Chapter 2748 Connect to the Twelve Cities

The emperor was already preparing to open the camp. Hearing the news of Nusa's death, he sighed slightly and waved, "Bury the Mo family."

After that, Gu Zhong picked some porcelain and jade to send to the Mo family.

Gold and silver wares can be cashed out directly, and even if they are not as valuable as porcelain and jade, the emperor does not want to give them away.

Man Bao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will retire first."

The emperor waved his hand, and when she turned around, he stopped her again, "It's hard to march in the snow, so maybe your medical bills insist?"

Man Bao said: "Since you have entered the army, you are a member of the army. Your Majesty doesn't need to treat us differently."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and smiled: "You Qing waits for this sentence, I will feel at ease, even Xueluo, I can continue the eastward expedition."

Yin Li strode forward, and after waiting for the report, he opened the curtain and came in. He bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the fifth batch of food and grass has been delivered."

The emperor's eyes brightened slightly, and after calculating the time, he said, "This time, they are acquainted with each other, have you checked them all?"

Yin Li said: "I have checked it all, and there are no major problems." Small problems are unavoidable.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, now that he even had enough food and grass, and it was a pity not to take Goguryeo at this time and place.

He laughed cheerfully and said, "Okay, I ordered to go down and pull out the camp tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

With Gao Zhi as the vanguard, the Jin army marched forward, and soon gathered in the domestic city.

Because Gao Zhi, Zhao Guogong, and Ashina cleared obstacles along the road, the main tent only had to go all the way east, and even the snow did not slow down their speed much, and the group quickly caught up.

When Gao Zhi arrived at the last small city in front of the inner city, the main tent was not far from them, only about 80 miles away, and they could reach it in a day.

And this city has become the stronghold of Feng Shangshu. Because he didn't know about Gao Zhi's surrender, he thought it was a reinforcement of Goguryeo and was planning to defend the city gate. As a result, he crouched on the city wall and looked at the flag. The more he looked, the more he looked like them. The banner of Jin, he seems to have read the big Jin character right?

And Gao Zhi didn't know that the city was occupied by the Jin army, and was planning to send someone to convince the city owner. As a result, the two sides were facing each other. He also felt that the flag on the opposite wall was not very similar to their Goguryeo. .

The two sides stared at each other, but Feng Shangshu didn't believe them and kept them out of the city until the leaders of Zhao Guogong and Ashina arrived, and then he let them in.

As Gao Zhi walked in, he thought, if Ashina pulled the city gate, if their city gate officer had such rules, the city of Anshi would not be broken.

When the emperor arrived in this small town and saw Feng Shangshu, he could hardly recognize him.

Not only has the person lost a lot of weight, the beard is messy, and even the clothes are almost smelly.

As soon as he saw the emperor, Feng Shangshu stepped forward and saluted excitedly, "Your Majesty, this minister finally sees you."

He had planned to stay for a few days after the snow fell, and then he would withdraw from the sea without any news of the army.

He went deep alone and slept with his eyes open.

When I saw the emperor at this moment, I felt relieved when I was excited, and then I wanted to cry.

The emperor was most distressed. He carefully looked at Feng Shangshu and the generals behind him. He was so distressed that he took their hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Their monarchs and ministers were in tears here, and not far from the side, Imperial Physician Zheng was also crying with Imperial Physician Lu. In fact, he wanted to drag Zhou Man. After all, she was the chief official, but there was a difference between men and women.

So he could only cry in front of Zhou Man, pulling Imperial Physician Lu. It was really hard for him this time.

Man Bao saw that he was all thin and out of shape, and that the students behind him had also changed greatly. He felt distressed for a while, and quickly asked: "Why are you doing this? Did Feng Shangshu deduct your military rations?"

"Then there must be a military ration deduction." Zheng Taiyi wiped his tears and said: "We are not like your side, we are traveling by sea, and we are alone. Except for the supply of food and grass at the beginning, there will be no more food and grass after that. Can't get in."

Man Bao nodded to show his understanding. After all, they had few people with them, and it was difficult to keep the path along the way. The food and grass sent in were basically to help the enemy, so it was better not to send it.

"So we can only raise military supplies ourselves." Zheng Taiyi cried: "It was not bad in the beginning, Feng Shangshu attacked the city very well, and he went to many cities along the way. Every time he conquered a city, he collected food from the warehouse in the city, and then some more. The wealthy people walk around and sit down at the house, and the rations will be available."

"But twenty-five days ago, Goguryeo started to be ruthless. Every time we captured a city, they would rather burn all the houses in the city and not give it to us before they retreated."

The next few cities were severely damaged, but except for the one at the city gate, which they beat, the rest were the troops of Goguryeo, who were extremely ruthless.

Before Feng Shangshu, in order not to let the Goguryeo people cut their own way, he has always been friendly to ordinary people, and has always restricted the army not to disturb the people.

They can gather food and grass without disturbing the people, so their relationship is not bad.

But after the Goguryeo people behave like this, it will be difficult for them to maintain a good relationship with ordinary Goguryeo people.

Between Goguryeo and his own soldiers, Feng Liang chose his own soldiers without blinking, so he directly asked people to collect food and grass, and they robbed them if they could not collect them.

However, the inner city is strong, and most of the remaining soldiers and horses of Goguryeo are in the inner city. Of course, Feng Liang alone cannot defeat them.

So he could only turn around and grab this small town as a stronghold.

It’s just that it’s difficult. The city is so big. When the officials evacuated before, they took away what they could take away, and set fire to those who couldn’t take it away. Not even a few Goguryeo people were left in the city.

They can only collect food and grass, occasionally go to nearby villages and towns to grab a wave, while besieging the inner city.

Because of the shortage of food, everyone eats two meals a day, and each meal is still thin, but the amount of exercise is large, and if you come and go, everyone will lose weight?

Both Man Bao and Imperial Physician Lu looked at him sympathetically, especially Imperial Physician Lu, Zhou Man still needed to go to the battlefield, and he was the one who stayed by the emperor's side most of the time, and was the most relaxed of the three.

Imperial Physician Zheng suffered the most.

Man Bao comforted Imperial Doctor Zheng and promised, "I'll treat you to steamed buns tonight."

Imperial Physician Zheng cried for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is it true?"

Man Bao nodded.

Seeing that the students behind Imperial Physician Zheng were also swallowing, they said, "Come together."

They nodded immediately, almost knocking their heads off.

The arrival of the army gave Feng Shangshu enough food and grass along the way. As soon as the two armies converged, they began to cook rice. The aroma of food wafted everywhere in and out of the small town. look around.

When Feng Shangshu saw it, he said: "Your Majesty, these people who are left behind are poor people who cannot escape. The ministers scavenged some food and grass from them before, and now it is snowing. If there is no food relief, they may not survive this spring. ."

See you at 6 pm
