At this time Zheng Qiu came over and asked Su Tong, "How is it? Have you loaded it into the carriage?"
"Hey, there looks like a car." Su Tong pointed to the side.
Zheng Qiu looked over at this time and saw several bags of potatoes piled on the ground. Zhao Po and several others started to move them to the carriage.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiu walked forward and said, "Brother Zhao."
"Well, you're here, just pack these few bags left." Hearing Zheng Qiu calling him, Zhao Po raised his head and said to him.
Zheng Qiu nodded, and then said, "After installing it, we will set off immediately."
"Leave immediately? Go to Suizhou?" Zhao Po frowned slightly after hearing this, and then asked Zheng Qiu.
Before Zheng Qiu could speak, Su Tong, who was standing aside, strode up to Zheng Qiu and then looked at Zheng Qiu with a fierce reaction, "Brother Zheng, did I hear you right? Do you mean to let us set off immediately? "
"You heard that right." Zheng Qiu looked at Su Tong and said to him with a smile.
At this time, Su Tong couldn't help but ask, "Is this what your Excellency means?"
"Not bad." Zheng Qiu nodded to him again.
After Su Tong confirmed, he couldn't help but frown, and then said loudly, "What happened to you in the study just now? Could it be that you said something that offended the lord? Otherwise, why did the lord prevent us from even taking a break?" Rush to Suizhou anxiously."
"Brother Su, you are worrying too much. Nothing happened in the study just now. I did not offend you or say anything wrong. Also, we are not leaving for Suizhou now." Zheng Qiu looked at Su Tong and said.
After Su Tong heard this, he was surprised and asked, "If you're not going to Suizhou? Where are you going?"
"We'll find out when we get there." Zheng Qiu continued to play riddles with Su Tong.
With that said, he went to greet the people and drove the carriage towards the gate of the government office.
At this time, Li Mingye came over and said, "Are you ready?"
"Well, let's go to the government office to bid farewell to the Lord. Does the Lord want you to follow?" Zheng Qiu nodded, then looked at Li Ming and asked him.
Li Ming nodded to him, then greeted Zheng Qiu together, and followed the carriage to the entrance of the government office.
Zhao Po and Su Tong glanced at each other at this time and quickly followed.
At the entrance of the government office, the crowd had already left.
When Xu Qing saw Zheng Qiu and others approaching, he walked forward and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes, sir, everything is ready." Zheng Qiu said with cupped hands.
Xu Qing nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Okay, after lunch, you will quickly set off to the frontier fortress. However, you must be extremely careful on the way there."
"Yes, sir." Several people responded with their hands clasped.
Xu Qing then walked towards the mansion.
At this time, Su Tong quickly walked up to Zheng Qiu and asked in a low voice, "Are these potatoes going to the frontier?"
"Not bad." Zheng Qiu nodded to Su Tong.
Su Tong couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this, "Is it possible that these potatoes have to be sent to the frontier to be sold? You know, there are many people coming to Suizhou to buy potatoes, and the distance to Suizhou is longer than The frontier fortress is much closer, so why would it be a waste of time to go to the frontier fortress every year?"
"Didn't you hear what Brother Zheng said was a gift?" Before Zheng Qiu could speak, Zhao Po walked up to Su Tong and said to him.
Su Tong suddenly realized when he heard that Zhao Po was so unified, and then said, "Are these potatoes given to the frontier soldiers?"
"Well, it's getting late. Let's go have lunch quickly. Don't delay." Zhao Po pulled Su Tong over at this time, and then said to everyone with a smile.
Zheng Qiu then nodded, "Then come in quickly."
With that said, he walked towards the mansion.
Then several people followed Zheng Qiu and walked towards the mansion.
At this time, Su Tong looked at Zhao Po and asked, "Why didn't you let me ask Chu Chu just now?"
"Brother Zheng has made it so clear. You still don't know. Come in quickly." With that, he also strode towards the mansion.
Su Tong was left in a fog, and then he scratched his head and suddenly realized, "Didn't the soldiers at the frontier..."
After saying this, Su Tong stopped, looked around, and then quickly walked into the mansion.
At this time, the frontier fortress.
The news that the military camp was short of food exploded in an instant.
At first, everyone did not believe it, but the white rice served at noon every day was actually replaced by porridge with wild vegetables.
This makes everyone have to doubt.
Then they all went to the kitchen to find out.
After Lao Ji in the kitchen prepared meals for the soldiers, he sat on a stool and then sighed and said to Lao Guan, "I heard from General Li that some people have gone to look for food, but now half a grain of rice is gone." No, what should we do for dinner?"
"I am also worried about this matter. General Li told us to keep the news about the lack of food, but now the food is not as good as one meal. I heard some people talking in private when I was eating just now. I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it for long." Lao Guan continued. A sad look on his face.
