514 - Lack of food

Runan was in a hurry, and within three days, forty soldiers were sent out in a row to ask for help.

However, it was as if they were sinking into the sea, and there was no response.

Zhao He was anxious like an ant in a hot pot every day, and every day outside Runan City, as long as it was morning, the attack would start on time.

God, last night's battle didn't end until dawn.

In such a hurry, rushing to reincarnate or what?

It's not that Wang Xiaolai is in a hurry to attack, the main thing is that this guy comes once every hour, and every time he attacks, he is making a big fanfare, as if the whole world knows about it, but when you are ready for everything, and you go to the city to fight with him, this guy retreats again.

It's like playing with you, but you don't dare to take it as a wait, after all, every time he attacks, it's like a decisive battle, if you don't pay attention, how do you know when he's playing with you.

So much so that every time Zhao He just lay down and didn't close his eyes, he was woken up, and hurriedly got up to go to the city to see, and the group withdrew as if they had discussed.

You can really use the word hooligan to describe this gang.

Zhao He simply had a headache.

In fact, the biggest headache is not him, but the vassal kings who came to support after receiving the news.

Except for Zhao Sui, who was frightened, the rest of the vassal kings all sent people to support, but without exception, they were all killed in the periphery.

Ning Shiguang and Shen Xiping were let go, and in just three days, they wiped out seven or eight thousand rebels who supported them.

I also learned that there were ambushes to intercept them, and those rebels also learned to be obedient, still depending on how you are in a hurry, we just don't come, anyway, the thief is Zhao Sui, he is not worried about the gains and losses of Runan, what are we anxious about.

Wang Xiaolai stood on the edge of the sand table, looking at the whereabouts of the rebels in the past few days, looking left and right, knocking on the upper and lower gums, and said: "It's been three days, and Zhao Sui hasn't moved, is he really giving up Runan?" โ€

Liu Mianyi hesitated for a moment: "It depends on the situation, it should be like this, otherwise, it doesn't make sense for three days, and there is no news yet." โ€

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand: "No matter what, we don't suffer anyway, it's just that the reinforcements collected these days are a little less, only seven or eight thousand, but there is a Runan compensation, which is okay, Lao Liu, how is the situation in Runan now?" โ€

Hearing this, Liu Mianyi smiled directly.

His smile made Wang Xiaolai stunned for a moment: "What are you laughing at?" โ€

Liu Mianyi said: "My lord, it's not me boasting, the current Runan, everyone is in danger, and the defenders in the city are also tossed enough, as long as we charge, we can stand on the head of Runan City tomorrow." โ€

Wang Xiaolai was also happy: "So exaggerated? โ€

Liu Mian recalled: "That's not it, there are many opportunities to take the city these days, but I just thought about the orders of the adults, so I held back my hand and didn't dare to continue to rush up." โ€

Wang Xiaolai was stunned when he heard this, and sighed.

Liu Mianyi smiled and said, "After all, my lord, your tired enemy's plan is too shameless. โ€

Wang Xiaolai shrugged: "Then you can't blame me, who let Zhao He be so good, if there are too many others, where will I use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, that is, to bully you There are few people, so I use this method to harass back and forth, so that they are tired of coping, regardless of their heads, and full of flaws." โ€

Wang Xiaolai's words amused all the generals in the tent.

Wang Xiaolai said again: "But then again, Lao Liu, since you have a chance, why don't you take down the wall, so as to scare Zhao He." โ€

Liu Mianyi was speechless: "Isn't that what you said about pretending?" โ€

Wang Xiaolai: "ยทยทยท"

"You guy, why are you so realistic, you don't do things like you, you have to take advantage of it, such a simple truth, do you still need me to teach you?"

Liu Mianyi: "ยทยทยท"

"My lord, you have confused me, and my head hurts."

Liu Mian recalled.

Wang Xiaolai laughed, following himself for so many days, Liu Mianyi also learned a lot of words in his own world, and even Xiu could say it.

"But everyone has worked hard these days, after defeating Zhao Sui and returning to the court, I will personally tell Your Majesty to give you important officials, if Your Majesty is stingy, I will live in the palace and not come out."

