To Zhu Zanyi, it did not matter if Cangwu City was burned or not, but the provisions in Cangwu City could not be burned.
Although it wasn't far from Liuzhou Prefecture to Wuzhou Prefecture, Zhu Zanyi had spent a full ten days to get there.
In these ten days, the rations used by the hundred thousand strong army was already a huge expenditure.
Originally, Zhu Zanyi had thought that the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion's ten years of accumulation would be enough to feed the 230,000 soldiers for a year and a half.
However, this time, he led a hundred thousand troops to attack Wuzhou. He was determined to win.
The rations they brought were only enough to sustain the army of 100,000 for about a month.
In his opinion, even if a small Wuzhou resisted resolutely, it would definitely not be able to last half a month in front of his 100,000-strong army.
As long as they took down Cangwu City, they would naturally be able to replenish their rations.
However, he had never thought that things would turn out this way.
Within Cangwu, not only were there no civilians, even Cangwu City had become an empty city.
He thought that there was an ambush in Cangwu City, which was why he put on such a show.
But now, it seemed that there was no ambush. In Zhu Zanyi's opinion, there was no other possibility except for the local officials and civilians fleeing when they heard the news.
Zhu Zanyi was depressed!
If you want to run, then run!
Can't you make a sound?
He had made such a big mistake.
If this fire burned all the grain in the city, it would be too late.
Then he would really be in a difficult situation.
It was not possible to travel from Wuzhou to Nanning in ten days.
It would take at least twenty days.
If they ran out of rations midway, the 100,000 strong army would mutiny.
At this moment, Zhu Zanyi could only pray that the heavens would take care of him and that the provisions in the city would not be burned!
Half a day later, Cangwu City was under the suppression of the 100,000-strong army.
The fire in the city was finally extinguished.
However, the entire Cangwu City had basically become a ruin.
Walking on the streets of Cangwu City, he looked at the pitch-black ground.
Zhu Zanyi was filled with regret.
Just as Zhu Zanyi was feeling regretful, his trusted aide rushed over.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Not good, not good!"
Before he arrived, his voice was heard.
Zhu Zanyi's anger had not subsided. Without thinking, he picked up the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it.
"What are you howling for? Your Wangye is doing very well. Tell me, how are the rations?”
The trusted aide did not dare to scream after being whipped. He only stammered and did not dare to make a sound.
Zhu Zanyi glared and said,
"You didn't save him? Damn it, don't tell me that all the rations have been burned? Even if the rations were burned, what about the gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons? Is there nothing left?"
"Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, this king will shave you!"
The trusted aide held it in for a long time before saying,
"Not at all."
Zhu Zanyi was stunned.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
The trusted aide did not dare to hide anything and could only tell the truth,
"Your Highness, the Wuzhou warehouse is intact, but, but there's nothing on your face. The entire warehouse is cleaner than your face.”
"Ah?"
Zhu Zanyi was shocked.
"No? How was this possible? There were so many provisions, weapons, bows, and crossbows. Even if the officials in the city escaped, they wouldn't be able to carry so many things in one go! How can there be none?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said,
"None of the officials in Cangwu City seem to have escaped. They are all in the warehouse.”
Zhu Zanyi was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
The trusted aide said,
"They were all killed! Your Highness, we seem to have been schemed against. Cangwu City has been robbed and the entire city seems to have been emptied!”
" What did you say?!"
Zhu Zanyi's eyes instantly widened, and his mind exploded!
Was it intercepted?
He led the 100,000-strong army to Cangwu City, ready to expand his strength.
However, he did not expect that the entire Cangwu City would become an empty city.
Now, he was told that all the resources in Cangwu City had been emptied.
How could he accept this?
Instantly, Zhu Zanyi felt his head heat up, and the blood in his chest churned.
"Puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
When the surrounding people saw this, they turned pale with fright.
Zhu Zanyi's trusted aide ran over to Zhu Zanyi's side and held him up, exclaiming,"
"Wangye, are you alright?"
After Zhu Zanyi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale.
Suddenly, he pushed his trusted aide away and said angrily,"
"Get lost!"
The trusted aide was so frightened that he took three steps back and sat on the ground with a pale face.
Zhu Zanyi was like a furious lion, his face flushed red. He patted his horse and charged straight for Cangwu Warehouse.
When he arrived at the Cangwu warehouse, he saw three warehouses. The doors were open, but they were empty.
There was also a line of words written above the door of the warehouse in the middle:
King Jingjiang's army was here!
He saw this extremely pimple-like line of words.
Zhu Zanyi blacked out and almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, the guards beside him quickly supported him.
Zhu Zanyi did not recover for a long time.
It was only after half a day that he slowly regained some of his spirit, but he shouted,
"This is too much, too much!"
When his emotions reached a critical point.
Zhu Zanyi roared,
"Gather the army! Chase after him!"
At this moment, his trusted aide appeared out of nowhere and asked hesitantly,
"Your Highness, where are we going?"
Zhu Zanyi froze at those words.
Suddenly, Zhu Zanyi did not say a word. He unsheathed the sword at his waist.
Then, a cold light flashed, and a huge head soared into the sky.
The one who died was his trusted aide who had a hesitant expression on his face.
Looking at the expression of that trusted aide, he probably didn't know why Zhu Zanyi wanted to kill him even when he was fine.
After Zhu Zanyi killed his trusted aide, he said angrily,"
"Gather the army! All of you, pursue the south at all costs! I won't stop until I see the enemy leader!"
Following Zhu Zanyi's order.
The 100,000-strong army quickly gathered and headed south.
