Chapter 1649
After receiving Chu Qing's letter, the false emperor did not make a decision immediately, but told Fu Ling about the matter and asked Fu Ling for his opinion.

After reading Chu Qing's letter, Fu Ling knew that the situation was serious, so she immediately asked the false emperor to pay Chu Qing's army and asked someone to escort her along the way.

Due to the urgency of the situation, the team escorting the military pay set off immediately after they were ready. They did not dare to stop along the way, and only stopped for a while when they were extremely tired.

The escort team soon came to the mountain forest, where bandits often appeared, so those who escorted the military pay were very careful.But unexpectedly, they were cautious all the way, but they still encountered bandits.

"Bold! Do you dare to grab the military salary?"

The bandits held their knives and looked at the escorts with a smile, and said loudly, "We are robbing the official silver."

The leader of the escort team frowned and shouted loudly: "What official money? This is the military salary! Do you know the military salary? This is used to buy food and grass for the soldiers defending against the enemy ahead."

"What is the military salary and not the military salary? Anyway, in our eyes, this is the official bank." The bandit laughed and said, as if he didn't take the robbery of the military salary seriously at all.

"Soldiers kill the enemy at the frontier and defend the country. You bandits and Japanese pirates dare to grab the army's salary here. Are you not afraid that His Majesty will find out and kill you?" said the leader of the escort team. They have no chance of winning in the fight, so they can only persuade and threaten them.

"Since we are bandits and Japanese pirates, we have not taken our lives seriously." The bandit leader said without fear of death, then raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers, kill me and give me all the official money!" Grab it."

As soon as the bandit leader's words fell, the bandits rushed towards the escort team, and the two sides fought, and they fought violently in an instant.

There are many bandits, and the escorts have worked hard all the way, so they died and were injured soon.The bandits were cruel and merciless, so even though they were injured, they finally killed all the people in the escort team.

The bandits happily returned to their lair with their military pay, leaving corpses all over the place.

"General Chu, I just learned that the military pay sent by the emperor was robbed on the road, and the people who escorted the military pay were also killed." The spies knelt on one knee and clasped their fists.

"what?!"

Chu Qing's face changed drastically in an instant. They were already in a critical juncture, and now their military pay was robbed again, which could be said to make matters worse.

"General Chu, what should we do now?" The person next to him asked, "Why don't you, General Chu, ask His Majesty for another batch of military pay?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said, "It's too late. It will take six to seven days to deliver the letter from here to the city, and then to the military pay here. Besides, we can't guarantee that the military pay will not be robbed again."

"Then what should we do? There is not much food and grass left, and it can barely last for three days."

Chu Qing frowned and said, "Even if the remaining food and grass can last for three days, the enemy will not give us three days."

"General Chu, what does this mean?"

Chu Qing looked at the marching route map and said: "The escaped captives must have told the enemy about the burning of our food and grass, and the reason why the enemy has not taken action these days is that they want to wait until we are exhausted. They'll wipe us out with a little effort. I guess they'll do something soon."

"Then according to the general's opinion, what should we do next?"

Chu Qing frowned, and he had no good solution right now, he could only say: "Help the robbery of the army's salary first, don't let the soldiers in the camp know, stabilize the morale of the army, and I will find a way to solve the problem of food and grass as soon as possible. Yes, let the spies pay close attention to the enemy's movements."

"Yes, General."
