"How?" Mu Xiong asked calmly. But his tired eyes revealed his nervousness at the moment.
The messenger pursed his lips tightly and raised his head, his red eyes full of guilt and self-blame. Looking into Mu Xiong's hopeful eyes, he said angrily: "Old General, they are trying to force us to death!"
"What happened?" Mu Xiong narrowed his eyes and asked hurriedly.
Surrounding him, the lieutenants wearing Mu family armor also expressed their nervousness towards the messenger.
The messenger's lips were trembling, and his chest was like a drum.
He clenched his frayed hands into fists. Faced with Mu Xiong's inquiry, he choked and said: "My subordinates were ordered to collect military rations, but all they got was that there was no food. However, my subordinates clearly saw that everyone in Seoul was rich. , the food was abundant. As a last resort, my subordinates went to General Han Yu for help, but General Han Yu said that his own military supplies were not enough, and without the emperor's order, he did not dare to borrow it privately. "
"Where is Governor Han?" Mu Xiong asked sharply. There was already raging anger hidden in the tiger's eyes.
Not only him, but also the lieutenants on the left and right were all full of fierceness and wanted to rush to other cities to grab food.
"Warlord Han?" The messenger's face became even more angry: "My subordinates have gone to him to beg him many times, but he has repeatedly refused. Every time, he said that he was making preparations and asked us to wait for a few more days and hold on for a few more days. His subordinates did not believe him. , secretly followed him, only to find that he was having fun every day and did not prepare military rations at all. The subordinate was so angry that he went to find him again, but he beat him twenty times and drove him out. "
"asshole!"
"brute!"
"This bastard!"
The words of the messenger made the lieutenants almost go berserk.
Mu Xiong's face was gloomy, his lips tightened into a line, and he didn't say a word.
"Old General, let's send a message to Miss Rong! If we delay it any longer, all of our five hundred thousand soldiers will die here!" a deputy general begged.
Mu Xiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have sent a message to Luodu a long time ago, but there has been no response. Not only from the emperor, but also from Lian Rong."
"What!"
"how so!"
"In this case, wouldn't our Yicheng become an isolated city?!"
The generals were shocked.
"How can we fight this war without military supplies and food?" Some people have begun to feel discouraged.
Mu Xiong took a deep breath, suppressed the surging anger in his chest, and said with sharp eyes: "We must fight! If we lose, how will the tens of millions of people behind us deal with themselves? Our Mu family army has no other purpose. It’s just for my fellow citizens of Great Qin!”
Mu Xiong's words silenced the generals.
Their hearts were unwilling and full of anger. But, so what? They are all staunch men of the Mu family army, how can they ignore the lives of the people behind them
Once the city of Yi was destroyed, there was no longer a city in the northwest corner of Qin that could stop the beasts. Moreover, if Yi City is destroyed and the Mu family army is destroyed, Tuguo, who has been eyeing Qin with covetous eyes, will also take the opportunity to invade.
'Your Majesty, why can't you see through it? The veteran has never shown disloyalty, why are you still so suspicious? Mu Xiong raised his head silently, the tears in his eyes could only be swallowed in his heart.
Woohoo!
The battle horn sounded again.
This urgent horn is the signal for the beast tide to attack again.
Mu Xiong was startled, calmed down his complicated emotions, led the generals, walked out of the room, and stood on the city wall where the smoke billowed.
Roar!
Hoho!
Ouch!
Ouch!
