"Yun Yehe is dead?" Fang Qian repeated, you're not kidding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'm not kidding, that's what I really think. Jiang Hongyuan said: "Have you found a trace of Yunye Crane?"

"But don't forget, when we were ambushed and retreated, we saw the main formation of Yunye Crane, and you also saw it, and Yunye Crane was sitting in that carriage. Fang Qian wanted to remind Jiang Hongyuan of the events of that day.

"I know, but we were just watching from afar, and besides, we were in a hurry to retreat, so who would have taken a closer look to see if it was the crane on the chariot? Jiang Hongyuan said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for us? ”

Fang Qian sighed: "I can't talk about you, but what you said seems to have some truth, but you need to tell Zhu Qi first." ”

"I'm going to ...... it" Before Jiang Hongyuan could finish speaking, a noisy sound suddenly came, and before the two people could react, a soldier immediately ran over.

"Why is it so noisy?" Fang Qian said.

"Grain, grass on fire!" replied the soldier breathlessly.

"What!" Fang Qian and Jiang Hongyuan realized that something was wrong, and immediately ran in the direction of the grain and grass, but they didn't notice that there was a black shadow running in the opposite direction.

When two men arrived, the fire was largely under control and everyone was counting the damage. Zhu Qi was standing motionless in front of the charred grain and grass.

"Your Excellency?" Fang Qian stepped forward and said.

"General Fang, you're here. There was not a trace of emotion in Zhu Qi's words.

A grain and grass quartermaster stepped forward and saluted: "Commander, the losses have been counted." ”

Say. ”

"The fire burned most of the grain and grass, but fortunately, a tenth remained, but it could only last for five days at most, after which the whole army could be in danger of running out of food. ”

"Has the cause of the fire been clarified?"

"No, but it's certain that it was caused by deliberate arson. The quartermaster replied truthfully.

"How can you be sure that it was arson and not an accident?" Jiang Hongyuan asked.

"In the burned grain and grass, we found gunpowder and wax stones that had not yet burned, and those of us who were quartermasters knew that these two flammable things were not allowed to be piled up with the grain and grass. ”

"The other party is not an ordinary person, he can get out safely after arson. ”

Zhu Qi suddenly kicked off the charred wood on the soles of his feet, and scolded: "Wave after wave, I don't know, I don't know? It must have been done by the Yun family's gang, a group of foxes!" and then asked the quartermaster: "If you urgently send someone to urge grain and grass now, how many days will it take at least?"

"General, our battle line is too long, the nearest place is Mubindu, and it will take about ten days to go back and forth. ”

"What's going on!" Zhu Qi asked loudly, "Isn't there any grain storage in places like Shangyang, Xiaolianshan, and Mito?"

"General. The quartermaster said helplessly, "These three places were not our territory in the first place, and whoever dares to hoard grain and grass here will easily be taken away by the local people." ”

"Tsk. Zhu Qi was so angry that he really had nothing to say.

"That's right, Lord. Jiang Hongyuan said, "Where are our grain and grass hoarded now?"

"It's also a bit far, and now it's hoarding in Yibindu, but I'm worried that something will go wrong, so I first sent someone to put some of the grain and grass in Qingshui, and sent troops to guard it. ”

"How many?" Zhu Qi hurriedly asked.

"It's not much, it's only enough food for the whole army to last for two days. ”

"Two days is fine!" Zhu Qi said, "On the one hand, we will send people to Mubin to urge grain, and on the other hand, we will send people to Qingshui immediately to escort the grain and grass to be transported here, quickly!"

And all the people should go down and make preparations at once.

Jiang Hongyuan felt that something was wrong and stopped the quartermaster on the way.

"Let me ask you, are there any gunpowder and wax stones in the grain and grass that have not been burned?"

"In order to prevent such a thing from happening, I ordered someone to carefully inspect it, and the remaining grain and grass were intact, without a trace of debris. The quartermaster replied.

"So was there anything unusual before the fire broke out?"

The quartermaster thought for a moment and shook his head: "No. ”

"Oh, I see, you go get busy. The quartermaster said goodbye to Jiang Hongyuan and went to urge food.

"Why did Zhou Yanbo leave one-tenth of the grain and grass?" Jiang Hongyuan thought to himself, "Do you just want to make fun of us by watching us rush from the sidelines?"

In Xinye City, Zhou Yanbo was sitting on a chair in the lobby, biting off half of the halva in his hand.

"Yanbo, I know you're waiting for that girl, but can you explain to us first, why don't you burn all the grain and grass and leave a little left?" Yun Yi couldn't help but ask.

"I want to know too. Yun Yue said.

"If you were the other party, the whole army was so tired, and the grain and grass were burned out, what would you do?" Zhou Yanbo asked.

