As long as we save a little, we can definitely fight a protracted war with the Northern Kingdom.
Economy - of course, it is the economy of soldiers, not the economy of the emperor.
Some ministers took the opportunity to say that since the soldiers are idle now, they have not fought yet, they have nothing to do, and there is no point in eating all day long, so it is better to reduce their rations by half.
Before the war, although the soldiers were frugal in food and clothing, they could still barely have enough food and clothing. Unexpectedly, an order suddenly came down and the rations were reduced by another portion.
Gradually, we are really going to be in a state of not having enough to eat.
At the same time, Emperor Qi ordered people to build a towering overpass in the city. Because of this, he could easily see what the Northern Emperor was doing in the opposite camp.
The overpass, which mobilized tens of thousands of troops, was quickly repaired. From then on, Emperor Qi often took Xiao Lian and a group of concubines to climb the bridge together to observe the enemy's situation outside the city.
However, because the distance was too far, looking around, I could see at most the flags of the North Kingdom fluttering, but nothing else could be seen at all.
Fortunately, this is also a scenery. The two of them were very novel at first, but after a few days, they gradually got tired of it. Emperor Qi had not visited the overpass for many days to inspect.
It was night, and there were curses and curses everywhere in Qingzhou City. The soldiers were causing trouble and were not eating enough. They had reached their limit. Many of them were hungry and stayed in the barracks to sleep all day long.
When Gao Huan came out to inspect the military situation, he found that the patrolling soldiers were staggering and falling asleep next to the city wall.
He was furious, drew his sword and wanted to kill a sleeping soldier. However, when the sword fell, he saw that the soldier was sallow, thin and weak, obviously because he had been hungry for too long.
Gao Huanzhi was strict in his military affairs, but he was always kind to the soldiers. This was another reason for his reputation. At this time, seeing the soldiers acting like this, he felt soft. When his blade deflected, it just hit the stone next to him.
superior.
The flying sparks hit the soldier's forehead and blood spurted out.
