However, no matter how ruthless General Li was, Jiang Yunqi still refused to admit that he had anything to do with stealing grain.
So the granary theft case was shelved.
When the soldiers in the army learned about this, their morale was really thrown into chaos. They even scrambled for food for fear that they would have nothing to eat for the next meal.
It was only after General Li used severe punishment to serve as a warning to others that this behavior was stopped.
However, as long as the granary issue is not resolved, the soldiers will not be relieved and the morale of the army will be affected.
Of course, this is a good thing for Mingyue.
If Mingyue and Qin Xingye's ultimate goal was not to stop the war, she would have taken the opportunity to do a lot of things, and by that time, the entire Thirteenth Army Camp would no longer exist.
But she just couldn't bear to do it.
Mingyue and Qin Xingye have been trying to find a solution all along, a win-win solution.
However, after reading the information about the Wu royal family sent by Qin Xingye, Mingyue felt depressed and uncomfortable all over.
Because apart from the one sitting on the throne who wanted to unify the world, the princes and princes under him were all restless, secretly raising secret guards, stationing troops, smelting iron, etc., all of them hoping to raise an army and sit on the throne in the future!
The royal family of Wu seemed to have warlike blood in their bones and never thought about stopping the war.
As for the officials below, all of them were in favor of war, for the simple reason that those in favor of peace had all been killed by the emperor.
Originally Mingyue was thinking that if there was a suitable candidate, she could help him take the position so that the Wu and Song countries could sign a treaty of peaceful coexistence. But now it seems that her wishful thinking was just a lie.
In this case, the only way is to end the war with war.
Only when the world is unified can we achieve true peace.
Even in this era, this is only a short period of peace, but it is enough for the people to recuperate.
But in this case, the Thirteenth Army Camp can move.
After Mingyue made the decision, she conveyed her thoughts to Qin Xingye in a letter. After all, he was the master and he had to make the final decision on the matter.
Before this, Mingyue learned about Jiang Yunqi's miserable condition from Wan Yu. Her brows relaxed instantly and she slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, she also had to tell Wan Yu: "Jiang Yunqi cannot be allowed to die. Even if he only has one breath left, he must be alive."
For the original owner's wish, Jiang Yunqi had to live.
Although Wan Yu didn't understand why, he still nodded and said, "Yes."
However, only three days later, Mingyue received a reply from Qin Xingye, which contained only one word: "Yes."
At the same time, Qin Xingye also sent all the bandits trained by Mingyue over.
Although Qin Xingye said on the surface that he wanted to give her a helper that she could use easily, it would also help her achieve her goal as soon as possible.
In fact, before leaving, those bandits were summoned personally by the city lord. The most important task given to them by the city lord was to ensure the safety of Mr. Song.
This made the bandits very excited. Some of their brothers had said before that the boss was a liar and that the city lord would not pay attention to small people like them.
As a result, the Lord of the City met them in person, and they were indeed the Lord of the City's personal guards. When Mingyue learned about this, her eyes moved slightly, and then she pretended to be a matter of course, and turned around to draw a bigger pie.
The saying that as long as the task is accomplished, one could be granted a title of nobility or become a general was regarded as the truth by a group of uneducated bandits.
They were not afraid of life and death, dangers and difficulties, and some people actually made it to the end. Even a bandit born in the mountains became a truly outstanding general.
It’s a pity that more bandits died. After all, they were always the soldiers rushing to the front and doing the most dangerous things. Their death made people sigh.
Of course, this is something.
Mingyue waited for about half a month. Thousands of bandits entered the city in batches and now they had finally arrived.
Mingyue had already arranged accommodation for them and even found them jobs. Thousands of people integrated into the city seamlessly as soon as they entered.
Originally, these bandits were ordinary refugees before they became mountain bandits. It was so easy for them to act out their previous lifestyles now that no one could spot any flaws.
Now that everyone is here, it’s time to get started.
Mingyue did not take action from the Thirteenth Army Camp because the opportunity to act had passed, so she took her men to ambush a Wu army on the border.
This team had about two thousand people. They were stationed on the border between Song and Wu with Wu's 100,000-strong army. They would attack Song from time to time. This time, the two thousand people were out on patrol, but they did not expect to be ambushed by bandits and lost two-thirds of their people in one night.
After all, Mingyue has few people, so they play a guerrilla warfare of surprise, also known as changing locations after one shot.
By the time the 100,000-strong army of Wu came, Mingyue and her bandits had already returned to the city of Wu and transformed themselves into ordinary businessmen and people carrying bags and setting up stalls on the streets.
In this way, Mingyue and others went out to fight guerrilla warfare every now and then, but their appearance was irregular, which made it difficult for the Wu soldiers to defend themselves and they were overwhelmed.
The Song army seemed to have noticed this as well, and they spontaneously cooperated with Mingyue and his group to launch an offensive. The Wu army was immediately caught in a double attack.
The commander of Wu State watched the number of soldiers decrease day by day, but he had no way to deal with those shameless people of Song State who ran away after beating people. Finally, he could only ask for support from the higher-ups.
While the Emperor of Wu reprimanded his commander for his incompetence, he sent soldiers from the Thirteenth Military Camp closest to the border over there. After all, there were 50,000 soldiers, so let's give it a try first.
More than ten days ago, the theft of the granary was not concealed from the higher-ups, and General Li was imprisoned and stripped of his power.
Lieutenant General Wang did not end up well either. The new commander wanted to hold all the power, so he put Lieutenant General Wang in jail as General Li's incompetent deputy.
Jiang Yunqi, who was still in prison, was released and returned to the recruit camp. Oh, now he is going to the border with the army.

While Mingyue was busy harassing the Wu army, Qin Xingye was also busy trying to usurp the throne and seize power.
In fact, in Shu City and several large cities around Shu City, the people there only knew the Lord of Shu City, but did not know the emperor on the dragon throne.
It’s just that Qin Xingye didn’t sit in the highest position, and he didn’t have the ability to control the overall situation, so he couldn’t wait any longer.
And now is the best opportunity, because the emperor took the so-called elixir of immortality and was poisoned. Now he is unconscious. The court urgently needs someone to come out and take charge of the situation.
Those princes are very young and have not yet had the ceremony of coming of age. They are simply not capable of supporting the current Song Dynasty.
Qin Xingye was very popular among the people, and many ministers in the court secretly joined him. Even the emperor's harem had his people.
As the saying goes, the right time, the right place and the right people.
