"You..." Seeing that this Li Baihu was playing against him again, Duan Xingzhou moved his knees and wanted to stand up and argue with Li Mu, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the sixth prince.

"Brother Hong, right! You look good! Get up first, everyone!" the sixth prince said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The people who got the sixth prince's permission to kneel on the ground quickly got up. They had been kneeling for a while, and when they got up, their legs were almost numb. The prince was scolded, they knelt for so long, but this brother Hong was called out as soon as he came, he is simply a bastard who is lustful and stupid!

"Since you're here on behalf of Liangfeng Rice, tell me how much rice you plan to donate this time?" The Sixth Prince looked around Hong Ge'er before asking.

Although the sixth prince's eyes made Brother Hong very disgusted, but for the sake of food and rice, and for the sake of the Shen family, Brother Hong could only hold back his thoughts and replied: "Return to Your Highness, this time my Shen family is willing to pay nine thousand dollars." Shi Liangcao, I only hope that our army can win a complete victory!"

"Nine thousand stones!" As soon as Brother Hong finished speaking, the merchants present took a breath of air-conditioning and were horrified. With the sum of all their sums, the Shen family deserves to be the richest merchant in the world. Nine thousand stones is not a small amount!Even Duan Xingzhou, who was sure that Liang Feng Mi Xing could take out seven thousand stones before, was shocked. Although he knew that Liang Feng Mi Xing had this ability, it didn't mean that the other party was willing to take out so much food for no reason!You must know that in the war-torn era, this rice was nothing but money!

"Little brother, your nine thousand stones is not a small amount. Are you sure you can make the decision? You must know that this is the current sixth prince, and this is not a place where you can talk nonsense! Otherwise, you will lose your head!" Duan Xingzhou's eyes were sharp. Look at Brother Hong.

"My lord, my father is Shen Congtian, the head of the Shen family. Of course, I keep my word!" Brother Hong said calmly, and now the Shen family is just like him, only a mere nine thousand shi of grain. How could it be impossible to be the master!

"Nine thousand stones? That's not necessary. Several merchants have already promised nine thousand stones. My brother, you only need to pay seven thousand stones for your food and rice business!" Hong's calm and self-promise convinced Li Mu that he could do it. The decision was made and he opened his mouth to tell the plan. Their affairs have been reported to the imperial court. Bai Yuan once asserted that the food and grass will definitely be delivered in at most one and a half months, so the goal of their visit this time is [-] shi, neither less nor no need. many.

"Okay!" Bailiyuan can be said to be the one who believes in the words of this brother Hong, and he also knows the number Li Mu said, so he will make a decision immediately.

The matter of raising food and grass was settled in this way. Although the matter of winter clothes was not in place all at once, after all, it was still a bit far away from winter. Bailiyuan directly ignored the quantity proposed by those merchants, and asked them to make up enough in a certain amount of time. The overbearing and unreasonableness of the sixth prince is vividly reflected here.

"That's the decision, Li Baihu!" Bailiyuan didn't want to waste any more words. Anyway, the problem has been solved, and the next step is not his business!

"Yes!" Li Mu responded, and took out a warrant from his bosom: "There is a reason why the Sixth Prince raised military funds on behalf of the imperial court this time. The commander-in-chief of the Central Committee is greedy for the army's salary, and the food, grass and winter clothes are all indiscriminate. The war is now approaching, and winter is approaching. It is urgent to ask for donations from all of you. You are benevolent and helpful. The Sixth Prince understands the righteousness and promises to report to the current emperor to reward the person who contributed the most this time, as evidenced by this warrant, the Liangfeng Rice Bank donated the largest amount, please put away this warrant so that you can listen to it in the future!"

"Liangfeng rice line accepts the order, thank the sixth prince!" Li Mu's words immediately made Brother Hong's eyes light up, and he immediately knelt down in front of the sixth prince, raising his hands up.

Li Mu nodded and put the warrant into Brother Hong's hands. They represented the imperial court to collect food, so how could they really take it by force? Not to mention anything else, it would be convenient for those who are willing to participate after the victory of the war. They can't afford to walk around. The army is used to fight, and they are not allowed to exploit the common people in this name. Although this merchant has money, their money is not for nothing!

Li Mu's words and a warrant finally let the merchants present understand the true meaning of raising military funds this time. They all said that although this merchant is rich, he is undoubtedly at the bottom of this ranking. People with a little bit of power can only be mermaids. Usually they try to win the relationship, but they didn't expect such a good opportunity to be presented to them this time, but they resisted it like poison. Money is important, but money is not You can still earn it back, but there is only one chance in front of you!

