BXBX NOVEL Chapter 456 - 456: Reading Her Letter
“Give me the letter,” Ming Zhiyan said coldly.
Lin Zhiqing glanced at him and sighed. He felt that if he continued to tease him, he would really be in trouble.
“So boring.” He slowly took out the envelope, but he did not expect that it would be snatched away by Ming Zhiyan.
Ming Zhiyan waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take the man away.
The two Deputy Generals immediately went over and held Lin Zhiqing up.
Lin Zhiqing struggled and shouted, “Ming Zhiyan! You’re so inhumane! You’re burning the bridge after crossing it!’
Ming Zhiyan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He placed the precious envelope on his chest, then said loudly, “Check the grain!”
After the Deputy General had settled down all the people he had escorted, he began to count the provisions with his men.
Looking at the long line of the grain fleet, he said excitedly, “General, these provisions are enough to support us in taking down Dong Yue! There might still be a lot left!”
“Sort out and count the grain,” Ming Zhiyan said calmly. “Take out the spoiled ones and report to me how much we have left.”
Ming Zhiyan returned to the tent and took advantage of this free time to take out the letter that Jian Qingqing had written.
He held the heavy stack of letters and looked at the familiar round and smooth handwriting on the envelope, his heart softening.
Ming Zhiyan carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.
The letter was stacked in chronological order, recording all the events that had happened in the capital since Ming Zhiyan’s departure.
Some of them were interesting things, some were about the current situation in the Capital, but most of them were about her daily life.
Ming Zhiyan read it slowly, not willing to miss a single word.
After reading a letter, he had an impulse to return to the Capital immediately and hug the girl he loved.
It seemed like he had to speed up the process.
When the Deputy General came in, he felt a chill in the tent. He shivered and asked nervously, “General, what happened?”
Ming Zhiyan collected his emotions and said lightly, “I’m fine.”
“How’s the inspection of the rations going?” he asked the Deputy General.
When it came to business, the Deputy General immediately straightened his body and put the matter behind him. He said respectfully, “The rations they sent over should be enough to support the army for a year. However, I don’t think we need that much. In less than two months, we should be able to take down Dongyue.”
Ming Zhiyan pondered for a moment and said directly, “Take out half of the grain and use it for charity. Anyone who is willing to submit to the Great Wei can receive a bowl of porridge.”
“This…” The Deputy General hesitated for a moment and said, “They are still not the people of Great Wei. Wouldn’t it be a waste to give it to them like this?” “It will happen sooner or later,” Ming Zhiyan said indifferently.
The Deputy General felt that the General’s words were really domineering. He thought about it for a moment and understood. He had to sigh at the General’s brilliant move.
Now, everyone in Dongyue was in danger. The Dongyue Imperial Court did not do anything, and the roads were filled with starving people. When they attacked the first few cities, the ordinary people were pushed up the city walls.
The majority of the citizens were filled with resentment towards Dongyue, but out of respect for the Imperial Court, they did not dare to rebel.
However, if there was an irresistible temptation in front of them, as long as they betrayed Dongyue, they would be able to fill their stomachs. It was believed that most people would not be able to refuse.
On a hill ten miles away from the Wei army’s camp, there were about 30 emaciated people. Some of them were old, some were young, and some were in the prime of their lives. However, all of them looked dull..
