Dragon blood bodyguard of the beauty president

Chapter 2927

In the meeting hall, the generals from all walks of life summarized and reported the intelligence and news in their hands to Gao Lian.

The pawn in charge of the army's money and food expenditures groaned, "Master Zhifu, the biggest problem we are facing now is the supply of military rations. Right now, the brothers in the city defense battalion have not paid their salaries for three months. The military rations stored in the city are only Enough to consume half a month for the army. If there is no income within half a month, I am afraid that there will be chaos within ourselves!"

Gao Lian became angry and said, "It's not that you are asked to collect food and grass everywhere, why is there so much difference?"

The pawn knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, let me tell you that all the counties in Gaotang Prefecture are struggling to make ends meet. We collected a batch before, and we already robbed the people of their winter rations. Now some counties have There are ten rooms and nine empties, and they all fled to Qizhou to beg for food. If this continues, the counties will become barren land next spring."

Gao Lian said with a dark face, "I only care about the present, but not next year. If Gaotang Prefecture can't keep it, we will die this year. Whoever wants to make this official feel bad, this official will make it difficult for him. The officer asks you, is there any problem with this grain and grass?"

The pawn touched the cold sweat on his head, quickly shook his head and said, "No, there is no problem."

Gao Lian scolded, "If there is no problem, hurry up and find a solution. If you delay the military situation, I will punish you by military law."

The pawn got up from the ground, nodded and bowed again and again, stepped back and went out the door.

The military chiefs and officials of other ministries and houses are not at ease in their hearts.

Gao Lian looked around and asked, "It is said that the imperial court has mobilized an army of one million in the Daming Mansion, preparing to go south to suppress the rebellion. Have you had any contact with this army?"

A military leader looked at the others, and saw that they were all sitting with no heads up, so he couldn't help but stood up and replied, "Your Excellency, although the imperial army has been recruited, the army of the North Liao Kingdom is watching from the north. Millions The army is stationed at the same place to guard against the Beidao army, and it still hasn't gone south."

Gao Lian scolded, "The imperial court always procrastinates like this when it comes to affairs. They don't know that the inside must be settled first when fighting against the outside world. The Beiliu people only care about the money in the Central Plains, and these thieves want me to rule the world of the Song Dynasty."

He and the army leader ordered, "You are to contact the support army, and tell them that the imperial court Taiwei Gao has ordered them to go south to support Gaotang Prefecture. Leave immediately, there must be no mistakes."

The head of the army cried bitterly, "But there is no imperial court order, and the army is dispatched south without authorization. If something happens, it will be a capital offense!"

Gao Lian scolded, "Why, are you worried about your own head, regardless of the life and death of the entire Gaotang Prefecture?"

The head of the army shook his head again and again, "No, no, that's not the meaning of the small one. The small one is worried about the magistrate, and he is afraid that the magistrate will be implicated."

Gao Lian snorted coldly, "When dealing with the thieves, our government has long put life and death aside, and we have a clear conscience. If the imperial court wants to take the head of our residence, let the imperial court take it. You just follow the arrangement of this residence, other things Don't worry about it."

Juntou cupped his fists and accepted the order helplessly, thinking in his heart that you have Taiwei Gao backing you up, so naturally you have no fear in your heart.

But something went wrong, and he had to take the knife on himself.

He really regretted it, why did he stand up just now!
A room full of people, after a while, Gao Lian scolded them all, and arranged tasks one by one.

Some people are responsible for preparing rations, some are responsible for contacting reinforcements, some are responsible for dispatching troops to defend the city, and some are responsible for maintaining discipline in the city.

None of these tasks are easy, and any one of them will be brain-dead.

Everyone's helpless groans receded, and there were many discussions on the road.

The distance between Qizhou and Gaotangzhou is more than 2000 miles, which is not very long in the Immortal Continent.

Ordinary people can walk five or six hundred miles a day.

If you know a little bit of cultivation, you can cover a thousand miles in two days.

After the Qizhou army set off, the vanguard cavalry came to the city in just one day.

The defenders of Gaotang Prefecture went out to fight without any sense, and watched helplessly as the rebels set up camp outside the city.

Along the way, refugees headed south to Qizhou in groups.

Song Gongming sat in the carriage, looked at these refugees and couldn't help but sighed, "Soldiers are fierce. If the soldiers make a move, the people will suffer!"

Wu Yong comforted him, "There is no need for the Duke to be sentimental. We rebelled just to let them have a long-term safe life. There is no chaos, no order, and chaos. Although after this chaos, many people died in the flames of war, but Future generations will follow An Sheng to enjoy happiness, and will no longer suffer from the exploitation of corrupt officials and the disaster of war!"

Song Gongming nodded and said, "Fortunately, there are a lot of industrial, mining and commercial establishments in Qilu and Shandong states, and these refugees also have a place to eat. Otherwise, I, Song Gongming, really feel uneasy."

Wu Yongdao, "The suffering of the common people is not our fault. It is because of the incompetence of the court that this happened. If the court does not change, the people of the world will be in trouble. Our righteous army still has a long way to go."

Song Gongming nodded, touched the sky with the accompanying guard leader and asked Du Qian, "How far is it to the front line?"

Du Qian reported back, "If you return to the Duke, you will still have five hundred miles to reach the front line."

He is tall and thin, and this time he was specially approved as an accompanying escort.

His armor was shining with gold, and he looked very burly.

Song Gongming put down the curtain, closed his eyes and rested in the chaise.

At this speed, we can reach the front line tomorrow.

In front of the teleportation channel of the officials in Gaotang Prefecture, the messengers on the altar kept coming in and out, rushing to various places from here.

A courier held official documents and wore official messenger clothes, and chose the destination in Damingfu.

Among the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Daming Mansion is the most powerful one.

Beiliao Kingdom borders here, and beyond the Yanshan Great Wall outside Daming Mansion, there is the endless Beiliao Grassland outside.

This is the largest trade center of the Great Song Dynasty, and also the largest border city in the north.

Merchants from all over the Northern Territory gathered here.

The population of the entire city is over [-] million people, which is about the same as the population of the capital.

Half of the millions of troops that went south this time came from the Daming Mansion.

When the messenger from Gaotang Prefecture arrived at the Daming Mansion, he immediately found a place to change his clothes. Instead of going to the official place, he went to a business club's guild hall.

In a luxurious guest room here, he met a young son and gave him the information.

After the prince saw it, he jumped up and shouted excitedly, "God help me, once the people of Song Dynasty go south, we can immediately launch an attack in Beijiao Kingdom. The supplies for this winter are finally ready."

He ordered the messenger to go down and let the messenger continue to inquire about news in Gaotang Prefecture.

A skinny old man followed in. After the messenger had left, he closed the door and said to the young man, "Your Majesty, my lord has specially instructed you to be careful this time, so that you don't get into trouble like last time. Before the matter is settled , I hope His Majesty the Prince will be more cautious."

The prince glanced at him with a look of dislike.

He was the son of the Southern King of Beiliu Town, Yeluhan, who was defeated by Taoist Mosquito in Lingzhou and almost killed.

His father, Yelu Xiongcai, was known as the number one warrior of Bei Liao, and he was the head of the eight great warriors.

Right now, Emperor Bei Liao is still young, and he relies on his father for all important affairs in the court.

His status in the North Liao country has also risen, and he is more ambitious than his father, and he wants to go south to take the Song land.
