Western Hills.
Tens of thousands of people are actively participating in the reconstruction work.
Firearms workshops, glass workshops, anthracite workshops...everything is back to where it started.
Chu Xiong and Ma Sanbao got busy again, building a greenhouse and continuing to grow potatoes.
Carloads of potatoes were sent down the Xishan Mountains to Peiping to solve the food shortage problem in Peiping.
This once bustling Xishan has regained its vitality after experiencing a catastrophe.
At this moment, halfway up the mountain, a desk was placed in the same place as that day.
Su Yang was wearing a mink fur coat, quietly waiting for someone.
An unkempt prisoner was escorted over, and it turned out to be the famous general Ping An.
The Yan army did not kill him, but captured him and imprisoned him.
Although Tan Yuan chose to spare Ping An's life because of Ping An's special status, it was precisely because of Ping An that all the eight thousand sons of Xishan died in the battle. Even Su Yang narrowly escaped death several times, so he did not receive any preferential treatment.
It's enough to be hungry and unable to run.
Ping An opened his eyes and stared blankly at the young man in front of him.
Why can he survive?
That arrow had obviously killed him!
Ping An couldn't understand that the arrow he shot with his own hands could definitely kill in one hit!
He also saw with his own eyes that the arrow had penetrated the young man's abdomen!
But why can he still survive?
Could it be... is there really God's will?
"General Ping An, sit down!"
Su Yang opened his mouth with a pale face and took the initiative to pour tea for Ping An.
Ping An was speechless for a long time, and finally sat down.
"How...how did you survive?"
"Haha." Su Yang chuckled, "I disappoint General Ping'an."
"Su has a tough life, so he managed to survive. And from the looks of it, he should be able to live another thirty or forty years!"
Ping An was completely desperate, his eyes full of anger and grief.
Fifty thousand troops!
His entire army of 50,000 was eventually wiped out because of Su Yang!
But 50,000 men died in the battle, and in the end they still failed to kill Su Yang!
Why?
It shouldn't be like this!
If this son is not eliminated, who can stop the Yan army?
Ping An's eyes were blood red and he stared at Su Yang.
If it weren't for a group of Forbidden Army soldiers standing next to Su Yang, and if Ping An wasn't wearing chains, he would have really wanted to rise up and kill Su Yang in exchange for his life!
It's a pity that the success fell short and 50,000 sons died in vain!
Ping An closed his eyes in pain.
"Just kill me!"
"Why?" Su Yang asked.
Hearing this, Ping An was stunned and opened his eyes in disbelief.
"Aren't you going to kill me?"
"Your Xishan Yan army was wiped out because of my peaceful army!"
"You, Su Yang, were almost killed by me with one arrow!"
"Are you still prepared to let me live safely?"
Su Yang nodded.
"Yes, I won't kill you!"
"Two armies are fighting, and each is his own master. There is nothing to say."
"Besides, you are the adopted son of Emperor Taizu Gao, so no one will kill you!"
The adopted son of Emperor Taizu Gao!
Ping An smiled to himself.
He did not expect that the person who saved his life in the end was Emperor Taizu Gao.
"General Ping An, surrender!"
"The Yan army is at a time when it is time to recruit people, why not surrender?"
"Hahaha..." Ping An laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Su Yang, Su Yang, I thought you were a smart person, but now you look like that!"
"If you were a smart person, you wouldn't say such stupid things!"
It's really stupid!
How dare he persuade him to surrender?
Do you think the Yan army is ready just because they won the battle at Xishan?
Facing Ping An's ridicule, Su Yang was not angry at all.
"Maybe the general doesn't know yet, but His Highness King Yan has already led his troops to return for reinforcements."
"All Daning's 200,000 soldiers surrendered, and the Yan army's strength increased to 300,000!"
"And the siege of Beiping has been lifted. Su personally led the troops to repel Qu Neng!"
"Now, General Ping An can tell Su, what chance does the Southern Army have of winning?"
As soon as these words came out, Ping An's expression changed drastically.
Three hundred thousand Yan troops!
What a terrible number!
You must know that the Yan army has always been brave, and the Daning soldiers are famous for being brave and good at fighting!
These 300,000 Yan troops are enough to match the imperial court's 500,000 troops, and it is even possible to defeat them!
After all, not all of the 500,000 troops in the imperial court were elites, and they came from various states and capitals, so there were internal rifts and conflicts.
When he thought of this, Ping An felt a little uneasy.
"In addition, the latest battle report shows that Li Jinglong led the main army to retreat to Zhengcunba!"
"His Royal Highness, King Yan, was so powerful that he penetrated the defense line set up by Li Jinglong. The two sides are about to have a decisive battle at Zhengcunba!"
"General Ping An might as well guess who the balance of victory will tilt towards, and who will be the final winner of this battle?"
Ping An was silent after hearing this.
It was just as he expected.
Li Jinglong couldn't stop Zhu Di at all!
One is an idiot and the other is a famous general who is good at fighting. The two are not at the same level at all!
But Ping An didn't give up yet, because he was keenly aware of Yan Jun's biggest shortcoming!
"No matter how brave and skillful the Yan army is, it will be in vain if they don't have enough food and grass!"
"Now there is only Beiping City left in the Yan region. Where will the Yan army get food and grass supplements?"
Admittedly, this is indeed the biggest hidden danger of the Yan army.
Three hundred thousand soldiers had to eat horse chews, and they also consumed huge amounts of food and supplies every day.
The Yan army is not comparable to the Southern army. The Southern army has the imperial court with its back and dominates the world. If they run out of food and grass, they can still ask the imperial court for it.
But the Yan army ran out of food and grass, so they had to find a way on their own.
This is Yan Jun’s biggest hidden danger!
Su Yang chuckled lightly.
"General Ping'an, are you curious why Su Mou wants to defend Xishan?"
"Isn't it because of the tens of thousands of people in Xishan and the sharp firearms you developed?"
"Yes, but not entirely." A smile broke out on Su Yang's face.
He clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought plates of delicious food.
Potato shreds, potato strips, potato chunks, potato porridge.
"Taste it?"
Su Yang stretched out his hand to indicate, and then picked up a bowl of potato porridge himself.
This tastes really good, and it also contains ginseng, wolfberry, etc., which is obviously to replenish Su Yang's body.
Ping An felt a little baffled, but he was not afraid of Su Yang poisoning, so he simply started to feast.
The ancients believed in "eating without talking or sleeping without talking". The two of them ate their delicious food without speaking.
Until Ping An put down his chopsticks with a satisfied look on his face, Su Yang also stopped eating.
"General, what do you think of this? Does it taste okay?"
"Yes, what kind of food is this?" Ping An asked curiously.
He had indeed never tasted this before, and it tasted amazing.
"This thing is called potato. It can be fried, fried, fried, or eaten directly as a staple food."
Ping An's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, but before he asked, Su Yang showed a smirk on his face.
"Moreover, the yield of potatoes is extremely high, with an output of thirty shi per mu!"
"Su has planted potatoes all over the Western Mountains, how can he abandon them in vain?"
"After all, the potatoes harvested in this period are enough to solve the Yan army's current food crisis!"
Hearing this, Ping An felt like he was struck by lightning. He looked at the potato delicacies in front of him in disbelief and suddenly vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
"Su Yang, you thief..."
"I will fight with you!"
Ping An was furious, but was pinned to the ground by the soldier.
Su Yang looked at him indifferently and continued eating leisurely.
It’s heartbreaking to kill someone!
