Urban Spirit Sword Fairy

Chapter 1524 Burned Half

This news is simply too heavy, not to mention that the current situation is so good.

Ye Liangping's 40 troops opened the way ahead, and they could reach Yanjing without spending a single soldier.

After all, the plan for negotiating with Ye Liangping has just been discussed.

Not yet settled.

Even if the deal is settled, the army in Zhao Lingxing's hands is not a vegetarian.

Under such conditions, why would Zhao Lingxing want to retreat?

Wei Zheng showed a smile on his face, glanced at Xiao Yuanjing, and said loudly: "The tens of thousands of soldiers of Prince Zhen, under the leadership of Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi Lin Fan, are currently setting fire in Qi State."

set fire?

Everyone was surprised.

Yun Jiangxin said: "What kind of fire can actually make Zhao Lingxing retreat?"

Wei Zheng said: "Haha, this kid Lin Fan is too cheap. He only picked farmland and set fire to it, causing a large number of farmers in Qishan County of Qi State to lose their crops. Now all the counties in Qi State are starting to send reinforcements to Qishan County. Otherwise, I am afraid that millions of people will starve to death in Qi State!"

"what?"

Xiao Yuanjing was shocked. The last time he contacted, Lin Fan only said that he was going to grab the horse, but he didn't ask carefully.

Didn't expect to do such a thing.

A civil servant frowned, and couldn't help but said, "This Lin Fan has burned a lot of farmland. I don't know how many farmers will become disaster victims. He has committed serious crimes."

This is also the idea of ​​​​many civil servants.

In their view, it is right to rule the world with sage books and win battles with fair means.

"Yeah, it's not too late to deal with the other side's civilians."

The general next to him couldn't see it anymore, snorted coldly, and said: "You really don't feel back pain when you stand and talk, what's the matter with burning a few pieces of farmland, I want to say, if the fire is good, let our country of Yan save money. How many children died."

"You guys are so good at making sarcastic remarks, you go to the front line to fight against the Qi army, you only know how to beep."

Emperor Yan was in a good mood, he didn't expect such great news, he laughed and said, "Before this Lin Fan won the crown prince of Qi, I said I gave him a big reward but he still hasn't fulfilled it, no matter, this time he came back After that, I rewarded him together!"

……

In the evening, Xiao Yuanshen was sitting in his yard in a daze. Now the news that he was deprived of the crown prince had spread.

The plaque of the Prince's Mansion in his mansion has also been forcibly removed.

"Your Highness, let's eat something." A little eunuch next to him whispered.

"What do you want Your Highness to do? I have already been deprived of the crown prince." Xiao Yuanshen stared at the little eunuch coldly: "Are you laughing at me, are you reminding me that I am no longer the crown prince, right?"

The eunuch had a look of wanting to cry but no tears.

You have been deprived of the position of prince, and you have no status of prince, and nothing else.

Would you be happy to call you prince?

The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not!"

"You still want to use me as a bargaining chip? Want to give me to Ye Liangping to calm his anger? What qualifications does Ye Liangping have."

Although Xiao Yuanshen was removed from the position of prince, he still got what he talked about after he left.

"Think I lost? Hmph, do you really think that the world of Yan Kingdom belongs to your Emperor Yan Xiao Yongle? Go invite my uncle over here." Xiao Yuanshen said.

His uncle is naturally the head of the Wushuang Sword Sect!

Xiao Yuanshen clenched his fist slightly and gritted his teeth. He wanted to step by step and become Emperor Yan smoothly, but he did not expect to become like this.

But he is not afraid, he still has the Wushuang Sword School!

……

Qishan County, Qi State, thousands of miles away.

A large number of cavalry dressed in Qi soldiers' clothes did not burn, kill, loot, let alone kill, but only set fire.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses swept past, and the grain fields and cultivated land where they passed were all burned up.

And these guys are quite polite, if a farmer is busy in the farmland, they will 'ask' the farmer to leave first, and then burn.

When such a thing happened, the whole country of Qi was naturally shocked, and the governor of Qishan County immediately dispatched troops from all walks of life to encircle and suppress the arsonist.

But it's embarrassing that if you don't ride a horse, you can't catch up with this cavalry.

Come and go like the wind.

Let's ride a horse, people are not afraid of you, Lin Fan's men are all the most elite cavalry.

How can the cavalry temporarily formed by Qishan County be their opponents?

If you attack with a large number of troops, let alone, you will not be able to catch up with this group of cavalry.

Encirclement and suppression did not work either.

Before the encirclement circle was formed, this group of troops realized that something was wrong and ran away in a hurry.

The people on the side of Qi State are very angry.

Damn it, I can't catch up after chasing, and I can't beat if I catch up.

This group of people doesn't confront you head-on, they run away when they have the chance, and continue to burn after they run away.

The farmers in Qishan County were so burned that they cried for their fathers and mothers.

Lin Fan's army was like locusts, no grass grew anywhere they passed.

At this time, Lin Fan was riding a war horse and leading the army to transfer.

Fang Minting said: "My lord, we have burned half of the grain fields in Qishan County during this time."

"En." Lin Fan nodded, and then said, "I'm afraid the food supply has become tense."

"That's right." Fang Minting then said, "It's just that it's very difficult for our cavalry to evacuate Qi. When the time comes, I'm afraid we will have to fight our way out."

Lin Fan said: "Who said it was going to be evacuated? Continue to burn until the state of Qi begs grandpa to tell grandma to let us leave."

"After Qishan County is burned down, there are other counties." Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

At the same time, in Zhao Lingxing's barracks.

Zhao Lingxing's face was livid.

"A bunch of trash! Can't ten thousand cavalry be restrained?" Zhao Lingxing gritted his teeth and said, "Such a good fighter, tell me there is a shortage of food behind?"

Zheng Guangping next to him gritted his teeth and said, "General, there is no way. Qishan County has already burned half of its grain."

"This is already equivalent to burning one-fifth of our country's grain."

"All counties have opened warehouses to release grain, not to mention supporting Qishan County, there are also some counties with low grain production, and Qishan County provides food support on weekdays."

"Now that Qishan County has been hit by a disaster, they also need the food relief from these granaries."

"Our army is short of food." Zheng Guangping said: "If we continue to march, if the food in the rear cannot meet, our army will lose its combat effectiveness within a few days, starve to death, or even mutiny."

Zhao Lingxing is naturally aware of the dire shortage of food supply.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the local grain of Yan? How much can we grab?"

"The grain in the large granary has already been taken into the bag by Ye Liangping's army." Zheng Guangping said: "As for grabbing grain from those common people, not to mention being dishonest, it's a drop in the bucket."

An army of 70 million can consume a lot of food in a day.
