Chapter 396: Cutting off food and grass
And the Sun King, who had left with his tail between his legs, was melancholy in the camp.
He held his glass, his eyes unblew, and he sighed from time to time, then laughed at himself.
The eyes of the others were on him all the time, and the atmosphere was as low as zero.
None of them dared to speak, and they all knew in their hearts that the Sun King's current situation was very difficult.
"All drinking! What are you looking at me for? ”
The Sun King's face twitched, and he was thrown out with a flick of his hand, and it landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
The others seemed to be frightened, and they trembled and picked them up, and falsely toasted each other, their eyes glancing at the Sun King from time to time.
"Lord Wang, please calm your anger, Weichen has a way, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
A tall, but somewhat old man left his seat and walked to the center.
Hearing this, the Sun King came back to his senses, took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and looked at him with some expectation in his eyes.
"Say, there's no other way now." The Sun King pursed his lips with a helpless expression.
"Since the other party doesn't come out now, then we will make a plan, catch the turtle in the urn with a trick, cut off their food and grass, and then surround them again, making it difficult for them to fly." The man said with a sly smile on his face and a treacherous tone.
As soon as the words fell, the Sun King touched his chin and frowned slightly.
Immediately, he looked at the man in front of him and laughed heartily.
Then he went down and came to the man and patted him on the shoulder.
"The idea is good, just do what you say."
There was a slight hint of pride in the eyes of the Sun King, as if he was about to succeed before he could do anything.
Without hesitation, the Sun King immediately picked up the map and began to arm.
After circling the map, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately ordered to go down and start acting.
King Lieyang first sent a group of people to investigate the situation in Xuanyuan Hao's military camp.
After a rough reconnaissance, he secretly sent several teams to surround his military camp, forming two circles.
The inner layer is relatively weak, mainly responsible for consuming the enemy's strength, and the outside elite will carry out deadly attacks.
Xuanyuan Hao soon received the news that the Sun King was surrounding them, and pressed his temples with one hand, his brows furrowed.
"This trick is to cut off our grain and grass and then kill them all, this king really underestimated him."
Xuanyuan Hao picked up the map and looked at it, they were now passive.
"Celestial, how long will our food and grass last?" Xuanyuan Hao put down the map and asked at Celestial Shadow.
"Back to the prince, it can last for a month at most." Celestial Shadow's face was quite worried, and his brow was furrowed.
Xuanyuan Hao let out a long sigh, and the sword eyebrows that were obliquely inserted into his temples were slightly twisted, revealing a faint worry.
Now I can only ask the imperial court for support, otherwise it will be so consumed, and I will be defeated before the war starts.
In desperation, he picked up a pen and paper and left a black mark on the paper as he carefully selected the words.
The letter is surrounded by the enemy, and I am afraid that there will be a shortage of food and grass, so I write this letter in the hope that grain and grass will be delivered as soon as possible.
It's a matter of success or failure, so don't delay.
After Tianying took the letter away, Xuanyuan Hao stood outside the tent and looked at the starry sky.
It seems that this may be a protracted battle, and I don't know when I will be able to see her.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Qi has been secretly monitoring Xuanyuan Hao's every move.
He learned from the spies that Xuanyuan Hao had sent a letter tonight, so he immediately sent someone to stop the letter.
In the palace, Xuanyuan Qi held the letter in his hand, frowning thoughtfully, and his eyes did not know where to fall in front of him.
"Xuanyuan Hao, don't you want to fight with this palace? This time, this palace will make you unable to hold your head up in front of the people, and make you a sinner for the rest of your life. Xuanyuan Qi clenched the letter, his hands trembling.
Then he put the letter into the fire and burned it, took out a new piece of stationery, imitated Xuanyuan Hao's notes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"I am surrounded by the enemy today, and I have collected food from the people, please raise it quickly, those who do not respect the defenders are not patriotic, and there is nothing wrong with deportation."
Xuanyuan read it again, nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed his subordinates to spread the contents of the letter as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, the people in the city were discussing this matter, and they obviously had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xuanyuan Hao.
"Why is this King Hao like this? Just know that we people are being squeezed! ”
"That's it, my poor family can't eat, and I donate it to them."
"I heard that if you don't donate, you will be deported, isn't this embarrassing?"
……
The streets and alleys were full of discussions, and there was a lot of complaint.
Towards noon, a group of officers and soldiers with weapons wandered up and down the street.
They scavenged food from each house, and those who really didn't have food at home would punch and kick them, and they would not leave until they had enough.
The whole street was suddenly in chaos, and the people could hide, but if they couldn't, they would be beaten. vp
"You brutes! Is there still a bit of humanity? I'm going to fight with you today! ”
A woman placed her child in the corner of the bed, picked up a stool and smashed it.
