The next day, there was still chaos in the Qin army's camp, because of the shortage of food and grass, nearly half of the people had no food. In addition, there has been no military salary for a month, and it can be said that there are many complaints in the Qin army, and many Qin soldiers have already had the idea of going home, if it were not for the Qin army's punishment for deserters being too severe, I am afraid that Wang Qian's men and horses have been reduced by at least two percent of the ten percent at this time.

Li Mu has been observing what happened in the Qin army's camp, and from last night to today's daytime, information about the Qin army's camp has come from outside the city one after another. Li Mu has not slept in bed all night since he received the shortage of grain and grass from the Qin army last night, because in his opinion, it is impossible for the commander to make a mistake in the matter of grain and grass in order to achieve the position of Wang Jian and himself, and he has been wondering if this is a trap set by Wang Jian for himself.

Fan Yu came to the hall of the county guard mansion early, and Li Mudu had not yet come when he arrived. Fan Yuzhi sat down in the lobby and closed his eyes to recuperate, and it was not until the end of the hour that Li Mu walked in from outside with a piece of dough cake in his hand.

Fan Yuqi stood up to salute, Li Mu finished eating the bread in his hand, took a glass of water poured by the soldiers next to him and rinsed his mouth, and then walked to the main seat and sat down. He said to Fan Yuzhi: "Why did General Fan come so early today?"

Fan Yuzhi replied: "General Hui, the villain is here to sneak attack the Qin army camp tonight. The general also knows that Wang Jian is the person who is most relied on by King Yingzheng of Qin now, and it is also a bargaining chip that he uses to wrestle with the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and Xiangguo Lu Buwei, if we can defeat him this time, then Yingzheng's status in the court of Qin will definitely decline. Then we will send someone to add some firewood in front of Lü Buwei and add fire, then the Qin State will inevitably be disrupted. Then we will push Chang'an Jun, the younger brother of the King of Qin, in front of us, and defeat Yingzheng and ascend to the throne, so won't those cities that we have been plundered by the Qin army before be returned to the hands of my Zhao State?"

Li Mu didn't care much about the things above the court, but Fan Yuqi had already made it very clear, that is, as long as Wang Jian could be defeated this time, then the court of the Qin State would be in chaos, and the Zhao State would be able to take advantage of it when the time came.

"General Fan is worthy of staying in the Qin State for more than ten years, and I am afraid that there will never be a second person in the Zhao State who is familiar with the affairs of the Qin State and the court like General Fan. Li Mu said with a smile, "Okay, it depends on whether we can defeat Wang Qian's prestige in one fell swoop tonight, and I will leave this matter to General Fan." ”

"The last general will not fail in his mission. ”

In the tent of the commander of the Qin army's battalion, Wang Jian was pacing back and forth in the tent, and he had already ordered someone to invite Meng Wu's father and son, Yang Duanhe and his battalion generals. Just now, a soldier came to report that the scouts of the Zhao army were still investigating outside the camp. Wang Jian wanted to gather everyone to discuss countermeasures, and if his expectations were good, Zhao Jun would definitely take action tonight or tomorrow night.

Meng Wu and Meng Tian walked into the tent first, followed by Zhang Tang and Li Xin, followed by Yang Duanhe and many generals. When everyone arrived, Wang Jian looked at everyone and said, "The person sent by the commander to observe the spies of the Zhao army came back and said that the spies of the Zhao army are still observing us outside, so everyone should pay attention and be optimistic that the soldiers under their command will not show their stuffing." If Li Mu is fooled, then they will definitely take action tomorrow night, so it's late

You still have to be careful. ”

"The last will obey. ”

Meng Wu said to Wang Qian: "Don't worry, our army's food and grass are still enough to support half a month, and in the past few days, I have ordered the quartermaster to reduce the rations of all the soldiers, and killed several sick war horses, just for fear that these spies will be suspicious." ”

Zhang Tang also said: "In order to avenge General Meng, the soldiers under him are all gearing up, as long as these Zhao troops dare to come, we will definitely let them not eat and walk around." ”

After Zhang Tang finished speaking, everyone in the tent, including Wang Qian, looked at him. Zhang Tang didn't know why, after he finished speaking, everyone looked at him, touched his face, and laughed.

Meng Tian said: "General Zhang is wrong, we can't let these people go, but we must release water when it's time to release it." There is no urgency to avenge my grandfather, the reason why we are doing this this time is to cover Lord Yang to infiltrate the Shangdang City, the general must remember. ”

"Ah, the monster will be negligent for a moment, and forget about this great event. Zhang Tang came to his senses.

Wang Jian said to everyone: "I don't want to say anything more about it, whether it is successful or not depends on the battle tonight or tomorrow night, you each go back to the camp to prepare." Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Duanhe, the three of you stay, and Ben Shuai has something to discuss with you. ”

After seeing that the other generals in the tent had left, Wang Jian looked at Yang Duanhe and said, "How is it, are you ready?"

