The slaves of Qi Shilie had no idea that when he began to surround the Huining Prefecture but did not attack, Yu Yunwen, who was the one who was in charge of Changling and restrained the Mongolian Yelu Liuge, had sent more than one's food and grass than he had just arrived at the border of Huining Prefecture, and even a lot of weapons were transported to them.

Looking at the piles of food, grass and other supplies like hills, the slaves of the gods were a little worried for a moment. They were worried about so many things, how long would it take for him and the army to completely consume them?

Yu Yunwen did not come here in person, and even arrived at Changling. Instead, he kept guarding Ruzhou, one of the sixteen passes of Yanyun. This time, he just sent his subordinates to come over to him these supplies that made him worry.

However, before the Qi Shilie's Gods Slave continued to worry about how to digest so many supplies, Ye Qing, who had reached Xianping, brought him a letter. In addition to some suggestions, there were naturally some orders to force Qi Shilie's Gods Slave to digest these supplies.

So the Qishilie Gods slaves who were worried about the amount of supplies they could not digest were worried about, and what should they do if the supplies were consumed too quickly?

I am really afraid that before I can enjoy the rich life, I start living a poor life again.

After Qi Shilie's Gods Slave led its troops to Huining Mansion, Changling, which was empty and unguarded, was sent to Changling by Yu Yunwen and the army transporting food and grass. The between Yu Yunwen and Qi Shilie's Gods Slave was almost like a seamless connection.

The reason why Changling is so important and the addition of troops to Yu Yunwen in Ruzhou is entirely because shortly after Dong Chao returned to Yanjing, after meeting Liu Keshi, Li Heng and others, Liu Keshi took the initiative to stop all the food, grass and supplies that were originally provided to the Mongolians for free this year, before receiving Ye Qing's order.

It was precisely because of Liu Ke's decision before setting off in Yanjing that the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie suddenly became nouveau riche, and a large amount of food and grass began to set off from Yanjing to Yuguan, and then arrived in Liaoyang, which led to the good news that Ye Qing got after arriving at Xianping Prefecture: the food and grass from Liaoyang will be delivered to Xianping soon.

Before Liu Ke's army arrived in Xianping, Ye Qing received all the food and grass and other supplies provided to the Mongolians.

Faced with such news, Jia She, Wanyan Chen Monk, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can, Yelu Yixue and others originally thought that Ye Qing would be furious.

After all, they are still fighting with Jin Ting. If they offend the Mongols at this time, it is almost equivalent to being attacked on both sides. In this way, it is very likely that the Mongols will hold grudges and will interfere when they attack Jin Ting.

But Ye Qing's reaction was completely beyond their expectations. The commanders of various armies gathered in Xianping Prefecture did not see Ye Qing's furious look. On the contrary, after learning that Liu Keshi's private decision, Ye Qing actually showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Yelu Yixue, Wanyan Chen and others used their eyes to signal Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, who were closest to Ye Qing, to ask the two of them why King Yan was satisfied with Liu Ke's decision.

Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can followed Ye Qing for the longest time, but even now, they didn't know why Ye Qing agreed to Liu Keshi's unauthorized free assistance to the Mongolians.

After all, in their opinion, it was not the time to turn against the Mongols, and the war with Jin Ting was far from coming to an end. Even the decisive battle that the generals who had been in battle thought had not started yet, they turned against the Mongols at this time, which made them feel that Liu Keshi's move was a bit too anxious.

Of course, they also knew that the reason why Master Liu Ke chose to turn against the Mongolians at this time and cut off the supply to the Mongolians was probably because Ye Qing's food, grass and other supplies began to become increasingly tight.

Jin Ting gave up Xianping Prefecture and other places without resistance. Although no one guessed Jin Ting's intention to retreat like this at the beginning, with Tan Zhiwang and Chen Qi of Xianping unexpectedly surrendered, and then when he used the conditions to ensure the food of the people in the city, Ye Qing and others almost guessed what Jin Ting was trying to do.

