Chapter 309: Fu Shopkeeper and His Person
At this time, Xiaoshan, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Xiaohu, Zhong Rui, Zhong Kai, and Zhong Wei walked out of the east wing, each with a solemn and solemn face.
Xiaoshan asked, "Sister, how is the battle situation now?" ”
Before Li Ziyu could reply, Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "Sister, where is the Liao army?" Does the imperial court still recruit people? I'm going to be a soldier! Liao dog who beat him up for a dog day! ”
"Alright, that's not your business. You're still going to be a soldier? Are there six-year-old soldiers? What kind of soldier is he when he is not as tall as a horse's legs? The current situation is indeed not optimistic, but it is said that the imperial court has sent additional troops and horses, and it will be there soon. The Liao army should not stay long, because both Baishan City and Shiyan Town are empty cities, no one has no food, how can an army of more than 100,000 live? Hunger is starvation. ”
Li Ziyu is really right, the Liao army is going crazy now.
In the lobby of the Fuyuan County Government in Shiyan Town, Yelu Hongzhen sat on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face, and his heart was full of anxiety and hatred, and he couldn't wait to light the county government with a fire.
Ever since the capture of Baishan City, his men have been looking for food everywhere. However, after turning Baishan City upside down, not a single grain of grain was found.
And the food in the army was almost at the bottom, and when the country's grain and grass carts were about to enter the station, they were burned to ashes by a sudden explosion, which almost made him mad.
You must know that the north of the city is your own territory, but you just watched the grain and grass carts being burned out, but you didn't find any trace of the enemy.
I don't know what kind of new weapon Daye Chao is. When he was about to succeed in the siege, he lost a lot of horses with this weapon. Even if he took down Baishan City, he would not have the slightest joy of victory.
What's even more infuriating. After entering Baishan City, the soldiers searched from house to house, but not only was there not a single figure missing, but there was also not a single grain of food.
Only then did he realize how powerful Ren Changqing was, claiming to be 50,000 soldiers and horses, except for the thousands of people he had captured and more than 20,000 corpses, everyone else was gone.
He didn't believe that there were not even wounded soldiers in a battle. Then there is only one possibility, the wounded soldiers are hiding.
The most desperate thing is to leave him with an empty city, which no one wants to have. I want food, but I don't have food. was so angry that if he hadn't had a trace of sanity, he would have burned Baishan City on fire a long time ago.
This city must not be burned, this is the first result he has achieved in attacking the Daye Dynasty. I have to leave it to the second brother and the father to see who is more capable of sitting on that chair between him and the second brother.
Baishan City was the first city of the Daye Dynasty that he conquered. There will be a second and a third in the future, and since this city is now in their own hands. Then he has to keep the city well. In the future, this city will be inhabited by its own people, and it will flourish here, and it will never again endure the pain of cold and hunger.
Daye has a large land and a suitable climate, which is a place he has long coveted and longed for. However, he knew that he couldn't be greedy, and being able to defend Baishan City was the most important thing at the moment.
At present, however, the most important thing is food.
He had already sent a letter to his father. In addition to announcing the victory of Baishan City, it also deliberately explained that the current grain has reached the point of exhaustion.
But before that. However, it is necessary to ensure the supply of food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops, and to appease the emotions of the soldiers.
Because the food problem can no longer be hidden, everyone from the general down to the soldiers has realized a very serious problem, that is, they are about to run out of food.
Because the food in the army had been severely reduced the morning before yesterday, everyone could barely eat half a packet.
This is also the reason why he suddenly attacked White Mountain City.
He knew that it would take time for his father and second brother to reraise the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he could not wait for nothing.
If you don't want to starve, you have to enter the White Mountain City in search of food. The soldiers were well aware of the importance of this battle, so they were not afraid of the attack to the death.
But what they never expected was an empty city waiting for them. He had no choice but to give up the temporary takeover of Baishan City and move on to the next city in order to raise food.
As a result, Shiyan Town is still an empty city, which makes his patience reach the limit.
Yeluhong was really irritable in the county government of Fuyuan County, so he listened to the guards around him whisper: "General! The old prince has arrived! ”
When Yelu Hongzhen heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite the old emperor!" ”
The one who is called the old prince is Yelu Hongzhen's uncle Yelu Chucai, and he is one of the few people he admires.
Since more than ten years ago, Yelu Chucai has been hiding in Shiyan Town of the Daye Dynasty, secretly lurking, and constantly obtaining information.
As a member of the royal family, not everyone can give up a body of dignitary and be willing to become an inconspicuous commoner in the Daye Dynasty.
What satisfied him the most was that Uncle Huang came back a few years ago to teach a method of cooking skins, which benefited the people of the entire Liao Kingdom.
It was this method that allowed them to get rid of the cold of winter and wear leather clothes and boots that were extremely soft and could withstand the severe cold.
In the past, they also used animal skins to keep out the cold, but they didn't know how to cook them. It was only used as a leather mattress, and it had never been made into leather clothes and boots.
Now when he heard that the old emperor uncle was coming, Yelu Hongzhen was overjoyed. With the guidance of the old emperor of the local snake, why worry about having no food to eat?
If Li Ziyu saw it, she would definitely be surprised.
The one who followed the guards in was the shopkeeper of the grocery store in his hometown, the shopkeeper Fu.
At this time, the Fu shopkeeper, no, it should be called Yelu Chucai, where is there still a trace of the shadow of the humble shopkeeper?
With a tall figure and sharp eyes, he was filled with an aura of not being angry and arrogant, so that the guards around him did not dare to come out
At this time, in a three-story wooden building deep in the mountains, Ouyang Ye was also listening to Ah Guang's report.
"Master, we ambushed in the south of Baishan City, and found that the Sun family only came to a few dozen people, and General Ren already had foreign aid, so we didn't come out. It's just that I'm worried that General Ren and them are all a group of wounded soldiers, if the Liao army finds out"
Ah Guang didn't say any more, but the result was obvious.
A group of wounded soldiers and seriously wounded generals without any combat effectiveness, if they were discovered by the Liao army, it was impossible to imagine what the consequences would be.
Now Ouyang Ye didn't know that Ren Changqing was poisoned, and thought that he was seriously injured, which already made him very worried.
What worries him even more is that the Liao army has entered Shiyan Town, and his home will sooner or later become the target of the Liao army.
The Liao army is currently like a pack of hungry wolves, and if they are targeted, there are only two results. One is to be devoured alive by them, and the other is to exterminate the wolves.
To his relief, there are now a lot of grenades in the house, and the Liao army really came to the door, and it was really difficult to predict what the result would be.
Recently, I have been in a very low mood, and I recommend that no one looks at the garbage heap, all kinds of cold, all kinds of decadence, and all kinds of powerlessness. Alas, it's so hard, and I doubt I'll be able to keep going, because my persistence is inversely proportional to my grades and recommendations. If one day I really give up, I hope you can understand me.
Fortunately, now I still have you, my fans, your support and encouragement is the biggest motivation for me to persevere, I love you! (To be continued.) )
