"Why is my dad here?"

Zhao Cuo was startled when he heard the announcement outside the palace.

Duke Zheng Guo doesn't have time to see him at this time, does he?

The strategy of father and son was in tandem. There were many people affected by the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had to provide money and food for the army. They were in dire straits. Zhao Gan must have had something big happen when he got here.

"It's time for Liangjiang to be exhausted."

The Queen said in an understatement.

The young master looked back at her subconsciously.

The graceful beauty, who was still lying on her side on the soft couch, seemed not surprised by the visitor.

"Does Sister Lan know what happened to Jiangnan? Let me wash up and go see my father first. I can't keep him waiting for too long."

Zhao Ze wanted to hear what she meant.

"Go ahead."

The Queen Mother gently pinched the side of his face.

"You don't have to cover up my whereabouts. I will show up later as appropriate. This battle has reached a critical moment."

She kissed him on the forehead like she was coaxing a child.

"Who will take care of you when I leave?"

Zhao Cuo blinked his eyes.

He knows the devil's temperament better than he knows himself.

This bad woman is also used to being pampered, and she has always put her clothes on and stretched out her hands, and he is also obedient to this.

"Feiwu is here too. He's in the palace. I just didn't come to see you last night."

The Queen raised her lotus feet hidden under her silk stockings and stepped on his shoulders.

"You go and see your father."

"Um."

The young father-in-law lowered his head and touched her little feet with his face.

He didn't waste any time. He first invited Zhao Gan to the side hall, cleaned himself up and went to see the person.

After only a few days apart, Zheng Guogong's spirit became sluggish, his eyes were full of fatigue, and he was obviously overworked, but when he saw Zhao Thief, he smiled.

"No blame, you fought well in this battle. The entire Liangjiang area was the first to receive the news and was excited. No one can doubt your reputation."

"It all depends on the service of the soldiers."

Zhao Cuo said softly.

He also felt heart palpitated when he saw his father's tired look.

But there was nothing he could do. As Jiangnan was the front line, it was up to the father and son to take care of everything.

"Father, you came to Huainan early in the morning, but what happened to Liangjiang?"

The young man helped him sit down.

"I shouldn't have disturbed the army with this matter."

Zhao Gan exhaled, closed his eyes tiredly, and said in a deep voice:

"This rain has caused flooding in the Bajiang River. The two most affected counties are already covered in water. I don't dare to delay at all in opening warehouses to release grain..."

"Are you saying that Jiangnan and Jiangbei are running out of money and food?"

Zhao Thief looked solemn.

The war is fought over financial resources.

If an army is deprived of rear supplies, it will not only win the battle, but also maintain strict military discipline if it does not mutiny.

"Liangjiang is so rich that even an army of 200,000 can be fed for several months, but the amount of food needed for disaster relief is huge!"

Zheng Guogong frowned, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but now the military supply must not be cut off.

"If you take care of both sides... how long can the food and grass last?"

Zhao Cuo asked after a pause.

"A month and a half."

Zhao Gan said word by word.

General Zhao is quiet. This battle will continue until winter begins in October, nearly three months.

Food and grass cannot be stopped. If the army has no food to eat, he will have to wipe his own neck. This is not a joke. The reason why a soldier joins the army is because his stomach is safe.

"Also, this heavy rain has flooded a lot of crops, and the harvest in two months is not going to be good."

He broke another piece of bad news.

"Can't we get food from the neighboring government?"

Zhao Cuo asked.

"I have already gone to Guangping Prefecture to seal the letter, but the local governor also complained to me, and the most he can give us is only enough money and food for half a month."

Zheng Guogong shook his head. He not only ordered people from neighboring prefectures, but also the distant Yannan Prefecture to summon people, but now the imperial court not only had to support the Southern Army, but also the even larger Northern Army.

He closed his eyes hard without waiting for the young master's reply.

The front line is the most important.

"Now I can only reduce the relief food first!"

Zhao Thief also frowned and remained silent for a moment. He knew that as soon as his father said these words, he was going to sentence many people affected by the disaster to death.

Reducing the amount of food provided for disaster relief will definitely starve people to death. The most frightening thing is that the crops of these victims have been flooded!

The court has no food, they have no harvest in the autumn, and no one is alive in the winter.

"You've grown up here just because you can't bear to see people starving to death, right?"

Zhao Cuo sighed.

If his father was really cruel, he wouldn't come to see him.

I will go to Huainan to discuss with him now, just to find a final turning point, but can he still produce food?

"If you rob the enemy's granary, you will be able to solve the dilemma. It's coming soon, how about you make Emperor Yongzhao suffer again?"

"The Queen Mother, Luan Jia, has arrived in Huainan."

The young man paused and said.

It was only after Empress Dowager Zhao said that there was no need to hide her heart.

If nothing else goes wrong, she will definitely show up to boost the morale of the army, so there is nothing wrong with revealing his grandfather to An'er first.

"This...why don't you take me to see the Supreme One first?"

Zhao Gan immediately stood up in shock.

He really didn't know that the Demon Queen had already arrived at the front line.

But this is a good thing. Why does the deposed emperor go on a personal expedition? It's not just about military morale, the prestige of the female devil has already spread throughout the world. This appearance will definitely inspire the soldiers.

"What she means is that she will summon the officials together later. Let's wait for the decree. For now, we should invite the generals to discuss military rations."

Zhao Ze gently helped his father sit down again.

"Don't be impatient."

He said softly.

"There will always be a way. The situation is very good now and there is plenty of room for flexibility."

After Zhao Cuo appeased his father, he sent an order to summon the general in charge of the Southern Army. He had established his position after yesterday's battle.

In today's army, he really means what he says, and the Confederate generals have been waiting for him to discuss matters since early in the morning.

After a while, the side hall was filled with eight or nine people, most of whom were in good spirits.

"This is all because I was so proud of yesterday's big win."

The young father-in-law sighed in his heart.

But he also felt that this was not entirely a bad thing.

Confidence is good, but you should not be arrogant. This will also pour a basin of cold water on them.

"The general will pay homage to the general and the governor."

They saluted in unison.

Zhao Gan still got strange looks at this point.

If a person who is commanding the rear of the army comes to the front, doesn't it mean something is going on behind the scenes? This is going to be a bad thing.

"Generals, most of you are from Liangjiang, right? Most of the soldiers are from the south of Bajiang. The deposed emperor called for a heavy rain, which flooded several counties."

Zhao Thief did not get straight to the point, but laid the groundwork. After all, the opinions of the generals were also important.

"Now the people affected by the disaster have lost their harvests and are homeless. In the future, they may not even have something to eat."

He sighed and shook his head.
