The disgraced soldiers rushed in with a loud "poof", knelt heavily on the ground, and wailed: "General, our food and grass have been burned!"
The uneasiness in Ho Gefan's heart continued to grow, and he asked cautiously: "Which granary was burned?"
There was very little sound, as if he was worried that if he asked louder, the three granaries would be burned down!
It’s no big deal to burn one.
They captured a city and returned.
"Three... all three were burned! We tried our best to put out the fire, but we couldn't save them!" cried the disgraced soldier.
Hou Gefan felt like the sky was spinning and the sky was about to fall.
All three were burned
How can this be
He yelled at the top of his lungs: "Didn't I ask you to keep the food and grass? How could it be burned! How could they all be burned! What will the army eat next? Eat shit?"
The disgraced soldier was sprayed with saliva and was so frightened that he lay on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
Because Di Junming heard the noise, he came over to take a look. He didn't expect to receive such bad news, and he looked in disbelief at this moment.
"How is it possible that all three granaries have been burned down? Huh? What are so many people guarding? Are you dead? Cut them all down! Cut them down!" Emperor Ming became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally lost his temper. I had to kick the stool in front of me away.
The soldier trembled with fear and said, "It was King Jin of Nalan Kingdom. He led his men to burn it!"
Di Junming was so angry that he clenched his fists and punched a huanghuali wood coffee table. The coffee table cracked with a sound. He gritted his teeth and said from between his teeth: "Nalan Jinnian!"
It’s Nalan Jinnian again!
After a long while, he suppressed the anger in his heart that was as violent as the sea and looked at Hou Gefan: "Strengthen the guard and guard the eighth princess of Nalan Kingdom! How much food has Nalan Jinnian burned for us today? Tomorrow I will ask for a grain of him." Come back one by one!
Also, find out how Nalan Jinnian knew the location of our army’s food and grass! There must be a spy in our army. If he is caught, he will be punished with death!
And arrange for people to search carefully to see how much emergency food can be found! …”
Di Junming made all arrangements.

Just when a team of 1,000 people from the Beiming Kingdom began to search the city for food from house to house, Wen Nuan and Cao Zihao had already led 30,000 soldiers and thousands of people to leave from the secret passage and walked through Puning Mountain for a day. One night, we arrived at Yongding City.
When the soldiers of Yongding City saw the appearance of 30,000 troops, they shouted excitedly: "The army is back! The army is back! There are many people! Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly!"
The heavy city gate was slowly opened.
Outside the city, there were two long teams, walking in uniform steps from far to near.
The "ta-da" footsteps gradually became louder and clearer.
On the city wall, a silver figure looked at the beautiful figure in silver armor at the front of the team, his eyes full of gentleness.
The little girl is in high spirits, it seems that this battle has gained a lot.
Inside the city gate, people from Yongping County were waiting.
Some were waiting for the return of their husband's son, and some were waiting for news. Everyone looked worried and anxious.
Worried that his son, father-in-law or brother was injured behind the enemy.
I am worried that my home will be damaged.
Worried about never seeing his family again.
Worried about never returning to my homeland.
... ... .
At this moment, I heard that the army was coming back!
Everyone's faces couldn't help but show a look of anticipation. They all stood on tiptoes, eagerly waiting to see if the person they were thinking about would appear in the team.
The golden sun sets in the west, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun falls on the faces of these hopeful people, all of them full of hope.
Nuan Nuan took the lead and entered the city.
Cao Zihao followed her and smiled at the dense crowds of people on both sides: "Victory! Our army destroyed the local army of 100,000 with 30,000 troops! Retaking Yongding County and Beifeng County is just around the corner! The people who stayed in Yongping County, Not a single one is left behind, they are all back! All our soldiers are back safely!"
In the end, Cao Zihao shouted out!
For the families of soldiers on the battlefield, nothing is more important than returning home safely!
"yeah!"
... ...
Loud cheers resounded throughout the sky!
The people were so happy that they jumped up!
Under the golden sunshine, the joyful smiles on everyone's faces at this moment are so dazzling and warm!
It seems like this harsh winter is no longer cold!
No matter how thick the snow is!

in the camp
Celebration banquet
Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian stood up holding their wine glasses.
Wen Nuan smiled at the 30,000 troops and thousands of civilians participating in the battle: "Today we destroyed 100,000 enemy troops, all thanks to everyone's cooperation, bravery and wit. Thank you for your hard work! I'd like to toast all the soldiers, feel free to do whatever you want! Best wishes for the future In the war, we will be invincible along the way, drive away the enemy troops in Beiming, and regain the lost city as soon as possible."
Nalan Jinnian also raised his glass to everyone and said only two words: "We must win!"
Then he drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone stood up one after another, raised their glasses and shouted: "We must win!"
Next, Cao Zihao and several generals gave toasts to Nalan Jinnian, the soldiers, and the common people participating in the war. After the toasts, everyone sat together happily eating meat and drinking wine. Talk loudly.
Some people say that when the city gate is opened, 20,000 soldiers make 300,000 enemy troops fly into chaos!
Some people said that they were hiding in a corner and killed several enemy troops.
Some people said that they were discovered by the enemy, and how Nuan Nuan appeared in time and lured all the enemy away, allowing him to escape.
Some people say that the enemy troops in Beiming were so panicked after they found out that their own side was missing nearly 100,000 people after a night of fighting!
Some people say that Nuan Nuan is so powerful. Thousands of enemy troops are chasing her, and countless rain arrows are shooting at her, but she is still safe!
... ... .
Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan sat at the main seats, listening to everyone talk with joy, and everyone had a small glass of wine in front of them.
Wine can make people happy, but it can also bring bad things, so everyone was only given one cup, and everyone took a sip when they talked about what they were happy about.
After filling her stomach with warmth, she took a sip from the wine glass and looked at everyone with a smile.
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the sky and held Nuan Nuan's hand on the table.
Nuan Nuan turned to look at him, asking with eyes: "Huh?"
"It's night, let's go back to the house?"
Nuan Nuan glanced at everyone. Everyone was still talking excitedly, but all the food on the table had been eaten and the wine had been drunk long ago. They just couldn't bear to leave.
The joy of victory always makes people so addicted to it that they never want to leave.
Nuan Nuan thought that Nalan Jinnian had not slept much, and nodded: "Okay!"
After receiving a warm nod, Nalan Jinnian said to Cao Zihao: "Let's disperse now! Let everyone have a good rest!"
Cao Zihao hurriedly responded.
There is still one hour left in the ion time.
Military discipline is strict, and you can celebrate a victory, but you must rest before midnight. After all, only by recharging your energy can you face the next war.
