Chapter 262 Out of food

After Jiang Xinyan finished telling a story, it was just one watch, "Go to bed, I'm sleepy."

"Brother and sister-in-law, Happy New Year! Happy New Year to you all."

This ancient New Year's greeting is to kneel on the ground in an ancient manner, and several children pay New Year's greetings one by one.

Jiang Xinyan happily sprinkled another wave of red envelopes, "After a year, you will be one year older, study hard and be healthy."

Wei Dabin, Zhao Yu, and Chu Yi came forward to pay New Year's greetings, and they also got a red envelope.

In the cave, only Cheng Xianhou brought a few uncles to pay homage to the New Year, and those who came to pay homage also received red envelopes.

Those women and girls were eager to move, but they did not dare to go forward without being instructed.

Thinking about waiting for the two big men to leave, they will go up to give New Year's greetings to General Wei and the others. They don't ask for red envelopes...

As soon as Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan left, Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The girls were so angry that they could only stomp their feet, and they had no choice but to sit by the bonfire and wait for the dawn to have something delicious.

Jiang Xinyan went into the space to soak for a while and then fell asleep. After Chu Lixuan fell asleep, she thought about it.

The    people appeared in the cave where the North Vietnamese people lived. It is also deep in a mountain. The cave can accommodate about 20,000 people and more than 1,000 horses.

This time, the three princes of North Vietnam are leading the troops. They are discussing, "Today's Chinese New Year, should we go to attack the city gate?"

"This winter is too cold, many of our horses have froze to death, and it is not suitable for horses to travel in this icy world." Another rough bearded general said.

"General Mo is right. It's okay to fight without warhorses. We don't have any advantage in sieging the city," said the third prince of North Vietnam.

"We actually don't want to go to war, but the weather this year is bad, so many cattle and sheep have been frozen to death, and the frozen ones are not poisonous, so they are unwilling to exchange food with them."

"It's their Dongchen Kingdom! Look how many takins and wolves we brought back."

"Yeah! It would be great if we captured Youzhou again and we grow our own food next year."

"It's not as good as we thought! Since the king of Zhenbei retired, we have passed through three county towns and countless villages, and we have not had a single grain of food."

"Many of Dongchen's people starved to death outside the city!"

"That's why they are timid. All these deep mountains are treasures. We can hunt and kill tens of thousands of beasts in one day, and we shouldn't starve to death."

"Like a stupid pig... cowardly like a mouse... Hahaha..."

Chu Lixuan stopped listening to this. When he fought Nanman before, he had heard no matter how unpleasant it was.

This is also the reason why he didn't bring Jiang Xinyan with him, and he couldn't bear to be angry with her.

Chu Lixuan silently killed tens of thousands of takins, wild wolves, and wild boars, all of which he earned.

The wild beasts hunted by the North Vietnamese people, and those who want to be transported back to North Vietnam, are placed on the snow outside the cave, as if they are not afraid of losing them at all.

He also wanted to put the more than 1,000 horses into the space, but he couldn't put them in after reading many times.

It is estimated that the living creatures cannot be received, so he will ask his daughter-in-law to try it some other day, and I have gained a lot today.

Chu Lixuan appeared in the mansion of Youzhou Futai wearing a mask, and directly entered the courtyard where the King of Zhenbei lived.

At this time, King Zhenbei hadn't fallen asleep, and there was a handsome and handsome young man, very similar to the head of Xuanyuan.

His concubine, concubine, and children stayed in the capital, and he accepted another beauty at the border of Youzhou, the daughter of Lord Qianfutai.

and Aunt Cheng are full sisters and have a pair of children. Their son Xuanyuanchen is 16 years old this year, and his daughter is 13 years old.

The father and son sat at the table and drank each other. Xuanyuanchen was born in the north and had been drinking since he was a child.

"Father, the city has been out of food for two days. Our army of 500,000 people has not been paid since August."

"Isn't the surname He very capable? Ask him what he wants to eat?" King Zhenbei was furious.

From October, He Jianjun said that he was ordered by the emperor to close the border trade, and several negotiations were unsuccessful, which made the King of North Yue furious and sent 300,000 troops to press the border.

His emperor's elder brother sent He Jianjun to the front line to coordinate with him a few years ago.

They check and balance each other, and there are contradictions with each other. For the mobilization of the army, only two people can command the mobilization at the same time.

He Jianjun is brother-in-law with Xinfutai in Youzhou Prefecture, and He Jianjun is the elder brother of Concubine He Gui, so Mr. Futai is naturally embarrassed by He Jianjun.

This border trade was closed, and North Vietnam could only fight. He Jianjun was afraid of death again, so he took some people back to the city of Youzhou.

caused the morale of the Zhenbei Army to be low, and it was no wonder that he was not defeated. Xuanyuan Dong wanted to fight tenaciously, but the army was unstable.

He couldn't mobilize his troops by himself, so he jumped with anger, but to no avail, he could only follow the troops to retreat to Youzhou Fucheng.

Fortunately, all the people fled the famine at that time, some starved to death, and some entered the city with his soldiers.

No matter how much food the family in Fucheng has stored, it will not be enough for so many people to eat. It is really worrying. There is not a decent New Year's Eve dinner today.

"Your Highness, rest early! Your health is important." Leng Yue, the guard of the King of Zhenbei, said worriedly.

"Cough...how can this king sleep like this now?"

"Father, your health is important, why hasn't the North Vietnam attacked the city recently?" Xuanyuanchen asked curiously.

"They may have entered the Daling Mountains, where wild beasts are everywhere. North Vietnam suffered heavy losses due to the snow disaster. They just hunted and killed the beasts for the winter."

"How much food is left in the city?"

"The subordinates have investigated. Each family has their own people to eat, and it takes at most half a year. The food of a family can supply our army for up to three or five days."

"In addition, the subordinates have found out that our winter military pay has been distributed by the court, and it was detained by the Youzhou government..."

"Lord Ge, this king said that the son of a **** surnamed He was raised by him. Why did he want to withdraw back to the city? It turned out that they were greedy for military pay."

"I can't find where the food is stored. It's just that the surnamed He brought tens of thousands of personal soldiers and ate better than the soldiers."

Leng Yue said weakly: "Now, many of our soldiers take the initiative to take refuge with the surnamed He, and they can receive food by showing their loyalty to him."

"Cough cough..."

"Father, you vomited blood, call the military doctor quickly." Xuanyuanchen shouted anxiously.

"Cough...Chen Er, Father is fine, this is mad..."

"King Zhenbei, give you medicine." Chu Lixuan was wearing his flamboyant mask.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" Leng Yue drew out her sword.

"Leng Yue, put away the sword, since this hero can come in, you are no match for him."

King Zhenbei continued: "This hero has already killed us if he wants to kill us. He can come to us quietly, and if he doesn't make a sound, we won't find it."

Leng Yue was angry and ashamed, "My subordinates should be damned."
