There was a hot-tempered military general who was about to roll up his sleeves, but Han Zhao stopped his move as soon as he raised his hand, and muttered, "Is this going to attack? The Overseer has a good suggestion. ”

All the generals looked at each other, only Tai Gonggong was proud: "Hou Ye is still an understanding person." Very good, then hurry up, and the king has been waiting for your good news. ”

When he got up to leave and his back disappeared into the night, the armed man glared at Han Zhao: "Master Hou, do you really listen to him?"

Shi Congyi shouted with a calm face: "Nonsense, Hou Ye has his own opinions." ”

Han Zhao waved his hand: "What Father-in-law Tai said actually has some truth, the army has finished resting and can go to war." Tomorrow night at the latest, you all go and prepare. ”

The generals took the orders and left.

Shi Congyi stayed in the tent and held back for a long time before asking Han Zhao: "Master Hou, is this too rushed?" He has followed Han Zhao for many years, and the Marquis of Zhenbei has always been old and serious, and he is very calm, and he has not finished a lot of work this time, so why is he going to start fighting?

"It has been a few months since General Qian's death, and the army has been beaten back dozens of miles, and the royal court is anxious, so he sent Gonggong Tai to order me. You also know that today's kings attach great importance to their exploits in battle and victory. Father-in-law Tai is right about one thing, every extra day that the 40,000 army stays here, the food eaten by the soldiers alone will cost an additional 800 stones, not to mention other consumption. ”

Han Zhao took a deep breath, "In the past eight years, the defense of the country has been endless, and there are many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The domestic situation is so grim that we ...... If you can save some, save some. ”

In the army, young and strong men had to eat two liters of rice a day, so a team of 40,000 people consumed 800 stone a day. Each stone is 100 catties, that is, even if the army is stationed on the front line and does nothing, it will eat 80,000 catties of grain every day!

Military spending is the heaviest burden on any country. If you want to attack Youguo, Wei Wangting also has to tighten his belt.

Shi Congyi snorted: "I've been fighting for so many years, and the first king collapsed, I thought I could stop for a while." Who knows...... Alas, why do you say that!"

How do you know that the new king has just been crowned, and he ordered to attack the country before the seat was hot, and he couldn't wait!

Even a military general like Shi Congyi, who has lived in the north for a long time and does not ask about the people's feelings, knows that the Kingdom of David has been reckless for many years, and the people are almost exhausted. How can the new king be ignorant and unaware of the country's finances? Why is it still necessary to fight?

"You don't understand. Han Zhao shook his head, "The king wants to prove to the people of the world that he can also expand his territory and be invincible, so as to uphold the bloodline and legacy of the previous king." ”

He is still a courtier, and unlike a military general like Shi Congyi, he knows the will of the monarch better. Combined with the situation of King Wei's ascension, the new monarch needs an outright victory to consolidate his position, and defeating his father's side is the best way.

Shi Congyi muttered in a low voice: "I thought you didn't want to come to the southwest to fight. ”

"I don't want to, this is an unjust war, and the division is nameless. Otherwise, he would not have pushed and blocked Wang Ling, and he would not have been willing to go to the southwest front. Han Zhao couldn't help but sigh and said to this loyal subordinate, "However, in his position, he must fulfill his responsibilities, since this battle cannot be fought, then defeat the country and end the war as soon as possible, so that the people can wait for the opportunity to recuperate as soon as possible." ”

In his position, Han Zhao did not have the right to choose whether to fight or not to fight, but he could choose to finish the war faster and end the war. Perhaps, this is good for the country and the country. ”

Better a finger off than always aching. The sooner this war is ended, the sooner the peoples of both countries will have a respite.

What the people want most is peace, stability, as long as the war can be ended as soon as possible and production can be resumed, maybe they don't care who the person sitting at the top of the temple is?

Han Zhao could only think of this, and he suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart: "Go and rest, you haven't closed your eyes all night." There will be another tough battle to fight tomorrow. ”

When he walked out of the big tent, he remembered He Xiaokite for no reason.

Why does this stupid girl have to go to war? If he were her, she would have gone away and fled to the rivers and lakes, never again at the mercy of others.

However, the eighteenth female college changed, and he almost didn't recognize He Xiaokite when he saw him for the first time. The young little girl back then has become a big beauty now.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that the temper is still tricky and spicy, regardless of it.

On the battlefield where life and death are unpredictable, it is good to meet former acquaintances. The corners of Han Zhao's mouth hooked up a little, but in the blink of an eye, it was flat.

Tomorrow, the big war will begin. I hope He Xiaoyuan can really follow his advice and stay away from the war.

He faced the east, exhaled deeply, and was about to go back to change his clothes, when his soldiers suddenly came over: "Report, there is movement in Xie Jiatun." ”

"What?" Xie Jiatun had frequent incidents last night, and the guards also strengthened their vigilance. If nothing else, the tree was surrounded by a cluster, and now everyone knows that a bird flies in.

The look of the pro-soldier was a little strange: "The village is mobilizing the villagers to go to the surrounding trees to catch birds, and even the bird's nest has been brought. And then—"

This thing is indeed strange, Han Zhao frowned: "Then?"

Then they sewed the tarpaulin into bags, put all the birds in them, and carried the people on their backs to the trees. The soldier scratched his head, "These people will come out empty-handed again, and the birds are gone." ”

That's the little world sent into the trees. Han Zhao was slightly stunned: "What did Muramasa say?" There was an abnormality in the middle of the night, and he always had to give an explanation.

He said that Shenmu gave him a dream, and he was full of insects and ants, and he was very sad to be gnawed, and asked him to send some birds and finches in. ”

Han Zhao laughed: "That's it, if there is nothing else weird, you don't need to report me again." ”

How can it be so coincidental, Shenmu doesn't dream early or late, but after these big events happen, he gave Muramasa a dream, what did he do in the past few decades? He pondered that this matter was still related to the little junior sister, but putting some birds in Shenmu's small world would not sound very harmful, so let her go.

Thirty miles further north, it was dawn, and Yan Saburo and his party entered an unnamed village.

This kind of small village, located in a poor countryside with a population of less than 100, is scattered in the deep mountains, and some of them may not even be known to the government offices.

He Xiaoyuan walked in but was familiar with the way, and there were adults and children in the village who greeted her, and she actually had a good relationship with her.

As you can imagine, this is also one of the strongholds of the enemy.

There was an iron-striking shop at the east end of the village, He Xiaoyuan led Yan Saburo and others in, lit a fire in the furnace, and took out the tools from the treasure bag and put them on the table: "The concession will be made tomorrow, you can walk around." ”
