Time passed day by day, the commander of Song State, the commander of the crown prince Zheng Wu and the commander of Cai State, and the brows of the crown prince Ji Hua became tighter and tighter. It was two more days, and the march was a hundred miles away, but it was still deserted. To be precise, it was not deserted, but the building was empty!

The burned house, the wells filled in, the barren fields... Everything shows the enemy's attitude, the strong walls and clear the fields! Nothing is left behind, and even the trees on the mountain, the more convenient places have been cut down.

Nothing left behind is too cruel!

Although everyone brings enough food and grass now, although there are a few experts around you who have purple Qi Dongsheng, digging wells and getting water is not a problem; but in the long run, it will inevitably have serious impacts. Even if there are soldiers now, they are unstable! Although the general of Cai State said that he had scared the enemy away in order to encourage the morale of the soldiers; at this time, even a fool can understand where he scared the others away. They are strengthening the walls and clearing the fields!

The morale of the army, which was not very stable, began to shake at this time.

But at this moment, the logistics troops, that is, as many as one million auxiliary soldiers, received bad information and food and grass again, which could last for up to ten days! And somehow, this information spread in a very short time, so that almost all soldiers knew it!

"Aren't the food and grass we collected enough for a month?" Zheng Wu was furious. This was simply a disastrous.

"Yes, we collected two months of food and grass, but now we have one month of food and grass! Don't say that the food has wings and flew away! Even if you want to embezzle, you can't take it away under such circumstances!" Ji Hua also glared at the military commander Sima in front of him.

"Two Your Highnesses...this...this..." The military commander Sima was anxiously wandering around, wanting to say something but dared not say it.

"Is there any difficulty? Do you know the reason?" Zheng Wu's eyes also sparked.

"this……"

"Say!" The two crown princes were furious.

"Your Highness, please spare your life. It's not what I did. I even took out the whole family's food to supplement military supplies. But... I'm really a little bit." Military supplies Sima lay on the ground and cried.

"Huh?" Zheng Wu narrowed his eyes at this time, obviously digesting the words of Sima, the military commander just now; this seemingly simple sentence actually hides too many things. The sentence "I even took out the whole family's food to supplement military commander" means too much. First of all, it is certain that this military commander is definitely not a problem now. It is a problem before departure! If there is a problem before departure, then... this problem is really too big, which is directly related to the victory of this war.

"Tell me, what is the situation!" Zheng Wu did not end there. "If you don't say it, I will definitely confiscate your home when I go back! Even if I am defeated this time, I will definitely be able to confiscate your entire family after I go back, and even kill the nine clans!"

"Your Highness... Your Highness... It's not my business! When collecting grain, many noble officials made a move. They took out the deteriorated grain and grass in the grain warehouse and resold the good grain and grass."

"You are lying! Even old food and grass will not completely deteriorate. It is still OK to use it at critical moments!" Although Zheng Wu is the crown prince, he has a lot of knowledge, but he is not the kind of rice insect.

"Your Highness, these old grains are...5 years ago, or even 10 years ago..." The military commander Sima also gave up at this time.

"What!" Both crown princes were stunned, "Food from ten years ago! Can there be left? What else can be left?"

"There are still... green sacks left..." Sima, the military commander, was sweating coldly now.

"Bang! Take me to see!" Zheng Wu stood up, walked out and walked out.

Ji Hua next to him looked at his military commander Sima, "Where is ours?"

“Same…”

"Okay! OK! If we fail, then after we go back, I will definitely search the nobles one by one! I suddenly understood the policies of Xu Country! Nobles really cannot be asked for!" Ji Hua seemed to be talking to himself.

When Zheng Wu and Ji Hua led the General Gate to the logistics camp, they saw green "grain and grass" all over the ground. These grains and grasses can pollute the earth and water sources when buried in the ground.

Almost all the generals were angry. A general grabbed the military commander Sima and raised it into the air, "Say, let me know clearly! We are hanging our heads in front to fight, and you borers are trying hard to lose money behind you, okay! Don't say you are innocent, I don't believe you didn't get any benefits. Look. The jade pendant on your waist... Oh, it turned out to be a health jade talisman that has only appeared recently. This thing is said to be worth 10 lucky coins. Say, where did this thing come from? Don't say that this thing was picked up!"

The military commander Sima had long been desolate. Unexpectedly, he would reveal the healthy jade talisman hanging around his waist, and the general knew this thing.

Zheng Wu, the crown prince of Song State, looked over and said to the general: "You go and interrogate. This health talisman can save his life and can make a lot of effort."

"Hehe... Of course, Your Highness. This guy actually prepared a health talisman for himself in advance. It seems that he had already made this plan. Hehe..."

"No...no...I'll take it all." The military commander Sima had a big belly, small arms and calves, and had no ability to resist in front of a general.

"Don't, do you want to greet me?" The general sneered, "You are so brave. You can use all the food ten years ago. Your Highness, all the military officials around you should be arrested and let the soldiers come to protect the food."

