"All kinds of materials are in short supply, and we have to extract some of them from them to support Li Xin from Yingzhou Prefecture."

Yuan Xiannian kept complaining, and Chen Shou said firmly: "No need to say much, the supplies, food and food needed by Yingzhou cannot be deducted."

Even if I stockpile less materials, I will be responsible for the millions of people in the Central Plains and cannot let the Mongols come in.

If you push a thousand years back and a thousand years back, you will not be more cruel and kill more people than the expansion of the Mongolians.

If they were allowed to enter the Central Plains, the Han people would be extremely disunity at this time and would likely be destroyed.

Seeing that his subordinates were all depressed, Chen Shouqiang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. There are no fears about the difficulties in front of you! When we take down Daming Mansion and open up the coast to Bianliang, we can buy supplies from Nantang."

"The Tang people and our Daqi have always been hostile. Will they sell them to us?" Liu Zhiying, Minister of Personnel, shook his head and said.

Although Chen Shou himself was also worried, his morale was now low and he could not pour cold water on it anymore. It all depends on the person he made the decision.

If I followed them and my morale was distracted, I would be not far from defeat.

Chen Shou smiled, his tone was soothing, as if he was confident, "The Tang people are pursuing profits. As long as the price is right, they can sell my wife and daughter to me."

After Chen Shou finished speaking, he laughed. Everyone gave him some face and echoed a few laughs, but it was very Xiao Shu.

Chen Shou clapped his palms and shouted: "I promise you that there will be a new channel for purchasing grain soon!"

In the water pavilion, a group of people saw Chen Shou’s ambitions and regained a lot of confidence, and said one by one to go to prepare for their respective tasks.

After everyone left, Chen Shou sighed and sat in a chair weakly.

A sound of footsteps came, and he quickly straightened his back, but after a moment, his concubine Yuan Xinyue pushed the door and entered.

Chen Shou lay down again. Seeing his appearance, Yuan Xinyue felt ache in her heart. She stepped forward and rubbed her shoulders and asked, "Master, why are you so haggard?"

"It's so difficult." Chen Shou sighed, and instantly felt the burden on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier.

"The more you are like this, the more you have to care about your body, otherwise you will not have the strength to do things."

Chen Shou laughed and said, "What you said makes sense. By the way, your Yuan family is in Hedong. Do you know how the Hedong family maintains such a huge family expense?"

"No one knows this. It is actually a forbidden thing to say, but it is also a well-known secret. It is just selling iron tools from the Central Plains to the grassland, in exchange for a large amount of gold, silver and horses, and then using these silver to buy grain from the Central Plains. Our Yuan family had done it before, but later this transaction was monopolized by the Jiang family, which had a more dominant terrain. Since then, the Jiang family has been able to order many families in Hedong to obey their orders."

Chen Shou nodded, almost the same as he thought. This is the place in Hedong. Through business and trade with the grassland, many places are richer than Jiangnan. It was a helpless move for the Yuan family to defect to themselves. They were a feud with the Jiang family in Longmenshan, and their wealth was cut off. If they did not find another way, they would be swallowed up by the Jiang family sooner or later.

However, it is not a solution to keep them like this. Hedong has raised fat sheep in the past hundred years. After taking over Daming Mansion, the next step is to conquer Hedong!

If he can defeat the local snake in Hedong, he will be blessed suddenly and the rich man will be in a blink of an eye.

If Daming Mansion is said to be the main reason for its good military and location, it is mouth-watering. Then Hedong is the temptation of the accumulation of wealth.

"The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite."

Chen Shou pulled back his thoughts from his longing, clapped his hands and picked up a file on the desk and said, "Prepare the food casually, I'll eat it in the water pavilion."

At this time, Yingzhou was already full of war, and the Mongols came quickly and urgently. The war broke out without warning like floods during the flood season.

Lingqiu is located in the southwest of Daqi and is not eye-catching in the political territory of the Central Plains. However, the outbreak of the Yingzhou Battle made Lingqiu the center of military transportation on the east line. A large number of materials transported from Bianliang were transported from the Ling River and transported by land to the warehouse in the south of Yingzhou City, and then sent by civilians to the front line Datong.

