"We have millions of Hu soldiers. If we fight to the death, even if your country has advanced firearms, you will definitely not be able to take advantage. What's more, there is Dijon in the north of your country. It will be a dead end for you and me, and it will not be beneficial to anyone. The White Army Commander is known as Don’t you, the number one scholar in Daliang, even understand such a simple truth?”
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
Jiang Yuntian cursed loudly: "Who is Dijon? It only took me less than half a year for my general to recover all the sixteen states in the north and Yanyun. If you barbarians hadn't broken the treaty, I would have already defeated the capital of Dijon." Incorporate it into the Daliang territory!”
"Yes! A small barbarian from the Hu tribe, a warrior who has been repeatedly defeated in battles, still has the right to come to my camp and scream, go back to your capital!"
"You slaughtered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beiliang. This blood debt can only be repaid by destroying your tribe!"
The generals angrily criticized him.
"Hmph, I thought Daliang was a state of courtesy, but I didn't expect it to be so rude. Since you don't want to stop, then we have to fight each other. Say goodbye!"
Daniel turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Song Che called him.
He immediately paused, "What else can you say?"
Song Che asked softly: "After the death of the Great Khan of your country at the beginning of the year, which prince will take the throne now?"
Daniel said loudly: "The second prince Kuimu has both political integrity and talent. He will inherit the throne!"
Song Che raised the corner of his mouth slightly and just nodded. He already knew what he knew. He added: "Since you are Arhan's student, every teacher must have a disciple. So, I have a difficult problem here. If you can solve it, I will Immediately retreat back to Chitong City and consider the matter of stopping the troops. But if you can't solve this problem, go back and tell Chachai that he should also retreat back to Lucheng. Do you dare to challenge?"
Daniel sneered: "Master Suwen said that Military Advisor Song is extremely smart. I just want to see it!"
Song Che clapped his hands and said, "Bring it up."
The soldier walked into the tent carrying a jar and a peeled and hard-boiled egg.
Song Che pointed at the egg and said: "If you don't break the egg and put it into a small urn, you will win. Time is a stick of incense. Can you please solve the problem?"
Daniel picked up the egg and tried to fill it into the mouth of the urn. The mouth of the urn was only half the size of the egg, and it would definitely burst if he used force.
He tried several times but couldn't put the egg in. Finally, he threw the egg on the table and hummed softly: "You don't want to retreat, so why bother with such unanswerable questions to make things difficult for others? Where is the character of Daliang?"
"Why can't people blame the uneven road?" Song Che asked: "Then if I can stuff this egg in, what should you do?"
Daniel said: "Then I will go back and ask General Chachai to retreat!"
"No, no, no, asking Chachai to retreat is a bet you can't solve. If you want to see me solve it, then you have to have another bargaining chip. This is called business."
Song Che picked up a piece of paper, lit it on the oil lamp, and then stuffed it into a small urn, "I don't want you to have more, and you will definitely not be able to give me more. So, how about keeping your feet?"
"you--"
"Keep your eyes open and watch, this is the moment to witness the miracle."
Song Che gently placed the egg on the mouth of the bottle. As the oxygen in the urn burned, the pressure gradually decreased, and the egg slid gently from the mouth of the urn into the urn.
"It seems that Arhan's students are just okay - but it's not surprising when you think about it. Your teacher is also an idiot himself. What kind of good students can you teach?"
Song Che pointed at Daniel angrily: "Those who overestimate their own capabilities, what qualifications does an envoy from a lower state have to negotiate terms with my superior state?"
Jiang Yuntian grabbed Daniel's neck with one hand and pushed him to the ground.
"What do you want to do! If the two countries are at war, please come!"
"Who said I'm going to kill you? I'm just willing to admit defeat and want your feet." Song Che picked up the letter he just wrote on the table and said: "This letter contains the conditions for withdrawal. Take it back to you." Teacher, take a look, and if he agrees, he will come and talk in person,"
He threw the letter hard at Daniel's face and said angrily at the end: "I will go back and tell you this - anyone who offends my great power will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
"Push it down and chop!"
"Let me go, I am the messenger, you can't kill me..."
The arrogance and arrogance just now are gone, and he is nothing more than a paper tiger that is useless!
…
The night Daniel was sent back, Hu Jun broke out of camp and returned to Lucheng. Did they keep their promise? They're just scared.
Early the next morning, Liang Jun marched another thirty miles and set up camp twenty miles away from Lucheng. Then he confronted Hu Jun again, firing cannons and shouting curses, in order to lure them out of the city to fight.
Lucheng relies on hills to the west and south, and over the hills is the Hexi Corridor; it borders plains to the east and north. Hu Jun has a large camp in the east, and they are at odds with Lucheng, and they still intend to defend it tightly.
In the next half month, Liang Jun harassed and attacked Lucheng and Hu Jun's camp three times respectively. Although they won some results with artillery, they still could not shake the enemy's defense line.
The top lane is also an endless battle, while the bottom lane is still difficult to make progress.
"What does this Ma Wei do? After all, he is also a border guard in Xiliang. It stands to reason that he should be more experienced. We have advanced two hundred miles, but he is still standing still!"
Whenever he talks about the battle situation in the bottom lane, Jiang Yuntian becomes angry.
There are always those who are holding back on the battlefield. The reason why Beiliang fell in the past was because Ma Wei stood on the sidelines and watched. This man was very cautious.
"Just wait a little longer. The war has been raging for more than a month. It's almost time to send out troops from the Western Regions. When the time comes to attack them head-to-tail, the barbarians will definitely be in disarray."
The regime of the Hu State fell into Kuimu's hands, which meant that the eldest prince and the third prince were defeated, but the tribes behind them would definitely not be convinced - both internal and external conflicts could tear the Hu State into pieces without a war.
No rush, no rush.
In early April, the stalemate with the enemy had been going on for a month. During this period, Liang Jun was not idle. In addition to the daily cannon fire and verbal abuse, Song Che also organized all the soldiers to "hunt for treasure" on the grassland.
In the pristine prairie, it is spring and summer again, and precious medicinal materials are everywhere. They are dug out, dried and transported back to Daliang. The income earned is enough to cover military expenses.
On the other hand, in Lucheng, the way out was blocked by Liang Jun. As long as someone was found transporting food into the city, they would be attacked by Daliang light cavalry.
There are at least 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Lucheng, and eating horse chews requires a lot of supplies every day. They have already been unable to make ends meet.
If you can't fill your stomach, you have to be scolded, humiliated, and bombarded all day long. If things go on like this, any normal person will have a mental breakdown.
Since the end of March, herders have been coming to the military camp one after another. They are willing to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for food and the right to graze.
As a businessman, Song Che was of course willing to accept anyone who came. War was business and he was supposed to make a fortune.
The herdsmen living on the grasslands have already surrendered and shown kindness, so the people besieged in Lucheng must have also complained.
The time has come to destroy the city.
