Wu Li Zhen shouted.

"Marson, you are here, oh, and there are all generals... Come on, sit down!" Yelu Lijun smiled and called them to sit down, and then continued to wipe the blade, "What are you here today?"

"What else can we do?" Wu Lizhen said without polite words, "Of course it is for Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City! Your Highness, we have replenished our food and weapons now. Why don't we continue to attack quickly and watch them repair the city defense and take a breath?

In this way, our hope of capturing two cities will be even smaller! What's more, the Hu Ben Guards, the Xiaoqi Guards and Caozhu are all coming over urgently, and the situation will definitely be even worse by then!"

"I know, but there is no way!" Yelu Lijun sighed.

"What does it mean to be helpless?" Zesass said boldly: "Your Highness, what is there between you and the third prince? We don't want to ask about it, but this battle, Shi Wei invested a lot. If you go back in shame in the end, God knows what will happen! So we must win! Only by occupying this land can we explain it!!"

"I know!" Yelu Lijun nodded with a smile.

"Then why not act?" another general couldn't help asking.

"Because I can't!" Yelu Lijun put down the blade in his hand, looked around, and said, "Do you know how much damage did the Yulin Guard in Dakang suffer from the sneak attack?"

"Isn't it just food and weapons? Haven't you brought new ones?" Wu Lizhen said in surprise, "Isn't it enough? As long as we persist for a month at most, these two cities will be defeated!"

"I have distributed a total of 2.4 million stones of grain these days, and on average, each person is only 60 or 70 kilograms. Now everyone has to eat with their stomachs, and I'm afraid they have eaten half of it. More than 100,000 cattle and sheep are eaten with their open body for five or six days." Yelu Lijun said, "Everyone thinks there is still food on the road, but in fact..."

After a pause, Yelu Lijun said, "In fact, I have no pound of food."

"What!?"

Lu Tushuan screamed in horror.

Everyone present was a little stunned.

Shouldn’t the Fifth Prince come to support him with a large amount of food and weapons?

This was what the third prince asked the emperor before!

Why is there so little food?

Wu Lizhen was also surprised, but he did not lose his mind and asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, why is this?"

"You have consumed too much, and the national treasury has no money or food." Yelu Lijun said, "or rather, the emperor is not willing to pay for food anymore! After knowing that all the military rations here were burned, the grain merchants and landlords of the people refused to sell food, and the prices of cattle and sheep began to rise rapidly, and it was not necessarily possible to buy it after two or three times."

"So fierce!?"

Wu Lizhen couldn't resist frowning.

Although the number of troops was severely reduced after a series of wars, there were still 200,000 troops under Jinzhou City, and 300,000 in Ningyuan City - more than 100,000 were taken by Erqin, who fell in love and killed Li Nanyuan.

How much food does it cost to eat and drink for a full 500,000 people?

Even a mountain is not enough food for a day.

So for this war, Shi Wei made a long preparation, not just acted when his mind became hot.

Yelu Feiyang was very cautious. The food he prepared was until September. Under normal circumstances, if it was a little bit worse, it would not be scarce if it was allocated from China.

Unfortunately, countless people have been burned to death by Dakang's Yulinwei in one breath. Now there is an extremely shortage of food and weapons, so he urgently asks for help from the country.

I originally thought that the fifth prince had replaced the third prince, and all kinds of supplies were prepared.

Unexpectedly, he brought only a group in front of him.

Wu Lizhen believed that Yelu Lijun did not lie. The strategy of the western Liaoning Corridor has been going on for so long. If there is a solution, the emperor and the people in the court will grit their teeth and persist and provide them with support so as not to fail.

The imperial court could not afford to pay, and it was even more delusional to force the food collection in the country.

Which of the grain merchants and landlords is not behind the nobles and high officials?

If you want to recruit toughly, then you will offend all the interests. If the emperor's orders do not go down, everyone will have to oppose them!
