Qin Qingxue was stunned when she heard the soldier's answer.

They all raised their own food and fodder, and their army marched ahead, giving priority to buying up all the food and fodder along the way.

How did the army led by Li Ye obtain sufficient food and supplies?

Not to mention being able to eat meat!

The aroma of stewing meat can be smelled from such a distance, which means there is a lot of meat being stewed.

If it was only given to a few generals or Li Ye himself, the fragrance would definitely not spread so far.

"Li Ye is so weak, will he have enough food and money? I'm afraid he'll spend all the money before he even arrives."

Qin Qingxue was very angry.

It feels like Li Ye is simply acting recklessly and doesn't know anything about marching and fighting.

Shi Wushuang advised: "We don't need to be angry, the Sixth Prince is a businessman.

He wanted to use this method to win over all the soldiers in the army.

I guess all this meat was brought from the capital, and it won’t last for a few meals.

What's more, the weather is so hot.

If you carry too much, it will break down quickly."

"That makes sense! Li Ye's business is huge, so it's not a problem to purchase some meat in a short period of time.

But the soldiers he led were old, weak and disabled, and were completely useless.

The Emperor actually sent him here, does he really want to train him?"

Qin Qingxue also felt something was wrong.

Li Ye has never been favored by the emperor, and Qin Qingxue had a deep understanding of this when they were together before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so decisive in drawing a line between himself and Li Ye.

But now he really couldn't understand what the emperor was doing.

The 5,000-strong army consumed a considerable amount of food and fodder along the way.

He even asked Zhao Wudi to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to protect along the way.

Even after he failed in the battle, he let Li Ye take over the command of the army.

What kind of battle will Li Ye fight?

It would only cause more trouble.

It would be better to use Zhao Wudi's 10,000 elite soldiers for himself, so that they can play a greater role.

Shi Wushuang was holding a folding fan, looking like a graceful young man.

He smiled and said, "I actually think that what the emperor is doing is very beneficial to us."

"How could that be? His army could only watch the battle at first and played no role at all.

Even if we lose the battle, he will take my place."

Qin Qingxue said angrily.

Shi Wushuang smiled confidently: “But the emperor did not give you the task of protecting the Sixth Prince.

If the Annan army suddenly launched an attack, it would destroy the Sixth Prince's army and kill him.

It has nothing to do with us!

At most, Zhao Wudi failed to provide adequate protection and will bear all the consequences."

Qin Qingxue was shocked and looked at Shi Wushuang with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"you mean?"

Although Qin Qingxue hated Li Ye very much, she even hated him to the core.

But he never thought of killing Li Ye.

After all, she was a female general of the Dayuan Dynasty, and the crime of killing the prince was not light.

"Since the Sixth Prince is our enemy, this is the best opportunity to get rid of him.

As long as he is gone.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince will do their best to win us over.

No matter who inherits the throne, you will have the opportunity to become the supreme commander of the Dayuan Dynasty."

Shi Wushuang stopped pretending and told Qin Qingxue what he was thinking.

Qin Qingxue was shocked, but also felt that what Shi Wushuang said made sense.

I just couldn't make up my mind for the moment.

Shi Wushuang saw her expression and said with a smile, "Actually, we won't do anything, just let the enemy do it.

At most, we didn't have time to rescue him, and the Sixth Prince was killed by the enemy.

It has nothing to do with us!"

"That's not impossible! Li Ye is the one who insists on going against me, so there's no need for me to save him."

"You are right to think so! A prince has great hostility towards us.

If we don't get rid of him, we will be killed by him sooner or later."

Qin Qingxue nodded and agreed to Shi Wushuang's plan.

Shi Wushuang was very happy.

By utilizing the influence of the disciples of Yunlu Pavilion in Annan Kingdom, all he needed to do was provide the detailed location of Li Ye's station.

Let the enemy send troops to attack.

They just watched the fire from the other side of the river without sending any troops to rescue.

It can definitely kill Li Ye.

Although the Annan army's combat effectiveness was not strong, with its numerical advantage, it was not difficult to deal with 10,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 old and weak soldiers.

Qin Qingxue and Shi Wushuang had no idea that the soldiers in the army were already extremely dissatisfied.

Since the army was not successful in preparing food and fodder, they not only had to march quickly every day, but they could only eat half full.

If there is really no other way, just forget it.

But when I smelled the aroma of the army's stew behind me, I suddenly felt unbalanced.

They can't even get enough food to eat, but others can eat meat.

The gap is huge.

A soldier looked at the coarse grains in the bowl and found it difficult to swallow.

He angrily said: "Is this food edible? It's ok that we can't eat meat during the march and battle, but they actually give us coarse grains.

I'm afraid we'll all starve to death before we even reach the south."

"Yeah, we are the main force, but we eat less than the reserve troops behind us.

How could there be a war like this in the world?"

An old soldier who was well-informed said to the crowd, "You don't know that the army behind us is led by the Sixth Prince.

The food for the troops he led in battle was always very good. They ate meat at every meal, and there was no limit on the amount of rice. They could eat as much as they wanted.

"The Sixth Prince leading the troops? Isn't he said to be incompetent in battle? The last time we were able to capture Vulture Mountain, it was all thanks to bribery."

The old soldier looked at me with disdain and said coldly, "You know shit! We go on expeditions to fight. Whether we can come back alive or not is just a matter of time.

Who cares if the general can lead the troops? The most important thing is to eat more while you are alive."

"That's right! His Highness the Sixth Prince may not be good at leading troops in battle, but he is really kind to his soldiers.

Those were old, weak and disabled soldiers, and they could eat full meals every day, and they were all fine grains.

It’s countless times more powerful than us.”

"If I had to choose, I would follow the Sixth Prince! As long as I can eat meat every day, I wouldn't mind dying on the battlefield."

On the first day they just complained, but by the second day they were completely broken down.

Because the carriage was traveling fast.

Actually, they have caught up with the army in front.

Everyone was surprised to find that the troops led by Li Ye were all sitting in carriages.

Only when I get tired of sitting will I get out of the car and run for a while.

The 10,000 elite soldiers led by Zhao Wudi were all cavalry.

In comparison, their main army was in a terrible state.

Those who really want to fight do so on foot.

The reserve troops either rode on horseback or in carriages.

The treatment is totally different.

If there was no army led by Li Ye, most of the marching and fighting would be done by infantry, and there would be no problem in traveling on foot.

After all, the cost of raising war horses is very high, and only elite cavalry can use them.

However, the sight of the two armies marching together made the soldiers of the main army feel extremely unbalanced.

Some people even started complaining loudly.

It is really unacceptable that we have to walk without having enough food to eat.
