But when the spies reported that there were nearly 1.2 million troops in the Imperial City of Chilin, everyone was no longer excited. They just felt that this battle would definitely be more difficult than the previous ones.

The trapped beast still fought hard. The Chilin Emperor had already made a desperate bet. He was determined to fight them to the death.

As a monarch, even though he was cruel, the Chilin Emperor still had many loyal soldiers. Most of the soldiers transferred to the Imperial City by the Chilin Emperor were particularly loyal to the Chilin Emperor. Although a small number of them were not so loyal, as Chilin people, they still decided to defend the Imperial City and prevent Chilin from being razed.

And these 1.2 million soldiers were almost all elite soldiers and generals.

It can be seen how difficult it was to capture it.

Including Xiao Changyi, everyone thought that it was impossible to capture the Chilin Imperial City in one go. It might take many attacks. They did not have enough food and grass, and they did not know enough about the Chilin Imperial City. They could not attack rashly.

Thinking that the food and grass were not sufficient and everyone had not had a full meal in the past few days, An Jing said, "No matter what, we have to wait for the food and grass to arrive first."

How can we have the strength to fight if we are not full?

Xiao Changyi also knew this and nodded, "Chengyu sent people to deliver food and grass four months ago. Calculating the time, it should arrive in the next few days." After a pause, "The grain transport officer is Youbao."

An Jing immediately smiled, "I have already told Wu Yu about it. Wu Yu was very happy to hear that Youbao was delivering food and grass. It has been almost three years since she joined the army. She and Youbao have not met each other. It's good for the couple to take this opportunity to meet each other."

At the beginning, Li Wu Yu joined the army and received training in the military camp in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital. Wang Youbao was a salt transporter in the Nan Shen area. The two could not meet at all. Later, Li Wu Yu went to war with the army, and it was even more impossible for him to meet Wang Youbao.

In mid-September last year, Wang Youbao's term as the salt transport envoy had expired. Because of his outstanding achievements as the salt transport envoy, Su Chengyu had transferred Wang Youbao back to the imperial capital. Now Wang Youbao is the treasury supervisor.

The treasury supervisor is a second-rank official, in charge of all matters of the treasury. Such an important position shows that Su Chengyu really values ​​Wang Youbao and trusts him.

Before, Su Chengyu wrote a letter saying that Wang Youbao asked to be transferred to the military camp as soon as he returned to the capital, and wanted to fight, but Su Chengyu did not agree.

If it were An Jing and Xiao Changyi, they would not agree either.

Compared with being a soldier, Wang Youbao is more suitable to be an official.

Three days later, Wang Youbao, the grain transport officer, finally delivered the grain.

It took more than four months to get from Xiyun Imperial Capital to outside the Chilin Imperial City. Fortunately, although the journey was long, nothing happened, and the grain was delivered safely and intact.

Finally, everyone was happy that they didn't have to go hungry.

Xiao Changyi immediately ordered the cook to cook so that everyone could have a full meal first. When everyone heard this, they cheered.

When An Jing saw Wang Youbao, she smiled and said, "Youbao, you have worked hard all the way."

Wang Youbao immediately said ashamedly, "How can it be as hard as you, Master, fighting."

An Jing knew Wang Youbao very well, and naturally knew that this was not Wang Youbao's modesty, but Wang Youbao's true words. An Jing smiled a little bigger: "These few days, your master and I have been thinking about you. We were afraid that you finally came, but we all starved to death."

Wang Youbao knew that An Jing was joking, and he also laughed, "Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, so we were able to arrive in time."
