Hong Chengchou was extremely angry in his heart, but he couldn't really ask Shang Fang's sword to push out the generals who committed the following crimes, if he dared to turn his face, these guys would definitely dare to lead the troops to rebel immediately!

Just when Hong Chengchou didn't know how to explain to these generals, Zu Dashou spoke again: "Presumably Lord Fu is also very embarrassed!" In this way, even Lord Governor probably doesn't know when the imperial court will be able to allocate the food!

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is our duty to guard the border for the country, and it is the duty of the last general, but the difficulties of the last generals, I also hope that the governor can understand one or two, the current shortage of food and salary is serious, and if there is no salary, it is better to say some, but the matter of grain and straw will definitely not be delayed!

At the end of the day, the general heard about one thing, saying that Xiao Tianjian, the thief of the Heavenly Punishment Heaven, told the world that he was willing to provide us with 20,000 stone of food, so that we and other generals guarding the border could be fed and have the strength to resist the entry of the Jiannu army. If the Governor knows, then please give me an idea of how to do this today! ”

Hong Chengchou heard it, and got it! This is to the point, these guys came over this time, and it was really because of this matter that he was forced to take an idea, so he reached out and touched the beard on his chin, and groaned again, after a long time, he nodded and admitted that he already knew about it, but he thought that this matter was a demonic rumor to confuse the public, and it was not credible, as a Ming courtier, how could they rely on the help of the thief army, so he thought that he would rather hold on a little longer, and not believe the words of the thief.

Zu Dashou stopped doing it when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said, "Please atone for your sins!" Zu is a rough man! Speaking straightforwardly, the last general in this matter does not dare to agree with the words of the adults, now the court knows that we have no food and no salary, and the construction of slaves is about to enter the prison, but the court has never been able to take out a little food and salary to give us these soldiers and generals, no pay is enough, the enemy can also understand the difficulties of the imperial court, but if there is no food, even if the last general and others are immortals, I am afraid that they will not be able to lead the army to resist the army of Jiannu here!

At present, since the imperial court has neither issued an order to give us an explanation, nor can it allocate grain to us, since the thief is willing to provide us with 20,000 stone of grain to solve our urgent needs, why don't we just sit idly by?

In dealing with Jiannu, the last general thought that although the thief was a thief, but also knew that Jiannu was the enemy of our Han people, Chongzhen eleven years, they went north to fight to the death in Jiannu, and then did not mention it! In short, the thief did a good job in this matter! Although we are the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, we should avoid suspicion, but now if we don't accept the grain provided by the thief army, how can we fight against the Jiannu army? You can't sit back and watch the army collapse, let Jiannu break through the pass so easily and go straight to the city of Jingshi!

On the other hand, although we received the grain and straw provided by the thief army, it was still the border of the imperial court that was protected, and it was still for the Ming court, so what was wrong? I also hope that Lord Governor Fu can not take care of so much, and now solve the problem of food in the army first! ”

After hearing this, the generals immediately nodded their heads in agreement, making it clear that it was the same idea as Du and Zu Dashou, this time Hong Chengchou promised to agree, and if he didn't agree, he had to agree, anyway, in a word, if there was no food, this battle would not be able to be fought!

After Hong Chengchou heard this, although he was very angry, he wanted to shoot the case several times and scolded Zu Dashou angrily, and pushed Zu Dashou out and cut him, but in the end he had to press his anger and listen to Zu Dashou finish speaking.

In fact, Zu Dashou has an indescribable feeling about Xingtianjun, although he also thinks that Xingtianjun is a traitor, but to some extent he does not hate Xingtianjun very much, you must know that his cousin Zu Dale and his family Ding Zukuan have fought with Xingtianjun in Henan, but they were all defeated in the hands of Xiao Xingtian, and were captured alive by Xingtianjun, Xiao Xingtian could have killed them mercilessly, but in the end Xiao Tianjian secretly released them, and sent someone to escort them back to Shanxi, gave them road funds to entangle, let them quietly return to the outside of the pass, and the court also because of this matter, for the sake of his face, did not pursue it too much, in this matter, the Xingtian thieves are kind to their ancestors, so Zu Dashou has a very complicated mood towards the Xingtian Army, and it is impossible to say whether he is hostile or should have a good impression of them.

But at least in the matter of Liaodong, Zu Dashou is very much in agreement with Xiao Tianjian's opinion, Xiao Tianjian at the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen brazenly led troops north to help the imperial court to join the Jiannu army, when this matter spread to the outside of the Guan, Zu Dashou once applauded this, they Liaodong generals sat back and watched Jiannu enter the Kou, but could not stop it, but Xiao Xingtian in the southern area of Jingfu fought the Jiannu army all over the place to find teeth, and hurriedly ran to Shandong, which made him have to look at the Xingtian army with admiration.

Later, the imperial court negotiated peace with Jiannu, and ceded Jinzhou City to Jiannu, Zu Dashou had strongly opposed, but in the end, the wood was completed, and the imperial court decree was pressed down, so he had to give up his ancestral family to run and guard Jinzhou City for nearly ten years, in this matter, so that Zu Dashou was very, very disappointed in the imperial court, and Xiao Xingtian announced the world, not recognizing the peace treaty between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, saying that the land of Liaodong outside the Guanxi is the land of the Chinese Han people, which also makes Zu Dashou very resonant.

