The imperial concubines in the palace were also free-minded to fight and calculate. It can be seen that the siege of Rongren was not smooth.
But it was not so smooth to defend the city. The army discipline of the imperial forest army had been relaxed for a long time. Although there were many people, the combat power was extremely poor. In particular, Gu Xiaode was not noble enough at that time. After he could not suppress them, he took up another xuanjiawei and stood still with it. First, he complained about his limited energy, and then he ignored the soldiers and generals outside xuanjiawei.
This not only resulted in the failure of officers and soldiers in the imperial forest army, but also in the ignorance of officers.
Later, it was led by the grand division to let the nobles in the city gather together the private soldiers and bodyguards who were guarding their homes and yards, and then they were put into the royal forest army after being dispersed. Relying on the training and instruction that these private soldiers and bodyguards usually receive, they can barely hold down their positions. It can be seen how the imperial forest army has become desolate!
This is the city. Let's talk about some teachers who work for the king.
The latest army is the one that Su Xiuming and Shen zangfeng of Yanzhou defend Yanzhou. It is composed of 20000 Xiliang army and 40000 Donghu army. On the strength of the army, it is the best of the Wei Dynasty. But the number is too small! Even if they want to rescue the capital, they can't get away from it.
In addition, it will take some time for most of Donghu's people and xuanjiawei to come here.
The problem is that people are still missing after the expected arrival of the two sides.
It's easy for xuanjiawei to guess. Most of them are not very lucky. When he received the news, he had been fighting with the refugees. He couldn't get away from it for a while.
But Liu's side Even when Taiwei was asked privately by the grand master, he couldn't guarantee that the emperor was surrounded by such a big thing. The army in Donghu didn't say that it was time to mobilize a large number of people to serve the king. After all, Liu's family is still the subject of Wei Dynasty, and there are many Liu's blood in this emperor!
Even though Weiyuan Hou and Taiwei had a long-standing feud, Liu Xixian, the younger generation of Weiyuan Hou who had cultivated for many years, was still in the imperial capital?
But outside the city, there was no flow. The soldiers attacked the city day by day. The soldiers in the city never found any abnormality in the rear of the soldiers in any direction. What thoughts did Marquis Weiyuan have By this time, who can not be suspicious?
Xuanjiawei had only one hundred thousand men, and he had enough supplies for several months. He had fought in an open county. It was hard to say how many people and how many supplies he could have when he came back. Without the help of Weiyuan Hou, the emperor could only hope to support the Xiliang army. But the emperor and Xiliang are so far away. After the news is passed on, the army doesn't say that they can start from there. They have to choose the main general, select the soldiers, pack up their bags and prepare food and grass
It's still there without delay.
You need to know that mingpeitang has been fighting for more than ten years since Shen Xuan took over. Now all the people of mingpeitang's prestige are not in Xiliang. In case the people there have any thoughts It's hard to say.
The Qingzhou army may not be able to sit back like this, but it can't get away from itself - Zezhou hasn't fought down until now.
Therefore, the grand master ordered to hide the delay of Qin Wang's master, and privately ordered to collect the city's food for unified division.
The latter decision was opposed by many people: "people are afraid that it will cause confusion."
In fact, this is only one reason. The other reason is how much food can Li Shu have? The largest food reserve is still in the large households. It is because they have surrounded the city and are able to live in luxury. If they are collected together, even if they are given more than Li Shu, it's better to be assured and free in their own hands.
The Grand Master knew their mentality as well as his fingers, and said lightly: "now it's chaotic, and there's plenty of food in store, and the town can hold it down! If we do not control them, how can they continue if they do not retreat in a few months? The city is still defended by people! Li Shu has not enough food in his hand. Once it is exhausted, will he sit down and die? Without their food, there will be chaos! It's better to exchange food for work and ask them to help build more works in the city. In their spare time, they can practice with private soldiers, or change hands for soldiers, or prepare for the future Can all the great emperors rely on our family and private soldiers? If it can be done, it depends on you! "
He added that Duanmu family would take the lead in handing over the stored grain, "together with the herbs accumulated by his granddaughter, they would also hand over them for public use."
As for this, several other companies have been silent for a while, and they have also agreed one after another.
After all, what can we do in the future if the grand master is right and the emperor is besieged for a long time without saving food? A group of people born in the rich brocade heap can't stand the tragedy of people eating each other - they have to consider many children and grandchildren.
However, the big head has been handed over. No one can be so foolish as not to leave behind.
But it has played a great role in pacifying the people in the city. When I saw the grain delivered to the storehouse by car and piled up like a mountain, I felt a sense of peace from the patriarchal clan to the Li Shu.
But those who are not in charge think that it seems that so much food can be sustained for a long time.
