After the completion of the earthwork outside the city, the city gradually became calm, and the state army did not all gather under the city.

Ma Yuansi led the soldiers and horses of the Fourth Division to gallop westward, galloping along the way, and rushed to Longxian in only five days, occupying the passage from Liangzhou to Yongzhou, and blocking Qin Yao, who fled back to Liangzhou and planned to make a comeback, to the west of Longshan.

Tanghou Mansion of Zhangcheng City

At this time, Wang Rong no longer paid attention to the situation in Xucheng City, there would be no waves for a while, as long as the logistics of the state army could be unblocked, those people in the city would be trapped and killed.

At this time, the sand table in the main hall has become Yongzhou and Jizhou. In the coastal counties, a small black flag was densely entrenched on it, representing the Japanese slave army.

In the four counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping and Yuyang, it is a small blue flag, densely blocked on the west side of the small black flag.

In Hejian County, the small red flags are densely tied on it, blocking the small black flags that have occupied most of Bohai County.

At this time, in the main hall, Li Sujie, Zhang Gengxiao, Zhang Yunshu, Meng Song, Wu Luo, Yuan Tiangang, Chu Luxu, Yin He, Song Wenbai, and the fifth candidate gathered here.

Wang Rong held the wooden pole in his hand, his face was solemn, he looked at the generals in the hall, and his voice was cold: "All the generals, they are all the backbone generals of my and state army, so I won't play with you anymore, come and see!"

The generals gathered around the sand table and looked at Wang Rong with blazing eyes, and the wooden pole in Wang Rong's hand lit the small black flag planted on Bohai County and said, "The Japanese slaves are thousands of miles away, and they cross the sea to be a coward. You have also seen the information of the fifth candidate, they are burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil. However, bad conduct does not negate their combat effectiveness, and the individual martial arts and tactical level of the Japanese slaves are obviously much stronger than those of the Yongji and Hebei countries.

Moreover, the Japanese slaves risked falling into the sea to feed the fish, and ran thousands of miles to our Central Plains to loot, just like the battle of Julu in that year, King Xiang broke the cauldron and sank the boat, which fully illustrates their determination and perseverance.

In the face of such an enemy, we must show greater determination and perseverance than them.

Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is not for promotion, nor for getting rich, let alone for military merits, but for the people of the Central Plains.

Think about it, if the two countries of Yongji collapse and can't stop it, they will invade Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Yuzhou, and then the Central Plains will be full of beacons and wolves everywhere, and the people of our Central Plains will become lambs to be slaughtered.

Imagine such a tragic scene, and your heart does not hurt?"

Li Sujie took the lead and said, "Marshal, you just give the order, how will we fight this battle?"

"Yes! Marshal! Give the order."

"How? Do you drive these dwarfs out into the sea to feed the fish, or cut off their heads to build a Kyoto temple? Command, commander."

Wang Rong looked at the generals and said, "Bingzhou has conquered a lot in this year, and both financial and material resources are on the verge of exhaustion. In this battle, you must be mentally prepared.

I have already discussed with Mr. Huangfu, who gritted his teeth and squeezed out some supplies to supply us for the extraction.

But the situation we are facing now is very bad, and this material is only enough for us to pull out, only enough for us to march to Lunu.

What to do with the next supplies? Where do we get supplies? Where can I get enough supplies for my army?"

As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first. The rations of the soldiers were very rich: meat supplemented with protein, vegetables supplemented with vitamins, and corn, rice, and wheat flour.

If he was fighting in Bingzhou, Wang Rong would not worry about these things. But after entering the two states of Youji, the source of these things has become a big problem.

The two prefectures do not produce rice, and the main grain is corn. In terms of Youzhou, in addition to the Daijun County, which has been occupied by the Bingzhou army, the animal husbandry is developed, and it can provide edible mutton. Only the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong remained, with developed animal husbandry.

But the reality is that after the two counties fell into the war, the livestock industry was greatly damaged, and it was the destruction of the Youguo people themselves. Caught in the quagmire of war, they can't care about the future, because they don't know if they have a future.

The damage inflicted on them by the Japanese army was so great that the soldiers broke the jars and stole everything they could take for themselves in the two counties.

Among them, livestock occupy a very important position, and the horse gardens built by Youguo in the two counties have been completely destroyed, and the livestock inside have also been plundered by the Youjun army or the Japanese slave army.

Seeing that the others didn't speak, Zhang Yunshu took the lead in standing up and said, "Marshal, what's so worrying about this, just rush to the two countries or get it."

Zhang Gengxiao looked at his younger brother with hatred on his face, and reprimanded, "If you can't come up with an idea, you can shut up for me."

Zhang Yunshu said sneeringly: "We and the state army helped them fight the Japanese slaves, what happened to the grain and grass? It's not about their lives!"

