    In this battle, Tu Wanxu won the war as he wished, but lost the future.  Although the Sui army successfully defeated the main force of Liu Yuanjin's rebel army in this battle and occupied Jishan and Yixing City. Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie fled south with less than 10,000 remnant troops, but the most important strategic purpose of the Sui army was not accomplished. They failed to secure Yi Xing.  There was no food in Xingcheng, so the Sui army still could not solve the problem of food shortage.

    At this time, Tu Wanxu looked at the warehouse that had turned into ashes and said nothing for a long time.

    "If God doesn't help me to destroy the thieves, this is not a crime of war."  At this point, there are only a few days of food left in the army, which is no longer enough to support the army going south.  Although now is the best opportunity to attack Yuhang, and he is 100% sure of taking Yuhang, but even so, they can only retreat.

    Tu Wanxu ordered all the troops to return to Jinling City, and ordered the requisition of grain from various places south of the Yangtze River.  Tu Wanxu still has a glimmer of luck. What if Jiangnan can provide them with enough food?

    Yu Juluo persuaded Tu Wanxu to go to Wu County. The only place in the south of the Yangtze River that is not in trouble is Wu County. Wu County must have surplus food.  Although Ou Yan and Huang Mingxiang avoided seeing them, they came to visit them. Out of face, they would also provide some food to meet their urgent needs.

    Although Tu Wanxu has never met the two of them, he can feel the other person's resistance to him, although he does not understand the reason.  Tu Wanxu is also a proud person. If the other party is Huang Mingyuan, he will go there, but the other party is Huang Mingyuan's younger brother. In his opinion, there is still a lot of difference in status.

    However, he had to bow his head at this time, wrote a letter to Wanxu, and sent Yu Juluo to Wuxian.

    When Tu Wanxu¡¯s letter arrived in Wu County, Huang Mingxiang threw it away as a piece of waste paper without even reading it.  If Huang Mingyuan looked down on the Guanlong family because of his knowledge, then Huang Mingxiang had contempt for the Guanlong family because of historical reasons and background.  Since Yang Xuangan's rebellion, by this time today, people with lofty ideals have already seen the changes in the world. When Guanxi and Guandong are in conflict again, Huang Mingxiang will not show mercy.

    To be honest, Huang Mingxiang admires Tu Wanxu for being able to defeat Liu Yuanjin even when he ran out of food. He is truly a famous general and is admirable.  But the stronger the ability to spit out Wanxu, the greater the threat to them, and the more they need to be eliminated.

    The enemy's famous general is our enemy.

    At this time, Huang Mingxiang would not be able to deliver food and grass to Jinling even if he was killed.  Tu Wanxu was only ordered to punish thieves and could not control the place, let alone the Jiangnan Transportation Department. His orders had no binding force on Huang Mingxiang.

    Huang Mingxiang has been running Jiangdong for many years and has an amazing influence.  Wu County refused to send food and grass to Tu Wanxu, and other powerful counties followed suit. Moreover, most of the counties and counties in the east of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of bandits, and each place had no time to take care of itself. Tu Wanxu did not get much food at all.

    When Yu Juluo arrived in Wuxian County, because of Huang Mingyuan's relationship, Huang Mingxiang treated Yu Juluo very politely, but he kept silent about Yu Juluo's request for food.

    For Huang Mingxiang, Yu Juluo was just his brother's former boss, and he was not qualified to make an exception for him. He was already giving him face by being polite to him.

    Yu Juluo stayed in Wu County for a few days, put down his body and begged.  Huang Mingxiang just reasoned that there was chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and there was no food at all. If he wanted food, he would have to wait until next summer for the harvest.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the summer grain harvest next year, the day lilies will be cold, and they will not be able to survive this year without food.  Yu Juluo came to Wuxian County with high hopes. Only then did he realize that the other person was not Huang Mingyuan, and he didn't have that much face.

    Yu Juluo left Wu County helplessly.

    Huang Mingxiang stood in Wu County and sent Yu Juluo away. Looking at Yu Juluo's back, he couldn't help but said to his wife Shen Luoyan: "In such a scene, I feel like a traitor who has harmed loyal ministers."

    Shen Luoyan said: "Lang Jun is soft-hearted?"

    Huang Mingxiang shook his head and said: "I am just feeling a little emotional, but I will not be soft-hearted. I have done nothing wrong. Being soft-hearted towards the enemy at this time may lead to death in the future. I just feel that fortunately I am alone  Here, if my brother were here, he would not approve of what I did."

    Shen Luoyan leaned on her husband's arms and said, "My brother is a sage, but he doesn't bother to do this. But we have to clear the obstacles for him."

    Both Huang Mingxiang and Shen Luoyan believe that everything they do is meaningful.

    In November, the weather in Jiangnan is also very cold, and it actually snows in some places.

    Although most of Tu Wanxu¡¯s subordinates were disciples of Guanzhong and were familiar with the wind and snow in winter, they came from afar and did not bring fur coats or other clothing to keep out the cold.

    And it seems that everyone is in trouble with Tu Wanxu, Yu Juluo doesn't followWu County brought back grain, and none of the other counties sent grain to Jinling City.  Even Jiangdu, where Tu Wanxu had high hopes, did not send back any food.  Jiangdu Palace Supervisor Wang Shichong reported back that there were many water bandits on the river, and it was not safe to transport grain to the south of the Yangtze River. Tu Wanxu could come to Jiangdu to get grain, but if he wanted to send it to him, there was no way.

    The Sui army in Jinling City was short of clothes and food, and life was very difficult.

    Everyone huddled in Jinling City. Many soldiers went to rob in groups because they had no food. The officials not only ignored them, but also took the initiative to take the lead.  The people first robbed food, and then they robbed clothes and women.  Each of these soldiers was almost like a bandit, making the people of Piling miserable.

    The local people were full of resentment towards the Sui army, which further inspired their resistance to the Sui army.  Since late November, many villages and towns around Piling County have organized spontaneously to resist the Sui army who went to the countryside to rob.

    The whole Piling County was in chaos.

    Tu Wanxu also didn¡¯t expect that this summer would be so hot and how could the winter be so cold.  If Tu Wanxu had studied high school geography, he would have understood that this is the La Ni?a phenomenon, which makes southern my country cold in winter and hot in summer.

    But no one understands, so everyone regards the change in the sky as a punishment from God.

    I don¡¯t know when it started. Rumors spread among the army. They all said that the emperor was immoral and God warned them that they would all die in Jiangdong. It was better to go back as soon as possible.

    Suddenly, the morale of the military was unstable and the people's hearts were in chaos.

    Tu Wanxu knew clearly that if things continued like this, this powerful team would be ruined.  For the current plan, the best strategy is to withdraw to Jiangdu as soon as possible and carry out repairs.

    Jiangdu at least has no shortage of food.

    Looking at the snowflakes scattered in the sky, I was filled with doubts for a moment.  Is it really a celestial warning? Otherwise, how could there have been floods, droughts, and snow for three consecutive years?

    Tu Wanxu sent away the memorial to Yang Guang and organized the army to retreat.  Although it was a taboo to withdraw troops without an order, the current situation did not allow him to hesitate.  He may not be able to survive the day when the emperor decrees it.

    Everyone walked north along the canal and left Jinling City.  Tu Wanxu looked forward to quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan next year, but what Tu Wanxu didn't know was that he would never return to Jinling City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
