The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Chapter 55 I Want To Protect Ourselves, Is It Wrong?

In the past year, Bei Liao's attack on the Li family's army mainly focused on the logistics support of the Li family's army.

For example, convoys transporting grain were frequently attacked. Due to the leak of information, Bei Liao was not only very familiar with the route of transporting grain, but also had a detailed grasp of the departure time.

Even later, with various disguises, most of the rations could not escape Bei Liao's surprise attack.

Beiliao people usually send a few small teams of capable men and horses to harass them many times along the way, regardless of the morning or evening, regardless of the terrain, making the soldiers escorting the food and grass feel like frightened birds and highly nervous.

Then, when they were slack and tired, they charged and slashed.

And, never love to fight.
Then, take the opportunity to burn food.

If the Li family's army was heavily guarded, the Beiliao people would pour oil on themselves and pounce on the grain truck.

Therefore, in most cases, although the food was not taken away, a lot of food was burnt and burned.

Although it is the leftover food that can be eaten.But the quality and taste are greatly reduced.

In addition, the nutritional content will also be severely damaged.

Ji Jun was secretly angry.

Another more difficult situation is that the medicinal materials shipped to the army were also destroyed more seriously.

The burnt grain may be able to make up for this hunger.

Once the medicinal materials are burned, or even just smoked, they have lost their efficacy.

Gradually, Li Jiajun began to suffer from a shortage of doctors and medicines.

In addition, some civilians at the border were not spared either.

From planting in spring to harvesting in autumn, they are always worried about sneak attacks from Beiliao people.

Sometimes in a village, dozens of people are working in the fields when weeding in the morning, and when they return home in the evening, they will find that one or several farmers have been killed.

As a result, the people at the border gates were panicked and unable to farm with peace of mind. Many people abandoned their homes and moved in with their families.

As a result, large tracts of land were barren, followed by crop failures.

Although Li Jiajun's military rations are still sufficient, the number of vegetables is significantly reduced.

Ji Yun was secretly startled. She remembered some historical records she had read in her previous life. There was a great Khan of the Junggar Khanate named Galdan who once said a word:

"From now until now, soldiers have been used every year, summers have ravaged your farming, and autumns have burned your crops. Now I am not yet forty, and my teeth have turned white and my teeth have fallen out."

She still doesn't know much about the specific year of the dynasty she belongs to, in short, it is a fictional dynasty.

However, it must have been after the Tang Dynasty, because Ji Min could say "Tang poetry" casually.

There is no way, after passing through, I keep fighting with those backyard women, I have no time and no mood to learn historical knowledge.

At present, no matter what origin this Bei Liao has with this Galdan, the number of paths is the same.

And, it seems, it's tough! It's also a tough one!

Li Keguan, an orphan, has a name called "Zhan".After joining the Li Family Army, he fought bravely and was selected into the "Scout Battalion".

Later, he asked to follow Li Guogong, so he got a surname.Named Li Zhan.

Li Zhan said:
"In the past year, many soldiers have inexplicably experienced some fatigue, shortness of breath, rough skin, ulcerated lips, some even swollen bodies, and some gibberish and slow movements."

Ji Min's small eyebrows were twisted into a twist, his eyes were full of worry.

Ji Yun held her hand and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, my cousin has a solution."

This should be "B vitamin deficiency", especially "beriberi" caused by vitamin B1 deficiency.

Li Zhan said again: "There are also some soldiers, like the subordinates, who for some reason sometimes can't see clearly, and it's even darker at night. But sometimes they get better for no reason. At first they didn't care, but later , Such situations began to appear frequently, and the number of personnel began to increase, and the generals and military advisers began to feel that there was a problem."

Li Mi said with a heavy tone, "What did the military doctor say?"

Li Zhan shook his head: "At first I thought it was poisoning, but after repeated inspections, it was ruled out. Later, my subordinates came out to deliver the letter. That day, it was suddenly dark in front of my eyes. I followed the people in here, and I smelled the smell of rice after I sat down. After taking a few bites, I..."

Having said that, Li Zhan looked a little embarrassed.

I have almost no money on me, and I still go to restaurants, as if I want to eat free food.

