The sun in the sky gradually submerged under the horizon at the end of the field of vision, and the bright world suddenly darkened. The desolate sound of the gongs of the golden withdrawal of troops rang under the city of Shayang County. The tide-like attacking team retreated in waves, leaving countless remains and blood between their camp and the city wall. From the city, there were cheers from the defenders. They stood on the wall unscrupulously, waving their weapons, holding up their flags, and making loud laughs at the retreating attackers.

The battle for Shayang County has been going on for almost a month. The moat has been filled, and every attack is an extremely cruel battle between the city walls, almost a small fight a day and a big fight every three days, but the cruelty of the war is obviously far beyond Moro's imagination.

In his opinion, the righteous army like himself who was hiding the people, pleaded for the people, resisted the invasion of violent Qi, and resisted the cowardly Yue court's kingly army. Wherever he went, shouldn't the people rushing around and telling each other, cheering and opening the city gate, and welcoming his arrival?

This is true in Changyang County. Wherever his banner goes, all the county towns and villages all happily join his army. It is Changyang County City. In the end, the people in the city rebelled and opened the city gate to break through. This also gave Molo an illusion.

He believed that all the people welcomed him.

But in Shayang County, reality hit him hard.

Shayang County is very different from Changyang County. Most of the place is in plain areas, with fertile land and rich resources. More importantly, there is a person with extremely high prestige here, Mr. Liu of the Liu family.

The influence of the imperial court here is relatively weak, and the real master is a wealthy family dominated by Liu. Shayang County is still the prey of the weak and the world of the powerful. However, these wealthy families who have ruled Shayang County for hundreds of years understand one thing: If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? And in the generation of Old Master Liu, this has been done better than before.

Of course, the powerful have to seize more wealth, but only when the people under their command are richer can they get more. Therefore, the people of Shayang County live a relatively comfortable life. Compared with Changyang County, they undoubtedly live in heaven.

This is the rules and order that Old Master Liu has always emphasized. The people of Shayang County are also used to living in such rules and order.

But Moluo came, and Moluo's behavior made the people of Shayang shudder. Wherever the army went, everything you had will not be yours, but yours. You can only get your own food as a member of the Shuntian Army. This may be a support for the people of Changyang County, but for the people of Shayang County, it is a naked deprivation.

Therefore, people in Shayang County do not need too much mobilization from the government and tyrants, so they will rise up to fight. The battle in Shayang County is becoming more and more intense and cruel.

Moro was shocked to find that his well-trained army was growing more and more. With the efforts of Wu Xin and the former Yue army officers who surrendered to him, more and more people in his troops were becoming more and more like soldiers, but the resistance on the city walls was becoming more and more skillful. He was growing, but the people in the city were also growing.

They have tall and steep city walls to support, and they have abundant reserves of food to consume. The information sent from the city made Molo feel a little depressed to find that if he continues to consume like this, he will be himself.

There are only hundreds of thousands of troops, but there is no way to take this Shayang County City. If there is no way to even the half-baked army of Shayang County City, how can I sweep the world?

"King, let's see the envoy of Chu!" Wu Xin advised. "We must now obtain external support. Our food and grass can no longer be consumed like this. If there is no food, it will be the beginning of the collapse of our army."

Listening to Wu Xin's words, Mo Luo waved his hand irritatedly: "I know our logistics is in a hurry, but Wu Xin, the Chu people come here at this time, what kind of good intentions can they be? It is easy to see them, and it is also easy to agree to them, but once you have a conflict with them, it will not be so easy to get rid of them in the future!"

"It's urgent to follow the power." Wu Xin said: "After all, this is the land of Yue State, and the soldiers here are all the soldiers of the king. As long as the Chu people can provide us with real support, is the king still afraid that they will make a fuss? It's okay to hear what they say when they see you! Or can they give us some surprises."

"Then let's meet! If they dare to make some unreasonable requests, don't blame me for being rude and just bombard them out." Molo said impatiently.

"King, the two countries are fighting and they are still coming to envoys. What's more, the envoys of Chu cannot be called our enemy no matter how much they say. Now, as long as they can help us, they are all our friends. The king should be kind to them!" Wu Xin said with a smile.

