Within a few days, the capital rushed eight hundred miles away to reply to the letter, and asked several state capitals near Jianzhou to open warehouses and release grain to be sent to Jianzhou.
After half a month, a large amount of food was gathered in Jianzhou.
After the army had rested and recuperated, the Zhenxi Army and the Chu Army began to advance toward the border.
Along the way, there were people who starved to death, and of course there were also people who were given food and struggled to survive.
The army buried these corpses when passing through the border, otherwise they would rot and breed plague.
For more than half a month, Lin Qing Temple had been tortured so hard by the Chu State's garrison that everyone from the abbot to the novice monks did not dare to take a breath.
Just when they thought the Chu army had finally left, Chu actually left a thousand people behind, saying they wanted to stay at the base camp.
This time the Chu army acted as a villain vividly, but no one in the city spoke up for Lin Qingsi.
On the contrary, Luohan Temple has a large number of believers going to worship Buddha every day, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
Looking at Lin Qing Temple again, because of the presence of Chu troops stationed there, even the most loyal believers in the past did not dare to approach Lin Qing Temple, let alone receive any money for sesame oil.
Monk Lin Jue almost cried.
He felt that he had never done anything to antagonize the Chu army, so why did the Chu army seem to deliberately target them?
Monk Lin Jue even prayed devoutly to the Buddha in the middle of the night, asking the Buddha to appear and save Lin Qing Temple. As a result, Monk Lin Jue was almost killed by a candle hanging from the roof...
Not only did Chu State bully him, but even the hanging candle lanterns bullied him!
Are you going to let others pass?!
The current scene in Lin Qing Temple was naturally arranged by Xu Qing.
The abbot of Lin Qing Temple is not as frank and dedicated to good deeds as the abbot of Luohan Temple.
To put it harshly, compared to Luohan Temple, Lin Qing Temple is simply an insult to Luohan Temple.
It is better to say that Lin Qing Temple is a temple than a shop.
Where is Monk Lin Jue the host? He is clearly the chairman.
Xu Qing is also in business. Although he has been the dean of the China Business Academy for such a long time, he has not done it for nothing. He naturally knows the twists and turns in the business world. When free competition cannot compete, it is time to act evil.
.
Although this world is inherently unfair, it can be said that good people do not live long and the disasters last for thousands of years, but for Xu Qing, he still hopes that good people will be rewarded.
So Xu Qing used some methods against Linjue Temple.
Regardless of whether Monk Lin Jue had bad intentions or not, Xu Qing assumed that he did.
So he left a thousand troops to garrison Linqing Temple and look after the monks living in the temple first, waiting for them to come back after finishing the edict.
The purpose is to prevent Lin Qing Temple from causing harm to the popular Luohan Temple.
At this time, Long Bing'er was riding on the horse and had already changed into a military uniform. She looked more heroic and majestic in her scale armor.
Xu Qing was stunned. It turns out that women can look so good in military uniforms?
If we pass the door at this time, Long Bing'er will be wearing a battle robe at night, right...
Xu Qing regretted for a long time that she didn't bring the lady's headcatcher outfit with her.
But it's a pity that Xu Qing can only think about it now. Since returning to the army, the number of times Long Bing'er even touches Xu Qing's hands has been greatly reduced, let alone the remarkable ones.
If Long Bing'er knew what Xu Qing was thinking, she would definitely not even give him a hand to play with, and she would think nothing of it all day long.
The army marched for several days before passing through the two states and arriving near the border.
The main force in this fight is the army of the Chu State. The Zhenxi Army has worked hard for so long and its troops have been severely depleted. This time, they can just watch the show on the side.
At this time, Pi Luosheng, the marshal of Shezhao Kingdom, did not know what was happening outside.
In his opinion, knowing that they had withdrawn from the two states they occupied, Chu had no reason to attack them.
The Central Plains is very reasonable.
It is unreasonable to fight without declaring it!
At this time, after Pirosheng retreated to the border, he began to live a life of drinking wine and eating meat. From time to time, he would ask one or two women to stay in the room for the night.
That's called freedom all day long.
In fact, Pi Luosheng felt uncomfortable.
Originally, they planned to take advantage of the civil strife in Zhao as a good opportunity to attack Huanglong and occupy the capital of Zhao State, inheriting the great unification of Zhao State.
But he didn't expect that even with a group of new recruits Danzi and young master Bing Longwu, they could hold on until the Chu army came for reinforcements.
As the marshal of Shezhao, Pi Luosheng could have destroyed a whole country, but now he has conquered two states and has to return it after the end.
100% of the battle achievements were forced to be cut down to 90%.
It won't be easy for anyone.
There was nothing he could do now. Even if he was unwilling, he did not dare to lead troops to fight against Chu. He could only sit alone in the city and sulk.
Just as he was holding the scantily clad woman with one hand and holding the wine glass with the other, the spies almost rushed in, knelt on one knee and said: "Marshal, the Chu State Army and the Zhenxi Army have left the border town and are heading towards
It’s coming over here!”
"What?!" When Pirosheng heard what the spy said, his hand shook, and the wine glass immediately fell to the ground, and the woman in his arms was pinched painfully.
Pi Luosheng kicked the woman away and said, "Assemble the army quickly!"
After receiving the news, the Shezhao army did not dare to neglect, and quickly gathered in the meeting hall to wait for Pi Luosheng's instructions.
But there are only a few main combatants.
What happened on the grassland has caused many people in Deshezhao to lose the confidence to fight against Chu. Using swords against firearms is simply a meaningless sacrifice.
Pi Luosheng naturally knew this truth. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Let's not act rashly first and arrange the defense of the city gate. Since ancient times, the siege force has to be several times the number of troops defending the city to capture it. It can also be done
Let our army hold on longer, and send people to negotiate with Chu to ask them what they want and what conditions Zhao has promised them. We can discuss it even if we give up the imperial edict!"
However, before the envoy was sent out, spies came to report that the Chu cavalry had arrived five miles away, and they arrived in an instant. The cavalry was followed by a large number of catapults, infantry, and firearms to guard the enemy.
When Pirosheng and many generals in the meeting hall heard the news, they were immediately confused. Then they left the table one after another and came to the city wall.
Unexpectedly, the Chu army could arrive so quickly.
By the time they climbed onto the city wall, they already saw a dark place, and anyone could feel the murderous atmosphere throughout the city.
The armor worn by the leader was clearly in the style of the Chu Kingdom's armor.
At this time, it was too late to send an envoy. Pi Luosheng had no choice but to hammer the city wall with his fist. Looking at the Chu army under the city, he shouted: "The war between Shezhao and Zhao has stopped. Why didn't Chu declare it?"
Fight and besiege my border city of Shezhao?"
Xu Qing raised his head while riding on the horse and shouted loudly: "Because I have no quality!"