It is no wonder that it is hoped that the people of each city need food and grass relief to consume the food and grass of the Song army, so that Ye Qing will eventually make the decision to withdraw his troops when the food and grass are unsustainable, and the upcoming cold winter season.

It is precisely because of this reason that all the commanders of the army gathered in Xianping Prefecture today to discuss how to confront Jin Ting next, and how to take down the key battle of Long'an Prefecture before the cold winter comes.

Of course, in addition to military affairs, how to deal with the food problem of the people in various cities and places is also a difficult problem.

"Even in Yanjing and Lin'an, there is enough food and grass to help us help the people in various cities and places, so that they will have a good impression of us and will not resist us. But... so much food and grass also take time, right? But obviously, the shortage of food and grass is the time. As time goes by, the cold winter will inevitably cause obstacles to our siege. Once the heavy snow this year is ahead of schedule, or like in previous years, a large amount of food and grass supply will be delayed. Therefore... the last person thinks that since the Jinting ignores the lives of the people, why should we care about the lives of the people? We might as well lead our troops to attack Long'an Prefecture, advance into Huining in one fell swoop, and then meet with the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie..." On the premise that no one is willing to speak in advance, Qi Shilie Baishan, who has always rarely spoken, suddenly took the lead to suggest to Ye Qing this time.

"Maybe we should echo the Gods Slaves of Qi Shilie. The Gods Slaves of Qi Shilie can also restrain the enemy's attention around Huining Mansion. In this way, it will naturally be more beneficial for us to attack Long'an Mansion next." Wanyan Xielie, who was originally lowering his head, raised his head and looked at Qi Shilie Baishan and said.

"At present, the encirclement of the gods and slaves of Qi Shilie will not attack Jin Ting, but in the end it will not cause any substantial harm to Jin Ting. Originally, the generals believed that after the gods and slaves of Qi Shilie arrived around Huining Prefecture, Huining Prefecture would take the initiative to attack, but now... it is obvious that Jin Ting's patience is beyond our expectations. So if the stalemate continues, it will indeed be more and more unfavorable to us. We are delayed by the food and clothing of the people in various cities and places, and have delayed our pace. This is also the strategy of Jin Ting to delay our attack on Long'an. So if we really care about the people in various cities and places, we may have really been fooled by Jin Ting to delay time." Yelu Yixue took a deep breath and said, quite agreeing with Qi Shilie Baishan and Wanyan Xielie's views.

"Maybe after Master Liu Ke arrives, these problems will no longer be problems, and all the problems that we have troubled will be solved? Don't forget that over the years, Master Liu Ke has followed King Yan to fight in the south and north, and is very skilled in the aftermath of the aftermath." Although Mo Xiaobao didn't know what Ye Qing was waiting for, since Ye Qing chose to focus on the people of various cities and places to feed, he felt that Ye Qing naturally had Ye Qing's reason.

As for whether Jin Ting's wishful thinking would be followed by Jin Ting's plan, Mo Xiaobao didn't care much, because he had confidence and believed that in the cold winter, the snowy north would cause certain obstacles to their marching and combat, and it would definitely cause considerable trouble to Jin Ting's army.

"If the King of Yan had no good plans, can we still fully believe that Lord Liu could really fully appease the people in all cities and places with his own strength? Don't forget that the people are no more than those officials. They don't have to worry about food and clothing. What we want is fame and fortune, and we can easily afford these. But the people... want what the people think is the simplest, but for us, it is also a very difficult problem. Giving officials to the people is far from giving them a bite. At present, although our army has not yet reached the point of reducing food, if this continues, one person's food rations would have to be divided by ten people." Qi Shi Lie Baishan said again.

