The emperor was already preparing to leave the camp. Hearing the news of Nusa's death, he sighed slightly and waved, "Let's give the Mo family an honorable burial."
After finishing speaking, let Gu Zhong pick some porcelain and jade wares and send them to the Mo family.
Gold and silver wares can be realized directly, even if they are not as valuable as porcelain and jade wares, the emperor does not want to give them away.
Man Bao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
The emperor waved his hand, and when she turned around, he stopped her again, "It's difficult to march in snowy weather, may your medical staff insist?"
Man Bao said: "Since we have entered the army, we are members of the army. Your Majesty does not need to treat us differently."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I will be at ease after Youqing waits for these words, even if Xueluo, I can continue to march east."
Yin Li came striding forward, and after the report was over, he opened the curtain and came in. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the fifth batch of grain and grass has arrived."
The emperor's eyes brightened slightly, and after counting the time, he said: "This time, they are acquainted, but have they all been checked?"
Yin Li said: "I have checked everything, and there is no major problem." Minor problems cannot be avoided.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, now that even the grain and grass were sufficient, it would be a pity not to win Goguryeo because of the right time, place and people.
He laughed heartily and said, "Okay, let's go down and break camp tomorrow morning."
"yes."
With Gao Zhi as the vanguard, the Jin army drove straight down, and soon gathered in the inner city.
Because Gao Zhi, Zhao Guogong, and Ashina cleared the obstacles along the road, the main tent only needed to go all the way eastward, and even the snow did not slow down their speed much, and the group quickly caught up.
When Gao Zhi arrived at the last small city in front of the domestic city, the main tent was not far away from them, only about eighty miles away, and they could reach it in a day.
And this city has become Feng Shangshu's stronghold, because he didn't know about Gao Zhi's surrender, he thought it was Goguryeo's reinforcements and was planning to defend the city gate, but when he squatted on the city wall and looked at the flag, it looked more and more like them. The flag of Jin, he seems to have read the big Jin character correctly, right
And Gao Zhi didn't know that the city was occupied by the Jin army, and was planning to send someone to persuade the city owner, but when the hatchback came together, he also felt that the flag on the opposite wall didn't think much of them, Goguryeo, ah bah, it belonged to Jin .
The two sides stared at each other, but Feng Shangshu didn't believe them, and kept them outside the city until the leaders of Zhao Guogong and Ashina arrived, and then he let them in.
As Gao Zhi walked in, he thought, if Ashina knocked the city gate back then, as long as their gate officials had followed such rules, Anshi City would not have been broken.
When the emperor arrived in this small town and saw Feng Shangshu, he was almost unrecognizable.
Not only has he lost a lot of weight, his beard is messed up, even his clothes are almost smelly.
As soon as he saw the emperor, Feng Shangshu excitedly stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, I finally see you."
He originally planned to stay on guard for a few days after the snow fell, and withdraw from the sea if there was no news of the army.
He went deep alone, with his eyes open when he slept.
When I saw the emperor now, I was relieved when I was excited, and then I wanted to cry.
The emperor was mostly distressed, he looked carefully at Feng Shangshu and the generals behind him, he felt very distressed, so he took their hands and said: "Thanks for your hard work, dear friends."
Their monarchs and ministers are tearful here, not far away, Imperial Physician Zheng is also holding Imperial Physician Lu crying, in fact, he wants to hold Zhou Man's, after all, she is the chief officer, but men and women are different.
So he could only cry with Doctor Lu in front of Zhou Man, it was really hard for him this trip.
Seeing that he was thin and out of shape, and that the students behind him had also changed greatly, Man Bao felt distressed for a moment, and quickly asked, "Why are you like this? Could it be that Feng Shangshu withheld your military rations?"
"Then there must be a military ration deduction." Dr. Zheng wiped his tears and said, "Our place is not like yours. We traveled by sea and went deep alone. Except for the supply of food and grass at the beginning, there will be no more food and grass in the future." Can't get in."
Man Bao nodded to express his understanding. After all, they brought few people, and it was difficult to guard the route along the way. The food and grass brought in was basically used by the enemy, so it was better not to send it.
"So we can only raise the army rations by ourselves." Zheng Taiyi cried: "It was not bad at the beginning. Feng Shangshu attacked the city fiercely, and he conquered many cities along the way. Every time he conquered a city, he collected the food from the warehouses in the city, and then went to some. If the rich and noble people walk around and sit in their homes, they will have military rations."
"But twenty-five days ago, Goguryeo started to get ruthless. Every time we captured a city, they would rather burn all the houses in the city and not give them food before retreating."
The next few cities were severely damaged, but except for the part of the city gate that was hit by them, the rest was fought by Goguryeo's soldiers and horses, with extremely ruthless methods.
Before Feng Shangshu, in order not to let the Goguryeo people cut off his back, he had always been friendly to ordinary people, and he had always restrained the army from disturbing the people.
They can also gather food and grass without disturbing the people, so the relationship is not bad.
But after the Goguryeo people do this, it will be very difficult for them to maintain a good relationship with ordinary Goguryeo people.
Between the Goguryeo people and his own soldiers, Feng Liang chose his own soldiers without blinking an eye, so he directly asked people to collect food and grass, and if they couldn't collect it, they robbed them.
But the inner city is strong, and most of Goguryeo's remaining soldiers and horses are in the inner city. Of course, Feng Liang alone cannot beat them.
So he could only go back and snatch this small town as his stronghold.
But it was also very difficult. The city was so big. When the officials withdrew before, they took away what they could take away, and burned what they couldn't take away. There were not even a few Goguryeo people left in the city.
They can only collect food and grass, and occasionally go to nearby villages and towns to grab a wave, while besieging the domestic city.
Because of the shortage of food, everyone eats two meals a day, and each meal is still thin, but the amount of exercise is heavy. If you come and go again and again, don't you lose weight
Both Man Bao and Imperial Physician Lu looked at him sympathetically, especially Imperial Physician Lu, Zhou Man still needed to go to the battlefield, and he was by the emperor's side most of the time, he was the most relaxed of the three.
Doctor Zheng is the most miserable.
Man Bao comforted Imperial Physician Zheng, and promised, "I'll treat you to steamed buns tonight."
Imperial Physician Zheng cried a bit, raised his head and asked, "Is it true?"
Man Bao nodded.
Seeing that the students behind Imperial Physician Zheng were also swallowing their saliva, he said, "Come together."
They nodded immediately, nearly snapping their heads off.
The arrival of the army gave Feng Shangshu enough food and grass along the way. As soon as the two armies converged, they began to bury pots and cook food. The smell of food wafted everywhere inside and outside the small town, and even the people who had been staying at home could not help but leave their homes. Looked around.
Feng Shangshu saw it and said: "Your Majesty, these people left behind are poor people who can't escape. I collected some food and grass from them before, and now it's snowing. If there is no food relief, they may not survive this spring." .”
