Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 518
"Ah, General Liu, you are poaching a corner in front of the General."

"That's right, if I were a great general, I would be annoyed. With such a loyal and skillful girl, who would be willing to let her go!"

Everyone was joking, but the corners of their eyes were aimed at Gong Zhiming.There are more or less lovely maids in their family to warm the bed. Earlier, Forsythia came to serve the general's food, drink and clothes. They guessed that they might be the people in the general's house, but sometimes they didn't look like them, and they were patient. I can't help being curious, and my heart is like a cat scratching.

Who said that men don't gossip, I didn't expect the rough people who went on the battlefield to gossip even more.

Lianqiao was not happy in her heart, she wanted to swear, but she was afraid of embarrassing the general, so she held back her anger and retreated behind Gong Zhiming.

Gong Zhiming swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth, glanced at everyone, and said, "Lianqiao is my wife's right-hand man, and I have already promised Dr. Zhou. Don't make jokes in the future, my wife is notorious."

Everyone was embarrassed to hear that, and hurriedly laughed dryly to smooth things over, "Ah, Dr. Zhou is really lucky. He married Miss Forsythia, and he will be lucky in the future."

"That's right, Bodhisattva Yun's capable servant girl, the ancestors of the Zhou family must have accumulated virtue and done good deeds."

Lian Qiao heard this, and secretly rolled her eyes, these people probably thought that the general's words were polite, but they didn't know that her wife was really fierce, and soon, they might be scared out of their teeth.

After Gong Zhiming finished his last mouthful of pancakes, he pushed the remaining half bowl of rabbit meat to the middle of the table, several young generals ate it with a smile on their face, and Lian Qiao swiftly cleared away all the bowls and chopsticks.

The map was reopened, and Sima Xingjun also arranged the account books, and everyone looked a little bad.

For one thing, the two armies are pressing down on the border, and one's own side does not have an advantage in numbers and geographical advantages. There is really no way to win.Second, there is a shortage of logistics supplies.

"How much food and grass are there in the rear camp?"

Gong Zhiming held a pencil inlaid in Haibei in his hand, drew a few lines on the map, and turned to ask the Sima of the Marching Army.

Marching Sima's face was a bit bitter, but he still told the truth, "To tell you the truth, the general, there is only enough food and grass for the army for three days."

"what?"

Hearing this, not to mention Gong Zhiming, even the other generals were really shocked.

The capital in Sanfan City is only a few hundred miles away, and the transportation of supplies is very cheap, how could it be possible to fall into such a situation.

The Sima of the marching army hurriedly knelt down on one knee to plead guilty, "General Rong, the officials have been urging the capital for food and grass. Earlier, the capital said that food and grass were being raised, but later it was said that there were refugees blocking the city gate, and most of the food was robbed when it was shipped out. So ..."

"Ridiculous!" An old general slapped the table angrily, "What does the city defense army do? Could it be that they can't even defeat a few refugees?"

"That's right, without food, how can we win the battle!"

"This news must not be leaked, otherwise it may affect morale!"

All the generals chattered and talked lively, but they didn't have any substantive suggestions at all. The general who glanced at the main seat out of the corner of his eye was somewhat expectant and apprehensive.On the one hand, he was curious about what a good solution this world-renowned general would have, and on the other hand, it was mixed with some scrutiny.

The old general who patted the table first frowned and persuaded, "Don't worry, general. Tomorrow, the old general will go to Sanfan City to have a look. It would be the best if he can bring some food and grass nearby."

It's a pity that a general who was born in Sanfan City next to him extinguished the hope that everyone had just ignited.

"Even if the old general goes to the city, he might not be able to get a grain of grain back. You forgot, before the flood last year, the eldest prince...well, the two-way anti-kings sold the grains of the Changping warehouses in various state capitals behind the backs of the former emperors. It’s all gone. This year is already drought, although the drought in Sanfan City is not the worst, but after all, the production has been reduced by half, and it is not easy to get food tax from the people..."

Gong Zhiming listened carefully, now he raised his eyes and glanced at the young general who was speaking, and finally gave Yu Chihui a wink.He had just taken over an army of [-], and he was not familiar with generals and soldiers. Today's meeting in one place to discuss matters was not so much the judgment of the crowd, but his observation and test of the crowd.The young general who spoke just now is obviously the best among the generals. Not only can he march and deploy troops, but he also has some understanding of people's livelihood. He is a malleable talent.

"For the issue of food and grass, everyone should think of a way, and we will discuss it tomorrow. But the fact that there is no food in the army has been strictly leaked. Tomorrow, 2 people will be sent into the mountains to encircle wild animals and explore the terrain to ensure the safety of the camp."

Gong Zhiming ended tonight's discussion with one sentence. Although it did not completely solve the problem of food shortage, it is still a good way. At least the food and grass for the 2 horses who will go up the mountain tomorrow will be saved. Back to some meat.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. All the generals saluted and went back to their respective tents with heavy expressions.

Seeing that the surroundings were much cleaner, and they were all the soldiers brought by his own general, Yu Chihui then asked, "General, what should I do, Da Yue is really too poor, there are many floods and droughts, and indeed there is no food."

