"The emperor seems to be waiting for someone to fight this war."

After saying this, the entire study suddenly became quiet.

Nan Yan raised his head and saw Zhu Feng also looking at her. His eyes flashed. At that moment, many emotions seemed to flash over, but they were fleeting. The only expression that left a identifiable expression on his face was the faint smile on the corner of his lips that was slightly curled up.

This smile made the quiet atmosphere seem less dull.

Nan Yan subconsciously said: "Master?"

Zhu Feng said: "Okay, don't eat or sleep or not. If you don't talk, you will have nothing to eat, right? Eat quickly!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and started to eat on his own.

Nanyan frowned.

They have never taken this sentence seriously in recent years, and they have quarreled while eating, but at this time they are concerned about what food and sleep.

Nan Yan looked at him for a while and saw that Zhu Feng had made up his mind to ignore him. She pouted and didn't say much, and lowered her head and started to eat.

But Nanyan was sure of something in his heart - Zhu Feng did not intend to command this war himself.

At least he would not join the war as rashly as he was when he was in Shazhou Guard.

Moreover, he is indeed waiting for someone.

Early the next morning, the convoy of the king of Yue Kingdom extended for several miles and slowly drove into Doubei Town. This town, which was originally unstable due to the war, completely turned into a focus of attention.

In addition to the officials who were gloomy and unhappy, what made Chen Wenxiao happy the most was food and grass.

After Chen Biri's death, in order to cover up his eyes, Li Wushang defined his and Chen Wenxiong's death as sacrifice for the country. Although everyone did not understand how the two people who died in their own houses could be considered sacrifice for the country, they were already dead. In addition, their only Chen Wenxiao joined the new king's command, so there was no need to say much extra words. The Chen Mansion fell directly into Chen Wenxiao's hands and became a temporary residence for the king to come to supervise the war.

Although time is tight, Chen Wenxiao also arranged this place very gorgeously and comfortably.

He thought that this was the loyalty and importance he showed for the first time as a minister who had the merit of support and received the king. However, after Li Wushang came, he couldn't help but frown when he saw the gorgeous decorations of the Manchu Mansion. He coughed lightly, sat on the chair in the conference hall, and said heavily: "In the future, these gorgeous decorations are not necessary. In Daluo City, I found that the waste and extravagance in the palace was also very serious. If the whole country was like this, even if there were mountains of gold and silver, it would be endless."

Chen Wenxiao immediately said: "I know the crime."

Li Wushang waved his hand lightly.

After he ascended the throne, he killed several ministers and captured many wealthy families in the country, and he also complained. Among the civil and military officials, there were many dissatisfied with him. Now, he still needs to win over this minister who has the merit of supporting him and has heavy troops under him.

So, the rebuke was not too serious, and he asked directly: "I have read the battle report you sent a few days ago."

Chen Wenxiao lowered his head and said, "I am incompetent."

Li Wushang looked at him for a while and said, "I have brought you food, but this has emptied the national treasury. You should know in your heart that the people here will consume tens of thousands of stones of food a day. If you can't capture it for a long time, let alone the situation in Yan State, there will be chaos in the middle of the country."

Chen Wenxiao immediately said: "I understand that the war here is very important, so after I led the troops, I launched several battles, but Yanguo——"

Li Wushang said, "But they have a small fight with you?"

"yes,"

Chen Wenxiao's face was gloomy and said, "Weichen thinks they did it on purpose."

“How to say it?”

"Every time the ministers are prepared thoroughly. When they start a war, they often stay away from their doors. Even if they come to fight, they are just perfunctory. Both sides are not suffering much, and even dozens of people are killed or injured in one battle. However, when the ministers are still in a truce, they will send troops to provoke. But when we go out to fight, they retreat very quickly."

“…”

"This situation has been going on for more than half a month."

“…”

"So, the food is consumed so quickly."

Li Wushang originally knew the situation here, but when he heard Chen Wenxiao say this, the darkness in his heart became deeper.

He said: "What do you think of Yanguo's actions?"

Chen Wenxiao looked up at Li Wushang, and after a while, he said softly: "I suspect that they did this to consume our food. I believe that they even knew that our country was short of food."

Li Wushang's breathing was suffocated.

Now, the most serious problem on his head is not the war in front of him, but the problem of food. Moreover, the origin of the problem of food has always made him very uneasy.

Now, Chen Wenxiao's words seemed to completely poke open the window paper that he dared not penetrate.

Yan Guo knew this, so he was always attacking this accurately.

But--

Seeing Li Wushang's eyebrows twisted into a lump, his face became even more gloomy and even the few candles in the room could not be illuminated. Although Chen Wenxiao was also his confidant minister, he was also a little breathless by the low breath of the new king at this time. However, he still had to say what he should say, and he said softly: "But, I am not sure why they knew."

“…”

"For the past ten years, they have been transporting food here. It was not until this time when Xiahou Jiu sent troops that they cut off the food route."

“…”

Li Wushang was silent for a long time before saying, "No need to mention this matter."

Chen Wenxiao looked up at him: "Ah?"

Li Wushang said: "Whether they know or not, things have come to this point now. The only thing you have to do is to win this battle for me. I have brought all civil and military officials, and I am afraid that the front-line war will change, and they will talk nonsense in the court. But now, everyone has arrived in Doubei Town, and there are only a few hundred pairs of eyes staring at you, and you cannot lose."

“…”

"If you and I want to stand firm, you must win this battle."

Chen Wenxiao immediately said, "I understand."

“…”

"This time, I must succeed in the battle."
