In the past year, Bei Liao's attacks on the Li Jiajun have mainly focused on the Li Jiajun's logistical support.
For example, convoys transporting grain were frequently attacked. Due to the leakage of intelligence, Bei Liao was not only very familiar with the route of transporting grain, but also had a detailed grasp of the departure time.
Even after being disguised in various ways, most of the military rations could not escape Bei Liao's surprise attack.
The Beiliao people usually send several small detachments of capable troops to harass them many times along the way, regardless of morning or evening, and regardless of the terrain, making the soldiers escorting the grain and grass like frightened birds and highly nervous.
Then, take advantage of the moment when they are slack and tired to charge and slash.
Moreover, he will never be reluctant to fight.
Then, take the opportunity to burn food.
If the Li army was heavily guarded, the Beiliao people would pour kerosene on themselves and attack the grain carts.
Therefore, in most cases, although the food was not stolen, a lot of food was burned and burned.
Although the leftover food can be eaten. But the quality and taste have dropped greatly.
In addition, the nutritional content will also be seriously damaged.
Ji Jun was secretly angry.
Another more difficult situation is that the medicinal materials transported to the army were even more seriously damaged.
Burnt grain might make do with this.
Once medicinal materials are burned, or even just smoked, they lose their efficacy.
Gradually, Li Jiajun began to suffer from a shortage of medical treatment and medicine.
In addition, some people at the border were not spared.
From planting in spring to harvesting in autumn, we are always worried about sneak attacks by Beiliao people.
Sometimes in a village, dozens of people are working in the fields when weeding in the morning. When they return home in the evening, they find that one or several farmers have been killed.
As a result, the people at the border were panicked and unable to farm with peace of mind. Many people abandoned their homes and moved inland with their families.
As a result, large areas of fields were barren, followed by crop failure.
Although the Li Jiajun's military rations are still sufficient, the number of vegetables has decreased significantly.
Ji Jun was secretly frightened. She recalled some historical records she had read in her previous life. A great Khan of the Junggar Khanate named Galdan once said:
"Since now, we have used troops every year, trampled your plows in summer, and burned your crops in autumn. I am not yet forty, and my teeth will turn white and fall off."
She still doesn't know much about the specific year of the dynasty she lives in. In short, it is an imaginary dynasty.
However, it must have been after the Tang Dynasty, because Ji Min could casually say "Tang poetry".
There is no other way. After passing through, I keep fighting with those women in the back house. I have no time and no mood to learn historical knowledge.
At present, no matter what the relationship between Bei Liao and Gal Dan is, the path is the same.
Moreover, it looks very strong! It is also difficult to deal with!
Guest Officer Li is an orphan, and his name is "Zhan". After joining the Li family army, he fought bravely and was selected into the "Scout Camp".
Later, he asked to follow Duke Li, so he had a surname. Named Li Zhan.
Li Zhan said:
"In the past year, many soldiers have inexplicably suffered from fatigue, shortness of breath, rough skin, ulcerated lips, some even had swelling on their bodies, and some were talking nonsense and being slow in movement."
Ji Min's little eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and his eyes were full of worry.
Ji Jun held her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, my cousin has a solution."
This should be "B vitamin deficiency", especially "beriberi" caused by vitamin B1 deficiency.
Li Zhan added: "There are still some soldiers, like my subordinates. For some reason, sometimes they can't see clearly, and it's even darker at night. But sometimes they get better inexplicably. I didn't care at first, but later , such situations began to occur frequently, and the number of personnel began to increase, and the generals and military advisors began to feel that there was a problem. "
Li Mi said in a serious tone: "What did the military doctor say?"
Li Zhan shook his head: "At first, I thought it was poisoning, but then it was ruled out through repeated inspections. Later, my subordinates came out to deliver the letter. That day, it suddenly became dark, and people came in. After sitting down, I smelled the fragrance of rice and endured it. After eating a few mouthfuls, I..."
Speaking of this, Li Zhan looked a little stunned.
I had almost no money left, yet I went into a restaurant as if I wanted to eat for free.
Ji Jun suddenly asked:
"Do the meals in the military camp include meat and vegetables?"
