Chapter 114 The Nature of War
When Dumu tasted the sweet chicken soup, he wiped his mouth and felt it was extremely delicious and thanked with a smile.
Afterwards, Zhao Xiaonian asked him a question.
"Who do you think is the disadvantage now and who is the advantage?"
Speaking of this, Dum is naturally about to speak.
He smiled and pressed his chest and said, "Your Highness's pride is like an eagle in the sky, but I have to admit that you have been defeated twice in a row and retreated nearly two hundred miles. You have arrived in Hassi and have no choice but to retreat. Of course, we Tubo won!"
"Is that true?" Zhao Xiaonian laughed: "How many days can your Tubo army last? How long can your cattle and sheep last for you to eat?"
"Uh... this is a secret, I don't know either!"
"Confidential? Messenger, I won't tell you something so complicated, just put it simply!"
Zhao Xiaonian said seriously: "Do you know the biggest difference between my Dajian people and you Tubo people?"
"This..." Dum shook his head.
They are all humans, what's the difference?
He hasn't really studied this.
"Diet!" Zhao Xiaonian calmly analyzed to him: "You Tubo people need to consume beef and mutton every day, and they need to drink milk. Moreover, your beast army consumes a lot of meat!"
"..." Dum didn't say anything, but he had already started thinking in his mind.
"What do we Dajian people eat every day? Rice, noodles, and then meat. Now the most basic dry food in our army is pancakes and meat. The meat that I consume is only three taels of meat per day! And what about you Tubo people? How much meat is consumed every day? Not to mention other things, how much meat is consumed by the beast army every day?"
Zhao Xiaonian's eyes flashed and he said coldly: "The rice and grain storage I built are all fixed. It is not a problem for a hundred thousand troops to persist in Hassi for a month, but how long can you Tubo people last in Hassi?"
"Uh..." Dum wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say it.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaonian continued: "Let's talk about war. The fastest way to make a person die is to kill him, but what's the fastest way to make tens of thousands of people die?"
"this……"
"Did you let them starve to death?"
"Ah? This!"
Suddenly, Dumu's eyes began to roll and he wanted to speak.
Zhao Xiaonian added: "You see, I don't have to worry about food and clothing here, but you can't even eat a chicken in Zidan Zhuoji. Tell me that you can last for a month in Tubo's surplus grain? Haha, I'm afraid it's hard for a week! Zidan Zhuoji has done something to feed bears with war dogs. Now the two armies are fighting, and if he kills all those dogs as meat, then you Tubo people can't even jump up in front of my 200,000 army! If you don't kill, then do you kill horses as meat or dig grass roots and eat tree bark?"
At this moment, Dumu's brow frowned and became a little nervous. His eyes were rolling round after round, and he couldn't help but look up at Zhao Xiaonian.
"That's right, I'm just delaying time to lure Zidan Zhuoji to lengthen the front line. I really think I'm so stupid and would agree to such an unfair duel? I just don't want to lose my Dajian soldiers. It's the same war. I spent 30,000 lives to take down Tubo. After returning to China, everyone thought that Zhao Xiaonian had won the battle! But if I don't die alone, I will destroy you Tubo, what kind of formation will it be for me to return to China?"
"this!"
The messenger Dumu's face turned pale, and only then did he feel Zhao Xiaonian's horror and power!
No wonder he could easily kill Duomei Zhuoji!
No wonder the Emperor of Liao who could defeat him lost his capital!
There is definitely a reason for this!
"There are also a number of cattle and sheep on the grassland. I know exactly how many cattle and sheep you have left!"
"ah?"
Zhao Xiaonian said coldly: "Didn't the sheep you sent from Duma have arrived yet?"
"What?" Dum was shocked.
This is a military secret. How did Zhao Xiaonian know? There were more than 300 sheep in total. They should have arrived at the military camp three days ago, but they have not seen it in the past three days. Zidan Zhuoji was angry and sent someone out to look for it yesterday to see what happened. Why did Zhao Xiaonian know today?
Could it be said?
"My wolf also needs to be full!" Zhao Xiaonian said lightly.
Suddenly, Dumu's mind exploded, that is to say, more than 300 sheep had been eaten up by the prairie wolf pack controlled by Zhao Xiaonian!
this……
I immediately understood it.
What he said was not false, everything was under his calculations.
He can control the wolf, but he does not fight the Black Bear Army head-on. Why is this? Isn’t it just to play the greatest role of the wolf pack?
Zidan Zhuoji is now worried about the supply of cattle and sheep! He destroyed the Derilangji family and robbed a batch of cattle and sheep. This is the confidence of Zidan Zhuoji to fight this war. However, with the stalemate of the war, these two duels took a lot of time and several tug-of-wars. Not to mention the results of the battle, the troops consumed a large number outside. Now that autumn is approaching, there are few cattle and sheep, and the supply of the team has become more and more prominent.
Just like last night, Zidan Zhuoji was still discussing with everyone to win the war as soon as possible, either return to the Potala Palace to inherit Zamp's position, or fight the border and plunder the great construction.
However, the latter is obviously impossible. With this period of war, not to mention the supply issue, even the news of the large-scale construction and the number of troops increased by 100,000 has completely lost hope.
This is how Dajian wants to fight against him to the end. Tubo is a small country, and the military power gap is too big. It would be good to be able to defend his homeland.
Therefore, last night, several staff members proposed to end the war as soon as possible, and after returning, they squeezed food from several small Indian countries captured on the southern front, so that they could pass the severe winter this year first.
But I didn't expect that Dumu would hear such clear-minded words when he came to Zhao Xiaonian today.
"I heard that Dagon Living Buddha is still visiting Zidan Zhuoji?"
"yes!"
"Well, a good thing! One more person and one more mouth. I heard that Dagon Living Buddha brought more than two hundred people!"
Dum's sweat came down...
"Emunique, go back and tell Zidan Zhuoji that he will either fight alone or wait for the final battle. He has thought about it and thought about it. Then! Slowly! Let me tell me! I don't mind waiting for a few more days!"
"Yes!" Dumu's face looked ugly, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaonian. At this moment, he was calm and did not care at all.
"By the way," Zhao Xiaonian added: "I asked someone to pack a chicken for you, don't be polite! Su Leng is a confused person. It's fine if he doesn't understand the principle that his arm can't twist his thighs. Don't just be like a fool. If you insist on causing trouble, then I can only overcorrect it and help you Tubo transform well!"
Zhao Xiaonian said brightly: "Remember what I said? The essence of war is to kill people! But whoever dies is only in the hands of one person!"
"Your Highness, Dum, leave!"
After giving a gift and wiping the sweat, Dumu quickly got out of the house, took the roast chicken delivered, and quickly left.
Chapter completed!