Ji Yun suddenly asked:
"Are there any meat dishes in the meals in the military camp?"

Li Zhan gave a wry smile and said:
"Miss is really asking! In the past, the Duke, the Son, and the General were sympathetic to the soldiers, and even used their salaries to buy livestock and poultry from surrounding farmers to provide extra meals for the soldiers. Sometimes, you can also buy food from Hunt some prey in the nearby forests. However, I don’t know what method Bei Liao used. In the past year, the number of animals in the woods near our army has decreased significantly.”

Ji Yun thought to himself, this is the "night blindness" caused by lack of vitamin A!

"Is there a river nearby?" Ji Jun asked again.

Fish can also supplement some vitamins, especially vitamin A.

Li Zhan shook his head:

"There are several rivers near Li Jiajun's garrison, but the upper reaches are all over Bei Liao. They have set up a lot of nets in the upper reaches, so the fish that can come downstream are few and small!"

Ji Jun almost doubted whether there were also time-travelers in Beiliao?

This operation led to non-combat downsizing of the Li family army!
Zhou Huan's eyes were full of anxiety, but his tone was calm:

"My lord, should I report to His Majesty and ask the imperial doctor to go to the border to treat the soldiers!"

Ji Yun thought, why didn't he report to the head of the Ministry of War?
Although she doesn't understand the court affairs, she still understands this procedure.

Could it be that these people in front of you have the privilege of "walking in front of the imperial court"?

Or, is there a direct "channel" to Tianting?
If so, hugging their thighs is much better than hugging Yang's!
Zhou Biao said anxiously: "That's natural! This situation can't be known to those who don't work in the Ministry of War! I have always suspected that the information leak has something to do with them! Even if it's not those officials and masters, at least they are not strictly supervised! Big cousin, Let's pass the sign directly, and see the Holy One!"

Li Mi remained silent, as if hesitating for something.

Zhou Huan looked at it, opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Biao thought for a while, and seemed to understand the crux of the matter, so he sat down helplessly and worriedly.

Ji Jun looked at Ji Min, his eyes full of puzzlement:

If you don't tell the Ministry of War, and don't report it to the emperor, you can't solve it yourself. What's your plan?
Ji Min spoke softly, as if to explain, but also as to ask:
"Big cousin, is there someone suspicious by your side?"

In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian smiled and looked at the fifth prince Zhou Chendong who came to pay his respects.

Among the emperor's thirteen sons, the third prince was the most handsome and unparalleled in appearance.

The second is Zhou Qile, the Seventh Prince who was born of the Concubine Qin, who really has a face as beautiful as jade, as polished as a whetstone.

But compared to the third prince, he lacked that peerless astonishment.

The fifth prince, with handsome eyebrows and handsome eyes, is tall and tall, with a natural temperament.

There is a hint of melancholy between the brows, a coolness, and a bit of heroism.

In a trance, it was like seeing that young general with silver helmet and silver armor!

Zhou Chendong is gentle and moist as usual:
"Mother Jiao is well!"

Concubine Jiao Xian laughed and reproached:

"How many times have I said it! You are still so out of touch! But, are you still angry with your thirteenth brother?"

Zhou Chendong panicked and said:

"I don't dare! Thirteenth brother is still young, and I can understand his feelings, so I especially don't want Thirteenth brother to misunderstand!"

Concubine Jiao Xian waved her hand, signaling the Fifth Prince to sit down:

"Let him go! One day he will understand your kindness!"

There was a glimmer of darkness in Zhou Chendong's eyes.

Concubine Jiao Xian said again:
"In a few days, there will be a banquet in Chen Guogong's mansion. Your elder brothers who have already opened the mansion have already been invited. You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so you should get close!"

Zhou Chendong's lowered eyes should be, and immediately raised his eyes and asked with concern:

"Your thirteenth brother, do you want to go together? My son is here to pick him up."

Concubine Jiao Xian was startled, and quickly smiled and said:

"He is a child, what to do!"

Then, he picked up the teacup, took a sip and said:

"The seventh prince didn't go either, and I couldn't let Thirteen go, and Chen Guogong didn't invite the younger prince, probably because he was worried that he wouldn't take good care of him."

