After delivering the food, Yang Ding asked Yang Xiu to have a banquet and expressed his gratitude, but Yang Xiu politely declined.
"The war is imminent, and every grain of food should be cherished. I dare not waste it. To be honest, the general said that Your Majesty now has a meal a day to save some food and allow the soldiers to eat enough."
"Is that true?" Yang Ding was skeptical, but his face looked shocked.
To be honest, he doesn't believe in Yang Xiu very much.
Such scholars with noble origins are the most unreliable. They are full of benevolence, righteousness, and bad water. The people of Liangzhou have suffered from all the sufferings of these hypocrites, and are sucked by them, swallowed alive and peeled alive, and finally got charged with treason.
Instead of believing in him, it is better to believe in the Emperor.
The emperor was young and spoke straightforwardly, and he was even more tempted by the people of Liangzhou.
Jia Xu was loyal to him, probably because of this.
When Yang Ding thought of Jia Xu, he felt numb all over.
He was secretly grateful that he heard this sentence, otherwise he would not know how he died in the future.
The emperor is not scary, but Jia Xu... cannot afford to offend him.
"It's so normal for the general to believe it." Yang Xiu sighed and said, "I just thought Your Majesty was just talking about it, but I didn't know he would take it seriously. Speaking of which, it was Li Jue who bullied Your Majesty too ruthlessly. I heard from my father that he said that
, His Majesty asked Li Jue for some food rewards to the ministers, but Li Jue gave him five stinky cow bones. General, is this true?"
Yang Ding nodded vigorously.
He has also heard of this and it should not be fake.
"No wonder. Even ordinary people can't stand such humiliation, let alone His Majesty. As long as they can cut off Li Jue's head, let alone just eat one meal a day, it's worth it even if they are hungry for a few days."
Yang Ding felt it was reasonable and agreed.
In this way, it is reasonable that the emperor accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and decided that Li Jue was the leader and refused to pardon him.
While checking Yang Ding's camp, Yang Xiu chatted with Yang Ding, and brought the relationship closer, while conveying the relevant information quietly. Yang Ding was uneasy, unsteady, listened timidly, and obediently.
Yang Xiu is responsible for passing the message, Xu Huang and Guo Wu are responsible for checking and filling in the gaps.
Xu Huang served as a county official for many years and was in Yang Feng's army for more than two years, with rich military experience. Before coming, Jia Xu told the maps he had drawn one by one to explain the key points. At this moment, he looked at Yang Ding's camp, and pointed out some
Yang Xiu reminded Yang Ding to pay attention to repair the flaws that may be exploited by his opponent.
Yang Ding was very surprised. "This one is..."
"Xu Huang and Xu Gongming." Yang Xiu introduced: "Before, under the tent of General Fengyi. General Fengyi heard that His Majesty selected elite soldiers and served as his attendant, so he recommended him. He was the one who captured Xiliang's cavalry last time.
.”
Yang Ding remembered that he had a little impression of Xu Huang, but he had never spoken.
Xu Huang didn't talk much and was incompatible with the generals under Yang Feng, who were mainly composed of Baibo thieves.
Yang Ding specially chatted with Xu Huang. When talking about personnel, Xu Huang didn't talk much. When talking about military affairs, Xu Huang was very talkative and explained to Yang Ding one by one the situation he had just observed.
Yang Ding became more and more surprised the more he heard it, and inexplicably he was gloating.
Yang Feng actually gave such a talent to the emperor, which is so stupid.
A moth thief is a moth thief. He is brave but not scheming and it is difficult to achieve great things.
Yang Ding asked Guo Wu again, and learned that Guo Wu was originally Yulinlang and is now with the emperor, so he naturally focused on winning over. He chose two good horses from the army and gave them to Xu Huang and Guo Wu, and picked two more.
Please ask Yang Xiu to bring it to the emperor and show your feelings.

