Fantastical, started with Beiliang, signed with Zhao Gao

In the summer calendar 722, the middle ten days of April.

While many aristocratic families in Central Continent were still paying attention to the dispute between Xia and Shang, a piece of news that shocked Central Continent swept across in an instant, shocking them all.

First, the You Clan joined Da Xia and became the people of Da Xia. Not only did a large number of You Clan enter and live in the customs, but they also began to intermarry with the people of Central Continent. So far, there is no You Clan in Central Continent, only the Yan Clan of Da Xia.

Not long after the Youzu joined the Great Xia, the four small countries in Central Continent also joined the Great Xia and became a part of the Great Xia. The royal families of the four countries swore under the witness of the people of the four countries that they would never betray the Great Xia and moved their families to the Xia capital, becoming the guardian of the Great Xia family. All.

Before anyone can recover, Zhou Long, the Lord of Great Wu, is about to go to Daxia to marry Xia Xian, the Lord of Daxia's Fate, as his concubine, and her dowry is the entire Dawu.

As soon as the news came out, everyone felt that Zhou Long was crazy, and Da Wu even launched a riot across the country, but they were all suppressed within a day. Only then did everyone realize that this was planned long ago, and they had no ability to resist at all.

Dashang, Chiyan Pass.

Lin Zhan looked at the millions of troops preparing to march, and the logistics with only seven days of dry food, and he realized that either Bai Qi was crazy or he was crazy, and they would run out of food before half of the dry food.

And he even began to wonder if he was given some ecstasy drug by Bai Qi. When he learned that Bai Qi was going to point directly at Shangdu, his first thought was that I would go too instead of thinking that Bai Qi could not succeed.

Later, when he found out that Bai Qi was traveling with only seven days of dry food, his first thought was not that Bai Qi was crazy, but how to cooperate with Bai Qi.

Looking at Bai Qi sitting cross-legged on the carriage, Lin Zhan was in a panic now, if he hadn't already married a wife and had children, he would have been afraid that he would fall in love with Bai Qi.

Since Bai Qi got up, he couldn't eat without seeing Bai Qi for a day, so he suppressed the irritability in his heart and bowed to Bai Qi's carriage and said, "I'll go and see how the Zhendong Army is preparing." .

"Why is he so weird?" Ximen Xue, who was acting as a groom, glanced at Lin Zhan's back, turned her head, leaned into the carriage, looked at Bai Qi and asked with flickering eyes.

"Don't worry, he's not the best of Long Yang, he's just an admirer who is overwhelmed by Ben Hou's charm, you'll get used to it after a while." Bai Qi propped his forehead with one hand and took off the mask on Ximen Xue's face and said calmly.

Ximen Xue looked at Bai Qi, who was half leaning on the carriage, and suddenly froze there. Not only did Bai Qi not have a trace of murderous aura and the coldness that refused to be thousands of miles away, but he was full of naturalness and ease, like a man who knows books and etiquette and plays games in the world. Mr. Pianpian.

Bai Qi looked at the dull-eyed Ximenxue with an evil smile on his lips, and the hand holding the mask brushed Ximenxue's scattered strands of hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "Do you still want to kill me now?" .

Ximenxue woke up instantly when she heard Bai Qi's words, and her face immediately turned cold, but she could tell that she was in a state of confusion when she heard the sound of a fast and powerful beating heart.

Bai Qi sat up straight, hooked Ximenxue's chin with his hand and said seriously, "You can hate me, but don't like me, otherwise your life will be even more difficult than now."

Ximen Xue snatched the mask from Bai Qi's hand and immediately put it on his face to cover up the expression on his face.

"Let's go," Bai Qi said calmly to Ximen Xue.

Ximenxue saw that Bai Qi had regained that expression of refusal to be thousands of miles away, so he lashed the horse with a whip and started to set off.

…………

Seven days later, in the afternoon, the tents were set up in vain.

As Bai Qi expected, they didn't encounter any obstacles in the past seven days, and easily entered the hinterland of Dashang, and their dry food just ran out.

Lin Zhan came to Bai Qi's tent with a worried face, looked at Bai Qi who was looking at the sand table and asked anxiously, "Didn't you say that there is food, and the meal will be ready soon. If there is no food, you should know the consequences." .

"I see, go and gather the soldiers first, I have something to say." Bai Qi said to Lin Zhan lightly, as if he didn't need to worry about the food for these millions of people at all.

