Chapter 69 Recruiting the Frontier (Sixth)

Ge Lijun felt some unknown feeling in his heart and shouted in a deep voice: "I am asking you what I want!"

A confidant general of his grudges raised his head and said, "Grand, sir, they... they all entered the city."

Before Ge Lijun could react, he thought he had attacked the city and was surprised, "You have broken the city? OK! When you return to Leizhou, I will give you a reward for your merits."

The general swallowed, "He... they all mutiny."

The surprise on Ge Lijun's face instantly frozen on his face.

Then, his face gradually became stiff, and his words were filled with a strong murderous intent, "What did you say?"

No matter how close the general is, he is afraid that he will be killed by the angry Ge Lijun, so he dare not give another answer.

Ge Lijun's hands trembled slightly, and he was already extremely angry at this time. If he hadn't been calm, he would have been afraid that he would have been unable to withstand this impact and fell off his horse.

After a few minutes, he forced the rage to suppress it and ordered him to say, "Take them down and behead them all!"

The generals of the state guarding the state immediately changed their faces and quickly dismounted and knelt down and begged for mercy.

The military advisor whispered beside him: "Sir, it's probably inappropriate to kill the generals at the last minute."

Ge Lijun waved his hand impatiently, "Their soldiers all mutiny, what's the use of asking them?"

Dozens of personal troops rushed out from left and right, and all of these generals were chopped down to the ground.

Blood flowed to the feet of Ge Lijun's war horse. He looked down and was stunned.

In fact, he didn't want to kill the generals at the last minute, but if he didn't kill these trash, he couldn't swallow the tone in his heart.

After a while, he said coldly: "Camp on the spot!"

Although his voice was sharp, he no longer had the same impulse as before. Undoubtedly, the mutiny of the three armies also had a great blow to his confidence.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng led their troops to gather in the southeast corner, but they did not see this scene.

The surrendered Yuan army in the city became a little nervous when they saw Zhang Hongfan's handsome appearance.

By the evening, nearly 30,000 soldiers and soldiers had already set up camp outside the palace to create fire and cook.

In the city, bursts of rice fragrance were also spreading.

Zhao Dongting decided to fight to the end and sent these Leizhou soldiers who had just surrendered to help defend. At the same time, of course, he also wanted to prevent the surrendered soldiers of the Yuan army. He had no choice now, and could only trust these Leizhou soldiers who surrendered, otherwise the palace would be destroyed sooner or later.

"emperor!"

At this time, he, Le Chan and others were having a meal in the room, but Lu Xiufu arrived hurriedly with a little anxiety on his face.

He was the leader of civil officials, and Zhao Dongting gave him full responsibility for all logistics matters.

Seeing him hurrying in, Zhao Dongting asked, "Why is Lord Lu so anxious?"

Lu Xiufu said: "The money and grain officials just came to report that nearly 30,000 people suddenly increased in the city. I am afraid that the food and grass will not last long."

He was naturally anxious about this matter. When marching and fighting, everyone had to fill his stomach. If the food and grass were cut off, even if the soldiers did not mutiny, their morale would plummet.

Zhao Dongting put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly, "How many more days can he last?"

Lu Xiufu pondered: "Even if you are careful in your calculations, you will probably have to last for five days at most. After five days, you will inevitably lose food."

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Dongting heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed a lot and said, "Five days, that should be almost done. You should first press the news firmly, and distribute the food as much as you should, so you don't need to save it, so as not to worry the soldiers."

Lu Xiufu was slightly stunned, and then said happily: "Can the emperor already have a good plan to retreat to the enemy?"

Zhao Dongting smiled, but did not answer, but just picked up the chopsticks to eat again.

This has passed two days.

Outside the palace city, Zhang Hongfan's army remained as motionless as a mountain, but he only practiced daily to intimidate the palace.

In the palace city, Zhao Dongting ignored it. The soldiers also defended as usual, because Lu Xiufu concealed it, so no one knew about the shortage of food and grass.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were anxious and wanted Ge Lijun to launch an attack. They had the two of them designed to make the surrendered soldiers of the Yuan army turn against each other and earn credit. However, Ge Lijun suffered the loss of the mutiny of the three armies, but he refused to send troops to attack the city no matter what, and made up his mind to survive until the food in the palace was out of stock.

At sea, Qi Shucai led the warship to hundreds of meters away from the Flying Army and stared at it at all times.

Liu Hongyi led the soldiers to practice on the boat, ignoring him. He always remembered Zhao Dongting's order to keep him from moving.

However, he was also slightly anxious now. Because they only brought three days of food when they set off, and they were about to lose food at this time.

Ge Lijun could have a fleet of ships to deliver food from Leizhou Prefecture, but he didn't. He even thought about whether he would lead his army to fight Qi Shucai's bloody battle and then rob Ge Lijun's grain transport fleet.

But I don’t know what happened. Until sunset, Ge Lijun’s fleet still stopped appearing on the sea.

Liu Hongyi was puzzled in his heart. Logically speaking, the rest of the military horses of Ge Lijun should have been close to being out of food.

He didn't know that in the Leizhou Army Commander's tent, Ge Lijun was more anxious than him at this time.

Ge Li stood in the tent, and the money and grain officials were kneeling in front of him.

He kept asking: "Where is the grain and grass? Why has the grain and grass not arrived yet?"

The officials of several money and grain were unable to answer. They were only responsible for distributing food in the army, and they didn't know why Leizhou Prefecture had not sent food and grass yet.

The military advisor whispered from the side: "Stop being angry, I have sent several waves of scouts, and it should be here soon."

As he was speaking, a shout suddenly sounded outside the door, "Report!"

A scout rushed to the tent in a mess, but fell to the ground because of anxiety.

Seeing this, Ge Lijun's face changed slightly and asked, "Does there be any news coming back? Why has the food and grass been delayed?"

The scout gasped and said, "Sir, things are not going well. Xiliu Ferry Crossing was captured by the enemy, and all the food and grass were robbed."

Ge Lijun's forehead suddenly sweated, his face was pale, and then he said with a strong ventricular vent: "How dare you pretend to report military information? The enemy troops were besieged by our army in the palace. Where did the enemy troops come from at Xiliu Ferry?"

The scout replied: "Yes, it is the banner of the Song army. The flag is inlaid with words."

"arts……"

Ge Lijun suddenly collapsed on the ground, his face turned pale, and he closed his eyes slightly and said, "My Leizhou is over..."

The military advisor exclaimed from the side, "Can it be the soldiers of the right prime minister Wen Tianxiang!"

Sweat suddenly broke out on his face.

Then he kept thinking, "Is Prime Minister Wen not in Huizhou? How could he suddenly lead his army to Leizhou?"

But the scout saw with his own eyes that the word "wen..." on the flag was written, and he also knew that this matter was absolutely true.
