"I know, I know." You Miao said helplessly.
Zhao Chao has to face such a bunch of problems every day in court. Civil and military officials are noisy, all talking about food and grass. It has been delayed since March of last year until now, not only the Tartars, but also the court. exhausted.
Every time the matter was discussed in the early morning, it was unresolved. Zhao Chao tried to urge Nie Dan to fight quickly, but he was stopped by You Miao in the end.
This night, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is late autumn again. You Miao tossed and turned, pulled a piece of paper, and wrote four words: When will the war begin? Think about rubbing it again and throwing it into the water.
"Master." Chang Yuan whispered outside.
You Miao immediately raised her head, knowing that Chang Yuan would call him at this time, it must be news from the front line, or a major event, and hurriedly said: "What news from the front line?"
Chang Yuan pushed open the door and came in, and brought an officer of the Ministry of War, who then let a soldier behind him and said, "Master You, Ping Shangshu asked the next officer to bring him here. He is a soldier of the Northern Army."
The man You Miao didn't recognize. He was expected to be the captain of the Yangzhou Army. The messenger came in and said, "Mr. You, General Huwei sent me back to ask, why is there not enough rations? The front line can't stand it anymore."
You Miao could only say: "You go back and tell Li Zhifeng, I can't do anything about it. After urging a few times, the Ministry of Household is also trying to adjust the food, and it has been sent in the past few days."
The messenger added: "There are also clothes to keep out the cold. The brothers have no clothes to wear. They can't stand the severe cold, and they can't fight. Many people's hands and feet are frozen."
You Miao said: "The Ministry of Household has already made preparations. If you wait a few more days, there are still 14,000 pieces of jackets that have not been sewn. Once they are sewn, they will be delivered."
The messenger added: "General Huwei still has 2,000 Xiongnu troops under his command. I'm easy to talk about, but I'm afraid that the Huns won't be able to wait, so I just went to the Ministry of War. Master Ping said that we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to mention this matter, before Huwei comes out. The general instructed the young man that if the Ministry of War cannot resolve this matter, they can only come to the Political Office to find you."
You Miao knew that Li Zhifeng was going to send a messenger to urge food and clothing, and he must have reached the point of urgency. After thinking for a while, he said to Chang Yuan: "Chang Yuan, take this brother to the villa and let Uncle Qiao stay. We have enough food for our own winter, and the rest will be sent to the front line. I will write another note, you can take it back to the Ministry of War, and let Pingxi have any clothes on hand, and send them all first. Your Majesty asks, I will take full responsibility. "
The court couldn't count on it, so he had to pay for it himself first. You Miao complained a lot, and only hoped that Nie Dan could win the battle.
That night, Youmiao fell asleep in a state of anxiety, until the fourth watch, when the messenger turned back and said through the window, "Master You, are you asleep?"
You Miao got up in a daze. The messenger, dressed in dust and tired, knelt down on one knee and said, "Brothers, thank you for saving your life..."
You Miao hurriedly helped him up and said, "It should be, but you don't have to."
The messenger took out a letter from his bosom and presented it to You Miao respectfully, saying, "This is the letter from General Li Zhifeng's family. I was in a hurry to ask for food, but I forgot it. Your Excellency forgive me."
You Miao took it and let the messenger rest for a night, but the messenger didn't even have time to take a sip of tea. Without touching the ground, he left in a hurry. You Miao stood in the room, feeling mixed for a while, when suddenly someone from the courtyard came to tell that Sun Yu was awake and called him over.
You Miao knew that Sun Yu had not slept well these days. Although Sun Yu didn't say it on the surface, but he was overwhelmed by things in his heart. All the officials in the court were anxious, and he was more anxious than everyone in the court. Right now, the only one who is not in a hurry is You Miao. You Miao's confidence in Nie Dan and Li Zhifeng was close to blind, but Sun Yu's vision was farther and wider than his.
You Miao put on a robe and entered Sun Yu's room. Sun Yu lay on the couch and asked, "Is there a military report?"
You Miao knew that there was such a big commotion, and Sun Yu must have woken up. The messenger came and returned twice before Sun Yu called him. I'm afraid things will change.
"The front line is urging food." You Miao said, "Bring a letter from Li Zhifeng's family."
Sun Yu snorted, snorted again, coughed a few times, You Miao was about to step forward to help, but Sun Yu waved his hand to signal no need, and then ordered: "My eyes are dim, I can't read the words, you read it to Mr. listen."
You Miao turned on the light in the room, opened the letter, and muttered, "Ziqian."
"Brother Nie is trying to set up a trap. At this moment, it is at a critical time. The brothers can save some food, but the Huns' food and grass cannot be cut off."
"He Motieer is very shrewd. After several battles, he was reluctant to withdraw all his troops into the mountains. This made it difficult for us to carry out the raid plan. On the fifth day of last month, Tang Hui caught a Tartar spy. After interrogation, he learned that the Tartar Khan is dying. He Motieer is eager to get out, and we unanimously decided that even if we don't attack, we will drag He Motieer and not let him go back."
"Prince Gegen faces the battle for the throne after Hu Richa's death. The battle for the throne is bound to be a melee. The more anxious He Motieer is, the easier it is to reveal his flaws. Brother Nie is waiting for his flaws. The Huns have sent envoys to Go to Da'an City and try to get the throne for Queen Baoyin. And if He Motieer is in disarray, Tang Hui and I will bypass Qishan and carry out an assault, and when Brother Nie is dry, we will set fire to the mountain."
"My brother has learned from the Tatars that I work in Apocalypse, and the Quanrong Department may go south to compete with Wuhu to compete for the Central Plains. If Quanrong enters the customs, it may... change."
You Miao looked at Sun Yu worriedly, thinking that this is really not good news. Sun Yu's expression was calm, and he ordered, "Continue reading."
You Miao: "If everything is irreversible... I can only... I can only..."
Sun Yu: "Only what?"
You Miao didn't read any further, Sun Yu said, "Where did you go when the messenger came?"
You Miao shook her head blankly, and Sun Yu said again: "Tell Li Zhifeng that the military situation and offensive plan on the front line should not be written in the letter to prevent the content from being leaked."
"Yes." You Miao nodded.
Sun Yu ordered: "Go and rest first."
You Miao sighed, Li Zhifeng's report did not bring any good news, the most important thing is the matter of the Quan Rong people, the Wuhu and the Tatar are not enough, and the addition of the Quan Rong Ministry, it is a mess. .
When Ye Youmiao tossed and slept, and when it was dawn, the servant came to wake him up, saying that Sun Yu had asked him to go to court. He didn't say anything else, but just sawing for a long time with grain and grass, You Miao uncovered his warehouse, and handed over the surplus grain to the Ministry of War to make up for the front line. But Nie Dan's army rations have not been resolved, and the rations are far from enough.
After the usual quarrel in the morning, You Miao followed Zhao Chao back to the imperial study, and told the Quanrong people that they were about to go south, but Zhao Chao replied calmly, "I see."
That sentence immediately alerted You Miao, you know