Gong Zhiming also nodded, his two black brows knit together, and he rarely responded, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

This sentence was often mentioned by Ding Wei before, but now, Yuchi regrets thinking of his empress and the delicious dishes on the table, so he swallowed a mouthful and said with emotion, "If the empress is in front of you That's enough, the empress is the smartest, and she will definitely have a good way."

Gong Zhiming looked at the night outside the tent with his eyes full of longing.Now his son has returned to Taoyuan Island, his wife and children are finally reunited safely, and he has no worries about the future. He is not afraid of even the most difficult things.

"Tomorrow you will lead the team into the mountains, and I will go to the city in micro-clothes."

"No, General, Dai Viet's forces are complicated now, if there is any danger..."

Yu Chihui stopped him, but Gong Zhiming waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, "Sanfan is located on an important road, together with the southwest, northwest and the capital, there are many merchants in the city, and the gentry are everywhere. These people must have surplus food. If they can open the granary, at least they can supply food." Two months' food for the army."

Yuchi regrets that he is not an idiot, of course he knows that this method is feasible, but he is still worried about letting his master enter the city alone.

This is not Donghao, the common people respect the general extremely, if he meets two people who support the anti-king and use Xiao Xiao's tricks to hurt his master, how will he explain to his mother after he returns.

"No way, general, let the last general go with you!"

"No, you stay."

When the two were arguing, they heard someone suddenly say from the corner of the tent, "My lord, there is a secret letter from my subordinates!"

Gong Zhiming heard the reputation and looked over, but it was Feng Jiu.Ever since he left the Donghao Palace, this kid has been carried out by Feng Yi to run errands. After a few months, he has already changed from his original white and clean appearance, his face is tanned, but he is much shrewd and capable.

"Send it up!"

Gong Zhiming nodded, Feng Jiu hurried forward, Gong Zhiming raised his hand and patted the subordinate who had been taking care of him for the longest time, and said flatly, "It's solid, hard work!"

Feng Jiu didn't expect that the always deserted Lord would care about him so much, so he knelt down on one knee excitedly, "I will be loyal to the Lord, and I will never say anything."

"Don't learn these vain etiquettes from Tongfeng!" Gong Zhiming raised his hand to help him up, and then he opened the secret letter, but the joy on his face couldn't be concealed just after he glanced at it.

Yuchi regretted that it was rare to see his general master so happy, and he was so curious that he wished he could pretend to be ten cats. He wanted to stretch his head to see what was written on the letter, but he was afraid of offending the master, so he could only wink at the wind, looking forward to him Tip one or two.

It's a pity that Feng Jiu smiled and poured tea, and ignored him at all, and he jumped in anger.

Fortunately, Gong Zhiming received the letter quickly, and said, "The family has given support, and the food will arrive in three days!"

"Really?" Yuchi gaped his mouth in joy, wishing he could raise his head to the sky and howl a few times.If his general was defeated in the first battle in Dayue because of lack of food and grass, he would have died unjustly.

It's all right now, the family has sent support, and at critical moments, my family is the most reliable!
"General, that's great! Could it be that Madam transported food from the island? That's a big risk!"

Gong Zhiming's expression became a little more complicated, and he shook his head and said, "No, it was Wen Lan who bought grain in Donghao and transported it by boat at Jinhekou."

"What?" Yu Chihui's eyes widened, "Could it be that Qin Rui is blind and deaf? If he knew, how could he allow the grain boat to cross the river mouth? Unless he is crazy!"

"Maybe," Gong Zhiming couldn't figure it out, but after all, the immediate predicament was resolved.

"Block the news, and then call General Wu over. In addition, let Sanfan City Governor come here to discuss the matter tomorrow!"

"Yes, General."

The so-called food in the warehouse, don't panic.Hearing that the support was coming soon, Yu Chi regretted that he had more strength to walk, his back was straightened, and he quickly called General Wu over.

This General Wu was the young general who knew people's livelihood very well in his conversations during the previous discussions. Now he was suddenly summoned by the general alone, and he was a little puzzled.

But after hearing Gong Zhiming's low-pitched instructions, he received the command arrow again, his expression was very excited, and he knelt down and promised solemnly, "Don't worry, the Lord, I will swear to my death to complete the task."

"You are a good general, and the people of Da Viet will still need you to keep them safe. Go!"

"The end will obey orders!"

General Wu carefully stowed away the command arrow, and then strode out, leaving Yu Chihui feeling a little worried, "General, if General Wu is untrustworthy, the food...wouldn't it be..."

"Employees are not suspicious, suspects are not used!"

"Oh... yes, the general is wise."

There was nothing to say all night, and when I woke up the next day, the already busy barracks became even more busy.

Yu Chihui took half of the generals and [-] troops to hunt, cleared the excuse of rebelling against the king and scouting horses, and went up the mountain to "play".

The remaining [-] soldiers and horses were divided into [-], led by General Wu, who drove all the carriages and even the carts out of the camp quickly.

Some generals and soldiers were curious, but they didn't find any news after inquiring, so they could only keep their doubts in their hearts.

When the sun was high, the fat governor of Sanfan City came to the barracks with a worried expression on his face. Seeing the empty camp, the fat man's expression became even worse.
