As soon as the sun had risen, Arub came out of his tent, ascended the high watchtower, and looked greedily at the most magnificent and prosperous city under the sky before him, and at this moment a fire swelled up in his heart, and he was overwhelmed with excitement at the thought that such a great city was about to succumb to his horse's hooves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How long has it been since the last time you groveled to the officials living in the city to open a mutual market? He appeared here as a conqueror with an army of 200,000 men, which Arub thought was as unbelievable as a dream; Of course, it has been almost a month since the army came under the city walls, but his wise national teacher did not issue the order to attack the city, but just constantly sent teams of men and horses to clear the Qinwang army that came from all over the country, and kept collecting craftsmen to build siege equipment according to the drawings he made.

However, out of trust in Yuan Zhang, he did not raise any doubts about this, he had never thought that the Mobei Zhubu could defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of Great Wei so easily and attack the other party's capital, all because of the changes brought by Yuan Zhang, then this time he still believed that the other party would not let him down, maybe just a little wait, this huge city would be owned by him.

"Great Khan, today's military discussion is about to begin!" Just as he was in a fantasy, a guard of the king's tent shouted below the watchtower, waking him up from his dream.

"Okay, I'll go down now!" Arubui, who woke up, reluctantly withdrew his gaze, came down from the watchtower, and entered the tent with his own soldiers, and at this time Yuan Zhang, the great shaman and the ten thousand captains of the tribe were already seated, they happily exchanged recent harvests, and the tent continued to resound laughter, which formed a sharp contrast with the lifeless capital city.

"Warriors of Mobei, how many Great Wei soldiers did you kill yesterday?" Arub sat down on a tiger skin chair at the top of the tent and asked with a smile.

"Yesterday, I followed the orders of the Great Khan and the National Teacher to go to the south to meet the Qinwang army, who knew that those southerners scattered and fled as soon as they saw our banner, and it took a long time to catch hundreds of soldiers, so that they didn't take care of taking food and weapons away when they fled, otherwise they would lose money this time." Yalehan of Yale replied with a laugh, because he had won the trust of Arub because he was the first to come forward, and he had drawn thousands of warriors from other tribes to join his command, and now he had gone from an inconspicuous tribal leader in Mobei to the most favored commander under Arubb.

"Yesterday, we pursued dozens of miles along the avenue west of the capital, defeated 30,000 Qinwang troops, captured hundreds of stones of grain and grass, and countless weapons." The other captain replied quickly.

The tent gradually became lively, and the commanders who were guarding the four sides of the capital reported their results yesterday, which were no different from the previous days, and they all won the victory easily, but there were not many captures.

"Great Khan, there is not much food and grass in the army now, if you don't attack the city again, I'm afraid there won't be enough food to eat." After the commanders finished reporting the results of the battle, Yilie, who was in charge of military supplies and grass, said a sad news with a straight face, he was a relative of Arubu's wife, and he had studied writing with shamans since he was a child, and he was one of the few people in Mobei who could read and count.

"National Teacher, in your opinion, is it possible to start attacking the city now?" After Arubu finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the tent were focused on Yuan Zhang, they had all heard the legend of this great city, and now they saw that it was in front of them, but they could not enter the city due to his order, which made these people feel tormented in their hearts.

"The soldiers of Great Wei did not dare to fight with us in the field, but they still had the courage to stand on the city wall and throw stones down." Yuan Zhang didn't seem to see the eagerness in their eyes, and said lightly, "The warriors of Mobei are not good at attacking cities, and many equipment have not yet been built, so it is not the time to attack the city." ”

"But now there is not much food in the army, and the seizures have become less and less these days, and the National Teacher has strictly ordered us not to harass the people of Dragon City, if we wait like this, where will the food come from?" Yi Liesting asked unwillingly, speaking of which, the most jealous of Yuan Zhang in this big tent may be him, if it weren't for Yuan Zhang, who else would be the one who is now called the national teacher?

"Dragon City is now owned by the Great Khan, and the people of Dragon City have become the people of the Great Khan, how can there be any reason to rob their own people?" Yuan Zhang retorted first, and then continued, "Don't worry about food, someone will send it to us later, you still go back and wait patiently, it won't be long before the capital will be captured by us." ”

"200,000 people need a lot of food." Yi Liejian said unwillingly, he had also tested Yuan Zhang more before, but he was easily resolved by the other party, but this time he couldn't guess how Yuan Zhang planned to solve the food problem, which Qinwang army itself was poor, and the surrounding cities and villages were almost robbed by them, Yuan Zhang strictly ordered them not to harass the people, they could only rob the officials and rich households, and the harvest was far less than what the army needed.

"Since the national teacher said that there is no need to worry about food, then you don't have to worry about it, go down and act according to the orders of the national teacher!" Arubu didn't wait for Yuan Zhang to speak, he took the initiative to stand up and solve the problem for him, and after an order, everyone stood up one after another, saluted him and withdrew from the big tent.

When only the two of them were left in the tent, Arub couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where does the national teacher plan to get the food?" ”

"Great Khan, where is the place with the most food around now?" Yuan Zhang asked rhetorically.

Arub looked out along the gate of the tent and saw the towering walls of the capital, and he replied thoughtfully, "I'm afraid the place with the most food in this neighborhood is the capital!" ”

"That's right, Great Khan, please rest assured, the food in the capital is enough to meet the needs of 200,000 troops." Yuan Zhang replied confidently.

Arub was suddenly confused, didn't he say that it was not yet time to attack the city? If they don't attack the city, they won't be able to enter the capital, and if they can't enter the capital, how can they get the food in the capital? Perhaps seeing his doubts, Yuan Zhang revealed the mystery, "I have my own way to make the officials of Great Wei obediently send grain out of the city." ”

After saying that, Yuan Zhang got up and slowly walked to the door of the big tent, called a personal soldier and ordered, "Go, bring in the Great Wei envoys outside the camp, the national division wants to meet them." (To be continued.) )
