Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh food shortage
After all, Sang Nu's coffin was not recovered. Jiang Zhe became furious and punished the guards in the outer courtyard. Jiang Yue's better butt suffered again.
After being beaten this time, he couldn't get up again. The others were similar to him, their buttocks were about to burst.
Facing the master's anger, the maids and women in the outer courtyard also tightened their grip and walked quietly, for fear of offending the master.
Among them, only Sister-in-law Yang is more courageous. She takes care of the young man. Jiang Zhe comes to see her from time to time and occasionally asks her about the child.
I don’t know if this child is really lucky, but he actually got better after the full moon. Although he still looks sick and sick, his face has lost its green skin, and is white and tender with rosy, and the pink color is really cute.
Doctors came here to check my pulse several times and they all said it was a miracle.
All the toxins in his body were forced into the bones of his left leg. Although he might walk with a limp in the future, his life was saved. As long as he took good care of himself, he might be able to live a long time.
Jiang Zhe glanced at the swaddled baby sucking its fingers, and felt a strange warmth in his heart.
"Let's call this child Jiang Jiu."
Long lasting peace.
Jiang Zhe once had high hopes for him, and the Jiang family property also wanted to be given to him. This child was born in his expectation, but now he is destined to become a lame waste, and that expectation has turned into a waste.
"Why."
Sister-in-law Yang held the child and nodded repeatedly, "Jiang Jiu is good, Jiang Jiu is good, I will live longer in this deep house."
This child has lost his mother, and now his father has given up on him. Children from other families are treasures. During the full-moon wine party, a bunch of relatives and friends came to congratulate him, but little Jiang Jiu had nothing.
Seeing Jiang Zhe's leaving figure, Sister-in-law Yang hugged the baby tightly in her arms.
She will take good care of the child.
Aunt Zhao came to the outer courtyard several times but saw no one. Since that day, Jiang Zhe ignored her. Aunt Zhao originally wanted to take the child back to raise her, but who knew that she could not even see her.
"Crack!"
The cup on the table shattered on the ground, and Aunt Zhao slapped the table. She was so frightened that grandma hurried over to look at her hand.
"Oh, my master, what are you doing? You are a twin now. You cannot be startled. What should you do if you scare the little master?"
Aunt Zhao is very angry these days, her mood is unstable, and the maidservants and women serving her are frightened every day.
Aunt Zhao let her rub her hands, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Mommy, do you think my husband is doubting me?"
Otherwise, why would his attitude change so much? He was still very affectionate before going to the military camp, but now he doesn't even want to see her.
Auntie was afraid that she would think too much, so she quickly advised her.
"Didn't the general tell you to take good care of the baby? Sannu has just passed away, and the outer courtyard is noisy. The general feels uncomfortable. Moreover, since Sannu has a low status, you will inevitably be exposed to bad luck in the past, and it will not be good for the young master.
, why not stay in our courtyard and wait for the little master to be born, are you still afraid that the general won't come?"
She is the only mistress in Jiang Mansion's backyard, and she is still pregnant with her child. No one can shake this position.
To put it bluntly, so what if Jiang Zhe knew that Sang Nu was plotted by her master, would he be willing to hurt the child in his master's belly to avenge Sang Nu?
"Um."
Aunt Zhao gradually calmed down after being persuaded by her, "Go to the backyard and take a look at the white cat. I always feel uncomfortable when it is buried in my own yard. Now that the outer yard is quiet, I don't think he will check us again. You
Dig it up and throw it out."
"Hey, I'll go right now, old slave."
Jiang Zhe went to the military camp after coming out of Jiang Mansion. He rode a horse outside and felt the cold wind blowing all the way. The anger in his heart not only did not disappear, but also intensified.
The north wind roared in the military camp, and the tents were blown by the wind. The water outside the tents had frozen, the fire in the brazier was weak, and the wood was burned until only a few sawdust remained.
The soldiers were wearing heavy armor, their hair and eyelashes were covered with frost, their legs were so cold that they were shaking, and they held their hands together and rubbed them together to generate heat. When they saw Jiang Zhe approaching, they quickly stood up straight and saluted.
"General!"
"Yes." Jiang Zhe nodded, looked at the wood in the brazier, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Let me bring you some more firewood. If you get frostbite, you won't be able to walk when the enemy comes."
The weather is getting colder and colder. Jiang Zhe has been at the border for ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a cold winter.
The two guards looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
"General, we have no more wood..."
"Yes, General, there is a shortage of food and grass now. The food of the soldiers has been reduced by half these days. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for long."
Last time, those people in Xixia burned down a grain depot. They didn't have much food and grass to begin with, and now they are even more scarce. There is a shortage of clothing, medicine, and food in the military camp. It is getting colder and colder today, and all the soldiers are suffering from frostbite.
.
Something happened in the Jiang Mansion and Jiang Zhe was not in the military camp. Guo Zhao could only gather the sick soldiers into a tent and burn several braziers inside to let them keep each other warm.
The remaining food is also close to them, and there is no medicinal materials, so they can only rely on them to survive.
Jiang Zhe encountered this scene as soon as he came back, his cold face full of solemnity.
"Let Guo Zhao come to the general's camp."
"yes."
The shortage of food in the army is a big deal. Tuoba Mingge is watching the outside, and he will bite the big swallow when he finds the right opportunity. Without food and grass, the soldiers will not have enough to eat, and if they don't have enough food, they will not have the strength to fight. By then, they will become
Take the meat out of the enemy's mouth.
Jiang Zhe closed his eyes tightly. Even though he was proficient in fighting, he was at a loss this time.
"General."
Guo Zhao opened the door and came in. He had obviously lost a lot of weight these days while running around for his subordinates.
Jiang Zhe patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"This is what subordinates should do."
Guo Zhao did not take the credit. Now that the military camp was in an emergency, there was still too little he could do.
"Is there any news about the grain and grass supply in the capital?"
The soldiers couldn't wait. Tuoba Mingge had united with surrounding enemy countries to launch a sneak attack last time and would never let them off easily. Jiang Zhe was afraid that the longer the food shortage went on, the more critical the situation would become.
"The letter sent a few days ago is already on the way. I'm afraid it will arrive in the next few days."
"Well, be careful these days in case the Xixia people make a sneak attack."
The grain and grass were on the road, and the people who didn't want them brought in the most were the Xixia people. Jiang Zhe was afraid that the grain and grass would be lost, so he left the matter to Guo Zhao.
"Subordinates take orders."
There was a snowstorm outside, and a newcomer came to Huquan Temple.
Yuan Shao led a group of men up the mountain quietly. The mountain road was slippery and their horses were unwilling to go up.
Jiang Ru left Xiaotao behind and went to the back mountain again. Tuoba Mingge took a break from official duties and came specifically to see her.
