The enemy chooses the crossbow instead of the bow because the crossbow doesn't have to be pulled away with much effort. And the gun and the ge, which are heavier than the knife, are very laborious to wield.

Combined with what the ghost generals mentioned before, the enemy army has been listless recently, Xiao Shizhu can predict the enemy outside the city with just a little thought, but he is afraid that he will be hungry and have a full meal.

Xiao Shizhu's face was a little proud, all kinds of signs were on the surface, and the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty outside the city was about to run out of food.

"It seems that our enemy army is about to eat the dirt. Xiao Shizhu pointed to the outside of Manjiang City on the sand table with a horsewhip in his hand, and said with a smile: "In a few days, they will mess with themselves." ”。

When the demons heard this, they just laughed. The only Gu Shooting Goddess nodded heavily in conviction, convinced of Xiao Shizhu's words.

The other ghost generals didn't want to believe Xiao Shizhu, but they didn't believe much that the millions of troops outside the city were about to run out of food.

This matter has been said since before Xiao Shizhu went to rob the grain, but the Xudu army outside the city still has not retreated, and it has maintained an attack on time and in accordance with the amount every day, which doesn't look like there is no food.

Zhu Hai and Ji Yan, as well as Yuhua's faces and eyes, were a little suspicious.

"You don't have to be suspicious, of course you want to be suspicious, and I don't object to it. But go find a few chickens, and put them on the city wall to roast at three times a day, morning, noon and evening, and the more fragrant the roast, the better. Let the river breeze and the stream breeze drift out of the city with the aroma of barbecue meat......" Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly paused, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said: "Let the smell of meat make the enemy hungry." ”。

After saying this, Xiao Shizhu smiled again. He's like that, it's not enough to kill the enemy, he doesn't feel a sense of accomplishment just to win, and he doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't play some pranks on the enemy in battle.

However, after laughing, Xiao Shizhu saw that there was still a little puzzlement in the doubts on the faces of Ji Yan and Zhu Hai, so he asked leisurely: "Two, have you thought about why the enemy army has been using crossbows instead of bows recently?"

Ji Yan and Zhu Hai were stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other, they looked at Xiao Shizhu again with incomprehensible eyes, and shook their heads in unison.

They hadn't really thought about it, they had just noticed it, but they hadn't thought about it.

"Because the bow requires strength to pull it away, and the strength of the bow varies from pound to weight. The crossbow only needs to pull the trigger to shoot the crossbow arrows in the arrow box. Xiao Shizhu smiled again and patiently explained to them: "In the same way, if you wield a long and heavy spear Jin Ge, it will definitely be more laborious than a dancing knife. What's more, the enemy has been shelling the walls of the city wall for a long time, which means that their infantry has not had the strength to charge recently. Otherwise, how expensive the shells are, and when it comes to the need to hold on, who will only fire the cannon and not charge. ”。

As soon as he said this, Ji Yan and Zhu Hai immediately realized. The suspicion and incomprehension on his face also disappeared in an instant.

"However, if they want to die and suffer to save face, then we must persevere in the fact that they will be cut off from food to the end. Xiao Shizhu put away his smile and shouted outside the door: "Shenji, you come in." ”。

The voice fell, and the god who had been waiting outside the door hurriedly entered.

"Order the Sparrowhawk and the co-workers to let their sailors and warships work together to blockade the major docks on the west coast of Dongyizhou. The task is still that, mainly to intercept and attack all the fleets that transport food for the Dongyizhou Xudu Army. Don't ask for all of them, but if you can destroy a batch, it's a batch. But if they encounter, they will sink the warship and burn a large amount of grain and grass. Shenji jumped onto the sand table, and Xiao Shizhu ordered, as always, in easy-to-understand language, and then smiled at Shenji, and the smile was full of treachery and cunning, so that Shenji couldn't help but feel happy. Glad that he was not Xiao Shizhu's enemy.

