Chapter 554 But They Have No Food
"What?!" Shangguan Ruoli felt nauseated and almost vomited.
Dongming Ziyu also exuded an intimidating murderous aura, "Press down Princess Linglong and besiege Hancheng!"
After the peace negotiation delegation arrived, they submitted their credentials to Beiling and did not attack Hancheng, the remaining city.
Hancheng is located in a dangerous and fortified place. In the canyon, there are only two city gates in the north and south.
The North City Gate leads to Beiling, and the South City Gate leads to Dongming.
After entering Dongming from Hancheng, there is also a canyon with dangerous terrain. You can also ambush or build new levels in the canyon, so Hancheng is not that important.
Dongming Ziyu had people guarding the South City Gate, waiting for the outcome of the peace talks, and wanted to trade Princess Linglong for Hancheng. It would be best if the outcome failed, and then attack again if it failed.
Now Beiling has also sent 20,000 troops to station unexpectedly at Fifty Miles, hoping to recapture Qingcheng, Mozhen, and Lingcheng at any time.
Now the defenders of Qingcheng, Mozhen, and Lingcheng are all in place. It turns out that the defenders of Hancheng are also surrounding Hancheng. Together with Dongming Ziyu's personal soldiers and the escort of the mission, they have to deal with the 20,000
It was difficult for the army to attack Hancheng by force.
The Beiling army already lacked food, and the 20,000-strong army could not afford it. I am afraid that the defenders did not want to negotiate a peace, and wanted to take the opportunity to anger the Dongming soldiers, and then attack Dongming with a greater number and win less, and recapture the three cities.
Seeing Dongming Ziyu taking the lead in the battle, Xu Cheng countered: "Your Majesty, the documents of peace negotiation have been handed over, so we can't start fighting!"
Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "Then we will send you to be roasted and eaten by the people in Beiling?"
Zhou Haiyang also asked: "Prime Minister, do you mean to watch the people of Beiling eat the people of Dongming to satisfy their hunger?"
Prime Minister Xu said with a gloomy face: "The truth is that I am worried about falling into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If all the troops are deployed to attack Hancheng, what will happen if they attack several towns in Mozhen?"
Zhou Haiyang also said: "Mozhen, Qingcheng and Lingcheng have now raised their city walls with ice and snow, which can withstand them for a while. But if the Beiling people open the gate of Hancheng, 20,000 Beiling people will attack from the canyon, and Hancheng will be blocked."
The pass to the south will suffer!"
Prime Minister Xu said: "What if 20,000 of them attack Mozhen at the same time? Five thousand versus 20,000, they stepped on the corpses of their own soldiers and climbed into the city wall."
Dongming Ziyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and was about to forcefully announce his departure when Beiling's credentials came back.
The Beiling Emperor agreed to a temporary truce between the two sides, but still insisted on requesting representatives and envoys to go to Beiling to discuss peace.
Dongming Ziyu sneered: "This is because we are sure that we will be afraid of his 20,000 troops."
Mo Wen sneered: "Don't even think about it. Without food, not to mention the 20,000, even the 180,000 in his camp will starve to death!"
Prime Minister Xu frowned and said, "But the emperor wants us to go to Beiling Capital to negotiate peace with the Beiling Emperor."
Dongming Ziyu asked: "Have these words of the father been written in the imperial edict?"
"But... if it continues like this..." Prime Minister Xu was speechless.
Mo Wen said calmly: "Princess Lingling is in our hands. If the prince and princess go and they imprison them, wouldn't we send them to the door and let them take care of her?"
Prime Minister Xu was reprimanded by a eunuch, and his beard stood up in anger, "But there are 20,000 troops in Beiling, and there are more reinforcements at any time! We have no soldiers, this is our weakness!"
Dongming Ziyu said: "But they have no food."
At this time, Wang Feng came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news that the Beiling Su family's grain team in Xirong was robbed. The grain that the Beiling court and Nanyun bought encountered a storm at sea, and more than a hundred ships
All the food has sunk into the sea.”
Prime Minister Xu broke out in a cold sweat. He heard that the Beiling Su family's caravans in Dongming were repeatedly robbed, but he did not expect that something happened to the caravans in Xirong and Nanyun as well.
The power of King Xuan is immeasurable!
But he still said stubbornly: "It is a major diplomatic matter, and I still feel that I should ask the emperor for instructions before making a decision."
Dongming Ziyu said expressionlessly: "Okay, then Prime Minister Xu, go to Zhezi, and by the way, tell your father that if I have the tiger charm in my hand to mobilize the border troops, I can take this opportunity to capture the entire Beiling for him.
!”
Prime Minister Xu's eyes darkened slightly, "Yes!"
It would be good to let Dongming Ziyu take Beiling! But the military power cannot be returned to his hands!
Dongming Ziyu knew that Prime Minister Xu would not tell the emperor what he said next, but Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Rites would.
He wanted the emperor to know that by taking away his tiger talisman, he had lost a great opportunity to annex Beiling.
Dongming Ziyu told Zhou Haiyang: "Send someone to tell Beiling's army fifty miles away that something happened to the grain he bought from Xirong and Nanyun."
Emperor Beiling was able to mobilize a large army, so he probably had the highest expectations for those grains.
I wonder if those Beiling soldiers would go crazy in despair when they heard that their last hope of survival was gone?
Zhou Haiyang smiled and went out to make arrangements. A group of soldiers drove out of Mozhen on a bloody BMW with two horns.
Prime Minister Xu was extremely angry. He didn't want to stay in this bitter cold place for a moment. He had to rush back to the capital at 800 miles, and it would take ten and a half days to go back and forth.
Dongming Ziyu would not really wait for the emperor's reply. His purpose was to delay time so that the Beiling people would retreat and come to the border to seek peace.
He decided to wait until the Beiling soldiers became panic-stricken, and the next night he took Wang Feng and suppressed Princess Linglong to sneak attack on Han City and recover all four cities.
Shangguan Ruoli didn't go with her this time. Hancheng was far away from Mozhen and she couldn't come back in one night. She had to deal with Prime Minister Xu and others.
Besides, if the Beiling people make a surprise attack on Mo Town, someone will have to keep an eye on them here.
Before leaving, Wang Feng went to see Bai Qingqing. What satisfied him most was that Bai Qingqing still looked at others like pork, and only had that squinting expression when looking at him.
He did not reveal the sneak attack to Bai Qingqing. After going crazy, he said: "You looked at me lustfully from the beginning. Did you really see how big I am?"
Bai Qingqing said: "People with noses like yours usually have big noses."
Wang Feng asked again: "You have seen many men, so you know this, right?"
Bai Qingqing said calmly, as if the weather was nice today, "Yes, I have seen countless men's bodies, but you are the first one that made me want to try it."
Wang Feng frowned: "You didn't see any blood that day."
Bai Qingqing looked calm: "Do you mind?"
Wang Feng said expressionlessly: "No. I just mentioned it casually."
"I don't want to marry you, and you don't have to feel responsible for me. We each get what we need and don't owe each other anything. If you don't want to, you don't have to come to me." Bai Qingqing's voice was light and there was no trace of anything.
emotion.
Wang Feng felt a little humiliated and said coldly: "I know."
After saying that, he put on his clothes and left the hospital.
I looked back and said, that's it, that's fine, I don't have any worries anymore.
Why don't you just feel bad in your heart?
