Lou Yi abandoned his country and fled!
Those supplies were not meant to comfort the soldiers on the front line!
It was obvious that Lou Yi regarded that as the capital for a comeback!
"We overestimated Lou Yi!"
Jia Yao smiled bitterly.
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be exact, we were deceived by Lou Yi again!"
Jia Yao was speechless, then smiled bitterly and nodded.
"ah?"
Qin Qihu was puzzled, "How did we get cheated?"
"The reason why the northern line attacked is not to play the tactic of exchanging homes with us!" Yun Zheng smiled bitterly, "Lou Yi deliberately concealed the news that the southern line was breached and let the northern line take the initiative to attack, just to deceive us and make us think that he has not given up Dayue Kingdom and will persist to the end!"
...
...
"Yes."
Jia Yao smiled bitterly: "In fact, Lou Yi is buying time to escape successfully! When the southern line was breached, Lou Yi must have known that the defeat was inevitable, and began to plan to abandon the country and escape..."
If they attacked after taking down the turtle's back, Lou Yi might have a chance to escape, but he would never be able to escape so easily and carry a lot of supplies with him.
She thought Lou Yi was the same person as her, who would do anything for his country.
If your country is destined to be destroyed, you will be buried with it.
However, she only now realized that she had overestimated Lou Yi.
From the beginning to the end, Lou Yi never thought about living and dying together with Dayue!
Qin Qihu was furious when he heard this: "Then... where can this bastard run to? Should we send troops to chase him? I want to twist off that bastard's head to avenge my brothers in the Blood Clothes Army!"
"Use your brain!"
Miaoyin glanced at Qin Qihu and said, "In this situation, where can Lou Yi run to?"
ah?
Qin Qihu thought secretly.
Where else can Lou Yi run?
Running to the south is seeking death.
If he runs to Guifang, will Guifang dare to take in Lou Yi?
He ran to the tribes west of the desert. He cheated them so much that it would be a relief if the people of the tribes west of the desert didn't chop him into minced meat!
This birdman has nowhere to go!
He can't just run away...
As he was thinking, Qin Qihu was suddenly stunned and asked tentatively: "Northern Barbarians?"
"He has no choice but to go to the territory of the northern barbarians!"
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "This bastard tricked the northern line into launching an all-out attack, most likely to attract the attention of Yu Shizhong and his men, so that he could escape to the northern barbarian territory with his men and treasures."
Qin Qihu was stunned after listening to Yun Zheng's words.
This bastard Lou Yi really did everything he could to escape!
Qin Qihu cursed Lou Yi in his heart, smacked his lips and asked, "Brother, is this what you mean by "I'd rather die than let my friend die?"
"right!"
Yun Zheng nodded, "This move made Lou Yi understand..."
You bastard, don’t call me Lou Yi anymore!
Just ask Lou to run away!
"So what do we do now?"
Qin Qihu asked unwillingly, "Are you just going to watch this birdman run away?"
"I don't have the energy to care about him now."
Yun Zheng said seriously: "The important thing is to quickly deal with the enemy troops on the northern front!"
Lou Yi has been running for so many days. Even if they guessed that Lou Yi was going to escape in the direction of the northern barbarians, they couldn't catch up with him!
By the time they chased after him, Lou Yi might have already led his men to escape into the territory of the northern barbarians.
Lou Yi can escape, but the enemy forces on the northern front must be eliminated!
As soon as he thought of this, Yun Zheng immediately ordered: "Heasu, immediately find out how much food and grass there is in Somai City!"
"yes!"
"Order Fu Tianyan to speed up the delivery of grain and grass immediately!"
"yes!"
"Jia Yao, use the white falcon to deliver a message to Yu Shizhong immediately and inform him of our judgment! If possible, send troops to intercept Lou Yi!"
"yes!"
"Qin Qihu, Lu Xing, tomorrow morning, you will lead the Blood Clothes Army to raid the enemy's rear. Remember, we only need to let the enemy know that we have arrived behind them. Don't fight to the death!"
One order after another came out of Yun Zheng's mouth.
The crowd, who were originally delighted at the easy capture of Somai City, immediately became serious.
