    Half an hour later, in the Chinese army's tent. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? are completely opposite to the lively atmosphere in which I had happily dreamed of getting promoted and making a fortune.  At this moment, all the frontier generals in the big tent did not dare to show off their arrogance.  Each one looks at the eyes, nose and heart, just like the clay and wood statues in the temple.  As I said before, King Qing was very strict in running the army even though he was a thousand years old.  In other words, he has a very bad temper.  All the generals didn't want to "share wealth and honor". They had to go to the guillotine hand in hand before they could "share wealth".  "How's the loss?" It took a long time before Qing Wang Qiansui came out with these five words from between his teeth.  The generals of the border army looked at each other, and finally the one closest to him spoke: "The forage yard has lost more than 60%, the ordnance warehouse has lost more than 70%, and the grain depot" "What happened to the grain depot?"  ?" Qing Wang Zhao Che said, and sweat formed on the forehead of the general over there.  After trembling for a long time, he was finally defeated by Zhao Che's wolf-like gaze.  "More than 90% of the grain depot has been burned" "Ninety percent, ninety percent - 300,000 troops - 300,000 troops are about to gather here. What will your army eat then?! Gu,  The Lone King¡ª¡ª" Qing Wang Zhao Che's chest rose and fell rapidly for a few times before it calmed down. At that time, he had an idea: "Quickly, send Qingqi to Sanshan Pass! Control the pass, and then collect food and grass for the army in the Hetao area.  Let¡¯s set off as soon as possible and go to the Hetao area to eat!¡± Speaking of which, Zhao Che has really not wasted these nine years.  I came up with an idea immediately.  "The Hetao area is only two hundred miles away from our army's station. It can be reached in just one day on horseback. The defenders of Sanshan Pass can also be regarded as frontier troops. Taking the solitary king's token is enough to take over this place. The Hetao area is rich in water and grass, and it is one of the few granaries in the world. Even if  Now that all the 300,000 troops under the solitary king have gone, there is no need to worry about food." Even after saying this, many of the border generals still murmured in their hearts.  Military rations are such a big deal that there is no room for sloppiness: "If you had realized your problem earlier and divided your troops to go south in different directions, you would have already been living in Tianjing City by now. The sons and daughters will also have a good few days. What a great achievement,  You have to show off how many people you have? You have to gather 300,000 troops together before moving south. Not to mention the delay, the supply is also a big problem. Although the Hetao area is rich, the 300,000 troops are gone like locusts.  , I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t stand it. I don¡¯t believe you, a veteran who has been in the army for nine years, don¡¯t know how powerful this thing is.¡± ¡°At this moment, the prince was in a good mood, and the surrounding generals of the border army were also surprised.  He breathed a sigh of relief.  But soon, another equally big problem appeared in front of the prince - money.  "Well Wang Shuai, the military pay from Tianjing has not been sent last month, and the soldiers are already a little dissatisfied. In addition, the army is setting off, the required silver reward, and we are going south to Qingjun If you give  I don¡¯t have enough money. I¡¯m afraid the soldiers will¡± ¡°What can I do? Can the soldiers under my command rebel?¡±  Mian Ke is really a bit hairy. The banner he put out is that at best it sounds like he is on the side of the emperor, but at worst it means he is going to rebel.  The border troops are his soldiers, but they are also Xu's soldiers.  The frontier troops were brave, but they were also unruly people.  One is fearful and the other is unruly. The two combined will cause trouble no matter what you think.  If he doesn't spend enough money, there is no way that this 300,000-strong army will turn from his tool for conquering the world into a sword that can kill him.  "Where are those trading houses?! Didn't they say they supported Gu?! The two major trading houses in Jiangnan and Shuzhong received so much care from Gu in the north. Gu even turned a blind eye to them delivering food and supplies to the Di people.  Eye. Now is the time for them to repay Gu! They can only give them some benefits after Gu takes the throne!" The situation became more critical now, but Zhao Che's mind was still moving so fast.  Seeing Zhao Che looking like a hungry wolf, the generals of the border army who knew what had happened did not dare to neglect, and quickly reported back: "In the past few days, we have gone to the branches of these two trading companies in the Northland, and we have also asked them to report.  It's just that the people in charge there are always pushing back and refusing to let go, unless you personally guarantee that the trade with the Di people will be completely opened, the maritime ban will be lifted, and the trading rights will be handed over to them.  Trading company, they are willing to-" "-Sending troops over! If they don't give it to Gu Wang, we will take it ourselves!  Other merchants and big merchants in the North - they all want to contribute to Gu's army! Those who refuse - are rebels. You know what to do. " Listening to the murderous orders of the general,  All the generals?Feeling shuddering.  It's just that this great general is full of murderous intent.  But the rationality is a little less.  