I’m The King

Chapter 761: : Drum horns continue to sound sharp (33)

With a bang, Ji Ma directly overturned the big case in front of him, and the expensive jade objects on the big case fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

"Why?" He looked at Tan Feng, whose face was also blue, "Doctor Tan, can you tell me where did the high-level army jumped out? What did your Yan Lingwei do? This can affect Yi I don’t know anything about major events in the country."

Tan Feng knelt down and knelt his head heavily on the ground, "This is the fault of the minister. Has the minister discovered that the Eastern Army has hidden such an army? The minister is guilty, and the king will punish him."

Ji Ling gasped heavily and stared at Tan Feng, thinking that he would take the other party seriously, but he also knew that this was just thinking about it.

Zhou Yu knelt down to Tan Feng's side with a heavy face, "My lord, the most urgent matter is not to pursue Yan Lingwei's negligence, but to deal with the immediate crisis. The defeat of the Tianhe County soldiers is inevitable, so I asked Ji Wu carefully. After the messenger sent by Gui, the other party won Yiyang. After protecting the two places, Ji Wugui mistakenly believed that this was just a small group of people's harassment, and induced Ji Wugui to send two armies to seize the city. Nothing, and more importantly, Ji Wugui did not assemble the power of the county in the first time. This gave the East Army the opportunity to break through. In addition to the cavalry, the Army also had infantry. The moving livestock moved extremely fast. Although there is no new news yet, the minister believes that only the more than ten thousand people in Tianhe County can be saved by Ji Wugui. I am now afraid that Ji Wugui will order the entire county to be stationed. Soldiers go to aid Tianhe County. If this is the case, He County will most likely fall to the enemy that day. I hope Ji Wugui hasn’t issued such an order so that the garrisons from all over the country can still defend themselves by the city. In this way, it’s okay. Delay the opponent's offensive speed."

"He has already issued such an order." Tan Feng raised his head. His forehead was a bluish purple, and it was obvious that he had tapped heavily just now, and he was indeed regretful to the extreme in his heart. "Before I came to see the king. I had received a report from Yan Lingwei, Tianhe County."

Ji Ma took a deep breath and looked at the two people in front of him. "Get up all, you are the king's right-hand man, Doctor Tan, just now the king's words were heavy."

"It's true that the minister neglected his duty, the king is right to scold him!" Tan Feng shook his head.

"Get up and talk, now, what should I do?" Ji Ling tried his best to calm himself down.

Tan Feng and Zhou Yu stood up and glanced at each other. Tan Feng said: "Lieutenant Zhou, you are in charge of military affairs. What countermeasures do you have in your mind for this disaster?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and looked at Ji Ling, "The king, in Jicheng, there are more than 50,000 new troops stationed in Jicheng, and there are 5,000 Yulin troops who guard the city and the minister's mansion, guarding Jicheng. There is more than enough. , There are hundreds of thousands of people in Jicheng, the king gave an order. It is easy to summon Qingzhuang, even before reaching Jicheng high, with more than 20,000 people in Jicheng, it is impossible to break Jicheng. ."

Ji Ling snorted, "Taiwei, we have a new army of 50,000, so we can only defend in the city instead of proactively attacking. Do we find the enemy to fight?"

"My lord, although there are more than 50,000 men and horses. But Jicheng is such a big city, if you want to guard all places well. At least 20,000 to 30,000 well-trained troops are needed. If this piece is broken, we can use it. It’s only half of its mobile force, and the field capability of the Zhengdong Army, whether it’s me or Doctor Tan, has experienced it. We really don’t have a certainty of victory. What’s more, Gao Yuan still has a full 10,000 people coming this time. Iron cavalry, although there are also cavalry in the new army, neither the quantity nor the quality can compare with the lofty control of the prairie. If we don’t leave the city, we can stick to Jicheng. Once we leave the city, I’m afraid we will encounter them. Greater failure." Zhou Yu said straightforwardly, piercing Ji Ma's final fantasy cleanly.

"Doctor Tan, what do you think?" He turned his head to look at Tan Feng.

"My lord, I am not worried that Jicheng will be attacked by force now. What I am worried about now is food." Tan Feng is more worried." Taiwei Zhou said that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Jicheng. This is true, Qing Strong people are also easy to recruit, but because there are so many people, food will become the most deadly problem."

When it comes to food, Ji Ling's face has also changed drastically. Previously, he was only thinking about military matters, but he had forgotten this one.

"The food in Jicheng relies on the supply of Tianhe, Langya, and Yuyang. Today, all the food in Yuyang is supplied to Kongde's army. Shahe City in Tianhe County has been lost. The Eastern Army is raging everywhere, so don't think about the food. , There is a Tianhe County in the middle, how can the grain be transported here? Hundreds of thousands of people, how much grain does it consume in a day?"

"My lord, my lord!"