Ma Xiangnan stepped into Moluo's tent with great energy. It had been ten days since he arrived here, but he had not seen Moluo. The proud King Shuntian did not take him seriously at all. Instead, Wu Xin under his command had quite a few talents. These days, Ma Xiangnan, who lived in the camp of Shuntian Army, observed everything about Shuntian Army up close, and also saw the attack on Shayang County City by Shuntian Army. As a result, as the Chu court expected, a group of mobs could not become grand.

However, his mission here is to clear the group of mobs, to make them stronger and cause greater trouble to the country of Yue. Of course, the biggest goal is to make Moro finally move his troops eastward to find trouble for the Qi people.

In ten days, the offensive of Shuntian Army was repeatedly frustrated, which made Ma Xiangnan more and more confident. Molo, who had won every battle, did not need himself. But now, the Shuntian Army, which had been repeatedly frustrated and had reached the brink of danger, would become more and more necessary for him. Sometimes, he even hoped that Old Master Liu in the city would give Molo a big defeat. Only at that time would Molo rely more on himself.

"See King Shuntian!" Ma Xiangnan, who walked into the tent, had no airs of an envoy of a great power, and honestly paid homage to Molo with the etiquette of meeting the emperor, which calmed down Molo, who was originally inappropriate.

"Get up, your name is Ma Xiangnan. What is the relationship with Ma Xiangdong?" Molo waved his hand and signaled the guards to give Ma Xiangnan a chair.

Sitting down steadily, Ma Xiangnan shook his hand up, "Go back to the king, Ma Xiangdong is the elder brother who is at the bottom, and he is at home two."

"Hahaha, it's more and more Ma Zuoxiang's younger brother!" Moro laughed out loud with difficulty. In his eyes, this person was naturally another guy who got up with nepotism.

"Sir Ma, since Brother Ling is the left prime minister of Ma Xiangdong, then we don't have to talk around the corner. Just take a little bit. What can you help me? What do you want me to do for you?" Moro picked up the strong wine on the table, took a big sip, and slapped the wine bowl on the table with a thud.

Asked with a strong wine in the air, Ma Xiangnan felt even more disdainful. It was really a rash atmosphere and bandit style.

"The king, the emperor travels thousands of miles and takes a detour. It can show the sincerity of our Great Chu. His Majesty, the emperor of our country, admires the king..."

"Don't say these useless things, just avoid the useless things. Just talk about the key points." Molo impatiently interrupted Ma Xiangnan's words.

Ma Xiangnan smiled, "Okay, let's just talk about the key points. When our Da Chu knew that the king was going to attack Shayang County, my Emperor of Chu had already predicted the king's predicament today. Now, according to my observation, the king is indeed a bit difficult to get on the verge of the tiger. To be honest, if the king does not ask for changes, the king will probably suffer a big defeat under the Shayang County city."

"nonsense."

"All nonsense!"

"Big words!?"

In the tent, there was a shouting sound, but Ma Xiangnan was unmoved and still looked at Moro with a smile.

Molo also looked extremely ugly and stared at Ma Xiangnan, "Ma Xiangnan, don't care what your master wants from me, but relying solely on such false intimidation will only backfire."

"King, let's not talk about whether this Shayang County can be captured. I just want to ask one thing, how long can the king's food and grass last? Once the food and grass are cut off, how will the king handle itself? The king's previous plan was to replenish it in Shayang County, but he didn't expect that the Liu family in Shayang was prepared for a long time, and you have limited income in Shayang County, right? A large amount of food and grass is now in Shayang County, but the premise is that you want to capture Shayang County! But now it seems that it is not an easy thing to defeat him."

Ma Xiangnan said leisurely: "I can see the dilemma you are in now, not only can I understand, but the great people in Yuejing City can also see it very clearly. Zhang Jian and the elite Yuejing Hu Ben were stationed in Zhengyang County, but refused to come out to fight against the king. That was not afraid of you, King, but they wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Once you can't conquer Shayang County, you will run out of food and grass. At that time, you will not only face a counterattack from Shayang County, but also a thunder attack from Zhang Jian from Zhengyang County. King, if this is the time, how can you turn the situation around?"

Moro looked at Ma Xiangnan with a dark face. He was not unconsidered what the other party said, but now, he had no other way except to try his best to take down the city of Shayang County and use the rich materials in the city to replenish himself.