"Since the enemy troops on the northern front don't know about the defeat on the southern front, can we all put on the armor of the soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom? And give them a surprise attack?"
At this time, Miaoyin asked on a whim.
"Don't!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and refused. "First of all, we don't have so much time to run back to Turtle Back City to change armor! Secondly, there are soldiers from Dayue Kingdom here. Once soldiers wearing the same armor fight together, it will be too easy to get confused. We might even dig a hole to bury ourselves..."
Miaoyin thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right!"
Soon, Heasu found out the food and fodder situation in the city.
There is still some food and grass in Somai City, but based on their number, it can only be enough for them to eat for about five days at most.
Five days!
Yun Zheng was silently calculating in his mind.
They were all cavalry, and the enemy had not yet broken through the defense line of Yu Shizhong's troops.
Five days is enough to annihilate the enemy!
It doesn’t even take five days!
By the time the enemy knows they are behind them, their morale will begin to collapse.
attack!
We must attack as soon as possible!
This bastard Lou Yi left behind a mess.
Quickly destroy the enemy forces on the northern front and start cleaning up the mess!
Damn it!
This time, I was really screwed by Lou Yi.
After conquering Dayue, they gained basically nothing except the land and a large number of people who were about to starve to death.
At most, they could collect some gold and silver from the powerful people in Dayue Kingdom who did not have time to escape.
But now, food is the foundation!
"You're almost victorious, why don't you seem happy?"
Miaoyin came close to Yun Zheng and asked with a smile.
"I really can't be happy."
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "We were really screwed by Lou Yi this time..."
"Not really?"
Miaoyin chuckled, "Isn't it just that Lou Yi escaped with some supplies? It's not as serious as you say, right?"
"How can it not be serious?"
Yun Zheng rubbed his head. "Right now, the entire Dayue Kingdom is short of food! Along the way, we have seen a lot of land abandoned due to the war! Even if we make it to the autumn harvest, Dayue Kingdom will still be extremely short of food..."
“That’s… true!”
The smile on Miaoyin's face gradually disappeared, and she frowned and said, "In other words, Dayue Country will soon be full of starving people. Even if we send food to provide disaster relief, it will be a drop in the bucket?"
“That’s about right!”
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "It is almost inevitable that people in Dayue will starve to death on a large scale! Once this happens, there will definitely be constant riots! Soon, the weather will get hot, and by then, there will be corpses everywhere, and there is a high possibility of an epidemic..."
Dayue used military force for two consecutive years, and both times the forces exceeded what Dayue could bear.
Due to continuous grain collection, the entire country was in extreme food shortage.
The Dayue Kingdom is even worse than Qiuchi back then!
Even if we ask the third brother for food support, it probably won’t be enough to fill Dayue’s hole.
Moreover, the Northwest Protectorate still needs food support from them until the autumn harvest.
It is almost inevitable that people will starve to death on a large scale in Dayue Kingdom.
Miaoyin was speechless, then smiled bitterly, "Sometimes, it's not a good idea to look too far ahead!"
According to Yun Zheng, this mess is indeed difficult to clean up!
No wonder Yun Zheng asks about Lou Yi’s ancestors all day long!
"I hope we can have a few years of peace after this battle!"
Yun Zheng sighed: "As long as we can live in peace for three years, I can wear down all the tribes in Moxi!"
"This should be okay, right?" Miaoyin thought, "The tribes in Moxi were tricked by Lou Yi, and coupled with the losses last year, they also suffered heavy losses! They also need time to lick their wounds."
"I hope so!"
Yun Zheng let out a breath and started thinking again.
Who should govern the Dayue Kingdom which is on the verge of collapse?
Or should we support an agent first, and then take over after more than half of the people in Dayue Country have died?
This is really a headache!
well!
I don’t know if that old guy can understand the signals I’m giving him.
The old man’s literary skills are indeed amazing.
If that old guy came, he should be able to give me some useful advice, right?
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, then shook his head.
never mind!
Don’t think about this for now!
The most important thing right now is to destroy the enemy forces on the northern front first and end this war once and for all!