Ji Ling hadn't answered yet, there was a sudden rush of shouts from outside the hall. The three of them turned their heads and saw Chun Yuyan rushing in from the outside in an upright manner. Chun Yuyan has now been promoted to the first assistant of the country. Although in name, he is the first person under Yan Wang Ji Mausoleum, but in fact, his status and power are ranked behind Zhou Yu and Tan Feng.

"Chunyu Shoufu, what happened again?" Ji Ling asked angrily, "I have sent someone to look for you just now, but there is no one who finds you. Right now is the time of the national crisis, you are not on duty. Where did Tang preside over government affairs?"

Chun Yuyan was sweating profusely and was almost jogging all the way. He was not young anymore. He rushed on the road like a spark, but was yelled at by Ji Ling, and it was suddenly dark. He turned his face, "My lord, all the grain shops in Jicheng have closed their shops, claiming that the grain has been sold out. Now that the Eastern Expeditionary Army has captured Tianhe County, news of the attack on Jicheng is flying all over the sky, and the people hurriedly panicked. I went to the grain store to buy grain, but I didn't buy one. The people were screaming, and there were disturbances everywhere in the city. The minister had just gone to appease a few places and was summoned by the king."

"Chunyu Shoufu, the king is also worried, and the first assistant has worked hard, and the king knows it." Tan Feng hurried over to complete the game.

At this time, Chun Yuyan didn't care about what to do with Ji Ling, so she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the city is in chaos right now. Many people have already packed their belongings and started to flee. The four gates of Jicheng are closed, and even the gates of the city are closed. It's crowded with people, and if you don't come up with a proper method, I'm afraid that before Gao Yuan calls, there will be a mess in Jicheng."

"What, what should I do?" After all, Ji Ma has never experienced this kind of chaos. When bad news and terrible news hit one after another, he was furious, but for a while, he couldn't think of anything. How to come.

"Your Majesty, please give an order immediately to ask Taiwei Zhou to send troops to suppress these riots first." Tan Feng said loudly, "At this moment, there is no chaos in the city."

"Suppression lasts for a while, can it last for a long time? The people always have to eat. If they are going to starve to death, will they run out to make trouble?" Chun Yuyan said.

"Of course it's not just suppression." Tan Feng grinned, "The national crisis is at the forefront, and everyone is responsible. Those grain merchants, one by one, have a dark heart. If they want to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the country and make money, then they can't tolerate them, minister. What arrangement will Yan Lingwei immediately copy these grain merchants one by one."

"Many of these grain merchants have very deep backgrounds!" Chun Yuyan reminded.

"Deep background?" Ji Ling suddenly sneered, "Could it be that these people are backstage, is there any better than the four in this hall?"

"My lord, I will pick a few companies first. Chunyu Shoufu went to greet some other people in private, telling them, if you don’t know each other, don’t blame me Tan Feng for being rude. I believe they will still do it. Interesting." Tan Feng said.

"This can only be done at first, but how long will it not take care of this?" Chun Yuyan sighed.

"The king!" Tan Feng turned around and bowed to Ji Ling. "Please give the king an order. From now on, Jicheng will enter the military control. All the people and officials, regardless of status, rich or poor, all food in the family. , Must be handed over. The collected grains are all enriched into the Wang Cang. All the people of Jicheng will supply them according to their heads from now on. In this way, when it can be supported for a period of time, the ministers will be the first to take them out of their homes. All food."

Ji Ling's eyes lit up, "This is a good way!" He looked at Zhou Yu and Chun Yuyan, "What did the two adults say?"

"I agree!" Zhou Yu said simply.

"I agree too!" Chun Yuyan could only nod his head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Well, first, he asked Taiwei Zhou to send troops to suppress the riots in the city, and Dr. Tan went out again, caught a few profiteers and chopped their heads. Then Chunyu Shoufu came forward to appease, not afraid that they would not submit, after finishing these few things, and then announced that Jicheng entered wartime control, everyone, etc., must hand in grain, but those who do not pay more than a catty at home, That is, beheading. "Ji Ling said loudly.

"The minister obeyed!" The three men bowed simultaneously.

"But this is just an internal matter in Jicheng. How to retreat from the enemy? The three can have a good plan. Even if Gaoyuan can't defeat Jicheng, if he doesn't retreat, what should be done?"

"The first thing to do is to withdraw Kong De from Yuyang County and let him come back to King Qin." This time Chun Yuyan spoke first, "Then I will ask the king to issue the king's command and order all the county governments to have it. The king of dispatched troops, although the military strength of the local counties is limited, but only 20,000 horses have entered Tianhe County from a high level. Many ants have killed the elephants, and he cannot stay here for long. In addition, I also ask Dr. Tan to notify Donghuna immediately. By the way, please make sure they do it earlier to relieve the pressure on our place. As long as the Loophole War resumes, Gao Yuan will not care about this place for the time being."

Ji Ling nodded slightly, "Chun Yu Shoufu, this is the old and solemn words, so let's do it like this." (to be continued)
