    ?

    Inside the Jianmen Pass.

    Li Chengqian's army is stationed here.

    Today's Li Chengqian, although the sword gate is guarded in his hands, in fact, Li Chengqian himself is under great pressure.  Because Jianmen Pass is the last dangerous place in the Bashu area.  Once Jianmenguan is lost, the army under his command will no longer be able to resist the surging army of Xia.

    It's just that Li Chengqian is guarding the Jianmen Pass, and the army is stationed here, and the daily food consumption is innumerable, which puts Li Chengqian under tremendous pressure.  In the beginning, Li Chengqian brought food, but after all, there were so many people, the little food he brought was quickly consumed. Now, his food is collected from the local area to ensure that the army can continue.

    Even so, the pressure is enormous.

    Barracks, in the big tent of the Chinese army.

    Li Chengqian is currently arranging things.  The person sitting below was none other than Lu Deming.  Lu Deming used to be the teacher of Li Chengqian in Donggong, but he was dismissed because he targeted Du Qi.  After many years, Lu Deming has aged a lot, but the only thing that remains the same is his resentment towards Du Qi.

    Li Chengqian was talking to Lu Deming. The things he arranged mainly involved the current military pay. After all, there was a shortage of food, but there should be no more arrears in the military pay.  After finishing everything, Li Chengqian finally said: "Master Lu, when it comes to the soldiers' salaries, you must not be careless and must be implemented. The more difficult it is, the more you must pay attention to these. I don't believe the rest.  I can rest assured that you can implement it yourself. Once you find out who dares to withhold military pay, you don¡¯t have to hold back and deal with it directly.¡±

    Lu Deming said: "His Royal Highness, please rest assured that the minister will complete the task. This should be paid to the soldiers' salary, and no one can deduct it. Whoever dares to deduct it will take off his hat."

    Li Chengqian said: "That's what it means."

    Lu Deming turned around, said goodbye and left.

    After Lu Deming stepped back, Li Chengqian sighed in his heart.  Now at Jianmen Pass, it is not difficult to pay the soldiers. The money he brought has not been used up, and the soldiers' salaries can be distributed, but food is still a big problem.  If food cannot be raised all the time, even if Li Chengqian is stationed in the pass, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

    When Li Chengqian was thinking about the follow-up arrangements, not long after, a soldier entered, saluted Li Chengqian respectfully, and reported that Wang Yuan was back.

    Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered Wang Yuan to enter.

    Previously, there was a shortage of food in the army, so Li Chengqian asked Wang Yuan to rush to Pu'an County to collect food from local merchants so that he could tide over the difficulties.  Now that Wang Yuan is back, Li Chengqian is quite excited.

    Wang Yuan entered the tent, saw Li Chengqian, saluted and said: "His Royal Highness."

    Li Chengqian said: "How about a treat?"

    Wang Yuan said: "His Royal Highness, this time I went to beg for alms and asked the major families in Jianzhou to support food. Some small businessmen enthusiastically donated food. These small businessmen gathered together and raised a total of 50,000 shi of food, which is enough for our soldiers.  Eat for a while."

    "It's just that the Yang family here originally planned to hope that the Yang family would give one hundred thousand shi of grain, but the head of the Yang family directly refused and only gave 10,000 shi of grain. I still accepted it."

    "But Yang Lu is domineering and extremely arrogant. He doesn't take His Royal Highness in his heart at all, and he doesn't take the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty into his heart at all. Yang Lu is too selfish."

    "The Yang family has a big business, and even the biggest businessman has mastered countless resources. It is not difficult for the Yang family to have a mere 100,000 shi of grain. But his Yang family refused. Your Royal Highness, this Yang family is really hateful."

    Wang Yuan's face was full of resentment.

    A look of disgust.

    Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "The performance of the Yang family this time, the crown prince has recorded it. But now that the Yang family is willing to give food, then temporarily turn a blind eye and close one eye, and don't care about other things. Just wait for this difficult period.  After the days pass, you can attack the Yang family. His Yang family is such a big family that he only gave 10,000 shi of food, which is to send a beggar! For the sake of the overall situation and stability, let him be ignored."

