In the barracks of the border army on behalf of the region, the unfavorable attack for several days not only made the morale of this already weak army more and more demoralized, but also made the physical exertion brought by the siege of the city even worse.

"Generals, stock up on food...... It can last for a day and a half at most, if it is...... If we no longer have access to food and grass, we are afraid that we will ......."

The face of the chief secretary of the border army on behalf of the land became more and more pale, and he worked day and night for the army's food and salary, and his condition was naturally not good, plus the daily diet was some wild vegetables, a little prey and a small mouthful of corn porridge, and the iron-beaten man was about to collapse.

"Alas, what can I do about it!"

A general named Qi Sheng couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared, no longer caring whether such a roar would affect the morale of the army.

Morale?

Where does today's border army still have a military heart?

"Think about how the brothers can find a way to survive." The son who was faintly respected by everyone as the main general was still calm, and said calmly, "No matter what, at least we can't let these more than 100,000 brothers starve to death here." ”

"Brother Ziqian, we are all born with mud legs, we have never read military books, we are all martial artists who only know how to slash and kill, you can help the brothers think of a way." The generals of the border army looked at Ziqian together.

The surname "Zi" is not uncommon, but it is extremely noble.

The ancestor of Shang, for the Situ of Shun, was enshrined in Shang and given the surname.

The ancestor of the Shang royal family was named Wei, because he was born in Yinshui, with "Yin" as his surname, and later assisted Dayu to control the water, and was sealed by Emperor Shun in the Shang land and given the surname "Zi", which is the origin of the surname of the child.

Later, Tang Yao sealed Xihe's son and uncle as the elder of Beiyue, and his uncle came to the house, and Shang Tang and the elder of Datong Beiyue sealed the nobles with the same surname as the son, and the son established the country, and the land belonged to Jizhou. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the son of the dynasty was called the king, and the king of Chu was called king in the north and south, and the royal family of the Central Zhou Dynasty was honored.

Before the son, he was a descendant of the Shang royal family and a descendant of the acting king.

In the past, Zhao Xiangzi assassinated the acting king at a banquet and sent troops to seize the land of the generation, and the heir of the acting prince was saved from killing under the protection of the generation, and the son was the descendant of the prince of the era.

The ancestors of the former son also tried to raise troops in Daidi to restore the country, and also suffered many bloody suppressions and killings, and when it came to the generation of the grandfather before the son, there was no ambition to restore the country at all, but the Zi clan still has a high prestige in Daidi.

At the beginning, he angrily reprimanded the ministers in the temple of Zhao State, and he was the one who could take over Li Mu's command and bring the border army back to the generation, and only he could do it.

Now, however, he found that they had returned to Daidi and could do nothing.

It's not that no one has thought of disbanding the army directly, did the Qin people dare to massacre and kill the people of Guangdai to hunt them down?

But Ziqian has always been against it, not because he was worried that Qin Jun would pursue it.

At this moment, the Qin State hoped that this army would be disbanded and the border army would return to their hometown to resume production, but Ziqian was worried about the food shortage faced by the people in the future after returning to their hometown.

The border army of Daidi marched south, and the people left behind on Daidi were some women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and they could not cultivate a few acres of land at all, and the people of Daidi would definitely face a year of famine, and they did not know how many generations they would starve to death.

and surrendered, fearing that he would repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Changping and be killed by the Qin army.

And just as Ziqian was meditating, a herald suddenly entered the big tent, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said: "Generals, Changshi, the Qin army has sent a messenger and brought ......."

The herald's voice attracted the attention of the generals.

"What else did you bring?" Ziqian frowned, and there was a faint premonition in his heart.

"I also brought ten carts of grain and tens of thousands of letters from the soldiers."

Rumble!

Ziqian got up, just wanted to be angry, but he suppressed this anger vividly, and glanced at the generals around him, and their faces were a little surprised.

Unlike the Qin generals in Turbid Deer City, he knew better than anyone how hard these food and family letters would be a heavy blow to this already crumbling border army at this moment.

This is a serious illness that is about to die, and the ten carts of grain, grass and family letters sent by Zhang Ji to send a messenger seem to be treating this patient with medicine, but that dose of fierce medicine is enough to completely destroy the body of a seriously ill person who is extremely weak, just like a hungry person who has been hungry for a long time will be strangled to death if he immediately overeats.

"Qin Jun...... How vicious! ”

I didn't dare to say this at all, so I could only roar in my heart.

If you want to say that the descendants of the former king have no ambition to return to the country, I'm afraid no one will believe it, in fact, several other generals of the border army on behalf of the land can also see some signs, but they have not stopped it.

Why do the rebellions and uprisings of all dynasties often need to support others in order to continue on this path?

Even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a certain head of the military government who was forced to take up his post, Li 丨 Yuan 丨 Hong, in the final analysis, if you want to establish a local separatist regime, you must definitely have a person with enough prestige as the leader.

As a descendant of the king, Ziqian has an unparalleled prestige in the dynasty, which naturally meets this rule.

The most important thing is that Ziqian has repeatedly made military exploits, and his relationship with the generals in the army is also extremely harmonious, and he is literate and hyphenated, has read many books, and has served as the chief bookkeeper of the long history and march for a long time, and has the means to deal with government affairs.

This is especially rare.

After all, in the three counties of Daidi, which are impoverished and plagued by foreign races, the per capita education level is close to prenatal education, and the people who are literate and hyphenated are either criminals who were degraded by the temples of Zhao State, or nobles and scholars who came to take refuge in the war, and most of the real local generations are mud legs without any culture.

Ziqian, who has both prestige and wisdom, is naturally revered as a leader by everyone, but how much loyalty is there...... It's hard to say a word, so Ziqian didn't dare to reprimand him at all.

For the hungry and homesick soldiers, food and family letters are the things they crave the most at the moment, and they will not change their money!

If anyone stands in the way, they will be torn to pieces by the red-eyed soldiers.

Ziqian gave up obstruction, and could only let the ten carts of grain and grass sent by the Qin envoy be taken away by the men without military orders to make a fire for cooking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please line up and come up to receive the letter according to the name that was called. Robbers, don't blame me for not sending letters to my family. ”

Cheng Miao watched the overwhelming pressure of the border army on behalf of the land, and he was also a little panicked at first, but he immediately realized how terrible the effect of his general's strategy was, so the generals of the border army shouted and gave orders.

It is also ridiculous to say that as the main book of the Qin army, the Qin envoy who came to the military camp of the border army on behalf of the land easily lined up the border army on behalf of the land with a single sentence, and many middle and lower-level officers also spontaneously obeyed his orders and maintained order.

If it weren't for the fact that these soldiers in front of him were all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, Cheng Miao would have thought that he had returned to the Qin army camp.

Cheng Miao looked at the group of officials shouting the name of a famous local border army soldier, suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the two counties of Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, the Qin army has not captured them for the time being, so I am really embarrassed that there is no family letter from these two counties." ”

Hearing this, Ziqian was a little angry.

Co-authored with you, the Qin army didn't capture Yunzhong County and Yanmen County, and you still have to say sorry to us?

These soldiers of the border army on behalf of the land really accepted Cheng Miao's apology, and even some soldiers from Yunzhong County and Yanmen County asked Cheng Miao when he could send their family letters?

Isn't this looking forward to the Qin army capturing Yunzhong County and Yanmen County!

Ziqian felt that either these people in front of him were crazy, or he was crazy!
