To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 200 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

"I know everything, I know everything." You Miao said helplessly.

Zhao Chao has to face such a bunch of problems every day when he goes to court. The civil and military officials are noisy, all talking about food and grass. It has been delayed since March last year. Not only the Tatars, but even the court have been dragged into trouble. Weary soldiers.

Every time this matter was discussed in the early court, it was still pending. Zhao Chao tried to urge Nie Dan to fight quickly several times, but was stopped by You Miao in the end.

The moon was in the middle of the night, and it was late autumn again. You Miao tossed and turned, pulled a piece of paper, and wrote four words: When will the war start?After thinking about it, he rubbed it again and threw it into the water.

"Master." Chang Yuan whispered outside.

You Miao immediately raised her head, knowing that Changyuan would call her at this time, it must be news from the front line, or something important, and hurriedly said: "What news is there from the front line?"

Changyuan opened the door and came in, bringing an official from the Ministry of War, and the official let out a soldier behind him, saying: "Your Excellency, Ping Shangshu asked the subordinate officials to bring him here, he is a soldier of the Northern Army."

You Miao didn't recognize that person, he guessed it was the captain of the Yangzhou Army, the messenger came in and said, "Your Excellency, General Hu Wei sent me back to ask, why is the army ration still not available? The front line is almost overwhelmed."

You Miao had no choice but to say: "Go back and tell Li Zhifeng that I can't do anything about it. After several reminders, the Ministry of Households is also trying its best to adjust the grain, and it will be sent out in a few days."

The messenger also said: "There are still clothes to keep out the cold. The brothers have no clothes to wear. They can't withstand the severe cold and can't fight. Many people's hands and feet are cracked from the cold."

You Miao said: "The household department has already made preparations. If you wait a few more days, there are still [-] jackets that have not been sewn, and they will be sent over when they are sewn."

The messenger said again: "General Huwei still has [-] Huns under his command. It's easy for his own people to talk about, but he was afraid that the Huns would not be able to wait, so he just went to the Ministry of War. Mr. Ping said that he would not be able to mention this matter until tomorrow morning. Before he came out, Huwei The general ordered the younger one, if the Ministry of War can't solve this matter, I can only come to the Political Affairs Hall to find you."

You Miao knew that Li Zhifeng was going to send a messenger to urge the food and clothes, and must have reached the point of urgency. After pondering for a moment, she said to Changyuan: "Changyuan, take this brother to the mountain villa, and let Uncle Qiao stay with him." Enough food for us to survive the winter, and the rest will be sent to the front line. I will write another note, you take it back to the Ministry of War, let Ping Xi have as many clothes as you want, and send them out first. If His Majesty asks, I will take full responsibility."

The imperial court had no hope, so they had to pay for it themselves. You Miao kept complaining, and only hoped that Nie Dan could win the battle.

That night, You Miao fell asleep anxiously, until the fourth watch, but the messenger turned back and said through the window, "Master You, are you asleep?"

You Miao got up in a daze, and the messenger, dressed in travel and dust, with a tired face, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Brothers, thank Master You for saving his life..."

You Miao quickly helped him up and said, "It should be, there is no need to do this."

The messenger took out a letter from his pocket, presented it to You Miao respectfully, and said, "This is a letter from General Li Zhifeng's family. I was in a hurry to ask for food just now. I forgot it. My lord, forgive me."

You Miao took it and asked the messenger to rest for the 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 feelings for a moment, and suddenly someone from the courtyard came to say that Sun Yu woke up and called him over.

Sun Yu didn't sleep well these days, and You Miao knew it.Although Sun Yu didn't say anything on the surface, he was worried about something in his heart. All the officials in the court were anxious, and he was more anxious than everyone in the court.Right now, it seems that the only person who is not in a hurry is You Miao.You Miao's confidence in Nie Dan and Li Zhifeng is close to blind, but Sun Yu's vision is farther and wider than his. If this battle is not resolved, the series of consequences caused by it will be enough to bring down the entire Tianqi Dynasty.

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 Sun Yu must have woken up when there was such a commotion. The messenger came and went back and forth twice before Sun Yu called him over. I'm afraid things might change.

"Frontline reminders." You Miao said, "Bring a letter from Li Zhifeng's family."

Sun Yu groaned, beeped again, and coughed a few times. You Miao wanted to go forward to help, but Sun Yu waved his hand to signal no, and then ordered: "Old eyes are dim, and I can't read clearly. You can read it to your husband." listen."

With the light in the room, You Miao opened the letter and murmured, "Ziqian."

"Brother Nie is trying to set up a trap. It's a critical moment. Brothers can save some food, but the Xiongnu army cannot be cut off."

"He Motie'er is very shrewd. After several battles, he was unwilling to withdraw all the 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 Tatar spy. After interrogation, he learned that the Tatars The Khan is on his deathbed. He Motie'er is eager to get out, and we have unanimously decided that even if we don't attack, we must drag He Motie'er and not let him go back."

"Prince Gegen is facing the battle for the throne after Hu Richa's death. The battle for the throne is bound to be a scuffle. The more anxious He Motie'er is, the easier it is for him 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 win the throne for Queen Baoyin. And if He Motie'er loses his footing, Tang Hui and I will go around Qishan Mountain and carry out an assault. When Brother Nie is dry, we will set fire to the mountain."

"My elder brother has already learned from the Tatars that I am serving in Tianqi, and the Quanrong tribe may go south to compete with the Wuhu for the Central Plains. If the Quanrong enters the pass, there may be... a change."

You Miao looked at Sun Yu worriedly, thinking that this is really not good news.Sun Yu looked calm, and ordered: "Keep reading."

You Miao: "If everything is irretrievable...I can only...can only..."

Sun Yu: "What can I do?"

You Miao didn't read any more, Sun Yu said: "When the messenger came, where did you go?"

You Miao shook his head blankly, and Sun Yu said again: "Tell Li Zhifeng that the frontline military situation and offensive plan cannot be written in the family letter to prevent the content from leaking."

"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 dog soldiers, the Wuhu and Tatars are not enough, and the addition of the dog army is simply a mess .

When Ye Youmiao tossed and turned without sleep, when it was dawn, the servant came to wake him up, saying that it was Sun Yu who asked him to go to court.Chaoshang didn't say anything else, but saw and saw for a long time about the grain and grass. You Miao uncovered the bottom of 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 yet been resolved, and the army rations are far from enough.

There was a usual quarrel all morning, and after the court was over, You Miao followed Zhao Chao back to the imperial study and informed the Quanrong people that they were about to go south, but Zhao Chao replied calmly, "Got it."

That sentence immediately alerted You Miao, got it?
