Chapter 45 Think Again

One hundred thousand troops moved to the capital, at the forefront.

In a huge tent the size of two or three houses, a large golden nanmu table is placed in the center, a thick and warm carpet covers the entire floor of the tent, and a faint scent of medicine is wafted from the golden incense burner carved with dragons and hollowed out in the corner. Float out slowly.

Prince Sima Zhen sat on the wide chair behind Jinsinan's table, with his eyes closed, his black eyebrows were slightly furrowed on his white face, but his expression was calm, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

The second prince, Sima Xie, sat behind the small table on the left, frowning.

There was silence in the tent.

After a long time, the second prince, Sima Xie, said, "His Royal Highness, even if we dig up all the bark in this mountain forest, we will not be able to gather enough food. Our current food cannot support an army of [-] to catch up. to Jinlin City."

Sima Zhen opened his eyes, his eyes were black and white, his eyes were calm, he opened his mouth, his lips were slightly pale: "I know. I have already thought of a solution to this matter."

Sima Xie was overjoyed: "How to do it?"

"Changing the road," Sima Zhen seemed to have thought about the whole matter clearly: "We originally planned to take the uninhabited road all the way, try not to touch zombies, reduce casualties, until Jinlin City. But now there is not enough food, we just Can divert the route. The army diverts to the nearest Qingzhou. Then send warriors to transport all the grain from the Qingzhou granary."

"This..." Sima Xie couldn't help thinking: Isn't it a bit like there is not enough food, and then they went to rob the granary?Of course, the fifty states of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all controlled by their Sima family.Going to the granary to get food and robbing your own granary is not considered robbery.Sima Xie thought for a moment, and said, "What about the people of Qingzhou?"

It doesn't matter whether the government and army in Qingzhou have the ability to organize the people to form an army to move the capital to Jinlin City.In this Qingzhou city, there must be people left behind in the city.If they took all the food, those people left there would not only have to face a city of zombies, but also face the situation of no food...

Sima really closed his eyes tiredly.Under the reflection of the candlelight in the tent, a white silk satin uniform seemed to emit a faint white light, which also made his face a little pale.

Sima Zhen opened his mouth: "Please help the strong men of the earth level, clear out the empty areas without zombies, call the people to come out, and let the warriors of the middle rank go to the granaries to transport food. Anyone who can run to the warriors before they leave Qingzhou save the people from Qingzhou, join our team, and go to Jinlin City together.”

Warriors take food, and the common people can join the team of warriors in the process, so they are rescued.As for those who didn't rush to the ranks of these warriors within a certain period of time, then, just like those ordinary people who were stranded in the capital, they didn't care...

Sima Xie shook his head and sighed: "That's it! That's the only way to go! In a few days, I will discuss the specific matters with General Yan Buyao. This will be done in this matter. In the future, whenever there is no food, we will They all diverted to get food."

Sima Xie looked at Sima Zhen who had his eyes closed, and said again: "What about the other thing? Our 40 troops moved to Jinlin City, the [-] troops of General Wang Shenlang and the people brought by the army, and other prefectures Soldiers and civilians rushing to Jinlin City... No matter how big Jinlin City is, it won't be able to accommodate so many people. At that time, what should we do? We will tell the world to let everyone move to Jinlin City. Get them out!"

Sima really opened his eyes and didn't speak.After a long time, he said: "Jinlin City can't hold my people of Great Zhou, I know. We still have a few months, you let me think about it..."

Sima Xie was taken aback: It turns out that the eldest brother of the prince also has times when he can't think of a way.

At this time, a guard opened the tent and hurried in.The guard knelt on the ground, and his voice was full of panic: "His Royal Highness, Second Highness, Your Majesty is coughing up blood again! Your Majesty urgently summons His Highness the Crown Prince, Second Highness, General Yan Buyao and all officials above rank three!"

Sima Zhen and Sima Xie stood up suddenly, looked at each other, and immediately walked towards the emperor's tent.

Just as the doctor had evaluated the body of Emperor Sima Zhi, Sima Zhi's body could only rest and not be tired.

When Sima Zhi just left the capital, he could still ride a horse.After only two or three days of marching, Sima Zhi's complexion became worse and worse. Later, he could only sit in the carriage.

However, even sitting in the carriage and traveling day after day made Sima Zhi's health worse and worse, and he began to cough up blood.

Therefore, Prince Sima Zhen had to order the garrison to repair and let the army stay in the uninhabited mountain forest for a few days.

If Emperor Sima hadn't been seriously ill, Sima Zhen would never have ordered to stop the march so easily.You know, the consumption of a [-] army is so great. If you don't march for a day, your food will be less and less.The prey in the mountains and forests simply cannot make up for this food consumption.

The two of them walked up to the emperor's big tent, the general Yan Buyao and several ministers were already kneeling in front of the big tent.

Sima Zhen frowned, lowered his head and asked the doctor kneeling beside the tent, "How is Father?"

The doctor raised his head, his eyes were red, he shook his head, but did not speak.

What the doctor meant was that Emperor Sima Zhi was dying of illness and there was no cure for it!

Sima Zhen was shocked.

Sima Xie's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help crying: "Father——"

The chief eunuch rubbed his red eyes, opened the tent, walked up to Sima Zhen, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty calls you in."

Sima Zhen nodded and walked in slowly.

Emperor Sima Zhi was wearing bright yellow silk pajamas, lying on the bed with a snow-white complexion, turning his head to look at him.

Sima really walked quickly to the bed, knelt down, and softly called: "Father."

Sima Zhi couldn't get up anymore, he patted the edge of his bed: "Zhen'er, Zhen'er, sit here."

Sima Zhen smiled slightly, got up and sat on the side of the bed, and when he spoke again, there was a tremor in his voice: "Father Emperor."

Looking at Sima Zhen's face, Sima Zhi's face lost the dignity of the past, as if he was just an ordinary old father. He said: "Don't be sad, Zhen'er, your father can finally see your mother... It's just that I Ashamed of the late emperor, cough cough!"

"Tea!" Sima Zhen called out.Then, he took the warm water handed over by the eunuch, helped Sima Zhi to feed him a few mouthfuls.

After Sima Zhi lay down again, he said, "Everyone get down, I want to have a few words with the prince alone."

"Yes!" The voices of the maid and the eunuch sounded from inside the tent.

The maids and eunuchs came out silently, leaving only Prince Sima Zhen and Emperor Sima Zhi in the tent.
