Chapter 145: Internal Worries
Wang saw that the dragon had run away, but he still ran away with a swagger. Although Jin Crow was angry, he didn't care about the trouble of going to Wang Jianlong at the moment. What he had to worry about now was his brute army, which only had more than 30,000 left. There are still many wounded people, although they are all minor injuries, but in this cold winter, even minor injuries may be fatal.
"Teacher, what should we do now? Maybe we shouldn't have abandoned the city of Sichuan Mansion in the first place. With our troops, we can completely wave our army straight to Dragon City. At this time, this great Qi country may already be in hand. Jin Wu said with annoyance.
"Your Majesty, although the area of my Jinwu is large, the population cannot be compared with that of Daqi. We can fight a local war with Daqi, but once the situation is stalemate. It is necessary for us to constantly push the Jinwu people into this vortex of war. Although the Great Qi army is weak, they have consumed a million troops, and they can still recruit another million troops. Daqi people are good at growing crops, and food is inexhaustible. Our front is too long for supplies to replenish. Take the risk of attacking the capital of Great Qi, once the army is defeated, the extinction of our Jinwu clan is just around the corner. "This is the reason why PATEO has always been against it.
Jin Wu nodded, but soon frowned again: "However, now we have completely fallen into the schemes of this kid Du Xuan. And how to get out of trouble. We will now take a detour to kill the barbarian guards, not to mention, will Du Xuan take down the barbarian guards first, and once again cut off the back road of our barbarian army. Even if Du Xuan doesn't block it on the road, our army will now lose all its supplies. It takes several days to get from here to the barbarian guard. Without food and grass, how can we resist this bitter cold?"
"The emperor is not in a hurry. Before entering the Broken Soul Cliff, Wei Chen had a sense of foreboding, and left a batch of grain and grass in front of the Broken Soul Cliff in case of future troubles. At this time, we rushed to the Broken Soul Cliff to obtain this batch of grain and grass, which was enough for us to rush to the barbarian guard. Once you've reached the Barbarian Guard, you can ask Mauihan for help. Botai said.
Jin Wu Daxi: "Thanks to the teacher for taking precautions in advance. Otherwise, this time...... Alas!"
Seeing that Jin Crow was extremely decadent, Botai hurriedly comforted: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the emperor must not completely lose his ambition to compete in the world because of this defeat." ”
Jin Wu shook his head: "Let's discuss this matter after returning to Tuotian City." ”
Botai was disappointed when he saw Jin Wu's appearance, shook his head, and didn't speak again. It was only at this time that he saw the true face of the Golden Crow. When the wind is smooth, he is also considered a hero. But it was only a little setback that it became like this. How can he go to compete for the crown of Jiuzhou? Botai suddenly remembered that Wang Jianlong had left resolutely, and why didn't he see that the golden crow had lost the possibility of competing for the crown?
Thinking of this, PATEO did not have any worries about the difficulty of the return journey. After returning to Tuotian City, the Golden Crow will not only no longer be the promoter of the expansion of the Barbarian Domain, but will become an obstacle to the expansion of the Barbarian Domain. PATEO didn't even want the Golden Crow to return to Tuotian City smoothly.
To the surprise of Botai and Jin Wu, in the few days that he went to slash the barbarian guard, Du Xuan did not attack again.
In fact, it's not that Du Xuan doesn't want to, but he can't do it, it will bring some losses to the barbarian army, and it won't bring any changes to the battle situation. On the contrary, as long as there is a little mess in Black Bear Castle, all of Du Xuan's plans will come to naught. Du Xuan felt that the current Black Bear Fort was like dancing on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, you may fall into a point of no return.
"How are those soldiers screened?" Du Xuan asked Hu Benrui.
Hu Benrui immediately stood up from his seat: "Report to the third son, the screening is underway." However, due to the large number of troops surrendered and the very strong vigilance of the troops, the screening matters did not go very smoothly. ”
Du Xuan had already thought of this question, and now he was worried that the Black Bear Fort would deal with them for treason, and he would definitely join forces. Fort Black Bear is also a rat trap now, and it does not dare to take drastic action against these troops. After all, Fort Black Bear's current troops are too expensive to afford to lose. And Du Xuan was reluctant to surrender these forty or fifty thousand young soldiers. Although the combat effectiveness of the troops is not high, they are all young and strong, and if they can be trained, it will definitely be of great help to Black Bear Fort. And among them, there are also warriors who dare to fight against the barbarians, if they are really destroyed, Du Xuan is really reluctant.
"Third son, these surrenders must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will become a huge hidden danger to the Black Bear Castle. The atmosphere in the barracks was not very good, and under the instigation of some people, it was easy for some unexpected problems to arise. Yang Wancai said worriedly.
Du Xuan nodded: "The issue of surrendering troops must be completely solved in the near future. However, the surrendered troops should still be treated separately. Those lackeys whose hands are stained with the blood of the people of Sichuan must be eradicated. We can ignore the previous acts of surrendering to the enemy after the commander surrendered, but we must not let go of those who acted as lackeys of the barbarians and oppressed and brutalized the people of our Sichuan Prefecture! This is our bottom line! In view of this, all the troops of the Black Bear Fort must maintain a high degree of vigilance against the surrender of the barracks and guard against some people taking risks!"
"Yes!" the commanders of Fort Black Bear stood up in unison.
After the discussion was over, Du Feng walked into Du Xuan's mansion with the list of materials seized from the barbarian army this time.
"Young master, all the materials seized this time have been counted. Du Feng had excitement on his face.
"How much grain and grass is enough to eat in Black Bear Fort now?" Du Xuan asked.
"Young Master, don't worry. At present, the grain and grass in Black Bear Fort are relatively abundant, and with this seizure, it should be able to maintain until the first harvest next year. Before the snow fell, we had a lot of wasteland in Fort Black Bear, and after the beginning of spring, we could start farming. At that time, the food problem of Fort Black Bear will be solved. Du Feng knew what Du Xuan was worried about, and hurriedly told him about the situation.
Du Xuan nodded with relief, with food in his hand, and he didn't panic in his heart.
"Young master, there are some things in this batch of supplies, you should be very interested. Du Feng smiled.
"What is it?" Du Xuan thought that Du Feng was talking about gold and silver and other goods, and Du Xuan was not very interested in these things. This is already a troubled time, and there are many things that you can't buy even if you have money, such as food. At this time, no amount of money is useless. As long as there is plenty of food, Black Bear doesn't need to worry about anything else at all.
"This time, the barbarian army transported all the books in the collection of the Sichuan Academy, except for a batch of important books that were transported to the barbarian region by Xu Yongwen with the previous batch of troops, most of the books were all in the materials this time. There are thousands of copies. The specific bibliography has not yet been counted. Du Feng had a happy look on his face, he knew that his young master liked this.
