Chapter 341 Food is more expensive than money
However, the main general is the main general, and the person who throws away his armor and runs faster than others.
When they fled to a safe place, they looked back at the camp they had stationed in. It was already a dazzling sea of fire.
The Lord General looked at the fire that soared into the sky, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"Master General, do you want to kill him again?"
The deputy general beside him asked at the main general in a speech of Fanbang dialect.
"No, our mission is completed, there is no need to make fearless sacrifices."
The main general responded in a cold voice.
"But, our agreement with the King of Yan has not yet..."
The deputy general was hesitant, but the words he said were interrupted by the main general: "What is the King of Yan but King of Yan? We have already obtained what we should have."
"Why should I sacrifice my tribe's lives to make wedding dresses for others?"
"Tell our soldiers, withdraw their troops and go home."
The Lord General looked back at the camp where he was still in the moment before him, turned around and left without mercy.
Their foreign countries are nomadic peoples.
Therefore, the lack of food has always been their pain point.
If it weren't for Song Richeng's promise to give them food to help them overcome the difficulties.
How could he agree to Song Richeng's feint attack on Wuchang City?
Of course, because of Song Richeng's internal cooperation and external cooperation, they seized food from the people of Wuchang after they captured Wuchang City.
With the food and grass that Song Richeng cashed in to them, this year's food is enough for them to have a year of full food and clothing.
Since he had already obtained what he wanted, whether he could obtain the troops from Wuchang City from King Yan as Song Richeng said was not within his consideration.
On the other hand, he and the so-called Prince Yan had this kind of friendship.
He really looked down on a prince who betrayed the people of his country and sought power to usurp the throne.
"These people from the Central Plains do everything they can for their rights."
The deputy general glanced at the camp where fireworks were sneering, then took his tribe members and left with the chief general.
However, he still felt a little distressed, the brothers of the tribe who died in vain.
However, when he thought of the food they received from the Ming Dynasty, his uneasy heart seemed to have received some comfort.
The soldiers and generals who left the country ignored the raging sea of fire.
The soldiers who were still wandering in the camps of Fanbian, looked at the soldiers who were leaving without hesitation and immediately sent people back to the city to report to Zhu Quan.
"Go away from the camp and flee?"
When Zhu Quan heard the news, his first reaction was to have fraud.
However, as the military newspapers in front came and after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Quan still put on his own armor and arrived at the Fanbian camp after his personal guards escorted him.
Looking at the camp where the fire surged, Zhu Quan's eyes sank.
With such a fierce fire, it seems that the foreign thieves will not come back.
However, are some of these foreign countries so easily broken up?
Obviously, these people have no intention of fighting at all.
But if they had no idea, how could Lan Yu suffer such a big loss, or even almost lose his life?
What is the purpose of these foreign countries?
Zhu Quan sat on the horse and stood there, waiting until the fire weakened, and then summoned his soldiers to fetch water nearby to extinguish the fire.
Zhu Quan dismounted and looked at the ruins burned out by the fire, frowned: "Go, search the main account to see if there are any remaining clues."
He always felt that this was extremely strange.
People from foreign countries who have always been plundering some money from border cities occasionally, but they are still making small fuss.
He always felt something was wrong when he mobilized a large number of troops to occupy Wuchang City and fled without fighting.
Could it be that I am really anxious to jump over the wall and have this bad idea when I am hungry?
Zhu Quan quickly denied his idea.
If the thieves from foreign countries really came just for money, then they should leave directly after plundering Wuchang City.
Instead of repeatedly provoking Lan Yu after he grabbed Wuchang, he even used poisonous smoke to poison Lan Yu, resulting in the leaderless dragons in Wuchang City.
Moreover, during Lan Yu's coma, these foreign soldiers had no intention of attacking Wuchang City again.
But repeated provocations.
These actions are incredible.
Zhu Quan always felt that he had thought through something, but he was a little bit short of it and could not point out this layer of window paper.
"Prince, the main business tent has been burned out and no useful clues are left."
"But in other tents, some food and grass were found."
Soon a soldier who had finished searching came to report.
"These dogs, they are probably taking away all the food and grass they snatched from my Wuchang City."
The deputy general around the King of Chu was originally Song Richeng, but he had been beheaded for the crime of colluding with the enemy and treason. Now the newly promoted deputy general is Qianhu, the former King of Chu, named Wang He.
Zhu Quan glanced at Wang He, then looked at the food and grass presented by the soldiers: "How much left is there?"
"Only some of them are involved, and they are only half a bag of them."
The soldier answered truthfully.
"Forget it, throw it here."
When Zhu Quan heard the soldiers' answer, he felt that it was not worth wasting his troops to collect half a bag of food and grass in various places in the camp. He waved his hand: "Get out the troops and go back to the city."
"Your Majesty, no, this is the food and supplies of the people of Wuchang."
"Even if there is only one handful, we will bring it back to Wuchang City and give the people an explanation."
Wang He was originally a farmer, and he was not as worried about food and clothing as a royal prince like Zhu Quan.
I have learned that food is precious since I was a child.
Therefore, even if it is just half a bag, he cannot tolerate waste.
Besides, the grain in Wuchang City is more expensive than money, and it is difficult to buy a life-saving food if you have money.
Zhu Quan glanced at Wang He and was silent for a moment without saying anything.
After looking around the soldiers around him, Zhu Quan felt a little uncomfortable.
Wang He's words were a blow to him. In his eyes, this half bag of food and grass might be insignificant.
However, for the people of Wuchang who survived the disaster, this half bag of food and grass is a life-saving existence.
Now that Wuchang City has been plundered by foreign countries, it can be said that it is a shortage of food and grass.
Now that the food and grass in the imperial city have not been delivered, this half bag of food and grass may not be anything to me.
But what about the people of Wuchang.
Not only the people in Wuchang, but even these soldiers were tight-fitting and even out their food to save the people's hunger.
A feeling of guilt arose, Zhu Quan realized for the first time that he had always been thinking about things from his own position.
But I have never been thinking about it in the position of the people.
"It's...I've neglected."
Since Zhu Quan realized his mistake, he had the courage to admit it.
