"Zhao Da, this confrontation has been going on for more than a month, why is there no movement at all yet?"
"You tell me whether they will fight this battle or not."
Cheng Chumo didn't understand the current situation.
Nearly a month has passed since the emperor arrived on the frontline battlefield.
Except for a small contact that day, there was no movement at all after that.
This can't help but make Cheng Chumo feel strange.
War requires a quick victory, and such a stalemate was very damaging to the morale of the soldiers.
Cheng Chumo has heard many complaints from his soldiers these days, and many people have begun to miss their hometown.
If this continues, I don’t know what will happen!
"We must fight, but I probably haven't figured out how to fight yet." Zhao Chen looked at the Goguryeo camp with numerous tents in front of him.
It's already July, and in two months the weather will get cold here.
Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty came from the south.
It will probably be difficult to adapt to the environment here.
If we don't call as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be many accidents.
"Your father doesn't have any explanation?" Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo asked.
Cheng Chu silently shook his head.
He was just a partial general, unlike Zhao Chen who could see the emperor and the others at any time.
There is no news even about Zhao Chen, let alone Cheng Chumo.
"That old guy, my dad, would never reveal these military secrets to me."
"I just wanted to ask you a question!" Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen explained.
It would be fine if Cheng Yaojin didn't deal with him on weekdays.
Those military secrets will not be shared with him.
"How are the winter clothes prepared for the soldiers of Pu Daoying?" Zhao Chen and Cheng Chu asked silently.
The current war will never end so easily.
Winter in the north is coming soon.
The preparations that need to be made must also be prepared in advance.
"I told Military Advisor Xu about this half a month ago, and he also told His Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty has issued an order to return to Chang'an and ask the Prime Minister and others to send someone to bring winter clothes."
"We should be almost arriving in Chang'an by now." Cheng Chumo said.
Zhao Chen nodded, as long as the emperor and the others are prepared.
"Cheng Er, do you think that if we secretly burn down Yeon Gaesowen's granary in Zhenyuan City, this war will basically be over?"
"Ah?" Cheng Chumo looked surprised.
…
"His Royal Highness, I have just received a letter from the front line and your Majesty's order." In the East Palace, Kong Yingda ran into the hall from outside with a letter in his hand.
Li Tai behaves very modestly these days.
If there was anything I didn't know about political affairs, I would humbly ask Fang Xuanling for advice.
When meeting Wei Zheng, he would also salute him.
Fang Xuanling felt that Li Tai seemed to be a different person, and felt a lot more relieved about him.
He also agreed to let Li Tai take some political affairs back to the East Palace for handling.
At this moment, Li Tai was looking at the battle reports sent back from the front line.
I saw in the battle report that Zhao Chen had just arrived at the front line and had made great achievements several times, including rescuing Niu Jinda who had been captured alive before.
Won the respect of the front line.
These contents made Li Tai very angry.
It was the man in the battle report who made him live in shame all the time.
"What order?" Li Tai folded the previous battle report on the front line and put it on the table, then looked up at Kong Yingda.
The look on his face was very calm.
"Your Majesty said that the fighting on the front line is stalemate and we don't know when it will end. He ordered the rear to send winter clothes, charcoal and other cold-proof items to the front line immediately without delay." Kong Yingda said, placing the letter in his hand in front of Li Tai.
"Your Highness, are we going to prepare these things?" Kong Yingda asked tentatively.
This is the emperor's order. If they are delayed and the emperor investigates, they cannot escape responsibility.
Moreover, winter clothes and other items to keep out the cold are related to the life and death of frontline soldiers.
The emperor is also there.
This cannot be delayed.
But Kong Yingda knew that Li Tai might not be so willing to do this!
After all, Zhao Chen is also on the front line, who knows if Li Tai will...
"Can Chang'an prepare enough winter clothes and other things to keep out the cold?" Li Tai scanned the letters in front of him and asked Kong Yingda.
"It's enough. Before setting off for the expedition, His Majesty had people prepare these things in advance."
"It was just that time was tight and we didn't have time to take them away together." Kong Yingda explained.
He had some doubts in his heart.
Li Tai asked, does he want people to send all these things directly to the front line?
This is not like Li Tai's style.
"I understand." Li Tai nodded, picked up the letter in front of him, and placed it on the candlelight beside him.
The flames ignited and the letter turned into ashes in front of Kong Yingda's eyes.
Kong Yingda looked shocked, and for a moment he didn't know what Li Tai meant.
"Who sent the letter?" Li Tai's eyes fell on Kong Yingda.
"Frontline soldiers." Kong Yingda replied.
"We have never received this letter, do you understand?" Li Tai and Kong Yingda said slowly.
Kong Yingda felt something in his heart. He understood what Li Tai meant.
But these cold-proof things are just left in Chang'an and not transported to the front lines and battlefields?
If something happens to the emperor then...
What Li Tai would not think about is causing trouble to the emperor!
Kong Yingda glanced at Li Tai secretly, only to see him staring at her.
"Yes, I understand." Kong Yingda nodded quickly.
Kong Yingda has already boarded Li Tai's pirate ship, and now he can only go down the first path in silence.
Kong Yingda retreated, and Li Tai continued to look at the frontline battle report in front of him with a calm expression.
…
"Prime Minister, today is already July, and winter is coming quickly on the frontline battlefields. It will be winter in two months at most."
"Your Majesty, they did not bring winter clothes or other things to keep out the cold."
"It stands to reason that there should be orders like this coming these days. Why is there still no movement?"
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling asked in Zhongshu Provincial Government Office.
Fang Xuanling rubbed his swollen and painful head and looked at Wei Zheng: "Brother Xuancheng, don't be too anxious. Maybe the messenger is still on the way."
There are so many great things to do in various places recently, so I stayed up all night again last night.
Fang Xuanling felt very tired.
"Prime Minister, I'm worried that someone stopped me when I entered Chang'an City under His Majesty's orders." Wei Zheng frowned.
He never believed that Li Tai would change.
Seeing that the front line will enter winter in two months, there is no way the emperor will not send someone to give orders.
Is it possible that the Goguryeo army can be defeated within two months?
"No, brother Xuancheng, don't worry, no one has such courage." Fang Xuanling didn't believe that anyone had such courage.
After all, the emperor is on the front line, unless someone wants to treason.
Otherwise, I would never dare to conceal the emperor's order.
Fang Xuanling knew that Wei Zheng was worried that Li Tai had concealed the emperor's order.
But Li Tai is the prince, will he still put his father's safety behind him?
Fang Xuanling didn't believe it.
Wei Zheng nodded and sighed. The battle on the front line is now stalemate, and we don't know how long it will last.
They can't help much now.
I'm just thinking about this logistical thing, so I don't have any problems.
"Brother Xuancheng, there are still many things to deal with. Don't think about other things."
"If we finish the matter early, we can go back and rest early today." Fang Xuanling patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder and said.?