Xiao Shizhu is not naïve, he knows that this time the food robbery on land is just to starve the army for a while. Moreover, the old ghost of the Emperor Xudu must have taken this unfavorable situation into account in the battle plan.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the army, it is impossible to interrupt the grain and grass sent from Liutianzhou. If you don't continue to rob the other party's grain, grass and grain ships at sea, it is simply impossible to make the Xudu soldiers who are fighting in Dongyizhou have been hungry all the time.

"No. After Shen Ji responded, he began to concentrate on transmitting Xiao Shizhu's military order.

"Let's plan how to attack the enemy outside the city in a rhythmic and regular manner. There's only one theme, annoying them. Xiao Shizhu then picked up the horsewhip and pointed to the junction of the Corpse Soul Army and the Fusang Army outside the city on the sand table......

The moonlight was cool and flawless, sprinkled on Luo Yu Mountain, illuminating the halls and pavilions of the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace, diffusing among the golden splendor surrounded by mist, rendering out peace and tranquility.

Emperor Xudu was in the depths of the Heavenly Temple in the Middle Heavenly Hall of Beiyin, and he was sitting on a straw mat, without the slightest drowsiness on his face. He had been insomnia for several days, but it was not troublesome, but the surrender of the ghost kingdoms of Fenglin Continent and the stability of the southwest of the underworld made him excited.

For thousands of years, for various reasons, he has never held the Ten Continents firmly in his hands. Now that Fenglin Continent has no ghost country with a feudal system, the land under the actual control of the Northern Yin Dynasty has reached five continents, which is half of the land in the underworld.

Emperor Xudu saw a glimmer of hope in this. This is his hope of completely controlling all parts of the underworld and unifying the ten continents to strengthen the imperial power.

However, after rejoicing and thinking about it carefully, Emperor Xudu also felt that if it weren't for Xiao Shizhu and other ghost kings, this time it would be too fierce, and he had never thought of cutting the feudal domain to strengthen the centralization of power. From this point of view, Xiao Shizhu and other rebellious Hades are not so hateful.

Thinking about this, Emperor Xudu couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart. The next thing he has to do is to settle down Feng Linzhou as soon as possible. Then the next target is Kunlun Continent or Dongying Continent.

Then, there is Xiao Shizhu's Nine Hidden Kingdoms.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?" Just as Emperor Xudu was sitting in thought, Emperor Song of the Hades, who was kneeling in front of him, opened his mouth to ask.

Emperor Xudu is a hundred times more energetic, and they are sleepy. In the middle of the night, they were summoned to a meeting in the Six Heavens God and Ghost Palace, and the good dreams were noisy, if it weren't for the power of the Emperor Xudu, and the ancient gods, they could pinch them to death at will, they would have scolded their mothers a long time ago.

However, the current king of Yama is also gone; the king of Yama is in Dongyizhou, the king of Qin Guang has already taken refuge in the country of Jiuyou, and the king of Mount Tai has died in battle. The king of Bian Cheng, the king of Chujiang, and the king of the city were all clicked by the Emperor Xudu himself. Now the only Hades kings of the Northern Yin Dynasty are the Song Emperor and the Wuguan King, the Equality King and the Wheel King.

Before Emperor Song could speak, Emperor Xudu raised his eyes and looked in front of him, looking at the few Hades in front of him, although his face was calm, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. At the same time, there was also a bit of hatred surging; hatred for Xiao Shizhu.

He always thought that Xiao Shizhu caused him all this, and he must have counted this account on Xiao Shizhu's head.

"Immediately raise some grain and grass, and the adobe bricks and tiles for the construction of the pass, and transport them to Fenglinzhou together with the silver. After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Xudu finally spoke: "In addition, the silver that the new ghost who has just arrived in the underworld can no longer walk in the underworld. ”。

For a long time, the underworld has been the main culprit of inflation in the underworld. There was too much silver, and it was not proportional to the reserves of goods in the underworld, which made the Northern Yin Dynasty extremely inflated.

