Chapter 1616 Crisis Now

In General Yingzhou's mansion, Liu Mingzhi and Zhang Kuang didn't know that Wanyan Chizha planned to cross Yingzhou to attack the hinterland after joining forces with the Turks.

While ordering the soldiers to strengthen the city wall and prepare to roll stones and logs, the two discussed how Wanyan Chizha and the Turkic army from the east would attack the city.

"Report! General Qi, there is a general of the Jin Army shouting outside the city, insulting us as cowards, shrinking our heads, and dare not go out of the city to fight to the death with them."

Liu Mingzhi stopped placing the military flag and raised his head to look at Zhang Kuang, and they understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the soldiers who came in with a faint smile: "Tell the brothers, don't talk to them, just watch a show, and stop barking when he's tired!"

"If you can't stand being copied, you can get an exemption card and hang it up!"

"I have to order, I will resign from my humble position!"

After the soldiers left, he looked at First Young Master Liu frantically and narrowly: "When the war has reached this point, do you think a mere waiver card is useful? With the desire of the two countries to stare at my dragon for many years, let alone one side, even ten sides are not worth it." No, they are determined to go south."

Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and put the military flag in his hand on the sand table.

"I don't care if it's useful or not. At least they won't attack the city now. The purpose of this old fox, Wanyan Chizha, is nothing more than to blow our morale!"

"Besides, he really wants to drive us out of the city to fight them."

"But no matter what, we can't go out of the city. The Turkic army is already on the way. At this time, we go out of the city to fight. Wanyan Chizha sent four troops to surround the city gate. We can only wait helplessly. The joint forces of the two countries will be encircled and eliminated."

"Whoever moves first now will be passive. Everyone is waiting for reinforcements, and it depends on who can survive who!"

"Right now we don't admit to being cowardly. Let alone an elite army of 80 people, we can't finish killing 80 pigs in a few days."

"When it's time to avoid the edge, you still have to temporarily avoid the edge. Impulse will not solve any problems, and will only let the brothers die in vain!"

"Report, please tell the commander, the grain and grass brought by the household department have been quietly transported from the south gate to the city, and the brothers are now carrying them to the grain depot!"

Quartermaster Tang Ru hurried in, and after speaking, he was not polite, picked up the tea on the table and drank it in big gulps.

"How many months of food and grass have been delivered?"

Tang Ru wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at First Young Master Liu with a somewhat gloomy look: "Two months old!"

Liu Mingzhi paused when he placed the flag, and turned his head to stare at Tang Ru closely: "Why is there only two months of food and grass? The commander's brochure clearly asked for five months of food and grass, but the food and grass that was delivered unexpectedly It’s not even half of it, so what’s going on with the Ministry of Households?”

Zhang Kuang also frowned slightly and put down the flag in his hand: "Where is the handover letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Tang Ru took out a piece of rice paper from his cuff and handed it to Liu Mingzhi.

Liu Mingzhi took the rice paper and flipped through it, and saw that the seal on it was indeed the seal of the Ministry of Households. He sat all the way from the member of the Ministry of Households, Wai Lang, to the servant of the Ministry of Households, so he was naturally quite clear about the seal of the Ministry of Households.

Seeing that the above-mentioned food and grass had only been approved for two months, Liu Mingzhi frowned and handed the rice paper to Zhang Kuang.

"What happened in the capital? Old Jiang promised himself before the commander-in-chief that he would not let the soldiers in northern Xinjiang go hungry to fight. Now they don't even have enough food and grass. This is not in line with Old Jiang's temperament at all. "

"Could it be that there are problems in other places that require a lot of money and food, but Lao Jiang will not fail to understand that the affairs of the northern border are more important than anything else. Once the northern border falls, half of my Dalong's country will completely fall. Lose at the hands of others!"

"Lao Jiang is not a person who can't tell the priorities, how could he only give him two months' food and grass!"

"In the past few months, I have already paid hundreds of thousands of loads of food and grass out of my own pocket. Although I can't say that I am poor now, I can only maintain my household expenses. I have no ability to store food and grass at all!"

"Two months can pass in the blink of an eye. If there is no food for successors, wouldn't it be impossible to let the brothers go hungry and fight!"

Zhang Kuang read the contents of the letter and put it aside.

"We are in northern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from the capital, and we don't even know what happened in the capital. Especially with the continuous war, the people want to go south, and there are a few who are willing to come north!"

"In this way, even if something happens in the capital, it won't reach us!"

"Two months is two months. It's better than nothing. It's better than nothing at all. Take it slowly first, and the book that urges food and grass should be paid!"

"The household department must catch up with the second batch of grain and grass on the schedule within a month, otherwise it will take at least a month to transport the grain and grass. Before the battle, the grain and grass are being transported. Brothers, don't talk about fighting, I'm afraid that you will be hungry. I don't even have the strength to stand up!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a gloomy face: "I understand this. I just can't figure out what happened in the capital. I can't even supply the food and grass needed for the war. It's okay!"

"Tang Ru!"

"The end is here!"

"Consecutively send ten notebooks to His Majesty, one a day, and send the matter of urgent food supplies to the capital!"

"Order!"

Liu Mingzhi went to the front of the table and began to write with a pen, then took out his personal seal and stamped it.

"Cheng Kai!"

"The end is here!"

"Go to the commander-in-chief's mansion, and give the letter to my bookboy Liu Song, and let him hurry to the capital. Be sure to hand over the letter to Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of the Household Department, and return immediately after receiving the letter. Yingzhou!"

"The end will be ordered!"

After the two left, Liu Mingzhi wandered around the hall with a gloomy expression.

Firstly, the recruits who had agreed to do so had no movement now, and now even the matter of food and grass went wrong, Liu Mingzhi's heart was completely confused, thinking about what happened in the capital.

"Do you suspect that there is trouble in the capital?"

Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at Zhang Kuang and nodded: "Don't doubt, there must be something wrong. Your Majesty is young and hastily ascended the throne. It is not enough to deter those fine old officials in the court!"

"The king is worried now, is it because some old ministers have thoughts that should not have arisen? Although it is unlikely that power and usurpation will happen, but it does not mean that it is impossible to form a party for personal gain and power to the public!"

"The left and right ministers, the nine ministers, the six ministers, and King Qing, who was spared by this king on purpose, and King Yun, both of them are possible!"

"Especially the Imperial Guards. In the last war, only [-]% of the Imperial Guards were left. Now [-]% of the Imperial Guards in the capital are recruits!"

"The recruits' foundation is not stable, especially some generals who have just been appointed. It is easy to get rich in order to get promoted, or to rely on some established forces in order to gain a foothold."

"We don't have much food and grass, and now the capital has only sent two months of food and grass, which means that there must have been a huge change in the Ministry of Households."

"It's not terrible for the army to attack the city. What's terrible is that once the food and grass are in crisis and there is a gap, then the morale of the army will be unstable and the people will panic."

"No matter how strong the city wall is, once there is a problem inside, it will collapse in an instant."

Zhang Kuang nodded silently: "It's not impossible for you to worry, but we can't pull our hands away to ask about things behind us now!"

"How about this, while there is still free time, let's go back and order our own troops to secretly investigate the affairs of the capital."

"No matter what happens in the capital, as long as we know the reasons, we can come up with a way to deal with it. It's better than being blind and not knowing anything!"

"Okay, let's split up, and the commander-in-chief will go back first!"

"Sorry for delivery!"
