I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 239
"According to the itinerary, you should have almost arrived in Bianzhou by now, right?"

Li Jing couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that, he turned his head and said.

"Order to go on, reward the three armies today, and set off early tomorrow morning, we will go to Bianzhou—"

These days, the little military funds I brought are used to accommodate the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind by Zhang Yansheng. If Li Ke's food team doesn't come again, everyone will be hungry...

Even so, those people were arranged along the Bian River in the first place.I hope that His Highness Li Ke can really do what Wang Zi'an said, and bring food to help the victims along the coast, otherwise——Li Jing is also in a hurry to seek medical treatment, so he can only let Wang Zi'an do what he wants.

As soon as I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu had brought a large amount of food, not far away in Bianzhou, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, even the captives and the victims of the disaster in Huainan, Shandong, walked vigorously, no one was needed at all. Supervision urges.If you don't rush to Bianzhou before the food runs out, you have to go hungry...

Looking at the cheering and laughing team, Li Jing's eyes flashed a hint of worry.Even if Li Ke can bring the grain team to Bianzhou on time, how much grain can he bring?
On my way, I have resettled 5 to 20 people along the Bianshui River, and now I have almost 25 victims including the army and the two places—that is to say, the population of about [-] has to rely on Li Ke's grain fleet, what kind of fleet can transport so much grain?

But he couldn't say that.For the current plan, we still have to take a step, take a step, and maintain the situation in front of us first.As for Li Hongtong and the rioters in Henan who have already gathered in Zhengzhou, he really can't care about it, and let those people in Chang'an and Guanzhong do the hard work...

Before he arrived in Bianzhou, Li Ke was sweating on the tip of his nose.

The food he brought was not enough at all. Although he arranged according to the minimum amount along the way, when he reached Bianzhou, he still consumed a full third.The population base of the victims is too large, and the most frightening thing is to sit on the mountain and eat nothing. Everyone is eagerly waiting for his relief.

But with so many people, even if I evacuate the whole of Sichuan, I'm afraid I can't solve the problem!Li Ke couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, helpless.Looking at Li Chunfeng, who was sent by Wang Zi'an to assist him, he let out a long sigh.

"Sir, can you teach me anything?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although Li Chunfeng has profound Taoism and is proficient in divination, he is not a god, nor is he a talent for governing the world.If I can't get food by myself, I'm afraid it's useless to ask.Unexpectedly, Li Chunfeng looked at the clouds in the sky without saying a word for a long time, and only after a long time turned around, he replied lightly with an irrelevant sentence.

"Everything is predestined, and the wind and the clouds will meet. Your Highness is here, and the weather is different from before."

Li Ke was stunned, and said in his heart that I know you are a magic stick, but is it really appropriate for you to tell me this at this time?He only thought that Li Chunfeng had nothing to do and wanted to change the subject to avoid embarrassment, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just frowned, looking at the desolate situation on both sides of the strait, frowning endlessly.

"If Zi'an is here, there may be a solution, but maybe..."

He was sighing inwardly, when suddenly he heard his subordinates coming to inform him.

"Bianzhou Inspector Buliang led the elders in the city to greet him."

Li Ke quickly picked up his mood, squeezed out a faint smile on his face, and strode off the boat.This Buliang is the governor of Bianzhou. When Li Hongtong's army was passing through the border, he closed the city tightly, mobilized all the government officials and guards in the city, opened warehouses to release food, recruited many rangers in the city, patrolled day and night, and put on a In the posture of living and dying with Bianzhou, Li Hongtong was busy going west to Chang'an, and he didn't want to fight him here. He was lucky to save the city, and the people in the city were saved from the destruction of the war.

Li Ke received these local officials and local powerful gentry on the shore, and then moved into the governor's mansion surrounded by these people.

That night, Bu Liang held a grand banquet for him at the Governor's Mansion to welcome him.There were so many guests and laughter that night.Li Ke couldn't help feeling unhappy when he thought of what he saw along the way, the ruins of the people and the starvation on the way.Not long after the banquet was held, I went back to rest by myself on the pretext of being tired from the journey.

"I thought that Bu Liang was able to guard the city for the country, but he was a capable official. Who would have thought that when I saw it today, I would be very disappointed. These people are drunk and dream of death, and they don't care about the life and death of the people. Thinking about it, it's really chilling—"

When Li Ke returned to his residence, he couldn't help complaining to the personal servant beside him.

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Li Gong and Wang Xianzi will come over in two days. Maybe they can relieve His Highness's worries."

Li Ke glanced back at him and scolded with a smile.

"You're so clever. But you're right. If Li Gong and Zi'an come, maybe you can come up with a good plan to deal with it! By the way, you can arrange it and let Shuzhong quickly raise the second batch of food. The more the better, hurry up and deliver them!"

……

Waking up early the next morning, when Bu Liang and others came to greet him, Li Ke had already gone out of the city with his own staff to inspect the place.Bu Liang and the others couldn't help but look at each other. His Highness the King of Shu seems to be a little different.

"Everyone go back, and remember to keep an eye on everyone's side. If someone gets out of the basket and is caught by His Highness, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

A group of people responded one after another and scattered away, and then Bu Liang ordered lightly to the followers around him.

"Let's go, let's follow and see what our Highness, King of Shu, is up to—"

The city of Bianzhou was not affected by the rioters, but the refugees outside were coerced by Li Hongtong and others.Apart from the collapsed courtyard walls, what Li Ke saw along the way were collapsed houses, ten rooms and nine empty rooms, a piece of desolation and dilapidation.This made him sigh incessantly, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.If the refugees are still here, the food on hand may be even more stretched.

"Your Highness, the people in the city are already very short of food. Your Highness has brought so much food this time. Everyone wants to know when His Highness will start releasing food—of course, we will not take His Highness's food in vain. We will Bianzhou will pay to buy all of His Highness's food..."

Bu Liang laughed along with him, and asked pertinently.Li Ke turned his head and stared at him with a gloomy face for a while, seeing that his eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, without any strange expression, Li Ke waved his hands a little impatiently.

"These grains are useful to me."

Bu Liang opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but suddenly he heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.When he looked up, he saw a servant running towards him at a trot.

"Your Highness, Duke Li and Prince Wang have arrived!"

Li Ke couldn't help being overjoyed, he dropped Bu Liang, and turned around without looking back.Bu Liang's face was cloudy and uncertain, he pondered for a while, and followed him.

"Wang Zi'an—I want to see who it is!"
