Crossing the famine, the special agent peasant girl blows up one by one
Chapter 103 Food Crisis
General Su Xiong and his military advisor were in the room, discussing the issue of military rations.
"Old Ge, what should we do? We only have enough food and fodder for five days. The capital said that the food and fodder have been on the way for half a month, but they haven't arrived yet."
Su Xiong's face showed anxiety. A hundred thousand troops! Was he going to let his soldiers starve?
Ge Xun's brows were also tightly furrowed. Food and fodder were the top priority in the army. If there was a problem with the food and fodder, it would be a big trouble.
In this way, the Di Kingdom will take advantage of the situation and Daqing will be in danger.
"Does the third prince know about this?" Ge Xun asked.
"I have told him about this, and he said he would return to Ning'an City tomorrow to think of a solution." Su Xiong replied.
"Oh, I hope the food and supplies can arrive in time." Su Xiong sighed.
"Well, we will get there. Don't worry. The king will never hand over the northern border to anyone else." Ge Xun comforted.
Su Xiong and the other man talked in the house for a long time before Su Xiong left the yard dejectedly.
On the afternoon of the second day, the guards of the military camp came to report happily.
"General, the people delivering food and fodder have arrived at the gate," the guarding soldier ran out of breath.
When Su Xiong heard this, he immediately strode towards the gate. This was great! Now the food and fodder problem could be solved.
But when Su Xiong arrived at the gate and looked at the few carriages outside, he felt a trace of disbelief.
How come there are only ten carriages? There are half as many as before.
Moreover, the sacks loaded on the carriage were obviously less than last time.
He has an army of 100,000. How can he provide food for this little bit of food? How can the soldiers survive?
The soldiers starved to death before the battle even started.
Su Xiong asked the officers escorting the grain what was going on.
But the officer took out the document and gave it to Su Xiong, asking him to read it himself.
Su Xiong's hands were shaking as he read what was written on the document.
The document said that the war in the south was tense, and there was a severe drought in central and eastern China. The national treasury was running out of food and fodder, so this was all they could give.
After reading the document, Su Xiong almost fainted. What should he do?
Su Xiong looked at the sacks on the ten carriages in front of him and took a deep breath.
We have no choice but to deal with the problem temporarily while we think of other solutions.
The soldiers transported the food and fodder into the warehouse, and the officials returned to the capital to report.
Su Xiong returned to the military tent, sat at the table, and frowned.
All I was thinking about was food and grass. Now all I could do was wait for news from the Third Prince.
On the second day, the granary guard went into the granary to check the grain and accidentally saw that a bag of grain that had been put into the granary yesterday had a hole bitten by a rat.
Some grain flowed out of the sack, so the guard scooped up the spilled rice with both hands and was instantly shocked.
There is a lot of sand in this rice. Can it still be eaten?
The guard felt that something was wrong and immediately ran to find Captain Ming. When Captain Ming learned about this, he immediately ran to the granary.
When he opened the sacks of food and fodder that were delivered yesterday, Captain Ming was also shocked.
There is stone and sand in every bag. What should I do?
Captain Ming rushed to the general's tent and said, "General, General, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened."
Captain Ming ran and shouted.
Su Xiong had just sat down at the table when he heard Captain Ming's voice outside and couldn't help frowning.
In the past, Captain Ming was calm and steady in his work, but why is he so anxious today?
Captain Ming rushed in and said to Su Xiong, "General, this is bad. The rice sent from the capital yesterday contained a lot of sand. It is totally inedible!"
Su Xiong immediately stood up from his chair and asked in disbelief:
"What did you say? Say it again." Su Xiong stared at Captain Ming, hoping that he had heard it wrong.
"General, there was sand in the food delivered yesterday. It is totally inedible."
Su Xiong asked again: "Are you serious?"
Captain Ming was so anxious that he almost cried. "General, how could I lie? I opened every bag and looked at them. They were all the same."
After hearing this, Su Xiong's eyes widened and he fell backwards.
Captain Ming was quick to support Su Xiong and said, "General, what happened to you? Someone, come! The general has fainted, please call a military doctor, please call a military doctor!"
Soon, the military doctor came to the tent and treated Su Xiong. Military advisor Ge Xun and two lieutenant generals stood by with worried looks on their faces.
After the military doctor felt the general's pulse, he slowly spoke: "General, you are so angry that you will recover if you rest more."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the military doctor say this. If something happened to the general, the northern border would be in danger.
In the evening, military advisor Ge Xun returned to the yard and saw Su Chengyi and everyone having dinner.
So he walked to Su Chengyi's side and said softly: "Chengyi, your father fainted today. I will go with you to see him later!"
When Su Chengyi heard that his father had fainted, he immediately put down his bowl and was about to walk out.
Just as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Ning'er, can you please go with me and treat my father?"
Qu Qiuning put down his bowl and chopsticks, went into the house and took out the first aid kit.
"Let's go!" Qu Qiuning followed Su Chengyi and the two military advisors, but Qin Haoyuan and Monk Bikong were also following closely behind them.
Several people came to Su Xiong's residence and saw Su Xiong lying on the bed with a pale face.
Su Chengyi ran straight to Su Xiong's bed and asked worriedly:
"Dad, are you feeling better?"
Su Xiong opened his eyes slightly, looked at Su Chengyi standing in front of the bed, and then looked at the other people beside him.
He said softly: "Yier, don't worry, your father is fine, just take a rest."
"Dad, this Miss Qu is a doctor. Let her take a look at you."
Su Chengyi pointed at Qu Qiuning and said.
Qu Qiuning walked forward, bowed respectfully, opened the first aid kit, and took out a stethoscope, a blood pressure monitor, and a blood glucose meter.
"General, my treatment is a little novel, please don't be offended."
After Qu Qiuning finished speaking, he picked up the stethoscope and began to examine Su Xiong. After a thorough examination, he found that Su Xiong's blood pressure was a little high.
Combined with emotional excitement, fainting can occur.
"General, your blood pressure is a little high. Be careful not to get stimulated in the future, otherwise you may easily have a stroke."
After Qu Qiuning finished speaking, he put the equipment back into the first aid kit.
Su Chengyi asked nervously, "How is my father?" He didn't understand what Qu Qiuning had just said.
When Qu Qiuning heard Su Chengyi ask this, he suddenly realized that they did not understand modern medical terms.
"I mean, your father is fine at the moment, but you need to be careful in the future and not get too excited, as this can easily induce other diseases."
Only after Qu Qiuning finished speaking did Su Chengyi slowly feel relieved.
Su Chengyi looked at Ge Xun, "Uncle Ge, why did my father faint?"
Ge Xun was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say, because the matter of food was confidential and could not be disclosed.
Bikong saw Ge Xun's embarrassment and turned to look at Su Xiong who was lying there.
"General Su, if you have any problem, just tell us. We can give you some advice. It's better than trying to handle it alone."