Those merchants regretted it in their hearts. Looking at the warrant in Brother Hong's hand, they were simply envious and jealous, especially the other two rice shops. So far, they couldn't open their mouths at all. After all, they had been bitten to death before. If they opened their mouths to change the donation amount now, they might not get a warrant but a big knife!Not everyone dares to challenge the temperament of the sixth prince. Thinking of this, I can't help but complain to Duan Xingzhou. If he hadn't called in advance, how could they have allowed Liangfeng Rice to take so much credit!

"Prefect Duan, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on it next time, and ask all the merchants to deliver the food, grass and winter clothes according to the agreed quantity, and the chief guard Liu will stay to assist you in completing this time, thank you!" Li Mu sailed towards Duan very politely. hand over.

"In the eyes of Li Baihu, this is my duty. Please rest assured, Your Highness and Li Baihu, the food, grass and winter clothes will be delivered to the barracks!" The matter has come to this point, although Duan Xingzhou is unwilling, but has no power to return God, I can only suppress the emotions in my heart and make a promise to Li Mu and the sixth prince with a smile.

"Your Highness, it's getting late at this time. The officials have prepared good wine and good food in this private room, why don't you move forward?" Seeing the sixth prince standing up, Duan Xingzhou quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"No need!" Bailiyuan refused without hesitation. His uncompromising tone made Duan Xingzhou choke. The sixth prince is too defiant. Can be arrogant ass!But this person was born unfairly, seeing Bailiyuan leave, he could only lead a group of people to send him away respectfully, he could not show any reluctance or dissatisfaction.

At this time, the sun has gradually risen, obviously it is almost noon, and it is indeed almost time to eat. Li Mu is riding on the horse and looking at the back in front of him on the left, he is a little puzzled. Having a meal there, even though the boat ride was not pleasing to the eye, but I can't wrong my stomach!

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Li Mu knew that the sixth prince was not as arrogant and domineering as he appeared on the surface, and there must be a reason for coming back in such a hurry.

Amidst the clattering of horseshoes, the barracks appeared in front of his eyes. Seeing the barracks, Li Mu's expression turned serious. Although he hadn't entered the barracks, Li Mu already felt the tense atmosphere in the barracks at a glance. What's going on here?

"Your Highness!" Li Mu jumped on his stomach and caught up with the sixth prince a few steps forward.

The sixth prince's face showed a rare seriousness, he nodded to Li Mu and speeded up to enter the barracks.

When Li Mu and his party came back, someone came forward to lead the horses to resettle them. Li Mu casually grabbed a soldier and asked what happened to the army. Li Mu was shocked by the news he got from the soldier.

Sure enough, the Xiyi army came for reinforcements as he had guessed before. According to reports from the spies in front, the number of troops coming this time is estimated to be close to [-]. It will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow!

Nearly [-] troops!Although Li Mu guessed that there would be Xiyi reinforcements before, he did not expect that this time there would be so many at once. If adding the Xiyi army before, then the number of enemy troops this time may be almost three times that of his side !Such a number obviously created a lot of pressure on the entire army. Before the two armies were equal in number, the side won less and lost more. The psychological shadow caused by the army to the soldiers here still exists, not to mention the huge difference in the number of the two armies this time. If it were replaced by Cao Xianzhi before leading the army, I am afraid that they can immediately call for surrender!

"Li Baihu, the general told you to hold a meeting half an hour after you come back!" Seeing Li Mu and others coming back, He Wen, who had been guarding early in the morning, hurried up to convey the general's order.

"Okay, I got it!" Li Mu nodded, but he didn't hurry over there. After all, there was still half an hour, so he had to fill his stomach before going over. He didn't know how long it would take for this emergency military meeting. When is it, it is not a short-term thing for the army to overwhelm the country!

"Your Highness, then the general will resign first!" Li Mu said to the sixth prince.

"Go!" The sixth prince didn't stop him, and he still had things to deal with.

After eating, Li Mu made some adjustments before heading to the tent where the meeting was held. He could feel the nervousness of all the soldiers along the way. When he got to the tent, Li Mu found that most of the generals had already arrived. Everyone's faces were very dignified, and the atmosphere was very oppressive. They all knew that this time the enemy army was coming in menacingly, and it might be difficult to deal with it!

After so many days, Li Mu basically knew the generals here, but he couldn't say anything in such an atmosphere, so he just nodded to a few more familiar ones, and sat at the end. In the position, quietly waiting for Bai Yuan's arrival.
