Time passed quickly, and the newly planted potatoes in Huizhou soon yielded a good harvest. In the battle between Xiao Ling and Yu Guo on the front line, good news came frequently.
The funniest thing is that Xiao Chengyuntong, the prince of the Jade Kingdom, took the initiative to challenge Xiao Ling in a duel, but he didn't survive three rounds at Xiao Ling's hands.
The coaches of the two armies fought against each other and were defeated by the other side in less than three rounds. It was a bit embarrassing.
Xiao Chengyun ran back in disgrace, his face extremely ugly.
"It was our palace's mistake this time. Next time we will definitely take the head of that thief Xiao!"
Feng Wei stood beside Xiao Chengyun and remained silent, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't understand how His Highness could say such big words despite losing so miserably.
Three generations of his ancestors fought for the Jade Kingdom. In the beginning, the Jade Kingdom was a northern nation. They were all brave and good at fighting, and soon occupied a large area of land. The soldiers of the Central Plains had no power to fight back under their hands, but in the past
After living a luxurious life for a period of time, the combat effectiveness of the Jade Kingdom has been greatly reduced.
Ever since the late emperor's absurd disregard for the government's affairs, the country of Jade has obviously been on a decline. Now looking at this ignorant prince, Feng Wei only felt that his head was big.
But now it seems that it is indeed necessary for me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
The only good thing is that after Xiao Chengyun failed this time, he began to pay attention to the new policies in Huizhou.
At first he dismissed the new policy, but now his mind has changed. During the battle, he could clearly feel that the morale of the soldiers on Xiao Ling's side was extremely high, and they had sufficient food. At the same time, there was also intelligence coming to him. What about Huizhou?
The potatoes found by "Master Yuan" are really filling.
Xiao Chengyun's eyes lit up. Huizhou is in the north, and his country, Jade, is even further north. Many crops cannot be grown, and most of the people are nomadic and raise livestock.
If these "potatoes" could be grown by them, it would, in turn, help them a lot!
With Xiao Chengyun thinking this way, he called his subordinates to draw up a plan.
"In this way, our spies have spied on the storage location of the Eastern European country's grain. You should lead a small group of troops and go south from here, making sure to steal all the other side's grain."
Feng Wei couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, is this plan a little too reckless?"
Xiao Chengyun waved his hand, disapprovingly, "What's so reckless? If these potatoes can be used by us, we can reduce the number of hungry people by more than half!"
Feng Wei tried to persuade him a few more times, but a look of displeasure soon appeared on Xiao Chengyun's face.
He had no choice but to retreat in silence. After all, Xiao Chengyun was too aggressive, and he liked to be flattered by others and did not like to listen to unfavorable advice. No matter how much he said, it would be useless.
That night, a small elite force from the Jade Kingdom sneaked into Huizhou. They thought they were unnoticed, but little did they know that this behavior had long been seen by Xiao Ling.
Jade State's spy in Huizhou had long been discovered by Xiao Ling, and had been replaced by a dead soldier trained by Xiao Ling himself. What is now being sent to Xiao Chengyun is false news. In fact, the so-called place where grain is stored
, Xiao Ling had already set up troops to ambush there, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
After County Magistrate He found out, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, "As expected of the emperor! We will wait to catch the turtles in the jar and kill them without leaving a trace!"
Others also nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, Yuan Dai's eyes rolled, and something suddenly came to her mind.
"I have a better way."
Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Dai.
"What method?" Xiao Ling said.
"You don't know, this potato can save people, but it can also kill people."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Kong Yang asked puzzledly.
"Potatoes are fine to eat normally, but if they are sprouted potatoes, people will suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, weakness of limbs, and in severe cases, even death due to difficulty breathing. There happen to be a lot of sprouted potatoes. Let's give them a try. Isn't this right?
Isn't it more enjoyable?" Yuan Dai smiled mischievously, like a little fox.
By then, all the troops in the Jade Kingdom will have physical problems. If they want to go forward to attack, wouldn't they be able to capture them easily?
Yuan Dai's proposal was indeed very good, and even Xiao Ling's eyes lit up.
Xiao Ling's heart moved slightly as she looked at Yuan Dai's cunning profile.
He doesn't know how many surprises she has in store that he doesn't know about.
Several other people even exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty, this plan is great!"
"It's absolutely amazing! If we set up an ambush, the Jade Kingdom would only lose a small elite force, which is really harmless. But... if they eat these poisonous potatoes, they will be killed without a single blow.
An entire army was destroyed! It is absolutely the best strategy in the art of war!"
Several people looked at Yuan Dai with burning eyes, "How did the Queen get this wonderful idea?"
Yuan Dai:..........
This stopped her from asking.
What can she say? Isn't it always written like this in TV series? She can't remember which TV series, anyway, it's an old routine.
She scratched her head and said, "Well... I just read it in a story book."
Several people were even more surprised, "What kind of talk book has such advanced ideas!"
"He is an author who is called the number one writer." Yuan Dai advertised for herself without blushing or heartbeat.
However, a few people paid special attention to it. They remembered this name in their hearts and decided to buy this master's works and read them carefully when they went back.
Xiao Ling quickly dispatched soldiers and placed several batches of sprouted potatoes at their destination before Xiao Chengyun's people arrived.
A small group of troops led by Xiao Chengyun secretly arrived at the so-called grain storage place. It was night when they arrived, and they could not see their fingers. The little soldiers on guard in front were drowsy and did not notice at all that their group was there.
arrival.
The leader sent people to knock out all the guards, and then started looking for the so-called potatoes. Xiao Ling and others hid the food in a very hidden way, but they still found it.
The leader looked at the large piles of potatoes in front of them. He was overjoyed, as if he had seen himself being promoted. He waved his hand and said, "Take them all away!"