"Okay" Lin Zhan responded, and immediately called for someone, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Bai Qi picked up a few flags and planted them on several cities not far from him. Tonight he will take down these cities that are already full of merchant troops.

Bai Qi glanced at the sand table coldly, then turned around and walked towards the school field. When he arrived, all the soldiers were already waiting for him in the school field.

Bai got up to the general's platform, looked at the many soldiers in front of him and said coldly, "I have bad news to tell you that we have run out of food, let alone one day or even tonight's food."

"Wow"

As soon as Bai Qi's voice fell, the soldiers below exploded immediately, and the voices of anxiety and irritability immediately enveloped the entire barracks, and a breath of despair and uneasiness began to spread in the army. The soldiers may have begun to mutiny by now.

But Lin Zhan looked at Bai Qi with a frown on his face. In the beginning, Bai Qi asked him to block the news. He could understand this. After all, food and grass are the most important things when marching outside. If the soldiers know that there is no food in the army, it is a military strategist. Taboo.

But now Bai Qi has revealed to everyone what this long-hidden information is for. If it is for desperate, then it is impossible to reverse the current morale of the soldiers in this situation, and no one will go out hungry.

"Let me tell you the second bad news. The army of millions of big merchants has gathered behind us. We are now surrounded by big merchants. If there is no accident, the army behind will catch up with us tomorrow morning." Bai Suddenly, another thunderbolt fell in the already desperate military camp.

"Wow..." A voice that was noisier than before sounded immediately, this time not only the soldiers, but even the generals began to feel uneasy.

The lack of food has already made people desperate, and now that even the back road has been blocked by people, it is even worse. Many soldiers have started to make noise, rushing to the barracks to see if there is really no food.

"I'll tell you the third bad news, our camp is on fire," Bai Qi said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, a heat wave rushed towards them from the barracks, and many people who were still lucky felt cold from head to toe in an instant.

Seeing the monstrous flames, everyone froze in place, at a loss as they watched the camp burn to nothingness.

"Besides, there is still good news for you. There are only 10 guards in the city in front of you. Although the food in it is not enough for all of them, half of them are still enough. This commander promises you, whoever gets the food will be rewarded." Whoever gets the treasure just needs to hand over [-]% of the treasure to Emperor Xia, but if anyone dares to snatch things from his colleagues, I will make his life worse than death." Bai Qi looked at the people below with cold eyes and said murderously.

The originally desperate people turned pale from the murderous aura on Bai Qi's body, but Bai Qi's words rekindled their hope, and everyone looked at the city behind them with bright eyes.

Whether it is food or 10% of the property that can be left behind is enough to make them crazy, a city of [-] people has no pressure on millions of them.

But Lin Zhan looked at Bai Qi with a look of horror. There is no more than 10 people in that city. As the first line of defense for big merchants to intercept them, there will never be less than 80 people.

And once they attack the city, several surrounding cities will definitely send troops to attack them. It can be said that they have no advantage in attacking the city.

"Now attack the city from the left and right sides first, and go to the two armies every quarter of an hour, do you understand?" Bai Qi asked coldly looking at the soldiers.

"Understood!" All the soldiers roared in unison, especially the soldiers on the far left and right most shouted with excitement.

There are 10 troops in one army, and 20 people on the left and right sides at a time. Although the first wave of people is a bit difficult, they are better than them in the front. As long as they are the first to attack the city, they will have no worries for the rest of their lives.

"Kill..." Bai Qi pointed at the distant city and let out a cold roar.

"kill"

The soldiers who had been dazzled immediately rushed towards the city, some even dropped their shields and rushed up with a long sword.

"kill"

The second wave of soldiers, who were already about to move, chased the people in front with red eyes. Although the first wave of people had already attacked the city, they had not yet reached the city wall. As long as they were fast enough, they could just catch up with them and enter the city.

"kill"

The third wave of people also gritted their teeth and rushed towards the city immediately. They saw someone boarding the city. Although there were not many people, they knew that they still had a chance to come out on top.

"kill"

The fourth wave of people rushed forward before the time came, and they could no longer suppress their excited blood.

"kill"

The rest of the people didn't wait any longer when they saw this, they scrambled forward to chase. They could accept that everyone had nothing to eat, they could accept that the generals had food, but they couldn't accept that fellow soldiers could eat.

What they are pursuing now is not food or property, but not to lose to people like themselves.

Lin Zhan looked at those desperate siege soldiers, sweating all over his back. He came to Bai Qi and asked in a trembling voice, "Has General Ximen already entered the city?"

