Chapter 226: Food is in short supply
The general's tent was very spacious, with a very large square table in the middle, half of which contained a large military map, and the other half of which contained pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and several volumes of copywriting and drawings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There were no chairs or stools at the table, and only the high hall was the throne of a general.
In the middle of the tent, a thick carpet is spread, all made of white tiger fur. There were all kinds of weapons hanging around, and there was a white cloth with a few words written in charcoal and a few hand-drawn sketches.
There were three people standing in the tent, and in the middle stood a burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very powerful. Qi Moqian stood respectfully on his right hand, and on the other side stood a middle-aged man, with a slender figure, thin cheeks, deep eyes, and shrewdness and wisdom in his eyes.
Zhou Chengkuan walked to the tent, bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general will see the general, see the Wei army." ”
Qi Ruying nodded, glanced at Lin Wan, who was standing respectfully in the corner of the tent, and said quietly: "Qian'er and Shuhuai go out first, let me think about this matter again." After a pause, he said: "Qian'er, since Chengkuan is here, you can go back to the city tomorrow, the matter on your father's side is also very tricky, don't let people with intentions take the opportunity to create chaos." ”
"Yes, General!" Qi Moqian and Wei Shuhuai bowed and turned out of the camp.
Lin Wan stood in the corner in an orderly manner, bowing his head and lowering his eyes, trying to reduce his sense of existence. However, she clearly felt an unfamiliar gaze lingering on her for a long time, making her feel very uncomfortable.
It wasn't until only Qi Ruying and Zhou Chengkuan were left in the camp tent that Lin Wan slowly raised his head, smiled at Qi Ruying, bent his knees, and said, "Wan'er has seen Uncle Qi." ”
Qi Ruying smiled faintly and said: "Wan'er, I already know everything you have done in Lianbi City, you have not only solved the economic problems of Lianbi City, but also solved the problem of food and grass in the army, Uncle Qi thanked you on behalf of the people in the city and the soldiers in the army." ”
Lin Wan shook his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Qi is too polite, they are all his own people, it doesn't matter who helped whom, it's all for the common good!"
Qi Ruying couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Lin Wan's straightforward words, and then said with a smile: "Wan'er is really smart and honest. ”
Lin Wan smiled faintly, changed the subject, and asked, "Uncle Qi, did they go to Qicheng?"
Qi Ruying smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, Gongzi Zhou plans to go to meet Li Xingyu first as a registered disciple of the Medicine King Valley." ”
Lin Wan pondered for a moment, met Qi Ruying's gaze, and pleaded: "Uncle Qi, Wan'er has something to ask for." ”
Qi Ruying was noncommittal, and his eagle-like sharp eyes looked at Lin Wan inquiringly.
Lin Wan was not afraid, and said sincerely: "Uncle Qi, I want to ask you to let Brother Chengkuan go to Qicheng to find Li Xingyu to buy military rations in the name of the Eastern Qi army, and I will accompany you as a maid." ”
Qi Ruying looked at Lin Wan's serious eyes, frowned and persuaded: "Wan'er, this is very dangerous, and you don't know martial arts, if something happens, how can I explain to the Zhao family and Zhou Gongzi?"
Lin Wan smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle Qi, you must already know that there are spies in the military camp who are secretly colluding with Li Xingyu, you just need to let out the rumors that there is a shortage of food in the army, so send General Zhou to negotiate with Li Xingyu, if it doesn't work, you can only ask the court for help." ”
Qi Ruying's brows furrowed even tighter, waiting for Lin Wan's explanation with a puzzled face.
Lin Wan continued: "First of all, if the spies in the army are not eliminated for a day, Uncle Qi will definitely have trouble sleeping. We can take this opportunity to find a way to find this spy and use him to help us pass on the false news and lure Xingyu into the bait. ”
Qi Ruying nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Lin Wan said again: "In this way, if we go to Dongli, Li Xingyu will definitely not embarrass Brother Chengkuan, but he will not sell grain to the Dongqi army, there is only one possibility, that is, drag." And what we want is to stabilize him first, and then act at the opportunity. ”
"Well, Wan'er has a point. Qi Ruying thought for a while and asked, "However, if you want to rescue Commander Zhao, how can you succeed with just a few of you?"
Lin Wan smiled helplessly and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but this matter is imperative, I believe that so many of us will take care of each other, and we will definitely find an opportunity." ”
Qi Ruying finally nodded and said, "Okay, you guys will leave tomorrow." ”
Zhou Chengkuan respectfully clenched his fists and saluted, "Yes, general." ”
Lin Wan also smiled happily and said, "Thank you Uncle Qi for your success." ”
Zhou Chengkuan bowed and clenched his fists, and asked: "General, the city lord has sent an army to escort the military rations, and he will be able to arrive tonight." Do you want to hide outside the camp first, and then send the spies in when they find out?"
Qi Ruying nodded and said, "Well, let's hide outside first, Wan'er is right, if you don't get rid of the spy for a day, it will be a hidden danger." Let's put on a play to find out this collaborator. ”
Zhou Chengkuan commanded: "Yes, the last general will arrange it." ”
"Go, take Wan'er to rest first. Qi Ruying commanded.
Out of the general's camp tent, Zhou Chengkuan was busy arranging military rations, so he ordered Abu to take Lin Wan, Gale Wind, and Qingtong to his camp tent to rest.
Zhou Chengkuan's camp tent is in a secluded place far away from the general's camp tent, there are soldiers guarding outside the tent, not far behind the camp tent is a mountain forest, there is a circle of sentinels around the edge of the mountain forest, there are sentry posts in the high places, and a large number of soldiers are faintly visible in the mountain forest in drills.
The tent is not large, there are two rooms inside and outside, and there is only one bed, a soft couch, a table and a chair in the inner room. Outside, there is a bookcase, a low table, two chairs, and a short couch.
Lin Wan and Qingtong rested in the room, and Gale Le meditated outside.
In front of the camp of the Eastern Qi army is a mountain forest, on both sides of the mountain forest are very high peaks, after this mountain forest is the Feng Li River, and the other side of the Feng Li River is the East Li Kingdom.
At the end of the Shen period, the sun gradually slanted to the west, and the wind of Feng Lijiang whistled through the mountains and forests, and Lin Wan walked out of the camp tent and saw the smoke in the distance.
After a while, an old soldier came over with a food box, and when he came closer, the old soldier bowed down and asked, "Is it Miss Amu?"
Lin Wan nodded and said, "I'm Amu, thank you uncle for bringing us dinner, it's hard work." ”
The veteran was very kind, and smiled and said: "Miss Amu is so polite, this is what I should do, it was General Zhou who asked me to send it to you first, you came from afar, you must be hungry, please come in and eat." ”
Lin Wan nodded, lifted the curtain, and entered the camp with the veteran.
The veteran carefully placed the food box on the low table. Qingtong heard the sound and hurriedly came out of the inner room to help set the dishes and chopsticks.
Qingtong opened the lid of the food box, took out three large bowls of steaming white rice porridge from the first layer of the food box, and placed them on the low table.
There were two layers in the food box, and the veteran took the first layer that was already empty, and from the lower layer brought out a small plate of green vegetables and three fist-sized white flour steamed buns. (To be continued.) )
