"HMM. where is the golden Minister? How is the preparation for the food and grass of the 200000 troops of the general army of Shi?" Zhu Qiyu, sitting on the Golden Dragon chair, nodded and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of officials among the courtiers.

Jin Lian stood among the courtiers. Hearing that Dai Zong ordered his name, she stood out with fluorene board and said, "if you go back to the emperor, grain and grass will have arrived at the Xuanfu. As far as I know, some grain and grass will move with the army, and some grain and grass will need to be transported to the front line every three or five days. According to this, most grain and grass should still be in the Xuanfu."

"Then carry it over." hearing that the grain and grass had been prepared early, Zhu Qiyu asked with great joy on his face.

Only after finishing this sentence did he find that the whole hall was suddenly silent, as if there was something wrong with his sentence. Fortunately, the ministers were also good at understanding people's hearts. Xu Youzhen, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, stood up and said, "your emperor, it's difficult to transport food and grass now. It must be that there should be all the cavalry led by the first near sanbuchuan city. If they were sent up now, it would be the same as a sheep into a tiger."

"Yes, yes." Zhu Qiyu made a big red face. Although he has been emperor for six years, he has never been on the battlefield. His understanding of the war is only seen from books. Now, after Xu Youzhen's reminder, he knew that what he just said was too hasty and his face turned red. In order to eliminate the impact of what happened just now, he thought of the law to divert everyone's attention, looked at Shi Heng in the military general team and said, "governor Shi, but I don't know when the newly assembled 200000 new troops can assemble and reach the battlefield?"

"Return to the emperor." Shi Heng arched his body and said, "the assembly time will take about 15 days. After all, 200000 people are not a small number. As for when they can reach the battlefield, if they only rely on their legs, they are afraid that it will take another month and a half to get to the foot of sanbuchuan city. But the time of two months should be enough."

"Two months?" this answer made all the ministers participating in the court meeting pay their heads and ears and talk one after another. If it took two months, I'm afraid it would be impossible to defend the city. In that case, nearly 200000 troops in the city would be eaten, which was undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the military power of the northern Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu on the Dragon seat shook his head. "I'm afraid it won't work in two months. In this way, we can say what we can do to transport grain and grass to sanbuchuan city."

"This..."

The ministers shook their heads like rattles. If you want to break through the Warsaw cavalry, you have to transport so much grain and grass to the city. It's a word. It's hard.

After waiting for a long time, no one could stand up and offer advice, which made Zhu Qiyu angry. At ordinary times, they all boast of being patriotic ministers. They are eager to show their hearts to themselves. Or compare yourself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, how capable they are. But now when we encounter problems, we just learn to shake our heads one by one. How can we not disappoint Zhu Qiyu?

After a burst of discussion in the hall, it became quiet again. Obviously, everyone didn't think of a better way. Looking at the performance of the ministers and thinking of the military situation ahead, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help getting angry. He slapped his palm on the Dragon case and asked loudly, "all Aiqing are the smartest and most capable people in the world. Don't even you have any better way?"

These words made all the old ministers blush. But there are still some thick skinned people who have not changed much. For them, what they learn is the ability to govern the world, the means of ruling the country with benevolence and righteousness, not the book of war.

It has to be said that this is the so-called Confucianism, one of the theories. If you read more books, you will write some good articles, that is, functions, you can obtain fame, and then you have the qualification to be an official. Then you will muddle along a little, boil your qualifications, and finally become the so-called Minister of an bang and the country. With such people, it is no wonder that most people live in dire straits.

Still the silence of the whole audience, Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more ugly. He once again felt a sense of isolation. He once again felt what it was to hate less when he was a man.

At the moment of silence, a voice suddenly came out. Xu Youzhen, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment in a second-class official uniform, came out of the class with a fluorene board and said, "your emperor, in fact, you don't have to be so troublesome to transport food and grass to sanbuchuan city. It's easy as long as one person agrees."

Zhu Qiyu was very happy that someone stood up. The person who stood out also thought of a way to solve the problem. At present, Zhu Qiyu asked in a hurry, "Xu Aiqing, what good way can you say it quickly."

Hu Zhen, the Minister of rites who had never spoken among the ministers, had stood there and closed his eyes. At first sight, Xu Youzhen stood up. It was none of his business. His face was suddenly changed. His eyebrows were not wrinkled together at first, but then slowly stretched out.

