Chapter 439： spring thunder (1/2)
The night fell, and a large cloud covered the dark sky. Lu Jun withdrew for a day to set up a bonfire. The snow had become smaller, but it was even colder. King Lu sat on the pier, his heart was dripping. In blood, his 30,000 army was finished, and Wang Tubaye was finished.
The entire army was drained of the spirit and spirit, the order was scattered, the face was bland, and someone secretly escaped halfway, and now more people are whispering.
King Lu stayed for a moment, sobered up, staring at the dark night, facing the father-in-law Liao: ”Do you think the enemy will steal the camp while night?”
”Your Majesty, no, it is difficult to discern the enemy in secret, and the enemy is also losing a lot. Now we must clean up the situation. We should be safe now.”
”How many more people do we have?”
”General Yan is counting, returning to the establishment, and appointing and dismissing the captain. Now it seems that there are still more than a thousand people.” Gong Liao whispered, his expression was bleak. Today, in the First World War, almost 30,000 soldiers were destroyed.
”What about grain?”
”There isn't much grain. Now it's killing horses and eating meat. Otherwise, it's frozen into ice immediately in this cold day.”
King Lu was silent for a long time, sighing in the sky, and his calmness and majesty had been restored in a blink of an eye: ”Come, send my guards and guards to form a supervision team to rectify the military discipline. Whoever dares to run away and kills without pardon, who dares to secretly talk about destroying the morale of the army, the same Kill without pardon. ”
King Lu said to a school captain following him, the captain was brave and immediately responded, and turned to arrange an inspection team for inspection.
”The defector, kill without pardon.”
”The order in the army is disrupted, and there is no amnesty to kill.”
The supervision team ran back and forth, shouting loudly. A cavalry wanted to run away in secret, the supervision team rushed up, grabbed it, cut it with a knife, blood splattered, and its head rolled off.
Looking at this, there was a fishy smell in King Lu's throat, and he couldn't help covering it.
”Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?” Father Gong Liao stepped forward when he saw that King Lu's face changed.
”Wow,” King Lu spit out a spit of blood, and he felt more relaxed in his chest. Gong Liao was shocked: ”Medical doctor, pass on too quickly ...”
With that said, I came to my senses, and there was no doctor.
”I'm fine.” King Lu reached out and stopped.
”Emperor, take care of the dragon body.” Gong Liao shed tears, and King Lu calmed down and said, ”I'm fine, don't make a fuss.”
”Now our army has suffered a heavy defeat and Chenzhou can't hold it anymore.” Lu Wang said coldly: ”Retreating to the state city is surrounded, but now the most important thing is to tighten the fist, so as to avoid a global collapse . ”
”With your arrangement, find some people who can be calm in the guards, and quickly ride to each county to send orders to let the county guards quickly bring food back to Jinju.” Speaking of which, Lu Wang was again heartbroken. The throat smelled a little **** again.
”Also, order Han Hongwu and Solitary Confluence.” King Lu ordered.
This decision was correct. Because of the defeat, it was only a thousand people. It was all over to catch up with the imperial army. Now the most important thing is to gather the army and stabilize the front. However, King Lu felt only a cold.
Beijing, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study
The beast-shaped stove was flourishing and the grill was warm. Several eunuchs were waiting at the door, and a voice came from the Imperial Study Room: ”Your Majesty, the battle is urgent, and all the soldiers in the region must prepare. Is it intended?”
Emperor Qitai listened, remembering the strategy offered by Pei Ziyun, and remained silent for a while: ”Ai Qing drafted a text. If the battle is unfavorable, he will transfer the army.”
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
At this time, Cabinet Minister Yue Ji took a step forward: ”His Majesty, the court has a honour, and it has snowed everywhere this year. Many places have been hit by disasters, and they have to use silver to go to relief.”
”The army surrounding King Lulu is still using soldiers. The money spent this month has more than doubled compared to the previous two months. Now it is necessary to mobilize the box soldiers. The treasury is really difficult to support!”
Emperor Qitai raised his face and groaned. He sipped in a tea cup without a word, and said a long time, ”First talk about the disaster relief, I remember that there is still a lot of food in Curry?”
”The emperor, in the past few years, has matured, there is grain storage, but Pingding Jibei Hou, military expenditures, adjustment of disaster relief, has used a lot of treasury grains, although there is still some foundation, but it is not much.
”What does Qing think he should do?”
”The commissioner can be dispatched for disaster relief and adjust the dosage according to half a catty of coarse grain per person per day, so that there will be no starvation this year. As for silver, there is really no way.”
Emperor Qitai was silent for a long time before he said, ”What are your thoughts on the battle situation?”
”In the eyes of Chen Chen, the big camp is surrounded, and it is very difficult for King Lu to break through, but it will take at least three or five years to slowly pass away. This military and food expenses are very difficult.” Jiang, who is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs Shu Yu said, ”The State Treasury spent 3.5 million taels last year. Looking at this situation, this year it is still 5 million taels, but the treasury has only 10 million taels.”
”With this money, it will last for two years at most, and it will fall into a situation of no money available.”
