The phoenix pattern is surging

Li Zixin was startled, and looked over in disbelief.

Li Ran kept his eyes still, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Only in this way can he save his life."

How could Li Zixin not understand this truth, he hesitated and nodded, and finally shouted sharply: "Two hundred!"

As soon as the military order was issued, the soldiers who were executing the sentence did not dare to delay any longer. They beat with one stick after another. After a muffled crackling sound, the man with strong bones was dragged down, and he was already unconscious at that time.

After Jiang Jue woke up, he saw that there was no one in the tent, so he sent Ding Shun to ask. The boy was confused for a moment, but he finally told the truth. Ding Shun naturally didn't dare to persuade him to go, but followed step by step, with a look of sincerity and fear on his face.

As soon as he walked to the door of the tent, he bumped into someone unexpectedly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"In such a hurry? Where are you rushing to?"

Li Ran asked lightly, Jiang Jue frowned slightly, and said, "I heard about that."

"He has already been punished with a total of two hundred sticks, and now he is still unconscious. It is estimated that he will not be able to move for two or three days."

He told the truth, Jiang Jue was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply, and said: "I know you can't bear it."

Li Ran curled his lips, and said lightly: "He is a talent."

When he said this, Jiang Jue actually nodded, as if he had no intention of pursuing it at all. He just reached out and shook his slightly cold arm with concern, and said in a low voice, "Remember to eat before going out next time."

After finishing speaking, he raised his finger to signal Ding Shun to prepare meals, Li Ran replied with a long-winded sentence, and went to the inner room to change clothes.

After a while, Ding Shun walked in quickly with small steps holding the food box, then knelt down at his feet, held the bowl up with both hands, and smiled apologetically, "I stewed this blood oat porridge after getting up in the morning. Your Highness will try it while it's hot." Bar."

Jiang Jue reached out to take the bowl of bloody swallow porridge, stirred it with a spoon, and praised him as "quite smart". When the boy heard it, he immediately kowtowed to the end, thanking him again and again.

Li Ran frowned slightly, reached out and patted the boy's head to signal him to get up, then took the spoon from Jiang Jue's hand and tasted it, he seemed to think it was good, one spoon after another, Jiang Jue saw that he liked it, and only saw it in his eyes. She smiled, and said softly: "Breakfast is especially important, if you go out on an empty stomach, in case someone accidentally gets hurt--"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stuffed with something slippery, and the man yelled impatiently: "What are you talking about! Eat yours!"

Jiang Jue laughed hoarsely, and said teasingly, "Is this because you feel sorry for your husband?"

"To shut up!"

After a low drink, a spoonful of "something to make up for the body" was stuffed into his mouth again. Jiang Jue was not annoyed, and happily swallowed the other party's "good intentions", and stretched out his hand to flick his sleeve again, with a strong smile in his eyes .

The two of them were so "deeply affectionate", Ding Shun occasionally glanced outside the tent door, and subconsciously sighed softly, thinking that that one really has a plan.

After dinner, Li Ran went to visit Yan Wenbin. When he got there, he saw that he was still unconscious and the military doctor was treating his wounds. Lin Zan and Shen Ze were waiting beside him. He waved his hand and signaled them to go out and talk.

When the three of them arrived in Shen Ze's tent, Li Ran asked the whole story, only to realize that Yan Wenbin was wronged by the [-] sticks, but he left the camp rashly without a commanding order. This was indeed his fault, and no one could plead for mercy.

Li Ran frowned and said nothing, Lin Zan stared at him for a moment, then said with a smile: "The commander's painstaking subordinates understand that if it weren't for the two hundred sticks today, General Yan's head would have fallen to the ground by now."

"What?" Shen Ze yelled strangely, apparently quite frightened, after all, it was a major event of beheading, although he knew it in his heart, but hearing it with his own ears was another matter.

