Not to mention Ning Ze's new goal, the front-line war has been stalemate for half a month, and it is extremely fierce.

China is fully prepared, and the other party is trying his best.

Tang Niu has devoted his whole country to the forefront and must not lose.

Once the front line defense is broken, the consequence is that the entire line collapses.

For this reason, Zhou Guo soldiers stood firm in the city and fought a pretty defensive battle under Tang Niu's personal leadership.

With Lu Huan in Xiacheng County and Lu Yuan supported him, he could barely block the Chinese troops.

Ning Ze inspected military information every day in Huajun. Although China had the advantage in overall performance and the proportion of war losses between the two sides was huge, it was not a good thing to delay for such a long time.

If the three dragons cannot be defeated within a month, Sima Fa will likely recover and restore the strength of Liang State, and it will become more difficult to win it.

You can't go out to fight in person every war, and that's endless. I don't know when it will end!

Furthermore, he carefully studied and balanced the combination of the two armies.

With their strength, as long as they cooperate, they can definitely defeat Tang Niu.

The telegram was sent immediately, demanding that the front-line general defeat the enemy as soon as possible.

Mi Yuansheng received a telegram and immediately consulted Feng Qiao, a military advisor.

Feng Qiao was not in a hurry and said to Mi Yuansheng: "The general doesn't have to worry. Sanlong County seems to be solid, but in fact there are chaos inside. If what I expected, the soldiers in the city would definitely not be able to withstand it. Especially the militia cannot eat enough and they are desperate and have a lot of resentment every day. Just keep the offensive and there will be internal strife. But just seize the opportunity and destroy the city!"

Mi Yuansheng followed Feng Qiao's advice and the army continued to attack the city with high intensity.

Sure enough, three days later, the militia in the city couldn't help it and directly broke out in internal strife.

After all, I am at the forefront every day and use my life to block the Chinese soldiers, and I can only barely have a full meal. Compared with the treatment of elite soldiers and generals in Zhou, how can I feel balanced?

There is no shortage of food in the city. He has to work hard without giving him enough food. Who can bear it?

So when some people complained publicly, other militias agreed, and rioted amid a few times. Some people took the lead in robbing the food of elite troops. The two sides had conflicts and directly fought in internal strife.

The news reached Tang Niu's ears, which shocked him.

This is a critical moment of internal strife, which is quite bad.

He quickly led his troops to the scene, suppressed the riot with force, finally calmed down the internal strife, and asked clearly what happened.

When I learned about the causes and consequences, I immediately fell into a difficult choice.

The militia demanded the same treatment. If they wanted to go to battle and kill the enemy, they had to eat and drink as much as the elite troops, and they could not favor one or the other. They were all fighting for their lives. Why is there such a big difference? To keep them working hard, they must agree to this request.

If it were the past, these militiamen would not dare to speak like this in front of the emperor. They found that everyone was on the verge of death, so what were their concerns? They were all dead, at least they were a full-blown ghost.

If the militia's request was agreed to, the military ration would probably not last long. Now the militia's meal is already consumed a lot, after all, they are very large. According to the current situation, there is no problem to hold on for a few months. Once they agree to them and let these militia get the treatment of elite soldiers, the military ration consumption will reach its limit in an instant, and I am afraid that it will not last for half a month.

If they do not agree to the militia's request, if they continue to fight internally, their defensive power will be weakened, and they will even be seized by the enemy to attack the city. If they agree to the militia's request, the military rations will be exhausted in half a month, and they will not be able to stop the Chinese troops.

Tang Niu had a headache and was at a loss.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yuan advised him: "If you disagree, the city will be destroyed in an instant under internal strife. The two sides can hold on for at least half a month, and you can always think of countermeasures! You can first accept it and make the entire army fight against the enemy."

Tang Niu had no choice but to follow Zhou Yuan's advice and promise to give the militia and elite soldiers the same treatment so that everyone could eat.

The internal strife stopped.

Mi Yuansheng got the information and asked Feng Qiao: "Does Tangniu share the grain to calm the civil strife? Is there any countermeasure?"

Feng Qiao replied: "Dividing food can solve the urgent problem for a while, but it will drag down the enemy. If there is no countermeasure, the enemy will collapse in less than half a month."

"I can't wait that long!" Mi Yuansheng asked hurriedly, "Does the military advisor have a plan to help me get this city quickly?"

"The enemy's military rations are insufficient, so countermeasures must be formulated. It is nothing more than urging grain from the rear or borrowing grain from allies. If it is more vicious, people can feed on people, and the people in the city can hold on for a long time. Of course, Tang Niu will not reach this point." Feng Qiao replied, "I guess he will send people to nearby counties to collect grain and pay. Liang State should not have the conditions to support military rations! If a partial army can be sent deep behind the enemy to cut off the food route, the enemy will be in chaos!"

Mi Yuansheng immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter of intercepting grain.

Wei Yi stood up and said loudly: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to ensure that the task is completed!"

Seeing this, Zu Hong immediately left: "I will ask for a fight at the end!"

Facing the two, Mi Yuansheng thought for a moment and chose Wei Yi, whom he was more familiar with: "General Zu has another important task, so he asked General Wei to lead his troops deep into the enemy's backbone and cut off the food route!"

"Here!" Wei Yi took the order and immediately led his troops to set off.

After he left, Feng Qiao seemed to remember something and his expression was a little hesitant.

Mi Yuansheng noticed this and asked curiously: "Does Military Commander Feng have any doubts?"

Feng Qiao was silent for a moment before speaking: "Although Zhou Yuan is young, she is as good as a general and has a skilled military strategy. Maybe we can guess that we may send troops to cut off the food route. If he made arrangements in advance, General Wei would probably be in danger of this trip!"

