Chapter 125 Negotiation
today.
There is singing again below.
The songs they sang included folk songs, love songs, songs about going to war, and songs about an old mother missing her children, etc.
One of the generals clasped his fists towards Zhao Sui and said, "Your Highness, if this continues, the people and soldiers in our city will be affected. Without morale, how can we fight?"
Zhao Sui's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "Is there no other way?"
A general said, "Your Majesty, we still need to encourage the soldiers."
Zhao Sui also said coldly, "What a trouble!"
"Isn't this Xiang Yu known as the invincible general? He is also a land immortal. Why is he so cowardly?"
One of the generals shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this person is unfathomable. We can't figure out what's going on with him. It's incredible that he didn't send troops."
"The more this happens, the more uneasy I feel!" Zhao Sui said. Zhao Yi Turang said from behind: "Father, I'm here."
Zhao Sui turned around and looked at Zhao Yi, nodded and said, "Yier, aren't you at home taking care of your mother? Why are you here?"
Zhao Yi said: "The army is approaching the city now. As the prince of Jiaodong, how can I stay at home?"
Zhao Sui nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my son."
The two of them climbed up the arrow tower at the same time and looked down. It was pitch black, and even under the sunlight, it emitted a chilling chill.
One look at the army below shows that they are well-disciplined, skilled in fighting on the battlefield, and well-trained.
At this moment, there were only Zhao Sui and Zhao Yi.
Wherever they went, they bowed.
"I've met the prince."
"I've met the prince."
"..."
The two also greeted the soldiers.
Everyone who saw the two of them had a smile on their face.
They even felt refreshed and happy, and their morale was boosted immediately.
Zhao Sui asked Zhao Yi, "Yier, what do you think? Is this war good or bad?"
Zhao Yi was also stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "Father, why do you question your decision? Since you have made the decision to resist, you must be prepared to resist and cannot go back on your word. Otherwise, how can these brothers who follow you trust you?"
Zhao Sui was stunned when he heard this, but the next moment, he relaxed and said, "Kid, I'm afraid of getting you into trouble!"
"You and your mother are both my beloved ones. I would feel uneasy if they were harmed by my decision."
"So, I am already satisfied that you can say this now."
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Father, we will abide by any decision you make."
Zhao Sui put aside his worries and looked down at the city wall, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
Jiaodong was his fiefdom, and in a sense, it was his territory. How could he agree if it was to be taken away now?
And he's a rebel too.
Zhao Sui asked the messenger to issue an order:
"Let the entire city, as well as the surrounding towns, prepare for defense and keep a close eye on the enemy's movements. Do not let your guard down. Otherwise, you will be punished by military law with no leniency."
The messenger went to convey the order.
After receiving Zhao Sui's order, everyone was on high alert, without the previous laziness.
The brothers who followed him knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Sui was. Apart from being a little indecisive, he had no other bad deeds or things that were bad to them. He was even relatively tolerant towards them.
Never treated them unfairly.
Now this place is about to be robbed, and they don’t want their things to be taken away.
resistance!
Must resist!
Issue the order to all places, and no one is allowed to spread the message outside.
He also comforted the people in the city everywhere.
But even so, Zhao Sui was still worried and still guarded the city gate all day.
Looking at those soldiers, there were more than ten of them.
Days like these were the most difficult. The soldiers, armored men and people shouting below the city wall never stopped.
This day.
Zhao Yi brought a man who had returned from outside the city to Zhao Sui.
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty, our food supply has run out!"
"what?"
Zhao Sui was startled, frowned and asked, "How many days can we eat it?"
The man replied: "At most, we can supply ten days."
Zhao Sui was stunned.
Zhao Yi, who was sitting on one side, frowned and asked, "Is this all the food left in the city?"
The man replied, "Your Majesty, Prince, originally the food in the city could only store enough food for everyone for a month. It was only with Your Majesty's permission that we could store so much. Now everyone in the city needs to eat, and the war will require more food, so the food will run out quickly."
Zhao Yi thought about it and said, "Is there no other way?"
"Order someone to carry food inside?"
The man immediately shook his head and said, "We tried, but failed. We were soon discovered by the enemy. Many of our brothers have died. Even I came in after being seriously injured."
While talking.
He took off his clothes, revealing several wounds that were still bleeding.
Zhao Sui immediately called a doctor to treat the man's wound.
Zhao Yi was also stunned when he saw this, and frowned and said, "Father, what should we do?"
Zhao Sui thought for a moment, frowned and said, "The food shortage in the city is not a good thing. We must find a way to deal with it, otherwise there will be big problems."
"It may even cause a mutiny. In this case, it will be difficult to defend the city, or even survive."
"Yier, go gather a few advisers and have them come to our place to discuss how to resolve this matter. Remember, go and come back quickly without delay."
Zhao Yi clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Soon after.
Zhao Yi entered the palace with several advisers.
In the hall, I met Zhao Sui, King of Jiaodong.
"Your Majesty, I think we need to send people out to transport food, otherwise it will be very bad."
"Since everyone thinks so, who should deliver the food? This is the most important thing." Zhao Sui asked. He thought for a moment and continued, "Everyone, you can recommend any suitable candidates. We will discuss and plan immediately and start preparing to transport the food outside the city to solve the urgent problem."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
But the next moment.
Everyone looked at the same person at the same time, that was Zhao Yi, the prince of Jiaodong.
Zhao Yi was also stunned when he saw Qunmou's gaze. The next moment, he smiled and said, "Got it. I'll go."
Zhao Yi did not object, but accepted it with pleasure.
Zhao Sui was startled and frowned, saying, "Everyone, you are all counselors of the King of Jiaodong. How can you let the prince take such a risk?"
One of them said, "Your Highness, this is wrong! When the prince goes out, the people who follow him will fight even harder. If it were the others, they would not fight with all their strength at all."
Another person said, "Yes, this is very important, we must not be careless."
One person explained: "Your Majesty, besides that, it can also boost morale."