Li Zhan smiled bitterly and said:
"The eldest lady is really asking! In the past, the Duke, the Crown Prince, and the general were all sympathetic to the soldiers, and even used their salaries to buy livestock and poultry from surrounding farmers to provide extra meals for the soldiers. Sometimes, you can also buy them from the surrounding farmers. Hunt some prey in the nearby mountains and forests. However, I don’t know what method Bei Liao used. In the past year, the number of animals in the woods close to our army has decreased significantly."
Ji Jun secretly thought, this is "night blindness" caused by lack of vitamin A!
"Is there a river nearby?" Ji Jun asked again.
Fish can also supplement some vitamins, especially vitamin A.
Li Zhan shook his head:
"There are several rivers near the Li Jiajun station, but the upper reaches are all over Beiliao. They have set up a lot of nets upstream, so the fish that can come downstream are very few and small!"
Ji Jun almost wondered, are there people who have traveled through Beiliao?
This operation resulted in non-combat attrition of the Li family army!
Zhou Huan's eyes were full of anxiety, but his tone was calm:
"My lord, should I report to Your Majesty and ask the imperial doctor to go to the border to diagnose and treat the soldiers?"
Ji Jun thought, why didn't he report it to the head of the Ministry of War?
Although she didn't understand the affairs of the court, she still understood the procedure.
Is it possible that these people in front of me have the privilege of "walking in front of the emperor"?
Or is there a direct "channel" to Tianting?
If that's the case, hugging their thighs is much better than hugging Yang's!
Zhou Biao said anxiously: "That's natural! We can't let the guys in the Ministry of War who don't work know about this situation! I've always suspected that the intelligence leakage is related to them! Even if it's not that those officials are cheating, at least the supervision is lax! Big cousin, Let’s just hand over the sign and see the Holy One!”
Li Mi was silent, seeming to be hesitating.
Zhou Huan looked at it, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Biao thought for a moment and seemed to understand the crux of the matter, then sat down helplessly and worriedly.
Ji Jun looked at Ji Min, his eyes full of confusion:
If you don't tell the Ministry of War and don't report it to the emperor, you still can't solve it. What are you thinking?
Ji Min spoke softly, as if explaining, but also asking:
"Cousin, is there anyone suspicious around the Holy One?"
In Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Jiao Xian looked at the fifth prince Zhou Chendong who came to pay her respects with a smile.
Among the emperor's thirteen sons, the third prince is the most handsome and handsome.
The second one is Zhou Qile, the seventh prince born to Concubine Qin. His face is as beautiful as jade, as if polished.
But compared to the third prince, he lacked that unparalleled surprise.
The fifth prince has handsome features, tall body and natural temperament.
There is a hint of melancholy in the eyebrows, a sense of coldness, and a bit of heroism.
In a daze, it was like seeing the young general with the silver helmet!
Zhou Chendong is as gentle as usual:
"Concubine Jiao is well!"
Concubine Jiao Xian said with a smile:
"How many times have I said this! And you are still so open-minded! But, are you still angry with your thirteenth brother?"
Zhou Chendong said in panic:
"I don't dare! My thirteenth brother is still young, and I can understand his mood, so I don't want my thirteenth brother to misunderstand me!"
Concubine Jiao Xian waved her hand and motioned for the fifth prince to sit down:
"Let him go! One day he will understand how good you are!"
A hint of darkness slipped through Zhou Chendong's eyes.
Concubine Jiao Xian said again:
"In a few days, there will be a banquet in Chen Guogong's mansion. Your brothers who have already opened the mansion have been invited. You brothers haven't seen each other for many days, so you should stay close to each other!"
Zhou Chendong lowered his eyes in response, then raised his eyes and asked with concern:
"Thirteenth brother, do you want to go with us? My son is here to pick him up."
Concubine Jiao Xian was startled, then quickly smiled and said:
"He is a little kid, what is he going to do!"
Then, he picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said:
"The Seventh Prince isn't going either, and I can't let Thirteen go. Besides, Chen Guogong didn't invite the younger prince either, because he was worried that he wouldn't be well taken care of."
