For the emperor

At this time, the army of the Great Cang Kingdom was wandering outside the second largest city of the Yue Kingdom—Yemi City, setting up camp and cooking.

Yemi City usually only has 20 standing troops. At this time, there are 20 troops temporarily gathered in the city to resist the Cang Kingdom's army.These [-] people were transferred from the garrison in the capital by Yue Li, the ruler of Yue Kingdom. It can be said that they are the most elite troops in Yue Kingdom. To break through Ye Mi City, at least [-] corpses need to be left behind.

Cang Tiansu sat right in front of the military tent, quietly watching the several generals who were arguing endlessly over the method of siege, and tapped his fingers on the table.

On his left sat a row of disciples of the Cang family, lined up in order of age, and Cang Tianci, who was at the front, leaned forward very seriously to listen to the discussions of the generals.

In the past six months, he has experienced pain that he has never experienced in the past 22 years. He has to trek for at least six hours a day. Once he encounters special circumstances, it is common to march in the middle of the night. He eats cornmeal steamed buns and drinks millet porridge , it is difficult to see the meaty vegetables.

This kind of experience brought his guilt towards Cang Tiansu to a new height. Cang Tianci only knew that the military life was hard, but he didn’t expect it to be so hard. Thinking that his elder brother had experienced such a difficult life since he was 12 years old, and thinking about it In fact, I was the fuse that caused him to be so miserable, and the heaven-sent mood became more and more depressed day by day.

Apart from unsatisfactory life, Cang Tianci also has other minor troubles. Ever since the ex-empress and the Liu family were in trouble, and Emperor Cang Jing bestowed the third son to Cang Tiansu as a favor, Cang Tianci has never seen his third brother again.

Now, I can't see him when I look up, but Cang Tianrui doesn't remember who the circling man in front of me is. His brain has become a mess and he only recognizes the face of his owner, Cang Tiansu.

Cang Tianci tried to strike up a conversation several times but failed, seeing Cang Tianrui hopping and running over to beg for food as soon as his elder brother was free, he could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, Cang Tiansu glanced around lazily, put his hand in mid-air to stop the heated debate, and simply asked: "General Xu, a conservative estimate, how many people in our army will die if you use your method?"

Xu Xi choked for a moment. This war is based on the probability of success, not on the number of dead. How could he ask such a question?So he replied: "About 8 people, but there is a [-]% success rate."

Cang Tiansu nodded inscrutablely, and turned to look at Li Renqiang on the other side: "What about General Li's method?"

"...If everything goes well, only more than 5 people will die, but the risk will be relatively high." Li Renqiang replied realistically. In fact, his method is indeed not as good as Xu Zhi's, but after all, it can save half of the deaths.

Cang Tiansu looked around and chuckled: "Then your methods are not as good as mine. Come and lead an army to besiege the city. In the next half month, don't let a single fly fly from the city. In and out! Once you find someone who wants to forcefully break through the encirclement, no matter the enemy or us, as long as there is no warrant from me, you will be killed immediately on the spot."

Li Renqiang's face turned pale, he was swept away by his clear gaze, and he didn't swallow the words immediately: "But your majesty, there are not only 20 elite troops of Yue Kingdom in the city, but also 30 civilians..."

Xu Zhi silently lowered his head.

"You also said that there are 20 troops in the city, and they are the most experienced and well-equipped central troops." Cang Tiansu took a deep look at him, with a gentle smile on his face, "The 30 Yue The people of the country, I don't think they are as important as our [-] troops."

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and the ratio of six to one is life-changing. Cang Tiansu doesn't feel that this business is a loss. Even if he loses his reputation, he can still make a fortune.

——What's more, he wants to completely destroy the morale of Yue's army, and he wants to tell the whole world that Cang's iron cavalry is invincible.

Li Renqiang didn't say anything more, the combat meeting ended here, and more than twenty people came out of the main tent of the army one after another.

Cang Tianci staggered, his face was pale and bloodless.

The third prince, Cang Tianrui, stayed in the tent as usual and did not come out. The fourth prince, Cang Tianxuan, pulled his two younger brothers to stop his second brother: "Second brother, why didn't I understand what the elder brother meant today?"

It would be a bit embarrassing to say that I didn't understand, but if you don't understand, you have to ask. The mother concubine also specifically reminded him that this trip is full of dangers, and he should be more cautious. For his own life, Cang Tianxuan behaved very humbly and eager to learn.

