"Is there anything else you want to explain?"
Li Yi stroked his belly contentedly, took a big sip, burped and looked at Guo Yunkai, who had not moved his chopsticks.
He found that the other party seemed to be staring at him from beginning to end.
He neither moved his chopsticks nor made any intention to speak.
It was as if he was looking at him repeatedly, trying to see through him.
"I don't have anything to say. What should be said has been said in the past three days."
Guo Yunkai shook his head.
Li Yiyi was still unfinished and tore off another large piece of chicken leg meat.
What he didn't see was that while he was eating meat, the corners of Guo Yunkai's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
It felt as if what Li Yi had just bitten was his flesh.
"That's strange. Since you have nothing to say, it means you are very satisfied with me. Then may I ask why you keep looking at me like this."
Li Yi was talking while eating. At the end, he put down the chicken drumstick in his hand and suddenly looked at Guo Canjun beside him, his eyes sharp.
In fact, Li Yi has always been aware of Guo Yunkai's every move, including his eye movements.
But he felt that it would be meaningless just to say it like this.
At least wait until he's full!
Then I heard Guo Yunkai say something completely irrelevant.
"You eat so much!"
Li Yi:......? ? ?
Guo Yunkai ignored Li Yi, who looked confused, and kept talking to himself.
"Do you know how much food is harvested on the border in a year?"
"One million dan of grain is enough to feed a family of three for half a year. The harvest of the entire border in one year is not enough for the people here to feed themselves."
"In fact, this is not a problem, because apart from food, there are many ways to avoid starving to death. There are so many mountains here. As long as you are more diligent and go hunting in the mountains, you can still survive. Even if it is not like this , you can also do other jobs. Even if there is no man in the family, you can still help others wash clothes, do needlework, or work part-time jobs to survive..."
Hearing this, Li Yi already knew what the other party was going to say.
However, he did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
Gradually, there were no other movements in his hands and mouth, and he just put them aside quietly, as if he was afraid of disturbing this unattractive-looking, and even somewhat evil-looking border chief soldier.
Guo Yunkai didn't seem to notice Li Yi's movements. He had been staring at Li Yi since the beginning of the meal and did nothing.
"But the people at the border have never had enough to eat every day. It is normal for the family to have one meal a day. Don't think I am being alarmist. I am originally from the border. I grew up here. If it weren't for my good luck, After meeting the general, I, like thousands of people at the border, start wondering where I can earn today's rations every day as soon as I open my eyes."
"Since the war began, although theoretically we have a great advantage in defending the city, because the original city wall was too short, it was basically useless to these tall, strong and flexible Damans."
"So after finally resisting the attack for the first time, the general immediately ordered the city wall to be raised."
"Do you know what that means?"
"That was during the war! These Daman don't care whether you have a ceasefire or not. As long as a living person enters their range of activities, they will attack."
"In other words, the city wall built at that time was completely built due to Daman's constant harassment and attacks!"
"Do you know how many people died?"
"No you don't know, a whole million people!"
"This includes the people who died while building the city wall, as well as the garrison soldiers."
"During that time, white silk was hung at the door of every house for funerals, and the whole city was drowned in cries!"
"And this lasted for three years!"
"Three years! People are dying every day, batches of corpses. The pile of mass graves outside the city is almost higher than the city wall. From a distance, it looks like a mountain of flesh!"
"But what can we do? Do we want to run away?"
"Obviously impossible!"
At this point, Guo Yunkai, who had reached the emotional point, suddenly stopped, and then smiled bitterly.
"Forget it, why am I telling you this? You are simply a fake."
Li Yi: ...No, you don’t curse like that! It’s not what I wanted to do, you obviously forced me to do it, right?
Well, this guy has no intention of paying attention to him at all.
Li Yi finally saw it at this time.
The chief military officer has always been under great pressure, although he has not told Li Yi so far what happened to the real General Chen Han.
But the absence of people is certain.
Otherwise, there would be no need for a fake like him to top the tank.
It would be good if the drama tomorrow can be performed well.
If the performance fails, I'm afraid it's not just Li Yi and Li Yi who are sitting at the table who will die by then.
Hundreds of thousands of border troops and millions of civilians may die in this military disaster.
To put it even more exaggeratedly, once the city wall, which is more than thirty meters high, collapses, it will be unable to stop the increasingly powerful Daman Army.
The entire empire would be in dire straits.
This is not alarmist.
In the past few days, under the leadership of Guo Yunkai, Li Yi had an in-depth understanding of the specific conditions of the Hansheng Pass, which is known as the first pass in the world.
To sum it up simply, it looks strong and strong, but in fact it is weathered. Once it encounters a bigger snowstorm, it may collapse at any time.
And that's just one of the dangers.
The bigger hidden danger is.
The food in the city is running out.
And now this weather.
At this time, a gust of cool night wind blew across his face, causing most of Li Yi's drinking energy to disappear.
That’s right, it’s already autumn.
There are no crops on this planet that can be harvested twice or four times a year.
The hard work of more than half a year is just for that autumn harvest.
As an empire still in the agricultural era, food is the foundation of a country. If there is not enough food, let alone a war, it will be difficult to guarantee an ordinary life.
Not to mention increasing population and improving productivity.
It’s simply wishful thinking!
Guo Yunkai didn't seem to intend to end it. The pause just now seemed to be just to let someone recognize the reality, and then he continued to vent his emotions.
"Haha, do you know what those nobles in the imperial capital are doing at this time?"
"They have already burned the house that is bigger than my military camp. Even if you step on the corridor floor with bare feet, you will not feel a chill. The firewood and charcoal they use are all common people's axes." After cutting it down from the mountain with an axe, they carried it step by step to the street. Finally, after spending a little bit of their pitiful hard work, these poor people had to carry their burden step by step to the woodshed of the wealthy family. Finally, under the disdainful gaze of the concierge, I walked out of the big house that I never thought I could live in. "
At this point, Guo Yunkai seemed to want to continue, but was stopped by Li Yi with a wave of his hand.
Then, with the other party's puzzled look on his face, Li Yi asked what he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Is it appropriate that there is such a big age gap between me and your general?"