Lin Zan couldn't help but laugh, but Li Ran cleared his throat and said, "This time, let's teach him a lesson, and I will remember better in the future, let's talk about Xiang Hua first."

His expression was solemn, Lin Zan subconsciously restrained himself, frowned and said, "This matter is really difficult, otherwise General Yan would not have to risk his life to rush to intercept the food overnight."

"Exactly, Xiang Qi saw that disasters and chaos in Linyang were inevitable, so he planned to escape, so he secretly sent people to transport food, grass, gold and silver out of the city. This is a great opportunity to break the military order, but it almost brings about the disaster of killing people."

Shen Ze looked aggrieved, Li Ran pondered for a moment, and said: "I understand this, his intention is very good, but the method of cutting off food is not a long-term solution."

The two of them nodded in agreement when they heard what he said.

After a while, their handsome commander said bitterly: "But if this matter is not resolved, this battle will be unsettled. It's like a time bomb! Shit! It's so fucking boring!"

He uttered a swear word in a blunt manner, and the two of them lowered their heads in embarrassment, but Shen Ze was about to ask what the time bomb was, when Lin Zan coughed lightly and said seriously: "It's up to now." However, resettlement of refugees is the top priority! However, there are a large number of people in Xianghua County, and the daily food and clothing expenses of millions of people is not a small amount, let alone a long-term matter. This place is now in ruins, and it will take time to rebuild it. The supply here is bound to be short of food and grass this year, and if the soldiers know about it, there will be no peace."

Li Ran nodded, pointed to a place on the map, and asked, "Can you let Liuguo help you?"

Lin Zan shook his head, took the map and spread it on the table, saying, "Most half of the country is covered with mountains. It is a blessing to be self-sufficient. There is really no spare capacity to provide food for a county's million people to survive the winter."

"Isn't there still Bei Ye?"

"Beiye is short of water all the year round, and food is not sufficient. Before Nanliu surrendered, we had to buy food and grass from other countries every year to survive the winter."

"Lack of water all year round?"

"Exactly, for example, in this area and this area, there are occasional rains in spring and summer, but it is rare to have one in autumn and winter, and it is extremely hot on weekdays, which is not suitable for growing food. It is a sparsely populated and barren place. Other counties can’t tolerate so many refugees.”

Shen Ze said solemnly, and Li Ran stared at the large loess highland he pointed to with his hands folded in thought for a long time, and finally frowned and asked, "Is the temperature in this place high?"

"temperature?"

"Just... how hot is it?"

Shen Ze nodded with comprehension, and said that the day is hot and the night is cold, Li Ran asked again: "What about the altitude?"

"altitude?"

The pedantic young general subconsciously asked another question, and then patted his head with a smirk. The person who was picked wrong was not embarrassed, but he was a little embarrassed.

Li Ran sighed, pointed at the barren land, and said, "Is this piece of land high?"

Lin Zan nodded knowingly, and said, "This place is indeed a highland, so it is short of water all year round. In fact, if there is no war, it is feasible to buy grain from neighboring countries. Now that there is a war, all countries must try their best to stop it."

Li Ran pondered for a moment, and said: "It's only for a short period of time, after all, we have to rely on ourselves." After thinking for a while, he said, "Since there is no one here, it would be good to bring over a million people here."

After Fang finished speaking, Shen Ze shook his head and said, "But this is a barren land, even wild animals are not seen, how can people live?"

Li Ran laughed, and patted him on the shoulder, saying that there will always be a way, and walked out of the tent.

The two people in the tent were left behind, looking at each other in dismay, wondering whether the medicine sold in their commander-in-chief's gourd was real medicine or fake medicine?

When Li Ran returned to the tent, he saw Jiang Jue staring at the map on the case and thinking deeply, he stretched out his foot and hooked a chair and sat down opposite him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you figured out a solution?"

