"Xiaotang. Who am I doing this for?"

Ji Xiaotang looked away and was secretly sure that Qin Zhen's skin was getting thicker and thicker. While thinking about this, Ji Xiaotang felt moved again.

It started when they met, but no longer polite greetings, but became this...

As she was secretly alert in her heart, Ji Xiaotang corrected her sight. She and Qin Zhen still had a lot of important things to talk about.

"What's the situation in Shu?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

This is almost the first question that Ji Xiaotang must ask every time Mr. Ji Er went to Xinhua Hall every time he went to court.

"...The war has begun. The war is still unclear." Qin Zhen also corrected his face and sat down opposite Ji Xiaotang.

The court would receive war reports from Shuzhong fast horses every few days. As his military order said, Qi Younian had already attacked the rebels in Shuzhong. The first time the two sides fought head-on. On the 25th day of the first lunar month, Qi Younian's army narrowly won and won Guangping.

The court was excited about this person. In the past, he thought that it was Qi Younian who took Shuzhong within three months, but now he thought that it would not take three months to take Shuzhong.

Whenever Ji Xiaotang heard such remarks, he was speechless and complained about Qi Younian.

However, she quickly learned to ignore these words.

Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are like this in many things, but there are some people who really listen to their words, seriously care about them, and be angry with them, are the stupidest and least beneficial things, just like these people have no benefit to their careers.

Although the war was not clear, the destination of Qi Younian's next march was obvious.

"I brought the map." Qin Zhen said at the right time, then took out a roll of map from his sleeve and spread it on the desk.

Ji Xiaotang walked to the desk and watched the map with Qin Zhen and Master Ji Er.

The next goal of Qi Younian's march was Hanyang.

The three of them looked at the map and talked for a while before Qin Zhen put it away. Qin Zhen knew that Ji Xiaotang was concerned about the battle situation in Shu, and a large part of the factor was because of Qi Younian.

Although this made Qin Zhen feel a little sad, he himself was concerned about the battle situation in Shu, and even Qi Younian.

Moreover, every time I talked about the war in Shu with Ji Xiaotang, some of Ji Xiaotang's views coincided with his views, which made him happy, while some of Ji Xiaotang's views could make him suddenly enlightened.

The more he came to Xinhuatang, the more he did not like Xinhuatang, nor did he want to compete with Qin Lin, he came to meet Ji Xiaotang.

He even felt a little grateful to Qin Lin for giving him such an excuse, so that he could often see Ji Xiaotang and talk to Ji Xiaotang openly.

The map was closed, but everyone's topic was still on the war in Shu.

"After such an advancement, we cannot supply food and grass from the local area, it must be very tight. I wonder if Master Li's food and grass were delivered at this time?"

In the territory of the Qin Dynasty, not only were there wars in Shu, but there were two other rebels that needed to be wiped out. In addition to rebels, there were also border troops in the north who were always ready to meet the enemy.

The Northern Barbarians seem to be in response to the rebels in Shu, and have been frequently attacking recently. The war in the north is tight and there is not enough food and supplies.

The food and supplies of the national treasury were given first to the border troops in the north, followed by Qi Younian's army.

Qi Younian issued a military order, and Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han specially approved a batch of food and grass that had been sent to Shu. However, calculating Qi Younian's military strength and food and grass consumption, Qi Younian's army urgently needed food and grass.

As soon as the battle situation in Shu started, the rebels in Shu knew that Qi Younian lacked food and grass, so they used a ruthless move: to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.

Even if Qi Younian robbed the city, no grain of food or grass could be left for Qi Younian.

The pressure Qi Younian's army is under now can be imagined.

After seeing Qi Younian's letter, Ji Xiaotang had already foresaw this situation. She was not aware of the way to use the trick of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness in Shu. She just used common sense to judge, and she knew that Qi Younian would definitely be short of food and grass.

As the saying goes, the troops will move forward before they move their food and grass.

If Qi Younian wants to defeat, he must have enough food and grass support. Otherwise, no matter how brave the soldiers are, no matter how good Qi Younian is in command and using tricks, it will be useless.

It was on that day that Ji Xiaotang wrote another letter to Master Ji San from Qingyuan.

In addition to some of the grain transported from overseas, it was replaced by salt to help the court to provide relief to the victims, the Ji family also retained part of the grain. There was still some grain saved in the Ji family's granary. Ji Xiaotang helped the victims and did not take out all the grain in the granary.

Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San to escort all the food to Shuzhong to Qi Younian.

Master Ji San was about to go out to sea again and could not escort him in person, so he sent Master Li.
