The next morning, Xiao Ruxun woke up energetically. A maid was already waiting outside with a basin of water. After washing up, Xiao Ruxun felt refreshed and his stomach was empty. At this time, the North Korean maid brought a sumptuous breakfast. Xiao Ruxun ate and drank to fill his stomach. After changing into his armor, he went to the King of North Korea's' palace 'to explain everything to him.
When he arrived at the place where the King of North Korea and his ministers were discussing, Xiao Ruxun was surprised to find that the North Korean Emperor and his ministers had not arrived yet. According to the guards, they had a hangover from yesterday and had not woken up yet. This made Xiao Ruxun feel helpless and amused at the same time. The country is in danger, and they still have a hangover? What's the difference between them and Empress Chen?
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Ruxun bumped into Liu Chenlong, whom he had only spoken to the day before. Liu Chenlong's complexion was not good, and his health was probably not too good.
"Commander Xiao, aren't you going to discuss important matters?"
Liu Chenlong looked at Xiao Ruxun in shock. Xiao Ruxun cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Liu, your country's Emperor and his ministers are really in a good mood. The enemy is right in front of them, but they are still drunk. What should I do?"
Xiao Ruxun's tone was very bad. Liu Chenlong's face froze. He quickly stepped forward to understand the situation from the inner attendant. He heard Liu Chenlong roaring loudly over there. Then, he saw the inner attendant scrambling in a certain direction. It was obvious that he was going to wake those drunkards up.
Following that, Liu Chenlong let out a bitter sigh before slowly walking towards Xiao Ruxun and bowing: "I've let General Xiao see a joke. My master has suffered from the Wokou pirates for a long time and is often frightened. Now that you're here, my master's heart has calmed down. That's why I've let him loose a little.
Xiao Ruxun sighed and said gently, "How can I dare to offend the King? However, North Korea is the King's Kingdom. If the King doesn't cherish it, what can I do? "
Liu Chenlong's expression became even more bitter. He shook his head and said, "I wonder how many troops the Daming Kingdom will send this time? Tell us the number of people so that we can prepare rations for the army in advance. "
Xiao Ruxun looked at Liu Chenglong's skinny body and sighed, "Mister Liu, if the officials of your country were as responsible as Mister Liu, the power of the nation wouldn't be this weak. Before I came here, I heard that Mister Liu fell sick from exhaustion in order to gather the rations for Commander Zu's 3,000 men. Lying on the bed, you vomited and had diarrhea. You haven't recovered yet, right? This time, the army is definitely more than three thousand. How can Mister Liu handle it alone? "
Liu Chenlong felt bitter inside and out. However, it was his fault for having such a deceitful Emperor and such a group of idiotic teammates. He could only swallow the bitter fruit himself!
"General, please don't make fun of me. What can I do? I can only do my duty. Although the army is large, with the strength of the nation, we should be able to handle it for a few more months. "
Xiao Ruxun smiled and said, "Mister Liu, please don't sigh. As long as I'm not blind, I can still see the situation your country is in. Not to mention a few months, even one month is enough for Mister Liu to die from exhaustion. It's rare for your country to have such a responsible official. If he dies from exhaustion, it would be a loss to me. There's no need for Mister Liu to work so hard."
Liu Chenlong felt that something was amiss. But when he thought about it, it was indeed the case. Those Northerners and Westerners still had to fight amongst themselves, and not many people were willing to help him. He was so tired that he suffered from hemorrhoids, vomiting and diarrhea, and almost died. If this were to happen again, he would really have to meet his ancestors. He would not live to see the day of North Korea's recovery. Liu Chenlong felt sad and wronged …
Wait a minute …
"General, you mean …"
Liu Chenlong suddenly understood something.
Xiao Ruxun nodded his head. "I'm here to deal with the logistics before the army departs. I've brought twenty clerks who are proficient in arithmetic, Deacon Yuan, who is in charge of the overall situation, and Deacon Song, who has gathered 80,000 dan of rations in Liaodong. They will be delivered here in a few days. They might be able to share some of Mister Liu's burden."
Liu Chenlong's eyes reddened as he listened. He couldn't contain the joy in his heart. He immediately straightened his clothes and bowed. "Daming and General, I will never forget your kindness!"
"Mister Liu, please rise!" Xiao Ruxun reached out to help Liu Chenglong up. "It's not that simple. There's a mountain of work to be done. I can't trust any of the information your country has provided. For example, your country's General Li Zhi said that there were only a thousand Japanese invaders in Pyongyang, but Zu Chengxun said there were ten thousand of them. How can I trust the information your country provided?"
Liu Chenlong's face turned red. He remembered that there were still many doubts about Li Zhi. He quickly changed the topic. "Then, General, you mean … you want to collect more information?"
"Not only that." Xiao Ruxun said, "From the marching route to the management of the relay stations and military depots along the way, from the information transmission route to the transportation of supplies, everything needs to be reorganized. The relay stations and military depots that the army needs to pass through along the way will all be taken care of by the soldiers under my command. All matters regarding the storage of rations and military equipment will all be managed by my subordinates. Mister Liu, please pay more attention to the internal affairs of your country. I do not wish for the army to be fighting a bloody battle at the front while a pair of Wokou eyes are watching from the rear!"
Xiao Ruxun looked at Liu Chenlong meaningfully. Liu Chenlong was shocked. Could it be that the General had discovered that matter? That's impossible!
Li Zhi noticed that there were high-ranking officials secretly communicating with the Japanese a month ago. He also felt that something was wrong, but he did not investigate further. However, Liu Chenlong noticed it and began to investigate in secret. At this time, he had found some clues and was basically sure that Li Zhi was involved. He was preparing to withdraw Li Zhi from the front line of the battlefield. When he heard Xiao Ruxun's words, he panicked.
He was about to say something when he realized that Xiao Ruxun had already walked away. When he looked, he saw that it was Li Zhi and a group of disheveled ministers rushing over.
How embarrassing!!!
Liu Chenlong wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.
Xiao Ruxun also felt that it was unbearable to watch the scene, but for the sake of his reputation, he still went up to greet them.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Zhi hurriedly ran in front of Xiao Ruxun and said, "Admiral Xiao, please don't mind me. I was too happy last night and drank a few more cups, which delayed me a little. This is my fault."
What else could Xiao Ruxun say? Li Zhi reeked of alcohol. When he opened his mouth, the stench of alcohol was really unpleasant. Xiao Ruxun calmly stepped aside and said, "This is not considered a delay. Your Majesty, I still have a lot of things to discuss with Your Majesty."
"Good! Good! Good! Discuss, let's discuss it now! Admiral Xiao, please! "
Li Zhi hurriedly led a group of people into the meeting room and began the formal discussion. Xiao Ruxun put forward seven or eight requests in one breath, bombarding the North Korean emperor and ministers. Everyone's head was dizzy, only Liu Chenlong and a few others were calculating the gains and losses of doing so.
Li Zhi thought that this general was a gentle person who was easy to talk to, but in the end, he was a military general, and a very strong one at that. So, he immediately became terrified.
"The other things are easy to discuss, but Admiral Xiao, can you relax the requirement of withdrawing the defeated troops to the front line to be used as laborers to transport provisions and armaments? Otherwise, it will be hard for me to explain to the people of my country!"
