Chen Qingzhi took the order to retreat quickly.

In the next few days, the food and grass of the Tang army became more and more scarce. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, each battalion provided food and grass to those elite soldiers and strong generals, while reducing the supply of ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers could not withstand the hunger, and they fled and surrendered to Qi State.

In the end, under the suggestion of Changsun Wuji, Tang Jun could only kill horses to satisfy his hunger.

There are few horses in the south, and a horse is worth hundreds of gold. Facing a huge population base, no matter how many war horses there are, they are not enough for them to consume.

After the food is exhausted and the horses are eaten up, what will they eat next?

In the camp of the Wuyue Allied Forces, Zhuge Jin and Fang Tianding sat and looked at each other, their faces full of sorrow.

Up to now, they are very strange, why Li Jiancheng is still struggling here, why not surrender?

When the war broke out, at first they thought Li Shimin was extremely wise, so they supported him.But as time went by, especially after Li Shimin shot and killed his family members, the situation gradually became more and more out of hand.

The situation of the Tang army is not bad. They still have some grain in storage. Once they have a plan, they can use the grain to save their energy and escape.

But they are different.

They have more soldiers and less food, and their family background is too shallow.The long-term defense without fighting has made them sit and eat, and now they have completely bottomed out.

Even a coach like Zhuge Jin Fang Tianding can only live on gruel now.

Even so, the soldiers below can be imagined.

At first, some fish and shrimp could be found in the surrounding mud to satisfy their hunger.But as more and more people join in fishing, fish and shrimp species are completely extinct.

Soldiers can only rely on drinking water to satisfy their hunger and barely survive.

"Ziyu, keep going, you and I have no good fruit to eat. Why don't you persuade Li Shimin to surrender!"

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not that you haven't seen the previous situation. Those who dared to say surrender in front of him were all cut off by him directly. If we bring up this matter at this time, I'm afraid the end will not be much better go."

"If you continue like this, you and I will starve to death!"

Just as he was talking, Zhu Ran walked in quickly, angrily moved to the next seat, his face full of anger.

"What's the situation, did Tang Jun give us some food and grass?"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Ran cursed loudly: "They kicked me out before I spoke. I inquired privately, and they are almost out of food."

Without the gift, Zhuge Jin had no way out. When he had no choice but to do so, a soldier quickly walked in and said respectfully: "Commander, there is a gentleman named Cai Jing outside the camp asking to see you."

"Cai Jing?" The two looked at each other, puzzled.

Cai Jing has been white since entering the camp, and it seems that everyone has forgotten his existence.

The once glorious pillar of the court had no choice but to rely on his old buddy Qin Hui.

Qin Hui is also precarious now, but for his old comrades-in-arms, he is not stingy at all, and they support each other, and they have a place to live.

Today, the Tang army is running out of food and the morale of the army is unstable.Qin Hui and Cai Jing came out of the mountain again, intending to make waves.

"Please come in."

Not long after, Cai Jing walked into the camp, saluted them respectfully, and said, "I just entered the camp, and I saw that many soldiers of your army were pale and emaciated. I'm afraid they have run out of food!"

Zhuge Jin sneered and said, "It doesn't seem to be under Mr.'s control to run out of food, and we all understand people so we don't go around in circles. Let me ask you, what do you mean by coming here?"

Cai Jing said lightly: "I'm here to show you a clear path."

"Bright way? Why do I need a bright way and a dark way?" Zhuge Jin laughed out loud when he heard the words.

"You have already stepped on the door of hell with one foot closed. If I waited this time, I might not be able to laugh."

Fang Tianding stood up and looked at Cai Jing for a while and asked, "Tell me, what is Minglu?"

"Continuing to stay with the Tang army will inevitably lead to death. Instead of going to Huangquan with them, it is better to surrender to the Qi army as soon as possible."

Zhuge Jin was shocked at first, and suddenly stood up and cursed: "Cai Jing, you are a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and you actually persuaded us to join Qi State. What kind of heart do you have?"

"What kind of heart? Naturally, it is the heart of being loyal to Qi. To tell you the truth, I have always been a member of Qi. I was appointed by Emperor Qi to go to Tang to corrupt Tang's ministers, thereby disintegrating Tang's strength and doing my best. Qi unification of the world has laid a solid foundation. Now that I am about to unify the great Qi, Li Shimin is acting like a chariot with his arms outstretched. Both of them are heroes of one side. His Majesty admires them very much, so he entrusts me to recruit them. If the two of them are willing If you vote for Qi, my lord will reward you with high officials and rich salary."

Zhuge Jin was silent when he heard the words, Fang Tianding also fell into deep thought.

Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister.Now that the Qi State has taken over the world, if they continue to resist in the corner, they will be seeking their own death.

Since Lord Qi took the initiative to cast an olive branch, if they were ignorant of current affairs, they would really be blind to their own eyes.

"Mr. has said so far, I still need to think for a while before giving an answer."

Cai Jing smiled and said: "It is necessary to think about it, but I hope you two don't take too long. The longer this time takes, the lower the value will be. I hope you two will remember it, remember it!"

Chapter 937 Struggle Around Food

The first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, and the soldiers of the Tang army came out of their tents with a sigh of relief, ready to eat.

Tang Jun's food supply has bottomed out, and the daily food supply has changed from hard goods to gruel, and finally it is completely clear soup. It is difficult to find even rice crackers.

The soldiers were already under a lot of pressure from being besieged by the Qi army, and now seeing such a shortage of food, one can imagine their morale.

Especially, when they learned that last night, Wu Yue's camp was suddenly deserted and tens of thousands of people disappeared without a trace overnight.

The Wuyue army was originally tied to them, but now they suddenly disappeared, and the corner of the southern sky has collapsed. Even if Li Shimin spit out orchids, it is difficult to explain the situation in front of him.

After cooking, a strong fragrance suddenly filled the air.

Under Cai Jing's planning, Zhuge Jin and Fang Tianding led an army of [-] to surrender. Although they were enemies in the past, they now let go of their previous suspicions and surrendered voluntarily. Cao Anmin did not pursue their past mistakes, and sealed them one after another to reassure people. .

After they arrived, they also brought Cao Anmin a lot of information about the Tang Army.

Li Shimin, the "Heavenly Khan", Cao Anmin would really be a little timid if he were to be tough.

After all, above the attributes, this may be the only super character with more than a hundred of the three attributes.

But the reason why the Tang State has been defeated repeatedly is because Cao Anmin is good at employing people.Talents perform their own duties and occupy their positions. The buildings of Qi State are formed by the accumulation of countless talents; There are treacherous officials like Qin Hui and Cai Jing who are in chaos.Locally, although they occupy several states, their foundation is not stable, and their past problems have not been resolved.

For various reasons, Li Tang was naturally not Qi's opponent.

Cao Anmin absorbed the lessons of the previous failure of aggressive advances, and now he still adopts the strategy of attacking the city first and attacking the heart first.

All the ministries were ordered to reward the soldiers of the three armies, kill pigs and sheep, and hold a big banquet.Moreover, more spices were added on purpose, so that the fragrance spread to the camp of the Tang army.

On one side is Qi Jun who is feasting, and on the other side is Tang Jun who is hungry. The gap is constantly expanding in his heart. No matter how high the morale of Tang Jun is, it will all disintegrate with the smell of food.

On Tang Jun's side, the soldiers ignored the porridge in their hands, and sniffed the fragrance in the air eagerly.All of them were pale and emaciated from hunger. Not to mention the big fish and meat, even the grass roots around the camp were eaten up. When they smelled this fragrance, their eyes almost burst into flames.
