Chapter 417 Letter from the Emperor

"Yes, my son knows."

Hearing what Old Hou Ye said, Uncle Su knew that Old Hou Ye supported Murong Li and would not stand on Murong Yi's side.

As far as the abilities of the two are concerned, Murong Li's superiority is more beneficial to Xifeng Kingdom than Murong Yi's superiority. Murongli can make a big move to strengthen Xifeng Kingdom, while Murong Yi's superiority does not have such a long-term vision. Just like today, his eyes will only be fixed. Staring at the chair under his buttocks, things that benefit the country and the people will only come second.

In terms of heart, Murong Yi is no match for Murong Li, he is narrow-minded and short-sighted.

If he came to power, the Marquis of Anding would definitely cease to exist.

The second child was only thinking about assisting Murong Yi, but he didn't think about the consequences. He probably was made a big cake by Murong Yi. He didn't want to think about it. If Murong Yi took the position, he would definitely not treat the Anding Hou Mansion well, and would definitely kill the donkey. .

With Murong Yi's narrow-minded temperament, how could he keep the second bedroom of the Su family who is related to the first wife of the Su family.

The second child thought too naively and simply.

Uncle Su talked with Old Hou Ye for a while, Uncle Su hurried back to his study, finished writing the letter to Murong Li, and called for comfort.

Hand over the letter he wrote to our secret guard: "Take two people with you, rush to the border as quickly as possible, and hand the letter into the hands of the eldest lady, or into the hands of the king.

In the event of an emergency, destroying the letter will not allow the letter to fall into the hands of others. "

"Yes, master, the subordinate will deliver the letter to the eldest lady even if he tries his best."

The dark guard took the letter and vowed.

"Okay, hurry up, and then protect the eldest lady and come back."

"Yes, master."

"Well, let's go."

The dark guard nodded and walked away.

In Qingniuguan City, the first batch of officials from the household department sent by the emperor to deliver a letter to Murongli arrived. After saluting, Mr. Wang carefully took out a letter and presented it to Murongli: "The next official sees King Li. This is the letter sent by the emperor. Please read the letter sent by the official to King Li."

"My lord, please get up."

Murong Li took the letter from Mr. Wang, and immediately opened it to read it. Sure enough, as they had heard before, the emperor neither sent troops, nor sent food, nor did he have a tael of silver. The reason for the material is that the treasury is empty now, there are no soldiers and no food, and if you can't send troops and can't get food, there is naturally no money.

Now there are not many soldiers left in Qingniuguan, so he can still overcome the difficulty by letting him figure out a way.

Murong Li sneered in his heart, he knew the emperor quite well, if he wanted to make up his own mind, he would give him some food and grass if he didn't have any money, this was the result of Murong Yi's obstruction.

Knowing this before, he was not very angry at that time, but when he saw the emperor's handwritten letter, Murong Li couldn't help being angry.

This idiot Murong Yi, in order to trap him here, made fun of the lives of so many people at the border gate.

Now that the snow has not melted, and another war has passed, the common people have nothing to eat, so where can they get food.

You idiot, if such a person comes to power, within ten years, Xifeng Kingdom will collapse.

He glanced at Mr. Wang, and said lightly: "This king knows, Mr. Wang, go down and rest."

Mr. Wang cupped his hands: "Then I will resign."

Mr. Wang hurried forward, with a tired face on his face, he let out a sigh of relief after stepping back, and finally delivered the letter, Prince Li hadn't lost his temper yet.

Murongli put the letter away and went to find General Wu.

Now that the emperor has sent a letter, he must act quickly.

The soldiers that can be recruited in the villages near the Qingniu Mountains have been recruited, and now they have to start recruiting soldiers inside the pass (the outside of the Qingniu Pass is called outside the pass).

The soldiers in the border must be sent to General Wu. After all, he has guarded the border for many years. In the hearts of the people in the border, he is their backbone.

General Wu has been injured for a while, and the injury has recovered so much that he can get up and walk around by himself.

"General, King Li is here."

As soon as General Wu got up and was about to walk a few times, soldiers came to report.

General Wu said happily: "Please."

The soldiers hurried out and raised the curtain for Murongli: "Please come in, King Li."

Murong Li waved at him, and then entered the tent.

"At the end of the day, I will see King Li."

General Wu is about to kneel down and salute.

Murong Li helped him up: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so let's get rid of them. This king is here today to discuss something with you. You can sit down."

General Wu nodded and hurriedly sat back on the bed. Murongli also sat down on the stool next to him, and then he said directly: "The soldiers outside the customs are almost recruited, but they only recruited a thousand or so. For the troops needed by the border , which is not enough.

What I mean is that some counties in the pass will be recruited, and this matter will be handed over to General Wu. What does General Wu think? "

After hearing this, General Wu said in deep doubt: "Thank you, my lord, for looking up to the general. I would like to ask, is there no soldier from the imperial court?"

Murong Li shook his head: "No, the people sent by the imperial court came today and sent a letter, asking this king to conscript troops here, and he is conscripting food."

General Wu was startled when he heard this: "Do you want us to recruit the soldiers?"

No food, no money, no soldiers?
General Wu couldn't believe it, he couldn't understand what the court meant.

Could it be that the emperor was annoyed that he had lost the battle?

But the soldiers who came back didn't say anything, the emperor didn't even reproach him, he just asked him to guard the border.

Murongli nodded, seeing General Wu's bewildered look, he didn't explain the reason to him, he just said: "Yes, there are not enough troops at all the frontiers, we can't draw any troops, and it's not suitable for conscription now, at least We have to wait until after the beginning of spring, and all the soldiers recruited at that time are recruits, so we still need to practice by ourselves. Instead of doing this, we should recruit troops ourselves.

In fact, this king has thought about this matter a long time ago. The sooner we recruit soldiers, the sooner we train soldiers, the sooner they can be used. "

Murong Li has been busy for the past few days and has no time to discuss this matter with General Wu for the time being. It just so happened that the emperor sent a letter today, so he took the opportunity to discuss this matter with General Wu.

After hearing this, General Wu smiled wryly in his heart and said: "Wang Li's method is certainly good, but there are not many people in the frontier, and there are few strong laborers. It is very difficult to recruit about [-] soldiers.

Moreover, after the levy, many families will have no labor force, which will make it even more difficult for the people at the border. "

At the border, there are usually ordinary people who volunteer to join the army, which makes the small families stretched hard. This is even worse. For some families, it is simply worse.

Murongli knew what General Wu was worried about, he said: "This king knows about this situation, so this king thought about strengthening Qingniu Pass City, if Qingniu Pass is strong, we don't need so many troops.

Now there is no need to levy [-] troops, just tens of thousands.

And for this conscription, each person will be given ten taels of silver, and then each recruit will be given a load of food and ten catties of meat at home. The age limit is between 15 and 30 years old. General Wu sees such conditions, can he recruit [-] recruits? "
