"Retreat!" Zhao Didan flicked his sleeves, walked directly off the high platform, and left the solemn and sacred Chengqian Hall from the apse!

The civil and military officials knelt on the ground with a respectful expression, and shouted: "Ministers and other ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When Zhao Didan's figure disappeared from the eyes of the hundred officials, the hundred officials slowly got up from the ground and left the Chengqian Hall one after another.

They secretly swore in their hearts that the shame that the Great Zhao Empire endured today would be repaid a hundred times in the future!

Time passed slowly, and the days passed day by day, September 1 of the twentieth year of the Holy Qin!

Chenshi!

Inside Jinling City!

"Master, give me something to eat, the little girl can't hold on!"

"Alas~ If it was before, maybe I would have given you a little food, but now, my lord, I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect myself, the Qin army has borrowed the grain in my house, and there is only my own family's rations left in the house, and there is no surplus food at all!"

"The landlord's family has no surplus food!"

"How do you spend this day!"

"The bark of the trees outside the city has been stripped clean, and the wild vegetables have been dug up clean, and there is not a single leaf left."

"Master, it's okay, give me something to eat!"

"Get out of here!"

"This son, enjoy it!"

"This old man, this son has nothing for you!"

In the streets and alleys of Jinling City, there are a large number of people begging along the streets, these people begging along the streets have yellow faces, gloomy eyes, walking and talking are weak, and even from time to time a few people suddenly faint to the ground.

War is more terrible than natural disasters, although the battle of Qin and Jin ended, but the sequelae of the war have not been eliminated, the people of Jinling City are facing famine, not only the people of Jinling City, but also the people of the entire Jinchang County are facing famine.

There was also famine in other counties, but it was not as serious as Jinchang County, because when the Qin army was on an eastward expedition, every time they captured a city, they would take out military rations to appease the people in the city, so that the counties west of the Jin realm could get a chance to breathe.

And Jinchang County was very miserable, when the Qin army fought here, the Qin army itself did not have much food, so naturally did not take out military food to appease the people in the city, causing Jinchang County to become the county with the most serious famine.

Although Jinling City has not yet reached the point of eating with a child, under this situation, within half a month, there will be a matter of eating with a child, and with the famine becoming more and more serious, the order in the city is also experiencing great challenges.

Since three days ago, there have been a lot of hungry and red-eyed people rushing up to the city tower, wanting to rob the city tower garrison of the food, if it is the Qin Empire, the Qin army soldiers really don't know what to do, but this is the Jin realm, the people who grab the food are the Jin people, although the current Jin people are already Qin people, but the Qin army soldiers will not be merciful to them, come and cut one by one, hang their heads on the city tower, as a warning!

But the warning is useless for the hungry red-eyed people, the hungry people give up the robbery, start stealing, and use all kinds of tricks, but all this is in vain, the Qin army itself does not have much food, and has long regarded food as a treasure, how can it be possible to let these hungry people succeed.

.....

Outside the west gate of Jinling City, the Qin army barracks!

"Why hasn't the food arrived yet?"

"Brothers, don't worry, the captain said, I'll be here in a few days!"

"What? How many days will it take? Doesn't it mean that we will have to eat gruel these days? ”

"It's nice to have gruel to eat!"

"It's really easy to go from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, I'm usually used to eating big meat, and now I drink it every day, and it's like a year!"

"It's okay, I've stopped training in the last few days, and I'm not particularly hungry!"

"O heaven, O earth, come quickly!"

"We are good, at least there is gruel to drink every day, you go to the city to see, the Jin people in Jinling City are already hungry and their faces are yellow!"

"Yes, one of my brothers patrols the city, and often sees people fighting over a little rice, and the people in the city are like crazy, compared to them, we can have a mouthful of gruel to drink, which is already a very comfortable thing!"

"Let's bear with it first, in a few days, the military rations of the imperial court will arrive!"

Due to the delay in the arrival of the imperial army's rations, and whether there was much grain in the army, Du Changjing had already ordered three days ago that the officers and men of the whole army could not eat, but could only drink gruel, and at the same time stopped training.

Fortunately, there is a stark contrast in the city, which makes the soldiers feel that they are doing well, otherwise, the turmoil in the army's heart is inevitable!

Handsome tent!

"King Yuwu, there are only three days of military rations left in the army, and after three days, our army will face an inch of food shortage!"

In the handsome tent, Du Changjing, Ma Daring, Zhao Hao, Aluke Ge, and Luo Xing stood on both sides of the tent, and King Wu Bai Qi was in a handsome position, and when he heard Du Changjing's report, Bai raised his brows and couldn't help frowning slightly, "Three days, can it only last for three days?" ”

Du Changjing nodded, and replied with a rather solemn expression: "If it weren't for the order a few days ago that no meals were allowed, and only porridge could be drunk, I'm afraid that the food would have run out, and if the imperial army food has not arrived in the next three days, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

In fact, the military rations had already bottomed out three days ago, and in order to be able to delay for a few days, Du Changjing not only ordered the whole army not to eat, but also sent people to the city to borrow grain, borrowing from the east and borrowing from the west, so as to gather the military rations for three days.

"Is the army at peace?" Bai Qi asked out loud.

Gu Yuan's general Aluk Ge took a step forward, bent down with a look of awe and replied: "King Huiwu, the grassland army is still stable, and there has been no chaos!" ”

"The Great Wall Army is stable!"

"Wu Jinjun is stable!"

Du Changjing and Luo Xing stood up one after another and said.

Although the food is about to run out, but the army's heart has not yet been turbulent, this is simply a miracle, if it is replaced by the army of other empires, I am afraid that the army's heart has already been turbulent, this is the Qin army soldiers believe in the generals above, I believe that the imperial court will not abandon them!

Sometimes, the word 'trust' is so important!

"Just be stable!" Bai Qi nodded expressionlessly.

The Prairie Army, the Great Wall Army, and the Wujin Army are stable, and he is relieved, as for the Xuanjia Army, the Xuanjia Army is all Dacheng masters, even if they are hungry for three days, they still have the strength to kill the enemy, and they are not worried about the turmoil of the Xuanjia Army at all!

"What's happened to Zhao Jun lately?" Bai Qi then asked.

Hearing Bai Qi's question, Du Changjing immediately replied: "The general was about to talk about this, just now the scout came to report that the Zhao army had retreated, and the strange thing was that not only the Zhao army retreated, but also the Zhao officials left together, and a large number of officials in Fengtai County and Fangshan County abandoned the city and fled!" ”