Due to the gathering of military funds and personnel, the market became more and more prosperous. There were no less than hundreds of grain-giving officials, escort officials and supervisors from all over the country, making this small town lively.

Li Xin even felt a little sad when she looked at the endless supply...

Life in the court was not easy, and it was beyond his expectations that Chen Shou could come up with this move.

In his opinion, Chen Shou, a man who is greedy for money and lust, is hard to be called loyalty and righteous.

These things are genuine supplies, and I don’t know how much it will cost to raise them.

The soldiers in Yingzhou also had more confidence in this fierce battle.

Li Xin looked at the armor of the soldiers around him and thought to himself that he had fought in the northwest for so long, and the only way to do the best logistics in this battle.

If Chen Shou could always do this, it might be a blessing for the country... Maybe he could be a famous minister of Zhongxing!

A few days ago, the imperial court ordered the taxes for Yingzhou Prefecture all year round, and called on all middle-aged men to join the army and join the war.

In the Yingzhou area, a man who was invaded by foreign races and had been holding back his anger for a long time finally waited for a tough and brave court.

More and more men were enlisted in the army, holding the baggage they had just arrived, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and transporting them to battlefields on all fronts.

Three days later, Li Xin came to Datong. This ancient city was the barrier of the entire Jin Dynasty and the gateway to the north, known as the key to the north.

It has been two days since the Mongols attacked Datong City. They launched several attacks, but all of them returned in vain.

Tonight, there were unprecedented numbers of people gathered, and Li Xin also rushed to the front line to supervise the battle and command the city.

The silent night became solemn in an instant, and the solemn atmosphere of war was approaching enveloped the four fields. Countless soldiers and horses gathered on the plains under the waning moon, and military flags appeared in their sight.

The last time he sieges the city, Hebule's youngest son Ti Chijin died in battle. The Mongolian Right Army was defeated by the Western Liang cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

I thought they would take three or four days at the earliest to rectify the defeated troops before they could continue to attack the city, but I didn't expect that they would continue to attack the city the next night.

This is the first time that Hebule led his troops south after unifying the Mongolian tribes. If he cannot win completely, his reputation will be greatly reduced.

Is the Khan now chosen by Changshengtian? All the kings of the Mongols are waiting to see the result of this battle.

For this reason, Hebule did not hesitate to reconcile with the Khitan and accepted the title of the Khitan Emperor.

After careful consideration, he thought that the Khitan and the Great Qi were both corrupt, but the Great Qi was worse than the Khitan, so he chose to go south instead of advancing east.

The majestic and arrogant Mongolian Khan hit the majestic city wall of Datong, and was bleeding.

Around Datong, there are dozens of auxiliary fortresses alone, supporting each other and harassing the enemy.

The Mongols attacked the north of Datong City, with the north gate being the first to be hit. The location was the most important and the defense was the most stringent. There were six fortresses alone. At this time, Li Xin led the direct battalion and were personally in charge, with all the soldiers of Xiliang under his command.

Deputy General Yang Ning's first battalion was assisted, and there were also 300 mercenaries and 1,000 civilians.

Li Xin did not just guard the city. He was condescending. Once he found a loophole in some place, the cavalry would break out of the fortress and harass the enemy's flanks, making it difficult for the Mongolians to defend themselves.

As a result, he had no choice but to divide his troops out and stare at the Qi army's cavalry. Li Xin had no worries and directly asked all the newly recruited recruits in Datong City to go to the city, leaving only one thousand civilians of 5,000, and the others kept carrying rolling stones day and night.

In the Mongolian formation, a big man rode on a horse, tall and stout, wearing thick leather armor, and said in a deep voice: "I have captured this city and let the men kill them happily for seven days, and kill all the southern barbarians."

A desolate horn sounded, and the fire shone like the daytime under the city of Datong, and the charge of the Mongolian Tatars began again.
Chapter completed!
