In the scorching summer, the willow pavilion wind and the hundred miles of harmony wind braved the scorching sun to appease the people who did not leave in Yong'an City and the surrounding cities.

For those who live in more dangerous places, they are moved to a relatively safe place to take refuge temporarily, so as not to affect the fish in the pond when war breaks out.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

The hottest season is in the sky, and the crops in the field are also growing rapidly.

However, many people have fled their homes, and the crops in the fields are no longer tended, and if there is no one to manage them, the food will be lost greatly this season.

Liu Tingfeng immediately ordered to take part of the army to work in the fields and manage these crops.

In the army, many people are also from peasant families, so they naturally know how to manage, and they also cherish food and take care of it very carefully.

You can kill the enemy on the battlefield, and you can do farm work when you exit the battlefield, this is Liu Tingfeng's army.

Mu Qianmei used this kind of practice, at that time, not only to care for crops, but even to reclaim wasteland.

Mu Qianmei said, that is called all the people are soldiers.

In just ten days, a large amount of management work was completed, and the remaining small amount of work was handed over to the people who did not leave.

On the way back to the barracks, Baili Hefeng and Liu Tingfeng rode in the same carriage.

Although they were marching in the scorching sun, the two of them looked light and breezy, and for people like them, there was not much difference in the cold winter and hot weather.

Baili Hefeng saw that Liu Tingfeng seemed to be a little distracted, so he said with a smile:

"Who is General Liu thinking about?"

After getting along for a long time, the two are also very familiar with each other, not to mention that they not only have the experience of fighting side by side on the battlefield, but now they also lead the army together to settle the people and help the people take care of the crops, so they have become more casual when they talk.

Liu Tingfeng didn't hide it, so he replied casually:

"My senior sister once said that in a special period, the army must have the ability to be self-sufficient, when there is a war, it is a soldier, when there is no war, it is the people, if it is a protracted war, it is particularly important."

"No matter how strong a country is, it can't support the food, grass and materials that have been fighting for many years, and if it can be self-sufficient, it will not be afraid of long-lasting consumption."

Baili Hefeng immediately said respectfully:

"The idea of the king of heaven is indeed very reasonable, now the two sides have been facing each other like this, and the daily consumption is very huge, other countries are fine, they have not experienced a civil war, and they are not afraid of long-term consumption."

"However, our Xiyu country is different, the civil war has just ended, the treasury has been consumed hugely, and the people's food production has also been greatly affected, and now we have to continue to consume like this, we really can't support it for too long."

"Fortunately, thanks to the Tingxue Building established by the Heavenly King before, the business of the Treasure Hall opened by the Heavenly King is very large, and now it is almost all over the world, not only earning a large number of spirit stones, but also buying a large amount of food from other countries, so we can barely support it."

"However, as the situation develops, it is necessary to continue to follow it in the future

It will probably become more and more difficult for other countries to buy food, and after all, we still have to rely on our own people to produce it. ”

"However, now that people in many places are living a life of displacement, where can they still grow crops normally?"

"In those areas that have experienced serious wars, it is difficult to resume normal production in the short term, and if the army can farm its own land, it will indeed relieve a lot of pressure."

"The Xiyu Kingdom that the Heavenly King took over is a mess full of holes, and fortunately, she took it over, and if it was someone else, it would have been torn apart long ago, making the Xiyu Kingdom even more chaotic."

Liu Tingfeng also sighed:

"Yes, the most powerful thing about my senior sister is that she can always turn decay into magic, and she can continue to create miracles in desperate situations every time, I hope this time she can also turn the tide!"

Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

As generals, they can naturally see a lot more than ordinary people see, and it is also because the more they know, the more they will be able to understand that this Xiyu country is not a good home.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the Xiyu country has just experienced the consumption of the civil war, the treasury is empty, and the strength is also greatly reduced, and now it is surrounded by wolves, and there are demon armies outside to attack at any time, and there are other four countries inside who want to carve up the Xiyu country, which is the real internal and external troubles.

Baili and Feng said softly:

"The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the crisis in the West Rain Country is getting more and more serious."

Liu Tingfeng calmed down for a moment, and then said in a firm tone:

"As long as my sister doesn't give up, I will always have confidence in her, because she has experienced more severe situations than this."

"And with my understanding of my senior sister, in her life experience, she has never given up halfway, she is not doing it, once she does, she must succeed, no matter how many difficulties, no matter how big the predicament, she can find vitality from it, and get along with the way to crack it."

Baili and Feng asked curiously:

"The Heavenly King has ever been in a more serious situation than this?"

With his understanding of Mu Qianmei, she is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman, and her achievements today are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, before she appeared in the outer heavens, that is, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, what kind of things could she experience?

Liu Tingfeng didn't explain too much, he nodded and replied:

"Yes, she's been through a lot of things, and she's been in a worse situation than she is now."

Baili Hefeng knew that Liu Tingfeng didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask more, but changed the topic and asked:

"Did you say that the Demon Realm army would attack us?"

