Chapter 308
The people thought that the war was getting intense and the soldiers did this to protect them.
When several of Wei Jue's confidants learned of the secret decree and saw Wei Jue's actions, they roughly guessed Wei Jue's intention, which was to use the people of these cities as reserve military rations.
But they didn't dare to say anything clearly, because at this moment, there was really no better way than this.
But one of Wei Jue's older aides disagreed with this approach.
He found Wei Jue privately and persuaded him:
"Sir, the Wei family has devoted all its energy to serving the country and the people since the generation of our great grandfather, and has followed the founding emperor to create today's prosperous era.
It took several generations of efforts to achieve today's glory, if Your Excellency really used the people as military rations.
Not only will the efforts of previous generations of the Duke's Mansion go to waste, but it will also be infamous for eternity."
As she said this, she was still worried that Wei Jue might not listen, so she knelt down in front of Wei Jue with her half-white hair.
This aide is quite old. He has been following his great-grandfather to conquer the world since he was very young. It can be said that he is not only his elder, but also his father's elder.
No one can question his loyalty to the Wei family. His grandfather always asks him to give the other party some leeway and his opinions must be considered carefully.
Because of this aide's extraordinary status in the Wei family, Wei Jue usually had to call him "Uncle Qiao" when he met him, and he would never kneel down to Wei Jue.
Now she actually knelt down to him, which showed how much she disagreed with his approach, but he had no choice.
He could only explain: "Qiao Bo, I know what you mean, but if we don't do this, not only will the Wei family army not be able to be protected, we may not even be able to protect the border.
If the border cannot be defended, you know what will happen. The country will no longer be a country and its mountains and rivers will be in ruins.
What use does the Wei family have for mountains and rivers like this? What the Wei family wants is the wealth and honor of a peaceful and prosperous era, not the pitiful favors given to us by the enemy country. "
Wei Jue said this while looking at the gray sky. When the wind blows, the sky will turn into this color.
"The Wei family can be disloyal to the person at the top, but they must be loyal to the country. As long as the country still exists, what does it matter if we are despised by the world?
What if I am infamous for eternity? It is nothing serious.
Those who criticize and accuse others have never been on the battlefield, so they can speak eloquently. If they were allowed to do so, they might not be able to do better than the Wei family. "
When Qiao Bo heard Wei Jue dare to say such disloyal and unrighteous words, he quickly stopped him: "Sir, be careful with your words, the walls have ears."
After saying this, he tried hard to move his unsteady legs to the window to see if there was anyone eavesdropping nearby.
Wei Jue found it funny when he saw it. How could he give others such an opportunity?
If Qiao Bo was not deeply bound to the Wei family, he would not have spoken so arrogantly in front of him.
"Don't worry, with Xue Jiu guarding outside, no one dares to get close to here. I won't give up this strategy, but I will try not to use it.
"I'll have to ask you to take care of the food problem later."
Qiao Bo nodded quickly after hearing this: "Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to raise food."
……
Liu Cheng was not Wei Jue's confidant in the military camp, so he did not know the secret order nor the intention of Wei Jue's military order.
However, he had worked for Wei Jue for many years and was well-informed, so he knew that the military camp should be worried about food at this time.
He went to the military camp specifically and looked for Wei Jue's confidant Xue Jiu several times, asking to see Wei Jue.
