang Gui pointed to the map and said to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei said with a smile: "The Golden Vulture is not so easy to fight, and Bianliang is close to the Jin State, once we send troops, the Jin State will definitely come to help." Bianliang has about 20,000 cavalry, all of whom have experienced bloody battles, and they are not easy to mess with. Whether it is food, grass and materials, or the source of soldiers, we must be slightly inferior. ”

At present, the situation in Shunchang is not complicated, there is only a shortage of officials and food. The people have been stable and proper, although the food and grass are a little insufficient, but they can't starve to death, but they can only support it for half a month at most.

"Now, we have to send someone to Lin'an to get food, if we don't do it again, the brothers will starve to death." Wang Gui complained.

Zhang Xian was also distressed on the side: "Yes, General Yue, if the imperial court doesn't transport the grain over, we can only learn from the rebel army and rob the Jin country." ”

At this moment, a soldier ran in happily and said breathlessly: "General, general, the grain and grass ordered by His Majesty have arrived, arrived." ”

"What".

"Bang dang."

Wang Gui suddenly stood up and shook the chair behind him to the ground, making a loud noise. However, Wang Gui didn't care in the slightest, and grabbed the soldier: "You say it again, tell Lao Tzu again." ”

The soldier didn't care about Wang Gui's actions, and said excitedly: "Really, it's true, Your Majesty, Your Majesty really ordered someone to send grain and grass." There are dozens of truckloads of grain, which have already entered the city, and it seems that there are also Wang Li and Wang Li. ”

Everyone who was deliberating was shocked by this news and were speechless, when did someone send food before they were seriously short of food! When to ask for food and grass, you can't ask for dozens of days! When to transport grain and grass for ten days and half a month!

Today's is the first time that everyone has seen the Northern Expedition for more than ten years.

What everyone doesn't know is that Liu Chan is really afraid that the border army will make trouble due to lack of food, and in Liu Chan's heart, he feels that no one can starve the soldiers who are fighting if they are hungry. So he gave an absolute order to the people of the Imperial City Division, ordering them to arrest the money and grain officer, and then promote his assistant on the spot, and be sure to send the grain as soon as possible, and as soon as possible!

Whether it was the people of the Imperial City Division or the assistant of the Qian Food Officer, it was the first time to see this kind of formation, and they did not dare to slack off immediately, and after receiving the order, they quickly sent the grain and grass over, and there was almost no stop along the way.

Yue Fei immediately said: "Hurry up and invite the prince to come here, and the generals will go out with me to greet you personally." ”

"Yes."

The grain transport team that returned with a full load caused a huge sensation as soon as it arrived in Shunchang. In troubled times, food occupies an absolute position. If anyone dares to waste food at will, it is really that the history books will not let him go. Looking at these dozens of truckloads of grain, not only the people of Shunchang, but even the Song army stationed in the court also felt the full sincerity of the court.

When the people learned that these supplies were ordered by His Majesty to be delivered urgently, they all knelt on both sides of the road, kowtowing and thanking God. Those Song soldiers stood even more straight, what else is there to say, it will be over when you do Jin Guo.

Wang Li, who was still in charge of escorting the grain and grass, was happy and shocked at this time, Wang Li was personally sent by the emperor to supervise the grain and grass. After all, the previous money and grain officials had already fooled him once, and Liu Chan didn't want to be fooled again, so he sent the experienced Wang Li to continue to escort the grain and grass. But when Wang Li just walked to Yingchang, he heard that Yue Fei had already captured Shunchang, and his whole mouth was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

It's one thing to hear it, it's another thing to see it in person. Yue Fei is so powerful! This is against the sky! It is worthy of being a courtier personally promoted by His Majesty!

Immediately said something, Wang Li immediately led someone to personally send the grain and grass to Shunchang. This battle report must be reported by myself, my God, how much reward this deserves!

So there is the current scene, but unfortunately Wang Li still didn't expect that the battle report had already been delivered to Liu Chan's hands before, and it was only two days before and after. However, at this time, Wang Li was still in disbelief, and he didn't expect that a great achievement had already left him.

By the time Wang Li arrived at Yue Fei's temporary residence in Shunchang, Yue Fei had already personally led all the soldiers to greet him outside. The sincerity of the imperial court this time is too full, there is no = there is no troublemaking in the rear, there is no shortage of grain and grass, if Yue Fei does not express his welcome, I am afraid that it will be a little too much.

In this regard, Liu Chan has something to say. This kind of common sense, only the Song Dynasty would make a fuss. As far as the military situation of the Song Dynasty is concerned, the border army is not used in the Han Dynasty, and the civil officials of the imperial court have to beat the minister in charge of grain and grass. If you dare to have problems with food and grass in the war, you are afraid that you don't want to die! The scholars of the Han Dynasty who got on the horse to kill the enemy and dismounted to rule the country were not joking.

