Chapter 362 (1/2)
”The father and the third brother are right. The children think it's not the right time to send troops. This year's capital is flooded. Most of the army's grain in the past years was transported from the capital to the frontier fortress. It's still a problem for the soldiers in the frontier fortress to eat and drink. If we fight one after another, our army will be damaged. After this war, the king of Xiling will still be worried about our Dongling. This war has hurt the vitality of Xiling. This is not true It will be able to make up for it in a moment and a half. When the time comes, our army can take Xiling with the least loss. Why not? ” Hear Chu Shi Wei Ming say so, the prince Chu Shi Lan Fu of one side looked at it, wait for its voice just fall, Chu Shi Lan Fu said quickly.
Chu Shitian you looked at the prince and nodded, ”well, the prince said that...” Chu Shiyou Tian was talking.
A bodyguard came in from outside and knelt down.
Chu Shiyou Tian then asked, ”what's the matter?”
”Emperor, Shuo Hou is waiting at the gate of the hall.” At this time the guard arched his hands and said.
Hearing that, the ministers could not help laughing and saying, ”Shuo Hou is back.”
”Hurry up!” Chu Shiyou Tian said at this time.
The bodyguard served, and then went out.
Then the ministers all looked to the door.
See shuoling at this time a black robe, dusty from outside the hall came in.
Then he went to the center of the main hall, and knelt down on his knees
”Hurry up, Shuo Hou, please.” Chu Shiyou Tian said at this time.
Then shuoling said, standing up, ”thank the emperor.”
”Shuo Hou has worked hard all the way. Come here and show him a seat!” Chu Shiyou Tian said at this time.
Then the chair moved behind shuoling.
Shuoling nodded and sat down.
”Shuoling, what's the situation of the frontier fortress now?” When shuoling sat down, Chu Shiyou asked shuoling.
Shuoling then replied, ”under the leadership of general Cheng and General Li, the frontier guards fought bravely and worked together to defeat the Xiling army
”If I really don't see them wrong, how are the casualties in our army?” Chu Shiyou Tian said with a smile.
Shuoling nodded at this time, and then said, ”the Xiling army attacked at night before, but there were some casualties in our army. The casualties in this war were not serious.”
”Good, good.” Chu Shiyou Tian did not laugh at this time and said loudly.
Then Chu Shiyou Tian asked again, ”how much food do the frontier guards have?”
”The emperor doesn't have to worry. Xu Qing, the new governor of the capital, sent people to eat for the frontier fortress soldiers. The soldiers have no worries. It's also an important factor in the victory of the war.” Shuoling then said.
Hearing this, Chu Shiyou's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and then he asked, ”Jiandu sent people to feed the frontier fortress?”
”The Emperor didn't know how to plant potatoes for the people in the capital during the disaster relief. The production period of potatoes was very short. After a few months, the potatoes would mature. The people in the capital could not only wrap their stomachs with this, but also transport the surplus potatoes to other places for sale and exchange for what they needed.” Shuoling said at this time.
Chu Shiyou Tian smiled and nodded, ”I didn't expect Xu Qinggang to take office, so I share my worries and solve my problems.”
”My father, Shuo Hou went to help the frontier fortress this time, so that he could defeat Xiling so quickly. Shuo Hou is the blessing of Dongling. My father should reward him.” The prince Chu Shilan Fu then said to Chu Shiyou Tian.
Chu Shiyou Tian smiled and nodded, then looked at shuoling and asked, ”the reward is natural, the official position is too vulgar, today I agree with Shuo Hou's request, how about it?”
As he said this, Chu Shiyou Tian looked at shuoling, which seemed to be the supreme reward. In fact, Chu Shiyou Tian was trying to test shuoling.
See if it has ambition!
I saw shuoling stand up from his position at this time, and then arch his hand and say, ”thank the emperor, I just have one thing to say.”
”Let me hear that.” Chu Shiyou Tian then sat up straight and frowned slightly, then looked at shuoling and asked,
only shuoling said at this time, ”emperor, I have a request, Qing Cheng went to Beiling alone before. I am not sure. I want to go to Beiling to have a look.”
Hearing shuoling's words, Duke mu, who had not spoken at all, was relieved.
It seems that shuoling's heart has fallen. It seems that he thought more about it before.
He didn't know why shuoling agreed to marry the Anqin princess at the beginning, but from the look in shuoling's eyes just now, he knew that shuoling's heart was Qingcheng.
”Qingcheng must have arrived at Beiling now. Will Shuo Hou go at this time and Qingcheng will have returned? But if Shuo Hou wants to go, I will not stop him.” Chu Shiyou Tian frowned slightly at this time, and then said to him.
Chu Shiyou Tian is thinking in his heart at this time. Shuoling is not in the Imperial City, which is convenient for Anqin to investigate slowly.
Hearing that Chu Shiyou was relieved, shuoling saluted Chu Shiyou, ”thank the emperor.”
