Chapter 240 How to retreat from the enemy

Gu Zhian's smiling face appeared in front of Ye Canglan's eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he nodded, "To be honest with Uncle Cheng, my nephew does already have someone he likes."

Ouyang Jingcheng became interested and hurriedly asked: "Which girl is she from? You can actually win your favor."

There was a hint of bitterness in the smile on Ye Canglan's face. She really didn't have the shame to tell her that the girl he liked was Gu Zhinian's sister, so she just shook her head and said, "It's okay not to mention it."

Ouyang Jingcheng saw that he didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he just smiled and stopped asking more questions, and then started talking about the border war.

The news that Yunzhou City used thousands of city guards to repel Dongli's 50,000-strong army quickly spread throughout the world, and even Chu Yuanyan who was far in the north also received the news.

At this time, Chu Yuanyan was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries.

He won the decisive battle with Huaigu and killed Huaigu in front of the Nanli generals. Of course, he also paid a heavy price.

"With only a few thousand city guards, they counterattacked and killed Dongli's 50,000-strong army. It is said that Dongli's army only had more than 10,000 people left, and they fled all the way back to the Lianjie camp, in extremely miserable condition."

Chu Yuanyan raised his eyebrows slightly, reached out to take the battle report from Lu Ziqi's hand, and looked at it carefully. It was mentioned in the battle report that thanks to the help of a group of righteous warriors, Yunzhou was able to defend Yunzhou and bravely retreated from the enemy.

"It's a pity that I didn't write down what method was used to repel Dongli's army?" Chu Yuanyan put down the battle report with a look of regret. Now the Nanli Kingdom's army was more than 100,000 more than them. He relied on his black-armored army to defeat them.

If you fight with them, you may be able to win in the end, but you will also pay a huge price accordingly. If you can know how to retreat from the enemy in Yunzhou, you may be able to minimize the casualties.

Lu Ziqi hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "How about sending someone to Yunzhou to investigate?"

Thinking of the thousands of miles between Yunzhou and the northern border, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, it will take too long to go back and forth. Once I learn the method and come back, the war will be over. There is no need."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Lu Ziqi and asked again: "Just now I saw the grain and grass officer and hesitated several times, but there is not enough grain and grass?"

Lu Ziqi nodded, "Originally, this is the day of the autumn harvest. Once the crops in the fields are harvested, our food and grass will not be so stretched. But now that there is a war, those bastards in Nanli Kingdom still choose the fields with crops. Those who can already

All the crops were ruined."

Chu Yuanyan frowned and said without thinking: "Send an urgent report to the imperial court and ask them to send food and grass over as soon as possible."

Lu Ziqi looked doubtful: "Will you give it to me?"

Chu Yuanyan shook his head, "No."

"Then we still need to send an emergency report?" Lu Ziqi was puzzled.

"Don't give it away and don't give it away are two different things." Chu Yuanyan said.

Lu Ziqi understood instantly and nodded immediately, "I understand, but what about our food and grass matters?"

Chu Yuanyan reached out and took out a small seal from the pocket close to his chest, and handed it directly to Lu Ziqi, "Take this to Helan, he knows what to do."

Helan knew, and Lu Ziqi also knew, that this was his master's private seal, and Helan was in charge of a secret treasury of his master, where most of the trophies his master had gained from his battles over the years were stored.

"Master, the army in the north is the army of the Jin Dynasty, and the northern border is the territory of the Jin Dynasty. We can come to the northern border this time regardless of our previous grudges. We have already done our best, so why bother-"

Chu Yuanyan looked at him sideways and interrupted quietly, "Is it possible that you want to watch your brothers die alive because of the lack of food and grass? Or let the people be slaughtered by Nanli's army?"

Lu Ziqi was speechless. It wasn't that he didn't want to help the troops garrisoned in the north, it was just that what the Emperor of Jin Dynasty did made him feel it was not worth it. Why should they sacrifice their lives on the front line, then turn around and have their lives plotted by that dog emperor, or even fight?

They didn't even provide food and fodder, and let the generals who led the troops handle it themselves. There was such a shameless emperor in the world. It's no wonder that the Jin Dynasty suffered such a calamity of national destruction. If the master didn't care about the people in the north, why would they do such a thankless job?
