Tianlan's army was like a broken bamboo. In just two months, it broke the three cities of the Tianlan. This was because it took time for the army to rush and the whole army had to rest for three days after every victory.
Wanyan Lin did not dare to rely on the troops of the hengyuan kingdom to defend the territory. Without Su Mianyue's help, the military supplies could not keep up with them. This was also the reason that the three cities could not hold on, and Wanyan Lin's prestige was quickly reduced among the people. Even the next city might surrender without a fight.
Because su mianyue seemed to have evaporated from the earth, hidden stakes around the world also found that the situation was not right, immediately cut off all the supplies to the Hengyuan, and let people spread rumors, roughly how many people Miss Su had saved the Hengyuan by himself. And the topic of how to stabilize the morale of the Tianlan when the army was at the border.
In contrast, Wanyan Lin became a fatuous monarch with only face value. Without Su Mianyue's help, it would not be a big deal. Sooner or later, the Hengyuan would die because of Wanyan Lin's incompetence.
The people who had thought that yan lin would marry Su Mianyue as his empress, or at least seal his imperial concubine, were even more resentful of the current dynasty. The goddess who saved their lives in their hearts was let down, and who would save them in the future?
As for Su Mianyue, who had married a man who was not a Hengyuan, what did he have to do with the people at the bottom?
As the Tianlan army continued to attack, Wanyan Zhen's little court of River South and Wanyan Lei's little court were also eager to attack the surrounding cities. Wanyan Lin could only send his own troops to suppress them. A large number of military supplies soon gave Wanyan Lin a headache.
"Your majesty, if we continue to fight like this, we will not have enough military supplies. We are afraid that we will not be able to feed ourselves in the war ahead. Now, we are in a desperate need of weapons." Until now, Zhong Ke had become Wanyan Lin's only confidant, constantly reporting on the latest situation.
"Are all the people below useless? They haven't been required to prepare military supplies for years. Why is the food and grass running out so quickly?" Wan yanlin threw the inkstone angrily and his face turned green again.
"Miss Su has been handling the grain and grass issue for the past few years, and his men have been reselling the grain to earn more money for military pay." Zhong Ke's face was a little ugly, suspecting that there was someone below who was greedy for ink. Otherwise, Wanyan Lin had not allocated a small amount of money every year, and there was hardly any silver in his hands.
"They are all rice buckets. Without her, can the Hengyuan not even support the army? Can my army not even provide food?!" Wanyan Lin asked angrily.
Zhong Ke lowered his head and expressed his answer in silence. The truth was obvious.
Now that Wanyan Lin was constantly expanding his army, there was not enough money to buy food, and even if there was money, there was no place to buy food. At that time, the two small courts of the Hengyuan had taken away most of the grain and grass in the whole country. If it had not been for Su Mianyue's opening of the warehouse to release the grain, mo said that the army would have cut off the grain and grass long ago. It was estimated that the Hengyuan had been wiped out by years of famine.
Wanyan Lin obviously knew this too, so he asked Su Mianyue to get the food, but now...
Taking a deep breath, Wanyan Lin immediately wrote down an imperial edict, covered it with a jade seal, and then threw it into Zhong Ke's arms. He said to him, "Issue the imperial edict immediately. There is no time to delay the grain and grass on the front line. Where is the country going to break down the family? We must send the grain and grass to the front line as soon as possible."
Wanyan Lin's imperial edict for the collection of grain and grass caused the Hengyuan, which had risen in grain prices, to be completely thrown into chaos. Even the wealthiest families with small assets could only eat the food they had hidden. The poor people were once again faced with the crisis of starvation. It was undoubtedly an act to make the people rebel.
Even so, the food that could be sent to the front line could only be eaten for a month at most. The number of meals eaten by more than a million soldiers was simply staggering. The color of the food in the Hengyuan changed.
But before the people of the Hengyuan could revolt again, something big happened in the army of the Hengyuan.
The army, which had intended to continue to attack and plunder the city, was on standby, but no one knew the whereabouts of general Shangguan Pei. As a military adviser, Ji Yu, or Ji Xun, was ordered to take charge of the situation in the face of danger. Everything was to find Shangguan Pei.
Although some generals were not convinced, they could not defeat Ji Xun in terms of martial arts, and Shangguan Pei had ordered that if he did not see his own army, he would be respected as a military adviser. Such an order was heard by millions of troops, who would dare to offend the public at this time?
However, Shangguan Pei seemed to evaporate from the earth. No matter how many people Ji Xun sent out, they could not find him. The three armies were terrified without their commanders. If the hengyuan kingdom attacked at this time, it would be a great test for Ji Xun to defend these three cities.
As time flew by, everyone guessed where Su Mianyue was going. In the small village with green hills and rivers, Su Mianyue watched the local farmers rise and fall with each other every day. Because his body had not fully recovered, he could only walk around the front and back of the house, somewhat comfortable under the east fence of chrysanthemum picking.
"Cousin, look, I picked a lot of wild flowers today and made you a garland. Is it beautiful?" Only the six-year-old radish had a red face and a pair of clean eyes looking at Su Mianyue expectantly.
"It's so beautiful. Is this for aunt yue?" Su Mianyue smiled and squatted down.
"Mmm." The bolt nodded hard and tiptoed to put the garland on Su Mianyue's head.
Su Mianyue's face was still beautiful in the village, even though it was still smeared every day. Every time he saw Su Mianyue, the bolt would blush. This time, when he saw Su Mianyue accept the wreath he had knitted, he whispered shyly: "Aunt yue took my garland. When I grow up, I will marry you and be my daughter-in-law. Aunt yue is sure that I will treat you well."
There were cracks on his face, which was originally wearing a gentle smile. Su Mianyue really wanted to hold the little carrot head in front of him on his knees and give him a good spanking on his buttocks. Only then did the older child know how to marry a wife.
"You brat is talking nonsense again. Your aunt yue will be old when you grow up." The seventh lady smiled and lit her son's forehead. Although she was in her thirties, she still had a pair of clear eyes. "Yue has been out for a while. Hurry back to the house and rest. Your cousin said you need to rest. Don't be tired. I'm cooking wild chicken soup. I'll call you later."
"Thank you, cousin." Su Mianyue smiled and waved at the embolus, then strolled back to the temporary east wing, ready to have a good sleep.
She was in terrible health. After only a short stroll, she was very tired and did not know when she would recover. Although she was worried about Biwu's condition, she could not go out to look for him.
After jumping off the cliff, Su Mianyue used his soft sword at his waist to borrow his strength. Although he was still seriously injured, he was still alive.
After being found by the men in black, she gritted her teeth and jumped into the river until she was about to faint before being rescued by lang zhong Hu Qihlang, who was rowing across the river to collect medicine.
When she woke up, Su Mianyue half-truthfully said that she was killed by her fiance. The hu couple pitied her for having a lonely daughter who could not return home, so they lied that she was the distant niece of the seventh wife who came to marry.
In order to avoid trouble, Su Mianyue would paint himself as an ordinary woman every day, so that he could stay in this small mountain village that the court had forgotten to recuperate.
Fortunately, this was the Tianlan territory, and even if Wanyan Lin wanted to capture her, he would have restrained himself a little.
