"Hahaha, I have been worried about this period of time, and I feel that the following battles are all losses. Now, I am too worried." Chang Wei stared at the baggage trucks and said a few words to his ears.

For him, the King of Yan had many ways.

If it weren't for this surprise attack, it would be that normal troops would be launched in Changcheng.

The powerful and powerful clans in Changcheng will definitely flee westward, and they will not be able to get anything by then.

"In fact, if the Wu Kingdom had not moved the capital to Bacheng, more would have been captured." Zhao Xu looked west.

This westward migration was the westward migration of the entire Jiangnan wealth, and most of the wealth was still transported to Bacheng.

Chang Wei also looked west and said, "Hmph, these wealth are all the people's wealth of Dasong. As long as you break Bacheng, you can regain it."

Clearing his throat, he continued, "Your Highness, when all the soldiers of the Third Army return, the people of the three states should be moving westward and fighting the tribe."

Zhao Xu nodded, the Third Army soldiers who went to Jiangzhou this time returned the earliest.

But in addition to those who went to Jiangzhou, the soldiers of the Third Army also went to Xiangzhou and Yuezhou.

If their actions go smoothly, they will have to return to the team one after another for at least more than a month.

And then the summer harvest is over.

During this period, the royal family's personal army had to be busy harvesting rice from the land of the powerful and wealthy clans.

"But Jiangzhou is going to harvest rice, right? This time, the rice in Jiangzhou should be burned to see what his army eats." Guan Tong thought of something and said with hatred.

The powerful tribe made them feel very passive.

He really wanted to clear them up.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei shook their heads at the same time.

Zhao Xu said: "The grain in Jiangzhou cannot be burned, otherwise the people of Jiangzhou will hate us because of this and leave rice behind. They will only hate the powerful clan."

"Hate the power clan?" Guan Tong scratched his head.

"That's right, you have cleaned up all Changcheng and other counties this time. They will definitely impose heavy taxes on the people to make up for the deficit. That is the time when heaven is angry and people are resentful." Zhao Xu said, "In this case, if the royal family members enter Jiangzhou again, the people will definitely eat pots of slurry to welcome the royal army."

According to the information provided by the Fourth Court, this time when the people of the three states returned, many refugees and debt-ridden people from Jiangzhou have already come with them.

In order to live a life in Jiangbei.

However, most of the people in Jiangzhou did not follow him because they were loyal to the powerful clan.

But because they are reluctant to leave their thatched huts and thin fields at home, this is the local sentiment.

Therefore, until they cannot survive, they will not leave their hometowns.

But when they go to a difficult level, they will definitely be welcomed.

"It turns out that Your Highness had already thought of it." Guan Tong laughed twice.

After chatting for a few more words, the three of them returned to Jinling City.

...

Bacheng.

The news that Changcheng was lost and the people fled back to the three southeastern prefectures also spread here.

Liang Kai was furious and summoned Luther, Brooke, Xie Duan, Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an.

In the palace of the government affairs hall, Liang Kai pointed at Wang Zi'an and said angrily, "What a prime minister of the Wang family is simply a fool. From Jiangbei to Jiangnan, he has come up with many ideas, but it will cause greater harm every time. Brother Wang is not me, Liang Kai, and I don't give you face. Wang Xie should really behead him to show his head to the public to thank the public for his anger."

Prince An was ashamed of shame.

When the news came, he was in a state of ease. He had long supported Wang Xie.

I didn't expect such a big mess to happen this time.

In order to resettle the three of them, Liang Kai gave Changcheng to their army to garrison.

Now, Changcheng has become like this.

But he was a little dissatisfied because Wang Xie only advised him about this matter, and in the end, the British also agreed.

Han Zheng has always been extremely safeguarding the prince's peace, so he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, everyone decided on this matter unanimously at that time. It can only be said that this was a plot by the King of Yan. We would have to send troops if we did not send troops at that time. Otherwise, if the 90,000 troops advancing west really started fighting, Bacheng would be afraid that it would be impossible to save it."

Since the fall of Jinling, Liang Kai has been more and more despising the three families.

Hearing this, he didn't seem to give Han Zheng face at all, and he was about to mock him when he opened his mouth.

At this time, Brooke coughed, "Did you forget to deal with the oath of King Yan together? You blame each other for this setback, how can you cooperate?"

After pausing, he said again: "The outcome of the war is normal, and it is normal to make mistakes in the analysis and judgment. As the head of the Han family said, the King of Yan's move will be deceived if anyone changes him."

Brooke said this, Liang Kai lost his words.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It's just that Wang Xie has had it after all, and he can no longer be the leader. Let Xie An replace Wang Xie."

Han Zheng, Xie Duan and Wang Zi'an both dared not object anymore.

Moreover, Xie An is also from their three families, and they can accept it.

Seeing that the three of them did not object, Liang Kai sighed, "Three kind brothers, don't blame me for being harsh, because not only Changcheng, but also the food and grass from other counties in Jiangzhou were also robbed. In addition, the southern part of Xiangzhou and Yuezhou were also attacked and suffered heavy losses."

"Next, there will be a problem with the food and grass of our Wu army. This is the matter of burning fire."

Although Nanliang promised to sell food and grass to them.

But Nanliang also has its own troops to support.

In addition, annual tribute is paid to Beidi every year.

The food and grass provided to them can feed 400,000 soldiers.

Most of the food and grass still have to rely on the collection of agricultural taxes.

But the food and grass that were hoarded were robbed. Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou and Yuezhou have more mountains and few fields, and there is not much grain production. You can imagine the difficulties they are facing now.

The situation continues to deteriorate, and they cannot support these million troops.

"The only way to do this is to collect heavy taxes from the people. It is better for the people to starve to death than for the soldiers to starve to death." Xie Duan said in a deep thought.

Han Zheng agreed: "If you want to overcome this disaster, you can only do this."

"Although that's the case, I'm worried that this is a link in the series of plans of King Yan. If the tax is collected, the people will yearn for Jiangbei more, which is not conducive to the Wu Kingdom." Wang Zi'an hesitated for a moment and said.

Liang Kai said: "I naturally thought of it, but even if I drink poison to quench my thirst, I can only drink this cup of poisonous wine. If I don't enroll, I will have to reduce the soldiers immediately. The enrollment can barely maintain it."

Brooke and Luther looked at each other and nodded.

They agreed to Liang Kai do so.

Because they just wanted to drag the King of Yan into the quagmire of war and win the time for reaction for the British land, whether it was to imitate the King of Yan's muskets, or recall the reserves and increase troops to the east.

Furthermore, they are not optimistic about the army of the powerful clan.

What we value more is the Rus Kingdom and the Beidi people.

Therefore, they don’t care at all about how the powerful clan treats the people under their command.

I just hope they can live longer.

If you die now, or die tomorrow, they will naturally choose tomorrow.

Even if this price is to feed on the flesh and blood of the people.

They even hope that the powerful people will do so.

The most wonderful thing is that all the people in Dasong die. Even if the King of Yan unifies Jiangnan, he will be a mess.
