The war on the northern frontline is ongoing.
It has been a month since King Jiang left the capital, that is to say.
The armies of both sides fought hard for nearly a month, and both suffered considerable losses.
But fortunately, the soldiers of the Daxia Dynasty were not afraid of life and death and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
In this case, the Turkic dynasties were defeated one after another.
In Kyoto City, a soldier in military uniform rides a war horse.
They are driving towards the city gate at high speed.
"Urgent report from the northern front!"
The soldiers shouted, and the city guards immediately moved out of the way to allow the soldiers to enter the city.
"drive!"
The soldier whipped the horse's leg, and the horse neighed and rushed into the city of Kyoto.
In the Imperial Palace, inside the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Mingzhi held a secret letter in his hand and hurried to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the north!"
Jiang Qiulu immediately stepped forward and took the secret letter from Li Mingzhi's hand.
Then he opened it and looked at it carefully.
After watching for a while, Jiang Qiulu frowned.
The secret letter pointed out that the two sides were fighting fiercely on the northern frontline.
But just as the Daxia dynasty's army was winning successive victories, the Turkic army suddenly sent people to secretly attack.
The food and fodder of the Daxia army were burned.
Although the soldiers guarding the food and grass rescued them in time, only a small part was rescued.
Now, the remaining food and grass for the Daxia Dynasty army. I can only hold on for less than seven days.
The troops of the Daxia Dynasty were forced to stop their advance.
"How long does it take to transport grain and grass from Kyoto to the northern front line?" Jiang Qiulu asked Li Mingzhi.
"Your Majesty, it's a long distance from Kyoto City to the northern frontline."
"It will take three days to ride in at full speed."
"If you add food and grass, it will take about ten days." Li Mingzhi replied.
Jiang Qiulu sighed.
"No, I can't wait this long."
"The remaining food and grass on the northern frontline can only last for seven days."
"The Daxia army is about to win, and no problems can arise at such a critical moment."
Jiang Qiulu frowned and thought about countermeasures.
"Eunuch Li."
"The old slave is here!"
"Immediately ask the messenger to pass the order to the city closest to the northern frontline."
"Let them help the northern frontline."
"At the same time, Kyoto is working hard to prepare food and grass, and must send food and grass to the northern frontline as quickly as possible."
"And inform King Tianqi so that the soldiers don't have to worry."
"promise!"
Li Mingzhi immediately took the order and left.
When such a situation occurs, the first thing to do is to stabilize the morale of the military.
Now this is all Jiang Qiulu can do. Now he can only hope that the soldiers in the army can persevere.
The entire palace immediately became busy.
Prince Yong's mansion soon heard the news.
"The Turkic Dynasty finally did something beautiful." King Yong looked at the information in his hand and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then Daxia's army will definitely defeat itself." Lin Qingzhi said.
"not that simple."
"Here in Kyoto, we will definitely not sit idly by."
"Now Jiang Qiulu has given orders to prepare food and grass as quickly as possible and send them to the northern frontline."
"This is a great opportunity."
King Yong said, with a sinister smile on his face.
"My lord, what do you mean?"
"Can we send people to stop it?" Zhongli said.
"exactly."
"Captain Zhong, order our relevant personnel to delay as much time as possible."
"After seven days, Daxia's army will be completely wiped out." King Jiang said.
In the afternoon of the next day, inside the Tai Chi Hall.
Liang Feng, the chief minister, personally asked to see Jiang Qiulu.
"Your Majesty, the food and grass have been prepared, totaling one million catties."
"When can we set off?" Jiang Qiulu asked immediately.
"Return to Your Majesty at any time."
"good!"
"Order the grain transport troops to quickly send this batch of grain and grass to the northern frontline."
"It must be delivered within seven days!"
Jiang Qiulu immediately ordered.
Everyone immediately went to prepare, after everything was arranged.
Jiang Qiulu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Di Yuanzheng came here to deliver the memorial.
"General Di, you are here."
"Please take a seat!"
Before Di Yuanzheng could speak, Jiang Qiulu pulled Di Yuanzheng over and pressed him onto the chair.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything important to do?" Di Yuanzheng asked.
"The important matters have been taken care of."
"But the troublesome matter has not been dealt with." Jiang Qiulu sighed.
"Presumably General Di has also heard about the situation on the northern frontline."
"This rabble of Turkic dynasty actually destroyed our food and grass."
"I have hastened the preparations for Grand Secretary Nong Liang Feng and sent them to the north overnight." Jiang Qiulu complained to Di Yuanzheng.
"Your Majesty, this is why I came here." Di Yuanzheng said.
"Oh? What does the old general think?"
Di Yuanzheng paused.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know."
"Food and grass are sent to the front line in advance, and the route and transportation time must be kept secret."
"The place where the army stores food and grass must also be kept secret."
"Now the Turkic army unexpectedly attacked our supply camp."
"I think someone may have leaked the information."
Hearing this, Jiang Qiulu was shocked.
Yes, grain and grass are important strategic materials on the battlefield and must be strictly guarded.
How could the Turkic dynasty easily know where the grain and grass were stored?
There must be someone behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiulu was the first to suspect the great farmer Liang Feng.
But it’s wrong to think about it.
If it were Liang Feng, he would not have prepared so much food and grass in just three days.
I will definitely find a way to delay time.
And he even came to report it in person, saying that he could leave at any time.
Therefore, there must be someone else.
"I understand. Thank you, old general, for coming to tell me."
"I will definitely investigate this matter strictly." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, the old minister proposed."
"Don't be anxious about a thorough investigation."
"Our grain and grass will be transported to the north, if you are an old minister."
"We will definitely send people to ambush them halfway and intercept the food and grass."
"Therefore, the veteran feels that protecting food and grass should be the top priority." Di Yuanzheng said.
Jiang Qiulu slapped his head.
Because I was too anxious, I actually ignored such an important matter.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to escort the grain and grass north."
Di Yuanzheng stood up and asked for Jiang Qiulu's orders.
"Well, old general, I'll leave this matter to you."
"This is the last thing we need to fight against the Turkic Dynasty."
"Please, old general."
Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will take the people and set off immediately."
After saying that, Di Yuanzheng immediately returned to the military camp to prepare.
After a while, Jiang Qiulu thought about it.
"Here comes, inform Nanzhen Fusi."
"Send a thousand Jin Yi guards to follow the veteran general Di Yuanzheng and go north together!"
"We must ensure the safety of General Di and his supplies."