Yang Duanhe nodded, and he said: "Don't worry, although I am a civilian official now, I have also followed the commander to the battlefield and cut off his head, and things in the army are not difficult for me." Besides, I came this time just to persuade Chang Anjun to change his mind, as long as I know it with affection and reason, it shouldn't be a difficult thing. ”

Wang Jian looked at Yang Duan and Liang Jiu, and then said: "If you can calm down the party this time, you should take the first credit." If so......"

"If the villain doesn't succeed, I just hope that the big man can save my family, I will be grateful. Yang Duanhe said resolutely, and after finishing speaking, he bowed down and saluted Wang Qian.

Meng Tian stepped forward to help Yang Duanhe up, and he said to Yang Duanhe: "Lord Yang, we haven't started yet, why don't you have confidence in yourself." That's not what you told me that day in Xianyang City. ”

Yang Duanhe hugged his fist at Meng Tian and said: "The young general laughed, there is a chance in everything, if I fail to persuade Chang Anjun, my life is a trivial matter, but the place of the party is related to the future direction of my Great Qin, and it is very important in the eyes of the king, I just want to do my best to do this well." ”

Meng Wu also persuaded on the side: "I can understand Lord Yang's mood, no one is sure that he will succeed before he succeeds, even if Lord Yang enters the city, even if the Lord fails, the handsome and I, as well as the nearly 200,000 soldiers, will definitely regain the land of Shangdang." ”

Yang Duanhe went back to prepare, and Meng Wu and Meng Tian also chatted with Wang Jian for a while in the handsome tent and left. The camp of the Qin army was divided into several areas, and the 100,000 troops brought by Wang Jian from Xianyang City were the front army and the Chinese army, and the camp tent was in the place where the camp was directly opposite Shangdang City. Meng Tian followed Wang Jian here, and Zhang Tang led by Meng Qian before

The remnants of the army, together with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses recruited from other county towns along the way, were the rear army, responsible for all the supply of grain, grass and military supplies for the army. These few days are the busiest time for Meng Wu, because he is under the nose of Zhao Jun's spies, so there are more things to worry about, but fortunately, Meng Tian is here, and he just happens to help his father share some military affairs.

As soon as Meng Wu and Meng Tian returned to the rear barracks, they were stopped by a soldier who rushed to the tent before they could sit down. "General Qiyu, there is a fight between two groups of soldiers because of the uneven distribution of rations, and the quartermaster called the villain to invite the general. ”

Meng Wugang wanted to speak, but Meng Tian preemptively said, "Well, I know, let's lead the way." ”

Meng Wu looked at Meng Tian, only to see Meng Tian winking at him, and then the father and son followed behind the soldier who reported the news.

When I arrived at the place, it was originally a fight between a few people at the beginning, but now it is a fight between the two standard soldiers, the scene is very fierce, and there are already people lying on the ground, pulled aside by the Qin army who is responsible for distributing military supplies next to them, and the rest of the people are still fighting, and they don't notice the arrival of Meng Wu and Meng Tian at all.

Meng Wugang wanted to step forward to stop him, but Meng Tian grabbed his father's sleeve and said, "I'll deal with this matter, father." ”

Meng Wu agreed to Meng Tian's request, he knew in his heart that his son had a lot of ideas, since he had hinted at himself just now, then he must have his reasons for thinking about it.

Meng Wu stepped forward and asked the Qin soldiers with weapons around him to go up and pull away the two bidders who were fighting. The two bidders who were fighting noticed that their generals had arrived, and they also stopped in a hurry, standing on both sides, hating each other.

Meng Tian didn't ask these people why they were all in trouble, but just called the quartermaster to him. The two bidders who were fighting only saw that the quartermaster did not know what to say to the general, and the general's face became very ugly, and the eyes of these people who looked at him seemed to be full of anger.

After listening to the quartermaster's speech, Meng Tian stepped forward and said to these people who were fighting: "What a boldness, you dare to fight in the barracks because of two bowls of porridge and one steamed bun, if I hadn't come, wouldn't I have caused trouble? The people who came took off the military uniforms of these people, and each of them beat each of them with twenty military sticks, and then expelled them from the barracks." ”

These people who were fighting didn't expect this young general to punish so severely, and they all panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Meng Wu also felt that Meng Tian had punished these soldiers too severely, and wanted to intercede. But before he could open his mouth, Meng Tian sent someone to take these people away, and then he himself followed, saying that he was going to personally supervise the punishment.

Meng Wu had no choice but to stay and deal with other things, and he comforted the Qin soldiers around him, but this process was accompanied by the bitter shouts of more than a dozen soldiers, and Meng Wu was also uncertain about whether it would have an effect.

After Meng Wu disposed of it, he returned to the military tent, but saw that Meng Tian had already returned and was sitting in the tent drinking water. Meng Wu walked in and sat down, and then said to Meng Tian: "It is common in this army to fight over food problems, are you doing this too harshly?" ”

Meng Tian walked up to his father and poured a bowl of hot water for his father, and then said, "Father doesn't know, this is actually just a play." ”

"A play?"