"Naturally, it is the withdrawal of troops. Yun Yue replied, "It is impossible to attack, and it is impossible to defend, if it were me, I would withdraw the army overnight." ”

"And then?"

"Stay away from the new field first, wait until the grain and grass arrive, and then make a comeback. ”

"That's right, this new city is going to attack sooner or later, rather than burning it all, it's better to leave some and let them stay here, don't forget, we are the side that is surrounded, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. Zhou Yanbo said, "And let them come back after resting, even if we win, then the loss of their vitality will only be reduced, it will give them room to breathe, if they are not defeated at one time, this siege will be endless." ”

"Since we have created an opportunity to weaken them, why don't we make good use of it?" Zhou Yanbo said with a smile, "Look at the two of you, now their grain and grass can only last for two or three days, no matter how much you save, it will only take six days, and it will take about ten days to transfer food from Mubin and Yibin, and at that time, the soldiers who have no food, even the most ordinary generals, will have ten ways to defeat the other party, isn't it?"

"Young master. Su Yu'er appeared in front of the gate.

"Oh, the rain is back, how is it, the other party's grain and grass have turned into a pile of ashes, right?" Zhou Yanbo said with a smile.

"Yes, according to the young master's orders, I succeeded in burning the other party's grain and grass, leaving only a tenth of it. Su Yuer said.

Zhou Yanbo turned his head and smiled at Yun Yi, "How about it, we have the upper hand in the next joint battle." ”

"Still, young master. Su Yu'er said, "I may have another bad news." ”

"What's the bad news?"

Su Yu'er then recounted the conversation between Jiang Hongyuan and Fang Qian just now to Zhou Yanbo, and then said: "Because of that fire, their conversation was interrupted next, but I can't guarantee that they will believe it." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yanbo was silent for a few seconds, then stood up from the chair with a "ho", walked quickly to the door, and said: "Someone! Call the commander and all the generals up, there is an urgent military meeting, don't come!"

The guard in front of the door was startled by Zhou Yanbo, and immediately trotted forward to inform him, Zhou Yanbo returned to his seat, punched the chair handle, and said: "Damn, if this is the case, the hard-won advantage will be gone again." ”

After a while, all the generals gathered in the main hall.

"Why did you call us here!" He Mo was the first to be dissatisfied, "Didn't you say that you would talk about it tomorrow, and you regretted it before an hour?

"If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, I wouldn't be as fast as turning the pages of a book. Zhou Yanbo said, "Yu'er, repeat what you just said." ”

Su Yu'er nodded and repeated what she had heard.

"Now you hear me clearly. Zhou Yanbo said solemnly, "The other party may recognize our 'boss', if this is the case, once it spreads in Xinye City, our side will be shaken." ”

"I don't want to, but this time it's really urgent. ”

"Wait!" Li Yande interrupted Zhou Yanbo, "Listening to your and Su Yu'er's narration, it seems that the truth of this matter has not been determined, what if the other party doesn't believe it?"

"It's too unlikely. Zhou Yanbo said, "Let's not say that the other party was so miserable by us, but under normal circumstances, such a thing can increase their advantage, not to mention the current situation, the person who is about to drown will even grab a straw floating on the water." ”

"What then?" "Yun Ye Tsuru" asked, "If I am exposed, won't it plunge the entire Shinno Castle into fire and water?"

"It's fine. Zhou Yanbo said, "Coach, you should be yourself, don't be seen by others, the other party is likely to send secret agents to investigate, and now be ready, so as not to be 'unguarded'." ”

"For today's plan, we can only take one step and see one step. Yun Yi said.

The next day, Xinye City was very calm all day, the other party didn't seem to have the idea of attacking, Yun Yi and Yun Yue stood on the east city tower, looking at the emptiness in front of them.

"It's really strange, even though there are only three days of food and grass left, and instead of stepping up the attack, there is no movement. Yun Yi said.

"I guess I'm too tired. Yun Yue said, "Dealing with ten miles of marches, four attacks, two camps, one fire, and post-fire repairs, even an iron man should be exhausted." ”

This kind of silence only makes me feel more panicked. ”

"yes. ”

……

On the official road west of Xinye, an old man in cloth was hurrying, and suddenly a group of people appeared, led by a young man with a sword at his waist, and the young man saw the old man and stepped forward to ask: "Old man, how far is it from Xinye?"

The old man looked at the group of people in front of him, and asked instead, "Xinye is in the midst of war now, and it's too late for people to escape there, why do you still want to go to Xinye?"

"Well, because there's a friend there. ”

"That must be a very good friend, otherwise I wouldn't have risked my life to go there. ”

"That's right, his surname is Zhou, and he is a friend who deserves our lives. ”