"I've seen the princess." Yue Fei clenched his fists and said to Wang Li, who was dismounting.

"General Yue is polite, and I would like to congratulate General Yue on his victory in the Northern Expedition." Wang Li said with a smile on his face, very politely.

"It is thanks to His Majesty's support that this great victory has been possible. I also thank the prince for the grain and grass he sent before, otherwise he would not have been able to take Shunchang. Yue Fei said very modestly.

"Haha, General Yue is polite."

"This is the truth, and I invite the prince to enter the mansion."

"Yes, please."

"The prince and princess, please."

After Wang Li and Yue Fei entered the courtyard, Wang Gui, who was in a daze behind, grabbed Yue Yun and asked with some confusion: "Why does the general seem to have changed into a different person?" When will it be so polite? "Don't blame Wang Gui for making a fuss, he has never seen Yue Fei have a brain in dealing with people, either offended this or that. He, the commander of the Chinese military, either made amends for this or that when he was in Lin'an, he made amends for that.

"Uncle Gui, what are you doing?" Yue Yun was dragged by Wang Gui and said dissatisfiedly, straightened his clothes and said, "Who knows, it may be in a good mood." ”

In a word, Yue Fei's mood is really good, and the good one couldn't be better. And this time, it was Wang Li who personally escorted the grain and grass, so Yue Fei was very polite.

After everyone sat down in their seats, Yue Fei asked Wang Li: "This time it is really thanks to the prince, if it weren't for the grain and grass escorted by the prince, I'm afraid that in a few days, the army would be starving." ”

Wang Li waved his hand: "Hey, the general is too polite." It's just an escort of grain and grass, not a credit. ”

"I don't know what else needs to be conveyed by the prince besides escorting grain and grass." Just kidding, how could a eunuch be sent to escort grain and grass. The first time was because Wang Li wanted to read out the holy decree granted by His Majesty the right to act cheaply, and the second time it was all war time, so why did he send Wang Li over.

It can't be a eunuch to supervise the army! A hint of gloom appeared in everyone's hearts, and the excitement of the arrival of grain and grass also faded.

"Hey, the general doesn't know, this time to escort grain and grass, Your Majesty has beheaded three money and grain officials in a row, or in front of Qin Xiang."

"What!"

Everyone was in disbelief as to what was going on. I only heard Wang Li continue: "Your Majesty learned that the people who escorted the grain and grass deliberately delayed, but the five-day journey was half a month, and he was furious, and in a fit of anger, he ordered the people of the Imperial City Division to behead the three money and grain officials, and they were beheaded in front of Qin Xiang. For this reason, Qin Xiang personally knelt down in front of the palace gate to apologize. His Majesty remembered the merits, fined him one month's salary, and strictly ordered him not to make an example. ”

The generals' brains were a little dizzy, they hadn't been to Lin'an for a long time, and they didn't feel right, this was still Lin'an, how could they feel fiercer than Jinguo. Wang Li looked at everyone's expressions with a smile, and the same was true when he first heard the news. After a while, he continued to say to Yue Fei: "Your Majesty has something to ask General Yue. ”

Yue Fei hurriedly stood up and wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Wang Li with his hand. In Yue Fei's puzzled look, Wang Li said with a smile: "The official dictated that he just wanted to ask some questions to the general, so there was no need to make this big gift." ”

In fact, Wang Li was also a little overwhelmed by Liu Chan's attitude, after all, such a generous treatment of a general who led troops abroad was unprecedented outside the founding of the country.

"I wonder what Your Majesty wants to ask?"

Wang Li said with a smile: "The official family wants to ask General Yue how the battle is and how the victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition is. But looking at the current situation, there is no need to ask. The general hurriedly wrote the battle report and handed it over to me to send to His Majesty. ”

"The battle report has been written, and someone has been sent to present it to Your Majesty a few days ago."

"It has already been presented to His Majesty?" Wang Li was stunned, what was his desperate rush to the map.

"yes, what's wrong?" Yue Fei asked suspiciously, while Wang Gui covered his forehead, with a headache.

"Oh, it's okay, General Yue is loyal and patriotic, and he deserves to be a model for my generation, Wang Li admires it deeply." Wang Li became a little cold, his great credit was gone, gone.

Wang Gui hurriedly interrupted Yue Fei's words on the side: "This time we have seized many precious treasures in Shunchang, the prince might as well go and see in person which ones are in the palace, or personally transfer them to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Li's eyes lit up, and his expression was much more satisfied: "Since that's the case, then I'll go and have a look, and it will save you from trouble in the future." ”
