Jizhou, the army led by Yunmo finally caught up with the rebels in Yandi here, and the two sides were separated from Jizhou, far away from each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rebels have gone all the way, and the number of people in the army has grown from tens of thousands of horses at the beginning to nearly 200,000 horses now.

King Yan claimed to have a large army of 300,000, and he was approaching Kyoto.

However, there are less than 100,000 people on Yunmo's side.

The Youzhou army brought out 30,000 horses, as well as 20,000 horses from the nearby Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, these people can be said to be the descendants of the Wuwang Mansion, people who can be trusted, but there are more than 40,000 people, who are those remnants of the defeated generals, Yunmo went all the way north, met these defeated people, incorporated these people, and joined his own army.

The morale of the people in the army is a little sluggish, everyone has just experienced a few defeats, and now as long as the king of Yan is mentioned and the rebels are mentioned, these people are not confident enough to fight.

In the Chinese military tent, Yunmo sat on the main seat, and Zuo Ming and others stood on both sides.

The eunuch who came to the palace to deliver the decree did not leave after passing the decree, because he was also a prisoner sent by the new king.

The Lord Overseer said, "Since we have already caught up with the rebels, why don't we attack immediately and kill them directly, but we still have to grind here." ”

Lord Jian Jun looked at Yunmo with suspicious eyes, as if the reason why the prince of Wuwang did not send troops was because he was afraid of those rebels.

The Lord of the Prison Army had a calm face, and he paid attention in his heart, if the prince of Wuwang was really afraid of going to war, he must sue for a copy and let His Majesty send someone to deal with it.

Yunmo didn't speak.

Zuo Ming said with a sincere face: "Lord Prison Army, now the rebels claim to have 300,000, and we only have less than 100,000, and more than 40,000 of them have no combat effectiveness, how should we rush over directly?" ”

Don't talk about the strategy at all, just rush over and be killed by someone else?

The eunuch should stay in the palace and serve the emperor, and don't come to these blind commands casually.

The overseer said, "What do you mean by that?" Could it be that when you see that there are many rebels, you don't plan to go to war and surrender directly? ”

The insulting words, the contemptuous eyes, said that everyone in the room stared at him.

The prison army was not afraid at all, and his eyes also widened, he was the prison army personally appointed by the emperor, if these people dared to be disrespectful to him, it would be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, and he would send it up with a secret fold, and His Majesty the Emperor would not spare the Wuwang Mansion.

Zuo Ming and the others obviously knew it, so they were patient all the way.

The Prison Master was very proud, and let out a special laugh that only a eunuch would make.

Can't we really slaughter this man with our hands? Zuo Ming asked his master with his eyes.

It's hard work.

If you endure it any longer, you will feel like a fly is barking in your ear.

Zuo Ming and the others glanced at the prison guard, this fly is a bit big, and it is particularly annoying, so when can it be killed.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, no matter what the overseer is, he has to open his mouth to express some opinions, and some things are simply said to retreat, but this poor person does not know that he is completely wrong, and he is very positive.

At the end of the discussion, no result was discussed.

The overseer said: "Prince Wuwang, you must speed up your movements, and you must not let the rebels continue to go north." ”

The rebels went all the way north, and did not encounter any resistance, looking at how strong the rebels' current team is, they know how many victories they have won, and they all say that the martial prince of Youzhou Wuwangfu is the god of war of the dynasty, why is this martial prince so timid now.

The prison army is gone, and the atmosphere in the big tent of the Chinese army has also changed.

Yunmo opened his mouth and asked, "What about those people who have been co-opted?" ”

More than 40,000 people, nearly 50,000 people, must be experienced, and they can't just be wasted.

Zuo Ming's eyes flashed with disgust, these people were frightened, and they followed them all the way, not only did they not contribute to the resistance to the rebels, but they wasted a lot of their supplies.

Master Li, who was in charge of the supplies, said: "Your Highness, we are running out of food and grass, and we will hold on for another ten days at most." ”

Zuo Ming said: "Ten days? How could it be ten days! The tone was full of shock.

Master Li explained with difficulty: "This is still the result of strict control, if you eat it with an open belly, it will only be five days." ”

Zuo Ming was surprised: "When we came, what about the grain, grass and supplies we carried?" ”

No wonder Zuo Ming was surprised, it was really because when they set off from Youzhou, they brought a lot of supplies, plus they collected some along the way, and the local officials also provided some, Zuo Ming never imagined that there would be only ten days left.

Master Li smiled bitterly: "You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are at home." ”

It is true that they brought a lot of supplies, but they also had a lot of people, and they had to settle those defeated deserters along the way, and collected nearly 50,000 horses, these people don't look at the combat effectiveness is not very good, but how many are one person, adding up to 50,000 horses, they have to eat and drink, and the supplies promised by the imperial court have not even seen a shadow now, they can only find a way to hold on to it.

When Zuo Ming heard Lord Li say this, he finally understood, but he had no good impression of the people in the court.

Master Li said: "Master, otherwise, let the prison guard urge it." ”

The prison army is also a person from the palace, and he has the emperor's holy decree on him, if he comes forward, the officials in those places will give him some face.

Yunmo said: "Okay, but we have to find a way ourselves." ”

Everyone nodded, and after a moment of discussion, they dispersed.

Lord Jian Jun looked at the person who came, and said in a strange tone: "It's really rare, Lord Zuo is actually here." ”

Zuo Ming looked at the appearance of the villain of the prison army, and said secretly in his heart, for the sake of food and grass, bear with you.

The prison army said: "Let this prison army urge the grain and grass, of course." ”

Zuo Minghu looked at this person suspiciously, and actually agreed?

Lord Overseer glanced at Zuo Ming with a questioning look in his eyes, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zuo Ming shook his head, went out to arrange manpower, and accompanied the overseer to urge the supplies.

The carriage left the barracks and headed for Jizhou.

The little eunuch served his godfather and sat in the carriage, and a hoarse and sharp voice sounded, with the unique taste of eunuchs: "Godfather, why did you agree?" ”

Godfather doesn't always look at those people in the barracks unpleasantly, they are all rude warriors, and they speak and act roughly, don't say it's a godfather, he can't look down on it.

The Lord of the Prison Army squinted his eyes slightly, and when he heard this, he glanced at the little eunuch beside him, and said: "Monkey cub, you don't use your brains, but the godfather is the supervisor appointed by His Majesty personally, so he naturally looks forward to the victory of the prince of Wuwang." ”

A person on a boat, the prince of Wuwang is unlucky, and he can't get well.
