Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Not all troops from the major generals' offices have arrived.

They have all been receiving imperial support for many years and have been trained to be extremely loyal elites of the imperial court.

In a short period of time, they will definitely not all surrender.

Ye Shoujiang had anticipated this, so he was not in a hurry.

Several large pots of dishes were quickly delivered to various troops.

"There's plenty of white flour buns and as much meat as you can eat."

Song Dingsheng and Wu Qingye were responsible for maintaining order at the scene.

"Is this true?!"

"If I eat as much as I want, I will definitely eat your Southern Dynasty into bankruptcy!"

The soldiers who had been fighting for many years had never seen such a scene and were a little embarrassed.

Song Dingsheng and Wu Qingye looked at each other and immediately laughed.

"Everyone, I've brought in a thousand pigs, three thousand sheep, five hundred cows, and tons of rice, flour, grain, and oil. Can you really eat them all?"

"Don't underestimate our dynasty's strength, okay?"

Since Qin Ming built a farmhouse and continued to expand it, Lingnan, Huxi and other places have all started large-scale breeding in recent years.

Research on various types of veterinary medicines has been put on the agenda, which can resist many diseases, keep livestock healthy, have a high survival rate, and even higher meat yield.

In addition, the superior plants introduced from various places and the improved agricultural machinery have enabled their grain production to grow steadily.

When it comes to food, they really have no shortage of it.

"Then try..."

A few palace soldiers hummed twice, as if they couldn't find anything to say, so they hurriedly rubbed their hands and grabbed a few white flour buns.

"Sir, everything is almost done."

At this time, Yi, the cook who had been busy in the back, came to Wu Qingye and Song Dingsheng to report.

They cooked dozens of pots of dishes, and the steamers for steaming buns were never idle for a moment, with continuous output.

Now that he finally had a chance to catch his breath, Chef Yi came over to take a look.

"Yes, you have worked hard too."

Song Dingsheng patted his shoulder with respect. Chef Yi was the one who promoted some of the recipes summarized by Qin Ming.

After learning some of Qin Ming's recipes, he even developed many cooking methods and new dishes by analogy.

This also made his professional level frequently recognized by Qin Ming.

The position of manager of Lingnan Restaurant naturally fell on him.

Another obvious advantage of Yi Chef is that he has no prejudice against any sects.

As long as someone wanted to learn, he would teach them everything he knew. He personally trained more than a dozen apprentices, and these apprentices then branched out to run Lingnan restaurants in various places, making them flourish everywhere.

"If they run away after eating, won't we just give them food for nothing?"

At this time, Wu Qingye looked at the group of palace soldiers who were eating and taking things, and suddenly thought of a problem.

Cook Yi said with a smile:

"I just added a few more spices. I guarantee they'll be covered in the aroma of meat when they go back! They'll never forget the smell of this place! So why worry they won't come?"

"oh?!"

Song Dingsheng suddenly reacted.

"You're really good, kid. The food leaves a lasting fragrance. Those troops who haven't arrived yet will definitely not be able to handle it!"

"Yeah, as for those who have eaten here... they will definitely come again."

It is obvious that Chef Yi is confident in his cooking skills.

"Yes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

While the three were discussing, Ye Shoujiang also came over.

"Marshal Ye, do you think that if we let them eat for three days, we can subdue all the palace soldiers?"

Coincidentally, Song Dingsheng also asked the question they were discussing.

Ye Shoujiang nodded slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Since ancient times, it has always been a matter of courtesy before force. I have already given courtesy, and if you don't surrender, I will use force."

Ye Shoujiang is very particular about methods and ways of doing things. While offering generous treatment, he is also about to show his iron-blooded style.

However, he did not come here to discuss the issue of gathering the surrendered troops, which was not a big deal in his eyes.

"The rain these past few days has been making me a little wary. Xiao Wu, you should go into the mountains."

The Xiao Wu he was referring to was Wu Qingye. He was the only one in the entire military camp who dared to call him that.

Wu Qingye raised his eyebrows.

"You mean to say that His Majesty is in danger?"

"It's not dangerous, but Your Majesty is needed on the front lines. There's not much point in entangled in the mountains."

"I see."

Ye Shoujiang's judgment was correct, Qin Ming was ready to end the war.

That night, the rain showers in the entire Taiping Mountains finally stopped.

In the moist soil, countless rotten old trees and incompletely decomposed animal carcasses buried under the ground began to release miasma again.

The advantage of Qin Ming's troops was once again revealed.

They were not afraid of miasma at all.

After waiting for the rain to stop, they pursued the Yan army.

Although their troops were far outnumbered by the Yan army, Qin Ming, who had made many arrangements here in advance, had turned the entire Taiping Mountains into their home ground.

In just one day, all of Yan Guangshou's troops hiding in various places were found out and forced to flee in panic.

When Qin Ming launched the final general attack, an exciting news came from Yan Guangshou's troops.

"General, the scouts on the front line have discovered the border of the Taiping Mountains!"

"How far is it!?"

Hearing this, Yan Guangshou stood up suddenly.

"We can get there by climbing over three mountains!"

"Let's go now!"

Yan Guangshou knew that this was their last chance.

His troops had been reduced to only 20,000 by Qin Ming.

Only by joining forces with the elite troops under Emperor Qian can we launch another offensive against Qin Ming.

As a top general, no matter what the situation was, he never gave up attacking Qin Ming.

"But... Qin Ming has already blocked all the important roads."

"The miasma ahead is getting thicker. If we force our way in, we'll probably be wiped out..."

Several generals around him began to advise him.

At this point, they have lost the will to fight.

Some people even recommended that Yan Guangshou surrender a few days ago, so that Qin Ming could send them back to the Yan Dynasty and let the two dynasties resolve their differences.

It was a good idea, but unfortunately the person who made this suggestion was chopped to death by Yan Guangshou the next moment.

The war has reached this point, how could he have the face to go back?

Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield!

"I said...let's go!"

Yan Guangshou raised his eyes, and there seemed to be a trapped ferocious beast hidden in his pupils, which made people shudder.

Everyone had no choice but to pack up and set off again despite Qin Ming's constant harassment.

Qin Ming had cleared out a piece of open space under the last few mountains.

The number of Yan troops had already been reduced to only one tenth.

This is where they will have their final battle.

After the Yan army lost another batch of troops, they finally arrived here.

As expected, Qin Ming was already waiting for them here.

"Give you a chance."

Qin Ming, holding a spear in his hand, walked forward and looked at Yan Guangshou quietly.

Although they are rivals, they have never actually fought on the battlefield.

Yan Guangshou laughed out loud.

"Okay! I've been waiting for this day!"