Everyone smacked their tongues when they heard it, that is, Wang Xiaolai dared to say this, if you change anyone, do you dare to be so nonsense?

When he was smiling, Xian Jingyu walked in outside, and the expression on his face was a little wrong.

Wang Xiaolai looked up at him: "Jingyu, what's wrong, is something wrong?" โ€

Xian Jingyu said: "My lord, it seems that there is not enough food and grass in the army?" โ€

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Not enough? โ€

Xian Jingyu nodded: "That's the case, the grain and grass are only enough to last for four days." โ€

"No, didn't Lei Chong send Nanyang's grain?"

"It's sent, the food sent by the people has been sent, but it's only enough for four days, after all, the soldiers are in chaos, and the people don't have much surplus food in their hands, just this, it's still from the mouth and sent to the army, how much can it be."

Wang Xiaolai frowned: "What's the situation in Daxing City?" Didn't we have food in stock? โ€

Xian Jingyu shook his head: "There has been no news from Daxing City for half a month. Not to mention the previous stored grain, it was all moldy and smelly grain, which was inedible at all. โ€

"How can this be, Your Majesty shouldn't be slamming the door on this kind of thing, shoddy, Your Majesty won't do this kind of thing, what's more, it's such an important thing right now." Wang Xiaolai lowered his head and pondered.

Just thinking about it, when I looked up, I saw that the expressions of the officers in the tent had changed slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaolai said that he couldn't mess up first, so he took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I know, eighty percent of it was delayed by something on the road, most likely it was Zhao Sui's ghost who cut off our army's food supply." โ€

Xian Jingyuxin said no, if it was Zhao Sui's grain channel, he should know the news, and when he looked up and saw Wang Xiaolai giving him a look, he understood, and cooperated at the moment, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "It's definitely like this." โ€

The generals suddenly realized, and then they let out an oh sound, followed by, and asked Wang Xiaolai: "My lord, if this is the case, what should we do?" If you don't have food to fight, you can't fight. โ€

Wang Xiaolai stood up with a smile: "Of course I know this, Zhao Sui did this, just forcing us to do it, okay, I will do what Zhao Sui wants, Runan City, I will accept it, isn't it just a grain road, there is grain stored by the rebels in Runan City, I don't believe it, can he Zhao Sui still starve to death?" โ€

When the generals heard this, they also got up: "Marshal, give an order, let's do something to Runan." โ€

Between the words, it is the task of the main attack of the crowd.

Wang Xiaolai smiled and arranged it, with Jia Kang attacking, Pei Fang attacking, Xian Jingyu supporting from all sides, Liu Mianyi and himself sitting in the Chinese army as a reserve, and soon, the battle against Runan has been decided.

After arranging everyone's tasks, after everyone retreated, Wang Xiaolai's face changed completely, he left Xian Jingyu and wrote a letter to the empress about the supply problem, and asked Xian Jingyu to find someone to send back to Daxing City overnight, and said that if Daxing City was unable to turn around, let the empress go to Echo Valley to get food.

Anyway, after subduing the three monsters of Heishuitan and becoming the king of the three barbarians, the beautiful patriarch of the mountain tribe, Toto, didn't want Wang Xiaolai's food and provided him with tobacco for free.

After all, the fish apes are gone, so what do you need that huge amount of food for? Just enough to eat.

It is precisely because of this that the grain that Wang Xiaolai purchased on a large scale before was piled up, and there was nowhere to consume it.

After sending away the letter, Wang Xiaolai stood in the tent with his hands in his hand, thinking in his heart, it stands to reason that Daxingcheng has already greeted Shu Jiuchai, and every month, he has sent 200,000 taels of silver, plus the commission of 500,000 taels of silver that the empress should have, 700,000 taels, which should be enough for the army's expenses, and there should not be a shortage of supplies, but why, this kind of thing still happens?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

Runan City, Zhao He gathered a group of generals under the account, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, for three days in a row, he had rested for less than two hours, and the whole person felt dizzy, almost as if he was about to die, as the commander-in-chief, let alone the soldiers below.

"Everyone, it seems that Zhao Sui and them have already abandoned us, since they are unkind first, don't blame us for being unrighteous later, I have decided to surrender Wang Xiaolai in three days."
