Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 505;

Duke Zhen acted very quickly, but it is not very clear how he discussed with the second prince of Xirong.

But Lu Yaoyao, who had been secretly watching both sides, received a message.

Zhen Guozheng secretly mobilized the military supplies near Yunling Pass, doing it very secretly.

Moreover, Lao Kang also spread the news that it seemed that many Qiao Zhuang Dongzhou people dressed as Xirong people had left Yunling pass.

"It seems that Duke Zhen has started to act. Let them keep watching and report any news in time."

Qiu Shuang hurriedly nodded and retreated to deliver the news.

"Duke Zhen, I really didn't expect you to do this."

All along, she felt that since Duke Zhen was able to plan for Emperor Hongwen to ascend the throne successfully, his personal ability would definitely not be bad.

Moreover, he has done very well in the past few times of confrontation. Although he lost, it was only a victory obtained by the crushing of Emperor Hongwen's status, which can only be regarded as a small loss.

After all, the military power of Gyeonggi did not fall into the hands of Emperor Hongwen.

But this time, Duke Zhen felt that what he did was too bad.

Maybe he didn't want to pay too much to help Xi Rong.

Regarding the situation in Xirong, Lu Yaoyao knows best, what is lacking now is not the help of the army, but the lack of food to appease the people.

Originally, she thought that the Zhen Guo Guild would give some money and food to help Xi Rong, but no, it should be giving some money and food in exchange for something from Xi Rong.

But now it seems that Duke Zhen is really greedy.

Unexpectedly, he was not willing to spend any money, and had to use the military supplies prepared by the imperial court.

If this is revealed, Duke Zhen is afraid that he will be in trouble.

Emperor Hongwen had been waiting for this opportunity all along, and now Zhen Guogong was considered to be in the suit.

In fact, it's not that Duke Zhen is too greedy, it's just that he is also poor. Don't look at the things he got from the Han family earlier, but he needs to spend money on everything up and down.

He has to plan for the future, and the money is simply not enough.

And his actions this time were also very secretive. There was almost no news from the capital side. The reason why Lu Yaoyao knew about it was because Lao Kang and Li Qi had been paying close attention to all the movements at Yunling Pass.

Sure enough, King Jin came that day, and when Lu Yaoyao asked about it, King Jin didn't know about it at all.

"You can let people go to the border camp, and there will be unexpected surprises."

Hearing this, King Jin's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Do you know something?"

"Duke Zhen has started to act. It is very secretive. I only received the news two days ago."

"really?"

"It shouldn't be fake."

King Jin quickly stood up and walked back and forth several times.

"Okay, I'll go into the palace now to have a look."

Sure enough, Emperor Hongwen didn't receive the news either, but when King Jin said so, Emperor Hongwen immediately closed his eyes.

"Well, I know about you, King Jin, you should also prepare, the capital should be well controlled."

King Jin nodded again and again.

The next day, at the dawn of the court, Emperor Hongwen suddenly spoke about the situation in Xirong.

"Dear dears, now Xirong and us are considered in-laws. Their current situation is like this. Shouldn't we help one or two?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wen Songtao immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Since it is an alliance relationship, it should help one or two."

"If Xirong continues to be chaotic like this, the meaning of this alliance will be gone."

Indeed, the current situation of the Xirong Royal Court is not very good. If the Royal Court changes hands, what is their alliance?
Therefore, help is certain, and of course it is not for nothing. In the future, they will inevitably ask Xi Rong for some war horses.

This is something that Dongzhou lacks.

Bei Chu just got a lot from Xi Rong earlier, if they slow down and come in, who knows if Bei Chu will attack Dongzhou.

"Subsidiary"

Dong Xiang also stood up, and as the left and right ministers stood up, almost all the civil servants also stood up.

"How does Lord Zhen feel?"

Emperor Hongwen asked.

At this time, Duke Zhen was a little absent-minded. When Emperor Hongwen suddenly mentioned this matter just now, he was wondering if the other party had noticed something.

But it doesn't seem right, he did it in a secretive enough way, and the capital is even tighter, so it's unlikely that he would know.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and the minister also agrees, but I don't know how Your Majesty intends to help."

"Let's talk about it, everyone."

The ministers immediately started discussing, and some suggested that Dongzhou send troops to go back with the second prince of Xirong to suppress it.

However, Xirong needs to pay for military expenses. After all, sending troops to fight a war costs a lot. Dongzhou can send troops to help, but it is impossible to pay for military expenses. After all, they are not rich.

As soon as I heard this, I knew it was the meaning of the Minister of the Household Department. This is a miser.

In this regard, many people think it makes sense. Sending troops is already based on the alliance relationship, and it would be too much to pay for it yourself.

If the former Xirong was okay, after all, the people are not bad, and they have equal qualifications.

As for now, it is naturally impossible to be equal.

After all, it was Xi Rong who came to ask for help, and they couldn't act too aggressively.

"Sending troops is certain, but I am also concerned about the recent situation in Xirong. I think food is more important."

As soon as Wen Songtao opened his mouth, many people immediately seconded him.

"What Wen Xiang said makes sense, but we don't have much food."

Hubu Shangshu jumped out again.

"I do have a proposal."

As soon as Dong Xiang opened his mouth, everyone's eyes focused on him.

"Dong Aiqing, tell me."

"At present, there is no war in East Continent. The barracks have a lot of military food reserves, and this year's agricultural development is quite smooth. Many cities have a lot of food reserves."

"However, roads are still blocked by heavy snow in many places nowadays, so it is not very convenient to transport."

"I think, why don't we send some of them from Yunlingguan Daying to Xirong first, and then make up for it later from various cities in the country?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this, Duke Zhen's originally tense heart relaxed at this moment.

It seemed that they didn't know what they were doing, and what Dong Xiang said was exactly what he had thought about for a long time.

Originally, he wanted to wait a few days before mentioning the matter of Xirong, and then persuaded him to support Xirong, that is, according to Dong Xiang's method.

At that time, the food and grass he sent away in advance will be replenished quickly. Not only has he helped Xirong, but he can also get benefits. The most important thing is that he has not paid any money.

"The veteran thinks Dong Xiang's method is very good."

As soon as Lord Zhen Guo spoke, all the generals also agreed.

"So, then follow what Dong Xiang said."

"The matter of mobilizing grain and grass at Yunlingguan Daying Camp is handed over to Lord Zhen Guo."

"Shangshu Hubu, please contact the governors of the major cities and Biejia as soon as possible. If you can afford it, prepare the food first and send it to Yunling Pass to make up for it."
