...

As soon as Chen Wu sat down, a young man who looked better in spirit immediately sat next to him and asked, "Commander Chen, what did the military master above say? Have you agreed to our request?"

Chen Wu said: "The Jun Ye said above that Governor Shi has written our situation into a document and sent someone to the Governor. If you wait a few days later, there should be news..."

The young man sighed and said to Chen Wu: "To be honest, I have no hope for these official troops. It has been almost two years. How many people have we asked for? Is anyone willing to help us? After all, it's not up to ourselves..."

Chen Wu said: "Without the help of the government army, do you know how to go to Liangzhou? If you can't find the direction, how can you save our wife and daughter by yourself?"

The young man was silent when he heard this. Chen Wu's words seemed to touch his heartstrings, and a tear fell from the corners of his eyes.

Chen Wu patted his shoulder and said, "There will be hopeful. We have never suffered in the past two years? For the sake of our wife, daughter and relatives, even if we climb, we have to climb to Liangzhou and ask the group of Hu people to ask our relatives back!"

"Well..." The man wiped away his tears and said heavily.

"Squeak ~"

At this moment, the closed city gate opened wide, and Chen Wu and others immediately got up from the ground and walked towards the city gate with heavy steps.

But when he heard the sound of mules and horses calling into his ears, he saw the governor Shi Cheng commanding a flat cart full of food to push the beggars.

Chen Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said to Shi Cheng: "Sir, can the Governor have a reply? Are you willing to help us save our relatives?"

Shi Cheng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then ordered some civilians: "Hurry up, unload all the food on the car and send it to these people..."

Then he said to Chen Wu: "The Governor General wrote that each person would give a dou of rice so that everyone could have a full meal..."

When Chen Wu heard this, he excitedly grabbed Shi Cheng: "Sir, our begging army will not take your food in vain. Tell me, has he promised to help us save our lost relatives?"

Shi Cheng sighed, slowly pulled Chen Wu's hand away, shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, let me tell you the truth. Now that the Governor wants to deal with the Far East Army, I am afraid I have no time to help you.

Besides, you have also gone to the wrong place. Liangzhou is on the west side and it is on the east side. The two provinces are nearly ten thousand miles apart. How can you take you to find your relatives?

So the Governor thought that your life is not easy, so he specially allowed me to open a warehouse for you to prepare these foods for you, alas..."

In fact, Pei Ji only said that he would give these refugees two liters of rice each, but Shi Cheng was deeply moved by the behavior of this refugee. He specially took out his own surplus grain and added them to a dou of rice for each person so that they could eat a few more meals to fill their stomachs.

Shi Cheng's words made the beggars who had ignited the fire of hope again, and they looked disappointed.

"Don't be discouraged, I believe you will find your relatives again. Will you make a decision after the Governor has resolved the current predicament?" Shi Cheng saw the sad atmosphere and couldn't bear to put salt on their hearts anymore, so he could only comfort them with a loud voice.

Chen Wu thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Governor Shi, are you saying that the Far East Army is coming to invade? That's it, you accept us and let us beg the Living Army to help the Governor defend against the Far East Army, okay?"

Shi Cheng shook his head: "If you really want to help the Governor, don't cause trouble for him. Take the food and leave early, alas..."

After saying that, Shi Cheng sighed helplessly, turned around and walked towards the city.

As soon as Shi Cheng turned around, a low sob immediately sounded behind him, and he couldn't help but stop, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and turned to Chen Wu, patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't be sad. Find a place nearby to take care of it for a while. Maybe it won't take long to help you find your relatives!"

When Chen Wu heard this, he wiped his tears and asked, "Sir, are you saying true? Who can help us?"

Shicheng said: "There is no way out. If you care about your family like this, God will definitely not be so heartless. Now, you should live well..."

Chen Wu sighed, bowed to Chen Wu, and then turned around and left slowly.

...

On May 22, Shanglingbian County...

After Liu Ce's army gathered, it immediately launched a general attack on various passes in Shangling. Until today, after a month of bloody battles, the Far East Army encountered the most tenacious resistance since advancing westward...

"Stone~release~"

"Bang bang bang..."

Outside a fortress, Feng Chounian's troops launched an offensive again. When the army attacked the fortress wall, the defenders at the top of the city immediately smashed the falling rocks and the attacking team suffered heavy losses for a moment, and the offensive was once again setback.

"Oh~~"

Feng Chounian looked at the team that retreated like a tide, shouted angrily, looking at the dense barriers and obstacles, but he was helpless and had no choice.

The troops of Wu Zhenying were also suffering from setbacks. When they attacked a nearly Muzhai, they were attacked by other basins on both sides and stopped their retreat. They completely relied on their military armor and the powerful combat power of the Far East Army to break through the siege and avoided greater casualties.

But in the face of these annoying barriers and fortresses, Wu Zhenying was also at a loss.

