Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

The ministers were completely confused about Qi Sheng's intentions. Did he want war or peace?
Only the Minister of Household Affairs knows that although there is money in the treasury, only a million taels can really be used for the Eastern Border. Now it depends on whether the one who takes the lead can use the one million taels to negotiate peace, or whether the one who takes the lead can use the one million taels to fight a war.

A war is fought not only by the strategy of the generals, the bravery of the soldiers, but also by the strong logistical support. People are like iron, food is like steel, and the food and fodder for an army in one day is not a small amount. There is no difference between fighting a war and burning money.

After a war, a million taels of silver is nothing. Of course, peace talks are not enough!

The Prime Minister had already said it was impossible. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Shijing.

Ye Shijing took a step forward: "I am willing to fight!"

Qisheng Emperor said: "Ye Qing listens to the order. I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of Zhendong. You will lead 100,000 elite soldiers to take over the battlefield in the east. We will set off tomorrow!"

"I accept the decree!"

Xia Chixiao and Pei Shi'an asked for a fight at the same time, and Qisheng Emperor simply said: "Just leave matters in the East to Ye Qing!"

Fu Sitong glanced at Ye Shijing. He lost the battle between the main battle and the main peace.

However, Ye Shijing was too naive to want to fight a national war with a mere million taels of military resources.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers, plus one hundred thousand garrison troops in the east, and two hundred thousand people, would cost one million taels of silver in three months. How could a war be fought in three months?

Therefore, if he loses, Ye Shijing may not win.

As for Xia Haicheng, watching Ye Shijing take the order, his eyes were lowered and he suppressed what was in his heart.

The atmosphere in the court was depressing, but the expedition was a foregone conclusion. Qi Sheng Emperor had limited energy, so he retreated directly after making the decision.

The courtiers walked out one after another.

Fu Sitong looked at Ye Shijing, who had a calm face, and smiled: "I heard that Taifu Ye was also very graceful on the battlefield, but later he handed over military power and became Taifu. Now, he can actually reproduce his grace on the battlefield. ,congratulations!"

This sounds like a compliment, but the teasing and teasing elements in it are undisguised!
Ye Shijing glanced at him: "Well, I, Fu Wen, can be the Tutor, and Wu can be the General, but Prime Minister Fu is different. As a civil servant, I can only talk about peace talks, but I dare not go to the peace talks, so I still want this Tutor." Just take action. If the Prime Minister is willing to go to peace talks, I don’t have to make this trip!”

Fu Sitong: "..."

He and Ye Shijing had political disagreements, and they would argue in court from time to time.

Ye Shijing just wanted to compete with him in the court, but now he suddenly wanted to be a general. He sneered: "The master is so capable, I think he will be able to come back with a great victory in three months! I just didn't know that he had done this After many years as a civil servant, can Mr. Ye still dare to use the knife? "

"Then don't worry, Prime Minister!" Ye Shijing chuckled and left!

"Shuzi!"

The figure walking away from behind made Fu Sitong so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Ye Shijing is in her thirties and he is forty, which is actually not more than two years older.

Xia Haicheng came over quickly, stood side by side with Fu Sitong, and said, "Master Prime Minister, Taifu has always been arrogant, you don't have to be angry!"

Fu Sitong was unhappy in his heart and cursed Ye Shijing secretly, but there was no expression on his face: "Master Xiahou, you and I are of the same opinion. We both can't bear to see the war start and the people suffer, but the man named Ye only wants to make achievements for himself. , It’s really hateful to completely ignore the suffering of the people on the border!” Xia Haicheng smiled and said: “The prime minister is worried about the people, he is really a role model for us, but Ye Shijing wants to come forward. Leave it to him, if he suffers a defeat at the border, he will naturally understand the Prime Minister’s painstaking efforts!”

Fu Sitong glanced at him: "It's hard to predict whether he will win or lose this battle. If he loses, our Shang Qi's peace terms will probably be doubled or tripled. It's really sad!"

"If he loses, what shame will he have to return to the court? By then, no one will be able to oppose the Prime Minister!"

Fu Sitong snorted: "Are I, the Prime Minister, afraid of him?"

"That is to say, if he wins, with the afterglow of victory, I am afraid that the emperor will think more of him. At that time, his heart will inevitably be biased, and the prime minister's situation will be a little worse!"

Fu Sitong frowned.

Then he said coldly: "Tianze's ambition this time is that their regent, who is like a god in military skills, personally leads the troops. It's hard to decide whether Taifu Ye will win or lose!"

When he wants peace talks? Do you think he doesn't know how to protect the land and borders?
But the regent was famous all over the world for his military planning, literary skills and military strategies, and was invincible in every battle.

Ye Shijing was so stubborn. He fought in several battles when he was young, so he didn't know how high the sky was.

Fu Sitong thought, holding his breath again in his chest.

This strong man, out of anger and to compete with him, took the lead in the battle. How can a battle be so easy?
Xia Haicheng saw that he had a bad look on his face, so he smiled and said in a brisk tone: "However, the outcome of a war may not be determined by Ye Taifu. The Prime Minister has a lot to do!"

Fu Sitong turned his head: "What do you mean?"

"In a war, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first! But after all, the food and grass that go first is only a small part, and the majority will be continuously transported to the frontier later. What will happen during this transportation process is really unpredictable. , After all, the journey is so long!" Xia Haicheng smiled meaningfully.

Fu Sitong narrowed his eyes.

Xia Haicheng suppressed his smile and became gentle and elegant. He acted as if he had said nothing just now. He was polite and polite: "I hope the two countries can live in peace. The treasury of our Shangqi is indeed not very rich!"

After saying that, he left, walked far away, and then turned back. He saw Fu Sitong still there. A smile appeared on his lips, but his feet accelerated.

Ye Shijing left Beijing. There is a lot to do in the capital!
Tomorrow's expedition was in a hurry, which meant that Ye Shijing didn't even have time to return home to say goodbye to his wife and children.

He only sent the people around him to send a message to Mrs. Ye, and he and the Minister of War went to prepare the troops. They were busy all the time, and he didn't sleep a wink until the next day.

However, this elegant Tutor still had clear and sharp eyes and a straight back.

Mrs. Ye brought her children to see her off outside the city, and Chu Nanning came with her.

The march was about to take place and the time could not be delayed too long. Mrs. Ye and Ye Shijing did not exchange a few words. Chu Nanning was more direct. A team of people came over carrying more than a dozen boxes.

Chu Nanning said to Ye Shijing: "I will take good care of my uncle, aunt, and cousins. In these boxes are packed dry food. One piece can fill you up for a day at critical times. You can ask the soldiers to carry them with them. It doesn’t take up any space. If there’s more to come, I’ll send someone over to make sure you have one for everyone!”

The box was opened, and inside was a small package of something wrapped in oil paper. When the oil paper package was opened, it was very thin cake-like stuff, with three pieces in each oil paper package. And there are at least several hundred packages in a box.