Zhou Chendong's heart slipped through the cold, but the smile on his face remained unchanged:
"What the concubine mother said is true, my son has recorded it!"

Ji Jun's mind quickly turned hundreds of circles, and she made a decision in her heart. She walked up to Li Mi, raised her head slightly, and looked straight into Li Mi's eyes:

"My lord, my Ji family has a unique secret recipe that can save thousands of soldiers of the Li family army. Moreover, I can also teach you a fast, efficient, secret and convenient way to transmit information. However, I have a condition——"

The corners of Li Mi's lips curled up, with a warm smile, he said softly:
"What do you think."

Ji Jun suddenly thought of a word "love".

Cough cough, business matters, don't be fooled by beauty!
Ji Yun said seriously:

"First, this is the secret recipe of my Ji family. I contributed it to the Li family army. Therefore, the credit goes to my uncle. I ask the court to give my uncle a promotion. Now he is the fourth rank. If he is not promoted to the third rank, he must follow the third rank."

As soon as these words came out, Li Mi's smile froze a little.

Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao looked at Ji Jun in disbelief.

Ji Yun ignored them, humming in his heart, what the hell, I have to offer advice to you for free, anyway, I am a merchant woman, I just want money and goods.

I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

Ji Jun continued: "Secondly, I'm asking you to be the county head for my cousin. As for me, my status is low, so I can just give it to the county king!"

Zhou Biao raised two fingers and waved them in front of Ji Jun's eyes.

Ji Yun rolled his eyes at him: "What are you doing? Take your paw away!"

Zhou Biao looked at Ji Jun with crazy eyes:
"Eldest sister, you are not sleepwalking! Do you understand? My sister is the head of the county!"

Ji Jun sneered:
"Yes, your sister is amazing! Let your sister go to the border to treat the soldiers! Does your sister know how to heal? How dare you be the county head if you don't know how to treat diseases? The corpse is a vegetarian meal! Hurry up and make room for the capable ones, and she has it." Self-knowledge!"

Zhou Biao was choked in one breath!Pointing at Ji Jun, after a while, he flicked his sleeves and sat aside to sulk.

Zhou Huan coughed lightly and said:
"Miss Ji, the military situation is urgent, please don't joke! People will say that you are taking advantage of others."

Ji Yun looked Zhou Huan up and down, feeling displeased, but for his sake, hum, I can bear it.

Ji Jun smiled lightly:
"I'm not joking. A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Although there are big figures in Beijing who steal from others, even though I am a commoner, I will not use the lives of thousands of soldiers as bargaining chips to achieve my goals."

Zhou Huan showed a polite smile, noncommittal.

Zhou Biao hummed on the side.

Ji Jun just suppressed his anger and came up angrily:

"What are you humming? Doesn't the imperial court pay attention to meritorious deeds and rewards? With you, those who have status will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. We deserve to spend money, effort, brain, and heart for nothing? I didn't steal or rob. I earned money based on my skills. Earning fame is just joking and taking advantage of other people's dangers! Then you Zhou Shizi understands righteousness so well, why don't you give up your royal seat to our sisters? We get what we want, and you also fulfill righteousness! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Talk about feelings, let’s talk together, don’t say one thing and do another!”

Anyway, Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao are all surnamed Zhou!
love whoever!
Zhou Huan's face was slightly sullen, but he still said softly:

"Miss Ji, forgive me for my inappropriate words, but this matter is not up to us to decide, and it's a big matter..."

Ji Jun interrupted Zhou Huan impatiently:

"If you can't do it, if you say it can't be done, don't label me! Don't worry, I will save people if I should! But I have to make this request. You have to think about whether to help me and how to help me!"

Li Mi asked softly:
"Why do you have to be like this?"

Ji Jun shrugged, with a calm expression:
"I don't want to be bullied! My uncle and aunt went to the border to defend the country, and my cousin and I were bullied, ridiculed, and framed in the capital! Why don't you come forward to teach Su Jin a lesson? I want to protect ourselves , Is there something wrong? If we have the title, the two of us will move out of Huai'an Marquis Mansion and set up our own family! This will save us from worrying about Su Jin and the others' black hands every day!"
