The atmosphere of Baoqing became more and more tense. The Shuntian Army from Shangqinglin was more and more harassment. After the Shuntian Army retreated to Baoqing, the Chu people who controlled Baoqing demarcated the territory for the Shuntian Army. The places where more than 100,000 Shuntian Army soldiers and civilians could move freely were only Shangqinglin and Qinglin. The Chu people did not allow them to enter the only plain area in Baoqingqing.

The Chu people were no better than the Shuntian Army. They had rich governance experience. After they were based in Baoqing, they decided to build it into a bridgehead and base for the second battlefield to build a solid territory for the future alignment and combat. To achieve this, of course, it is impossible to rely on support materials from the sea forever. They must find ways to solve some of the supplies themselves. Then, building Baoqing is one of the urgent tasks on the table.

Of course, the Chu people would not allow the Shuntian Army to be involved in this plain area.

But as the New Year approaches, the confrontation between the two sides has become stronger and stronger. The Chu people did have food, but this food comes from the distant Chu State. The Chu people worked hard to break through the sea harassment of the Qi people and finally transported it over. When the Shuntian Army was their right-hand man, they were of course generous. But now, the Shuntian Army has lost its value of utilization and has become a dying zombie snake. It would be too unworthy to give them a large amount of food.

The Chu people's calculations were that they still had to give food, but they could only ensure that they would not be starved to death in large quantities. The consequence of shortage of food was that the morale of the army was unstable and the army was disintegrating. More and more people fled from the Shuntian Army. They only needed to bleed against the Shuntian Army without interruption. The Shuntian Army would become weaker and weaker, and Molo could control them.

The continuous food is not to arouse the fierce reaction of the Shuntian Army. This is a process of boiling frogs in warm water, squeezing the Shuntian Army bit by bit, and finally achieving the goal of self-defeat without fighting.

Under the current situation, Cheng Wuben has the confidence to reach an agreement with the Taiping Army, so that both sides will not be in a state of opposing the enemy and achieve a tacit cooperation. The one among them is Molo. If Molo is not solved, the Taiping Army will not be able to truly cooperate with the Chu people.

Basically, there is no error in this strategy, but whether it is Cheng Wuben, Jiang Tao, Yang or Ma Xiangnan, they all overlooked the most fundamental point, that is, Molo is a crazy guy, and when they guess Molo based on common sense, they are already wrong from the bottom of the problem.

Moluo was not stupid. He guessed the general thought of the Chu people. After he decided to turn against each other, he immediately adopted a sinister plan to hide a part of the limited amount of food transported by the Chu people, barely enough to survive. However, he claimed that the Chu people had only transported so much food.

To promote Mien, fight against Mien!

The hungry Shuntian Army began to cross-border harassment and robbery, and most of these small-scale, unsystematic, unplanned, random attacks and robberies ended in failure, and the people caught by the Chu army naturally ended up with one blow. However, a small number of successful people also felt that they were full of money.

Dead people will cause hatred and opposition, while those who succeed will make those who wait and see will be jealous.

The seeds of hatred between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper. In the sky of Baoqing, storms have begun to pour in. Molo, who is planning all this, continues to fuel the fire, pushing this incident more and more to **.

The hungry people need food and angry emotions need to be released. Now Molo has nothing, but he has countless hungry and angry people.

Now, as long as he throws a little fire into this angry volcano, he will inevitably turn into an angry flame in the sky, burning away all obstacles that are blocking the front.

Just like he did two years ago.

"General Jiang, the situation is very wrong now!" Ma Xiangnan was worried. Cheng Wuben left Baoqing and went to Taiping City, and he would not be able to come back for a while. But now Baoqing's confrontation with Shuntian Army showed signs of losing control.

Since Cheng Wuben arrived in Baoqing, Jiang Tao's pressure was greatly reduced. The shadow of the Chu army's failure in the last battle with the Taiping Army was swept away because of the arrival of the old general. These soldiers belonged to the eastern border army of Chu and were Cheng Wuben's old subordinates. They naturally believed that the arrival of the old general would inevitably resolve their current predicament. Even Jiang Tao felt that the pressure on his body was greatly reduced. He was originally haggard, and he had already begun to slowly restore his original style.

