Chapter 450: Drag Them to Death
"General Wang, the Hubei army is defending the riverbank. Should we land somewhere else?"
The commander-in-chief of Zhao Wang's army's attack on northern Hubei was not Zhao Wang, but a general named Wang.
Upon hearing this, General Wang turned around a few times before speaking, "Before we set out, His Majesty said that the Hubei Army was short of food, fodder, and medicine. It was also just after New Year's Eve, when people were at their lowest alert. Logically, it should have been easy to capture. But now that something unexpected has happened, I don't think we can easily change our battle plan."
What if the Hubei North Army is just holding on? Maybe they can capture this position with another attack and land the entire army in Hubei North.
"But General, we have suffered a lot of casualties this time, and most of them are seriously injured. If the estimate is wrong, I am afraid..."
King Zhao's army is not a mob. The generals in the army are smart and care about their soldiers. After hearing what General Wang said, they naturally don't want to take risks.
General Wang was also aware of this, so after considering it, he said, "Hold the troops still for now. I will send someone back to seek the prince's advice."
King Zhao knew very well that the army in northern Hubei was difficult to deal with, and the general he sent was a very cautious man. Faced with such a dilemma, he would not attack rashly.
Everyone in the room looked at each other after hearing this. Some wanted to object, but they didn't want to be the first to do so. If the fight happened again with the same result, or even worse, who would be held responsible?
At the same time, on the Hubei Northern Army side, many soldiers were discussing the well in the newly built stone house.
"Do you know where that well came from? How did it suddenly appear?"
"Who knows? But last time our food was burned, wasn't it suddenly replenished? Maybe the people from Xuanji Mountain are helping us again."
"But who in our army is from Xuanji Mountain?"
When everyone was discussing, an old soldier suddenly said, "I don't know about the others, but there is one person who is definitely from Xuanji Mountain."
"Who is it?"
The old soldier was silent for a moment, "The former crown prince, he has been a disciple of Xuanji Mountain since he was a child."
"But isn't he already dead?"
"Yes, the Emperor announced to the world that the late Crown Prince had a severe illness in his womb and died before he could be treated."
"Even if the former prince is still alive, he can't be here with us."
“That’s right.”
A group of people continued to discuss, some guessing what was going on, some guessing which general in the army looked like he came from Xuanji Mountain, but no one guessed Sheng Ze and Ling Yun.
That afternoon, Shen Jun brought his men to deliver the prepared medicinal materials. After hurriedly speaking a few words to Shen Qingqian, he went back.
"Sixth sister, don't worry about the family. We will take care of it. Also, the vegetables in the fields have been taken by Yunzhongxian Restaurant. The price is 10% higher than what you set before."
Shen Jun's words made Shen Qingqian feel better. Thinking that she would make money soon, she was so happy that she used the regenerating ointment given by the system on several seriously injured patients.
These were all in the medicine box, but she hadn't had the chance to use them before, and there weren't many of them. She didn't usually pay attention to resetting them, so there wasn't much left in stock now.
Shen Qingqian learned her lesson and now starts to reset the medicines in the medicine box every day. As long as the usage rate is lower than the reset rate, one day she will have a batch of special-effect medicines in her hands.
Three days later, King Zhao sent someone to Lanjiang to deliver the news.
"General Wang, what does the prince say?"
Everyone looked at the paper in General Wang's hand nervously, holding their breath.
General Wang took a deep breath and said, "Continue the attack!"
What he didn't mention was that King Zhao had clearly stated in the letter: We must drag them to death!
