Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin came together. Although they were grateful that they could take out a portion of food, they could not get enough to get tens of thousands of soldiers in Liangzhou to eat.

Food is for emergencies. Conservatively, it is estimated that the food in Liangzhou City can be eaten for three days now.

The three-day battle cannot be delayed for too long. Once Li Daliang can't hold on, Yuchi Gong can be considered a buffer.

The eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, I wish you ten stones."

"Your Majesty, Duke Li Jing of the State of Defense is willing to pay ten stones."

"Your Majesty, Du Zhongshu is willing to pay ten stones."

...

Listening to the report, it was scattered and collected more than 200 stones.

But it wasn't long. Li Shimin planned in his heart that it was really touching that these old ministers who followed him all the way could stand up at this moment.

Li Er knew in his heart that if he received these foods, he would have more favors.

These people were old subordinates who broke out with them when the world was in chaos.

The friendship between the monarch and the subject and brothers is two different things.

"I understand your intentions, I will think of a solution for you." Li Shimin sighed and said, even if there were these two hundred stones, it would only slightly solve the urgent problem.

More food is still needed, at least five hundred to one thousand stones.

If Yuchi Gong's 30,000 troops and the army that rushed to Liangzhou, then there might be as many as 100,000 troops in Liangzhou.

This will make the burden even greater.

Li Shimin patted the table and said, "If I can win this battle, I will definitely take over the entire Tuyuhun!"

As long as you give the court another month, you can get any harvest in a month.

It was exactly this month that Tuyuhun calculated very accurately.

This was the most difficult month in the court.

Let’s look at Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong again. They have a hard time living, so they can’t forget the offspring in and outside the palace.

These brothers who were born and died together in the past also had to go hungry with them.

Li Shimin supported his forehead and felt powerlessness surged into his heart.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, you cannot ask for this kind of favor from your ministers.

Li Shimin said powerlessly: "You guys retreat and ask Fang Xuanling to come."

Outside the Secretariat, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui stood together, worried about the war in Liangzhou, and discussed what to do this time.

Food and grass are an urgent need at present.

Wei Zheng said: "Even if I eat less food a day, I don't want His Majesty to give in to the aristocratic family for some food."

Du Ruhui sighed, "They are just waiting for His Majesty to give in. How kind do you think the aristocratic family is."

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "Once you step back, you may be retreating again and again."

However, Fang Xuanling remembered what Li Zheng once said, can the five-nation family really be prosperous for so long?

The eunuch in the palace came to the Secretariat and said to Fang Xuanling: "Prince Fang, Your Majesty summoned him."

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Your Majesty."

Leaving the Secretariat, Fang Xuanling followed the eunuch all the way to Ganlu Hall.

Facing Li Shimin with a sad face, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin seemed to have come back to his senses and sat upright, indicating that the palace maid would give Fang Xuanling a stool.

Fang Xuanling sat down and asked, "Have you made a decision on food matters?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "What should Fang Xiang do?"

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "I think your Majesty cannot retreat to the aristocratic family."

The Ganlu Palace was very quiet, and Li Shimin could hear his breathing.

Thinking about it in my heart, I shouldn’t have regressed to the five surnames.

The five surnames are just waiting for a moment. I bow my head to them.

Wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

In order to get these foods that can solve the urgent problem, the other party will definitely speak out.

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty still remember what Li Zheng said to us."

Li Shimin recalled the scenes of his concealing his identity and talking to Li Zheng.

Fang Xuanling whispered: "When Li Zheng said there would be a flood, it really happened. Li Zheng said that Tuyuhun had ill-intentions. Now Tuyuhun has also begun to attack Liangzhou. Li Zheng rejected the five surnames because he was afraid of death..."

Li Shimin's face turned gloomy, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "At first, I thought about Li Zheng not accepting the recruitment of the five surnames for a long time but couldn't understand why Li Zheng could reject the five surnames. If Li Zheng really could count what he could count as he could count as heavy rain."

"He can count Tuyuhunbao's ill-intention is also counted as the two Turkic Khans."

"Your Majesty asked Li Zheng how the five surnames invited him to do it? Do you still remember what Li Zheng said?"

Li Shimin had a gloomy face and seemed to understand Fang Xuanling's meaning. He had always been very mysterious in his ability to predict the future.

Even a person like Yuan Tiangang may not be sure of it.

Li Zheng could have predicted three times in a row, and the last time the five surnames invited Li Zheng might have predicted it.

Li Shimin spoke to the eunuch beside him and said, "Call Yuan Tiangang to me."

More than half an hour later, Yuan Tiangang came to Ganlu Palace. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, what are you asking?"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "I want to know what the fate of the five surnames are?"

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and was quiet for a long time.

Li Shimin asked again: "Can you calculate it?"

After a while of quietness, Yuan Tiangang then spoke: "Your Majesty, the five peoples cannot be shaken for a hundred years."

"Is Master Yuan accurate?"

The last heavy rain almost caused a disaster, but Yuan Tiangang did not count.

"Your Majesty, I can only spy on the secrets of heaven."

Li Shimin put away his mind, the five people could not shake for a hundred years, and said with a sad expression: "You retreat."

"I will give up."

After Yuan Tiangang left, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, "Did you say Li Zheng really planted food in the wasteland?"

Fang Xuanling said: "The rumors have indeed been planted, but some people say that what Li Zheng planted is not food at all."

Li Lizhi brought a food box to Ganlu Palace, took a look at the situation inside, and saw that Fang Xuanling was discussing affairs with his father here and went in now.

Li Shimin noticed that Li Lizhi, who was standing outside the hall, said, "Come in."

Li Lizhi then walked into the Ganlu Palace and carried a food box and said, "Father, the emperor has someone bring some food."

Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain. I was worried about state affairs here, and Qingque, a bastard, actually knew how to eat it.

Seeing Li Lizhi put the food box in front of her, she became more and more confused after opening it, "What is this?"

Li Lizhi picked up a popcorn and put it in her mouth and ate it, saying, "This is called popcorn."

"Popcorn……"

Li Shimin suspiciously picked up a popcorn the size of a fingernail.