"Yeah!" Zheng Wu nodded with a gloomy face. The situation on site was shocking. More than half of the food was from five years ago, and many of them were from more than ten years ago. There was not much good food, and the old grain from last year was already considered good.

But the situation here was completely spread for some reason, and the crowd suddenly became in an uproar, and the soldiers became even more unstable. Many soldiers began to disobey the command. The severe situation had already made it difficult for the coalition forces of Song and Cai to sustain. This really became a "vegetable" coalition!

But the march still needs to be carried out, with only ten days of food left, and sufficient results must be achieved in the shortest time, or even supplies must be achieved. Otherwise, the 500,000 troops of the two countries of Song and Cai would be starved to death.

But before that, in order to save food and to calm the anger of the soldiers, Zheng Wu and Ji Hua joined forces to kill more than 30,000 military personnel. From soldiers to the highest-level military personnel Sima did not escape and received a shocking confession. This killing was simply terrible.

But no matter how we rectify it, the disadvantages inevitably increased! I originally thought there would be one month of food and grass, so everyone was not in a hurry, even if the enemy adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, it was not in a hurry; a month was enough to slowly reach the current capital of Xuguo. But now? There were only ten days of food and grass left, which was a huge blow to the soldiers, a psychological blow.

And those nails that were inserted into the army by Xu Guoan continued to spread various remarks; the already somewhat unstable morale of the army was as "good" as fast as surfing!

Finally, when we marched for five days again and arrived at the border of the Xu Kingdom that originally belonged to Songzhou, we finally saw the people-filled army.

At this time, all the rumors had already left the coalition forces of the two countries almost lost their fighting spirit; all the soldiers were dejected.

Zheng Wu looked at the bust in front, and his eyes were flashing with a cold light. "Send a thousand people to attack!"

A thousand people attacked? Is this simply seeking death? The selected thousand people almost moved their steps, and they did not dare to take a quick step. Perhaps they were still hoping that the general or His Highness would take the order back.

"Let's go slowly, I'll see, can you not be able to walk in front of you in one day? Humph, there are ways to deal with you!" The two crown princes snorted coldly. All kinds of rumors have emerged these days, and the people walking on these rumors are actually very cautious and not caught. This makes Zheng Wu and Ji Hua a little helpless. But after all, they are crown princes. There are also some think tanks around them. After thinking for a long time, they still find some methods. Although they may not be useful, at least there are methods available!

The thousand people in front of them were slow and finally arrived at the bottom of the border; then they saw the people from Fang Xu Kingdom shouting a few words, and then the thousand people immediately dropped their weapons and were picked up by the rope hanging from the city wall.

"This..." Zheng Wu was stunned. He originally wanted to let a thousand people test it. By the way, after these people came back from defeat, they used the "ten draws" method to kill several soldiers to re-establish their majesty. However, he did not expect that things would happen... so interesting!

Rumble... The earth roared, and there were cavalry again in the distance. After the cavalry, the red luster above the cavalry rolled like the waves. In fact, it was very imposing.

"The surrendered ones do not kill! Put down your weapons immediately and retreat, otherwise you will be killed without mercy." A loud voice rushed out of the cavalry camp.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were so powerful that they could hardly forget the boundaries, at least they could not see the boundaries on the ground. These cavalry rushed forward, and nearly one million auxiliary soldiers guarding the food and grass in front suddenly opened the food and grass; while the cavalry took out all kinds of fire-induced items from their arms and threw them down. Suddenly, the few remaining food and grass burned buzzing, and the burning speed was beyond imagination.

How could this happen! How could this happen! Looking at the monstrous everyone, the senior executives of the State of Song and Cai were shocked.

"The soldiers had no stop at all!" Some generals understood! The soldiers who protected the food and grass actually retreated voluntarily, and none of them could resist at all.

"Are we... defeated..." Some generals couldn't believe that the food and grass were burned like this; it seemed that the most important function of these food and grass was to send the coalition forces of the two countries to the mouth of Xu and let Xu swallow it in one bite!

What's going on? At this time, maybe the impact was too great, which made the two crown princes of Song and Cai State a little unable to react, or they could not accept such facts.

Seeing nearly one million auxiliary soldiers starting to slowly retreat after the food and grass burned, the cavalry of Xu Kingdom was guarding these auxiliary soldiers.

"No!" Zheng Wu roared angrily and a mouthful of blood spurted out. At this time, Zheng Wu finally accepted the reality and was defeated, but he was confused.

Boom... Several gates to the border of Xu Kingdom opened, and countless soldiers rushed out like a tide; and after seeing the soldiers of Xu Kingdom, the soldiers of the two countries "sending vegetables" were as if they had seen their relatives. Most of the soldiers threw down their weapons and ran to the rear of Xu Kingdom, willing to accept jurisdiction, and then were taken to the city.

In just a blink of an eye, Zheng Wu and Ji Hua were left with less than 30,000 real elite soldiers, truly sincere soldiers. But what can 30,000 soldiers do!

