It's night, Manna Hall.
Although after Li Chengqian's rectification, the cabinet and Huang Menlang could directly participate in the activity of correcting the memorials, which shared the emperor's worries.
But Li Shimin still had to check some things, and they couldn't make the final decision on government affairs.
Just when he was reading the memorial, a eunuch suddenly ran over in a hurry.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhou stepped forward without waiting for him to speak.
Eunuch Zhou glanced at the other party and then said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
"Um."
After the eunuch nodded, he took out a small wax pill from his pocket and handed it to Eunuch Zhou: "This was passed back by the spies in the Zheng Mansion."
Eunuch Zhou took the wax pill, looked down at it, and then said: "You go down first."
Wait until he leaves.
Eunuch Zhou then crushed the wax pill and revealed the note inside.
After seeing the contents of the note clearly, Eunuch Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
He quickly came to Li Shimin with the note and handed it to him.
After Li Shimin saw it, he frowned: "He agreed?"
"It seems so."
"I just don't know if they can succeed."
Eunuch Zhou said with some worry: "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision on this matter early. If they really succeed, then all the soldiers on the front line will..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin slowly waved his hand to interrupt him.
Afterwards, Li Shimin slowly stood up.
"If they really did this, it would be more than a personal grudge."
He stuffed the note into a nearby candlestick for lighting.
Watching the note burning, Li Shimin's eyes were complicated, and he said quietly: "It's completely collaborating with the enemy, it's completely treason..."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Eunuch Zhou's eyes: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go..."
He didn't say anything else.
But after working together for so long, how could Li Shimin not understand what he meant?
It's nothing more than wanting to be the first to kill those guys who are causing trouble in the dark.
Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said, "No need to, let them do it. I really want to see how that kid will deal with the embarrassment in front of him."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou was shocked: "Your Majesty, this matter is not only about Your Highness, but also the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I believe that boy will find a way."
Li Shimin's expression was indifferent: "Moreover, one general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones being withered. In order to let someone inherit our Datang, it is worth sacrificing some lives."
This sentence is filled with the ruthlessness of the emperor.
It also shows Li Shimin's attitude.
He just wanted Li Chengqian to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and inherit his position.
No one can stop his thoughts and steps.
The reason why he chose to use this method was that he had already seen that Li Chengqian did not want to be the emperor.
It's just that he has some scruples, and he can't break through the taboo in his heart.
In this case, he has an obligation and responsibility to help Li Chengqian break through.
Even if it means sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people, he will not hesitate...
…
The southern foothills of the Daxianbei Mountains.
This was the first line of defense established by the Tang Dynasty to defend Goguryeo.
Gao Zhixing personally led 10,000 people to garrison here.
After all, Goguryeo has been attacking for almost a month now, but Goguryeo still has not broken through Gao Zhixing's defense.
And this day was another day after Goguryeo's fierce attack failed.
Gao Zhixing came to the camp as usual and personally directed his soldiers to find stones and wood to strengthen the defenses.
At this moment, a guy wearing a deputy general's armor came behind him and said, "General."
Gao Zhixing looked back at him: "What, is something wrong?"
"Um."
The deputy general pursed his lips and said, "The food transport team still hasn't come."
"What?"
Hearing this, Gao Zhixing frowned.
Then, he waved his hand and called another lieutenant general to take his place. Then he followed the previous lieutenant general down the fortifications and walked towards the central military tent.
As he walked, he asked: "What day is it?"
"It's the seventh day."
"It's the seventh day..."
As the saying goes, food and fodder should go before the soldiers and horses are moved. Food and fodder are very important to an army.
As for his own grain and grass supply lines, Li Chengqian's arrangements were not perfect.
The grain and grass transported from the pass to Mobei will first arrive at the Beimo Farm, and then transported to the two armies by the farm's grain transport officer.
As for the Daxianbei Mountains, according to Li Chengqian's arrangement, grain and grass were delivered every three days, and the amount delivered must be enough to feed 10,000 soldiers for four days.
But now, he actually ran out of food, and he did so for seven days in a row.
"Did you ask the grain officer over at the farm?"
Gao Zhixingzhi asked: "What did he say?"
"There's no reply yet."
Hearing this, Gao Zhixing pursed his lips and said, "Don't tell anyone about this yet. I'm afraid it will cause cholera to the morale of the army."
"If the grain transport team is not here tomorrow, I will go to the Beimo Farm to have a look in person."
Hearing this, the deputy general pursed his lips and said nothing.
But by the second day, there was still no sign of the grain transport team.
This time, even Gao Zhixing couldn't sit still.
The lieutenant general pursed his lips and said, "General, the food we saved earlier is basically gone."
"If the food transport team does not arrive the next day, we will have to reduce the soldiers' rations to one meal a day. Otherwise, in a few days, the soldiers will go hungry to fight."
"This must never be done."
Gao Zhixing hurriedly waved his hand: "If the soldiers don't even have enough to eat, then how can we keep silent?"
After thinking for a moment, he looked up at the deputy general and said, "You stay and lead your brothers to guard this place."
"If you really can't resist it, evacuate to the second front."
Hearing this, the lieutenant general was shocked and asked quickly: "What is the general going to do?"
"I suspect that there is a problem with the food supply. I have to go to the Beimo Farm in person."
Gao Zhixing glanced at the deputy general, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiaolong, I believe in you, you can definitely do it."
After saying this, he didn't care what the other party's expression was and walked directly towards the barracks where the war horses were kept.
This place is not close to Beimo Farm. According to rough calculation, it must be more than a thousand miles away.
Along the way, Gao Zhixing took hundreds of soldiers and slept in the open air, and it took him nearly four days to return.
What made him angry was that he came back on purpose by taking the food transport road, but he didn't even see the shadow of the food transport team along the way.
What does this mean?
It showed that the other party did not deliver food and grass to him at all.
He led a group of brothers to fight in the front, but the people behind him cut off the food for him.
This made him so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
After entering Bei Mo Farm.
He strode directly into the temporary camp and grabbed the collar of the grain transport officer sitting behind the desk.
"What the hell do you do for food?"
"The Goguryeo people are here where the uncle is leading the brothers to fight to the death on the front line."
"But you damn girl didn't even give me food. Do you believe I'm going to chop off your dog's head right now?"