After hearing Ma Xiangnan's words, Jiang Tao didn't care: "Moro probably wanted to take the risk. I think he had already judged that we were going to give up his plan."

Ma Xiangnan was shocked when he heard this: "If Molo turns his back and fights, it will be terrible."

"There is nothing to worry about." Jiang Tao laughed: "Shishou Cheng had expected this. During this period, our troops have been deployed, and the main force has been on guard against this. Molo has lost its value of use, and to join forces with the Taiping Army, solving Molo is one of the inevitable conditions. This battle will be fought sooner or later. Although it is better to fight later than earlier, since Molo wants to take action now, it is no big deal."

"They have more than 100,000 people!" Ma Xiangnan stroked his beard and thought about the comparison of troops between the two sides, and a sense of worry arose.

"It's just a group of mobs." Jiang Tao smiled indifferently: "Ma Gong, don't forget that when Moro was strong and strong, he had no choice but to fight against the Taiping Army at Qianliu Mountain. Now our troops are much stronger than Qin Feng at Qianliu Mountain at that time, and our soldiers' combat power is not inferior to that of the Taiping Army, and even more so, what are you going to worry about?"

After pausing, he continued, "Moro will do it first, but we will save us moral trouble. If you want to die yourself, then we will no longer blame us."

"Will the Taiping Army in Baoxing take advantage of the situation to rob?" Ma Xiangnan asked.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "When Cheng Shuai left, he had already secretly retreated a thousand people over there. Now the form of our Taiping Army is very subtle, and they will not take action at this time."

"I'll feel at ease like this." Seeing that Jiang Tao had already made all preparations in the military, Ma Xiangnan felt relieved. Baoqing now has five thousand well-equipped soldiers with extremely rich combat experience, which is the greatest confidence of the Chu army. Moreover, the battle between Shuntian Army in Qianliushan also allowed the Chu army to find out the background of Shuntian Army. Jiang Tao was not very concerned about Moro's possible counterattack.

He had made all preparations and was waiting for Molo to hit him. He would let Molo understand why the Eastern Frontier Congress was called the iron wall by the powerful Qi team.

According to Jiang Tao's estimate, the ability of the Shuntian Army to continue attacking can last for one day at most. If they cannot defeat the Chu army within one day, they will collapse themselves because in one day, they will no longer have any supplies.

"Ma Gong, during this period, don't go back to Baoqing City, just stay in the port area. We don't have enough troops to deploy in Baoqing City. We just need to firmly guard Baoqing Port." Jiang Tao said.

"Okay! I'll stay in Baoqing Port. After taking away Molo's stumbling block, Baoqing's affairs will be easier." Ma Xiangnan nodded.

"I solved Molo, but Baoqing still has so many refugees. I am only good at fighting wars. After the war, everything depends on Ma Gong." Jiang Tao said with a smile.

"This is my expertise!" Ma Xiangnan had been on the local area for a long time. "I have survived this winter and in the spring next year, I began to organize spring plowing and strive to solve some of the food and grass problems by myself. This has been transported by long-distance trips in China. The cost is too high and there are too many unpredictable factors."

After going to Qinglin, Molo, who had been out for more than ten days, finally returned to his tile house with Chenchen. The house that had been broken half of the wall had been repaired. The generals of Shuntian Army gathered here again. This time, Molo's depressed and anger had disappeared, and replaced by confidence.

"King, we have already started to burn." Bao Hua said excitedly: "Now our army more than 100,000 are screaming and going to fight against the Chu army. As long as you give the order."

Molo laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, hold them in a little longer and make the fire stronger. Hunger and fear are now our greatest strength. This time, we have won steadily."

Looking at the people in the room, he smiled and said, "Let me tell you a good news first. This time I went out and found Wu Ling. He has agreed to cooperate with us."

"Wu Ling?" Everyone in the house was surprised: "He is still alive?"

"Although I'm still alive, I'm living even worse than us." Moro smiled, "So, his willingness to get out of the current predicament is stronger than us. But this is not the best news I've got when I go out this time. The other one is about our future prospects."

Staring at the expectant eyes of everyone, Mo Luo said word by word: "Luo Yishui is still alive, and he has made up his mind to rebel against Yue Chao. This time I also went to Zhengyang County and found a secret line of the Luo family before. I learned from him that Luo Yishui had indeed gone to find him and they were ready to revenge."
