All nations are at war, beacon fires cover the hills and mountains; corpses pile up and the grass smells foul, blood flows at Zhulong Pass.

Di Rong was stationed at Zhulong Pass.

The best defensive place south of Zhulong Pass is called Jishui.

There is a long river to the north of Jishui.

The Dirong army was a nation on horseback and not very good at swimming.

Qin Yuhuai led his troops to station at Jishui.

But he knew in his heart that as long as Jiang Yanshan, the military advisor, was there, Ji Shui would not be able to hold on for long.

As a former deputy general of the Qin Dynasty, Jiang Yanshan had a very accurate grasp of the Qin Dynasty's terrain, even its army and its customary phalanxes.

In order to save his own life, this traitor will definitely tell Chief Dirong everything.

It never rains but it pours.

The military rations allocated to Qin Yuhuai by the Qin Dynasty emperor were not enough to sustain the soldiers for a month!

The dog emperor did this on purpose in order to leave extra food and grass for his army to protect his own safety!

The army led by Qin Yuhuai was only used to delay Di Rong for a period of time.

Military rations are very important, and Qin Yuhuai sent his confidants to count them along the way.

It’s just that the dog emperor deliberately covered it up. Not only did he place his own people there, he also mixed fine sand and stale grain among the food and fodder to make it difficult for people to detect.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Several deputy generals sat in Qin Yuhuai's tent to discuss.

They were all promoted by Qin Yuhuai.

Like Qin Yuhuai, he has the ambition to restore the Qin Dynasty.

"We've run out of food and fodder. What are we going to do?"

"Ji Shui...can't lose again!"

"Did you see that? The Dirong Tartars hung the heads of our Qin Dynasty men on city walls, on horses, and even used them as Cuju balls..."

"Rude barbarian!"

"If such a despicable person were allowed to rule the world, it would bring even greater suffering to the people!"

Di Rong was even more cruel. He treated human life as worthless and women as objects.

Although the dog emperor of the Qin Dynasty also ignored the people, he at least followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and would not do anything too excessive on the surface.

"My fellow soldiers, I understand how you feel."

"but."

"The Qin Dynasty has few available men. You and I should not make meaningless sacrifices."

"First of all, the news of insufficient food and fodder must not be known to the soldiers;"

"Secondly, find a way to burn Di Rong's food supplies to boost morale."

Qin Yuhuai is worthy of being the chosen one who has been dormant for so many years.

Come up with a countermeasure instantly.

With him in charge, the soldiers can rest assured.

After they left, Zhu Xianyue came out of the tent.

"Yue'er, am I awesome?"

Even at this time, Qin Yuhuai was still chatting and laughing with Zhu Xianyue.

Make her happy.

Zhu Xianyue nodded and said, "Very impressive."

Qin Yuhuai wasn't too happy, he just said, "I'll take you away tonight. I bought a house in Yinan and arranged for servants to guard it."

"You go there with the deed, and it will keep you safe for the rest of your life."

This time, Qin Yuhuai did not have any joking tone in his voice.

Zhu Xianyue agreed.

Then go pack up.

Give Qin Yuhuai the illusion that... she is very obedient.

But at night, the soldier Qin Yuhuai sent to escort Zhu Xianyue came back in a panic and said:

"I am guilty. I failed to keep an eye on Miss Zhu, allowing her to stab me unconscious with a silver needle and then escape!"

“…”

"What are you eating?"

Qin Yuhuai rode on his horse with complicated thoughts in his mind.

He really wanted to find Zhu Xianyue, but...

He was the commander-in-chief, the ninth prince of the Qin Dynasty, and the backbone of the soldiers.

On the way to Jishui, Qin Yuhuai had already told Zhu Xianyue his identity.
