Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1343 Famine and Natural Disaster 502

Not fatal, but torturous enough.

Chapped lips cannot be alleviated without sufficient water and nutrition.

"Why wasn't the previous report submitted?" The lives of the soldiers were very important. How could such a careless thing happen? A hint of obvious displeasure crept up his eyebrows.

"It was my negligence. Please punish me, Commander." The general bowed and admitted his mistake.

Zhou Ting looked at him deeply. With the war at hand, the general who guards the country has the most power in the northwest except for him. Punishing him at this moment may easily shake the morale of the army.

"A half-year penalty."

"Yes, thank you for the lighter punishment, coach."

Zhou Ting knew that this person might have different ideas in his mind. After all, he was promoted by his father and still cared about his father's goodness. "The war is imminent. Put other things aside for now. What we need to do now is to go all out to prepare for the war."

"I obey your command." The general bowed again.

The other party was so cautious and nonchalant in his troublemaking that Zhou Ting couldn't see him clearly.

As for how he treats his father, that’s not entirely true.

To say that he was devoted entirely to the war was not entirely true.

"General, the peace and stability in the Northwest is inseparable from the joint efforts of you and other generals and soldiers. You should have heard about the events in Fucheng. How much effort I, the teacher, and Miss Cheng have put in is invisible to others."

"Master, teacher, and even Miss Cheng only wish that the Northwest, and even the countries, states, and towns under Master's rule, can live and work in peace and contentment; that the people can have a stable income, and that the elderly can be taken care of and the young can be taken care of. And that the retired soldiers can have the ability to support themselves and their families, and not be left in poverty and destitute, and be looked down upon everywhere."

"Master, Master, and Miss Cheng all believe that the present world is stable and a peaceful and prosperous era will come again."

These words were gentle, but also words of warning to him.

The rule of the Northwest does not allow for two masters. His goal is a truly peaceful and prosperous era. If anyone has second thoughts and wants to restore the old master, don't blame him for being cruel.

The state-guarding general had a calm expression, "I'll remember that. I'll wait and see."

"Yes." Zhou Ting nodded. The matter was over. "General Zhenguo, please call the other generals to discuss the matter."

"Here."

The general accepted it calmly, and after he walked out of the tent, the pent-up desire in his heart slowly settled down; it was like being stuck in a quagmire, which could no longer be seen.

  King of Zhou!

I am filled with melancholy and don't know how to relieve it.

At first he was just a nobody and was promoted by King Zhou. After he became the general, he tried his best to return to the northwest and continue to follow King Zhou.

If the prince had not suddenly changed, taken charge of the northwest, and made outstanding achievements; the ability of the King of Zhou was still good, the problem was that the prince of Zhou rose too fast, had both mental means, acted boldly, and was able to control the situation. He did a lot of practical things for the northwest. In the past few years, the prince still had the arrogance of aristocratic families. At the beginning of the five-year period, he saw that the prince of Zhou was wholeheartedly considering the people.

All the measures and policies are aimed at benefiting the people and enabling them to live a better life.

This is also the reason why he remained silent and did not really turn against his allies in the following years.

He was a man who had climbed up from the bottom of society, and he understood better how difficult life was for the common people. It was better to have someone who was wholeheartedly working for the common people, than when the King of Zhou was in power, who cared about the common people but had no substantive strategies to benefit them.

Regardless of whether the prince of Zhou really wanted to do things for the people or had other reasons, the people were the ones who benefited. According to the reports from the people he sent out, the people of Fucheng lived like they were in a honeypot. Every household had some spare money and was well-off, and the people worked hard every day to earn more money.

There are ways to make money, no worries, and you can work hard for your life wholeheartedly.

Back then, if he had such a secure life, he would definitely not have joined the military camp.

If you put yourself in their shoes, there is a huge gap between the prince and the crown prince. There is no harm without comparison, but with comparison, there is tons of harm.

"Your Highness, you can't compare with the Crown Prince!" So, please understand me. I also want to see all the people in the northwest live as well as the people in Fucheng; even in the future, all the people in the world can live like they are in a honey pot.

The general's face was solemn and he ordered his trusted men to call for people. He waited not far outside the main tent until everyone arrived before bringing them into the main tent.

"Coach, everyone is here."

"At the end of the day, I will pay my respects to the coach."

Everyone knelt on one knee in unison.

"Everyone, please stand up and take a seat." Zhou Ting sat in the upper seat, motionless as a mountain. After seeing them all take their seats, he said slowly, "The kings and princes of the Central Plains have formed an alliance of seven parties. I am facing the military forces of the seven kings and princes in the northwest."

General Zhongwu had known this for a long time. He knew it when he was at the border of Fucheng. The kings and princes would not let the Northwest develop on its own. The wealthy Northwest would sooner or later attract wolves, tigers and leopards. However, the wolves, tigers and leopards had already arrived, so he was not panicked at all.

Hit them when they come!

"Commander, I will fight you."

General Zhongwu was the first to step forward.

The general guarding the country glanced at him unexpectedly, and his men lost the initiative; as expected of someone who had been with the prince for several years, he had an inexplicable tacit understanding with the prince and reacted quickly.

"I'm willing to fight." said General Wu Lue.

"The last general invites you to fight!"

The remaining four generals stood up and knelt down to ask for battle.

"You are all the brave warriors of our northwest. We can only win this battle and not lose." Zhou Ting was satisfied, and a smile flashed in the depths of his eyes. "Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

Seven people responded in unison.

Among them, the highest official rank was the General Guarding the Nation, and the lowest was only the fifth rank; all of them had the same opinion and were in favor of war.

"Very good!" Zhou Ting said, "Next, the general will tell you about the layout of the battlefield. If there are any omissions, make up for them in time, and make sure you have a clear idea of ​​what to do if there are any omissions."

"You will finally understand."

The general was stunned for a moment, then recovered and calmly discussed the layout with them.

In terms of layout, the General Guarding the Country had a draft, and this time it was a draft resolution; therefore, Zhou Ting handed the initiative to him.

After the General Zhenguo finished speaking, General Zhongwu and others nodded in agreement, "General Zhenguo is indeed a general who protects the country. He has made thorough plans. He has stationed 30,000 troops along the Pingyang Pass, so that they can attack or defend. With the support of the 100,000 troops accompanying the commander, we are not afraid of a war of attrition."

"Our goal is to stop the Central Plains troops from entering the northwest. It will be enough if we can stop them. The Central Plains are currently short of supplies and food. They cannot fight a protracted war and will sooner or later drag themselves down."

"Therefore, I agree with the strategy of the general who guards the country."

General Zhongwu took the lead and others followed suit.

While reducing casualties, they also dragged down the military forces in the Central Plains. Without sufficient food and grass support, they would only launch a few waves of wars. Once their momentum wore off, they would be like grasshoppers in autumn, and could be killed whenever anyone wanted.