Yang Chendong has long told him that Xu Youzhen is also a person on the road. But in recent years, the two have not had more contact, perhaps because they are worried about each other. Just doing some things silently echoes each other from afar, and things that can cooperate will also support silently in private.

Xu Youzhen, Hu Zhen, naturally knows something. He is smart, has insight, can recognize the situation and has exquisite means. It's just that Hu Zhen was surprised that he wanted to stand up at this moment. He had guessed what this person was going to say, but now let Yang Chendong participate in this matter. Is it really good? The opponent this time is the cavalry alliance of warra cavalry and Yili ba. Does the five-star army really have the strength to stop them?

But as Xu Youzhen, he has rarely fought uncertain battles. For such a big event, did he receive a secret order from Yang Chendong before? Did his son-in-law want to take the initiative to participate and share some benefits, or did he make all his own ideas?

While Hu Chen was still guessing, Xu Youzhen had already left the class and hugged her arms and said, "emperor, if you want to solve this situation, you can only ask Zhongdan to come forward. There may be no other way."

"Zhong Dan Gong?" Zhu Qiyu on the Dragon chair had a look of expectation. At this moment, his look became a little ugly.

I don't know when, in the northern Ming Dynasty, the word Zhongdan Gong has become a taboo. If it is not necessary, no one will mention it. Perhaps everyone knows that this person's great potential has threatened the survival and development of Beiming. However, this person's power has reached a certain extent, and he is no longer the kind of person who can be easily manipulated and oppressed.

Even if there is no way to deal with him, let's not mention him first, which is out of sight and out of mind. But now, Xu Youzhen broke this rule and took the initiative to mention that a clear and incomparable displeasure flashed across Dai Zong's face.

"Loyal and brave? How can he have such ability?" Zhu Qiyu's tone had a trace of dissatisfaction.

Listen, listen, gongs and drums listen. All the ministers are good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that, the emperor is a little angry. The smartest way is to stop this topic immediately. But now Xu Youzhen has no retreat.

Since the last time Yang Chendong appeared in the capital of Beiming Dynasty and saw him at night, Xu Youzhen, who had always been mentally wavering, knew that he had been on the big ship of Yang Department. Next, I'm afraid it's impossible to go on. The only thing we can do is to find a way not to let the big ship sink in the sea and find a way to sail farther.

After getting to know him, he took the initiative to cooperate with Yang's work. For example, when the five-star army captured North Korea, many ministers in the DPRK accused the five-star army of fighting against Daming's vassal state, which is clearly a kind of disrespect for Daming. Instead of coaxing with these people, he privately found emperor Daizong, saying that North Korea was not the territory of the Ming Dynasty after all. Even if it was taken away, there was no substantive loss. He might as well take this opportunity to ask the five-star army for some war horses. After all, strength is the king.

As long as you have enough strength, what you lose now can be taken back one day.

It was Xu Youzhen who came up with such an idea. He originally wanted to denounce the five-star army, and even sent troops from Liaodong to support Daizong Emperor Zhu Qiyu of Korea. Thinking that it is more important to strengthen itself than the vassal state was captured. After all, North Korea is not the first vassal state to be captured.

Zhu Qiyu agreed, and Xu Youzhen joined forces with some courtiers who made friends with him. When he finally won the Korean Dynasty close at hand, Yang Chendong only paid 50000 war horses, which were not given away in vain, but lent to Beiming, which should also be converted into silver and returned in the future.

Of course, I owe too much. It's hard to say whether I can pay it back, but at least I owe money in name.

The five-star army even won North Korea in such a short time. This matter also makes Xu Youzhen have a further view on Yang Chendong's strength and understanding. After all, it used to be some small countries in the south. It can be said that they were occupied in wild places, and their influence was far from so great. What is the strength of the five-star army? Xu Youzhen came up with an idea. If possible, he would go to the beginning city of the grassland to see what scale the Yang system has reached.

In his opinion, this is such an opportunity. Xu Youzhen stood up and spoke to the emperor.

Another main reason why Xu Youzhen has the courage to stand up is that he believes that Yang Chendong doesn't want to see nearly 200000 troops of the northern Ming Dynasty in sanbuchuan City eaten by grassland aliens. It is to cater to this idea that he chose to take the initiative.
