Li Luo left the Supreme Palace, and soon the spy Chen Yu came to report.

"Lord, Chen Yiji has frequently contacted Wu Er and other surrendered generals in the past, intending to control the troops."

Li Luo sneered, "Wu E and others have reported this to me secretly. Chen Yiji, this person is greedy for life and fears death, has great ambitions and talent, and cannot cause any storms. Chen Yu, you have been in Annan for half a year, right?"

Chen Yu said, "Five and a half months."

"You don't have to stay in Annan, go back to Haidong and go back to see your wife and children. The wife will remember you." Li Luo patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

Chen Yu said, "Then I will follow the order to return to China. The lord is my Tang Daye, so please take care of me."

He does miss his family, especially his newborn son.

Li Luo said, "You go back to Haidong and tell your wife. If the remnants of Dangxiang troops who went to Haidong do not surrender, they will be detained and act as coolies. The same is true for the future Khitan Jurchen army."

Chen Yu thought for a while, "Lord, Dangxiang Canjun and Khitan Army dare not say it. But the Jurchen Army should surrender. Shi Ma Huaide's father was named Shi Ma Shi Ming. Shi Ma Shi Ming was the son-in-law of the Jin Kingdom, and Tai Gong was the King of the Jin Kingdom. He was Shi Ma Shi Ming's uncle and Shi Ma Huaide's uncle."

Li Luo pondered and said, "I know this. But when Jin died, Shi Ma Huaide was just born, and he had never seen Taigong, his uncle. Besides, his father Shi Ma Shi Ming was a man who surrendered to Meng, and his relationship with Taigong should be bad."

Chen Yu said, "This matter will still be on Taigong. I believe that the wife and Taigong have already had a problem, so the lord does not need to be distracted and troubled by this matter."

"...Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mahuaide went south to Zhanpo, and got tricked by the Song army in the Poye River Valley. They were poisoned by the war horses and had diarrhea. They then encountered 20,000 Song army, of which 5,000 were heavy steps..."

"After a bloody battle, the Khitan Jurchen army was almost wiped out, and a few surrendered to the enemy. Although the Song army used tricks, they were defeated as if they were defeated, and their vitality was severely damaged. They could only abandon Zhan Po and flee by boat!"

A few days later, a good or bad news spread to the Yuan army camp.

The bad thing is that the Khitan Jurchen army, who went south to attack the Song army, was actually tricked and wiped out.

OK, Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mahuaide did not die in vain. They severely injured the Song army and asked the Song army to give up Zhan Po. In this way, Zhan Po would fall into the hands of Dayuan.

Dayuan only spent more than 10,000 Khitan Jurchen cavalry to get Zhan Po, which was considered a profit.

Especially Yesudier, he was very happy. Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mahuaide were both offended to death by him, so he certainly hoped that they would be done. Now both of them died in Zhan Po and asked Dayuan to take Zhan Po by the way. That was of course the result he wanted most.

And Li Luo of course knew what was going on.

Li Luo had already given the special inspection bureau the strength and marching route of the Khitan Jurchens. Then, he returned to Zhanpo's 20,000 Tang troops and arranged them according to the plan.

In the Poye River Valley, where the water plants are the most abundant and the must-pass place of the Khitan Jurchen army, the Tang army sprinkled a large amount of croton flour and light salt water into the grass.

Where did the Khitan Jurchen cavalry's war horses let go of the lush green grass sprinkled with light salt water? They suddenly gnawed hard.

When Yelu Zhongjie found out that something was wrong, he quickly stopped the war horse, but it was too late.

Not long after, a large number of war horses became diarrhea and weak, and a few war horses even died of dehydration. The Tang army, who had long been ambushed based on intelligence, also appeared on the battlefield at the right time.

The Khitan Jurchen cavalry is the second only to the Mongolian cavalry, but because they are too familiar with cavalry and shooting, they are not the infantry opponents with strict formations. As a result, the Khitan Jurchen army failed in the initial battle.

The combat power of the "Song Army" shocked the Khitan Jurchen Army. I never expected that the Song Army would be so elite.

In the entire Yuan Dynasty, there was no more elite infantry than the "Song Army".

However, the Tang army did not annihilate the Khitan Jurchen cavalry, but just pressed the siege step by step. The Khitan Jurchen cavalry was trapped for three days and three nights, and they were exhausted. In the end, Hu Gu and Du Lie, the Jurchen generals, finally convinced Shi Ma Huaide to surrender.

Once the Jurchen army surrendered, the Khitan army could not support it, and Yelu Zhongjie had to surrender.

Then, more than 10,000 Khitan Jurchen troops were disarmed and sent to the Tang Navy fleet.

At this time, I am afraid that it will be almost Haidong.

Li Luo was very happy after receiving the news. Another strategic purpose of the expedition was achieved.

When he looked at Water Margin, he felt that Song Jiang and others often used conspiracy or fraud to make money to make others go up the mountain and join the gang, and he felt that others would definitely not be convinced.

But now, he found that the Water Margin was not written incorrectly, but that he had thought the ancients simple.

