System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

On the top of the city wall, Chen Shi looked at the warship.

However, the other party had no intention of stopping, and they bypassed the shallows in front of the city and headed straight to the west.

"Ok?"

"Why don't you fight?"

"You're not planning to deplete my army's rations again, are you?"

Li Guang stood beside Chen Shi and asked in disbelief.

"No, probably not."

"The Qian army has a large number of troops. Once the fleet in front stops, the thousands of warships behind will obviously have to stop as well."

"They probably planned to attack Baidi City from behind to avoid slowing down the march."

Chen Shi shook his head and explained.

He didn't want to experience food shortage again.

The last time he ran out of food, he was so hungry that he got stomach problems.

He had just recovered and didn't want to go through the pain of hunger again.

what?

You mean fishing and catching shrimp?

The river is deep and fast, and it is very dangerous to go into the water by yourself.

And if you use a fishing rod to fish...what if you come up empty-handed?

However, something happened that made Chen Shi helpless.

When the last few warships passed the shallows in front of Baidi City, he knew that he would probably starve again.

"Go, quickly go to the treasury and see how much food is left."

"Starting today, the daily food supply will be reduced. Let's try to survive by eating porridge as much as possible."

Chen Shi was so sad that he could not even cry, and said to Li Guang.

...

On the warship, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Yufu Pass guard's ability is somewhat lacking."

Xu Rong commented, shaking his head.

"Indeed, even if they don't have many troops, if they can insert stakes, iron chains, and other things into the water, they can at least hinder our army for several days, or even dozens of days."

Cui Yan nodded in agreement.

“Is it bad to have poor abilities?”

"When the time comes, I'll lead my troops to kill them one by one, with ease."

Cai Mao smiled happily.

He doesn't want to fight a difficult battle.

He just likes to fight the easy battles, where the credit is like something he picked up for free.

"That's right. With this pear blossom axe in my hand, let alone those unknown rats in Baidi City, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are no match for me!"

A middle-aged greasy fat man next to Cai Mao said proudly.

"With General Daorong helping me, I'm sure the credit will go to me."

Cai Mao nodded with satisfaction.

With the surrender of Jingnan, most of Jingnan's generals were incorporated into the Western Expedition Army.

Xing Daorong, the Lingling General, was naturally no exception.

When Cai Mao incorporated the Jingnan army, he specifically asked for Xing Daorong to be his general.

Since he had no experience in combat, Cai Mao had no idea how powerful Xing Daorong was based solely on his reputation.

The army passed through the canyon and arrived at the vast Chengdu Plain in less than half a day.

The fleet docked and the troops temporarily disembarked to rest.

By the time most of the baggage on the ship was unloaded, it was already night.

"Uncle Cai, tomorrow you will lead your fleet down the river to attack Yufu."

"There's no need to rush. We have the Yangtze River to transport food and supplies, so the food supply isn't urgent for now. Remember to ensure safety."

Xu Rong held the bowl of rice and gave instructions to Cai Mao while eating.

"Don't worry, General Xu. With me here, no one can harm the emperor."

Before Cai Mao could speak, Xing Daorong on the side spoke with a proud look on his face.

"Well, with Daorong here, there's nothing to worry about."

Cai Mao nodded and was very satisfied with Xing Daorong.

I originally thought that General Lingling was very arrogant and difficult to control.

After getting to know each other, Cai Mao discovered how much Xing Daorong respected him.

After learning that his sister Cai Mao was named Concubine Hui, the first person he addressed was "uncle of the emperor".

When everyone changed their address to calling him the emperor's uncle, Xing Daorong added the word "master" at the end, which made Cai Mao feel ecstatic every day.

"How about I send General Gan Ning to you as well?"

Xu Rong was still a little worried. After all, he didn't know how capable Xing Daorong was.

Nowadays, there are many people who are famous but have no ability.

"General, do you not trust me?"