Now that the Jiannu army is pressing, the imperial court is unable to allocate food and salary for them to use these Guanning troops, and at this time, it is Xiao Xingtian, who has ascended the throne in Nanjing City, to tell the world that he can give up the hostility with the Guanning army, send food to aid them these Guanning army, and solve the problem of lack of food in the Guanning army, which makes Zu Dashou very admirable, and ordinary people will never consider helping them at this time, the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to build slaves, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy! It's good that these Guanning soldiers were killed by Jiannu! In the future, he Xiao Tianjian will have one less strong opponent! However, this Xiao Tianjian still gave up his prejudices at this time and expressed his willingness to provide food to help them overcome the dilemma of lack of food, which shows that Xiao Tianjian is an outstanding person!

Therefore, this time, under the instigation of the generals, he took the lead in finding Hong Chengchou and forced Hong Chengchou to accept the grain provided to them by the Xingtian Army, if not for anything else, just for the robes who have died under the Jiannu knife over the years, Zu Dashou also felt that Cheng Xiao Tianjian was in love, and he didn't want to look at these Guanning troops under his command, just because of lack of food and salary, and finally completely collapsed in front of the Jiannu Army without fighting.

People are sometimes, they are selfish, in history, Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou both surrendered to Jiannu, and became the second minister and traitor who was scolded by thousands of people in later generations, but at least at this time, they surrendered Jiannu without considering it, and the situation at that time was that they were surrounded in Songshan and were captured after being defeated in battle, and then they surrendered to Jiannu under their selfish thoughts after completely despairing of Daming, so sometimes carefully consider their situation, there are both hateful places, but they are also excusable. What's more, after Zu Dashou surrendered to Jiannu, he did not act as the vanguard of Jiannu's attack on the Central Plains like Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and other big traitors.

Seeing that all the generals had this thought, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh again and again in his heart, now the generals have formed a consensus and want to accept the food of the torture thief, and in fact, they are also in urgent need of these food to meet the needs of the army, otherwise they will soon lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of food.

This is also forced by the situation, they can't help but have other choices, and Zu Dashou, the old man, has a good saying, that is, they can eat the food given to them by the thief army, but they are still protecting the border of the Ming Dynasty, or guarding the border for the Ming Dynasty, which is not bad!

So although Hong Chengchou was reluctant in his heart, but in the end, he was forced by the cruel facts, and had to put down his shelf, nodded and agreed, and ordered Yang Guozhu to receive the grain provided to them by the thieves in Xuanda, and then quickly transferred it to the army, with food, at least it can stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time recruit some Han people in Guanning and Liaodong to strengthen the strength of the guard, this battle can always be fought, and they can always hold on for a while.

But Hong Chengchou still asked Yang Guozhu to accept the food of the Xingtian thief, but he would never allow the Xingtian thief to enter the territory of Xuanda.

As for the reaction of the imperial court, he Hong Chengchou can't take care of it at this time, so why don't you like it! You don't have food to give, so you can't just let so many soldiers starve to death!

So in a few days, on the road north of Xuanda, a steady stream of carts full of grain began to appear, under the escort of a small number of Xingtian Army, began to enter the territory of Datong Mansion, and outside the Yanmen Pass in the south of Datong Mansion, these grains and even carts and mules and horses were handed over to Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanda, who was waiting here, and then replaced people to drive these vehicles and continued to transport them to the Shanhaiguan area.

This matter soon spread to the Jingshi, and immediately made Zhu Youzhen Longyan furious, and scolded Hong Chengchou and the generals of Guanning in the palace for being rebels and thieves, and actually colluding with the Xingtian thieves, and even wanted to issue an order to remove Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, and replace him to take over the defense of Shanhaiguan.

But he only moved this thought, and then gave up, because he also knew that Hong Chengchou was probably the most capable minister in his Ming Dynasty at the moment, and now Jiannu had begun to send troops south, approaching the front line of Shanhaiguan, where the war was imminent, and the change of generals in the battle must be self-defeating, and Hong Chengchou was not allowed to accept the food of the torture thief, and he transferred so much food from there to these Guanning soldiers? Now that there is a serious food shortage in Jingshi, people who starve to death are transported out of the capital every day, and he has no way, where can he get food for Hong Chengchou? There are still many officers and soldiers in the Guanning area, and he can't give an order to let these officers and soldiers tighten their belts, and they can't ask for the food given to them by the Xingtian Army, so that they can go hungry to resist the invasion of the Jiannu army!

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, he is the emperor is miserable enough, he is about to run out of food, and he can't take out money and food to feed the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and now he can't help but let these officers and soldiers think of some way by themselves, some people are willing to give, they are willing to ask, he, the emperor, is no longer a key issue, so he is angry and angry, but Zhu Youzhen really has no choice, and he can only acquiesce in this matter.