Liu Tingfeng thought about it for a while, and then replied analytically:

"Since Ye Wuyue has already led the army here, he will definitely continue to advance, but he just wants to wait for a better time."

Baili Kazufeng said suspiciously:

"It is said that the longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for them, and it will not be as convenient for them to supply as we are, and the longer we wait, the more our army will be, and the combat effectiveness will gradually increase, what better time can there be

？ ”

Liu Tingfeng sighed softly before replying:

"The Demon Realm has been preparing for so long, so we naturally know the situation in our Immortal Realm well."

"For them, the best news is naturally the disharmony between our five countries, the other four countries have always wanted to carve up our Xiyu country, he is waiting, when we start internal strife, it is best to have another civil strife, the first fight between the five countries, it will be easier for him to fish in troubled waters and win in chaos."

"You have also seen that the Longxiao Kingdom and the Beiyue Kingdom have always been making things difficult for us everywhere, how can they have the slightest idea of taking the overall situation into account?"

Baili and Feng asked curiously:

"Isn't there no contradiction within their demon realm? It is said that their army is actually a combination of many tribes, and in the Demon Realm, the battle between them will be even more fierce! ”

Liu Tingfeng nodded and said:

"They are indeed an alliance army, but Ye Wuyue has extremely strong control, his prestige in the demon world army is extremely high, and the army is also very strict, so no one dares to provoke internal contradictions."

"But the situation in our immortal realm is different, in the Five Nations Alliance, Long Xiao Country has a lot of seats, and it has a great say in the alliance."

"Even in the Lingyun Pavilion, there are many people from the Longxiao Kingdom, so Generalissimo Jun's control over the Immortal Realm army is extremely limited, and he can't reach Ye Wuyue's status in the Demon Realm army."

"Even because of this, Long Xiaoguo will appear so unscrupulous, and the orders of Generalissimo Jun are also disobeyed."

Baili Kazufeng said in a tone full of helplessness:

"Unconsciously, our army and the army of the Demon Realm have been facing each other for a month."

"It is said that when the two armies face each other, they always have to test each other every once in a while, but for such a long time, both sides have been holding their troops still, what is the point of such attrition?"

Liu Tingfeng thought for a moment before explaining:

"This is because the two sides of the confrontation now rely on something, we rely on the river to defend, they camp in the mountains, and send small troops to test, which is equivalent to sending death in vain, and no one is willing to make such a senseless sacrifice."

"The two generalissimos are also old rivals, they have fought to the death with each other, and they know each other very well, so there is no need to be tempted."

"Today's two armies are to compare endurance, to see who can't hold their breath first and attack first, and whoever moves first will be at a disadvantage."

"For the two generalissimos, they either don't move, and if they move, it's a big battle, it's like two clever chess players playing against each other, if they don't move, they will be thunderous, and it is best to decide the winner in a battle."

"Of course, this kind of evenly matched battle, once it breaks out, can also be a lose-lose situation, even if one of them wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory."

"Who wants a crushing victory?"

"That's too much to pay."

The two were talking along the way, and inadvertently, they had already returned to Yong'an City.

Today's Yong'an City is the base camp of a hundred miles of harmony, except in the palace

The place where the Jinluan Hall and the emperor lived was always empty, and there were people living in other places.

originally planned to wait for the situation to stabilize and welcome Mu Qianmei to officially ascend the throne as emperor, but according to the current situation, the arrival of that day has become distant again.

Baili Kazukaze did not live in the Imperial Palace, but in the City Lord's Mansion in Yong'an City.

When he led Liu Tingfeng into the City Lord's Mansion and put it, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity, this city has just regained its prosperity, and it is about to usher in the baptism of war, maybe it will soon fall into the hands of the demon army, wasting a lot of resources!"

Liu Tingfeng said with confidence:

"Don't worry, it won't be wasted, sooner or later this place will still be ours."

"If the army of the Demon Realm successfully occupies this city, for example, it will support Wu Changkong to continue to be the emperor, use Wu Changkong's identity to control the Xiyu Kingdom, and be a puppet emperor."

"Wu Changkong has long lost the support of the people, how long can an emperor who is not popular with the people last?"

"My senior sister once said, the king is like a boat, the people are like water, water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, even if Wu Changkong is the emperor again, he is just a puppet in the hands of the demon world, such an emperor is destined to not get the support of all the people, without the support of the people, his life is not."

"The world of those who win the hearts of the people, the current Xiyu country, the hearts of the people are on our side, in a critical moment, as long as the king ascends to the heights and shouts, he will definitely be able to get the response of all the people."

"The will of the people, all the people are soldiers, and the country of Xiyu will inevitably be the world of the king of heaven in the end."

Baili and the wind muttered to himself:

"It's a good sentence 'water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat', the king of heaven understands this truth, and he really sees it very clearly!"

Liu Tingfeng nodded and replied:

"Yes, my senior sister also said that the most important thing in war is the right time, place and people."

"And the most important of them is people."
