Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 465

The outside of the border city is also full of greenery, but the atmosphere inside the city is indeed depressing.

In the town government's mansion in the city, there was even more silence.

Standing beside the big table in the military hall, Lord Zhen Guo frowned as he looked at the map spread out on it.

A counselor next to him took a careful look at him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's already summer, and the Beirong people have all returned to the grasslands at this time, so they probably won't attack again."

"No? Then those troops outside are fake?" Another person sneered.

"My lord, this year the imperial court's food payment has been delayed again and again. I heard that the Ninth Prince proposed from whom I still don't know, and then sent us hundreds of thousands of dans of food, but what can't stand it? Now Everyone can't eat enough, and they are so hungry that they have no strength at all, how can we fight this battle?" A lieutenant said dissatisfiedly holding his helmet.

"Vice General Park, what you said is a bit unreasonable. Most of the food that the Major General brought back last year was given to us, and the food that came this time is all ours. Fengcheng Wucheng, There is also Huaicheng, Daicheng, there is no food at all, if it is said that they are unable to fight, they are not much more difficult than us, but did the major general say that they cannot fight?" Another young captain who was just in his early twenties said dissatisfied .

As soon as he said this, the whole hall fell silent.

Duke Zhen also turned his head to look at him unconsciously.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

Yes, last year Cai Bing and the others succeeded because of his negligence, and they almost didn't give any food to the frontier army. It was Zhao Hao who tried his best, even at the expense of robbing food, to get back more than 300 million dans of food. Ordinarily, it was necessary to survive the winter , is actually enough.

At that time, the 50 dan that Rong Shizi helped, as well as the ones bought from Jingzhou, were sent directly to the four border towns in the northwest, while most of the other grains that Zhao Hao bought were sent to the border towns at that time, and they were snatched back later. The 120 million dans of refined grains in the city were replaced by more than 200 million tans of coarse grains. At that time, Zhao Hao had agreed with him that no matter which city was closed, he would send enough grains until April.

However, at that time, he had a grudge against Wucheng, so he suppressed it and didn't send it away. As for Fengcheng, he met a beautiful woman on the way there, so he arranged for his subordinates to do it, and he stayed at the inn for a few nights of carnival After that, I forgot to go to the Windy City.

Later, he learned about what Zhao Hao did in Jinzhou.

To be honest, he was extremely unhappy at that time.

It is true that what the Shui family did would not give up their hatred, but why can't they ask him about this kind of thing first?Moreover, there can be a better way to deal with it.

Just kill this kind of person in private.

Anyway, this food robbery case has become a case without a leader, so let the surname Wen take care of it, why pour dirty water on himself.

Even if you kill relatives righteously, then the Shui family is also the uncle's family of his Duke Zhen, his wife has been exposed to such a big scandal, where will he put the face of Duke Zhen?

Moreover, there is Tang Xiang.

Of course it would be a pity for that woman to collude with Tong Guan to harm them, but the child in her belly...

Would the woman he slept with know who the child belonged to?

Even if you have doubts and suspect that the child is not from the Zhao family, you can wait for her to give birth and see if she looks like it!
just killed...

In fact, you, Zhao Hao, are not because it is not from the Zhao family, but because you are afraid that someone will rob you of the position of the Duke of Zhen after the child is born, right?
Are you afraid that I will love the youngest son like those old fools who can't figure it out, and it will affect your status?
With such thoughts in mind, he rushed to Wucheng full of anger.

But when they arrived in Wucheng, they didn't see Zhao Hao.

At that time, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he grabbed General Wen to vent his anger. After he got angry, he pondered again, maybe Zhao Hao wasn't like that.

Zhao Hao is the son he brought out with his own hands. That child is upright, brave, courageous and resourceful, but he doesn't know how to use his mind.

Moreover, Zhao Hao's reputation in the frontier army is not low, not to mention the reputation that Zhao Hao has gained from fighting on the battlefield in the past few years. After a few battles, how could the bastard have the ability to threaten him?

Therefore, it should be that Zhao Hao was indeed too angry.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and waited until Zhao Hao came back.

Sure enough, Zhao Hao told him that the woman had colluded with the Beirong people and wanted to take the wife of Duke Zhen Guo captive to Beirong. At that time, as a husband, he could kill his relatives righteously, but as a son, Zhao Hao would be finished.

Moreover, Zhao Hao brought back so many silver and copper coins.

He forgave Zhao Hao and brought back the money.

However, when they saw how much their subordinates praised Zhao Hao, and some people said that this Zhao Hao was more powerful than the Duke of Zhenguo, and he was rich in food and money. Zhen Guogong didn't listen to what he said, I'm afraid it won't be long, the army here is what Zhao Hao said.

At that time, his heart skipped a beat. At this time, someone came to him privately and said that the book should not have been published. Once the book was published, it would be your Zhen Guogong who offended Xiang Cai and the others. It is you, Duke Zhen, who are resentful.

At that time, the man hid the words behind and didn't say anything, but he understood the meaning behind it. Zhao Hao got the rations and the money. At that time, the frontier army will resent Zhen Guogong and thank Zhao Hao. .

Zhao Hao is not jealous of that unborn child at all, he wants the right to be a frontier soldier right now!
That's why Zhao Hao deliberately told him that there are Tongguan spies around him, what kind of spies, they are all life and death friends with him for decades!
Because of this idea, he deliberately withheld the two battalions of Tiefeng and Tielin, not to mention that he didn't even ship the grain that was supposed to be delivered to Wucheng Fengcheng after the year.

Even if he received the military report from the other side, saying that the situation was not optimistic, and Zhao Hao urged him again and again, he blocked it because of the lack of food in the border town.

In March, Zhao Hao came back from Wucheng and asked him to send food to Fengcheng, but he still didn't agree.

At that time, Zhao Hao looked at him with extremely indifferent eyes, and then left.

He left with the two battalions of Tiefeng Tielin who had been detained all the time.

He was furious when he knew about it, but he didn't allow him to be furious for long, and the Beirong people attacked aggressively.

From the northwest, the border town, and Wucheng, attack together from three directions, and later a large army attacked Fengcheng.

At that time, he realized that something was wrong.

There has been no food, how can those pass cities stop it?

However, Zhao Hao blocked it.

Not only blocked it, but also defeated the Beirong people in Fengcheng.

In Xiaoguan City, where the military loss reached 50.00%, it forcibly blocked the sneak attack of the Beirong people.

He was proud of his son, but at the same time he felt ashamed, but amidst the shame, the stronger feeling was uneasiness and dissatisfaction.

If Zhao Hao can do it, so can Duke Zhen.

"My lord, didn't you say that the imperial court has already dispatched reinforcements?" A lieutenant general looked around and said in a low voice, "I think the food and grass will arrive later, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"

"That's right, if the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, who will be credited with the military achievements?" Deputy General Pu yelled.

The young lieutenant who spoke first glanced at Lieutenant General Park unconsciously, and then exchanged glances with the lieutenant who had been huddled in the corner of the room without speaking.

"You're right, we can't stay in the city and get beaten." Lord Zhen Guo slapped his hands on the table and said excitedly, "Let those Beirong people see how powerful our Zhao family army is!"
