Chapter 232: Memories

"If the soldiers can eat enough during the war, then they will not have the strength to fight the enemy, and then the chances of survival will be much greater." Lin Junyu said with emotion.

"Yes! People have been hungry for days, and they have the strength to fight. I still remember that five years ago, when the enemy army came to fight, orders were issued from above not to retreat, reinforcements were delayed, there was no food in the city, and many people starved to death. Yan Yuqing said with grief.

Song Jingyu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him silently.

"And that matter?" Qian Yan looked at Song Jingyu, and Song Jingyu nodded at her.

"I still remember that battle, it was not as fierce as the other battles, but it was more brutal than all the battles." Song Jingyu's face was heavy, and he recalled: "I still remember that we had just repelled the enemy army, and they retreated to the right not far from Jiangcheng, thinking that they would rest first. But who would have thought that the enemy army, which had been defeated by our army, would suddenly launch a fierce attack on Jiangcheng and take our army by surprise. Just when everyone thought they would take advantage of the victory, the enemy suddenly retreated. The army besieged Jiangcheng to the ground, and the people in the city sent countless people out to deliver letters, but they were unsuccessful. Half a month later, Jiangcheng had no food, and the 100,000 army was starving like that, and by the time we arrived, the army had already collapsed, and many people died of hunger. In the end, Song Jingyu couldn't speak, everything was still vivid at that time.

"How many people are on the other side? How can we make our 100,000 army unsuccessfully break through. Tanyan asked with mixed feelings.

"300,000 troops, in fact, our army has tried to break through together, but in the end it failed. Not only that, but the other party also threatened the lives of more than 20 villagers around him, and in the end, we could only defend the city and keep sending people to deliver letters, but they all ended in failure again and again. ”

"By the time we arrived, the enemy had already left first, leaving our soldiers almost completely wiped out." Lin Junyu clenched his fists in his hands, the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged, and the teeth of hatred itched.

"We have all walked on the battlefield and never seen any blood, but it is the first time we have seen soldiers starved to death, and it is not one or two, but a group. That's why I'm here today, I hope you can sell all the potatoes in your hands to us, so that we can take them back and let more people plant them, and I hope that fewer people will starve to death in the future. Lin Junyu said pleadingly.

"This is no problem, wait for me to let people inform, report all the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and help you send them to various places together when the time comes, and you will also bring some back when you go back, so that you don't have to go back and forth, and the time and manpower will be reduced a lot." He smiled and responded.

"I really admire the open-mindedness of the face, and we thank you here first." Saying that, Lin Junyu and Yan Yuqing got up and saluted.

"I'm happy to be able to help, but since I'm buying, I still have to pay for the potatoes." Said with a smile on his face.

Lin Junyu and Yan Yuqing glanced at each other and asked, "I don't know what price Yan plans to sell?" Truth be told, if it's too high, the treasury may not be able to come out. Yan Yuqing asked with some embarrassment.

"With Yan'er's character, I won't ask you for a high price, you will only make money, not lose." Song Jingyu knew what the two wanted at a glance, and said with a light face.

Lin Junyu and Yan Yuqing scratched their heads and smirked.
