What is that? !

The court soldiers had never seen sweet potatoes before. When they saw the sweet potatoes piled up like a hill, their eyes widened.

Is that edible?!

They were shocked to see that the Plague City soldiers put the thing into the fire and buried it, and then after a while, they dug it out of the fire.

After the sweet potatoes cooled down a little, they peeled off the outer skin and started eating them with relish.

The imperial soldiers swallowed hard, seeing how the soldiers from Plague City were eating with such delicious food!

Not only did they have game to eat, but they also had foods that the imperial soldiers had never seen before. Each of them could eat several of them, and some with big appetites even ate more than a dozen.

"What on earth is that? Why do they eat it so deliciously?"

"Can the princess's soldiers eat so much? Eat until they're full? Can she afford it?"

"Didn't General Guan say that the princess, with so many soldiers and horses, must only eat once every two days? How come this is different from what General Guan suspected?"

"Hiss! Can it still be eaten?" The court soldiers whispered, their eyes shining.

Oh my god!

How much food is there in Plague City?

These piles of food were eaten up by these thousands of soldiers.

The imperial soldier looked down at the hard capsule and cold porridge in his hands, and suddenly found it difficult to swallow.

"What? Do you want to go to Plague City for dinner?" Guan Pei shouted.

The imperial soldiers lowered their heads hastily, not daring to peek at the Plague City soldiers eating.

After waiting for a long, long time, the Plague City soldiers seemed to have finished eating.

For the imperial soldiers, this meal was the longest meal they had ever eaten in their lives!

Even if they didn't go to see it, just smelling the fragrance made them feel that the days were as long as years. Every minute and every second, they prayed that the plague city soldiers would finish eating quickly and not tempt them again.

They won't be able to hold on...

But at this time, the test has just begun.

The eldest princess had already stood on the city wall, observing the expressions of the court soldiers. Next to her was Gu Sang in the form of a void projection.

Seeing the imperial soldiers looking at the delicious food they were eating, their mouths were watering.

The eldest princess sincerely praised Gu Sang: "Sangsang, your idea is really brilliant."

"They want to trap our Plague City in this way and cut off its food supply."

"We can also use their own tactics to counter their own, without sacrificing a single soldier, and shake their morale."

The eldest princess really didn't expect that a war could be fought in this way. Today was an eye-opener for her.

Seeing the unexpectedly good effect, a smile appeared on Gu Sang's face.

Gu Sang: "This is the idea I got from my ancestors after reading the history books yesterday. The court only knows that we have sweet potatoes, but they don't know the specific yield and maturity period of sweet potatoes."

"I think Guan Pei thought Plague City couldn't survive. You have so many soldiers, you can't even afford to feed them, so he thought of using this method to buy time."

"What a shame, they underestimated the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes!"

"Next, we can proceed to the next step."

"Wei Qi, let those people come out!"

After receiving the order from the eldest princess, Fang Moushi.

He immediately walked out of the city gate with a dozen people and stood between the two armies.

When these dozen people stood up, the soldiers on the imperial army side immediately became excited. Some soldiers even recognized these people and immediately widened their eyes in surprise.

A court soldier pointed at the other man and shouted, "Isn't that Xiao Yang? He wasn't executed?"

"That's my fellow villager. He's still alive. That's great."

"Why are they with the rebels? Did they defect?"

Guan Pei didn't recognize them at first, but when he heard his subordinates talking, he immediately shouted, "Traitors! How dare you betray the court!"

"Do you want to die without a burial place?"

A dozen captured soldiers took a few steps back in fear under Guan Pei's intimidating majesty.

But when they thought of the good things in Plague City and the princess's generosity, the captured soldiers mustered up their courage and took a few steps forward, facing the people in the court.

At this moment, the eldest princess's reassuring and domineering words came from the city wall: "They are not traitors, and you, the people of the court, have no right to accuse them of being traitors!"

"They were your companions. After you were defeated yesterday, he escaped with them without you."

"Before you abandoned them, did you ever think about how miserable their fate would be if they were captured by the enemy?"

"You have fought side by side. Some of you may know them. Some of you may be their friends or fellow villagers."

"But the court abandoned them to die when they were injured!"

"What qualifications do you have to blame those you have abandoned?"

The eldest princess' words were so enlightening that every court soldier lowered their heads in guilt.

Yes, they are deserters!

What qualifications do they have to call others traitors?

When the dozen or so soldiers under the city wall heard that the princess understood them and was speaking for them, their eyes suddenly became warm.

The captured soldiers looked at each other and saw determination and gratitude in each other's eyes.

Before the princess came to their defense, they were taken out of the city by Advisor Fang to face their former companions. They were still feeling uneasy and guilty.

There were even a few people who couldn't adapt their mindset. On the one hand, they were grateful for the eldest princess's magnanimity, but on the other hand, they wanted to be loyal to the court!

But now, after hearing what the eldest princess said, they suddenly understood.
