Chapter 2766: Food Shortage and Internal Crisis
"Master, new intelligence. The king and his men are transporting things, taking the food and jewelry from other pyramids to the main city not far away."
The little robot came over and reported in the local language the enemy's movements, which the airship saw.
"Fortify the walls and clear the fields? It's too late. Their land is still there. They divided their troops to guard and resist step by step before, and now they are gathering their forces. What's the use without food?"
Li Yi felt that the other party was too optimistic, so just surrender! We won't kill you, just put you under house arrest.
Not many people were killed when the pyramids were attacked, and a large group of people gathered with things.
The land was lost, it was dry, and there was no output without watering. The lost food could not be turned back.
How to distribute the remaining food? Some city-states and nobles were not attacked, and they had a lot of things.
If they were asked to take out food to help those who were driven away and lost food, would they agree?
Others supported the king to be beaten, and they cared about the king's food. The king forced those who had food to share with those who had no food?
Li Yi analyzed the situation to the second prince and others, and the difficulties the king was facing at present.
"What should we do?" The second prince naturally asked Li Yi for his opinion and suggestions.
"Continue the sneak attack and capture people. If the grain can't grow, take the opportunity to harvest and make it into concentrated feed for horses.
They need to send people out to hunt and eat meat to make up for the lack of food. Let's keep an eye on them.
The airship went over and shouted with a loud speaker that anyone who came would have food and meat.
I can't make food, but I have enough fish and meat. It sounds quite contradictory!"
Li Yi suddenly felt that it was a great wisdom not to eat meat. Now the Tang Dynasty is like this. In places with low grain production, airships send dried fish.
Protein intake increases and carbohydrate demand decreases.
"If I were the king, I would send troops to stop people from fleeing." The person who spoke first just now spoke again.
"Not allowing people to flee and not giving them food, the contradiction began to intensify. We sneak attack, and others will take the opportunity to escape in order to survive."
Princess Yongmu spoke, and she had been listening beside her.
A group of people looked at her. Maya was a male-dominated society, and they only gave gifts and bought out labor when they got married.
After the Wu Zetian era, the Tang Dynasty has a relatively high status for women, but the essence is still that men are superior to women.
The people who came to see the second prince were surprised. Men are discussing, why do you women interrupt?
"Yes! The princess is right." The second prince was not surprised. Men are superior to women depending on the strength of both sides.
She is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and you are a man. Can you suppress the people of the Tang Dynasty?
Xiaolan agreed: "My little mother means that there is no need to rush to send troops to capture the king and his people, although it is easy.
After the people above are captured, others are still thinking about their own kings, nobles, and priests.
When their dissatisfaction erupts in such conflicts, and the dynasty changes, they will not continue to think about them."
She meant it herself. If she can capture the thief and the king, she will not do it. Anyway, she will not return to the Tang Dynasty for the New Year this year.
The choice under the absolute advantage of weapons and troops is active.
The passive one is that the king is not captured, and the blitzkrieg fails. Change the combat strategy and fight a protracted war.
Take a region as the battlefield and let other support forces come in. It seems to be fighting with one place, but it is actually fighting with a group of people.
When you finally win the war, you have proved your strength, and other people should be given corresponding status.
At the same time, the soldiers are trained, and then look around and ask: Who else?
"That's right, let them be disunited." Li Yi concluded.
Everyone understands, understands the strategic intention, and understands their own status. Women's words are effective. These two women are amazing! They understand the art of war.
"Princess sister, how can you have so many?" The little girl peeled the shells of the prawns with her hands.
"Every day, I am with a group of knowledgeable people. I can't help but want to know. If you don't understand something, you can ask at any time."
Princess Yongmu helped to peel, fearing that the winning shrimp shells would cut the little girl's hands.
She is most satisfied with her current life. As soon as Li Lang eats, the ministers come over and ask all kinds of questions.
I will not leave if I listen to it by my side! Li Lang didn't let me go, who dares to chase me away?
Those who can't understand it for a while turn around and ask Li Lang.
"Princess sister, please teach me more." The little girl took the shrimp, divided it into three pieces, handed it to Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan, and ate one piece herself.
"Is this tuition?" Princess Yongmu asked, holding the shrimp slices.
"Hehe!" The little girl nodded.
...
"It was agreed that we would plan, but he took care of everything himself."
Song Jing, who was eating in the camp, complained that he was watching the live broadcast and that Li Yi was in charge of the whole situation.
"They are not on the same level at all. It doesn't matter who is on the stage. It's not about making plans, but the Yulin Flying Cavalry has strong execution ability.
If Guangping comes to give orders, I think he will be better than Xiaoyi. Xiaoyi is still young!"
Lu Huaishen said to Song Jing, and also grabbed the prawns to peel them.
"I am actually not much better. Xiaoyi is indeed blessed by the Yulin Flying Cavalry. The Yulin Flying Cavalry is..."
Song Jing stopped talking and looked at Lu Huaishen with resentment. Are you on my side?
The Yulin Flying Cavalry was trained by Xiaoyi. If the Yulin Flying Cavalry is strong, doesn't it prove that Xiaoyi is strong!
The Tang Navy was also supported by Xiaoyi, otherwise it would have been disbanded.
Ever since you copied the couplets of Zuixie, you have changed. You protect Xiaoyi all day long. He bought new furniture for your house, right?
"The Yulin Flying Cavalry is your majesty's personal army. Your majesty has a good command of the army." Yao Chong helped to smooth things over.
"The real battle will be in the next one." Li Longji smiled and shook his head. When he met a good soldier, all the ministers wanted to make plans.
Of course! Only Brother Yi was in charge there, which was safe. Brother Yi was most familiar with all aspects of the situation.
"I don't know how the other king would respond. It's difficult!"
Zhang Jiuling put himself in the shoes of the king and found that if he were the king, there would still be no solution.
The king on the other side was also eating and holding a meeting.
He had meat to eat, which he hunted, roasted, and added some salt. He didn't know other cooking skills, but it was a pity that the meat was lost.
The people at the meeting used chopsticks and had pickles. Li Yi rented the place under the pyramid where free soup was available. There were pickles. It was free and you could eat it as you wanted.
Wild vegetables were blanched in water and salted.
They learned it, not boiled, but blanched.
The pyramid guaranteed that it would be made in the morning and eaten in the evening.
They thought Li Yi was stupid. They made a lot of them and ate them every day. They had no concept of nitrite.
Chopsticks were naturally learned, and they found that it was indeed more "civilized" than holding them with their hands.
At this moment, everyone was frowning, the reason was simple, lack of food.
Even their own slaves had to eat, and they couldn't just keep eating wild vegetables! A large area of wild vegetables nearby had been harvested.
If they were short of food again, they could only eat people, but it would be better to sell them. They could buy from Li Yi, one for one according to weight.
Seesaw, put people on one side and food on the other side, and exchange them after balance.
Some people were smart before, and asked the slaves to drink a lot of water when they sold them.
As a result, they couldn't do it after selling a few, so Li Yi asked them to vomit. If they couldn't vomit, there was medicine, and they could vomit after drinking the medicine.
It's not that the food is short of the weight of a water, but they are afraid that others will drink to death, and others will follow suit and drink so much water, and their stomachs will burst? Or water poisoning. To be continued
