"Is your shopkeeper here? Call your shopkeeper here!"
Looking at the greasy mutton soup, Liu Deng really had no appetite, so he just broke off a piece of wheat cake and put it in his mouth for a taste. The cake tasted good, but it was just a bit gritty. I didn’t sift through it, but in such a small place, it can be regarded as careful.
"I'm really sorry for you. The shopkeeper has something to do at home today, so he simply didn't come over. If you have anything to do, just tell me!"
The waiter looked at Liu Deng with a flattering expression.
"Since the shopkeeper is not here, nothing will happen. You can go down first!"
"Okay, you eat first. If you need anything, just say it!"
After the waiter finished speaking, he nodded and walked to the door, minding his own business to attract customers.
Sure enough, it was similar to what Liu Deng imagined. Feng Jing was deliberately making himself sick and brought himself to such a place.
Almost none of the dishes on the table were edible, and I don’t know who he learned the recipe from. Could it be that he was a handyman who was cooking the fire?
Although Liu Deng's food was hard to swallow, the guards all ate with mouths full of oil, as if this was really a rare delicacy.
Fortunately, Zhao Wengu was more considerate and brought some dry food from the carriage to satisfy Liu Deng's hunger, which saved his life.
"How is the defense work in this city going? How is the recruitment of soldiers under General Guan Fu? Seeing that the war is coming, the Modao Army is an indispensable force!"
After finally finishing the meal, on the way back, Liu Deng sat in the carriage and talked quietly with Feng Jing.
"Other things are easy to handle. It's just that Yanmen's treasury is empty. Until now, I haven't had any good solutions. After all, the king also knows that Yanmen is..."
When he said this, Feng Jing did not continue. The place of Yanmen was originally a border town. There had been wars for many years and the people's livelihood was difficult.
If Feng Jing had not implemented the policy of living in harmony with the people, I am afraid that at this time, the entire Yanmen would have been filled with mourning.
"I know your difficulties, but you still have to find a way to solve the problems that need to be solved! I can get you money, ordnance, etc. There should be no shortage here in Yanmen, but food, I will tell you the truth, I am now I can’t get much out of it for you, you mainly have to rely on yourselves!”
There is nothing that can be done about it. If this war is not fought, some food may still be allocated to Yanmen, but once this war lasts for a long time, even Liu Deng will not have much food in his hands to use.
"As long as we have 50,000 dan, we should be able to solve our urgent needs! As long as we get through this period of lull, this year will be over..."
Feng Jing knew the situation of Daiguo very well. He was originally an important member of the imperial court, and naturally he also had some old disciples. Although he could purchase it through some channels, it would take time after all.
"Fifty thousand dan is no problem, I agree!"
Liu Deng patted Feng Jing on the shoulder. He also knew that it was difficult for Feng Jing. After all, one person had to take care of the lives of so many people. It would be impossible for a mediocre person to do this job.
"Your Majesty, do you want to summon General Guanfu to come?"
Seeing that the car was approaching the prefect's mansion, Feng Jing asked softly.
"No need, I'm just here to see you today. The war is about to begin. General Guan Fu should have a lot of things to worry about, so I won't bother him! You can go back directly later. I'll go back right away. Gone to the military camp!"
The entire Yanmen soldiers were nervous and busy, with inexplicable nervousness on their faces. Although it was winter now, they were still covered in heavy iron armor.
"Your Majesty, won't you stay in the city tonight?"
Feng Jing was really hesitant to speak. No matter what, even if he was in the army, he would definitely not be as safe as he was in the city.
After all, the Huns are all cavalry. If Liu Deng stays in the army, if the Huns come to kill him, then...
"Don't worry about me. I have things to discuss with several generals these days. It's more convenient to stay in the military camp! But my guard of honor and maids will stay in Yanmen City tonight. , please trouble Mr. Feng to find a place for them to live!"
"No! However, I also have a gift that I want to give to the king. I will send someone to the military camp outside the city immediately!"
Liu Deng had already said this, so Feng Jing naturally couldn't say any more, so he simply agreed and left directly.
After Feng Jing got out of the car, Liu Deng patrolled around the city before returning to the military camp.
The news of the arrival of the army had long spread throughout Yanmen, and the people in the city were all rejoicing. The imperial army had arrived, and they finally no longer had to worry about the Huns.
But there was no joy in Liu Deng's heart. The situation was worse than he expected. If they were just sending a bride off, why did they have so many people?
At least, this big boss is unwilling to give in and wants to demonstrate. Whether he has other plans depends on the specific situation of this battle. If this battle is defeated, I am afraid that the army that came to demonstrate will be defeated. , will immediately become the invader who strangles himself.
He wanted to secure victory in the war, and he himself was not a famous general. Liu Deng was actually not familiar with this type of war in the cold weapon era, so he could only gather the strength of everyone and deal with all possible situations. Plan ahead.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the Huns arrived, and Liu Deng still had plenty of time. He could not choose the time to start the war, but he could choose the place to start the war.
The terrain of the Great Wall near Yanmen is difficult, but after passing the Great Wall, there is a plain, and the vast grassland is unobstructed. Of course it is not friendly to the Han army, but for the Huns, it is a heaven-sent battlefield. .
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The open terrain means that the Han army's crossbows can exert their maximum power.
If you want to deter the Huns from their ambitions, defeating them is not enough, you must let them see the gap between them and the Han army!
The weakness of the Shenwu Army is too obvious. If they face the heavy cavalry alone, they have almost no power to fight back.
Liu Deng does not only have the Shenwu Army in his hands. If multiple arms are fighting together, although the Han army cannot take the initiative to attack the Huns, it will definitely have no problem defending.
"What is this?"
While Liu Deng and several generals were discussing, Du Ziteng and several guards suddenly walked in carrying several large boxes. Liu Deng asked curiously.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this is a gift sent by Lord Feng. Lord Feng specifically told me to send it to your Majesty for inspection as soon as possible!"
"It doesn't matter what time it is. How can I be in the mood to look at the gifts? Get out!"
