"We have been out of food for eleven days."

In eleven days, the people of the cities, towns and villages near the feudal towns saved from their mouths and sent food to the soldiers in garrison.

Later, there was no food, and many soldiers and generals could only eat the pickles sent by the people and drink enough water.

The people also spontaneously organized their hands to go up the mountain in the cold winter, looking for everything they could eat to give to the garrison officers and soldiers.

Those who do business even use trolleys, pushing cloth and other items that can be exchanged for food, and go out a long way to try to exchange food with others.

Zhu Xingde and the others learned about this on the way.

Because when we were about to arrive at our destination, the station was just an empty decoration and there was nothing to eat...

However, the sooner you get to the vassal state, the more you can see the people scattered on the road pushing carts.

When asked where the passers-by were going, I thought these people were going to a foreign land to hide from war and never come back, but surprisingly, the fellow villagers just planned to push the animal skins they had hunted to exchange for food.

If I could get more, I planned to send some food to the garrison officers and soldiers.

Lord Zhang once asked the fellow villagers, "Are you planning to go back? Are you not afraid of the city being broken?"

"Where are you going? The houses and fields are here. It is difficult to live outside by family. The ancestors are buried here for generations, so how can they throw the cemetery of the ancestors? Besides, some daughters and sons have long been married. If the family leaves, they will not be able to leave."

"That's why we work together to help the garrison officers and soldiers. We would rather save food from our own mouths?" These people were so thin.

"Yes, they are not good, can we have good things? All you can do is find ways to find food and hope to win. If you win earlier, you will suffer less. Sir, you don't know that the officers and soldiers are in trouble. In order to guard this city gate, they have no food, no drink or medicine. When they hear the sound of the war drum, they have to face the enemy. How can they have strength in their stomachs? Thanks to you, why are you here?"

Yes, they are still late.

Lord Zhang did not explain to the people, but the court had already sent a grain team here.

At that time, the grain was not collected in the city where Yongdian County was located. It was opened from another city and directly transported grain by ship. Unfortunately, he was ambushed when crossing the river. That was why he came to supervise the transportation of grain from the land.

The people don’t know this, but the officers and soldiers know it.

So when I saw the court keeping in charge of the second wave of food and grass, when I saw Lord Zhang and his group come over, the young faces washed by the smoke finally became more vivid from numbness.

Many people's eyes were red: "We just knew that the court would not ignore us!"

There were also people who ran around and told me: "The court has sent food and grass."

Even the wounded soldiers who were missing their arms and legs tried to come out and see for themselves.

The soldiers who were on duty on duty on the city tower were so excited that they held the arrows in their hands tightly when they heard this. They felt that the snowflakes fell on their heads were no longer cold. They could hold on for a while.

"This time we have a full meal, we must go and fuck them!" This sentence is what more people say.

The chief general's barracks.

A sixty-year-old veteran, General Tan, the general of the Eastern Expedition, held this time, and pushed the medicine bowl given by his servant with his sick body. He specially changed into military uniforms to meet Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue, and Li Zhixian, the younger brother of the previous head coach.

This time, Lord Zhang and Magistrate Li learned that they had lost two consecutive games and suffered heavy equipment losses. The city gate was attacked by the enemy four times, but they almost failed to defend it.

I also knew that the imperial envoy sent by the court specially did not come back at all.

The princess who was sent to the opposite side before did not play any role, and she did not know about life and death.

It is even very likely that even the money and grain officials appointed last time were arrested.

General Tan also lost his godson, Tan Dahong, who is like a parent-child.

Tan Dahong was captured alive when he was on the battlefield.

And, it is said that his only young grandson who loves to study is also missing.

His little grandson was returning to his hometown to take the exam before he was not heard from him.

If you guessed correctly, this is being arrested, and you should be trying to threaten him at a critical moment.

General Tan is in poor health recently. Part of the reason is that he gets angry after hearing the above news. The more he thinks, the more cowardly he becomes.

I have never blamed the Lord in my heart.

Since the emperor is old and has no peace in the dragon body, he always thinks about peace talks about anything.

It’s better to have less than more than ten years, and give everything to the outsiders. This year, not only did we go directly to war with us, but we also thought that the princesses would not be as good as servants.

General Tan left Mr. Zhang alone to discuss secretly, asking the emperor how the dragon body was and whether he was still sleepy.

Lord Zhang showed a hidden worry and nodded slightly. At least this was the case before he came out. Many things were facing a state of being headless.

