In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

"You guys go sit in the back. This car is a bit bumpy, so remember to find something to hold on to."

When Zhou Yi saw Xia Wanwan asked him to sit in the front together, he turned around and looked at the soldiers behind and gave them some instructions.

"Fairy! Is there anything you want to ask me?"

After Zhou Yi sat down, he found that the passenger seat cushion was soft, much better than sitting in the back.

Xia Wanwan started the car and asked, "By the way, how is the road from here to Rongcheng? Is it wide and flat? Are there any mountain roads?"

She almost forgot that this was Jin State, where there were no roads for cars and the large trailer could not move at all.

If the road is all flat, like the one from the riverside to Jiangcheng, then it's not a big problem and you can drive through it easily.

Zhou Yi said softly, "The north is mostly plains, with few mountain roads. Only when we're near Rongcheng, there are a few small hills about two or three hundred meters high. We can go around them."

"Okay, that's fine. Let's go!"

Xia Wanwan glanced at the rearview mirror and found that the soldiers were already seated in the truck, so she started the car and slowly headed towards Rongcheng.

"It's gone, it's really gone. This iron lump is really amazing. It can walk on its own without a horse."

"The key is that it can carry a lot of cargo."

"If it were a horse-drawn carriage, these things would have to run back and forth dozens of times, but this piece of iron can pull so much in one go."

The soldiers sitting in the car could not believe that this piece of iron could actually be driven away until the car moved away.

Xia Wanwan thought about the supplies she had ordered from China and wondered if they would be enough. So she asked Zhou Yi, "Deputy General Zhou! How many soldiers do we have stationed at the northern border? And how many are the enemy troops?"

"We originally had over 8,000 soldiers stationed outside the city, but due to Tan Yueming's betrayal, we lost over 7,000. The army inside the city is not large, only 30,000. We have urgently reported this to the court and asked them to send reinforcements.

The combined armies of the other seven nations number about 100,000 troops, but the latest spies report that they seem to have increased their forces, and now have an estimated 200,000 troops.

It looks like they are going to cross the river and attack.

In the past, Jin State had a strong military force, with an army of one million. However, after ten years of consumption, we suffered too heavy losses.

This is just the loss on the northern border. The East China Sea also suffered heavy losses. Over the years, nearly a million soldiers have died in battle."

Zhou Yi didn't know why she asked this, but she was the general's wife, and she had done so many good deeds, so he told her about the military situation without reservation.

"That bastard Tan Yueming, I feel like torture to death would be too easy for him."

When Xia Wanwan heard this, she felt an indescribable heartache in her heart. War will only bring harm to people.

She then asked, "Has the enemy suffered much loss over the years? And what is the total population of our Jin State?"

Zhou Yi replied, "The total population of Jin was originally about 15 million, but we have lost as many as 2 million soldiers in recent years. In addition, food is severely scarce, and people are afraid to have more children, which has led to a serious decline in the number of newborns in recent years.

The north is even worse off, with constant war and unbearable suffering. How could anyone dare to have more children? The severe drought of the past two or three years has not only resulted in no new life, but has also starved to death hundreds of thousands of people. The figures are increasing daily. Fortunately, your appearance, Fairy, has brought hope to the north.

The combined losses of the seven kingdoms over the years are estimated to be over a million. Before the War God General appeared, they had a very powerful military, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the first few years. If it weren't for the War God General, the Jin Kingdom would have perished long ago.

When Zhou Yi said this, he subconsciously looked at Xia Wanwan, trying to see something from her facial expression.

But Xia Wanwan's expression was calm, as if she didn't know this God of War General, so Zhou Yi once again concluded that she didn't know Gu Huaijin's true identity, and that he was actually the God of War General he was talking about.

Xia Wanwan pretended to know nothing so that no one could tell what was going on, but she was actually extremely sad.

Two million soldiers were killed or wounded, and the drought caused hundreds of thousands of people to starve to death. Not to mention the soldiers, even ordinary people would be heartbroken when they heard about this.

These are all compatriots living on the same land. Who wouldn’t be sad?

"Although the Seven Kingdoms are not as large as our Jin Kingdom, their combined land area is three or four times larger than ours, and their population is also several times larger. If it weren't for their weak naval forces, the East Sea would have been conquered long ago. However, we had more soldiers in Seoul at the beginning, so we were able to hold out for several years. In addition, the appearance of the God of War later saved the situation a lot, making the arrogant Seven Kingdoms fear him, and they have not dared to cross the river to attack for the past few years."

Zhou Yi briefly told her what had happened over the years.

"okay, I get it."

Xia Wanwan said that she was already aware of the war situation in recent years.

Then he suddenly said, "When you go back this time, if you see your War God General, you can tell him that there is no need for the court to send troops. We have 30,000 soldiers in Seoul, which is more than enough."

"Ah? No need to send reinforcements?"

Zhou Yi thought he had misheard and let out a roar in shock.

He tilted his head to look at Xia Wanwan's profile in surprise and asked, "Does the fairy have any good ideas?"

If Madam didn't have a good plan, she would never say such big words.

Xia Wanwan calmly replied, "It's not a good plan, but I can make the weapons in the soldiers' hands more lethal. It will take about six or seven days to get them. As long as we can survive this period, it's only a matter of time before we defeat the enemy. And if we don't give them some reward, how can we justify these ten years of fighting and the millions of soldiers who died in it?"

At this moment, her mood was in turmoil. With just the supplies in the space, it was more than enough to support the soldiers in the north.

But it is far from enough to help millions of people in the entire north.

Thinking of this, Xia Wanwan felt very complicated. She had to sell the black opal in her hand as soon as possible.

Her subsequent words completely confused Zhou Yi. He asked in confusion, "Give them a reward? What reward?"

Xia Wanwan curled her lips, her cold eyes shimmering with frost as she spoke with domineering authority, "Of course it's in return for unifying the eight kingdoms. Since they want Jin's land so badly that they've waged a war for ten years, we must fulfill their ambition. But it's not us ceding our land to them, but Jin occupying their territory and unifying the eight kingdoms."

When Zhou Yi heard this, he subconsciously swallowed several times.

Unify the eight countries?

Madam! You are so bold...