Yang Biao hurried back to the imperial camp and went straight to the camp of Sun Rui, the guard guard.
Shi Sun Rui was wearing a helmet and armor, standing on the stage of the central general, commanding his subordinates to practice formations.
After receiving the imperial edict of Your Majesty and acting as a acting chief, he summoned the ministers in charge of military affairs and the five lieutenants to discuss the battle plan and arranged the positions of each battalion. As the main force to protect the imperial camp, the guards under the guard can be said to be
It was the last line of defense of the imperial camp, and the Shi Sun Ruihua had the most thoughts and did not dare to slack off at all.
When Yang Biao walked onto the Central Army General, he had just finished a group of performances, gathering the captains and Sima of each battalion to the stage to analyze the pros and cons of the drill just now. He said too much, his voice was hoarse, and his lips were also
It was so dry that it was cracked, and the eyes were filled with blood.
Seeing Yang Biao coming up, he was covered in sweat. He lifted the kettle beside him and wanted to pour a glass of water for Yang Biao, but found that the kettle had been empty. He was so angry that he shouted: "Water, water, why haven't the water been taken yet
?”
"Weiwei, you are cooking, it's going to be done soon." A child from the audience responded, his voice anxious.
"Look, I'm in a mess here." Shi Sun Rui said with a wry smile.
Yang Biao sighed. "Jun Rong, thank you for your hard work."
"What are you saying?" Shi Sun Rui smiled and said, "It is not natural to eat your king's fortune and share your worries. Why bother?" He paused and said, "Your Majesty is displaced and was thieves.
That is the hard work that I am forced to do. As ministers, I cannot protect Your Majesty, so what kind of face can I have in the world? If I can kill Li Jue and Guo Si and avenge Your Majesty, even if I am crushed to pieces and put on my body, it will be worth it.
of."
Yang Biao looked at Shi Sun Rui and felt even more bitter.
"Jun Rong, Your Majesty doesn't want you to be crushed to pieces. Your Majesty wants you to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility and be a real Grand Marshal."
Shi Sun Rui turned his head to look at Yang Biao, and raised his lips gently. "Is this your Majesty's wish, or your wish?"
"It was originally just my wish, but now it is also Your Majesty's wish."
"oh?"
Shi Sun Rui thought about it, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave, and stood side by side with Yang Biao on the railing. "What did Your Majesty say to you?"
Yang Biao did not hide it, and talked about the story of the emperor's argument with him one by one.
He rushed back to the imperial camp today to discuss this matter with Shi Sun Rui.
Jia Xu proposed that the Northern and Southern Army transport the second batch of food and grass to Yang Ding to restore the momentum of the court. The reason is naturally fine, but it is quite difficult to implement.
Of course, the emperor could not take action personally, and Sun Rui, a scholar who acted as the Grand Marshal, became the best candidate.
This is a challenge, and an opportunity.
If Sun Rui could complete the task, not only would the court have the face, but the Taiwei regained military power, but the three dukes would have the confidence to turn the virtual into the real one.
"Is Junrong... feasible?"
Shi Sun Rui looked at Yang Biao for a while, then pointed to the North and South Army and the Fifth Battalion soldiers who were practicing and further away.
"What do you think?"
Yang Biao smacked his lips and felt bitter in his heart.
Although he was not a military man, he knew the combat power of the North and South Army. The content of Shi Sun Rui’s training was not a profound tactic, but the most basic formation. It was not that Shi Sun Rui did not understand more profound tactics, but these
The soldiers of the North and South Army had too poor foundations and could only start from the most basic ones.
Judging from the current situation, relying on favorable terrain and defending according to the formation may have a little chance of winning. Taking the initiative to attack and conducting field battles with the Western Liang army is basically no different from committing suicide.
"Jun Rong, there is no way to do it?" Yang Biao was struggling desperately in his heart.
Shi Sun Rui pondered for a long time. "There is a solution. But once this example is opened, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and there are endless troubles."