Those who will have to settle accounts are not at ease. Wei Changying looks at the food reduced to four dishes and one soup on the table, but does not move his sheath. He frowns first: "even if it is reduced to this, according to the stored grain in the warehouse, I'm afraid it can be used for the whole city for seven months. Seven months later, rurongren did not retreat... ""In seven months, if you don't tell me, our army in Xiliang will arrive." Huang comforted her and said, "after all, the five CHILDES and the eldest grandson are in Xiliang, let alone our childe is not in the imperial capital! Since Rongren besieged the imperial capital, where could they besiege Yanzhou? Our young master can break through the siege and join the Xiliang army. Will the soldiers dare not to retreat at that time? "
Wei Changying thinks that even if her husband wants to join the Xiliang army, it is only when the Xiliang army arrives here. Otherwise, with the help of Shen zangfeng's troops, we will still keep the safety of Yanzhou City. But Xiliang Army She stayed in Xiliang with her husband for several years. I don't know who's family of those clansmen over there has no idea?
Even Shen Youjia, who has been a Xiliang Duwei for more than ten years.
Shen zangji and Shen Shuming are both young and spoiled. They are not talented enough. They haven't been to Xiliang for a long time, and they haven't experienced war. They have no prestige or foundation at all. I was respected only because of my father and brother.
If those uncles and uncles have a different idea, they will unite to make a fool of themselves
If not for this possibility, how could Gonggong Shen Xuan agree with the request of the grand master? This time, the Shen family brought out the most food, because in order to reach the sixty thousand Xiliang army, the Shen family had already raised a batch of food and grass to prepare for fear that the imperial court would delay giving them.
Although most of the food and grass were put in the manor outside the city, the big houses and several other courtyards inside the city were also full.
These are all bought by the Shen family with silver.
If he had faith in the Xiliang army, Shen xuangen would have ignored the request of the grand master.
Now the biggest hope of the Shen family is that Shen zangfeng will not be trapped in Yanzhou. In this way, even if Shen Zang Ji and Shen Shuming can't persuade the Xiliang army to start, Shen Zang Feng can still go to Xiliang in person. With his prestige in Xiliang army and his orthodox position, it is possible to suppress those who have different intentions and bring the army to rescue.
Of course, as soon as we go to Chenguang, it will be long - not counting how Shen Cangfeng got away from Yanzhou.
Shen Xuan thought about this, so he handed over 70% of the stored grain to the emperor so that he could support the emperor for more days and save the son.
Wei Changying thought of all the messy news he had heard in the past two days, but felt heavy in his heart.
And she used rice, coax meeting two sons, but listen to next person report, say dew bead came again.
"Let her in." Wei Changying knows why dewdrop came. After she was summoned, Dewdrop asked in tears to come back and be her maid again. She wanted to come from nianbang.
The reason is that Lu Zhu said that she had been forgotten by Nian bang for a long time. Secondly, she is very bullied in Nian's backyard. Even the things that Wei Changying asked Ni Weiyi to send every month to help her are stolen and robbed from time to time So now she thinks it's better for her to come back and serve the captain.
Wei Changying is sorry that he gave the dew which is young and beautiful to Nian Pang, who knows that he will be happy and tired of the old. At this moment, after hearing this request, he sighed and said: "I'll ask Aunt Huang to arrange work for you. Go to find a place to live after you."
Dew was so overjoyed that she kowtowed her head hard before leaving.
For Wei Changying, it's just a small thing, but what she didn't expect is that in the next few days, other dowries in shops, inns and other industries, and other family children with some faces of the Shen family, are all looking for reasons to go into the house to serve.
"Now the families in the city have limited their rations, but it's not enough for people to eat, is it?" After hearing about the reason, Wei Changying asked people to frown at Huang's, "what do they mean? It's hard to say that Li Shu hasn't been in a mess yet. Did they do it first? "
Huang sighed: "right now, nothing. However, there are rumors in the city that the grand master will order the collection of grain stored in each family and the unified distribution. It is because this siege of the imperial capital will not be lifted as the madam said before, but when it will be! But there is always limited food in the city Now it's also distributed to Li Shu. Once the grain storage is going to be exhausted, it must be to take care of the patriarchal clan and our high-ranking families first. So they are now begging to enter the government to wait on them, so that they can get the moon before they can get close to the water. "
After a meal, Huang added, "maybe dewdrop is the idea, so she will go to nianbang and ask for the deed of body and return to Jintong hospital."
After a moment's silence, Wei Chang Ying said, "the Rong people are foreigners. They have been besieging the city for such a long time. I am not a dead man. How can I let them roam on the land of my Wei Dynasty?"? This rumor is all nonsense. "
"Then these people?" Huang asked
"Follow the crowd and be confused!" Wei Chang Ying turned his wristband and said in a deep voice, "tell them what I said just now, and let them all be safe!"! How to say is also our family's servant, outside how many Li Shu all looked at them! Now everything in the city is OK. What are they doing? Dewdrop that's a special case If it causes people's feelings to fluctuate, my father will blame me. Don't think I can say a word for them! "