Li Sujie looked at Zhang Yunshu, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile, and sneered: "Yunshu thinks so simply, when the first emperor was here, we didn't fight with the Ji country. Not to mention, after I merged with the state to stand on my own, I pressed and beat the Ji country. The enmity between the two sides is as deep as the vicissitudes of life, and if you want to resolve it, it is only possible if one party is destroyed. You actually want Ji Guo to provide grain and grass, Ji Guo dares to provide it, do you dare to eat it?"

Zhang Yunshu still said stiffly: "If you can't ask for Ji Kingdom, what about Youguo? We don't have any hatred with Youguo, right? If you ask for food and grass from Youguo, he can't help but give it."

Zhang Gengxiao slapped Zhang Yunshu on the back of the head, and angrily reprimanded: "You are such a big person, how can you still be so naïve, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Once the ghost country harms my heart and moves on the grain and grass, it will be dangerous at that time. I will go out with the state army, and the grain and grass must be solved by ourselves."

Wang Rong watched them arguing and didn't mean to join in, Zhang Yunshu's performance today surprised the others. Because although Zhang Yunshu said that his military experience is not as rich as that of others, he has learned from his family, and it is impossible not to know the importance of grain and grass.

Song Wenbai said: "Military marshal, we have all figured out the situation here in Jizhou, the Jizhou Plain is vast, and it is a good place to grow and produce food. Nowadays, the grain and grass in Jizhou are concentrated in Hejian and Anping counties, and the only place where we can get grain and grass is Julu County."

Julu County is named after the mainland (Juluze). The water system here is developed, and the river water, the water of the pond, the water of Zhangshui, the water of the water, the water of Jishui, the water of Fushui, the water of the water, the water of Hengshui, the water of Zhushui, the water of the mainland, the mainland of the river are developed in the territory, so that the agriculture of Julu County is very developed.

Wang Rong looked at Julu County on the sand table, his eyes were deep, and he said the worry in his heart: "If we take Julu County down, what do you think will be the reaction of the Ji Congress?"

Song Wenbai said categorically: "The Ji State will definitely transfer the soldiers and horses of Xindu to defend Julu County."

Wu Luo asked with a puzzled expression, "Since we know that the Ji Kingdom protects Julu County, how can we take Julu County down?"

Wang Rong looked at the generals and said, "We won't take Julu County down, and the state army only needs to make a posture of threatening Julu County. We are not trying to become mortal enemies with the Ji country, but to form a temporary alliance."

In this way, the decision in the Tanghou Mansion of Zhangqi City was effectively implemented.

When the Emperor of Ji in the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Ji in the Xindu City received the news that the Bingzhou army was attacking Julu County, the Emperor of the Ji State, who was not confused, threw his favorite wine lord to the ground in front of the civil and military officials.

In the past few years, he has been extremely unhappy as the emperor, first repeatedly defeated in the war with Yongguo, and after the independence of the state, he wanted to steal a wave and take advantage, but he was blocked by the state army outside Taihang.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese slaves who came from nowhere burned and looted on his territory, although the people of Ji were ATMs in his eyes, providing him with the existence of pleasure. But those who stand in the way of people's wealth are like murdering parents. Zhao Huan immediately sent his own army, a group of Japanese slaves, and he felt that his army should be able to wipe out the enemy quickly.

But the reality gave him a resounding slap in the face, the Ji army failed to eliminate the Japanese slaves, but was defeated and retreated by the Japanese slaves, and the entire Bohai County, the essence of Jizhou, was completely turned into powder.

Zhao Huan vented in the main hall, and then sat back on the dragon chair panting, his chest rising and falling: "Look at it

, what has become of my country now? The country of Ji, which once occupied the four states of Hebei, Hebei, Henan, and Youzhou, has now become like this! I'm ashamed of my ancestors!"

The officials in the palace knelt on the ground and shouted, "The ministers are guilty! Please calm your anger!"

Zhao Huan smiled nervously, "Anger? Why are you embarrassed to say what makes me angry? I am ashamed of the ancestors, and you! Shame on me!"

The great general Zhao Yu came out of the ranks and suggested: "Holy Lord, the situation in the country is critical now, and the top priority is to stabilize the state army, and then use the military force for the Japanese slaves."

"The general's words are wrong, the Japanese slaves are just a disease of scabies, and the state army is the henchman of my country. Shengshang, Wei Chen thinks that we should gather our existing forces and drive the Bingzhou army out of Jizhou first."

In his eyes, the Japanese slaves were just a small disaster, and the annexation of the state was the big disaster that threatened the fortunes of the country.

Zhao Huan's face was as cold as ice, and he asked coldly, "What is the plan of the Prime Minister?"

Lian Yu immediately suggested: "Holy Lord, the minister's suggestion is that we can send someone to contact the Japanese slaves, as long as the sincerity we give is enough to let them withdraw their troops, we can concentrate all our efforts to wipe out the state army."

The general Zhao Yu sneered and retorted: "The Prime Minister's idea is really good, so if the Japanese slaves want too much, I hope that the country can't afford to pay, what does the Minister of State plan?"
