At that time, His Majesty was investigating the first thing: where did the food and grass in Beiyan Dongchi come from?
He hasn't reached the border yet, but he was thinking about it along the way.【26nbsp;】
The so-called knowing yourself and your enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.
The soldiers thought that His Majesty had only given birth to a little princess and would be very depressed along the way, but he did not show it, and his emotions and sorrows were not obvious.
When he was camping at dusk that day, he held an emergency meeting. Several generals accompanying the army and the second prince attended the meeting.
Everyone was very confused about the source of food and grass in Beiyandong Lake. Deputy General Zhao Jiayi said: "I also had confrontations with Datan State on the border. Although I did not fight head-on with Beiyandong Lake, I had several indirect fights.

There were contacts with Korea and other countries. In the first five years,
His cavalry spans thousands of miles, and it can be said that his influence greatly exceeds that of the king of Danguo. He is talented and strategic, and is determined to fight us to the end. He will definitely do it at all costs. As long as he succeeds in his confrontation with us this time, let alone half a year's food and grass, and so on.
After that, the small countries will provide him with a year's worth of food and grass... Besides, their soldiers are different from us. We are full-time soldiers who do not farm or produce, while their soldiers immediately go to burn, kill and loot as soon as they are free.
, making trouble all over the border
It can be said that they have no worries about being self-sufficient. Therefore, their actual demand for food and grass is fluid and very elastic. It is not as good as ours. They have to collect so much to be enough; their so-called half-year food and grass, maybe one or two
