Dai Si's words immediately brought the atmosphere in the tent to freezing point.
There are many things that cannot be persuaded by taking the initiative.
Yueman had no brains, and he believed Cheng Gongying when he said it.
But Dai Si didn't believe it, and even He Mi, who was close to Han Sui, didn't believe that all this had nothing to do with Han Sui.
Cheng Gongying looked calm, as if he had expected the Qiang clan leader's doubts.
"Chief Dai, you are right about one thing, and my lord does know it. But you are wrong about one thing. My lord does not support it, but strongly opposes it!"
"snort!"
Daiyi did not stop Cheng Gongying from speaking, and only used a cold snort to express his disdain for his remarks.
Cheng Gongying didn't care. He had already prepared a set of words to explain to the Qiang clan leader.
"The clan leaders must be very clear about what is going on in Liangzhou. Wanting to supply an army of two to three hundred thousand people normally is tantamount to fantasy!"
"As of now, I'm not afraid of your jokes! If we rely solely on the supply from Jincheng's treasury, the 300,000 troops won't even be able to last for a month! What's more, we were defeated by Liu Zhang before and lost all our food, grass and baggage!"
"I know I'm sorry for the soldiers who died at Yuzhong City for the great cause, but I have no choice! If we don't use their meat, the camp will have run out of food!"
"Think about it, clan leaders, without this 'meat', can the coalition maintain the morale to attack the city for ten consecutive days?"
There was silence in the tent, not a single sound was made.
Even if everyone disagrees with this matter, they all admit that what Cheng Gongying said is the truth.
In the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, countless people freeze to death every winter and starve to death. This is nothing new.
After a long time, He Mi, the chief of the Hanqiang tribe who was close to Han Sui, spoke up to break the silence.
"Even so, this does not excuse you from using the corpses of our Qiang soldiers as food!"
Cheng Gongying smiled sadly and nodded unequivocally.
"Clan Leader He is right! So today I am here to give you an explanation! After defeating Liu Zhang, even if you cut me to pieces with a thousand swords, Cheng Gongying will have no complaints!"
Han Sui's eyes widened and he looked at Cheng Gongying in shock.
"Military advisor! You..."
Cheng Gongying was actually willing to sacrifice his life for his great cause!
"Lord! This is what I deserve..."
Han Sui's eyes turned red. He was not a cold-blooded animal, he was also a human being with feelings and flesh and blood.
Cheng Gongying was undoubtedly repaying his kindness!
"military adviser..."
Han Sui wanted to tell everyone that this had nothing to do with Cheng Gongying, everything was his arrangement.
But when the words came to his lips, they never came out.
Maybe it's selfishness, maybe it's greed for life and fear of death, maybe it's for a great cause. . .
Han Sui turned all his anger, sadness, and injustice into motivation to defeat Liu Zhang!
"Did you see it! If I really surrender to Liu Zhang, wouldn't it be easier to just cut off the food supply!"
Han Sui pushed Ma Chao's sword away and glanced at everyone with anger.
"Without food, what can soldiers do to fight? What can you do to stabilize the morale of the army?"
Han Sui's roar was heartbreaking. He was determined to defeat Liu Zhang, but now he was questioned by his own people.
Disheartened was the perfect word to describe his mood at the moment.
But at this moment, a mocking, disdainful, frivolous laugh sounded again.
"Hehehe..."
Han Sui looked up and saw that it was Ma Chao again!
And at some point, the sword reached his neck again!
"Meng Qi, you still don't believe me?"
Han Sui stared at Ma Chao with red eyes, a mixture of anger and disappointment in his eyes.
It's a pity that Ma Chao only responded to Han Sui with contempt.
"Old dog Han, you are quite good at acting!"
Glancing disdainfully at Han Sui again, Ma Chao turned his head and looked behind him.
"Chief Dian, it's your turn."
After Ma Chao finished speaking, the most surprised person in the commander's tent was no one else, but Han Sui.
The meat-eating thing was the only thing Han Sui hid from the Qiang people. He really couldn't think of anything else Dian Wu could accuse him of.
Dian Wu broke free from the restrained soldiers on both sides, and then walked slowly to Ma Chao's side.
"Three nights ago, that was the day you had a dispute with Chief Tudan and General Ma!"
"After I returned, I was upset and patrolled the camp. I happened to see your henchman sneaking out of the camp and heading towards Yuzhong City!"
"Han Sui, you Han people have an old saying, if you don't want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing! You think you are invisible to others, but you didn't know that I happened to see you!" Mo
There was an uproar in the tent, and Yueman and He Mi looked disappointed again.
Fortunately, they had been convinced by Han Sui's words before, but they didn't expect it to be a naked deception again!
Could it be that Liu Zhang suddenly sent a message? It turned out that Han Sui had sent someone to contact him before!
"I didn't! Don't Dian, you are slanderous! Why did you frame me!"
Han Sui stared at Dian Wu in disbelief, never expecting that the other party would frame him out of thin air!
Back to three days ago, after Ma Chao and the five Qiang clan chiefs left, only Han Sui and Cheng Gongying were left in the tent.
"Lord, why don't we go back to Jincheng? I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but the chance of defeating Liu Zhang is too slim..."
Han Sui smiled sadly, then shook his head gently.
"Military advisor, can we stop Liu Zhang by returning to Jincheng? The best case scenario is that we can only survive!"
"I have a sad feeling in my heart. If I miss tonight, I'm afraid we will never be able to defeat the Yizhou Army again..."
Cheng Gongying frowned. He had an idea that he had not spoken out.
He felt that even if Tudan ordered his soldiers to attack Yuzhong tonight, they might not be able to win as Han Sui hoped.
Perhaps from the first defeat and the loss of 150,000 troops, the final outcome of the coalition was already doomed.
"My lord, didn't Liu Zhang once say that he was willing to accept my lord's surrender? If something cannot be done, it is not a way out!"
Cheng Gongying originally thought that speaking out his words to persuade Han Sui to surrender would arouse Han Sui's anger.
Unexpectedly, Han Sui was surprisingly calm and looked thoughtful.
"Surrender...?"
After a long time, Han Sui just asked a question.
"My lord, if you really want to surrender, you must do it as soon as possible! If you can raise 100,000 people in the camp to surrender, Liu Zhang will definitely value your lord."
"If the army is defeated and the situation is critical, and we surrender when we are desperate, the final outcome will be satisfactory..."
Cheng Gongying did not continue. He believed that Han Sui must be very clear.
If the battle is ultimately defeated and the coalition forces collapse, then Han Sui will be of almost no use!
At that time, it is hard to say whether Liu Zhang can accept the surrender!
Was Han Sui afraid of death?
Definitely scared!
No one is afraid of death.
But on the other hand, Han Sui is not afraid either!
As early as decades ago, Han Sui should have been killed at the hands of Beigong Boyu. He has been alive all these years!
Han Sui thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.
"Military advisor, resist until the end! It's just death at most!"
