I am the general

Chapter 91: Request to send troops to support

Wu Xianliang slept extremely unsteadily, and when she closed her eyes, she fell like falling off a cliff. The sky was dark red and gloomy, like blood that was about to freeze.

Wu Xianliang kept falling until she finally couldn't help but opened her eyes, already covered in cold sweat, such a strange scene made her unable to calm down.

It was still pitch black outside the window, and the darkness on the eve of dawn brought a terrifying silence, as if the world had been abandoned.

Wu Xianliang didn't know why she still couldn't sleep well after drinking. For more than two months, she had been relying on wine to fall asleep, and she had never been like this today.

Wu Xianliang just opened her eyes and let herself go, her heartbeat that was chaotic due to fear gradually calmed down, but she didn't feel sleepy.

It was not yet light outside the window, and suddenly the door of the room opened gently, Wenfeng poked her head in secretly, Wu Xianliang on the bed did not move, she thought that the young lady was not awake yet, so she wanted to leave.

"What time is it?" Wu Xianliang's voice was so hoarse that she could barely guess what she wanted to express.

Wenfeng was taken aback, only then did she realize that the young lady had woken up, she walked in on tiptoe, and said softly: "Miss, it's not time yet, why don't you take a rest?"

"Don't sleep anymore, get me some water to wash up." Wu Xianliang didn't want to continue lying down, as if lying down would gradually lose her own life.

Wenfeng fetched water, after Wu Xianliang washed his face, it was already light outside, Wu Xianliang let himself go by the window for a while, and when he came back to his senses, it was already dawn.

Wenfeng changed Wu Xianliang into court clothes, got into a sedan chair and went to the palace.

The atmosphere in the court today is also a little weird, those ministers who were still hanging out last night dare not talk in private today, the emperor hasn't come yet, but the court is already quiet.

Wu Xianliang even saw the uneasiness in the eyes of some extremely human ministers, Wu Xianliang knew it well, her own official position was still small, and she had never inquired about the relationship with the eunuchs in the palace, so naturally she was not as good as those ministers news-clever.

And they put on this appearance, which means that the situation on the battlefield is unfavorable, but they don't know whether they lost the battle in the west or in the south.

Wu Xianliang didn't dare to think about it, because failure often means death, and there are people closest to him on both sides. This kind of relatives and lovers are struggling for life and death, but he is still enjoying the melting, Wu Xian Liang felt uncomfortable as if being covered.

"The Emperor is here—"

The eunuch's voice sounded, and Jiang Xiangqu, who was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon suit, sat on the dragon chair with no expression on his face, accompanied by the sound of all the officials kneeling down.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Jiang Xiangqu didn't make a sound, just looked at his courtiers like this, obviously expressionless, but every courtier could feel the anger in his heart, and one or two wished that they could hide at this moment.

Jiang Xiangqu endured and endured, and then he restrained his words, and said, "The Southern War Report came back last night, I think you all know about it?"

It was Jiang Yinge from the south who had the accident, and Wu Xianliang's face paled instantly.

How can the courtiers dare to admit that they already know?Doesn't this prove that his news is not much slower than the emperor's?Immediately, he pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Is there a war in the south?"

Jiang Xiangqu snorted: "At this point, you're pretending to be deaf and dumb, aren't you? Don't you realize the danger until the soldiers approach the city?!"

Jiang Xiangqu slapped the dragon chair, causing all the officials to kneel down in fright: "The emperor calm down."

"Qingyue City in the south has been lost. This is already the third city that has been taken. General Jiang has already written to ask for support. Tell me, who will I send?"

Although Jiang Xiangqu was concerned about the loss of the south, he also cared about Jiang Yinge's safety. One hundred thousand troops were against 20 troops, which was twice as many troops!

At this time, no one spoke, and the generals who could be used went to the west and south respectively, and most of the rest were inexperienced or civil servants, so the court fell into a dead silence.

"General Xixiwu also wrote that he has no food and grass. You say, what should I do?" Jiang Xiangqu threw the question back instead.

The West is originally a relatively poor place, so food and grass has never been very sufficient. Once the war breaks out, there are basically refugees there, and tens of thousands of refugees starve to death every day, so food in the West has always been tight.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, who was at odds with the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, spoke at this time: "Report to the emperor, regarding the matter of food and grass, I think that I should send it to General Wu as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily cause a shortage of troops, and I am afraid it will be difficult."

The Secretary of the Household Department who is in charge of food and grass knew that if he didn't speak at this time, he would have to take the responsibility for the food and grass later, so he had no choice but to take a step forward and said respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, the food and grass of the [-] troops, I'm afraid I won't be able to gather for a while..."

Hubu Shangshu also knew that Jiang Xiangqu would definitely be unhappy after he said this, so he couldn't help but lower his voice, but remembered that he really couldn't bear it, so he continued: "Because of the drought two years ago, the shortage of food The harvest is only half of what it used to be, and with the war on both sides, the grain depot is almost empty..."

Jiang Xiangqu's face became obviously gloomy. He squinted his eyes and looked at Hubu Shangshu: "Are you telling me that we are going to run out of food?"

"This..." Hubu Shangshu didn't dare to speak.

Feng Taifu had no choice but to speak at this time, because the Minister of the Household Department was his disciple and belonged to his school: "The matter of grain and grass can't be delayed any longer. I think it can be collected from big households in the city. If it is not possible, you can buy it."