As night fell, the soldiers of all the battalions in charge of the attack returned to the camp, and were dejected and hated the tight fortifications of Shanglingbian County.

Wu Zhenying said: "The ground has been dug several trenches, and the siege equipment is difficult to move forward, and the morale of the enemy is so high.

I really didn't expect that Yang Shun would be so powerful. My Zhenzi Camp asked myself that it was the shield of the Far East Army, but Yang Shun seemed to be half better than me.

The fortress he arranged was in a staggered manner. One side was attacked, and the other subsidies would come to help immediately. It was completely unscrupulous. Yang Shun, he is a general..."

"Lao Wu, just say less!" Feng Chounian threw his helmet to the ground, touched his bare head, and said angrily, "I just want to remove the hatred from Yang Shun now. Over the years, I have lost more than a thousand brothers, but I have not even hit a single block..."

Zhang Zhaotong also said: "I have pulled out several high camps in the past few days, but this seems useless. I can't cut off their water and food channels.

There is no point in capturing the camp. Alas, how could he meet such a guy who doesn’t get into the air?"

Chen Qing and Chu Zijun didn't say anything, but just listened silently to the people telling the situation. Their troops were all mainly raised and could not launch an offensive in areas with many fortresses.

However, for such strict defense measures, the two of them had no confidence to continue to defeat them one by one.

Just when everyone was very discouraged by this, Liu Ce and Wu Sidao came among them. Seeing that everyone was sighing, they smiled and said, "Everyone, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone stood up and saluted Liu Ce: "I have met the military governor..."

Liu Ce pressed his hands and signaled that they didn’t need much politeness. Then he sat among them and said, “I know that you have suffered some setbacks now, but no matter what, I still hope that you will not give up!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Chounian immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Governor, I will definitely push down all the fortress barriers tomorrow!"

Liu Ce shook his head and said, "I believe you should understand that a hard attack is not a solution, it will only cause casualties and cause great burden on the logistics.

Therefore, this military supervisor plans to change his strategy, fight a war of attrition with the enemy in Shangling, compete with them for logistics capabilities, and see who consumes more energy than whom!”

"Sweep?"

When the generals heard this, they all asked in confusion.

Liu Cezhiyan confirmed: "That's right, it's just waste. Yang Shun is a famous general who is good at guarding, and Hu She is also crafty and resourceful. The two complement each other and use the familiar terrain to block the pace of our army.

If the enemy cannot be drawn out for duel, I am afraid that the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers will not be able to capture these annoying fortresses and passes.

Therefore, the meaning of this military governor is to compete with the enemy's logistics capabilities, and see who can't hold on first..."

Chen Qing heard this and said, "Mr. Military Supervisor, this method is extremely risky. Although our army currently occupies five provinces, it has been drought in many places over the years and has no harvest of farmland. If you want to replenish logistics supplies, you mainly rely on the Far East transportation.

Although Shangling only has one province, the Pei family has been here for many years, and there has not been any major disaster in the past two years. It is a battle to maintain the succession. How can the competition for logistics surpass them?

Not to mention that there is strong support from the aristocratic family behind the Pei family..."

Liu Ce said: "Commander Chen is right, but how can you know if you don't try it? Now there are 400,000 soldiers in Shanglingbian County. Once the war is urgent, more troops will be summoned to garrison.

I dare to ask how much the people are in such panic? The food and salary expenses of the 400,000 army are so high that we are not feeling well, so the Shangling Army must not be much better than us.

As for the support of the aristocratic families, maybe the aristocratic families would unite at the beginning to deal with our Far East army. But over time, do you think that those profit-oriented aristocratic families would waste their strength and devote themselves to Pei Ji's bottomless pit?

So, let’s wait. As long as one side can’t hold back, the situation will inevitably change. From now on, the entire army will stop fighting and defend to death. Until the enemy takes the initiative to launch an offensive, no one is allowed to take the initiative to attack!"

After saying this, Liu Ce got up and left and walked towards his main account.

As soon as he returned to the tent, Liu Ce's expression immediately became gloomy. Wu Sidao immediately stepped forward and said to him: "Mr. Military Governor, as you ordered, you have sent someone to the Far East to urge grain. By the way, you have notified the Prince of Wei Ji to come together..."

Liu Ce sat back in front of the main case, held his forehead and looked at a detailed map of Shangling border on the table. He then closed his eyes and said, "How long can our army's food and grass last?"

Wu Sidao said: "It is expected that about two months, and the time is calculated, we should be able to last until all parts of the Far East to deliver the food..."

"Um……"

Liu Ce pinched the edge of his nose, opened his eyes, and said lightly: "The news came from Xu Wenjing and Han Kuang that officers and soldiers from all over Qianzhou showed signs of mutiny, and the Monroe outside the Great Wall seemed to be ready to move.
