In addition to this, a large number of people were recruited.

Of course, these people did not serve as servants, but adopted the unique subsidy model of Cangguo.

It's equivalent to a paid job.

What are the people used for?

Build fortifications.

Reassure the population.

Public opinion offensive.

The biggest purpose of the Blue Dragon Legion is to let the people of Chu see that Cangguo is the best country, the country that can give everyone the best treatment and let everyone live a happy life.

In a long war, the strength of the common people is very strong.

Caught in the sea of resistance of the people, this is not an empty word.

……

At the same time, the army of Yunguo stationed on the border of Yunguo has also made new progress.

With the support of the 300,000 Blue Dragon Legion, the morale of the Suzaku army is high, and with one blow, the five cities are connected!

These five cities are not ordinary five cities, but the five cities of the frontier!

If this gap is opened, the next step is to tear a big hole in the tight border defense line of the Cloud Country, and the 600,000 troops can break through from here!

This made Meng Huo, who was in command, anxious.

Originally, he led the army to retreat in order to preserve his strength, and at the same time, to be able to shrink his strength, deploy defenses on the borders of his country, and resist the pressure of the Suzaku Legion.

Originally, it was able to withstand the Vermilion Bird Legion, even under a strong trebuchet and other attacks, it could still resist the pressure, but with the help of the 300,000 Blue Dragon Army, it was immediately unable to bear it.

At this time, not to mention the equipment and quality of the army, just in terms of numbers, Yunguo has already fallen behind.

This is where Meng Huo's anxiety comes from.

He was not calculating how long the Yun Kingdom could last, but how long the imperial court could last.

Because, the court of Yunguo is full of various voices, the biggest of which is to punish him, a great general.

In Meng Huo's heart, his honor and disgrace are not important, even if he is removed from his post and investigated, he has no complaints.

However, with the current situation in Yun Country, if he is withdrawn, is there any hope for Yun Country?

The answer is undoubted, Yunguo will definitely fall into a court dispute under strong internal and external pressure.

Even if a general is re-elected, it will be greatly restricted due to the checks and balances of various forces, such as arranging deputy generals from different camps, etc., and his hands will be tied.

Facing the Cangguo army like a sharp knife, it will definitely be defeated!

If you don't do it, you won't be able to hold out the rest of the five countries and launch a full-scale war against Cangguo!

This is where he is anxious, those officials in the court did not come to the border in person, so naturally they do not understand the situation on the front line, and if they issue a government decree indiscriminately, it will be troublesome.

His Majesty the Emperor, who sat on the dragon chair, was the same, he was not a virtuous person in the first place, but just the second prince who was pushed to the throne of the emperor by the conspiracy of the Cangguo.

I have to admit that to this day, Meng Huo still has no sense of identity with the Emperor of Yunguo, and he also does not trust him very much.

……

"Hmm...... Is the Suzaku Army here again......"

In the shogunate in the city, Meng Huo stroked his forehead, his face was sad, and his whole person had lost a lot of weight compared to two months ago.

Several generals next to him also pressed the hilt of their swords, bowed their heads and did not speak.

After all, the Suzaku Legion has come to this sentence again...... I've heard it many times......

Prior to this, every time the Suzaku Legion attacked, the shogunate had to discuss whether to resist or retreat.

Since the Vermilion Bird Legion had 300,000 foreign aid from the Blue Dragon Legion, this discussion has become a symbolic one.

Retreat is inevitable.

Otherwise, the 200,000 troops on his side would definitely be annihilated here in one fell swoop, and then there would be no troops to delay time for Yun Country in the future.

"Retreat."

Meng Huo waved his hand helplessly and said, "Notify the city in the rear, immediately organize people to build fortifications, press more sandbags, don't be smashed by stone bullets." ”

"Yes."

Several generals nodded, and then stopped talking, for the retreat, in fact, they were already familiar with it, and they just went through the process.

"What are you doing here?"

After a while, Meng Huo was surprised to find that several generals had no intention of leaving, and they all looked quite worried.

"This ......"

"General, let's say a few more words, don't be angry."

"Well, the morale in the army is now ......"

Meng Huo frowned, glanced at the faces of several generals, and asked, "If you have something to say, why are you swallowing it so slowly, grinding and chirping." ”

Several generals exchanged glances with each other, and Cao Wuxian said, "General, there is a rumor in the army now. ”

"What rumors?"

"This is a rumor from the army, saying that someone saw the general leave the camp in the middle of the night and went to the location of the Suzaku Legion, and then every time the Suzaku Army attacked, we all retreated......"

"What the hell do you mean!"

Meng Huo suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened angrily.

"It is rumored in the army that the general has been rebelled by the Cang army, so he cooperated with the Vermilion Bird Legion and annexed the Yun Kingdom, in order not to make the defeat too obvious and not to arouse the vigilance of the imperial court, so he slowly retreated......"

"What!"

Meng Huo was furious, he already knew what Cao Wuxian meant.

In the army, it was rumored that he had betrayed the country and colluded with the Suzaku Army!

"General, it's not that we don't trust you, but now it's rumored throughout the army, we just see that the situation is serious, so we remind one or two, and we don't have any other intentions." Cao Wuxian explained.

"Yes, yes, yes! Those of us who are subordinates are all fought out by following the general's corpse and blood, and naturally we can trust the general's character, but the soldiers below don't believe it, and we can't ...... it."

"Yesterday, my subordinates had executed a few soldiers who had discussed in private, but I didn't expect to get up early this morning and find that the rumors spread even more in the army."

After the generals finished speaking, they lowered their heads again and said no more.

Meng Huo only felt that there was a breath of qi in his chest running around, turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't help himself.

At this critical and sensitive period, such rumors have been spread!

Where is this slandering him, this is asking for his life, it is asking for the life of these 200,000 troops!

And no matter what the soldiers below say about him, just the court can't explain it!

He had no doubt that at this moment there were spies from all forces in the imperial court.

Once this rumor reached the imperial court, then the entire army was in danger.

What he feared most was inevitable.

With a dark face, Meng Huo asked, "When did the rumor come out?" ”

"The day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday...... Meng Huo became more and more frightened, and asked again: "What is the reaction of the soldiers in the army?" Can someone make trouble? Is morale low? Is it panicking? ”

"This ......"

Several generals looked at each other and exchanged glances, all of which were a little hesitant.

"Cao Wuxian, you come." Meng Huo said in a deep voice.

"Actually, the general thinks the opposite." The expression on Cao Wuxian's face was a little unnatural, and he paused and said: "The generals and soldiers in the army are very relaxed at the moment, after discussing what treatment they will receive after returning to Cangguo, and how much land they can get after they are disarmed and returned to the field." ”
