After things made progress, local officials were also unambiguous.
They did not wait until enough food was collected before transporting it, but instead sent it directly to the front line in truckloads.
Originally, the soldiers were beginning to panic as they saw that they would run out of food in a day or two. But now, with truckloads of rations arriving continuously, their morale was greatly reassured.
Just at this time, Ye Zhe led his troops out of the city to fight against a veteran general of the Liao army. He won with one move and killed the opponent, which boosted the morale.
It was also because of this battle that the Liao army finally took the young General Xiaoye seriously.
But in this battle, Ye Zhe was also injured, and quite seriously.
His right shoulder, left lower back and left thigh were all cut by the Liao people's scimitars.
Especially the one on the right shoulder, it was so deep that the bone was visible.
Ye Zhe is good at holding weapons with his right hand. As a result, his fighting ability is greatly weakened. I am afraid that he will not be able to go into battle personally without resting for some time.
Fortunately, Huo Pingbei is also a powerful man, and his martial arts and strategy are not inferior to Ye Zhe.
Can withstand it.
At this moment, as one of the think tank members from Kyoto, Yao Xu felt heavy and irritable.
For no other reason, a lot of military rations raised from nearby areas have been delivered, but my brother Yao Xin's regular army has not arrived yet.
Although his sister Yao Xiang hinted at doing something about it, it was obvious that Yao Xin had done something wrong.
The ten-day delay in delivering military rations is understandable, as this is external interference.
But when the whole country is working hard to provide military food, why is there no news about his team working hard to speed up the delivery of food
If this continues, I will inevitably be accused of failing to perform my duties properly and be severely criticized by the Emperor.
But no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do. He could only secretly find a way to send someone to send a letter to his brother to urge him.
But he is the only one who is anxious, his good brother is enjoying himself now.
Yao Xin, the second son, did not need to inherit the title, and his family did not train him very strictly. Although he was smart, he was definitely not as smart as Yao Xu.
He had received a hint to delay the delivery of food when he came, and he had done a good job, but now he doesn't know how to adapt to the situation.
He was also thinking that the food had been delivered to other places, so there was no need for him to rush now. If it was delayed for a few more days, wouldn't it make it more difficult to deliver the food? Wouldn't he have made great contributions due to his hard work
If you then make yourself look embarrassed and pretend to be tired, that won't be much admiration.
Yao Xu and Yao Xiang didn't know that he had such thoughts, otherwise they would have been very angry.
Fortunately, the letter was delivered in time, and the military rations that were originally scheduled to arrive in 25 days arrived in 20 days.
No major disaster occurred.
Then look back to the palace.
The issue of military rations was finally resolved. Ye Zhe broke the deadlock and won another battle. At the same time, there was some progress at the other two generals' positions. Ning Chen's tension was finally relieved a little.
It has been more than ten days since I last saw Ye Jun.
Ning Chen walked out of the Jiuchen Palace and looked at the dazzling sunlight outside, only to realize that it was already August.
"It's only five or six days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. I didn't even notice that the weather is already so hot."
"Since the war broke out, the emperor has rarely left Jiuchen Palace. The room is filled with ice, which makes it cooler than outside, so the emperor didn't notice it." Yuan Jiu said.
Ning Chen's eyes felt a little uncomfortable because of the sun.
He lowered his eyes slightly and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.
"This battle has been going on for almost four months."
During these four months, Qingqiang Pass retreated thirty miles, Huyu Pass retreated ten miles, and Beiling Pass is the only one that still holds out.
There was a battle between us and the Liao army, with neither side winning or losing.
But overall, the situation has stabilized.
"Please go to Zhaochunxuan. I want to go see Ming Xiuyi." Ning Chen walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back.
During all this time, Ye Jun's appearance that day has always been lingering in his mind.
The matter has been resolved, and he has been thinking about it for these days.
Finally, I can't blame this woman.
In fact, the first moment his tense nerves relaxed a little, the person he wanted to see most was Ye Jun.
Ning Chen today is no longer the hesitant and cautious person he was when he first ascended the throne at the age of 20.
He is now proficient in controlling the court, so when conditions permit, he prefers to follow his heart.
It was just that she entered the harem again after a long absence, and the first place she went to was Zhaochunxuan, which inevitably caused jealousy in the harem.
But the two people involved didn't care at all.
Upon hearing that Ning Chen was coming, Ye Jun stood up and went out to greet him.
Thinking about her brother at this time, she had no intention of dressing up, so she wore a light blue dress with white edges.
Apart from a few small flowers embroidered on the cuffs and collar, there was no other decoration.
Her hair was tied into an ordinary bun, fixed with three silver hairpins, and she didn't even wear earrings.
As soon as Ning Chen entered the yard, he saw that she was very plain.
He didn't look as lazy and relaxed as before, and now looked anxious and uneasy.
When I got closer, I realized that the little bit of fat Ye Jun had gained during the confinement period had all disappeared, and she was no longer as soft and plump as before.
"I told you not to let your imagination run wild, so why are you still losing weight?"
Without waiting for Ye Jun to salute, Ning Chen spoke first.
Ye Jun raised his head, his eyes seemed to contain a pool of water, and smiled faintly.
"Since Your Majesty has told me not to let my imagination run wild, I will naturally obey. It's just that it's hot in the summer and my appetite is poor. Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight during this period."
As he spoke, Ye Jun stood on tiptoe to take a closer look, and said with a smirk, "But he is still handsome, but a little thinner, and his jaw looks better."
This is what is meant by sharp edges.
But the more Ye Jun downplayed it, as if nothing had happened, the more unhappy Ning Chen felt.
He let her pull him into the room, then gave Yuan Jiu a look and told him to close the door.
Hearing a creaking sound, Ye Jun turned around and saw that they were the only two left in the room.
"Why doesn't the emperor ask someone to come in and serve..."
"Ye."
Ning Chen interrupted her with a calm look in his eyes, which were filled with complicated emotions.
I didn't know what I wanted to express. My mind was in a mess as I stared at the person in front of me, and I had no idea what I wanted to say.
"Why did the emperor suddenly call you concubine like this? It doesn't sound nice at all." Ye Jun lowered her head.
But there seemed to be a tone of crying in the voice, and the shoulders were shaking slightly.
Ning Chen didn't know how to express his confused emotions.
He took a deep breath and suddenly hugged the person in his arms, as if this could give his suffocated heart a breath of fresh air.
"It's my fault. I scared you. I shouldn't have called you that."
Ning Chen spoke haltingly, like a child at a loss.
At this time, Ye Jun, who was held tightly by him, had his shoulders twitching more and more violently, and his whole body was shaking slightly.
Realizing that something was wrong, Ning Chen quickly let go of the person and held Ye Jun's face with both hands.
Only then did I realize that her fair face was covered with tear marks, her eye sockets and nose tip were as red as if she had applied a layer of rouge, and her tightly bitten lower lip looked so tender and juicy due to the congestion that it seemed as if it was about to break.
"My goodness, what's going on?"
Ning Chen's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously hugged her again.