    Wang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Prince Shengming!"

    Li Chengqian said: "Based on this calculation, a total of 60,000 shi of grain will be sent to Jianmen Pass."

    "yes!"

    Wang Yuan responded immediately.

    Li Chengqian said: "The food for our lieutenant officers and soldiers can't last long. Now that we have this batch of food, it can just relieve the urgent need. And the autumn harvest is just around the corner. When the autumn harvest is harvested, the food will be collected in the name of the court."  , it will be much easier if we have food. Wang Yuan, when will this batch of food be delivered?"

    Wang Yuan said: "Three days later!"

    Li Chengqian pendulumHand said: "Okay, you can arrange to go, and you will be responsible for the inspection and acceptance of the food."

    "yes!"

    Wang Yuan got up and said goodbye.

    Li Chengqian sat alone in the tent, with a slightly dignified expression and a slight smile.  The food problem is solved, at least the soldiers will not be hungry, and they can continue to fight against the Xia army for a long time.

    ?After Wang Yuan retreated, another general came in and reported to Li Chengqian that there was not enough food and the daily meals for the soldiers were not enough. If Li Chengqian had been in trouble before, because there was no food.

    Now Li Chengqian is not worried at all. With a flick of his sleeves, he said forcefully: "Let the soldiers hold on to the order. The crown prince has raised 60,000 shi of grain, and it will arrive in three days. After this batch of grain arrives, the soldiers  You don't have to worry about food."

    After the general accepted, some generals doubted: "Prince, is there really food?"

    Li Chengqian said: "Enough is enough!"

    The general is relieved now.

    Since the prince said so, he didn't bother to ask any more, and went back to inform.  Not long after, Li Chengqian got the news of the food, and it had already spread among the checkpoints. The soldiers were relieved when they learned that food was about to be delivered.

    During the war, Youliang was not in a panic

    Outside Jianmen Pass, the Xia Guojun camp is stationed.

    Xiao Yuanqi now has to patrol the army every day, and then take a look at Jianmen Pass from a distance.  This level is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if he has a weapon, it is difficult to break through.  It has been several days since Ma Zhou left the barracks, but up to now, no news has been sent back, Xiao Yuanqi is still a little worried.

    Even if Xiao Yuanqi was worried, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress the worry in his heart.  When Xiao Yuanqi was patrolling the place, suddenly, a soldier hurriedly came to Xiao Yuanqi's side and reported: "General Xiao, there is a person from outside the camp, who said he came to deliver news about Army Division Ma."

    As soon as Xiao Yuanqi heard this, he went directly to the gate of the camp. He didn't go back to the tent to wait. He went directly to the gate of the camp. When he saw the person waiting, he walked over and said, "I'm Xiao Yuanqi, you look for me  What's the matter?"

    The visitor was arranged by Yang Lu.

    He handed over the letter directly and said, "General Xiao, this is the letter from Military Division Ma. After reading it, you will know everything."

    Xiao Yuanqi took it and browsed quickly.

    Because it was a letter passed by a flying pigeon, the letter was folded into strips and tied to the pigeon's leg, so the language of the letter was refined, and it directly stated that Ma Zhou had persuaded Yang Lu to surrender, and that Yang Lu would do something about the food in Jianmenguan next, so that  Xiao Yuanqi was ready to fight at any time.

    After reading it, Xiao Yuanqi looked at the person who came and said: "You write back to the military adviser and tell him that the general knows the situation. Everything is fine here, so there is no need for him to worry."

    The person who came turned around and left.

    Xiao Yuanqi was completely relieved at this moment.  Now that Ma Zhou has arrived in Pu'an County and has convinced the Yang family in Pu'an County, Ma Zhou is now safe.

    What Xiao Yuanqi has to do now is to stare at the soldiers of the Tang army on the checkpoint, ready to go to war at any time.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