"I know General Mo knew that there was no shortage of food in Yuguan. Even if the food and grass for the Mongols were constantly given, it was enough for everyone. But Liu Ke's master decided to stop giving the supplies to the Mongols, so..." Monk Wanyan Chen, who had not spoken, paused and continued, "Didn't Liu Ke's master stop giving the food and grass for the Mongols mean that there were obstacles that we could not imagine? This forced Liu Ke to continue giving the supplies to the Mongols, and became the King of Yan and us as the primary supply target?"

"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world." Zhong Can said, "Compared to Jin Ting's irresponsible take away all the food and grass when he abandoned the city, and we take care of the people's ability to have a full meal, does it mean that compared with Jin Ting, we can win the hearts of the people more deeply? In this way, the right time, the right place and the people will be at least not all given to Jin Ting, right? Since the time will hinder us, it will also hinder Jin Ting? It's just that we are more affected than they are affected. As for the geographical advantage, Long'an Prefecture, as the last line of defense directly to Huining Prefecture, is indeed

It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. But everyone... don't forget that the cruising of the gods of Qi Shilie around the Huining Prefecture is not solemnly surrounded but not attacking, but rather... Because the existence of the cruising of the gods of Qi Shilie has invisibly cut off the connection between Long'an and Huining. I don't believe that when we are all short of food and need to use food and grass to save the people, Jin Ting's army in Long'an will really not care about the lives and death of the people in Long'an City, unless they are willing to see that when we attack Long'an, the people in the city will suddenly turn against each other and fight within the city, causing them greater trouble!"

Zhong Can's words first made Qi Shilie Baishan and others frown, but as Zhong Can continued to say it, almost all looked at Zhong Can with a surprised expression, and instead, Zhong Can, who had just been sensible, felt embarrassed to be seen in public, and even blushed, and said weakly: "What...what happened? What I said...is it really not a basis at all?"

"No, we just feel that it seems that you are the only one who knows the mind of King Yan best. So I guess... King Yan asked the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie to surround him and not attack him to some extent to cut off the connection between Long'an and Huining. Since Jinting threw the problem of food and grass to us, we can also throw the same problem to Jinting's Huining Mansion and Long'an Mansion. King Yan, what is the last guess? " Qi Shilie Baishan asked with a little excited expression.

"As the saying goes, every family has a difficult sutra." Ye Qing said at this time: "The difficulties we face are also difficulties for our enemies. If the enemy has sufficient food and supplies, how could they abandon the city and retreat to defend without resistance? This shows that the difficulties encountered by Wanyan Xun and the others are the same as ours. The reason why they chose to give up Xianping Prefecture and retreat to Long'an was that they needed to concentrate limited food and supplies, just like gathering the remaining defeated generals left on the battlefield. Although they will not play any role in combat effectiveness, they will survive in a way to save their lives." Ye Qing said with a smile, but there was not much optimism in his expression.

"At present... the most important thing is to figure out who came up with this method for Wanyan Xun and the others, and who is the real leader guarding Long'an Prefecture at the moment." Ye Qing frowned and thought for a while, and continued to say: "The reason why he had to wait for Liu Ke to arrive is that in addition to bringing more food and grass and helping the people, he hopes that through this move, the people of Long'an and even Huining Prefecture will get the food to be given by Xianping Prefecture. In this way, once the people of Long'an Prefecture learn this news, do you think they can still watch the people have no food to eat without being indifferent?"

"Who are you going to compare with Long'an Mansion with more food?" Monk Wanyan Chen asked in surprise.

"In addition to comparing with Wanyan Xun who has a strong family background, we naturally have to be patient. It is the best strategy to defeat others without fighting. If we can still win the Tongkai, and the Xianping Mansion is as easy as killing a few soldiers, why don't we do it?" Although Ye Qing's words did not seem as domineering as the words said by the King of Yan in his impression, we have to admit that these simple words made them feel a warm feeling inexplicably.

As the commander of the army and as generals who personally wear armor, although they have long seen how fragile and cheap life on the battlefield is. But deep down, every time they kill an enemy on the battlefield, they still hope that one of the soldiers under their command can die less in battle. After all, each of them is a living life, born and raised by their parents. Although some soldiers who died in battle cannot even call their names, they are still living lives swaying in front of them at this moment.

