Chapter 94: The Arrival of Angels
When Chen Jue rushed to the rear camp in a hurry, Zhou Xingfeng ordered his soldiers to carry bags of military rations in an orderly manner, but the soldiers of the Shenwu Army guarding here were just watching with weapons in their hands, not daring to step forward to stop them.
At first they were very puzzled and even dissatisfied, but when these Jianghuai children heard that it was His Highness Yan's order, they didn't have time to react for a while, so they had to send someone to report to the head coach Chen Jue, while watching their hunger-filled objects being kept moving away to load the car.
"Zhou Tongjun!" Chen Jue was angry and anxious inside, and he quickly stepped forward with his face.
Seeing Zhou Xingfeng's face was cold and wearing armor and pressing his sword, and looking murderous intent, Chen Juocong calmed down and smiled stiffly, "Zhou Tongjun, what do you mean?"
After Zhou Xingfeng bowed in a formal manner, he was not as polite as before, but replied in a cold tone: "The minister, the last general is here to move away the food and grass according to the order of His Highness the King of Yan. Recently, our Crane Army has been attacking the city many times, and the amount of food storage is very expensive, and there is not much!"
Chen Jue was unhappy when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "What does your Highness mean? You control the He Army to eat food, but my Northern Expedition Army will not eat food? Now the army is trapped in the enemy country, which is the time when people's hearts are fluctuating. If it causes a mutiny by the soldiers, can you bear this responsibility? Zhou Tongjun, I will remind you that you have to be more cautious when you first arrived in our dynasty, and do not be used by anyone else in the future--"
"Otherwise, what? The last one will just do it according to orders." These slightly threatening words seemed to have no effect on Zhou Xingfeng.
Seeing this, Chen Jue couldn't help but angrily: "Even if His Highness Yan King has what power, how dare you touch the food and supplies of our Northern Expedition Army?"
"The minister, I will dare to ask, where did these foods come from?"
Chen Jue was confused and replied: "Of course it was transferred by the court..."
Zhou Xingfeng smiled inadvertently, and then bowed: "What the envoy said is exactly! When the army goes to war, the court naturally needs to allocate food and grass to accompany him. But as far as the general knows, the food and grass of the Northern Expedition Army are basically left after the battle of Xuzhou! And the food and grass in front of him are allocated by the court to the soldiers under the command of the King of Yan, so they are naturally controlled by His Highness the King of Yan. May I ask, Does Your Highness have the power to use these food and grass?"
"This..." Zhou Xingfeng's hidden deep words made Chen Jue speechless. What he said was indeed not false. Most of the food and supplies of the Northern Expedition Army had been burned completely under the city of Xuzhou. If it weren't for the sufficient food and grass carried by King Li Hongji of Yan, Chen Jue's army might have starved to death long ago and the soldiers had already dispersed. Where did the current situation come from?
But Chen Jue still couldn't believe his eyes. No matter how secretly he fought with Li Hongji for several days, he could not have expected that Li Hongji would dare to order the food and supplies of the Northern Expedition Army to be cut off.
Whether it is the Crane Control Army or the Shenwu Army, they are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Li Hongji is so arrogant. If it triggers turmoil, wouldn’t it give Chen Jue a chance to participate in his book? For the prince who wants to compete for the position of crown prince, such a reckless move is really unwise!
Seeing that the granary was about to be transported out soon, Chen Jue couldn't help feeling a little panicked. He was in an enemy country at this time, and mutiny in the army was not a trivial matter. Li Hongji was young and energetic, and he was inevitably impulsive when doing things. Now he dared to order the food and grass to move away. Maybe he was so anxious that he had already had the idea of breaking the death of the fish. Then it would be a big deal if Chen Jue could go back...
So he couldn't help swallowing, deliberately eased his tone, and said meaningfully: "Zhou Tongjun, I am not questioning Your Highness's military orders, but I need to think twice about this matter! Once the army is cut off, the army's morale will be in turmoil and will inevitably be in chaos! If Your Majesty blames you in the future, Your Highness King Yan is His Majesty's parent-child, and you may be punished, but Zhou Tongjun may not be able to afford it! I am just worried about Zhou Tongjun..."
"Oh, I'll thank you for your help!"
Zhou Xingfeng seemed extremely impatient. After seeing his soldiers loading all the food and grass into a car, he immediately turned over and wanted to lead the army to leave.
"Let's wait!"
Chen Jue felt his chest was stuffy, and he was also angry that the Shenwu soldiers around him were unmoved. He grabbed Zhou Xingfeng's reins without any worries, and his eyes showed harshness and whispered: "Zhou Tongjun really wants to do his own thing? Does Your Highness think that this move will make me hand over the power of military power? Once the soldiers in the camp learned that it was the food that Your Highness ordered to be cut off, they would definitely vent their anger with Your Highness. What consequences will this cause? This matter is of great importance. Isn't Your Highness worried..."
Zhou Xingfeng always disagreed with the attitude and smiled indifferently: "If you use the prime minister, you will be a rough man, but you can't understand the meaning of the prime minister. If you have any objections, you can tell Your Highness yourself, why bother with the general?"
Then he murmured: "But Your Highness is busy with official duties at this time, and people are coming from the south today. Your Highness is summoning all the generals to meet with you..."
"A person from the south? Why didn't the original minister receive the report?"
While he was confused, Chen Jue was very excited. Has the court finally sent someone to pass the imperial edict? The dilemma was about to be revealed immediately.
But while excited, Chen Jue thought again, since the emperor ordered someone to come and pass the imperial edict, in theory, Li Hongji should not do this in front of the angel. Isn’t this a real person? If the emperor ordered the continued northern expedition, Li Hongji should come and pass the imperial edict with a arrogant attitude! Could it be that the emperor ordered the troops to go to the army? Li Hongji made such a bad decision out of helplessness, and tried to take advantage of his illness...
Yes! That must be true! King Yan, King Yan, you are too young. Since you are anxious, you just want to hold on to the handle! The only thing is that your master Zhou Xingfeng's mouth is too unrestrained next...
Chen Jue couldn't help but feel heartbroken, but at the same time he began to worry about Zhou Xingfeng in front of him, for fear that he would stop him, and said anxiously: "Zhou Tongjun, since the angel has arrived, as the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, I should go to the headquarters to meet!"
A ray of light flashed in Zhou Xingfeng's eyes, and then he frowned and said, "Isn't you seriously ill for many days? Your Highness also specifically instructed the last general to make the good friends and recuperate without going there..."
Chen Jue smiled contemptuously, raised his chest and said loudly: "The angel is here, I will be grateful to Emperor Mu! I suddenly feel relaxed all over and he is already healed at this time! What? Don't Zhou Tongjun believe it?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Jue had already thought of a solution to the situation. If Zhou Xingfeng really dared to stop him, he would not be afraid to tear his face. Now that the court has come to the court, the bigger the noise, the better, and Li Hongji will suffer more and more.
Seeing Chen Jue's decisive look, Zhou Xingfeng immediately looked helpless and shook his head and sighed: "Oh! How dare the general of the Mo to stop the general of the prime minister? Since the general of the king is determined to go, it is just right for the general of the Mo to escort it—"
"No need!" Chen Jue took a step back vigilantly, then pointed to the more than ten personal soldiers behind him, and said disdainfully: "Xia Pi City is not an enemy camp. There are also generals of our Northern Expedition Army in the headquarters. Why do you need the escort of the Zhou army? I have personal soldiers to go with you!"
Then he did not forget to add: "By the way, Zhou Tongjun, since you have come here under the order, now that all the food and grass are loaded into the car, then move it away quickly! After all, it was the order of Your Highness!"
