Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Hua Yunhong was held up. Although Liu Qin did not steal their things, the supplies were indeed lost on the other party's territory.

No one expected that Liu Qin was so bold that he actually dared not to leave any garrison in the city.

Since things have gone wrong, let's continue to go wrong.

They learned about the situation too late, and since the losses were so huge, they could only ask Liu Qin to compensate for some of the losses.

Hua Yunhong, who lost both his wife and his army, now has lost three times as much.

One of them was their supplies, and the other was given to Liu Qin in an attempt to win his money.

The last part was the silver he needed to raise supplies again.

The key point is that many supplies have now been bought out by Chu Ying.

Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. It is in a state of having a price but no demand.

Under such conditions, Hua Yunhong, who had been in charge of the dynasty for several years, felt the pressure from multiple parties for the first time.

In the military camp, Du Zi stood in front of Hua Yunhong and said with a look of disappointment on his face:

"Your Highness, the warehouses in several major cities around you are already empty. They were looted, and many things in the market were sold out long ago. It seems that we will not be able to supply the supplies that General Changsun needs in a short time."

"How long will it take at the earliest?"

Chang Sun Huo's situation also gave Hua Yunhong a headache. He took a deep breath and confirmed again.

Du Zi was silent for a moment, and then revealed a time that even Hua Yunhong found hard to accept.

"It will take at least two months. It will snow soon. Even the caravans will be grounded due to the ice and snow."

"Is there any better way?"

"No, unless someone can gather all the supplies at once and send them here in large quantities. But none of the cities around us have the strength to do that right now."

This situation made Hua Yunhong feel a little anxious. Both troops on the front line needed a large amount of supplies, and winter was coming soon.

They either retreat or stay where they are.

By then, if we tighten our belts and tighten our belts, we might not even be able to exert 50% of our original 100% combat power.

"Chu Ying is such a bastard. I didn't expect him to plant such a big bomb for us."

When mentioning this, Hua Yunhong thought of Chu Ying.

When Chu Ying first entered Shenmu City, Hua Yunhong didn't even bother to look at him.

Especially after hearing those unrealistic fantasies that Chu Ying talked about.

Still counting on new technologies to change their system!

This kind of thing even seemed a bit offensive to Hua Yunhong, after all, he was a staunch conservative.

It is because of this point that the communication between the two people ended in a bad mood.

I thought it was just a small fry and was not worthy of competing with me.

But after that, Chu Ying not only disrupted the entire border of Shenmu Kingdom.

It even leaves them with nothing to use.

This made Hua Yunhong understand a truth: never underestimate anyone. Even such a small fry could easily hold him back and cause him to capsize in the gutter.

In desperation, Hua Yunhong could only issue a heavy order.

"Go tell the court to open the treasury and get the stuff out and send it to the front."

"Are we asking the imperial court to open the treasury now? If they knew the situation on the front lines, it would be disadvantageous to you."

Hearing this, Du Zi's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"This is necessary. The troops on the front lines must not be short of food and clothing, otherwise our battle will be in vain."

The Shenmu Kingdom is not incapable of taking care of the battlefield.

They have many cards up their sleeves and many ways to get through the crisis.

But this does not mean that Hua Yunhong can make this decision easily.

Because for the Shenmu Kingdom, even if it has a trump card, it depends on when to use it.

For example, it would be very foolish to reveal your trump card shortly after a war begins.

It will also be discussed by people.

It was at this time that Hua Yunhong mobilized the resources reserved in the national treasury for war supplies.

If this decision were reported back to the court, it would certainly damage his reputation.

But now is not the time to talk about this kind of problem.

The troops on the front line need to consume huge amounts of food and fodder every day.

Weapons, armor, and winter clothes are needed to keep out the cold.

Their fighting power would weaken a little with every night.

This would very likely cause the elite troops that Hua Yunhong had painstakingly trained to be destroyed in a small territory of Western Shu.

He would never allow such a thing to happen.

Even if this decision is made, it will affect his prestige and cause a lot of discussion within the government and the public.

Hua Yunhong still sent the message back and asked the court to start supplying supplies.

"Yes."

Seeing Hua Yunhong so determined, Du Zi nodded and ordered someone to send a message to the court.

On the other side, Fang Yuanjian was looking into Yuanwang Ridge.

They have been developing very well in recent days.

Since he had supplies, Fang Yuanjian could even feed his troops.

When the soldiers in these troops had enough strength, they built some houses locally for their families to live in.

In addition to the looted supplies, a large amount of silver was also in Fang Yuanjian's hands.

Although they were in the deep mountains and forests, Fang Yuanjian and his soldiers had no money to spend.

But they have another capable person by their side.

This person is naturally Chu Ying.

Chu Ying received an order from Qin Ming to stay here.

If necessary, take the caravan out to trade.

Purchase what the army lacks from surrounding countries.

That day Fang Yuanjian found Chu Ying.

"Boss Chu, the court of the Shenmu Kingdom has begun to take action. They have sent a batch of supplies to the front lines and also taken out a lot of silver, preparing to purchase a large amount of military supplies around the royal city."

"This is normal. After all, the Shenmu Kingdom has a vast territory, and its accumulation over the years is unmatched."

Chu Ying was not surprised about this matter, but Fang Yuanjian actually came to him, so he must have something to ask for.

After saying this, Fang Yuanjian rubbed his hands, looked at Chu Ying hesitantly, and said:

"Actually, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. If possible, could you please enter the heart of the Shenmu Kingdom and raise the price of their supplies?"

"what?"

The corners of Chu Ying's mouth twitched.

Fang Yuanjian's request was really a bit unreasonable.

The reason why they have only been active in the border areas is because Chu Ying is worried that with the powerful means of the Shenmu Kingdom, if he goes in, he may not be able to come back.

But now he actually wants himself to go in and disrupt the market. Even if he could do it, he wouldn't dare to do it.

They have a large number of troops in their territory.

All your money and people have gone there, and in the end you may not be able to get anything out.

"Your Highness, you are not kidding, are you?"