…………

In a blink of an eye, the Yuan army's cage policy had been implemented for nearly a month. The court in the mountains became increasingly difficult.

"Your Majesty, the imperial guards and the township soldiers fought each other today to fight for food, and thousands of them were killed or injured."

In a rain forest deep in the Tianchang Mountains, in the simple "palace" temporarily built, Pingzhang's political affairs Li Wenxiu was reporting a news to Chen Huang with a bitter look on his face.

Chen Huang was wearing gauze cloth, wore razor shoes, and his hands were pillars and bamboo sticks, dressed like a nobleman in the mountains and forests. But at this moment, he had no slight indifference and tranquility as a hermit.

"What? Fight for food? They are so brave!" Chen Huang was furious.

Even though he had become a court in the mountains, Chen Huang's imperial majesty still made the followers feel pressure.

Since entering the forest, it has been almost half a month, and there has been almost no good news. When every bad news comes, Chen Huang's temper has become bigger.

Chen Riyan died for his country, Chen Yiji usurped the throne and reinvigorated the country, the Yuan army blocked and encircled, and many officials and people who followed him into the mountains surrendered...

These bad news also accompanied by the crisis of food emergency and material shortage in the court in the mountains.

Chen Huang could still hold on to these things. Zhao Chang's despicable and shameless grain thief could persist in Java. Why couldn't he hold on to the Emperor of Dayue?

But when Chen Huang heard the imperial guards killing each other, he was really panicked.

The biggest pillar of the imperial court in the mountains is the last 10,000 imperial guards and 20,000 rural troops. This is already Chen Huang's biggest reliance, and his capital to turn things around.

In the end, the number of troops that protect the escort will be gone, and the Dayue will be over.

"Come on, let the generals of the two armies come to see me!" Chen Huang paused heavily on the bamboo stick in his hand, his gray hair and his turbid eyes, and he looked completely old.

In fact, Chen Huang is only in his early forties. It’s really a disaster that makes people grow old.

Soon, several generals were brought by the guards.

Chen Huang scolded him, "Bastard! Are you thieves? For a bit of food, they fought each other like robbers, and they were not in the form of a general in the Great Yue Dynasty! Do you still take me seriously? You are so brave!"

Several generals knelt down with a loud voice and bowed together, saying, "I am aware of the crime, please calm down your anger. However, the lack of food is so short that the soldiers are hungry..."

How could Chen Huang really ask a few generals? It was just a scolding and slapping. He looked at Li Kuo, who was in charge of food and supplies, "Mr. Li, tell me honestly, how much food does the business in the mountains have?"

Li Kuo smiled bitterly and said, "Report to the Supreme Master, there are only hundreds of stones of food."

Chen Huang almost fell from the stump when he heard this. Looking at Li Kuo's eyes, he was filled with incredible shock and anger.

Well, it's not right, I probably heard it wrong.

Thinking that he had heard it wrong, Chen Huang's expression calmed down a little, and he smiled and said, "Is it clear, how much food is left?"

Li Kuo sighed in his heart and could only bite the bullet and say, "There are only... less than three hundred stones."

Li Wenxiu also said, "Your Majesty, the exact number is 250 stones! In fact, except for the people who are in the palace, the civil and military ministers and the military and civilians have already run out of food."

"Two hundred and five..." Chen Huang heard it clearly this time.

A panic that had never happened before suddenly made his left face convulsions frantically, causing a large mosquito to fly over his eyebrows, and frightened to fly away quickly.

"Ahem..." Chen Huang couldn't believe that this was true. When he entered the mountain, there were still 70,000 to 80,000 stones of grain. How could it be gone in just a few days?

Not only Chen Huang, but also Emperor Chen Xing was stunned, as if five thunders were thundering.

The dozens of ministers who accompanied him were all ashamed and did not dare to look at Chen Huang.

Chen Huang tried hard to calm down the fear and anger, and his left face spasm said, "What's going on? Where is my food? Isn't there still tens of thousands of stones?"

Chen Guangqi had to report to the truth, "Brother, did you see a fire in the forest the day before yesterday?"

Chen Huang immediately understood, and his left face was spasming again, "Are you going to tell me that what is burning is not the forest, but the food?"

Chen Guangqi nodded with a heavy expression, "It's true that the burned one is food. The emperor's brother is in good health. I am afraid that it will hinder the emperor's brother from recuperation, so I dared to hide it."

Chen Huang took a deep breath, "It's great, why are the food burned?"

"It's a spy from the Yuan army." Chen Guangqi's face turned pale, "They had already mixed in and burned the food with tinder oil."

The spy of the Yuan army mentioned by Chen Guangqi is of course the spy of the Special Attack Bureau.

Chen Huang said, "It's time to come, and it's useless to be upset. Let's think about how to remedy it. Well, I'll send an order to let the people in the mountains contribute a bucket of food to rescue each of them."

In any case, the troops and horses that accompany the horses cannot be cut off, and the civil and military ministers who accompany the horses cannot be cut off. As for the people, it is time for them to sacrifice for Dayue.

The imperial court in the mountains ordered the collection of grain, and as the people entering the mountains suddenly became extremely miserable. After handing over a bucket of grain, they would go hungry.

