"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about..." Shen Jungao murmured, "You will only make Li Shizhong and our elder Chen go further and further away..."
"As for grain, if I remember correctly, Xiangzhou's grain was not transferred from outside last year, right?" Zhou Que also heard Shen Jungao's whisper and simply changed the subject.
No matter what Shen Jungao says, it is unlikely that Chen Xu will listen. On the contrary, if he talks too much, he may get into trouble. Although Dong Gong is not incapable of directly challenging Chen Xu, it is just that at this time, it is the conflict between Northern Zhou and Nan Chen.
When the war is about to break out, if there is a conflict between the Southern and Chen Dynasties at this time, then I am afraid that the happiest person will be the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Shen Jungao sighed secretly in his heart and nodded: "In order to prepare for the battle of Jingzhou, the food from Xiangzhou and other places was concentrated in Baling and was not transported to Huainan and other places as usual."
Most of the southern part of Jingzhou is mountainous, and only Xiangzhou, which is now Changsha, has enough plains for farming and grain storage. This is why the Southern Dynasties specifically removed Xiangzhou from the entire area in order to prevent Jingzhou's civil and military generals from becoming powerful.
The reason why it was drawn out in the Jingzhou system.
In the past, in the direction of Jingzhou, Nanchen, Xiliang and Northern Zhou had just simple confrontations. Neither side had enough soldiers and horses to fight, so there was not much need for food. Therefore, generally only a small part of Xiangzhou's food was supplied to Jingzhou, and the rest was supplied to Jingzhou.
All the cities were transferred north to Huainan.
As a result, because of the last war in Jingzhou, all the grain and grass were gathered in Baling to prepare to support Xiao Maha. Who would have thought that Xiao Maha would pacify Jingzhou in such a short period of time. Therefore, there is still a large amount of grain stored in Baling.
However, these grains are still nominally under the jurisdiction of Lu Guangda and are within the control of the East Palace. Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty has begun to mobilize troops to Shu, Jingzhou cannot fight here, so these grains can naturally be mobilized.
"The transfer of these grains still requires your Majesty's consent. After all, the quantity is too large." Shen Jungao frowned, "Gong Zhou, your literary talent is the best. You write the memorial, and we will go to meet His Majesty to request this!"
Zhou Que responded helplessly: "Writing memorials is easy, but..."
Both Shen Jungao and Fu Yi fell silent.
Yes, for a knowledgeable person like Zhou Que, the memorial is just a matter of a flash, and the key lies in whether His Majesty will agree to it.
"No matter what else, we have to give it a try!" Shen Jungao gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go directly to see His Majesty first. Let's go to Duke Xiaomu and Lord Pei. If we can't mobilize the troops, or even the food and grass, then we
What are the three guys doing here in Jiankang Mansion? Why don't they just pick them up and go to Bashu to fight the barbarians to the death!"
Shen Jungao was angry, and Zhou Que and Fu Yi also nodded solemnly.
They have been officials for half their lives, but they are not the kind of people who like to take advantage of people behind the scenes. Good men such as Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian are eating ice and snow on the front line and fighting bloody battles, but old guys like them can't help at all behind the scenes.
Can you still keep your old face?
After a hundred years, how can everyone have the dignity to meet those soldiers fighting in front of them?
"This is a national war. Even if His Majesty does not agree, we must persuade him!" Zhou Que's voice cut through the ice and snow, "No matter how bad Li Shizhong is, he cannot lose this battle, otherwise it will be ruined.
This is my foundation, Da Chen! After that, Da Chen wants to go one step further, no less than ascending to the sky. Let me go to find Duke Xiaomu, and you can go to Lord Pei, the official minister, or even Yuan Lord, the official minister.
, even if they are usually impartial, they still have to understand their priorities at this juncture."
Needless to say, Pei Ji, the official minister of the capital, has always been on the side of the East Palace. Yuan Xian, the official minister, is famous for his upright character. He has been appreciated by Chen Xu many times. If he can help open the door, Chen Xu will not be able to do it.
The wind blows.
After all, no matter what, Yuan Xian has not clearly stated that he is on the side of the East Palace, so Chen Xu must hold on to these centrist ministers more firmly.
Shen Jungao and Fu Yi looked at each other and responded.
As Zhou Que said, they are fighting a national war now. No matter what happens in the future, they cannot lose this war.
Even Chen Shubao, who was originally drowsy, suddenly stood up at this time: "What you all said is true. I will go to the palace now and contact my fourth brother and sister Lechang. They must also know the importance of this matter.
We will definitely help!”
Shen Jungao and others couldn't help but look happy on their faces. For the first time, they felt that the hard work they had put in for so long was not in vain. Chen Shubao could finally stand up and take responsibility. This was the king they wanted to serve.
Needless to say, Princess Lechang, the twists and turns between this girl and Li Xingchen can be clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Chen Shujian, the fourth son of Chen Xu, King of Changsha, has always had a good relationship with Chen Shubao, and he is also dissatisfied with Chen Shuling
, considered half a comrade-in-arms.
Chen Shujian and Chen Shuling had different abilities to manage their affairs outside the country early. In order to show that they were not interested in fighting for the throne, they did not go to the fiefdom of Changsha, Hunan, but stayed in Jiankang Mansion. However, at least in name, he was still the governor of Xiangzhou and controlled Hunan.
The state's soldiers and horses, so in fact, Baling's food and grass should be under Chen Shujian's jurisdiction.
In history, Chen Shuling intended to assassinate Chen Shubao at Chen Xu's funeral. It was Chen Shujian who arrived in time, blocked Chen Shuling's final fatal blow, and cooperated with Xiao Mohe to finally defeat Chen Shuling.
Although Chen Shujian has not yet had a chance to express his loyalty to Chen Shubao, his attitude of leaning towards the East Palace is enough for Chen Shubao to give him such a chance.
"You are still looking at what Gu is doing, go, go, go!" Chen Shubao suddenly realized that Shen Jungao and the others were still focusing on him, and immediately waved his hands dissatisfied, and walked out first, "Don't go out.
trouble!"
Shen Jungao and others were a little surprised, but then they excitedly raised their hands and said: "Yes!"
Chen Shubao was very proud of the respect given by Shen Jungao and others, and murmured: "With Lechang and his fourth brother, my father should not refuse..."
——————————————————-
"Yu Chijun, Wei Xiaokuan..." Chen Xu held the same military report that everyone in the East Palace saw. He read these two names in a low voice and sneered, "Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian really think highly of that person."
Shuzi!"
As he spoke, Chen Xu's eyes shifted to the map next to him.
He had seen this map countless times, and it could even be said that he knew it by heart. However, when he saw Bashu on the edge of the map, he still felt a sense of confusion and powerlessness in his heart.
It was a place he had never been to before, a place he couldn't control at all. And in the foreseeable future, a war would break out there, but this one might even be related to the final winner of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
, and he doesn’t have much to do with Chen Xu.
Perhaps his understanding of Li Xingchen and Ba Jun was not as good as that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
