Chen Ge walked into Tonghua City surrounded by a group of guards, the blood in the city had not yet been washed away, and some of the remaining people were carrying corpses under the sword of the Liao army.

It's not that the Liao army is kind-hearted, but they also know that if the corpse is not disposed of, it will cause an epidemic, so they sent people to collect it.

"Before we broke Tonghua City, there were 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and now I don't know if there are 5,000, and even more young people died."

One of Chen Ge's guards whispered, the Liao army is too ruthless, tens of thousands of people, almost killed in two days, and most of the people left are women, and they are also ruined.

"Don't talk about it again"

Chen Ge said silently, he doesn't like Da Liao, Da Liao is vulgar, rude, and pursues the way of the jungle, they are not only ruthless to the people of Wei, but also to the people of Liao, those herdsmen in Liao, every year they are tired of grazing and farming, but most of the harvest has to be handed over to the nobles.

The landlords of the Great Wei also knew how to engage in usury, let the servants live first, and slowly exploit them, but the Liao State was not, their nobles no matter what difficulties you had this year, if the tribute was not paid, the soldiers and horses were killed, and the leaders were killed, and the cattle, sheep and women were snatched to settle the account, and it was so simple.

The crowd continued to walk, the air was filled with a foul smell, it was already summer, and the corpses were decomposing very quickly.

Not long after, everyone came to a big mansion in the city, Tonghua City is the seat of government in Tongzhou, there are also some rich people, the house is doing well, and now it is occupied by Yeluqi, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

"General Chen"

"The King"

"General Chen, please take a seat, here is some news for you to see"

"Good"

Chen Ge sat down, and then Yeluqi came over with a stack of news, some of which were news from within the Liao State, some were news from Great Wei, and some were news from the secret agents of King Pingnan.

"The Great Wei raised 300,000 troops, and Yang Heting was only 70,000 of them? Great Wei's strong national strength"

"Yes, and they have a lot of grain and grass, the land south of Daweijiang Prefecture can harvest grain twice a year, it has been harvested once in summer, and it can be harvested again in a few months, which is really enviable."

The king of the Southern Courtyard replied that the territory of the Great Liao was extremely vast, almost twice that of the Great Wei, but there was no place where he could grow two seasons of grain a year.

And grain represents the population, and the population represents the soldiers, and it is not surprising that the Great Wei was able to raise 300,000 troops.

"King, our soldiers and horses of Daliao must arrive as soon as possible"

"It's been urged again, but I'm more concerned about this news, King Pingnan's secret agent said that the dean of the Great Wei Wen Immortal Pavilion has rarely appeared since he returned from Nanzhou last year, and has been in retreat, maybe he was seriously injured, or there was a problem with his cultivation, if this news is true, then we can ask the dean of Tongtian Academy to come out and kill all Li Hongsleeve and others, so that no one in Great Wei can resist us"

The king of the southern courtyard replied that the Liao army was defeated in Tongzhou City, and it woke up Yeluqi at once, letting him know that Great Wei was not so easy to swallow, even if the two families joined forces, so he wanted to think of other ways, this was the opportunity.

"Great King, if the dean of the Immortal Pavilion is indeed seriously injured or has an accident in cultivation and cannot participate in the war, it is certainly an opportunity, but if the news is wrong, in addition, you should also consider whether the dean of the Tongtian Academy will be asked about the fate of the Xianmen behind the Immortal Pavilion."

"What General Chen said is also reasonable, but General Chen also knows that if according to the current situation, it will be too difficult for us to swallow the Great Wei, and if Tongzhou City is defeated, how difficult will it be for us to fight under Yongdu City?"

"This..."

"I have written back to Shengjing, presumably the Holy Lord will make a decision, General Chen, how long can we support our grain and grass now?"

"King, I was just trying to tell you about this, the seizure of Tonghua City is not much, Tonghua City has been besieged for nearly three months, and most of the grain and grass have been consumed, according to the current point of view, we only have enough grain and grass for three and a half days, and we have to find a way to worry about the grain and grass."

Chen Ge replied that the grain and grass in the city was enough for the Wei army for two or three months, but when the city was attacked, a lot of it was burned, and the Liao army was several times more than the Wei army, the key was that they had a lot of horses, and one horse had to eat more food than three people, so they didn't have much food after they captured the city.

"Can Tongzhou still loot grain and grass?"

"The looting is gone, the people of Tongzhou have no one in ten, and the rest of the people have long been hiding in the mountains, and there is almost no food left."

Chen Ge said that except for some areas east of Tongzhou City, Tongzhou has been uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the destruction of the war is too great, either they are used as cannon fodder or captured back to Liao, and the rest have run into the mountains.

"Tianxia Pass was recaptured by the Wei army, the grain and grass in Beizhou have to bypass Tianxia Mountain, and it is nearly five hundred miles away, and it is difficult to send it, and the Liao State has to transport grain for thousands of miles, and the consumption is also very large, if you can't eat the enemy, our Liao State will not be able to fight the Great Wei"

"The Wise King"

"General Chen, I will write another letter and send it back to Shengjing urgently, asking Your Majesty to make a decision within two days, and the dean will come from Shengjing for a maximum of three days, and the extra day and a half, please leave it to you."

