There is actually no problem with the Sichuan Army asking for food and grass. The root of this matter is Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu was born in a miserable life and had never studied economics. He could only consider it according to typical agricultural thinking. For example, wherever the army goes, there will be local governments providing food and grass and other materials.

However, when Lao Zhu was there, he knew that the war was consuming a lot of materials and could not support it alone, and he needed to raise supplies from different places. But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation became completely different. The court was now unable to take care of itself, so he still had the energy to take care of these trivial matters? So he threw everything to the place, buried his head underground, and it would not exist if it could not be seen.

The food, supplies and supplies are all prepared by the local government. If there is no money or food in the local government, the passing army will have to go hungry.

Otherwise, why did the rebel army become stronger and stronger? In essence, these soldiers who were serving the king came to the capital and found that they could not even afford to eat. They were at risk of starvation to death, so they could continue to fight for the court? So in order to survive, most of them mutiny, killed officers, and joined the rebel army station, which led to the rebel army's more and more suppression, which made it difficult to control.

"Suppressing bandits and protecting the city is the foundation of you and the martial artists, how can you say it..." Ni Yuangong couldn't help but get angry again, but this time he was stopped by Xu Shirou.

"Mr. Ni, don't be impatient," Xu Shirou said, then turned to the little man, his eyes as if he was facing a great enemy.

"We can give you food, weapons, and even armor, but there is a condition that you must help defend Nanyang and even help us to wipe out the thief army outside the city. It is easy to say, and there is as much food and grass as possible, otherwise, everything will be free from discussions." Xu Shirou's tone was plain, as if she was talking about something that was rightful.

The young man was a little hesitant. The order he received was to try his best to get the army to enter the city to repair it. After all, there were "thieves" outside the city, so he would enter the city, making it safer with the tall city walls in Nanyang.

However, according to the past practice, it was difficult for them to enter the city, so Deng Yan did not force it, but only asked him to settle for the second best if he fought to enter the city but could not get it. He could also ask for some food, supplies and supplies.

In this situation, the task of asking for food and grass has been solved, but these food and grass have attached clauses, just like selling the Sichuan Army to Nanyang for sale. This is not within his authorization. He needs to go back and report it to Deng Yan, and Deng Yan himself decides.

Xu Shirou saw his hesitation and knew that such a big thing was not something that he, a little messenger, could decide. He immediately ordered outside the hall: "Come,"

The old servant comes in, "Master."

"Prepare a table of wine and food for him, take him to eat and drink, and then take him out of the city." Xu Shirou ordered.

"yes."

"Sir, Xie." The young man immediately said thanking and left.

Late at night Yuan's house.

Zhao Jingshi stood at the door of the back house and asked the butler of the Yuan family with a smile, "Butler Yuan, I wonder if Uncle Shi has ever returned?"

The housekeeper dared not disrespect to the distant relatives of the master. Of course, his attitude was naturally much worse than yesterday. He smiled and said, "Master Cousin, please take care of him more. My master met with his friends today. He was happy and drank two more drinks. He was already lying down at this time. I would like to ask Mr. Zhao to have something to do, let me talk about it tomorrow!"

Zhao Jingshi's heart sank. The thing he was most worried about happened. At this time yesterday, Yuan Kai was panicked and made a special trip to his room to discuss major events with him. But today, he came over specially, but he didn't even see Yuan Kai's face. It seemed that Yuan Kai's heart was shaken again, and he was no longer as frightened as yesterday.

Zhao Jingshi naturally knew the reason, it was nothing more than today's reinforcements from the officers and soldiers. Yuan Kai felt that there was no hope of breaking the city outside the city, so he changed his mindset and wanted to draw a clear line with himself.

To be honest, Zhao Jingshi despises people like Yuan Kai very much. Such people are typical of forgetting their righteousness when they see small profits, and cherishing their own lives when they do big things. Generally speaking, such people cannot become a general trend. If it were not for the situation, the Zhao family needed the Yuan family to rebel, Zhao Jingshi wanted to persuade the family to draw a clear line with the Yuan family as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated by the other party in the future.

"Okay, please take care of your health and drink less in the future. After all, drinking will not only harm your body, but sometimes it will also cause trouble." Zhao Jingshi said a pun.