Mi Yuansheng nodded after hearing this: "My son-in-law often mentions Zhou Yuan, saying that he has the style of a famous general and should not be underestimated! It is indeed possible to set up defenses in advance. How should the military advisors respond?"

"It's better to send General Zu Hong to the reception, beware of unexpected precautions!" Feng Qiao replied.

To be honest, Feng Qiao was hesitating whether to say it. If he didn't say it, Wei Yi might be in Zhou Yuan's hands. I heard that Ning Ze attaches great importance to Zhou Yuan and may have a grudge against this matter. For him, it may be a good thing. Although it was his own plan, Ning Ze might not pursue it. It was like this on the battlefield, and things in the world were impermanent.

But if you think about it carefully, even if Zhou Yuan really killed Wei Yi in Ning Ze's cunning, she might be able to endure it or even care about it. Moreover, this little thing cannot change the fate of the destruction of Zhou State.

After thinking about it, I still chose to say it out. If Ning Ze saw his thoughts, it would be fine if he didn't pursue it, but if he pursued it, he would hurt himself.

Mi Yuansheng nodded when he heard this and immediately turned to Zu Hong: "Can General Zu lead his troops to cover?"

"The last one will obey the order!" Zu Hong held his fists and took the order.

Sanlong County City.

Due to food and wage problems, Tang Niu had a headache.

Although the internal strife has been resolved and the food and wages are consumed too quickly, it will be very troublesome next.

In order to solve this problem, he asked Zhou Yuan: "If I send an envoy to ask for food, will Liang State agree?"

Zhou Yuan replied: "The treasury of Liang State is empty, and I am afraid it will be supported by force."

"What should I do?"

"For the sake of the present, we can only send troops to nearby counties and cities to collect grain taxes in advance from the people, so that the local governments can even provide some emergency relief food to solve the urgent problem!" Zhou Yuan replied, "Although this move hurts the people's hearts, we have to do it! If we urge the grain tax, it can last more than half a month!"

Tang Niu urgently summoned Guanping and asked him to lead troops to urge food.

Zhou Yuan said: "Feng Qiao is extremely wise and may be guessing our urge for food. If he sends a general to go deep and cut off my food route, the disaster will be endless! Although the irrigation doctor is safe, he is still a little worse to lead the troops to fight. He will still stay by His Majesty's side to assist in defending the city and offer suggestions. I personally lead the troops to run. If the enemy sends people to intercept the food, he will tell him that he will never come back!"

Zhou Yuan was very happy and Tang Niu was very relieved. After all, he taught him step by step, and ordinary generals were not his opponents. He was also proficient in military tactics and could adapt to the situation. He nodded immediately: "Go early and come back soon!"

"Here!"

Zhou Yuan led his troops to set out from the west gate. While Fei Ge sent a letter to the county town in the rear to prepare, he moved quickly and went to urge grain in person.

After receiving the order, the prefects of each county became busy and ordered their subordinates to travel around the counties, towns and villages to collect grain taxes from the people in advance.

At the same time, we interviewed the gentry and powerful people in each county and tried our best to obtain food and salary.

In fact, it is just trying hard to squeeze out from their hands. Doing so is equivalent to snatching food from the people, which is really a helpless move.

People in various places were full of grievances, but fortunately, most people would not rebel if they had a bite of food. Officials from Zhou tried their best to leave food for the people in various places, at least to be unable to starve to death. Although the people's hearts were lost a lot, there were complaints everywhere, and at least a lot of military rations were collected.

The disaster relief food in the official warehouse was also divided into some to support the front line.

Zhou Yuan led his troops to quickly escort the military rations transported back to Sanlong County.

Wei Yi led his troops to set off and successfully walked around the back of Sanlong County, set up an ambush near the grain road, and waited for Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was proficient in military tactics, avoided dangers along the way, and carefully reconnaissed along the way. She successfully discovered the hiding point of Wei Yi's army, set up plans before getting close, and set up temporary camps near the ambush point, and secretly set up traps.

Wei Yi was trapped and saw that the other party did not immediately enter the ambush, so he couldn't help but be anxious. He found that they had set up camp, so he wanted to raid at night and set fire to the food truck.

Late at night, he led his troops to approach the camp quietly and launched an offensive with rockets.

As a result, the enemy camp was empty and the military rations were not known where to go.

Before he could react, Zhou Yuan suddenly benefited from the side, surrounded by Zhou troops and horses, quickly surrounding Wei Yi.

Wei Yi was shocked and rushed to break through. He met Zhou Yuan's fight several times and was knocked down by the opponent. Fortunately, his generals stopped him desperately and fled in a hurry.

Zhou Yuan broke through the interception and caught up with Wei Yi, wanting to take him down.

In the crisis, a Chinese army suddenly broke out in the dark night. Zu Hong, the leader, shouted: "Zhou Yuan, you have been trapped! Come on!"

Zhou Yuan was shocked. Although she was not afraid of Zu Hong, she was worried that the military ration would be robbed, so she hurriedly turned around and withdrew.

Wei Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted at Zu Hong: "General Zu, don't let Zhou Yuan run away!"

Zu Hong stopped him: "General Wei, the last general was just cheating on the enemy. Military Secretary Feng expected Zhou Yuan to be prepared and asked me to come and pick me up!"

Wei Yi realized that he was just a fool, and he might not be able to beat Zhou Yuan's troops when he was head-on, so he hurriedly followed Zu Hong to retreat quickly.

After Zhou Yuan retreated, she found that the other party was not chasing. She quickly realized that she had been deceived and immediately led her troops to pursue her.

Halfway through the road, countless stones suddenly fell from the cliffs on both sides, completely blocking the road. It turned out that Zu Hong made preparations in advance, and after passing with Wei Yi, he immediately used a torch as a signal to completely block the mountain road.