I heard that Xiao Shizhu made money by himself and put an end to the circulation of all the hell coins made in the Nine Shadows Country, so as to make the currency of the Nine Shadows Kingdom appreciate and put an end to inflation, and the Emperor Xudu also wanted to follow suit.

However, he miscalculated this time, and he didn't know that behind this seemingly simple thing, it was also the pit that Xiao Shizhu had dug for him a long time ago.

You must know that since the Nine Shadows Kingdom accepted a batch of new ghosts sent by Emperor Xudu about ten years ago, there have been no new ghosts from the human world, and all the new ghosts and ghosts in the future have been born in the underworld.

Xiao Shizhu banned the circulation of the world's netherworld coins, and allowed the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who had the world's netherworld coins in their hands to go to the bank cash cabinet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and exchange them for the Nine Shadows coins at the exchange rate after careful consideration. Then he collected these mortal coins again, took them to various parts of the underworld, and secretly purchased all kinds of war resources.

Inside and out, Xiao Shizhu has made money.

But Emperor Xudu doesn't seem to have such a plan, all he wants is to simply and rudely cut off inflation.

But Emperor Xudu had no plan, but after a little thought, the king of Hades, who was kneeling in front of him, vaguely thought of this rough and simple method, which seemed to be counterproductive.

So, King Ping then raised his head, looked at Emperor Xudu and asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done with the ghost people who have the underworld coins in their hands?"

"It's waste paper. Emperor Xudu didn't want to think about it, so he answered as it should.

He is an ancient god, except for Xiao Shizhu and Xiao Poria, the last ghost with the blood of an ancient god. The powerful power has long made him accustomed to doing small things simply and rudely.

Since Xiao Shizhu did this, then he did it too.

But I don't know that in this way, it is more like Dongshi Xiaofeng, but it will make things worse for the Beiyin Dynasty.

Although several Hades knew that it was very inappropriate to deal with this matter in this way, they did not dare to say much because they were afraid of the Emperor Xudu, so they had to respond resignedly, and under the wave of the Emperor Xudu, they slowly saluted and got up and retreated.

Before the kings of Hades left, Tubo strode in, knelt in front of the Emperor Xudu and buried his head, and at the same time handed the two things in his hand to the Emperor Xudu.

Emperor Xudu took a look, but when he saw that the two things in his hand were a wax pill and a notebook, he reached out and took it. Then he waved his hand again and ordered Tubo to retreat.

After Tubo left, the huge hall became even more empty. The sound of Emperor Xudu crushing the wax pill echoed for a long time between the beams and pillars of the main hall.

He took out a piece of paper from the scattered white wax and unfolded it to look at it, but saw that it was information sent from the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and after confirming that the writing format and handwriting were correct, Emperor Xudu carefully read the contents on it.

It was written that Xiao Shizhu was fighting in the east, as if the food and grass were short and needed to be dispatched urgently, and the ghost mother organization was really collecting grain in the country, and urgently sent out the matter of Dongyizhou, which made the Emperor Xudu very happy after reading it.

Emperor Xudu was already in the midst of lightning and flint, and thought of a clever plan to rob the grain. As long as he knows the grain transportation route, the Beiyin Water Division will enter the sea to the south, and he will be able to snatch Xiao Shizhu's grain and grass and cut off the other party's back road.

In addition to the joy, the Emperor Xudu was also a little excited. He picked up the notebook with a trembling hand, and after unfolding it to look at it, the faint smile that appeared on his face immediately froze.

The content of the recital was nothing else, but an urgent report for food sent on cloudy and repeated days in Dongyizhou.

For a while, Emperor Xudu was stunned, his mind was confused, and he didn't know whether the content was true or false. He clearly remembered that he would send grain to Liutianzhou once every five days, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army did not say that the grain and grass were more than enough, at least they could eat enough, but why did they still say that the grain and grass were scarce on cloudy days and needed to be mobilized urgently?