I will be numb to the dead on the battlefield, but emotionally, in the deepest part of my heart, I still retain the greatest respect for every life.

Zhao Pan'er ran into the conference hall in a hurry. Before the person could walk to Ye Qing, the letter in his hand was first handed over to Ye Qing.

"I found out that as you think, Long'an Prefecture has indeed undergone great changes. Now a royal family is in Long'an, named Wanyan Congyi. The original Long'an Prefect was executed in public on the first day after Wanyan Congyi arrived in Long'an." Zhao Pan'er stood beside Ye Qing and said.

Ye Qing took the letter from Zhao Paner. He was not unfamiliar with the name Wanyan Congyi, but he was not familiar with it. His eyes were naturally clear, so he swept from the letter to Monk Chen, Wanyan Xielie and Qi Shilie Baishan.

Qi Shi Lie Baishan understood the truth. After Ye Qing looked at him and bowed his head to tear down the letters in his hand again, Qi Shi Lie Baishan began to say: "Yes, Wanyan Congyi is indeed a royal family. When the late emperor Wanyan Jing was alive, he was given the title of King Huo, and his brother Wanyan Congxian was given the title of King Ying. But even so, the two brothers were not loyal to the late emperor, especially after... After you captured Yanjing, you two brothers began to get very close to King Xing Wanyan Xun at that time. Of course, this was also because after Yanjing and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun lost, King Xing put great pressure on the late emperor. King Yan was in Zhongjing at that time, and you must have heard of these things at that time, including the fact that most of the Xijing was lost, and the incident when the late emperor personally returned to the city with you after he personally led the expedition, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the two brothers Wanyan Congyi."

"The two brothers are both dissatisfied with the late emperor and you. After all, you have just captured Yanjing City and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and hurried over to help some of the late emperors captured by the Mongols. This incident caused great dissatisfaction among the royal families. Although two royal families were executed by the late emperor and you that time, King Xing was not exposed." Wanyan Xielie said.

"After you left, the late emperor was also very careful about King Xing, but later on, as for why he relaxed his guard against Wanyan Xun, the late emperor was not very clear. The late emperor speculated that it might be related to the lobbying of the two brothers of Wanyan Congxian in front of the late emperor. In any case, it was precisely because the late emperor lost most of the territory within the pass that Wanyan fell from Yi..." Monk Chen of Wanyan added.

"What's this person's strategy?" Ye Qing nodded and asked.

"I like to read poetry and books, especially the Han culture, and even King Wei Shao at that time praised it very much. He was able to read some allusions of Han culture, and was considered a very strategic person. But this person has always been low-key and cunning in the royal family, and has always given people a sense of incomprehensibility. His brother's family... Basically, Wanyan can be the master of the Yi, or even the whole master." Qi Shi Lie Baishan replied.

Ye Qing frowned thoughtfully while reading the letter, and then muttered to himself: "In this way, then it is certain that the real leader of Long'an Mansion is Wanyan Congyi, and this method of consuming our food and grass seems to be his hands. Otherwise, Wanyan Xun would not be able to let a royal family guard Long'an at this time. Since Wanyan Congyi guarded, it means... Wanyan Xun may be available in the court at the moment, and there are not many trustworthy ministers."

"This person is calm and does not show his emotions. Although he is a royal family, it is precisely because of his cunning that he has always been unable to see through that the royal family has always hated him more than he likes him. By the way, although this person is very cunning, he always likes to tell the truth and go straight. So it is quite contradictory." Monk Wanyan Chen said with some incomprehension, because what they said was the opinions of some royal families at that time on the two brothers of Wanyan Congyi.

Of course, including Wanyan Congxian, who is more calm than Wanyan Congyi, who has been supervising Wanyan Congyi, who has always liked to tell the truth over the years, all told Ye Qing without reservation.

