Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

The smoke and dust billowed, and the flames shot into the sky.

The sound of shouting and killing all over the sky gradually disappeared, and the battlefield was full of corpses, returning to tranquility.

On the hillside, Luna was silently watching what happened in the distance, followed by Da Si Ming, Black and White Shao Si Ming and Yun Zhongjun.

"The Chu people's granary is over!"

Luna shook his head and sighed.

When the battle first started, although Luna felt that the Chu army was no match for the Han army, he did not expect that the Chu army would be defeated so quickly.

There are more than 3000 elites, but as if the leaves are blown by the autumn wind, they are beaten by the Han army so hard that they can't take care of themselves.

"I didn't expect the Han army to be so brave that they easily captured the Chu people's granaries."

Since the start of the battle, Da Si Ming's beautiful eyes have been falling on Cao Chao.

Looking at the handsome back; the heroic figure wielding the long sword to kill the enemy bravely; the trembling force value, Da Si Ming suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Yun Zhongjun on the side seemed to have something that he couldn't figure out, so he frowned and asked,

"The troops who can be stationed here to guard the granary should be the elite of the Chu army.

"However, in the battle just now, the old man watched from beginning to end. When the Han army raided the granary, the Chu army's command was wrong, and the end could not be connected.

"The Han army just made a simple charge and completely defeated the Chu army.

"This is really unbelievable, there must be something strange about this matter!"

"Bad command?"

After listening to Yun Zhongjun's analysis, Da Si Ming suddenly realized something: "Could it be that..."

"That's right, the general in charge of guarding the granary may have been assassinated long ago."

Luna looked sternly, quietly watching the Han army below sweeping the battlefield.

But the next moment, her eyes became surprised.

"What are they doing?"

Chapter 300

Luna looked at the scene in the distance with a face full of surprise.

Countless people were flocking to the granary, but the Han army did not drive them away, but began to distribute the grain instead.

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass. Food and grass could directly determine the outcome of a war, so Cao Chao distributed it to these common people.

Just outrageous!

"Why did he distribute food and grass to the people?"

Da Si Ming beside him asked with a puzzled expression.

However, no one present could answer this question.

After a long time, Yun Zhongjun suddenly came to his senses, slapped his thigh,

"Ruthless! This move is too ruthless!"

Seeing the other people looking at him in unison, Yun Zhongjun didn't show off.

"Although Wu and Guizhou counties were originally the land of Chu, they were occupied by the Qin people 30 years ago. During this period, they experienced several relocations. There are already a large number of Qin people living here.

"Now that the two counties have suddenly changed hands, it is a time when people are panicking.

"That's why the King of Han planned to use the grain of the Chu people to buy people's hearts."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately understood, with an incredible expression on their faces.

I don't know what the King of Han's mind is thinking, but he can come up with such a clever plan.

However, before they could speak, Yun Zhongjun continued with a mysterious face:

“And there’s another layer to this move.”

The disciples immediately became interested, and all of them pricked up their ears, waiting for Yun Zhongjun to continue.

"After the people of Chu lost their granary, there would be a shortage of food in the army.

"In this way, there are only two choices, either continue to transport grain from Chu, or collect grain from the people.

"If the Chu people choose to continue transporting grain, the Han army can continue to harass the Chu people's grain roads in the wild with this elite cavalry.

"In the long run, the Chu army may lose a lot of food and grass, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals."

"Then what if the Chu people choose to collect food from the people?"

Having said that, Luna finally did not continue to maintain that cold temperament, and took the initiative to ask.

She wanted to find out how powerful this Cao Chao was.

"hehe"

Yun Zhongjun said with a sneer: "If the Chu people choose to collect grain from the people, it will definitely offend the people here.

"It has aroused public resentment, and I am afraid that even if the Chu people win this battle, they will not be able to stay here.

"With the support of the Chu people, as long as the King of Han leads his army again, the people here will definitely eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.

Unexpectedly, a small act of food distribution has so many twists and turns.

This person is so scheming!

Thinking of this, all the Yin-Yang disciples felt a little more respect for Cao Chao, and they all felt that it was right for Concubine Yan to get close to the King of Han.

But what everyone didn't notice was that although the expression on Luna's face remained unchanged at this moment, there was a trace of curiosity in the eyes of the man in the golden armor looking at the distance.

"Cao Chao, interesting!"

……

Wucheng, inside the city lord's mansion.

"What, you said that the Pingyi warehouse was breached by the Han army, and the Han army also distributed the grain and grass in the warehouse to the people?"

Zhao Baixi looked in disbelief at the scout who came back to report.

There are three granaries in Wujun. Although Pingyi granary is the smallest of them, there are a full 60 shi of grain and grass in it, which is enough for a hundred thousand troops for a month.

Now that he said nothing, it was gone, how would he explain to the court?

What's more serious is that the Han army actually used the grain in the warehouse to help the people.

This is simply the generosity of others to buy people's hearts, it is really abominable!

"How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?"

"About two or three thousand, all cavalry!"

The scout accompanied him and replied cautiously.

"waste!"

Zhao Baixi scolded angrily: "There are [-] elite guards in the Pingyi warehouse, and there is a tall city wall to rely on, but they still can't stop the enemy's attack.

"It's just a bunch of trash!"

After venting, Zhao Baixi's face became very ugly, and he ordered,

"Come here, inform Anyicang and Fengyicang, and tell them to guard the city and beware of the enemy's attack!"

However, as soon as the words fell, another scout ran in.

"Urgent report!

"Fengyi warehouse was breached by the Han army, and the defender was killed!"

"what?"

Zhao Baixi grabbed the scout who came to report the news by the collar, and pulled him over.

"Where's the grain and grass in the barn?"

"They were all captured by the enemy, and the Han army is distributing food to the local people."

"..."

After Zhao Baixi heard this, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

"Made Cao Chao, I will be at odds with you!"

The regret in Zhao Baixi's heart!

If he had known that this kid was so powerful, he should have ordered him to be shot on the spot when he met at the gate of Shouchun City, so he wouldn't have made such a big fuss now.

Losing two granaries in a row is a serious problem.

If he can't make a remedy in time, I'm afraid even the King of Chu won't be able to protect him anymore.

The most important thing now is to keep the last granary!

Thinking of this, Zhao Baixi immediately ordered.

"Pass down the order for Zhuo Chong to lead an army of [-] to Anyi Cang.

"Be sure to keep it for me!"

"promise!"

……

However, what Zhao Baixi didn't know was that the army he sent out was targeted by wolves as soon as they left the city gate.

Chapter 301

Wushan, the mountains stretch endlessly.

The mountains are perennially foggy and visibility is extremely poor.