Zhou Chendong's heart felt cold, but the smile on his face did not diminish:
"The mother-in-law said yes, I have recorded it!"
Ji Jun quickly turned around hundreds of times in her mind, and she made a decision in her heart. She walked up to Li Mi, raised her head slightly and looked directly into Li Mi's eyes:
"My eldest son, my Ji family has a unique secret recipe that can save thousands of soldiers of the Li family army. Moreover, I can also teach you a quick, efficient, secret and convenient method of transmitting information. However, I have conditions -"
Li Mi raised the corners of his lips, smiled warmly, and said warmly:
"What do you think."
Ji Jun suddenly thought of the word "pampering" in his heart.
Ahem, business matters are important, don’t let beauty fool you!
Ji Jun said seriously:
"First, this is the secret recipe of my Ji family. I contributed it to the Li family army. Therefore, the credit goes to my uncle. I ask the court to promote my uncle. Now he is the fourth rank. If he is not promoted to the third rank, he must be promoted to the third rank."
As soon as he said this, Li Mi's smile froze.
Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao looked at Ji Jun in disbelief.
Ji Jun ignored them and hummed in his heart, "What the heck, I have to give you advice for free. Anyway, I am a businesswoman, and I just want money and goods."
I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!
Ji Jun continued: "Second, I will ask for the title of county lord for my cousin. As for me, my status is low, I can be given the title of county lord and county lord!"
Zhou Biao raised two fingers and waved them in front of Ji Jun's eyes.
Ji Jun rolled his eyes at him: "What are you doing? Take your claws away!"
Zhou Biao looked at Ji Jun with a crazy look:
"Sister, you are not sleepwalking! Do you understand? My sister is the head of the county!"
Ji Jun sneered:
"Yes, your sister is amazing! Then let your sister go to the border to treat the soldiers! Does your sister know how to treat diseases? How dare you be the county head if you don't know how to treat diseases? The corpse is a vegetarian! Hurry up and make room for those who can do it. She is considered worthy. Self-awareness!”
Zhou Biao was choked in one breath! Pointing his finger at Ji Jun, he waved his sleeves for a long time, sat aside and sulked to himself.
Zhou Huan coughed lightly and said:
"Miss Ji, the military situation is urgent, please don't joke! People will say you took advantage of others' danger."
Ji Jun looked Zhou Huan up and down, feeling displeased, but for the sake of Ni'er, hum, I'll bear it.
Ji Jun smiled softly:
"I'm not kidding. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. Although there are big shots in the capital, I am a commoner, but I will not use the lives of thousands of soldiers as bargaining chips to achieve my goals."
Zhou Huan showed a polite smile and was noncommittal.
Zhou Biao snorted on the side.
The anger that Ji Jun had just endured came to the surface:
"What are you humiliating? Doesn't the imperial court pay attention to rewards based on merit? If you have status and are rewarded for merit, we deserve to spend our money, brains, and heart in vain? I didn't steal or rob. I earned money based on my ability. Earning fame is just joking and taking advantage of others' danger! So you, Prince Zhou, understand the righteousness so well, why do you give up your position as the crown prince to our sisters? We get what we want, and you also fulfill the righteousness! Don't you get the best of both worlds? Let’s talk about feelings together, don’t say one thing and do another!”
Anyway, Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao both have the surname Zhou!
Love so and so!
Zhou Huan's face looked slightly sulky, but he still said softly:
"Miss Ji, please forgive my inappropriate words, but this matter is not something we can decide, and the matter is serious..."
Ji Jun interrupted Zhou Huan impatiently and said:
"If you say you can't do it, don't blame me! Don't worry, I will still save people when I need to! However, I must make this request. You must consider whether to help me and how to help me!"
Li Mi asked gently:
"Why do you have to be like this?"
Ji Jun shrugged with a calm expression:
"I don't want to be bullied! My uncle and aunt went to the border to defend our country. My cousin and I were bullied, laughed at, and framed in the capital! Why didn't you come forward and teach Su Jin a lesson one by one? I want to protect ourselves. , is it wrong? If we get the title, the two of us will move out of the Huai'an Marquis Mansion and start our own business! We won't have to worry about Su Jin and others doing something evil every day! "
