On the other hand, on the Cangguo side, the teacher is unfavorable, the morale has plummeted, and many people are singing declining songs.

Ji Jingsheng went from being shocked at the beginning to thinking, if it was really because of the physical discomfort of the soldiers caused by the weather, why did they fall ill many soldiers, but Kunguo looked energetic, and it really didn't look like he was depressed because of anger.

So he immediately asked the military doctor to carefully investigate the cause of the soldiers' poor condition, and finally learned that it was not because of the fever and cold caused by the weather, but because they had eaten the wrong food.

Ji Jingsheng ordered the military doctors to treat it quickly, this is not a serious disease, the military doctors are very sure, but there are more people, and it takes a certain amount of time for the soldiers to recover, which gives Kunguo a lot of opportunities, so after a few days, Cangguo suffered heavy losses, and retreated more than ten miles, until the soldiers who were not in good condition gradually recovered and joined the war, and the situation improved.

But now the state of the Cangguo army is not to be underestimated, and soon a general reported these to Ji Jingsheng, after Ji Jingsheng got the news, he attached great importance to it, after all, he made a lot of promises for this war, if something happens, his credibility will be greatly reduced, and many ministers who support him are likely to turn to support other princes, and Cangguo is not only one prince.

He immediately sent reinforcements.

When Cangguo's rescue troops were still on the way, Kunguo's army had already arrived at Jeju City, and the city walls of Jeju City were towering, but Cangguo was an important barrier against foreign enemies, and once it was lost, the impact would be huge.

Therefore, the soldiers of Cangguo are holding the decision to die, the two sides fought bloodily under the city of Jeju for several days, and many people died on both sides, dyeing the blue city wall reddish-brown, but the morale of the army of Kunguo is far from being comparable to Cangguo, and the number of soldiers between the two countries is almost the same, so Cangguo obviously has signs of defeat, and finally even has to retreat into the city, waiting for help.

Just as Su Ming was excitedly planning to capture Jeju City in one go, someone suddenly came to report that the grain and grass warehouse had been burned, and the fire was so great that they couldn't even extinguish it for a while.

As soon as everyone heard it, it was okay, grain and grass were indispensable materials for leading troops to fight, and they were not allowed to be missing at all, and for a while, most of their morale was lost, and they all wanted to go back and see.

As the old saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, after the soldiers reported the news that the grain and grass were burned, the morale of the Kunguo soldiers could no longer be lifted up to the beginning, and the Cangguo soldiers were already fighting against the water, and they shocked the Kunguo soldiers with a spirit of openness.

Su Ming and the others missed this excellent opportunity to capture Jeju City, as long as they retreated first to see the situation of grain and grass.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Su Ming was exaggerated by the soldiers at first, but when he saw the grain and grass that was burned black and couldn't see its original face, he was still startled, and then he was distressed and shocked, these are all things that are more precious than treasures.

A large number of soldiers joined in extinguishing the fire, and even Su Ming rolled up his sleeves to join in, and the fire was quickly controlled, but at this time, less than a quarter of the grain and grass were left, and this little thing couldn't last long.

And when fighting, the most taboo thing is the lack of food and grass, so that the hungry soldiers who are so hungry that they have not enough to eat fight with the soldiers who are satisfied with the other side's food.

Because not only physically, but even psychologically, they have lost to each other, and they have to fight for the country when they can't eat enough, and there are a lot of people who are willing, but there are not a few people who are unwilling, and the soldiers will affect each other.

Therefore, there must be no shortage of food.

So Su Ming personally went around to buy grain at the normal price in the market, but in this kind of cold weather, the crops were frozen half to death, and the people's food stock would not be much, maybe it was just enough for the family to survive this cold winter, and Su Ming couldn't bear to ask for them.

Fortunately, there were many wealthy businessmen who were willing to donate a lot of food generously, but Su Ming didn't want to take advantage of them, so he bought them at a normal price.

But this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the food he needs, and it is far from enough, but at this time he really can't find where there is enough food.

Su Ming had no choice but to report the situation to Du Weizhen, and it was up to him to figure out a way, he was really at the end of his rope.

It's just that in this kind of weather, not only is there a shortage of food in various parts of the border, but also that other places are not much better, and Du Weizhen can't raise enough food for a while.

Knowing that the army on the border could not wait long, he had this part sent over first, and then issued enough silver taels to the state capitals in various places to buy and buy grain, and then send it to the border together in a few days.

Du Weizhen never imagined that his practice would greatly rectify many profiteers who sat on the ground and bought grain far beyond the normal price and made a fortune, which made many people feel grateful.

It turned out that many landlords had already stockpiled a huge amount of grain before the heavy snowfall came, and when the heavy snow fell for more than a month and many people's stored grain ran out, they sold it at a high price.

Where are the ordinary people who can afford the price, they have begged them to sell a little lower, even if it is twice the normal price, but where do the profiteers dislike the reason for having more money, put down the words and love to buy or not, if they can't afford it, they will starve to death, and they refuse to drop a penny.

The people had no choice but to grit their teeth and prepare to buy it, after all, there were no people, and no matter how much money there was, it was useless.

But at this time, the imperial court ordered the state capitals to buy grain, and where did that group of profiteers dare to sit on the ground and raise prices for the imperial court, obediently selling at whatever price they should sell, and even the people were wiped out.

However, this also took a lot of time, and it was quite difficult to transport grain and grass in heavy snow, so it was delayed for a long time.

Su Ming saw that the grain and grass were coming, and he was so anxious that he could only appease the soldiers while spilling his anger on the thieves who burned the grain and grass, and vowed that once they were arrested, he would personally torture them.

But no matter how happy Su Ming thought in his heart, the bloody facts were still in front of him, they still hadn't found a single clue about those thieves, and after they set fire to the grain and grass pile, it was like the world had evaporated, leaving no trace.

However, even if there are footprints, they will soon be covered by the overwhelming university and the traces will be destroyed. This can reduce Su Ming's anger is not light, he didn't eat for a full day that day, he said that he was full of gas, and he ate.
