Seeing the expressions of this group of people changed drastically, Feng Lingtian gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will die? I tell you that unless Chu Xuanchen dies, I will never
die!"
Having said this, he looked at everyone and said sternly: "By the way, how is the war going now?"
After they retreated from Yizhou City, they retreated directly to Qizhou and joined the other 100,000 coalition troops.
As soon as they gathered together, the 100,000-strong army from the Xueyue Kingdom and the 100,000-strong army from the Chu Kingdom also surrounded them.
Therefore, the two armies soon fought together, and the fight was fierce and fierce.
Feng Wu raised her head and said in a cold voice, "Brother Emperor, our two armies fought against each other a few days ago, and there was no difference between you and me. But in the past two days, I suddenly discovered the combat effectiveness of Chu Xuanchen's army.
It has dropped a lot. We have fought several battles with them in the past few days, and we have won and they have lost."
"Really? Chu Xuanchen's army has always been very strong, how could their combat effectiveness drop?" Feng Lingtian asked doubtfully.
Feng Wu said: "That's because their food and grass are running out!"
"What? Their food and grass are going to be gone?" When Feng Lingtian heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
However, he immediately said, "This Chu Xuanchen is always up to tricks. This time, he won't use some painful tricks to paralyze us, right?"
Feng Wu said: "No, I sent people to investigate and found that the Chu army camp did not have much food and grass! Moreover, the soldiers of the Chu army had not received food and salary for several months. When Emperor Hongyuan was in office, he
The corrupt officials under his command embezzled a lot of food and salary, and even transported food mixed with sand to the Chu army. They did not have much food to begin with. And Chu Xuanchen had just ascended the throne. Although he ordered people to transport food to the Chu army, the food was
It’s not much, it’s just a drop in the bucket and it doesn’t work at all.”
Zhang Hu said: "Yes, now that the Chu army is out of food and grass supply, they naturally have no strength or fighting spirit to fight us. So if we work harder, maybe we can annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Okay, that's great!" Feng Lingtian said, clenching his fists proudly, "I never expected that although Chu Xuanchen has an army of 200,000, he doesn't have enough food and grass. This lack of food and grass,
It's useless no matter how many soldiers he has. Feng Wu, Zhang Hu, pass the order, let's continue fighting and try to destroy these Chu troops in one go."
"Yes, Your Highness." Several people immediately answered with their hands raised.

Qizhou Chengdong
Chu army camp
In the camp, Dong Changfeng, Su Qishao, Xue Wuxia, Jiang Ning and others looked at the military sand table, and everyone's expressions were very heavy.
After everyone took a look at the sand table, Dong Changfeng said solemnly: "In the past two days, we have been forced back more than thirty miles by the coalition forces. If this continues, the situation will be very critical."
"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Ning spread his hands and frowned.
Xue Wuxia said: "We must counterattack quickly and show some color to the coalition forces, so that we can revive morale and enhance the confidence of the soldiers."
Su Qishao said eagerly, "But if the soldiers don't have enough to eat, what can they use to fight the coalition forces?"
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes, we don't have enough food, and the soldiers have not been paid. They have no fighting spirit, so how can they win the war?"
Seeing that everyone was worried, Xue Wuxia hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have sent people to Xueyue Kingdom to speed up the transportation of grain and grass. It won't be long before the grain and grass are shipped."
Su Qishao said, "Wuxia, we have such a large population and our daily consumption is huge. The little food and grass from Xueyue Kingdom is simply not enough. Besides, this is Chu State's war. If you are willing to send troops to help us, we have already
I'm very grateful, but how can I ask you to transport grain and grass to us again? Moreover, if you transport grain and grass to us, what will your people do?"
"That's right, Crown Prince, we know that you are good to us, but Snow Country Yuedu cannot protect itself, how can we make it difficult for you? What you want to protect now is your citizens, not us. Don't worry, we have sent people to rush in quickly.
Jing, let the emperor think of a way. I believe it won't be long before the emperor will send people to bring food and grass to support us." Dong Changfeng said.
Hearing what the two said, Xue Wuxia lowered her eyes sadly.
He also wanted to help the Chu army, but Dong Changfeng and the others were right. Their Xueyue country had such a small population and they didn't even have much food, so how could they help so many people?
Even the food and grass he had prepared in advance could hardly support his army of 100,000. How could he help the Chu army?
So even though he had the intention, he had no choice.
At this time, Su Qishao looked at Dong Changfeng and asked: "General Dong, may I ask, how many days can our current food and grass last?"
General Dong thought for a while and said: "If we save some food, we can probably survive for half a month. So, we can only pray that the emperor can transport food to us within half a month. Otherwise, the consequences will be
It would be unimaginable.”
"You have already sent the battle report to the emperor. Based on my understanding of the emperor, after seeing the battle report, he will definitely raise food and grass to help us as soon as possible. However, what I am worried about is that our treasury is empty. There is no food and grass in it. Even if the emperor comes again,
Even if you want to raise money, you can't!" Su Qishao said worriedly.
