In Fengtian City in the early summer of the first year of Xingyuan, the surrounding lakes and trees around the ditches all emerged with lush green, and the entire Liangshan where Qianling Mausoleum was located was full of green color.

In the meeting hall of the bell tower in the city, Emperor Li Shi was anxious again.

The soldiers of the King of Telecom inside and outside the city, whether they were Gao Chongwen's Shen Ce Army or Jingyuan and Shuofang soldiers who came here, have begun to complain and make strange words in the camp these days:

"The meals are almost over, and the miscellaneous rewards and spring clothes have not yet been settled. If I had known this, I would rather surrender to Li Huaiguang's Changwu Army."

The soldiers were just talking. During this period, they quietly passed through Xianyangyuan and ran to Li Huaiguang or Li Xilie, and there were four or five hundred people.

Sometimes when Li Shi reported this way, he could only turn a blind eye to the emperor.

The reason is of course that there is a shortage of food and money supply, and Li Shi has no confidence to deal with these incidents.

What's more, some ministers began to complain. They missed the beautiful Chang'an in spring and summer, half of the city, half of the city flowers, and then hang prostitutes to visit various scenic spots and temples. How great is it! In this Fengtian City, there is nothing else except the stinky military soldiers and craftsmen, beacon towers, war sheds, and various fortifications in the city walls.

However, complaining was useless. The Duzhi Department of the imperial court could not operate normally. The 560,000 stag of money and rice sent from Shu had been consumed in less than a month (mainly due to the previous arrears). Now that all Li Shi's counterattack plan wanted to be truly implemented, he could only wait for news from Shangjin Road.

Now Li Shi wishes to issue dozens of edicts in a day.

He asked Lu Zhi to transfer food from Jingyuan and Fengxiang as soon as possible. Duan Xiushi agreed to send 100,000 stones of winter wheat, but he was still waiting for the harvest to be completed;

He kept sending letters to Fengxing, Xingyuan, Xichuan, Dongchuan and Banan, asking if the food has arrived, the money has arrived, and the silk has arrived?

He also sent letters to Liu Yan and Han Huan through the post office on Shangjin Road, asking them to overcome difficulties as much as possible, and together with Li Mi, Du You, Cui Kuan, Cao Wanggao and other local governors, send more food here, and I will never forget your contribution;

The emperor even sent a letter to Masui in Hedong, asking for food and money, which made Masui unhappy. He could only squeeze out 20,000 stones of grain and 10,000 stag of money from the military mansion, and asked his brother Ma Xuan to escort it, and around the Shizhou road, and sent it to Fengtian City.

What the emperor was most concerned about was Li Sheng from Dongwei Bridge. Now this Shen Ce Camp has 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops, and has also received the food sent from Caohe. The main reason for the return of Chang'an City is that he has to rely on him. The emperor kept sending envoys to urge him, but Li Sheng's answer was: Your Majesty is at ease, and when the time comes to late Xia, I will definitely send troops.

So when Wang Shao, the judge of the salt and iron transfer from Biandong, came to the lobby to ask for a visit to the emperor through the city gates, Li Shi stood up suddenly, his shoulders swayed excitedly, and his eyes couldn't help but become wet.

"This time, I will supervise the custody of 800,000 stag and 110,000 stag of light goods and 100,000 stag of grain..."

Before Wang Shao could finish reporting, "Good, very kind!" Li Shi's voice almost exploded, and the emperor was hoarse at his voice. He walked down quickly, patted Wang Shao's shoulder with his hands, and then rubbed the salt and iron judge's hand, trembling with his lips, excited, relieved, and various complex emotions.

Then the emperor stood up again and pointed at Huo Zhongtang and Tan Zhizhong, "Go, go, come quickly and get the bronze map. I now have food and spring clothes, so I can counterattack Chang'an!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" All the ministers in the hall all congratulated each other.

Li Shi in the center of the lobby also smiled, her shoulders kept shaking, her sleeves, and then she repeatedly shouted words like "Get the bronze map quickly" and "You can counterattack Chang'an."

Several ministers, such as Yan Zhenqing, Xiao Xin, Xiao Fu, etc., shook their heads secretly:

Alas, Your Majesty is so miserable, isn’t it because he is so happy?

Zhang Yanshang, who had arrived in Fengtian City before, hung his beard and said nothing.

But then Wang Shao hurriedly said, "I am afraid of Your Majesty's concern, so I will report the news first with the two of you. It will take five days for rice, grain, money and silk to arrive in Fengtian."

"!" Hearing this, the emperor curled his smile, arched his back, turned his head suddenly, staring at Wang Shao like a wild cat, panting and looking at him. Due to his ups and downs, his fingers were involuntarily spreading, unable to close at all, and kept shaking.

Seeing the emperor's expression, the ministers were all frightened to death and looked at each other.

After a while, the emperor laughed again, feeling a little nervous, and said nothing, five days later, his tone was a little stiff, "Will Wei Qing and Gao Qing come?"

"The Wei army envoy and Gao Shaoyin are here, and the food and money are escorted by them, so they will definitely be fine." Wang Shao replied.

"I'm waiting here, it doesn't matter, I'm waiting here..." The emperor sat down again at this time, trying to make himself look calm.

"Saint Lord." At this time, several middle-level officials such as Huo Zhongtang and Tan Zhizhong came with bronze pictures.

"Let this go, let this go, I will make a decision after Wei Qing and Gao Qing come."

In this way, the emperor ended the day of waiting in Fengtian City. There was no discussion between the monarch and his ministers. Everyone was waiting for five days. The emperor who returned to the yard was obviously in a good mood, and the words "five days later" were muttering in his mouth.

"Master." Tang An, Yiyang, and several other princesses saw His Majesty turn to the screen and all stood up to say goodbye.

Looking at his daughters, Li Shi bit his lip, and then he looked at Princess Tang An Li Xuanshu.

Xuanshu was a little uneasy.

Then he stepped forward and stared at Princess Yiyang and the younger Princess Deyang, etc., which made these people feel terrified.

"After returning to Chang'an City, I will definitely marry you all out in a grand manner." The emperor said sadly and sincerely, "You see that there are only aristocratic families, and you see that there are only aristocratic families. Even if you are a wise official, I will not stop you."

"Master!" Several princesses couldn't help but threw themselves into their father's arms, and some immediately started crying.

Li Shi, who hugged her daughters, also shone with tears in her eyes and raised her back.

Five days later, Gao Yue and Wei Gao's team entered the city, and the 800,000 jin of money and more than 100,000 jin of food were also in place.

Inside and outside Fengtian City, there were soldiers standing cheering and cheering, and welcoming Gao Yue and Wei Gao who were riding on their horses.

These two men not only saved Fengtian City, the emperor and his army, but also saved the entire Tang Dynasty.

When he came to pay a visit, Li Shi held Gao Yue with one hand and Wei Gao with the other, which was inexplicably moved.

"Wei Qing, Gao Qing, let's discuss the counterattack of the capital directly!"

Who would have thought that Gao Yue made a cautious advice:

"This matter is very important. How can Your Majesty discuss with us and the two or three sons? Please gather together in the bell tower lobby to discuss the prime minister and military envoy."

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said that it is definitely necessary to discuss in the lobby, but our monarch and ministers can first communicate and simulate the strategy of counterattacking the capital.

Sighing, Gao Yue knew that the emperor had not signed in front of the bronze map for a long time, and was as thirsty as a child who was addicted to games.
