"Han Anguo has met His Highness the King of Dai!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Han. I haven't seen you for a few days. Mr. Han has reduced his expenses a lot. Although this official business is important, Mr. Han also needs to take care of himself. If you fall ill, who can you leave the food and grass transportation to? "
After not seeing each other for a few days, Han Anguo's body had lost a lot of weight.
The prison sentence in Suiyang nearly tortured him to death.
His body had not been fully recuperated. After arriving in Lingnan, he could not eat well or sleep well. In addition, he was busy with official duties. After a few days, Liu Deng almost did not dare to recognize him.
"His Royal Highness, Dai Wang, is laughing at me. I am getting old. After arriving in Changsha, I really can't adapt to the climate here..."
Han Anguo smiled bitterly, and then clasped his fists towards Liu Deng.
"Speaking of which, I actually tricked Mr. Han into this matter. If I hadn't insisted, I'm afraid you would still be receiving blessings in Suiyang City at this time!"
"If the king said so, it seems to be true, hahahaha!"
After Han Anguo finished speaking, he burst out laughing.
Liu Deng didn't expect that such a serious guy would actually make such a joke. For a moment, he really couldn't take it anymore.
"He who can do the hard work, things here are complicated, and I really don't know who else to go to except you, so you have to hold on even if you feel uncomfortable!"
Liu Deng smiled self-deprecatingly, and then cupped his hands towards Han Anguo as an apology.
"It's just a joke. What's the matter with the king coming to me today?"
After finishing the joke, Han Anguo went directly to the topic.
"I'm not worried about the battle ahead. Each of these generals is a temporary choice. It's natural for them to control the affairs on the battlefield. I have to leave the matter of transshipment of grain and grass to Master Han!"
Liu Deng smiled and then said.
"Does the king have to leave for something?"
Han Anguo was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"We are our own people, so I will tell the truth! Look at this!"
Han Anguo and Liu Deng are old acquaintances. Liu Deng has already made enough judgments about Han Anguo's character since they met. In addition, Han Anguo himself is a famous minister in history books, so Liu Deng also has a good impression of him. There's not much to hide.
"The Huns are going south? How is this possible? Didn't the alliance between the two sides just be signed?"
Han Anguo just glanced at the content above and was stunned.
When Han Anguo was about to continue speaking, Liu Deng suddenly reached out to stop him, and then winked at Shunzi next to him.
"Send the order, no one is allowed to come within a hundred steps!"
"promise!"
Of course, Shunzi knew the importance and immediately started to clear the place with his guards.
"Now the Huns have begun to hunt caravans everywhere in the Huns. In order to prevent the news from being revealed, they are spending all their money this time!"
After watching his guards slowly walk away, Liu Deng lowered his voice and said.
"What should we do here in Lingnan? The war has just started. If we want to withdraw at this time..."
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Han Anguo immediately became anxious.
After all, after so much effort, Lingnan has just opened up the situation. If they withdraw at this time, all their efforts will really be in vain.
And what happened this time was a wake-up call for the South Vietnamese. If they couldn't completely destroy South Vietnam this time, it would be even more difficult for them to come back next time.
"Lingnan's plan remains unchanged. I will order people to deliver the food and grass one after another. I will leave the transportation of the food and grass to you!"
"Can the food and grass on the king's side be sustained? This Lingnan is a bottomless pit..."
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Han Anguo became even more worried.
The war in Lingnan is going smoothly now, but the later work is actually more troublesome.
After all, the Han Dynasty wanted the entire Lingnan, not just this piece of land.
If you want to keep the hearts of these people, you must first fill their stomachs. At this time, there is a food shortage everywhere in Lingnan. If you want to stabilize the situation here, you must at least feed this food, which can easily be calculated in millions. The people raised them for several months.
It is not difficult to conquer Lingnan, but how to fill the bellies of these people is the biggest problem.
If there hadn't been a war in the north, maybe the food in Liu Deng's hands would have been enough. But if there had been a war in the north, and there would have been a melee involving hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, the amount of food and grass needed would be an astronomical sum.
If the two fronts start a war, let alone a mere Dai country, even the entire Han Dynasty will probably be stretched thin...
"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to handle this matter in Lingnan. Master Han, this important task will be left to you!"
"Han Anguo will not give up even if he dies!"
Han Anguo was silent for a moment, then straightened his clothes, bowed and saluted Liu Deng, and then said.
"The national crisis is approaching, please!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath and quickly returned the salute.
"Han Anguo is just a scholar, he doesn't deserve such a gift from the king!"
Liu Deng had a distinguished status, and Han Anguo was really flattered by his politeness.
"Lord Han, you are joking. A scholar of the country should treat you with the courtesy of a scholar. Now that your majesty is far away in Chang'an, I think if your majesty comes here again, he will not be able to receive this courtesy!"
The generals in the front are only responsible for conquering cities and territories, while the rear is not only responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, but also the recruitment of civilians, the dispatch of bureaucrats, and the maintenance of local security.
All of this combined, especially in this day and age, is a heavy workload that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Even a master like Han Anguo, who is experienced in government affairs, may have to work hard to be competent this time.
"A soldier dies for a confidant. The king's words today will suffice for Han Anguo's life!"
After Han Anguo finished speaking, he bowed to Liu Deng again.
"Master Han, if the two of us continue to be so polite, it will get dark!"
Just a few words of encouragement, but at this time, they actually got Han Anguo's desperate loyalty. This really made Liu Deng feel a little emotional. People are really simple at this time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more sensational, Liu Deng felt his nose was a little sore, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Let the king laugh!"
The emotions that had just been brewing due to Liu Deng's trouble were suddenly thrown out of the sky. Han Anguo bowed to Liu Deng in embarrassment and smiled.
"I'm going to rush back to Jinyang right now. I'll leave the five hundred guards around me to you. They are loyal and have been with me for many years. You can tell them to do anything if you want. If Jinyang comes, There are people who are not convinced, Mr. Han, just let them take the slate!"
"The King must not do this. Without them, how can the King's safety be guaranteed?"
After hearing what Liu Deng said, Han Anguo quickly waved his hand and refused.