At this time, he could only do such a bad thing, Jiang Xiangqu stared at the Minister of the Household Department and said: "Leave this matter to Jia Aiqing, if I don't see 30 shi of grain, you can come to see me !"

The Minister of the Household Department had no choice but to say respectfully: "I obey the order."

"Then who will escort the food? Who will lead the troops to support General Jiang?" Jiang Xiangqu didn't seem to intend to express his own opinion, and waited to see if the group of people under him would become a dog-eat-dog mess.

Sure enough, the faction headed by Feng Taifu and the faction headed by Su Taigong quarreled about who sent troops and who escorted them, and their faces were red.

As for Wu Xianliang, who was closely related to the war on both sides, his body was tense at this moment, and his expression seemed to be in a daze.

Sure enough, the war is so cruel that I can't bear not to face it.

"Minister, please support General Jiang, please allow your majesty."

Wu Xianliang's female voice appeared in the hall, it seemed a little weird, but everyone knew who it was.

Wu Xianliang's face was solemn, but his face that was originally flying was calmer now, and his heroic spirit was vigorous. Jiang Xiangqu looked at this woman and remained silent.

In fact, Jiang Xiangqu thought of Jiang Yinge, who was also a woman, and their personalities were almost completely opposite, but both of them were so outstanding.

Yes, Jiang Xiangqu had to admit that Wu Xianliang was outstanding.

But at this time, another voice was heard: "My minister Yang Dan, please support General Jiang, please allow your majesty."

Wu Xianliang tilted his head slightly, and sure enough, he saw Yang Dan standing up. Yang Dan was approaching his thirties, his face was very tough, he was calm and not arrogant, and he seemed to have all the basic qualities of a general.

The ones who stood up turned out to be the two top leaders who participated in the military test this year. This made some of the top leaders who had not been generals in the past feel guilty, but no one stood up.

When Wu Xianliang stepped forward, Jiang Yuliu's face was completely gloomy, obviously he strongly disapproved of her behavior.

"Minister, please support General Jiang, please allow your majesty." Jiang Yuliu also stood up and gave Wu Xianliang a look. Obviously, in order to prevent Wu Xianliang from going to the battlefield, Jiang Yuliu simply took the responsibility for himself. down.

Wu Xianliang was quite annoyed in his heart, Yang Dan's official position was lower than his own, and he was not the number one scholar, so Yu Fa was not allowed to ask for an order to lead the army, so Wu Xianliang was quite sure about snatching Yang Dan, but Jiang Yuliu said, But Wu Xianliang was not sure.

Because Jiang Yuliu had led soldiers before, he was more experienced than Wu Xianliang.

"Your Majesty, King Xuan has a noble status. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to the battlefield in person. I beg your Majesty's permission. I will live up to your Majesty's expectations!" Wu Xianliang had to express his attitude firmly, and stared at him firmly. Jiang Yuliu, if Jiang Yuliu dared to fight with him, Wu Xianliang might have the intention of killing Jiang Yuliu.

Jiang Xiangqu had always been skeptical about the relationship between Wu Xianliang and Jiang Yinge, and now seeing Wu Xianliang like this, he was even more puzzled.

Facing Wu Xianliang's angry gaze, Jiang Yuliu's heart trembled. He knew Wu Xianliang's breakup, and if he insisted on stopping her, she might hate him for the rest of his life.

But so what?Compared to her going to the battlefield, Jiang Yuliu would rather she hate herself for the rest of her life!

"The minister is a member of Yewei, and the Jiangshan minister who guards Yewei is willing to do anything. You are a woman, you should take good care of your husband and raise your children. What battlefield are you going to?!"

Although Jiang Yuliu's words were harsh, most of the people present nodded their heads slightly, obviously deeply rooted in their belief that women should be husbands and children, not wielding knives and guns.

But Jiang Xiangqu didn't like to hear these words, because his most beloved sister was the woman who wielded knives and guns, so Jiang Xiangqu frowned slightly.

Wu Xianliang's anger surged, but she held back her tenaciously. She knelt down suddenly, made a big salute, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, in this time of crisis, it is the duty of every man to protect the country. She is just a woman, but she also wants to do her part for Ye Wei, I beseech Your Majesty's permission, I will definitely drive out the thieves who dare to invade our country!"

"minister……"

"That's enough, we'll discuss this matter later." Jiang Xiangqu glanced at Wu Xianliang, and Wu Xianliang's gentle face showed a resolute expression, obviously very persistent, and he lowered his eyes.

Although the matter of escorting food and grass is important, it is escorted in the territory of Yewei after all. Naturally, the danger is much less than going to the south for support, but they rushed to go to the south for support. Jiang Xiangqu didn't believe that they were all people who were not afraid of death. .

So why they rushed to go became Jiang Xiangqu's attention, or in other words, why Wu Xianliang rushed to go.

This matter was suppressed, and Wu Xianliang didn't care to listen to what happened afterwards. She stared at Jiang Yuliu's back, and Jiang Yuliu could obviously feel Wu Xianliang's undisguised hatred.

It wasn't until after he retired that Jiang Yuliu walked away meeting Wu Xianliang's gaze. Wu Xianliang clenched his fists, but heard a father-in-law approaching: "Master Wu, the Holy Majesty has summoned you."