After hearing this, Ye Qing stroked his long chin with a stubble and laughed a little: "In this way, this person is quite interesting. He is both cunning but also straightforward. So which one is his true nature? This makes me want to meet this person."

Ye Qing couldn't help but recall that during the time he stayed in Jin Dynasty, he had heard some things about Wanyan Congyi's name a few times. Although it was not very clear and not many, Ye Qing understood it a little. Wanyan Congyi might be aspiring royal family, and to be honest, his straightforward nature may be the side he wants people to see, and his deep cunning side is probably his most real side, right?

At this time, on the wall of Long'an Prefecture, Wanyan Congyi remained motionless in the wind, and behind him were several generals standing in a row. From time to time, some generals could be seen showing a look of awe when they looked at Wanyan Congyi's back.

I have to say that after Wanyan Congyi came to Long'an Prefecture, the first fire pointed directly at the prefect of Long'an Prefecture. This action was under the seemingly rash surface, but it did indeed make Wanyan Congyi establish his prestige in Long'an Prefecture in the shortest time.

In addition to the unconditional support of Wanyan Congyi by Huining Mansion, Wanyan Congyi's prestige in Long'an has reached its peak in the past few days, and the generals in the army, after he had dealt with a group of them, finally became a large army that he could use as his arm.

Since arriving at Long'an Prefecture, Wanyan Congyi has patrolled the entire city defense every day, and every day he will stand on the city wall and stare motionlessly at the south in a daze. Sometimes he will even be idle for an hour, and the generals behind him will stand here for an hour.

No one knows what Wanyan Congyi is thinking, no one knows what Wanyan Congyi is looking at or waiting for.

But every time Wanyan climbed from Yi to the city, she would frown and her expression would appear extremely heavy, just as if the sunny day above her head was not shining brightly, but the bad weather with dark clouds and storms coming.

What Wanyan Congyi expected was that he had been in Long'an Prefecture for more than ten days, but he had not seen the Song army he had guessed to pursue the victory. The scouts who had been scattered outside the city, except for the scouts who occasionally encountered the Song army when they were approaching Xian, the entire radius of dozens of miles centered on Long'an Prefecture was completely without the shadow of the Song army.

This made Wanyan Congyi, who stood on the top of the city, felt even more uneasy. Although he didn't want the Song army to appear under the city, if the Song army did not choose to take advantage of the victory and instead fought steadily, it made him begin to doubt whether the food and grass of the Song army could really support them and the people who beg for food in various cities and places?

Wanyan Congyi was not afraid that the Song army would immediately come to the city. On the contrary, what he feared most was that the Song army would not appear under the city for a long time. He would never expect the Song army to restrain the Song army because of Xianping and the people who opened the city to open the city, but was afraid that the Song army would really be consumed with them in Xianping and remained in a stalemate.

After all, when Wanyan Fuxing led his troops to help Gaoli Cui Zhongxian, he had to withdraw his troops because the food and grass supply was not enough and the domestic situation was in progress.

Nowadays, the Song army's food and grass are naturally much richer than theirs. Even if countless people who asked for food helped the Song army consume food, Wanyan Congyi was not sure whether the Song army would really be in short supply.

When the generals wearing armor behind him stood until their legs were almost numb, Wanyan Congyi then slowly turned around, glanced at the soldiers standing in a row, sighed slightly and said, "Go down, thank you for your hard work today, generals."

When he walked down the city wall, Wanyan Congyi, who was still frowning, unconsciously glanced at the boys who were sleeping in the corner of the street, and then as if he realized something, he suddenly said to a general who was close to him: "Take these beggars back and interrogate them and check if they are from Long'an Mansion, and from today... close all the city gates, including the city gates leading to Huining Mansion."

After watching the beggar who led the man to catch the street corner, Wanyan Congyi felt that the big stone that was pressing on his heart was a little lighter.
Chapter completed!