There are more than 200,000 soldiers in Xu Kingdom, all of whom are awakened elites; and now Xu Kingdom has many masters of luck and magical powers, and it has completely suppressed the elites around Zheng Wu and Ji Hua.

"Why!" Zheng Wu looked at Zhang Yun in anger.

"It's very simple. We can give enough benefits and dignity to the civilians and the low-ranking gentry; but you don't have it, and it's impossible! This makes us different in essence.

You may not know that there are only three conditions for us to lure these soldiers:

First. Don’t investigate the past; second, enjoy the normal life and treatment of civilians in Xu Country; third, protect their safety on the battlefield.

There are no high-ranking officials and generous salaries, no hereditary nobles, and no gold, silver and treasures. What we give them is a very ordinary and ordinary life, a life that every citizen of Xu Kingdom now enjoys; that's all!"

"Impossible!" Zheng Wu, Ji Hua, and even many generals couldn't believe it. Among these promises, there was no silver reward? These soldiers were so stupid? They surrendered at a cheap price?

"There is nothing impossible! Because you noble nobles never look down on the lives of the civilians below, and never know what they really need. What they need is very simple, simple beyond imagination, just a peaceful life! Gold, silver and treasures are not as good as a simple and peaceful life; and Xu Kingdom can also give their descendants a place to learn and have the opportunity to rise to the east.

These are things you cannot give no matter what! Therefore, if you lose, you will be defeated for granted. And we only need a few simple words to make them devotedly to their loyalty.

Being loyal to you is equivalent to giving up your life.

But being loyal to Xuguo is equivalent to controlling one's own future.

What a simple account, what do you think!"

"Stop talking!" Zheng Wu roared angrily. He was really angry! Because just now, just as Zhang Yun said these words, the remaining 30,000 elite soldiers under Zheng Wu also began to shake.

"Why can't you say it? In Xu Kingdom, there is freedom of speech. You don't know. Just a few days ago, a person from the Ideological Enlightenment movement counted His Majesty's faults in front of our Majesty. Although our Majesty's face was gloomy, he still rewarded him according to the law.

This is our country of Xu. And what about you?

In the Kingdom of Xu, we are human beings; and in you, these soldiers are slaves and tools."

"Nonsense!" Zheng Wu became anxious, really anxious! As Zhang Yun continued these words, many of the remaining 30,000 elite soldiers quietly lowered their arms and fell to the ground.

"Are you talking nonsense? Is it true? Everyone knows it!

Your Highness, no matter what, you are also the crown prince. According to Your Majesty’s instructions, if you surrender, you will not make things difficult for you."

"Impossible! Even if I die, I will not surrender!" Zheng Wu was so tough at this time.

"Your Highness, are you doing your face? You didn't expect that you had nothing to die; but what about these soldiers who were loyal to you? They still have family, parents, wives and children are still looking forward to their return. Do you just bear it like this?"

"If you can't bear it, just let us go!" Zheng Wu was really pushed to his limit at this time, and even said such words.

"Haha, Your Highness is really joking. You have not surrendered yet, and we are still enemies. In this case, do you ask me to give up the attack? Let you leave? Don't Your Highness find it absurd!

Your Highness should actually understand that you have no way out. Surrender, at least our Congress of Xu will give you a good destination. And these soldiers will also have a successful result.

If you still have the ability to resist, I have nothing to say; but now you have no way out. Even if you can run away now, how long can you last without food and grass? Don't make indifferent sacrifices.

I admire the courage to be not afraid of death, but when there is no hope at all, why not let go of everything temporarily and look at another path?

Dear warriors, you have been fighting for Song and Cai for so long in the past. What have you gained? There is no dignity, and some are enslaved by generations. You have fulfilled your promises; but the kings and nobles of Song and Cai have not given you enough respect and rewards. Don’t worry, come to our Xu Kingdom to take a look, take a look at a brand new world, and see a sunny world."

Crazy... Swords fell to the ground; Zhang Yun was really powerful. He actually instigated the enemy on the spot.

"No, they are lying! Xu Country is a country of tigers and wolves. They even killed nobles, let alone civilians." Finally, at the critical moment, Zheng Wu found a reason.

"Even the nobles are killed? Shouldn't the nobles be killed?" Zhang Yun sneered. "The reason why we can win this time is the aristocrats you call them is the number you don't know, that is, 80% of the grain in your granary was resold, and our Xu Kingdom is the main buyer. We can exchange a few simple health talismans for tens of thousands of stones of grain, which is enough to meet the needs of the population of the three states of Xu Kingdom.

On behalf of the general public of Xu Kingdom, I would like to thank the two countries for their generosity. You two countries have used more than 20% of the country's total grain income to feed a large number of Xu Kingdom's population. In order to thank you, we will now pick you up and enjoy a life like a rice insect.

Two of your highnesses, please.”

"Puff..." Zheng Wu spewed out a mouthful of blood and finally fell down completely, as if he was so angry.
To be continued...