Cang Tianci was in an extremely bad mood, turned his head to look at them for a while, and sighed: "Yemi City used to have only 5 standing troops, but now the Emperor of Yue has stuffed 20 people in, how long do you think the food in the city will last?" Time? Although this is the second largest city, because of the flames of war, most of the people have packed up their belongings and fled elsewhere. Nine out of ten households in the city are empty, and there is still some food in the military supply depot.”

"...You mean, big brother plans to starve to death the 50 people inside?" Cang Tianjing couldn't help holding his breath, fear and excitement coexisted in his words.

No, it should be said that excitement took up more weight, and this tone made Cang Tianci and Cang Tianxuan look at it strangely.

Cang Tianrong was terrified when he heard it, and felt completely different from his twin brother, seeing his reaction so horribly, he hurriedly tugged at his sleeve in a hidden place.

A bunch of cowards, Cang Tianjing was very disdainful, he felt that he was the only one in the world who could understand the twisted beauty hidden in the big brother's killing behavior, he looked over, not to be outdone, with a little disdain in his eyes: "Before in Pingye City, Aren’t there more residents inside? My eldest brother didn’t hesitate to massacre the city when he was 16 years old, let alone now, a small Ye Mi City is nothing to be afraid of, not worth mentioning.”

"It's better to hack people to death than to starve them to death. These seven years have passed, and my eldest brother has grown up..." Cang Tianci really couldn't bear to see such a heinous cruelty, and couldn't bear it for a long time. Stop, opened his mouth and said sarcastically.

Although the people of Yemi City are Yue people, aren't Yue people human?The lives of the soldiers of the Cang Kingdom are their lives. Could it be that the lives of the people of the Yue Kingdom are pigs, dogs, donkeys and horses?Big brother actually did such a thing, it has already destroyed people's hearts and humanity...

"Second brother!" Cang Tiansu's main account is next to him. He suddenly said such words, looking for death. Cang Tianrong interrupted hastily, frowning, "It's getting late, and second brother hasn't rested recently. Alright, my brother will help you go back and rest."

Among all the brothers, apart from Cang Tianjing, Cang Tianrong and Cang Tianci get along best, even though they haven't spoken a few words, but Cang Tianrong is very envious of Cang Tianci's clear values ​​of black and white.

What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. There is no ambiguity or compromise. This is the privilege that only the darling of heaven who grows up with love and everything goes smoothly.Cang Tianrong sighed softly in his heart, he was envious and even jealous of such happiness bestowed by the heaven.

Cang Tianci glanced at him, then nodded silently, as if he had received Cang Tianrong's kindness, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Cang Tianxuan hesitated for a moment, but still left obediently.Leaving Cang Tianjing blinking at his younger brother, he pulled his wrist: "Let's go, let's go find Big Brother!"

"You're crazy, what are you doing looking for him?" Cang Tianrong hastily stopped her.

The smile on Cang Tianjing's face paused, and he looked him up and down with a weird look that couldn't be concealed, and the corners of his lips curled up in a half-smile: "Why, don't you want to see big brother?"

"You...don't talk nonsense..." Cang Tianrong bit his lower lip and said in a low voice when his cheeks were flushed, "What bad idea do you have?"

"Oh, how could it be a bad idea? Didn't you listen to what the second brother said just now? There is still food in the warehouse in Yemi City, and those people can still last for a while." Cang Tianjing's eyes flashed with a stern and cold light However, "If someone can burn the stored food with a torch, we will spend less time occupying this city!"

Cangtian Rong's three souls went to Liupo, and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be kidding, it's pitiful enough for them to starve to death, why do you do such a detrimental thing for a few days in advance?"

Cang Tianjing looked at him with an innocent look on his face: "Actually, this can be said in reverse, since they will starve to death sooner or later, why don't you just give me the great credit for a few days in the morning? ?”

Cang Tianrong stared at him in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.

Cang Tianjing persisted and said: "Besides, don't you see that the elder brother brought us all here this time to provide us with the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. If we don't grasp it well, we will settle the account when we go back to Jingjing." It's time."

It's not that Cang Tianrong didn't notice this matter, and after hearing it, her expression became more complicated.

Cang Tianjing didn't give him any more time to think deeply, and as soon as he grabbed his hand and was about to enter the main tent, he saw a soldier in armor running over in a hurry, shouting "Happy news, good news, Yemi City Armaments!" The warehouses were burned, and they had no food rations."

Both of them were taken aback, Cang Tianjing turned to look at Cang Tianrong and complained: "Look, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have told my elder brother just now, although he has thought of this a long time ago, the credit is not worth it. Come on me, at least I can show my loyalty!"
