Chapter 385
Since Tang Zan asked for her opinion, he definitely didn't just ask.

In the previous life, the Tartars had indeed attacked the Gulan Barracks at the end of March. Pei Shu'er could not let these people think that the Tartars would not attack, otherwise it would be too bad for the Gulan Barracks.

"Returning to the general, I think the possibility of the Tartars attacking is very high. After all, the Tartars have been gathering people from other tribes since last year."

"They have been preparing for more than half a year. Now they are acting loose. Maybe it's a tactic to delay the attack. What should we do if they catch us by surprise?"

Ma Zhong frowned: "Madam General, I don't think it's possible. The Tazi tribe itself is not united, and it will take time to integrate."

Pei Shu'er smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then we will be ready at any time and speed up the pace of conscription. Even if the Tartars do not attack, then we will have nothing to lose, right?"

Everyone nodded. What Pei Shuer said made sense, and it could also improve the overall quality of soldiers.

Tang Zan also said: "Then follow Madam's instructions, and take good care of your subordinates."

After these people dispersed, Tang Zan pulled Pei Shu'er into his arms, and looked into Pei Shu'er's eyes with serious thoughts.

Pei Shu'er had the illusion of being seen through.

Tang Zan said, "If you're tired, go to the room and take a rest, and I'll deal with business again."

Pei Shu'er is indeed tired, and she really hasn't had much rest these days.

When she woke up, it was almost dinner time, she washed up and walked out.

Tang Zan was writing something on the desk, his brows were tightly frowned, and his brows were full of hostility.

Pei Shu'er walked towards Tang Zan and stood beside him.

See, in his hand is about the accountability from the emperor, asking why Ke Dun was robbed by their Tang family.

Pei Shu'er said: "This news must have been told to the emperor, so the emperor will be held accountable."

And the person who told the emperor was nothing more than the third prince.

Tang Zan said: "Actually, this matter can be big or small. Yan Haoxuan is just taking the opportunity to embarrass others. The most hateful thing is that he asked us to hand over all the taxes in the general camp."

Pei Shu'er was stunned when she heard that, Dayan's rule is that the tax revenue of the military camp's left-behind area belongs to the military camp, especially when the military salary is not enough.

Only one month's military salary has been given now, and the remaining military salary is only enough to last for one month. Emperor Dayan is really embarrassed to ask for it.

"The point is, what does he want the food for? The palace has no shortage of food."

Tang Zan's eyes were deep: "The defenders on the other borders have not received such an order. This order is clearly aimed at me."

Probably Tang Zan's distant cousin rescued Ke Dun, which put the emperor on guard and did not want Tang Zan's strength to continue to grow.

Pei Shu'er's voice was cool: "Isn't it just that if you want the horse to run, don't you let the horse eat grass?"

There will be another big battle with the Tartars in March. They are now suffering from internal and external troubles.

Tang Zan didn't speak any more, Pei Shu'er asked.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Tang Zan had a sneer on his lips: "Yes, of course I will, and I will give it with great fanfare."

Pei Shu'er was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"That's right. What the emperor wants is the tax revenue from the Gulan Mountains last year, so let's give it. Anyway, it's almost eaten up."

The rest are almost inedible.

But if the emperor wants it, then they will just give it, and the emperor's order cannot be violated.

As for the food donated by Pei Shu'er, it was not within the scope of what the emperor wanted.

On this day, there was a lot of movement in the Gulan military camp, especially in the cellar.

Packs of potatoes, radishes and Chinese cabbage were carried out, as well as some rice noodles.

In the end, all these things were added up to a total of [-] kilograms.

Commander Zhang asked: "General Tang, what are you doing?"

Tang Zan didn't speak, but Ma Zhong spoke very angrily.

"The emperor said that we should hand over the remaining taxes from last year to the Gulan Mountains."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.

Doesn't this make them starve to death?
Now that spring has just started, the crops have just been sown for a few days, it is the time when the crops are green and yellow, and the food is given. What do they eat?
Is the emperor still short of this bite?
General Zhao has also recovered a little now, and now he has become a lieutenant general. Standing next to Tang Zan, he is also frowning.

"Before this, there was no such thing in the Gulan military camp, and it traveled thousands of miles. When the food was transported to the capital, it would definitely be rotten."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the others became even uglier.

Didn't the emperor make it clear that he bullied them at the Gulan military camp? They had just had enough food for a few days. If they just took it back now, what would they do in the future?
Are they going to become the state where they couldn't eat enough to eat and had no strength to fight?

That tartar must be very proud, right?
What the emperor did was really chilling.

It's lunch break now, and more and more people are coming here.

Everyone already had a lot of complaints against the emperor in their hearts, and now they are even more complaining.

Tang Zan sighed: "It's okay. There is still some food left from the previous donation. We promise that even if our generals go hungry, we won't let everyone go hungry."

As soon as the donated food came out, everyone couldn't help being even more angry.

The other merchants donated food, and the emperor was lucky. Instead of donating food, he started to grab the food that should have been given to them.

They fight for the emperor, guard the frontiers for the emperor, they don't even give them a bite of food, and even rob them.

This is not giving everyone a way out.

Pei Shu'er raised her eyebrows, watching Tang Zan do this, she always felt that he was a little sluggish.

He deliberately made the emperor lose the hearts of the people.

It is clear that he suffered a loss, and he secretly countered the emperor's army.

Until the food was taken away by the people from the capital in front of everyone, the soldiers were so angry that their eyes were red.

Tang Zan sighed: "Everyone, don't worry, we won't make you hungry."

A soldier was in a hurry and said angrily, "I just can't get angry, how could it be like this."

Tang Zan said coldly, "Speak carefully."

The man immediately shut up, and when he saw Yan Hengyin and Yan Hengjin walking towards him, he couldn't help but feel grateful to Tang Zan.

Fortunately, it was told by General Tang, otherwise, if the third prince and fifteen princes heard about it, then maybe his life would be lost.

Pei Shu'er looked at Tang Zan with a smile, and leaned into Tang Zan's ear and whispered.

"Then, if you say that, do you want the emperor to experience the situation that the Tang family was accused of by thousands of people back then?"

The corner of Tang Zan's mouth curled up: "This is just one of them."

Tang Zan didn't say anything about the rest.

It's not that he doesn't trust Pei Shu'er, but that he only increases his worry if she knows about it.
