"This time, I have brought enough food, wages and medicinal materials. You arrange for people to distribute them. No matter what, we must feed everyone." If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to fight.
Half of these people died because of his sudden departure.
They're late!
Qin Jiyan didn't wait for Prince Pingxi to kneel down before he lifted him up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Prince. It's all Jiyan who came too late."
Qin Jiyan felt guilty towards Prince Pingxi. He threw everything and all responsibilities to Prince Pingxi willfully. Therefore, Qin Jiyan did not show off in front of Prince Pingxi.
He did not regret leaving the war to save Gu Qiancheng. Even if he had to do it again, he would still make this choice. But seeing the piles of corpses on the ground, Qin Jiyan couldn't help but blame himself and feel guilty.
Although it was not their fault, they had to bear half of the responsibility for the death of so many brothers on the battlefield.
"No, it's not too late. Your Highness came just in time. The old minister lived up to His Highness's expectations and defended the city." King Pingxi had already expected it, and even though he was excited, he quickly calmed down. "Now that His Highness is back, we can hopefully fight back the Xihu people."
"Your Highness..." Prince Pingxi saw Qin Jiyan stopping in front of the porridge shed and wanted to explain, but was stopped by Qin Jiyan, "You don't need to say anything, Prince, Jiyan understands what's going on."
This point Qin Jiyan mentioned made no sense to the officers and soldiers. They were not civil servants and did not know whether there was money in the treasury. As long as His Highness Qin said it, they knew it would be done. And the civil servant Feng Sijin, who knew the situation of the treasury, he Shi was not in the camp. Of course, even if Feng Sijin was in the camp, he would not stop him and let His Highness Qin fulfill his promise.
All the soldiers thought so, not to mention Qin Jiyan.
"Your Highness is wise." Prince Pingxi knew that Qin Jiyan would bring not only reinforcements, but also food.
He didn't regret it, but he couldn't suppress the guilt in his heart. As a result, Qin Jiyan lost his smile.
Especially Xihu, due to the hesitation of the two coaches, Xihu left the battlefield several steps later than King Zhao, and missed the best opportunity to leave...
The food he had before leaving was enough to last the army and the people in the city for more than ten days, but then so many reinforcements came that it would not last long with that little food.
The war was tense, so Qin Jiyan did not stay on the street for too long. He only showed up on the street to let the people in the city see that the great grandson of the Emperor of Qin had arrived with a large amount of food, grass, and reinforcements.
After riding back, they saw a messy battlefield and the soldiers of Da Qin looked silent.
After talking about the battle situation, King Pingxi reported to Qin Jiyan what they had done during this period. The brightest one was naturally the alienation plan promoted by Feng Sijin.
However, when Qin Jiyan defended the city, King Zhao's troops did not take action, so it was excusable. Qin Jiyan did not say anything about Pingxi County Prince, and of course there was no praise. He only promised that he would be injured and killed this time. For soldiers, their pensions will be increased, and he will supervise the whole process.
Thinking of this, Qin Jiyan couldn't help but have a headache...
As long as Qin Jiyan appears, the hearts of the people in the city will stabilize.
At that time, Feng Yao already had close friends in his hands. Xihu changed his generals before the battle, so Feng Yao could naturally occupy the land and become the king.
Of course, even if he wins, he is not a good person.
What happened to Feng Yao surprised Qin Jiyan, because Feng Sijin had exactly the same idea as him, but he didn't intend to make a fuss about Feng Yao's life experience so early. Qin Jiyan's original plan was to wait until the end of the fight between the two sides and the outcome was about to be decided before taking action.
Prince Pingxi felt guilty when talking about these figures, because he suffered far more casualties during the time he defended the city than when Qin Jiyan defended the city.
"Leave a group of people to survey the battlefield while the others enter the city." Qin Jiyan sat on his horse and gave the order in a cold voice, taking the lead and leading the people into the city.
"Yes, we will be able to drive out the Xihu people soon." Qin Jiyan let go of King Pingxi's hand and greeted the lieutenants one by one. After everyone exchanged greetings, they entered the city.
People are dead, and all they can do is make life better for the families of the soldiers who died in battle.
With 300,000 reinforcements, their current military strength is comparable to that of Xihu and King Zhao. They no longer need to passively counterattack, and they can drive the Xihu people out of Qin.
Qin Jiyan's sudden appearance immediately turned the tide of the battle. Even though King Zhao and Xihu's men had been prepared and quickly withdrew their troops, they still suffered heavy losses.
After showing his face on the street, Qin Jiyan signaled Prince Pingxi and a group of people to go to the camp. He wanted to understand the current situation.
In the city, Prince Pingxi had already brought people out to greet him. When he saw Qin Jiyan coming from a distance, he immediately dismounted his horse to greet him. Qin Jiyan did not take any advantage, and also dismounted his horse early and walked forward.
God knows how frightened he was during Qin Jiyan's absence.
"The Prince of Chu has already taken the bait. He has recently become quite popular in the army by buying soldiers and horses."
It was different when they arrived at the camp. Their discussions were all about major military matters, so no one else could listen.
…
The withdrawal of King Zhao and Xihu did not end the war. The reinforcements brought by King Qin chased him for dozens of miles and did not stop until they reached the place where Xihu and King Zhao camped.
God knows how much pressure he endured during Qin Jiyan's absence.
"Your Highness, you are finally here." The usually steady Prince Pingxi suddenly choked up when he saw Qin Jiyan.
Feng Sijin was trying to alienate her at this time, and she didn't know if Feng Yao had time to win people's hearts.
During the time he left, Da Qin faced wave after wave of attacks from Xihu and King Zhao. Nearly a hundred thousand soldiers died on the battlefield, and countless others were injured.
The city was in a mess, injured people and soldiers could be seen everywhere, and there were several porridge sheds and medicine sheds set up on the streets. Qin Jiyan went up to take a look. The porridge in the porridge shed was as thin as water and was not full at all. However, the people queuing up to receive the food did not complain at all.
Pingxi County Prince and others nodded repeatedly, and while walking, they talked about what happened during this period. It was not an important matter, and it didn't matter even if others heard it, but...
The Qin Dynasty was completely victorious in this battle, but no one could laugh. Everyone present looked solemn, looking at the scattered corpses on the ground, speechless and choked with sobs.
The Prince of Pingxi County spoke in great detail. It was normal for Qin Jiyan to hear Qin Yunchu's reaction. He had done this by himself, and the subsequent events were basically within his expectations.
If he loses this battle, he will be the sinner of Da Qin.
"Sihu still needs some effort, but with two deputy commanders here, Feng Yao must also know in his heart that Xihu doesn't believe him."
Prince Pingxi first reported the time, the number of battles between the two sides, and the casualties.