The emperor did not want to abdicate, and always scolded the prince's decision after he woke up. The prince was restrained in many cases and had to be distracted from the other brothers, for fear that he would be slandered when the saint was not at peace with the dragon body.

Therefore, wars, food and supplies, national economy and people's livelihood, and even the imperial examinations were affected.

In the main account, the two high-ranking adults sighed in unison, and this attitude was self-evident.

Outside the account, Li Magistrate Grimmed his teeth when he saw Zhu Xingde, saying, "It's all dirty tricks!"

Zhu Xingde speculated that Li Zhixian had just entered the account and heard that someone's family was harmed by the thief again?

This reminded Li Zhixian of his murdered brother, sister-in-law and nephew.

Zhu Xingde didn't know how to comfort Li Zhixian. Only by himself can he know the pain. He could only turn the topic arbitrarily and tell Li Zhixian what he was busy with.

There is a kind of man named Zhu Xingde, and he always has endless things to do.

He is a practical person and thinks that long-term sighing is the most useless.

After Zhu Xingde arrived here, he began to arrange for the personnel who transported grain to be kept for nothing.

He was very capable, and he found the soldiers here and gave them a guide to introduce the situation on the battlefield and how they would arrange the battlefield once the war started.

To sum up in one sentence, these capable people become serious soldiers, and the drums of war must be sounded together with the soldiers to face the enemy.

This is one.

The second type is generally capable and has strong strength. Zhu Xingde summoned a team of slightly injured soldiers and vassal states, and asked these people to take their people to carry stones and transport them by car.

The reason why they carry stones and other things is that the equipment they bring is very limited.

After asking again, I found out that there was a long time since the arrow feathers were missing here. It was the first two defeats. The horses lost a lot, and the bows and arrows were even more lost. It was better to transport more stones and transport them to the city tower to prepare them than not.

The third type of grain transport team members are doing the work of taking over the wounded. If they don’t know how to learn from each other, then taking over cooking and water transportation.

Zhu Xingde believes it is best to prepare more water.

In order to avoid being out of date, the enemy will attack and climb the city tower and pour water on the city wall. This weather will freeze into ice in a short while.

Zhu Xingde and Li Zhixian were talking when they were suddenly interrupted by a "report".

The deputy coach and his subordinates stood in front of the main account waiting for the call.

It seems that there is something urgent.

At this time, in the main account, Lord Zhang had just finished talking to General Tan about Yang Manshan and his group's tasks and the situations on the road.

So when the deputy general led his subordinates to report to the main general that there seemed to be something strange about the enemy, General Tan looked at Lord Zhang first.

Lord Zhang shuddered and said, "Has the granary succeeded?"

Otherwise, if the army was stationed outside the city, what other strange phenomena would appear besides ordering an attack on them?

But Lord Zhang also found it a bit incredible.

To be honest, he sent people out, but he was really a silly mentality, which was called climbing mountains and wading through the primeval forest and not knowing life and death. The enemy guarding the granary would arrange many people, and the dozens of people he sent could make the granary burn one and a half would probably be killed. OK, as long as it could cause riots, remember the location of the enemy granary.

But he didn't expect...: "Manshan, Yang Manshan must be him!" Lord Zhang stood up excitedly.

I don't know what the main account is discussing.

Zhu Xingde was still thinking of walking away with Magistrate Li to avoid suspicion. Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, the deputy commander who had entered the main account before brought people out and suddenly asked him: "Zhu Xingde?"

There was affirmation in his tone.

Deputy Coach Li had long discovered a series of actions after Zhu Xingde arrived.

Just now, when he heard Lord Zhang briefly introduce the feat of "three brother-in-laws", he immediately guessed that the person outside the account had a small eyes and a tall figure, and shouted to the grain team that was full of courage and courage. Zhu Xingde should be the one who was intimidating.

When Zhu Xingde finally understood why he became a famous person at the resident all of a sudden, because everyone was guessing that the granary seemed to have been burned successfully, and his brother-in-law did it. The enemy must have received the letter.

At the same time, Yang Manshan was ready to take action.

In the woods at night, a group of people quietly approached the stone house of Guan's prisoners.

The godson of General Tan, who was detained and captured Tan Dahong, suddenly opened his blood-stained eyes.

He used the dagger that Yang Manshan gave him yesterday to cut off the rope that tied his hands and feet.

Then, Tan Dahong endured the pain all over his body, took a breath and moved little by little to the imperial envoy who was discussing peace: "Master Tang, wake up."

The princess who was tied up at the other end of the corner of the wall no longer had a numb expression on her face, and there was a strange light in her eyes.
