Half a year later, Jiang Wenyue's health finally improved, but her face became paler and her figure became weaker. She looked as if she was weak and looked more and more pitiful.
It's a pity that the only man who can appreciate her delicate beauty is still far away.
Cui Anhua, who was far away, looked extremely ugly. He frowned and asked his subordinates: "Have the military supplies from Beijing not arrived yet? It's almost December, and the soldiers won't last long if they don't come."
The subordinate replied cautiously: "Not yet. I sent people to go more than 20 kilometers to pick up the military supplies transportation team, but after waiting for several days, I didn't see any team."
"It's so hateful! What are those people in Beijing doing? Don't you know that we are dealing with those ferocious bandits in Beirong? If the military resources are delayed for one day, our soldiers will suffer for one more day! Is there not enough food? " Cui Anhua became angry and anxious. He wished he could go back to the capital and drag over those officials and officials who refused to send their corpses and military supplies, so that they could deal with the Beirong people in person.
"There is still some food, but it can only last for five days at most. If the military supplies don't come, the soldiers will really be so hungry that they can't even lift their spears... Why don't you, General, send someone to urge them?" The subordinates on the side suggested, and then murmured in confusion, "It's really strange. In the past years, Beijing has never delayed our military resources. Why has it been delayed for so long this year? Did something happen to the government? Someone. Did you do this on purpose?”
His subordinates were talking casually, but Cui Anhua heard it like a Bodhi initiation. He suddenly remembered that his former brother-in-law and Liu Shichu's eldest brother Liu Jian was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who was responsible for the court's money, and military resources were all required. When it comes to money, his Western Expeditionary Army has never been short of money and food in the past, and the military supplies sent from the DPRK have never been delayed. Compared with other armies stationed on the border, they are much happier.
You must know that many of the materials received by other armies stationed on the border are delayed, and there are even deductions and shortages. However, because there is no one in the DPRK, even if they want to report it, they have no way to report it. They can only knock out their teeth and Xuetuan, under such circumstances, Cui Anhua, who never had to worry about military resources, was envied by his colleagues.
But now, he no longer envied the two of them in the past, because Liu Jian was no longer his brother-in-law, so it was naturally impossible for him to do favoritism for him.
In previous years, when Liu Shichu was the mistress of the Cui family, Liu Jian was very worthy of Cui Anhua. Every time military supplies were sent, his army for the Western Expedition was always ranked first, and supplies were never in short supply or withheld. He can deal with the Rong people without any worries, which is why he can live so comfortably in Liangzhou.
Now that he is no longer Liu Jian's sister-in-law, Liu Jian will naturally not facilitate him anymore, so his Western Expedition Army will line up like other border armies and wait for arrangements from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. With this arrangement, time will begin If you procrastinate, your material supplies will become less and less without realizing it.
Cui Anhua had no choice but to suffer without Liu Jian working for him. In fact, Liu Jian did not add insult to injury and deliberately played tricks on the military supplies sent to him. Liu Jian was already broad-minded and had high moral standards. .
Cui Anhua obviously remembered Liu Jian's role in this. However, he and Liu Shichu had already reconciled. Even if Liu Jian didn't retaliate against him, how could he still facilitate him?
Cui Anhua didn't know what it was like at this time. He was used to such convenience in the past and didn't think it was anything. When everything went smoothly in the army, he only felt that he was very capable. But now his privileged treatment is gone. Tens of thousands of soldiers were crying out for food and cotton-padded jackets. He was so anxious that his hair turned white, but he could only worry.
"I'll send someone to hurry up and save some food for cooking first, because we don't know when the military supplies will arrive. If it doesn't arrive in five days, it will be bad for the soldiers to run out of food." Cui Anhua grabbed his hair and was worried. The ground said to his subordinates.
After his men left, Cui Anhua immediately sat down to write an urgent letter and handed it back to the capital. He didn't know when the military supplies would arrive. He was unsure and lacked the confidence to do anything. But in his memory, not long after, the Rong people's bandits The army is about to invade the villages near the border, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, just like locusts. Wherever they pass, not a grain of food will be left.
In Cui Anhua's previous life, because military supplies arrived in time, the soldiers were well fed and clothed, full of energy, and had high morale against the Rong people. It didn't take long to drive away the Rong people, and the losses to the people were not great.
But this time, the food is almost gone, the cotton-padded jackets have not yet been delivered, and the soldiers are hungry and cold. Can they still face the fierce Rong people?
Cui Anhua seemed to be able to foresee the tragic situation of his team being beaten to pieces.
Now that his official position and even his life might be affected, he began to feel some regret in his heart. Did he make a mistake by insisting on making peace with Liu Shichu and marrying Jiang Wenyue? He obviously could have taken Jiang Wenyue as his concubine instead of making peace with Liu Shichu.
Liu Shichu was a virtuous and generous mistress and did not treat his concubines harshly. Presumably even if Jiang Wenyue became his concubine, Liu Shichu would be able to accept it, and he could be with the woman he loved. Isn't this right? The best of both worlds?…
So why did he have to marry Jiang Wenyue as his first wife?
At this time, Cui Anhua began to wonder whether it was because he had just been reborn and was not so clear-headed that he impulsively abandoned Liu Shichu and married Jiang Wenyue.
He did regret it a bit. Liu Shichu was still qualified as a mistress. She could not only support a family for him, but also allow her eldest brother to help him in the officialdom. However, Jiang Wenyue had a bad relationship with her natal family and could not help her at all. He really didn't think carefully about helping him in his official career, otherwise he wouldn't have to face the problem of military shortage now.
Now he doesn't remember at all the deep affection he had for Jiang Wenyue when he was first reborn. At the beginning, he only thought that his beloved woman would not be wronged, so he must marry her as his wife, and he also thought about protecting her under his wings from now on... …
But when he encounters the slightest difficulty, he shrinks back and regrets it. This shows that his "love" for Jiang Wenyue is ultimately no match for his own personal interests.
Fortunately, the court was not so unreliable. Just when Cui Anhua was so anxious that he had pulled out most of his hair, the military supplies finally arrived belatedly, before the Rong bandits invaded the border.
When Cui Anhua saw the team transporting supplies, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
In this tense and anxious situation, he completely failed to remember that Jiang Wenyue had passed her due date and must have given birth to his child. Therefore, of course, he did not remember to write back to care about his true love and ask her if she had given birth. Is it a son or a daughter?
Jiang Wenyue was already extremely weak due to giving birth to three children, and she couldn't wait for a long time for a letter of concern from her husband. She only felt aggrieved and sad, and she couldn't take care of her health at ease.