"Yes, I have ordered her to wait in the city. Once the city is broken, most of the food will be burned immediately. If they want to eat enough, they can only break through the cities of Dashang, the first line of defense." Bai Qi said with a face Said calmly.

Lin Zhan's scalp felt numb immediately when he heard this, and he asked tremblingly, "Aren't you afraid that they won't have enough to eat and won't be able to fight the big merchants?"

Bai Qi heard the words and said calmly, "Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, as long as they survive the battle of the big merchants, they are the most elite soldiers. If they fail, they are not qualified to serve under my command."

Lin Zhan turned his head and looked gravely at the Zhendong Army, which was already in turmoil, and the Zhennan Army, which was still as calm as water, and the gap between the two armies immediately became apparent.

Although his Zhendong Army is also an elite who has experienced many battles, it is far inferior to Bai Qi's Zhennan Army in terms of momentum. It turned out that Bai Qi didn't like them at all.

"boom"

"kill"

A deafening and exciting roar came to the school grounds. Lin Zhan looked up and saw that the city that he thought could not be captured easily had already been captured. Facing Xia Jun who was like a hungry wolf, Da Shang Those soldiers could only keep retreating.

When Xia Jun found that the people in the city had already migrated, not to mention food, not even a bowl was left behind, the attack on the Dashang army became more ferocious.

"The people of Dashang began to burn grain."

Someone yelled, and the sound was like a fuse, immediately detonating Xia Jun who had been starving for a long time. Now that they finally broke into the city, someone burned the food, how could they not be angry.

Looking at these red-eyed, ferocious-faced Xia Jun, he knew what an enraged hungry wolf looked like. Not only were they crazy and cruel, but their eyes seemed to be eating people.

Facing the sword that was cutting towards him, Xia Jun no longer retreated, but drew his sword forward. They only had one thought now, to quickly kill all the enemies in front of them, and then go to fight the fire and rescue food.

All the Xia soldiers were blindfolded by the anger and killing, and rushed towards the Shang army like monsters who were not afraid of death.

Shang Jun, who had been mixed with Xia Jun, was scared. Before, they thought they were cruel enough, but the Xia Jun they faced today let them know what terror is.

As long as they don't kill them completely, Xia Jun will still charge towards them even if he has no hands. Instead of using their bodies to clear the way for the people behind, they want to bite them to death with their teeth.

The Shang army, which had been killed to the point of throwing away their helmets and armor, was terrified and began to drop their weapons and surrender, but what greeted them was not Xia Jun's acceptance but a ruthless sharp knife.

Standing on the city wall, Lin Zhan couldn't help but feel trembling when he saw Xia Jun who was lost in the killing below.

He finally knew how the elites under Bai Qi's command came from. They were piled up with human lives. In this battle, he estimated that no less than 100 million people died on both sides.

Now the streets of the whole city are paved with a thick layer of corpses, and even the houses on both sides are stained bright red with blood.

Lin Zhan thought that the current Xia Jun was crazy enough, but when he saw those Xia Jun who found that the food had been burnt to very little, he realized what it meant to be crazy.

Like locusts, they chased the deserters of the big businessmen and beheaded them, as if this was the only way to calm the ferocity in their hearts.

The Xia army soon collided with the reinforcements from other cities who came to support them. On the one hand, there were reinforcements recharging their energy, and on the other hand, murderous evil spirits. Then there was another fierce battle.

This battle was fought until dawn, until all the merchants were wiped out, but they couldn't stop because they didn't even eat, and dragged their tired bodies to continue attacking the surrounding cities.

After all the cities were captured, they finally closed their eyes and fell asleep. When they woke up, they found the packages on their bodies.

Once they opened it, there was no food, only silver taels like snowflakes, no one counted them, but it was definitely much more than their ten-year salary.

"I thought the ones you kept were food, but I didn't expect it was all taels of silver. Have you already calculated it since you set off?" Ximen Xue asked Bai Qi.

"As a general, you must look at the overall situation. If you don't even have this ability, how can you lead the army?" Bai Qi said in a flat voice.

On the other hand, Lin Zhan looked embarrassed. He could be regarded as a general guarding one side, but he also thought he couldn't think so long-term.

"Let them get up and eat, and continue to set off after eating," Bai Qi said lightly to Ximen Xue and Lin Zhan.

"Yes" Ximenxue and the two replied in unison.