"King, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice"

"Kill horses, kill people"

The king of the Southern Courtyard said a sentence coldly, and Chen Ge's face changed, but the king of the Southern Courtyard had a serious face, which made Chen Ge feel that he was not joking, which made Chen Ge's heart sink.

·······

The Wei army's camp, the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Wei army have not yet arrived, and Li Yuanxiang is not in a hurry to attack the Liao army, and even in the process of confrontation, the Wei army is advantageous, after all, it is fighting in the territory, except for the section of the road to Tongzhou City, the rest of the places even the post station is complete.

Li Yuanxiang began to train troops before the war, a few months of the war, the original elite of the Wei army was reimbursed too much, the battle of Tongzhou City, the 40,000 people commanded by Li Yuanxiang were wiped out more than 10,000, and now there are too many recruits, one more day of training, their strength will be stronger.

With nothing to do, Jiang Cheng began to practice the orb that he had taken from the enemy, and after not knowing how much true qi he had transported, this orb finally couldn't convey his true qi, and Jiang Cheng began to practice.

"Good stuff"

After two days of practice, Jiang Cheng succeeded, he could feel the power of this orb, and it seemed that he had beaten the orb out with the power of his divine soul, and the power was even more fierce than his full blow.

"This bead may be more expensive than expected, and there are new features that haven't been released, and I don't know if there will be space, the kind in the novel."

Jiang Cheng pinched the orb, and thought in his heart, it would be nice if he could give him the whole space, he didn't want any time to speed up, the space has immortal springs and the like, and it would be awesome to have a storage space.

"Master Jiang"

"What's the matter?"

"Eldest Princess, please go over and discuss it"

"Good"

Jiang Cheng put away the beads, got dressed, walked out of the tent, and then went to Li Hongsleeve's tent.

"Eldest princess, you call me"

"It's not a big deal, I received some letters from the rear, and when I saw your letter, I got it back for you by the way"

"Thank you, Princess"

Jiang Cheng received a stack of letters, most of which were written by his father, as well as Chen Datong and Yun'er, and two more were written by Xue Qingqing.

Jiang Cheng secretly checked it, the envelope was still intact, it should be that no one had peeked at it, and now Jiang Cheng's status is not low, and few people will offend him like this.

"Mr. Jiang, you say, is it possible for me to get involved in military power now?"

Seeing that Jiang Cheng hadn't opened the letter, Li Hongsleeve said that she was very eager for military power now, and her prestige was enough.

"I don't recommend"

"Why"

"Because soldiers are very pure people, although the eldest princess has gained prestige with various actions, but this has little to do with military power, soldiers will follow people who can bring them victory, Li Shuai gained unprecedented prestige in the battle of Tongzhou City, and it is not something that can be replaced now"

"When will it be?"

"Don't be in a hurry, see how the battlefield changes"

"But I'm anxious"

"It's useless to be anxious, and the eldest princess doesn't have to worry, before the war, you will definitely be able to obtain a certain amount of military power"

"Oh, how to say"

"Although the Liao army is defeated, but the strength still exists, they must have a new army on the way, even if this group of troops is still defeated, but what about the other way, if I am not mistaken, the master of Great Wei, we have more on our side"

"Indeed, the master of Yongdu City, I took away two-thirds, only one-third of Yongzhou, not even one-third, Yongdu City sent a message from there, the emperor oppressed Yao Ce, has forced Xungui to participate in the war, and hit the civil officials, presumably the results are not very good"

"That's right, even if you win here, you will definitely have to fight with Great Xia, Li Yuanxiang must be in charge of Tongzhou, and when the eldest princess can lead a group of people to block Great Xia, presumably the imperial court will not refuse"

"I hope so, there are a lot of generals in Great Wei."

Li Hongsleeve shook his head, this probability is not too high, such as a veteran like Yang Heting, there are still a lot of them in the hands of the imperial court, and they are all great generals.

"The eldest prince is mainly anxious, in fact, there is another way, that is, absolute strength, if the eldest princess can kill most of the immortals in Tongtian Academy, presumably no one dares to underestimate the eldest princess anymore"

"Jiang Cheng, this is more difficult than me rebelling directly, the strength of the immortals of Tongtian Academy is not weak"

"It's not so strong, it's a mysterious realm after all, if the eldest princess can break through this realm, it's not difficult to sweep them"

Jiang Cheng said that he had studied with Xiao Tianxing, even if his strength had grown to the present, he didn't think he could beat Xiao Tianxing, Jiang Cheng felt that Xiao Tianxing could sweep the immortals of the Three Kingdoms.

"It's too difficult to break through the realm, but recently I've been studying Xianmen martial arts, and I've gained a lot, and when I sort out some of these things, my strength will increase a lot, and maybe I can compete with the dean."

Li Hongsleeve's heart moved, since Jiang Cheng cut the immortals, she has a strong interest in martial arts, and she no longer looks down on martial arts so much as before, after studying for a while, Li Hongsleeve has also gained something, but it is still a little bit close, if she can understand and pierce this window paper, her strength may skyrocket, and it is difficult to find opponents within the scope of the Xuan Miao Realm.
