Chapter 551
Qi Lei took a step forward and said with an unusually solemn expression, "General, there are less than [-] weapons and spears in the warehouse, less than [-] long knives and short knives, less than [-] arrows, less than [-] crossbows, and [-] shields. Two thousand armor, one hundred barrels of kerosene, one hundred trebuchets, rolling wood and rolling stones, etc., about five thousand.

As for the food, it can only last for about February at most, and this year's supply food has not yet been delivered by the imperial court. "

Hearing this, Liu Yanqing's face was extremely ugly, and his brows were tightly frowned. Leaving aside the food, once a war started, the weapons stored in the warehouse would not be enough for consumption.

"General, once the war starts, how can there be enough of these stocks? It's just a drop in the bucket."

Thinking of the [-] barbarian army north of the Liao River, Qi Lei couldn't help being anxious.

Liu Yanqing nodded. The inventory in the warehouse was too low. If they fought face to face with real guns and knives, they would not be able to fight for a few rounds. It would be a lie if they said they were not in a hurry.

Weapons and food are the most important things on the battlefield. If the supplies in the rear cannot keep up, it will be a very serious consequence, which will affect the outcome of the entire battle.

This matter is really urgent. Thinking of Liu Yanqing leaving Vice-General Pan here, the others waved their hands and left.

Sitting next to the book case, thinking for a while, he took up a pen and wrote the urgent memorial.

After a while, he sealed it tightly with wax and handed it to Deputy General Pan who was standing aside, "Pan Renqiang, send someone to send this memorial back to the capital as quickly as possible."

"Subordinates obey." Pan Renqiang also knew the importance of this memorial, so he accepted it with a serious face, and quickly turned and left the meeting hall.

Looking at Vice General Pan's leaving figure, to be honest, Liu Yanqing was very confused.

The current Holy Majesty has only wanted to enjoy himself these past few years, valuing literature over military affairs. If it hadn't been for the continuous reduction of military supplies here in the past few years, and the weapons have not been replenished for a long time, how could such a situation have occurred.

Thinking of this, Liu Yanqing was filled with grief and indignation, even the weapons in the warehouse were all saved from the past.

Alas, with such a serious situation now, I only hope that the ministers and the emperor will pay attention to it, otherwise the Dasang Kingdom will be in danger.

……

Wen Gu, who was riding a white horse, stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion when it was getting dark.

When he entered the General's Mansion, his face was covered with sweat, and his body was full of smudges. Several soldiers followed closely behind him. The difference was that the soldiers were much cleaner than their masters.

He handed the horse over to the servants in the house, and accompanied by the housekeeper, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

Wen Gu, who was lying naked in the bathtub, could clearly see that his body was much stronger. In a short period of time, his arm muscles protruded, his outline was clear, and he felt full of strength.

It is no longer the Wen Gu who used to be out of breath after walking a few steps.

"Butler Xi, is grandfather's food okay today?" Wen Gu glanced at Butler Xi who was waiting at the side.

"Master, the old general ate very well, and even ate two steamed buns for dinner." Xi Butler bowed and replied.

Hearing this, Wen Gu nodded reassuringly, and shrank back into the bathtub, feeling the temperature of the water.

Before dawn, he went to the martial arts field of the Wen family army outside the city, and stayed there for a whole day. During this time, it was like this almost every day, and he spent less and less time with his grandfather, and he still felt a little guilty.

These days, he worked so hard to let the Wen family army know that their current master is not an idiot, not a weak person who had no power to restrain a chicken before.

If you pay, you will be rewarded. The soldiers of the Thousand Wen Family Army in Kyoto were all defeated by him, and he was recognized and respected by everyone from the bottom of their hearts.

"Master, it's time to turn on the water and it's getting cold." Steward Xi interrupted Wen Gu's contemplation, waved his hand to get the servants who were serving on the side to step down, and helped the master put on the clothes himself.

After getting dressed, Wen Gu refused Steward Xi's follow-up, and walked straight to his grandfather's room.

"Grandfather, are you asleep?" Wen Gu called softly standing outside the door.

"Didn't come in." While speaking, the attendant guarding the outer room opened the door.

General Wen looked at the grandson who walked in, with slightly damp hair hanging down his back. It seemed that the child had just returned.

"Why don't you wring your hair completely dry before you come out." Looking at his grandson's wet hair, the general couldn't help frowning.

Hearing this, Wen Gu laughed, with an unusually warm smile, "Don't worry, grandfather, your grandson is as strong as a cow and won't get sick easily."

"Having said that, we can't take it lightly, we'd better pay attention." Today's shadow is too big, General Wen is still worried.

"I know grandfather." Wen Gu said obediently, there is no need to tangle with grandfather on this issue.

Seeing that his grandson didn't seem to be perfunctory to him, General Wen nodded in satisfaction.

"How did you go to the martial arts field today?" General Wen smiled and looked at his grandson.

"It's not bad. We won a big victory. Our grandson used our Wen family's marksmanship to defeat several cavalry captains."

General Wen glanced at his grandson, "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity. It's just the captains. There are many people who are better than them. In short, you can't slacken your daily martial arts training."

"Yes, my grandson knows," Wen Gu said seriously after hearing the words.

The grandfather and grandson were still talking a few words, and suddenly there was a voice from Butler Xi begging to see him outside the door.

What must have happened when Butler Xi asked to see him?
The grandfather and grandson stared at each other and their expressions became serious.

"Come in..." The general's old and thick voice rang in Steward Xi's ears.

The butler Xi who came in first saluted the old general respectfully, and then presented the letter tightly sealed with wax with both hands.

"Masters, this is an urgent letter sent by the Wen family army from the border."

"Where is the person who delivered the letter?" The general didn't open the letter immediately.

"Master, I'm waiting outside the door." Butler Xi replied respectfully.

The general nodded, lifted his feet and put his legs off the bed, and the attendants at the side hurried forward to help the general put on the brocade boots.

After putting on a large robe, the general walked out of the inner room to the outer room and sat on the soft couch, with Wen Gu standing aside.

"Let him in." The majesty of the general was revealed instantly.

"Yes" said Butler Xi walked quickly to the door and brought in the soldiers who were waiting outside.

"Greetings to the general, and the master." The soldier bowed on one knee without raising his head as soon as he entered the room.

"Get up, it's been a hard journey," General Wen said in a slowed down voice, looking at the exhausted soldiers with dusty faces and red eyes.

"Thank you, General, the little ones are not hard." The general's concern instantly excited the soldier.

This soldier really didn't expect that the war god of their Wen family would say hard work to such a small soldier like him, and the excitement in his heart could no longer be expressed in words.

"Tell me about the current situation in the frontier." The old, thick and majestic voice continued to sound.

"It's the general. The situation in the frontier is not good. The younger one has been delayed on the road for a few days. The younger one only knows that when the younger one came, the barbarian army had already stationed in the north of the Liao River, and it seemed that they would attack the city at any time."

Hearing that General Wen's expression is still not too surprised, there are already traces of such things, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

Looking at the dusty soldiers in front of him, he said to Steward Xi, "It's good to treat this soldier and let him have a good night's rest."

Butler Xi accepted the order with his fists folded, and led the messenger out of the general's bedroom.

After the two left, General Wen opened the urgent letter, scanned it quickly, and handed the letter to Wen Gu who was beside him.

The situation is basically consistent with what the messenger said, but the description is more detailed, and the plight of the Bianchui garrison is also included.

Don't ask him what the Wen family's army knows about the situation of the troops stationed in the border areas. The Wen family has been standing for more than 100 years, so there is naturally a Wen family's intelligence network.