So, a large number of people fled out of the mountains with the only little food.

Not long ago, they followed the Emperor into the mountain and were sincere. Now they are sincere in escaping from the mountain and are sincere in escaping from the mountain.

People's hearts...

What is the heart of the people? The heart of the people is food.

At this time, another group of people who fled into the mountains escaped from the mountains again. They chatted while rushing to the mountain road.

"Have you heard it? His Highness the Regent said that as long as you go out of the mountain and return to your hometown, you can harvest your own crops. Are you afraid that you will have no food to eat? Being bullied by the Yuan court is better than starving to death in the mountains."

"Oh, I just feel sorry for Da Yue and the Supreme Emperor."

"So what? King Zhao has surrendered, and Marquis Zhangxian has surrendered. So many high-ranking officials have surrendered, why can't we surrender? So what can we surrender if we don't surrender? Da Yue is about to perish, so what can we do?"

"Yes. It's worthy of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor in the mountains, but our whole family will starve to death, and even if we don't starve to death, they will be killed by the Yuan army who searched the mountains. Now, the court itself is not careful, and the food is burned by the Tartar spies, but we have let the people contribute food. How can we worry about our lives or death?"

"Not good, run quickly, the imperial guards are catching up!" Suddenly, a commoner rushed over panting.

But as soon as he took a few steps, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and a feather arrow shot out of the forest, piercing him into his heart. The people had no time to groan and fell to anger.

Immediately afterwards, a group of imperial guards in iron armor rushed out of the forest, aiming at the escaped people together.

"You dare to defect! Go back to the mountain quickly, otherwise you will be killed!" An imperial guard pressed his head and shouted, "Go back!"

The people who were fleeing just now were silent and dared not take a step forward, so they could only look back tremblingly.

A little officer with a look of appearance suddenly whispered to Du's head, "Du's long, these more than a hundred people carry food, so it's better to just..."

Duoying frowned and said, "But they are all the people of Dayue and have no disobedience. How can they kill them?"

Shi Chang said, "Don't blame me for everything. How can my subordinates know that they shouldn't kill me? But now that food is so short, my brothers can only eat half full. I heard that in two days, I will not be able to drink porridge... They all bring food."

I couldn't bear it at first, but seeing almost everyone on the back of food, my eyes slowly became cold and harsh.

"You not only defect, but also dare to resist and rebel, kill me!"

With a wave of his head, a sound of squeezing bowstrings suddenly sounded, followed by screams and curses.

In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred unarmed people were killed by their own army, leaving no living person.

The Vietnamese army raised the butcher knife to its people was nothing more than a little food.

This is not the most terrifying thing. At least I know that I have been charged with forcibly detaining people and killing people to silence them. What’s even more terrifying is that the Vietnamese army, who accompanied me, actually began to openly kill people and rob grain.

Even the officials who stopped were killed by the increasingly out of control of the imperial guards.

The news was given to Chen Huang, but Chen Huang couldn't speak for a long time.

There was shortage of food in the mountains, and the Yuan army outside the mountains blocked it. Even the contact with Vietnam was gradually severing, and the last little troops suddenly became unruly. How long can we last if this continues?

The food problem has become a deadly noose. Without the attack of the Yuan army, the court in the mountains will not be able to hold on.

Under the strict and cruel cage policy, the mountain court not only cut off the supply of food and food, but also the government orders were isolated.

Chen Huang said that it was the Supreme Emperor Annan, but in fact he had become a mountain king.

"Your Majesty, today a commander of an imperial guard camp defected and surrendered to Yuan Dynasty and took away a total of five hundred soldiers."

"Your Majesty the Supreme Master, Zhou Liyu, the Minister of Personnel, fled out of the mountain with his family."

Disgusting news came to Chen Huang's ears. Chen Huang's initial anger gradually became accustomed to it, and now he is even more numb.

"The sky is going to marry Yu Niang, let him go." Chen Huang sat on a tree stump, drinking a bowl of pheasant and mushroom soup. Chen Huang, who was eating in the early years, now realized that wild game must be eaten in the mountains to make it more delicious.

It seemed that in his opinion, no battalion commander or minister of the Ministry of Personnel could compare to this bowl of pheasant and mushroom soup.

"Where has the Yuan army been?" Chen Huang asked lightly.

"I heard that Xijie Mountain was found in the north." Chen Guangqi replied. This lieutenant is now like an old man. But in fact, he is younger than Chen Huang.

"The spring rice is being harvested, but unfortunately it has become the food for Li Luo and Chen Yiji." Chen Huang narrowed his eyes, "My dear friends, who else do you want to leave, I will never stop you."

The only twenty remaining ministers all looked desolate and sad, and seemed to be unfamiliar to Chen Huang.

"I swear to follow His Majesty the Supreme Master to the death to recover!"

Chen Huang shook his head, "If Chunji is in hand, it would be impossible to recover from Dayue. But now, there is no chance. Li Luo and Chen Yiji colluded with each other, and even if they don't die in battle, they will be trapped and starved to death."