How much money does it cost to feed 300,000 soldiers on horseback?  Northland was originally sparsely populated and not wealthy.  Even if we scrape this place, how much money can we get from killing everyone?  We need results, we need money, we need military expenditures.  You still have to look at the two major trading houses.  Fighting a war is not something that happens in a day or two.  Originally, the northern frontier army received monthly military pay from the imperial court.  Now that it's gone, only by reaching an agreement with the two major trading houses can we get an endless supply of money.  If you offend others at this time, you will be fishing in vain.  What makes people even more speechless is that the assets of the two major trading companies in the North are actually just a drop in the bucket of the trading companies. Zhao Che fishes in such a dry lake, and all he can catch is a few small fry.  What this was done was really stupid.  There are still sensible people among the border army generals.  After hearing this order from King Qing Zhao Che, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.  Can the soldiers of the frontier army really achieve anything by relying on such an ambitious but weak idiot?  "We've boarded a pirate ship." At this moment, several border army generals suddenly heard this sentence in their hearts.  But since it is a pirate ship, it is easy to get on it, but it is difficult to get off it.  If we encounter another stormy day and hit a rock, we can't blame others.  "Just blame them for their bad fate." In the Forbidden Palace, brother and sister Zhao Hong and Zhao Ruier walked towards the old emperor's palace.  As he talked, he talked about this second brother who respected himself as a soldier at the border.  "Most of the food, grass, and weapons were destroyed, and we couldn't get out. Sanshan Pass was blocked by Gu's minions. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a desperate situation. After Gu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, an imperial edict came down, and they rushed to ask for the second son's life as a certificate of surrender.  Don't think there are too many people." "Brother Huang is quite clever," Zhao Ruier said with a complicated mood.  "Not really, not really. Just a little clever." Zhao Hong was in a good mood when his younger sister, who had been very strong since she was a child, praised him like this.  Then he answered several other questions from Zhao Rui'er: "Speaking of food, grass and weapons, these are the top priority of the army. How could it be destroyed by you, the emperor, so easily?" "It's very simple, you are stealing.  "Zhao Hong smiled gently and gracefully, as if he was singing about the wind and the moon, rather than talking about conspiracy methods.  "The police are stealing?" Zhao Rui'er didn't react for a while. After a while, she asked in disbelief: "Brother Emperor, are you saying that you bribed the generals of the border army who were supervising the food, grass and ordnance?" "Yes. Also wrong."  Zhao Hong betrayed him again, which made Zhao Rui'er anxious for a while. He acted coquettishly towards his elder brother for a while before he was willing to say anything.  "If you rely on the mountains and rivers, you will find ways to resell military rations if you rely on the warehouse. Rui'er has heard of this kind of thing," Zhao Hong asked.  Zhao Rui'er is in charge of 200,000 forbidden troops.  This kind of reselling of military supplies is not as simple as "hearing about it".  The total number of Shuoshu ordered to be killed exceeded three figures.  Nodding naturally at the moment.  "Reselling military rations and military supplies naturally requires finding a good buyer. Gu Lao has long wanted to know that Gu's trading company controls most of the trade in the North. The Western Region, the grassland both the real and crooked ways are all under his control.  Even if the lonely people don't go to them, they will come to the lonely people. Next, the collusion between officials and officials, the relationship network, and the chain of interests the cooperation becomes bigger and bigger.  The bigger it gets Ruier, do you know? In fact, a while ago, Gu had mobilized a large amount of funds to purchase military rations in the North. The amount was so large Oh, even if this fire doesn't start,  Without the supplies from Tianjing, the remaining military rations in the North are not enough to feed the 300,000 frontier troops, let alone for them to fight here from the North. You said such a big deal falls into my hands, if I take it.  If it is left in the hands of my second brother who has a bad temper, will they still survive? So, I sent people to force me. If they want to survive, they can only help me let this fire burn.  Get up and finish it off, destroying all traces of the corpse. In this way, even if the second brother is angry, there is nothing he can do. Such a large-scale operation proves that the opponent's level is not comparable to that of the warehouse managers.  The scale is large, and there are many people involved, so the law cannot punish everyone" "Surprisingly" After hearing what Zhao Hong said, even Zhao Ruier felt cold all over her body, and couldn't help but ask another question: "  If that's the case, then why does the emperor still set this fire? " "First, 'no' is much worse than 'very little'. Second, is it because Gu Bu set this fire?  How could the 300,000 border troops know as soon as possible that there was something wrong with their food?" Zhao Hong smiled happily.After saying these words, not only Zhao Ruier, but also Demon Lord Yi Qiuyue and the Taoist who had been watching the development of this matter in the sky.  These two experts also feltshuddering from the bottom of their hearts.
