"Emperor Xinhan, what I said is the truth, there is no half-truth. ”

"Since you are telling the truth, then I ask you, usually you usually bring three to five thousand people to call the formation, why did you bring so many people to call the formation today? Don't tell me that this is the special treatment that your eldest brother gave you, I don't believe this. ”

"Well, it's because our grain and grass are about to be untenable! The country can't supply us with grain and grass for the time being, and even the grain and grass that Emperor Murong Bo promised us has been delayed again and again, so the eldest brother said that we must take this city today, otherwise the supply of grain and grass for the army tomorrow will be a problem. ”

"So you're short of food and grass now?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Alright, take him down, take him well, maybe he can bring me an unexpected surprise. ”

"Zilong, Bai Qi, what do you think we should do now?" asked Liu Fei to the two generalissimos beside him.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that now is a good time for us to wipe out the army of Qi in one fell swoop, they have no food and grass, no supply of soldiers, if this news is known to their soldiers, it will definitely cause turmoil in the hearts of the army, and when the time comes, it will be easy for us to take them down in one fell swoop. Bai Qi replied after thinking about it.

"Yes, the army of Qi lacks food and grass, and it is too far away from Qi country, so there is no chance and no reserve strength, it is a good time to destroy them, but this is not a great opportunity for our army. I also want to take down the hundreds of thousands of them in one fell swoop, but what about the hundreds of thousands we take here, the other 800,000? What are we going to do with them? ”

"Your Majesty refers to the armies of the Yan State and the Shen State that besieged our Bingzhou and Xuzhou?"

"Yes, we now have wolves in front of us and tigers in front of us, and one step without rest will put us in a desperate situation. ”

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Bai Qi kicked Liu Fei's question back to him, it seems that this ball can only be picked up by himself, and he can't kick it out, it would be great if there was a military advisor to help, what Wolong, phoenix chicks, unicorns, ghosts, come and help me, why worry about the big thing, and I won't be so sad.

"Wait a minute, I want to see how Wei Yang, the general of the Qi State, reacts after losing his own brother and 250,000 troops. ”

The army camp of the Qi State Army, the general Wei Yang is angry and throwing things, 250,000, a full half of the army, just disappeared without a trace, which makes him how to go back and explain, how to explain to the Emperor of Qi, how to explain to his father, if this is not handled well, not only will his position as a general be lost, but even his life will be worried. It is also possible to implicate his father, giving those who oppose his family a reason to impeach his father.

"Report, General, we have searched the entire valley, and there is no development of General Wei and the rest of the army. A soldier ran in to report to Wei Yang.

"What, I searched the whole valley and didn't find it? What about the corpses? Even if the whole army is wiped out, there will always be corpses, right?"

"No, not even a single body has been found. ”

"What? There is not a single corpse, could it be that they flew into the sky? What are you all doing to eat? An army of hundreds of thousands of people, you told me that not even a single corpse has been found, do you believe it? Look, look for me again, look farther, if you can't find them, you don't have to come back, this general wants to see people alive and corpses when he dies. Go, go. ”

The whole valley was cleaned up by Zhao Yun and Bai Qi, they were able to find the corpse is strange, Liu Fei once told the generals, no matter who, after the war to clean up the battlefield, whether it is a local soldier, or their own soldiers, they must be cremated, at that time the generals did not understand Liu Fei let everyone do this thing, Liu Fei told the generals, no matter when, let the corpse be exposed to the sun, it is most likely to lead to the generation and spread of the plague, as soon as I heard that exposure to the corpse can produce the plague, the generals hurriedly replied that all the generals who lead the army, not afraid of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, not afraid of the flood whirlwind, they are afraid of the plague, when the plague is epidemicNo matter who it is, if you are contaminated by it, you can only wait for death.

"Big brother, none of the cavalry sent out have returned, and even the 150,000 horses with Wei Mi have disappeared without a trace, do you say this is a conspiracy of the Xin Han Kingdom or a trick played by their Wei family?"

"I think it should be the army led by Wei Mi who fell into the trap of the army of the Xin Han Kingdom, otherwise it is impossible to say that none of them ran back. ”

"Haha, big brother, retribution, their Wei family wants to dominate the government, and with the position of prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, it is not enough to be satisfied, and they set their sights on your position as a general, and under Wei Kang's strong recommendation and persuasion, the emperor handed over the position of general to Wei Yang. It's okay now, the first time he became a general, he lost 250,000 troops, I see how he goes back and explains. ”

"Second brother, do you think there is a gap between our Qi Kingdom and the Xin Han Kingdom?"

"The Xinhan Kingdom is rich in things and people, otherwise the emperor would not follow Wei Kang's advice to attack Xinhan, and the worship of Liu Fei by the subjects of Xinhan is probably not something that any country can achieve. ”

"Then do you know the reason for this situation? It is because there is no difference between the nobles and the untouchables in the Xinhan Kingdom, everyone is equal before the law, unlike our Qi country, the nobles of the family have privileges, and everyone in the family is like holding a gold medal for avoiding death, which makes the aristocratic families richer and richer, and the poor people are getting poorer and poorer, and many people are willing to leave their hometowns and leave here, which leads to the fact that the taxes of our Qi country are always unable to collect. The Xinhan Kingdom is different, I heard the businessmen who went to the Xinhan Kingdom to do business come back and said that the taxes of the Xinhan Kingdom do not need to be collected at all. ”

"What, no one needs to collect it? Could it be that those untouchables with the lowest price will take the initiative to send it?"

"Second brother, it's not right for you to think like this, we are the same as those ordinary people, but our birth is a little better, otherwise they will not be regarded as inferior. The taxation of Xinhan Kingdom was indeed paid by the people on their own initiative, and no one ever needed to forcibly collect it. Moreover, each household pays only more taxes, and no one is short of two pounds. ”

"No, I've seen that the officials who levy taxes are to be forcibly snatched from the hands of those untouchables and ordinary people, even if they are handed in on their own, either they are shoddy, or they are short of catties. Are the people of Xinhan stupid? After handing over their rations, do they still have anything to eat?" Originally, he wanted to continue to say the word untouchable, but when his eldest brother glared at him, he hurriedly changed his words to the people.