Jiang Jue raised his eyes to look at him, and seeing the light in the other's eyes, he thought to himself that he must have made up his mind, so he leaned back on the back of the chair with his arms folded, and looked over with a smile. Li Ran saw that he didn't want to ask more questions, so he chose Raising his eyebrows, he tapped somewhere on the map with his fingers, and said, "How is this place?"

Jiang Jue followed his gaze, frowned subconsciously, and said, "This place lacks water all the year round, so it's not a place to live forever."

Li Ran curled his lips and said, "It's not impossible to solve the water shortage, but it's a pity that Shi Jie's genius is not here."

Jiang Jue laughed, and said: "Although he is not here, there is no lack of talents in the army."

After finishing speaking, he called Ding Shun in a deep voice, and ordered one or two. Ding Shun complied and went to do it immediately.

After a while, the kid led someone in. He was an old man in his fifties, a little short in stature, but very shrewd in expression.

Li Ran went over to talk to him with a pen and paper map, drawing while talking, while the old man was listening, frowning or nodding, with a very funny look on his face.

In this way, they didn't realize that noon had come, and the two of them had no intention of stopping, so Jiang Jue coughed lightly and said, "We'll stop here, we'll talk after dinner."

Li Ran didn't answer, he still stared at the drawing in hand without saying a word, Jiang Jue rubbed his brows secretly, glanced at the old man, and said, "Come here at three quarters in the afternoon."

The old man complied, bowed and left. He was still chanting words when he left, his expression could not hide his excitement, and he arrived as scheduled at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The two murmured and planned, and Jiang Jue could hear some clues, but seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, it was inconvenient for him to intervene.

After discussing for another two hours, when the old man left, Li Ran breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and was about to reach out to pour tea, when Jiang Jue handed over a bowl of soup thoughtfully, he took it with a smile, drank a few After drinking, he shook his head and said, "This old man is a bit interesting, and he can draw inferences from one instance to another."

Seeing him happy, Jiang Jue was also happy in his heart, stretched his arms around his waist from behind, put his chin on the other's shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's my big farmer, but you called him an old man, you... ..."

With this sigh of helplessness and connivance, Li Ran raised his eyebrows and remained silent. After a while, he realized something was wrong, shrugged his shoulders, and said sinisterly, "How long are you going to lie down?"

Jiang Jue chuckled, and asked in a puzzled manner, "What is that plastic film? What's the use of the pipe?"

After asking this question, he even rubbed the back of his neck with the tip of his nose. Li Ran's forehead turned blue, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

He had a bad look on his face, but the person behind him was still clinging like a mischievous one, and even stretched out a hand to rub his lower abdomen, trying to comfort him: "Mo Qi, Mo Qi, the emperor should have heard."

The two of them were making a fuss, but there was a chuckle coming from the door of the tent, and a moment later, a person lifted the curtain and came in. Coincidentally, it was Jiang Ming's naughty monkey, followed by Ding Shun with a frightened expression.

Seeing the situation between the two of them, the monkey cub smiled knowingly, and joked: "Hehe, it seems that the younger brother came at a bad time, and disturbed the emperor's good spirits."

He looked perverted and ambiguous, Li Ran rubbed his brows and eyes in embarrassment, waved the man behind him away, coughed heavily, and said, "What's the matter?"

Originally he just asked inadvertently, but when he saw the monkey boy's expression turned back, the thief smiled secretly, and said in a low voice: "Just now my master came back with some news, saying that Xiang Qi has escaped from Linyang and is now on his way to Shiyan."

Li Ran's eyes lit up, and Jiang Jue asked in a deep voice, "Is the news true?"

Monkey Cub nodded resolutely, and said, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, since it's the master's news, there will be nothing wrong with it."

After he finished speaking, he saw a glint in Jiang Jue's eyes, and then he slammed his palm on the case, and said in a deep voice, "It's his day that I've been waiting for!"

Li Ran was silent for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Then it's not too late."

Jiang Jue nodded approvingly, with ambition in his eyes.

Plan before moving, step by step, he deserves to have the last laugh!
