Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 127

Lian Niang's heroic act moved the people behind Yuanjiang Shu, who consciously gathered around to discuss countermeasures.

For many years, the people of the garrison have been attached to the great Jin, and they have always been diligent, hardworking and never complaining. Every cent of the rations saved is a cent, and all of them are contributed to the soldiers of the Jin army.I never imagined that I would encounter such misfortune.

Never give up!

…………

In Yuanjiang Shu, the temporary residence of Xie Xuan, the champion general of the Northern Palace.

In the main hall, following a few reports from General Liu Chun, his tightly-knit brows finally relaxed a little.

Finally got the food!
Liu Chun wiped the water droplets on his face and continued to report: "General, now the leaders of the Jingzhou soldiers have gone to the city to urge food."

"Although there are not many villagers in Yuanjiangshu, according to a rough calculation, it is possible to collect [-] shi of grain. The war is imminent, and the subordinates know that the general is in a hurry, and they will do their best to collect grain."

It is said that a dog can jump over a wall when he is in a hurry.

Huan Chong is right, Xie Xuan has never been one to sit still. Although he could not predict that today's army's expedition would be delayed by the torrential rain, when he discovered this fact, his shrewd brain speeded up.

Soon, a remedy emerged.

Xie Xuan put his idea on the villagers of Yuanjiang Shu. This was obviously a helpless move, and at the same time, it was not in line with Xie Xuan's style of loving the people like a son.

How much food can the residents of Yuanjiangshu have in their hands?

The residents here originally needed to provide food to the soldiers in the garrison. The number of conscripts was large, and the food left by each household was enough for themselves.

Now, Xie Xuan ordered Liu Chun and the others to collect grain from house to house. So, what kind of grain was collected?
But it is the sustenance for the people to survive!

The life of the villagers in the garrison has been quite difficult. They have been working with their hands all year round. They have been busy for a whole year, and in the end, there is only a little food left.

I have worked hard year after year for this little bit of food.

Originally, they thought that their task was just to gather food for the garrison, and as long as they had enough, they could take a breath.

But I didn't think so, I was looking forward to it, I was looking forward to Xie Xuan, a wise and marvelous general, who even had to take food from the poor villagers in the garrison.

Only two hundred stones!

This number obviously cannot satisfy Xie Xuan's imagination, and it is too little. Although the flies are meat no matter how small, these two hundred stone grains are enough for the army to eat for five days!

Xie Xuan is clear-headed, how could he not know that his current behavior is no different from rushing troops to grab food?
But in order to solve more urgent problems, he could only sacrifice the villagers of Yuanjiang Shu. Of course, another important manifestation of General Xie's sobriety is that, of course, he will not come forward for such a detrimental thing, let alone It will be in the name of Beifu.

Whoever caused the disaster should be allowed to come forward.

It is more appropriate to push this matter to the people from the Jingzhou Department.

When Wang Mi arrived at Xie Xuan's residence, he saw exactly this scene, and he had to express admiration for Xie Xuan.

General Xie is indeed a person, and he has already arrived in such a field, and he can still source materials on the spot, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

Sure enough, those who can gain a firm foothold in the imperial court are not ordinary!
When Xie Xuan saw Wang Mi coming, he ordered the guards to call all the generals here. Wang Mi knew what Xie Xuan wanted to say, not to mention that the rain was urgent and heavy, the soldiers could not see the road in front of them at all. .

Even the current road conditions are definitely not suitable for marching. Ancient times are no better than modern times. There are asphalt roads everywhere.

In ancient times, there were loess roads everywhere, not to mention the pouring rain like now, even the ordinary drizzle, which would still make the roads muddy and impossible to walk at all.

"General Xie, isn't it inappropriate to ask the villagers in Yuanjiangshu to raise food?"

"It's not yet the harvest season. The villagers have handed in their food. What will they eat in the past few months?"

To be precise, Wang Mi is not the kind of old man who is overflowing with love, and he also knows that saying such words at this time will definitely touch Xie Xuan's brows.

However, he still couldn't help it, and he always had to talk about his conscience.

Sure enough, nothing escaped Wang Mi's imagination. As soon as he said this, Xie Xuan immediately raised his brows, his face extremely ugly.

The people who talk about soldiers on paper are talking beautifully again!
"Secretary Wang thinks the old man's actions are inappropriate?"

"You have a clever plan, why don't you think of a way now to see if you can raise food!"

Is not this nonsensical!

If there was a way, wouldn't he have said it last night!
"Junior really has no better way." Wang Mi had no choice but to say.

"Then don't do it any more!"

The gentle voice changed abruptly, and the sharp eyes also turned to Wang Mi.The urgent situation made Xie Xuan unable to condone Wang Mi's nonsense.

What if he saw the problem with the granary?

The one who really wanted a solution was still Xie Xuan.

Wang Mi didn't expect Xie Xuan to be so excited. He was slightly stunned, but it's impossible for you to want me to shut up.

"General Xie, the army is going to start tomorrow, so it's better not to cause trouble." Wang Mi said worriedly.

Xie Xuan didn't hear a word, instead he slapped the case and said angrily, "What kind of trouble can happen?"

"The lack of food in the army is the biggest mess!"

The culprit of Jiang Shu's lack of food is obviously Huan Chong. Xie Xuan is not clear about this, but Wang Mi's frivolous words still make him furious!

Up to now, any remarks that may disrupt the battle of Xiangyang cannot be allowed!

To capture Xiangyang, the arrow is already on the string, and it has to be sent!
Even if it is for the food accumulated in the mountains of Xiangyang City, it must be seized!
Seeing Xie Xuan's dejected appearance, Wang Mi shook his head helplessly.

With such a violent rain, Xie Xuan also instructed people to go out to grab food, what a sin!

The continuous heavy rain and the dark clouds covered the top, and an ominous premonition came to my mind again.

Under the summons of the guards, several generals soon gathered in the main room of Xie Xuan's residence.

Xie Xuan said with a stern face: "Today is unfavorable, the army has to suspend the march for one day, and I also ask the generals to appease their soldiers and let them rest in peace."

This is just a polite remark, those soldiers are the main soldiers under the generals, and they live a life where there is no tomorrow.

They can't wait to get another day off!

Which one would be uneasy, they were extremely relieved, and when Huan rushed out for a while, I had heard that the soldiers at the military camp had already begun to gamble!