"That's natural. I will advise my master more in the future. If there is nothing wrong with the cousin, please go back and rest earlier." The housekeeper's glasses smiled into a crack, making it impossible to tell whether his face was true or false.

On the other hand, within the Pei family army camp, Pei Xiaoer summoned all the senior leaders of the Pei family army to gather in Pei Xiaoer's tent to discuss the current situation.

"General, I think it's best to hit him directly. How many new officers and soldiers are there? There are only more than 20,000 people. How many of us have, a total of 70,000 troops. Even if three of them attack one of them, they can destroy this group of officers and soldiers." Pei Zhu'er's rough voice once again appeared in Pei Xiaoer's camp.

He arrived at the Pei family army camp nearly half a night today. As soon as he entered the camp, he was pulled in by Pei Xiaoer to discuss strategies to fight the enemy together.

Pei Zhuer's opinion is still as reckless as ever. No matter what kind of enemy he encounters or how many enemies he encounters, Pei Zhuer will never see any fear in his body. Even if he is the king of heaven, Pei Zhuer will dare to draw out his knife and fight him for 300 rounds.

The reason why Pei Xiaoer favors Pei Zhuer so much is his innate motivation, which is not afraid of heaven or earth. Perhaps affected by the survival of the system in his previous life, Pei Xiaoer always likes to think deeper and worse when he sees something. Sometimes when he thinks too much, he will have more worries, and this person loses the courage to move forward.

At this time, someone needs to break this concern and tell him, "What do you think so much, just do it." And this person is Pei Zhuer.

"What do others have any thoughts?" Pei Xiaoer ignored Pei Zhuer, looked around and asked.

The generals in the tent frowned and pondered, looked up at the top of the tent, made meditation, or lowered their heads and remained silent.

Pei Xiaoer knew that this kind of thing was too urgent, so he didn't urge him, and his eyes fell on the map in the middle again.

After a while, Qiao Chun seemed to have gained something and spoke, "General, do you think this group of reinforcements are the Sichuan Army transferred from Sichuan?"

"That's right." Pei Xiaoer nodded, "Our spies have already captured the officers and soldiers' tongues. Only through interrogation can we confirm that the group of officers and soldiers are from Sichuan, and the leader is the general officer Deng Yan."

"Deng Yan?" Qiao Chun stroked his beard and recalled: "When I was the magistrate of Anyi, I learned from the court's residence that Deng Yan was a powerful general, and this person was from Sichuan. In the early years of the Tianqi period, Deng Yan joined the army and gained merits. An Bangyan rebelled, and Deng Yan chased the thief and weaving gold, and was the most brave general.

In the early years of Chongzhen, he was promoted to deputy general of Sichuan and killed Anbangyan with Hou Liangzhu. In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a police officer in the capital. Deng Yan led 6,000 people to serve the king, and returned to Zun and Yong four cities. He was appointed as the assistant general of the commander and was in charge of thousands of households. Soon after, he was promoted to general and guarded Zunhua. He fought against the Jurchen people Xifengkou and Hongshan outside the pass, and made great contributions.

Last spring, the rebel general Kong Youde was in chaos. Lai Deng Yan asked for an order to suppress the bandits. The emperor appointed him as the general officer of the aid and suppression, defending Shahe with Hong and Liu Guozhu. Later, Kong Youde was defeated. I thought this person might have returned to Zunhua, but he actually ran to Nanyang."

"Well, it sounds like this person is good at fighting and is a tough guy." Pei Xiaoer said.

"Yes, so I think that this person can only be smart and try to avoid fighting hard."

"How to get ahead of your wits?" Pei Xiaoer asked.

"When I came here, I heard that Deng Qi's troops were still outside the city and did not enter the city. When I was the magistrate of Anyi, I knew that most local civil servants were unwilling to enter the city from outside the province, but Deng Qi was still staying outside the city at this time. I thought that I had not reached an agreement with the officers and soldiers in the city, and were rejected by the civil servants in the city, so I had to stay outside the city." Qiao Chun analyzed.

"Then why wouldn't Deng Yan not be unwilling to enter the city by himself, but instead like to stay outside the city and be free?" Pei Zhuer couldn't help but interrupt.
