Xie Hui was taken aback, and You Miao said again, "If I had heard about the reforms of Lord Shen Zhi earlier, why would there be such a mess today?"
Xie Hui sighed and had to nod his head, saying, "You ask the Political Office to issue the documents, and I will count the disaster food in the afternoon."
You Miao snorted and said, "I will distribute the food that came up in the early stage, and the food that is collected in the later stage will be reserved for the relief of the common people."
Xie Hui thought for a while, then smiled again: "Master You is very capable."
You Miao smiled and said nothing, presumably Xie Hui vaguely guessed his arrangement, Xie Hui looked at You Miao for a long time, and said, "This year, in the twelfth lunar month of this year, according to the Yangzhou custom, I will enjoy plums and snow in Xie's homeland, I don't know Mr. You. With General Li, do you have time to admire your face?"
You Miao knew when she thought about it that most of the time it was Xie Hui who was going to marry his niece. This kind of gentry worshiped and formed friendships with each other. The Taiping era was very popular in Jiangnan. Since he was inviting himself and Li Zhifeng, it would seem inappropriate not to go. Then he nodded and said: "When you return smoothly, you will definitely go to disturb."
Xie Hui nodded happily, and the two separated outside the Meridian Gate.
You Miao first went back to the political affairs hall. Sun Yu was still taking a nap, so he also went to sleep for a while. However, when he slept, he did not know the time. When he opened his eyes, it was already dusk. Someone at the barracks came to report that Li Zhifeng had already led the army out of the city. Xie Quan wrote the note and asked You Miao's rations to follow quickly.
You Miao personally took the note to the Ministry of Household and approved the disaster food, and Li Yan of the Hanlin Academy came over again in person. The two stood outside the military department, ordering food for the army.
Li Yan said: "There is so much food, if you take it out for relief, there is not so much to do."
You Miao glanced at Li Yan and said, "I have to take it for relief now."
Li Yan said sternly: "You have scattered the rations, what do your concubines eat?"
You Miao said with a smile: "Don't fight, go with rations and documents, and come back after declaring the decree and distributing the food."
Li Yan said in shock: "You boy, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, what will you do if others don't accept you?"
You Miao smiled without saying a word. Looking at Li Yan, Li Yan sighed and shook her head.
"I beg you for one thing." Li Yan handed You Miao the charter of the new law, and You Miao took a look and said, "What do you want me to say before your Majesty?"
"The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month." Li Yan said, "The imperial court plans to send someone to General Nie's camp to discuss peace with the remaining four hustlers."
You Miao snorted, and Li Yan said, "I want to go there to see if I can convince the Hu people to turn around and redeem your sister-in-law, and secondly, the situation in the north is turbulent, and the Hu people and the Tatars themselves Fighting, I hope there will be an opportunity to recover the Central Plains."
You Miao said: "Originally this is your job too, are you afraid that I won't be able to rob it?"
Li Yan said helplessly: "It's not that I'm afraid that I'll give you this errand. What kind of thing does your majesty have to do with you, why would you let you go to the barracks to negotiate peace? It's just that here in Yangzhou, there are many people staring at you. This errand. They don't know how to deal with Wuhu and Tatars. After all, they are not like us, who escaped from slave camps. The sons and brothers of the Tang family and the Lin family are only afraid of bad things."
You Miao nodded and said: "Okay, when I return from the expedition, I will talk to the third... Your Highness."
Li Yan said in You Miao's ear, "You must not underestimate him. This is my brother's sincerity, and I have already told you. It is hard to predict what will happen next. You should stand firm."
You Miao snorted, knowing that when Li Yan said this, he was alluding to the intricate relationship between the prince and the new emperor. It was for his sake that he had to be careful.
That night everyone lit the torches, the general grain was counted and loaded into the truck, and there was another seven thousand shi of disaster food from the household. Youmiao asked Jiangbo Villa to open the warehouse, put three thousand shi of grain out, and loaded it with the truck, a total of 20,000 shi, 2.4 million catties of grain. The first team could not be transported, so Pingxi could only order troops and escort them one after another.
Li Zhifeng's team had arrived at the front line. When You Miao came to the bank of the Qinghe River on the third day, he saw scattered camps on the other side. In winter, the stream was very shallow, only knee-deep. They are all building fires on the river beach to keep warm, and there are wooden sheds behind them, and they go straight to the main road.
From the day You Miao learned that the new army was camped on the north bank and would not rush south, she understood that Tu Risheng's army did not dare to enter Maoxian. Although he is the leader of the peasant rebels, he also knows the importance. After all, it has been two hundred years since Tianqi founded the country, and it has not yet reached the point of anger and resentment. What's more, now that I am an individual who understands the truth that foreign enemies are on the side, and overthrow the imperial court, I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty will be completely destroyed.
Today's plan is really not suitable for rebellion, and Tu Risheng's situation is also very embarrassing. You can't go in, you can't go back. Even if you pull Zhao Chao down, what can you do? Regardless of whether the new army has such fighting power, even if Tu Risheng is allowed to occupy Maocheng, Nie Dan will definitely lead the army south and pacify the new army. And the northern Wuhu, the Tartars will also take the opportunity to enter and capture Jiangnan.
In this way, Tu Risheng will bear the infamy of thousands of generations.
Sometimes people complained that when it came time to make a decision, no one dared to overthrow the emperor. Instead, a court was needed.
You Miao was right on this point, knowing that if Tu Risheng was to go down a step and give everyone a bite to eat, the chaotic army would go.
When he arrived at the barracks, Xie Quan was negotiating with the new army on the north bank, while Li Zhifeng was looking at the map. You Miao was overjoyed, and sure enough, Xie Quan was right, there was a reason why Ping Xi and others favored him. He dared to go to the rebel camp to negotiate alone. Looking at the dynasty, only three people have the courage. One is Li Yan, the other is Xie Quan, and the other is You Miao herself.
As the sun went down, Li Zhifeng and You Miao were holding a bowl of rice, looking at the other side of the river, and eating.
Li Zhifeng said: "I have discussed with Xie Quan. If he doesn't come back tonight, I will lead the army to attack at night."
You Miao sneered: "It doesn't matter if you bully the Tartars. Look at the people on the other side, all of them are holding hoes and sickles, and there is not even a horse-rejection stake in the camp. Can you kill them?"
Li Zhifeng was silent and shook his head helplessly.
Indeed, You Miao observed the layout of Tu Risheng's camp and handed it over to himself and Li Zhifeng. He didn't even need to attack at night. Three rounds of drumming in broad daylight could kill the opponent and turn him over. Although it claims to have 100,000 people, but seeing the officers and soldiers, they are all rabble, and they are all half-starved victims, how can they have the strength to fight
"Wait until Xie Quan comes back." You Miao said, "No, I'll go there in person. I'm ready for the imperial edict."
Li Zhifeng said: "You can't underestimate the enemy, there are still good players in the opponent's formation, otherwise Tang Huaili would not be defeated in Tushan."
You Miao's heart moved and asked, "What kind of player?"
