"We agreed on one horse for two hundred and fifty kilograms of grain. How could he go back on his word like that?"
"Twenty-five thousand war horses, and not a single grain of food for us. How could they be so unjust?"
“How is this different from fraud?”
"The Tan family army is shameless, so shameless."
…
Wu Wei shouted, his veins throbbing. "Gather all the soldiers and attack Pengshui City."
"Don't."
A soldier quickly stood up and said, "The eighteen princes will engage in a battle with the Tan family army tomorrow. There is no need for us to send troops."
Wu Wei glared and asked, "If we don't send troops, what will happen to the 25,000 war horses?"
Another soldier stepped forward and said, "The Tan family army wanted to exchange 5,000 war horses for He Tao, and in anger they seized all the war horses."
"Their reasoning was that since He Tao had already surrendered to the Tan family army, he was already a member of the Tan family army."
"We tried to harm the generals of the Tan family army, which caused their dissatisfaction. As a result, we gained nothing and gained nothing in return."
"Daliang Kingdom has conducted trade with the Tan family army twice and received sufficient water and food each time."
"And can we, on an empty stomach, defeat the Tan family army..."
The guy's meaning was very clear. At that time, everyone was against exchanging the warhorse for He Tao, but Wu Wei was the only one who refused to listen and insisted on doing so.
As a result, 25,000 war horses were lost in vain, and nothing was gained.
In short, it's all Uwe's fault. It was his improper command and his willful behavior that led to this disastrous consequence.
Wu Wei could naturally hear the hidden meaning in his words, and said with an increasingly gloomy expression:
"Are you questioning my decision?"
The man clasped his fists and bowed, "I dare not."
"Humph." Uwe snorted coldly.
"Without me, you would have starved to death. Do you have the right to question me?"
The generals rolled their eyes when they heard this.
You are wrong and you don’t admit it. What kind of joke is this?
Wu Wei continued, "If it weren't for the cunning of the Tan family army, it wouldn't have come to this!"
Military Advisor Tulu stepped forward and said:
"We have been fighting the Tan family army for a long time, and there is a lot of resentment between the two sides. Even if we don't exchange the warhorse for He Tao, we won't be able to get food."
"But sending troops to attack Pengshui City at this time is indeed unwise."
Wu Wei's face turned grim. "Is that the end of it?"
"Tomorrow, the eighteen vassal states will march upon the city. When they engage the Tan family army, both sides will suffer heavy casualties."
"Then we can sneak in and steal the bodies of the fallen soldiers."
"With a corpse, I won't... I won't starve!"
"When our soldiers have recovered their strength, whether we fight the Tan family army or the major princes, it will be better than sending troops to attack Pengshui City now."
"The military advisor is absolutely right. We must not act impulsively."
"Sending troops to Pengshui City is undoubtedly seeking death."
"For now, we should hold our ground and wait for the opportunity."
The soldiers were afraid that Wu Wei was making trouble, and they all spoke out in support of the military advisor's suggestion.
"hateful!"
The anger in Uwe's eyes had almost materialized.
"My dignified Barbarian Army has been reduced to the point where we have to steal corpses from the battlefield to survive. It's so sad, so tragic."
"Ahem."
Tulu coughed dryly, "It's good enough to get a corpse and not starve to death."
"Yes, otherwise, after we invade the Holy Dragon Kingdom, wouldn't we also plan to eat people?"
"There's not much food in Shenglong. If they don't eat humans, what will we eat?"
Wu Wei listened to everyone's discussion and his face turned red.
After a moment, he said, "Spread the word. No matter if it's the Tan family army or the various lords, we will help whoever gives us food to fight."
One of the guys heard this and said, "What if both sides give us food?"
Wu Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "It depends on who I'm helping."
The guy who had just spoken continued, "What if neither side gives us food?"
“I won’t give you anything…”
Wu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Ask the military advisor."
Tulu stepped forward and said, "The eighteen princes want to attack Pengshui City, and their first stop is Pengshi City."
"They must capture Pengshi City before they can attack Pengshui City."
"By then, the main force of Pengshui City will go to Pengshi City to assist in the battle."
"At that time..."
Tulu's face turned grim, "Our chance has come."
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful."
"All the Tan family troops should go to deal with the eighteen princes. We can take advantage of their weakness and make an inroad."
"After entering the city, they robbed food and people."
"We can also just live in Pengshui City and cut off the retreat of the Tan family army."
"That way, wouldn't that be revenge?"
…
Tan Junyan soon received the news that they would help whoever provided food to the barbarian army.
Fan Yin frowned and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the Barbarian Army is quite powerful and numerous. If they are pulled over by the Eighteen Princes, it will be very disadvantageous to us."
"That's true." Tan Junyan nodded slightly.
"But Wu Wei isn't a man of his word. I'm worried that even if I give them food and supplies, they might not necessarily send troops to help us."
"Why not ask the gods?"
"Yes, tell the gods about Uwe's character and the possible situations that may arise, and see what the gods will decide."
"That's exactly what I meant."
Tan Junyan took out paper and pen and started writing a letter to Wang Yan.
