Chapter 970
"Your Majesty, I have just made a rough calculation. This batch of grain, mixed with a batch of coarse grain shipped from the Imperial Household Department, is enough to relieve Kyushu's domestic demand for a quarter."
"A quarter?" someone exclaimed!
Then everyone around them smiled: "That's great, that's great!"
"Your Majesty has fulfilled his promise to the people and once again established his prestige. Moreover, this action has severely dampened the morale of Xizhou!"
“It’s a happy ending, so congratulatory!”
"There is no need to worry about food for the time being."
Zhou Jian was also surprised. He thought it could only solve an urgent need, but he didn't expect it to be so much more than expected.
"very good!"
"Go to the city, take good care of the wounded soldiers, and reorganize the whole army. Tomorrow morning, I will personally open the warehouse and release the grain!"
"yes!!"
"Long live our emperor!" everyone shouted, smiling happily.
Not long after, as soon as the news spread, the entire Tongzhou City was detonated, and the people discussed it heatedly and were extremely excited!
There are even many people who carry baskets and sit in the market one day in advance to wait for the food to be released.
"Haha, great!"
"Your Majesty did what he said, and he did it ahead of schedule."
"Now there is food, there is food!"
"..."
Visible to the naked eye, the sky above Tongzhou City is bright.
...
Qingxia Town.
If Tongzhou City is plunged into a city-wide carnival, then this place is synonymous with loneliness and tragedy.
The entire Wu family faction in Xizhou is extremely miserable.
From the entrance of the town to the granary, there were densely piled corpses, all belonging to the Wu family's defenders.
Broken arms, burning flags, and smashed fences all reflect the devastation of yesterday's battle. The granary defenders were left here with almost no ability to fight back!
When Zhuge Ming received the news, he almost vomited blood and fell to the ground.
He came with his army and staggered to the door of the granary.
Everyone around him turned pale, and they were so depressed that they didn't even dare to say a word.
I saw that the huge granary, which stretched for several miles, had been evacuated, and there was still some accidentally spilled rice left on the ground.
As for the food at the back, Dragon Knight couldn't move it all away, so he burned it directly. It was all coke, fly ash, and extremely dilapidated...
The corpses were carried out one by one and piled up on several hills.
Kakakaka!!
Zhuge Ming clenched his fist and made a roar. His calm and wise face was extremely dark, and he stared at the empty granary, his eyes were bloodshot.
"What's going on?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Everyone around them lowered their heads and trembled.
Bang!
A captain suddenly knelt down, sweating profusely, and stammered: "Army, military advisor, last night there was a surprise attack on Qingxia Town by nearly 10,000 elite cavalry, and we didn't receive any news at all."
"There are too many enemies. We can't stop them all. We will kill them all..."
Zhuge Ming has gone completely crazy, his heart is bleeding, and he has lost so much food. Even he, the leader of the Xizhou Cavalry, cannot escape accountability.
The most important thing is that he came out of the family with high hopes, but failed and brought shame to the family. How can he compete for the position of head of the family in the future?
"Everyone is dead, so why don't you die?"
The cold voice contained a hint of killing intent.
The captain felt a chill all over his body: "Military advisor, no, don't..."
puff!!
Zhuge Ming drew his sword and sealed his throat with one blow.
Blood splattered, and the captain covered his neck, his pupils were wide open, and he was in great pain, but he couldn't make a sound. He fell to the ground, twitched continuously, and died in pain.
Everyone present felt as cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they did not even dare to breathe.
As the saying goes, when the house leaks, it rains all night. At this time, a fierce horse gallops up, and it is a scout.