General Lee said that the news of the lack of military rations must be suppressed no matter what.
At this moment, I heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen door.
I only heard someone say, "We'll know if we have any food, just ask Uncle Guan."
"Yes, ask Uncle Guan."
Then someone shouted, "Uncle Lao Guan, are you there? Everyone has something to ask you."
After hearing this, Lao Guan couldn't help but frown, and then quickly said to Lao Ji, "Quick, go tell General Li, I'm afraid they have realized that there is no food and grass."
"Well, you hold on for now, and I'll go over here." Lao Ji nodded, and then hurriedly walked out from behind and ran towards General Li's military camp.
At this time, General Li was at General Cheng's place.
Since the last time the carrion was cut off from its body, new flesh buds have sprouted. Overall, the recovery is quite good.
"How do you feel now?" General Li walked to General Cheng's bed and looked at him and asked.
General Cheng nodded at this time, "I have almost recovered. I will be fully recovered in two days. The last time I fought with that weirdo, I was unprepared and almost killed me."
"You also said that those few days in coma were frightening. Fortunately, there was no danger, and we will fight the enemy side by side." General Li continued.
General Cheng nodded at this time, and then asked, "What is the situation now? Is there any sign that Xiling will send troops again?"
"At present, there is no such thing, but now we encounter a problem more deadly than sending troops to Xiling." General Li sighed at this time, and then said to him.
General Cheng frowned slightly after hearing this, and then asked, "No more food and grass?"
"Exactly, there is not much food and grass now, and it is difficult to hold on." General Li looked serious at this time.
General Cheng quickly asked, "Have you asked the Imperial City for help?"
"No reply." General Li said, shaking his head.
Zhao Po and Su Tong glanced at each other at this time and quickly followed.
Si, let us surrender without a fight? "
"The emperor sent Shuohou to help." General Li said again at this time.
Then General Cheng asked again, "Will we send food and grass?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard anything." General Li sighed at this time.
I saw General Cheng's face became calm and angry at this time, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Do you want us soldiers to fend for ourselves? He doesn't know how important the frontier fortress is. If the frontier fortress is lost, the Xiling army can go all the way." Go eastward until you reach the imperial city."
"Now that things have not come to this point, Shuohou's men are going to the frontier fortress to look for food. I hope they can find it." General Li sighed at this time.
Now they can only take a gamble.
Lao Ji ran to General Li's tent and was told that he had gone to General Cheng's place. Lao Ji quickly turned around and ran towards General Cheng's tent.
The two people who were not talking in the tent suddenly heard the sound of rapid running outside the tent and stopped at the door.
"Who?" General Li asked at this time.
After hearing General Li's question, Lao Ji hurriedly walked into the tent, then clasped his hands and said, "General Li, go and have a look. Many soldiers were gathered outside the kitchen door asking if they had any rations. I'm afraid Lao Guan would delay It won’t be long.”
"What? I'll go right away." After hearing this, General Li stood up and strode outside.
Lao Ji quickly followed him towards the kitchen.
General Cheng, who was sitting on the bed, couldn't help but look worried. If the soldiers were left without rations, their morale would be greatly reduced. If Xiling sent troops at this time, our army would be vulnerable.
Thinking of this, General Cheng couldn't help but frown.
And here in the kitchen.
After Lao Ji ran out, Lao Guan came out. Looking at the many soldiers surrounding the door, he pretended to be calm and asked, "What's going on? It's already past lunch time."
"Uncle Guan, we all just want to ask if there is no rations in the military camp?" At this time, the person in front asked first.
After hearing this, Lao Guan couldn't help but feel nervous. For a moment, he pretended to be calm and looked at the person who spoke, "Who said we have no food and grass? Where did you hear this?"
"Then why have you been eating gruel these past few days?" someone else questioned.
Lao Guan smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and continued speaking. "It turns out that this is the case. Many of our people were injured during the Xiling Army's previous raid. The military doctor said that drinking some gruel and eating light food is beneficial to the recovery of the wounds."
"If this is the case, why did everyone eat bitter and astringent wild vegetables for lunch today? Is this also good for the body?" As soon as Lao Guan finished speaking, someone else spoke.
I saw Lao Guan frowning slightly at this time, "That's right, winter is approaching, and everyone knows that when winter comes, these vegetables will be frozen to death. I saw there are many outside the military camp, and it looks like a pity, so I picked them back and let them Everyone eats.”
"Uncle Guan, if this is really the case, can you send a few people to take a look? This can also dispel everyone's doubts." At this time, someone else made a suggestion.
Lao Guan frowned after hearing this, "You don't believe what I said?"
"Uncle Guan, it's not that we don't believe you. You can let everyone take a look. This can also dispel everyone's doubts and don't have to worry." At this time, someone stood up and continued.
