Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 512
Then the eldest princess handed the news to the emperor, and the emperor naturally understood what he should do.

I have to say that the eldest princess did so beautifully these two times. If she had ten men back then, maybe...

The emperor shook his head. There was no such possibility. The eldest princess could not be a man. She had never been involved in anything until now. This time there were ten exceptions. He understood.

But he still felt a little unhappy in his heart. After all, the eldest princess had helped him a lot twice in a row when he was worried about something. He was the emperor, and he couldn't get over it.

Also having trouble getting over this mental hurdle like the emperor was General Weiyuan, who led his soldiers to attack the new city this time.

That's right, it's him again this time!

This time, in order to prevent those bad things from happening, the emperor left all the selection of lieutenants to him personally. He really hoped that General Weiyuan could use all the food in Cang Xiuxuan's new city this time. bring back.

The one who opposed this was General Weiyuan, but he knew that even if he could find an excuse not to go, the emperor would still find someone else to go, so it would be better for him to go by himself.

I still remember that in the battle years ago, they did not get any benefits at all and suffered huge losses. If the emperor really loved the people as his own son, he would not continue to launch a war at this time.

The faith that originally existed in his heart collapsed bit by bit.

But these [-] soldiers...

General Weiyuan didn't know what to do.

Especially what they saw along the way really frightened them. The longer the continuous drought lasted, the greater the panic in the hearts of the people every year. It happened that the emperor was still forcing spring plowing at this time.

Many people refused to do spring plowing because they really couldn't bear to waste money in this way, and were killed on the spot to scare others. This happened in almost every village.

The people were miserable, and all of this was just because of the emperor's words.

As a person in power, his decisions are directly related to the life and death of the people. Judging from the two orders he has issued one after another, neither of them is approved by General Weiyuan.

Just imagine, no matter how much food there is in Xincheng, can it surpass that of Da Rong?The King of Qi had been hoarding food before, just to prepare for the Dajong blockade. After all, they had just moved to the new city and had not yet received a season's food harvest.

After taking away the food, wouldn't those people starve to death?
But in the end, the day when the 12-strong army arrived was when they really faced off. This time they claimed to be a [-]-strong army, but in fact there were almost [-] people. The emperor believed that these people were enough to take over the new city and avenge their shame. .

Cang Xiuxuan was able to get timely news about the anxious situation in Beijing and the emperor's successive actions. He wasn't really worried about the battle a year ago, but now he didn't dare to take it lightly.

The emperor ordered General Weiyuan to come again. He also talked a lot with General Weiyuan a year ago. He thought he would be able to wait for General Weiyuan's letter a year ago, but he didn't expect that he would wait until now. News of the invading army.

According to General Weiyuan's character, he was absolutely not allowed to come to this battle, but he came...

Cang Xiuxuan was a little unsure of what he meant.

The people in the new city are now aware that there is a problem with the weather, and Cang Xiuxuan has no one to hide it from. Everyone can have a few discussions from time to time. Some of the big-hearted people still don't even have much food reserves.

It seems that in their hearts, with their prince and master, not doing anything is no problem.

But all of this was shaken when the Rong's [-]-strong army arrived.

This time it was not the so-called [-]-strong army, but a full [-], which exceeded the [-]-strong army. Moreover, this time they did not camp outside the city, but directly attacked the city. Even Cang Xiuxuan had already Although they had to deal with it, it was still a bit too much to deal with their style of play.General Weiyuan commanded the situation calmly.

The same is naturally true for Cang Xiuxuan.

The day-to-day challenges and challenges made the soldiers on both sides very tired, and less than half a month passed.

Cang Xiuxuan doesn't want to show all his trump cards yet, so he has no way to defeat the opponent. General Weiyuan's dream of a quick victory has also been shattered.

"General, we won't be able to hold on if this continues."

The deputy general came to General Weiyuan's camp and expressed his concerns.

As the coach, General Weiyuan naturally knows this better. From the time they set off until now, they have not seen a drop of rain. The weather in the south is different from that in the north. Even if there is no rain, it is sultry and uncomfortable.

Their soldiers are all from the north and are not used to such weather at all. Their bodies have reached their limit these days.

And the more important thing made him even more worried. The supply of food and grass in Da Rong was no longer available. If they could not capture the city within three days, he did not dare to imagine the consequences.

"How long will it take for the food and grass to arrive?" General Weiyuan finally left some expectations, but unexpectedly the deputy general laughed sarcastically when he heard what he said.

"General, I'm afraid you haven't read the emperor's new decree yet."

General Weiyuan frowned, "When was it? Quickly bring it to me for a look."

The deputy general cooperated very well and brought over the latest order. General Weiyuan's face turned dark when he saw it.

The emperor is just forcing them to follow their ideas!
They only have enough food and grass left to last for two or three days. The soldiers have not had a good rest in the past half month. He believes that as long as they are given a place to sleep, some of them will not fall asleep. Woke up again.

The emperor actually has such an attitude towards people like them who are so loyal and who have made great contributions to the army!

General Weiyuan felt that his heart was even colder this time than last time.

They were fighting for Da Rong here, but the emperor did not even supply them with food and grass. He only asked them to capture the new city as soon as possible. He also warned them not to make any mistakes in the food in the new city, and to transport as much as they had to Beijing.

Don’t they deserve to eat?
General Weiyuan walked around the military camp. Every soldier was tortured by the weather in the south, especially the clothes in Kui's house were soaked with sweat.

They were listless and had no desire to fight anymore.

This person is really particular about luck sometimes.

The pressure on Cang Xiuxuan's side is obviously much easier. They have doctors and food in the city, and the problems he is most worried about do not exist.

But I don’t care anymore, there are so many people outside copying by hand every day, this may be a waste of time.
