Chapter 854 Pride
Dong Ce looked at the emperor intently. Under his armor, he was covered in hot sweat, and his agitated thoughts had already flown to the border of Canglan.

Gearing up, wishing that the emperor would give the order and set off immediately to rush to Gu Zhen's side, looking up at how this god-like general would conquer thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and command hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.

His thoughts were interrupted by the Secretary of the Ministry of War. The emperor raised his hand and said, "Since the garrisons from all over the country have brought rations, you don't have to rush. I will give you one day's work. No matter what method you use, you can raise half a month for me." With so many people participating in the war, if the war cannot be over in half a month, Gu Zhen will not have the shame to come back to see me. I will tell the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs that you have opened up the money from the treasury."

"It's just a matter of fact. Not a penny of this money has been used for business. You know the consequences yourself!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War immediately nodded and said yes.

In a battle of this scale, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to skimp on it, let alone the opponent was Gu Zhen...

"Now that the military supplies and supplies have been gathered, you don't have to go and deliver them in person. All you have to do is ask Dong Ce to bring the elite escort from the Xishan Camp."

Dong Ce accepted the order generously.

The Minister of War hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the national treasury will not be able to handle such large-scale military supplies."

The emperor didn't care, "If we win this battle, the entire Canglan Kingdom will become my treasury. I don't care what I do with this little money in the treasury now!"

Then, he turned his head to Dong Ce, "You sent the supplies and told Gu Zhen that I allow his soldiers to embezzle the finances after breaking the city, but you must bring the Canglan treasury back intact! "

It has been almost a routine since ancient times for the army to press the territory and break into the city. On the first day after the city is broken, those soldiers who risk their lives to fight can take possession of the valuable treasures found in the city.

Gu Zhen and the emperor have always acquiesced in this.

There is no such thing as strict military discipline... You fight desperately until your head is bloody. Once you capture the city, you tell them that this is not allowed and that is not allowed... Not to mention that the soldiers are dissatisfied, and their own conscience can't bear it.

Could it be that when the soldiers captured the city, the property in the city could only be owned by the emperor?That doesn't make sense!
Those who see it have a share!
The only thing is, if you want to rob, you can only rob the finances of the local yamen and officials' mansions. Don't touch anything that belongs to the people.

Burning, killing, and looting are strictly prohibited.

After the emperor finished speaking, Dong Ce clasped his fists to accept the order, his heart beating so fast that it wanted to burst his chest.

The Minister of the Ministry of War continued to look hesitant, "But all the money from the national treasury is used to buy military supplies, and this military salary..."

Although it was a matter related to the Ministry of Revenue, he had to ask clearly about anything related to the Ministry of War.

The emperor glanced at him, "After breaking down the city and looting for a day, they probably won't be able to take the money. Who cares about military pay! Those corrupt officials in Canglan Kingdom have already prepared military pay for me!"

Having said this, a thought suddenly popped into the emperor's mind.

The garrisons stationed in various places sent five thousand elite troops to support. Are they sincerely supporting Gu Zhen, or are they optimistic that Gu Zhen can break the city and want to make a profit...

Gee...

No matter what, as long as we can capture Canglan in one fell swoop, our reign will be worry-free for at least three generations!What's more, if Canglan falls, South Vietnam and Liaodong will not dare to have any small ideas for at least several decades!
In this world, he can rest easy and leave it to Xiao Yu!
The things to be ordered were given in a flash, and everyone took the order and left. The emperor stood up, with a restless breath all over his body, and paced back and forth on the smooth marble floor of the imperial study.

While gearing up, there is full of ambition and hesitation!

He originally thought that his career as an emperor would be mediocre after the battle of Miao Territory. Although he had no achievements and no faults, it was unexpected that Gu Zhen actually created for him such a vigorous and prosperous age that was unprecedented and unprecedented. War situation.

Such a stroke, which was recorded in the annals of history by historians, was simply the most dazzling feature of his reign.

A battle of this scale brought him praises for the ages.

The Emperor's heart was surging, and it was difficult to calm down. In addition, the anger in his heart over the past few days due to Mo Jin's incident had all dissipated at this moment, and his blood was even more boiling.

The person who was more passionate than the emperor was Dong Ce.

As soon as he left the imperial study, he sent his entourage home to report to Bai Yuetang that he was safe, then inquired about Xiao Yu's whereabouts and went straight to Concubine Hui's palace.

When Dong Ce passed by, the conversation between Concubine Hui and Xiao Yu happened to end. Xiao Yu was about to get up and leave when he suddenly saw Dong Ce rushing in wearing armor. Xiao Yu was startled, "You are exaggerating, no?" It’s just a suit of armor, you wear it wherever you go! When did you come back?”

Ignoring Xiao Yu's teasing, Dong Ce hurriedly saluted Concubine Hui and said with joy, "I'm going to fight alongside Mr. Gu!"

Excited, he grabbed Xiao Yu's hand, shook it up and down, and repeated: "I'm going to fight alongside Mr. Gu!"

Xiao Yu's face was sprayed with saliva.

Xiao Yu suddenly... "You must have been wearing armor and your brain was damaged! Lord Gu Hou will return in triumph soon. Where are you going to fight side by side!" As he said this, Dong Ce struggled to grab his hand. He took out his hand, wiped his face, and muttered to Concubine Hui, "Concubine, I was sprayed with saliva. Are there any dark spots on your face?"

Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't take his words seriously, Dong Ce jumped up anxiously, "Seriously, I just came out of the imperial study. Lord Gu gathered [-] elite soldiers and went straight from Liaodong to Canglan. Your Majesty Send me to deliver military supplies to Lord Gu!"

As soon as he said these words, Xiao Yu, who had a casual expression just now, suddenly changed his expression, and suddenly became serious, "What did you say?"

Concubine Hui couldn't help but be shocked. She heard the emperor say yesterday that Gu Zhen had won a great victory in the Liaodong battle and would return to the court soon. How could he go to Canglan and return hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers... As far as she knew, Gu Zhen returned from Canglan that day. When we marched from Kyoto, we didn't take away even 10 people. After a fierce battle, how could we have [-] elite soldiers?

Could it be that the prisoners from Liaodong were captured to charge up the army... It would cost over [-]... maybe all the soldiers in Liaodong were captured, right?
He frowned and looked at Dong Ce.

Seeing that Concubine Hui and Xiao Yu finally listened to him attentively, Dong Ce breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair opposite Xiao Yu, poured himself a cup of hot tea, raised his head and drank it all, and then talked about what happened in the imperial study. He said, "...why Lord Gu suddenly rushed to Canglan, I don't know. Anyway, people from all walks of life are gathering in Canglan, and they are about to flatten Canglan, and I, as the captain of the material escort, , I will go to Canglan and fight side by side with Master Gu!"

Dong Ce was full of pride.

Xiao Yu's heart twitched when Dong Ce mentioned the young man who led the wolf pack to the battlefield... That child, if nothing else, is Gu Yuqing's younger brother and Gu Zhen's legitimate son!