"We are just acting on orders, if you want to blame Xuanyuan Hao, who is far away on the border, besides, you will not let you donate some food, you are not patriotic at all!"
A soldier grabbed the woman's arm and spatted at the ground.
"Let's go, next!"
The soldiers went out with them, and when they saw that many people were still fleeing in the street, they went up and picked up their valuable things without saying a word.
"These are all to support those brothers on the border, but they are all ordered by Lord Hao, we are all just acting on orders, and you are all obediently cooperating, this is for the country!" The leading soldier stood in the middle of the street and said proudly.
Originally, those people were fed up with the nest, and when they heard this, they suddenly lost their temper.
Many people did not hide anymore, and hundreds of people went out into the street and cursed at the soldiers.
However, they didn't dare to blatantly scold those soldiers, but scolded Xuanyuan Hao, who was far away on the border.
All of a sudden, the streets were filled with the voices of the people complaining.
Shen Ruoxiao was about to go to the street to buy some things, but as soon as he went out, he heard these words of abuse of Xuanyuan Hao, and he didn't feel a little angry.
These are certainly slanders, but who is spreading the rumors?
Listening to the discussion of the people, Xuanyuan Hao seemed to be in trouble.
All of a sudden, all kinds of bad emotions came to her heart, and ten thousand thoughts flashed in her heart, and the most was worried about Xuanyuan Hao.
Shui Su looked at Shen Ruoxiao on the side, sighed, and then took her with one hand and pulled her towards the center of the street.
"Miss, let's not stay in such a conspicuous place for too long to avoid being innocently implicated."
At this time, Shen Ruohan glanced at Shen Ruoxiao while hiding in the crowd.
Seeing that she was leaving, Shen Ruohan immediately found someone casually and gave him two taels of silver for him to identify Shen Ruoxiao.
I saw that the man walked up to Shen Ruoxiao and shouted at the crowd: "Princess Hao is here, everyone come quickly!"
His call really attracted a lot of ordinary people, and Shen Ruoxiao's water was blocked.
Shui Su immediately stood in front of her, arms outstretched, protecting her.
"What do you want to do, stay away from our young lady."
The man who received the money continued to stand up again, stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Ruoxiao, with a righteous and indignant expression.
"Both of them are black-hearted people! The money collected by the prince of Hao was all for this princess Hao to open a shop, otherwise how could her family's business be so good? ”
The man led the rhythm, looking like the vulnerable group was being victimized, which made the people feel the same way.
In an instant, those people rushed into Shen Ruoxiao's shop as if they were crazy.
They jumped up and down in the store, picked up things and smashed them, making a crackling sound.
Tianshun and some other guys immediately began to stop them, but they didn't dare to hit people easily.
In addition, there are so many people that they simply cannot control it.
Shen Ruoxiao turned around and glanced at the store, and then walked inside unhurriedly, Shui Su followed her closely.
"If this can bring back your food, you can smash it." Shen Ruoxiao walked to the center and yelled loudly.
"Anyway, our food can't come back, otherwise you, the culprit, will suffer a little loss, how can you be worthy of our hard work?" After speaking, the five-five and three-thick man smashed it unceremoniously.
"Don't you think that's too much? Whoever robs you of your food will go to whomever he wants? What is the ability to bully us? Shui Su immediately stood up unconvinced, and tears were about to come out.
The people around them acted as if they hadn't heard, and the speed of smashing things in their hands couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Shen Ruoxiao pulled the water behind him and glanced at the group of people who were smashing things.
She understood, but if she slammed it like this, her store would collapse.
"Stop now, you have been robbed of your food, and the princess will return all of it, and you will not wait for the deadline." Shen Ruoxiao's face was grim, exuding undoubted majesty.
When the people heard this, they immediately stopped and looked at Shen Ruoxiao with eager eyes.
"Why should we believe you?"
"This princess does what she says, believe it or not, it's up to you." Shen Ruoxiao raised his eyebrows, then turned to look at Tianshun.
"Tianshun, go and open the granary, take these people to receive food, and you must not give less."
Shen Ruoxiao said and took out a key from his waist and handed it to Tianshun.
Tianshun looked reluctant, and squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Ruoxiao, but Shen Ruoxiao pretended not to see it.
"No, it's not that you robbed them of their grain, it's clear that someone framed you, why do you want to open a warehouse to release grain, and suffer this loss in vain?"
Tianshun didn't fight anywhere, but his eyes were full of pleading when he looked at Shen Ruoxiao.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll go when I tell you to."
Shen Ruoxiao's tone was undoubted, he glared at Tianshun, and didn't say anything more.
Tianshun was still motionless there, and Shen Ruoxiao had no choice but to focus on the people in front of him.
"You guys line up by yourself first, don't grab it, I guarantee that everyone can get the corresponding food." Shen Ruoxiao stood with his hands in his hands, his voice was not loud but very imposing.
