Chapter 329: Excuses, Acting to Win Food
That night, the gate of Fu Qi City was opened with its back to Liu Wen's camp, and more than a dozen soldiers and horses secretly went out of the city and made a detour to the east, preparing to cut off the grain route of Liu Wen's army.
At the same time, Liu Wen, who was in the camp, suddenly popped up with a system prompt in front of him.
Spawn a new branch: Alone for help (Murong Fuyun has already sent troops and horses to cut off your food route.) Mission requirements: Persist until the arrival of the main force of the Sui army without purchasing grain and grass through cross-system auction houses, and the loss of soldiers and horses shall not exceed 20% of the current strength. Task Reward: 1 used combat power card, 3 treasure chest cards, and 1 magic weapon transformation pill will be randomly rewarded)
Liu Wen thought that the combat power cards he had used were Wu Bao, Wu Jianzhang and Xiao Maha, and the effects were all good.
I looked at the introduction of the magic weapon Transformation Pill again.
γMagic Weapon Transformation Pillγ
After taking it, it can be transformed into a magic weapon that suits your own use.
This elixir is a bit interesting, after taking it, it does not increase cultivation, does not strengthen the body, but can become a magic weapon that suits one's own situation. β
'But the task ......'
Liu Wen frowned.
During the day, he had already seen the environment.
Because of the cold climate, it is not yet the season of spring flowers, and the surrounding area is dry grass roots, which is no different from the desert.
And except for Fu Qi City, there is no settlement suitable for human habitation within a radius of 100 miles.
The vanguard led by himself was lightly armed all the way and continued to break through rapidly.
If the food and grass are cut off, after three days you will start starving.
Thinking of this egg. Painful task requirements.
Liu Wenwei's teeth rang out.
I scolded in my heart: 'What a bullshit mission! It's not allowed to buy from cross-system auction houses, isn't that a clear way for me to complete? Could it be that I can still ask Fu Yun for food? β
As soon as he scolded here, Liu Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: 'That's right! Isn't the city in front of you a big granary? β
But then, he was stumped again.
'It's easy to steal food from Fu Qi City, but how can I explain it to my father-in-law afterwards?' Tell him that I have thaumaturgy and can steal food and grass from Fu Qi City? I guess he'll be even more jealous of me by then. β
"What should I do...... Liu Wen paced back and forth in the account, thinking about it almost too much, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.
There are three main steps to this strategy.
The first step is to steal some food from the city yourself, and then find a remote place to hide it.
The second step is to control a minister in the city and ask him to make a statement to Fu Yun, saying that he has already colluded with some nobles in the city to prepare grain and grass outside the city in advance. Please Fu Yun send some men and horses to destroy the grain.
In the third step, he pretended to get the news that there was a grain hiding field outside the other party's city, led a light cavalry to pursue the army that burned grain in the ambush city, and then took back the grain and grass.
Although this is purely superfluous.
But it is better explained than the sudden appearance of a large amount of grain and grass in his own army.
Moreover, when they really encounter a food crisis and can grab food, it is too late for these soldiers and generals to be happy, how can they care about some details.
When the time comes, no matter how exaggerated and exaggerated they are, they will probably be able to turn the false into true and help themselves to fulfill their lies.
Having made up his mind, Liu Wen began to make arrangements, left the military camp that night, infiltrated the city, captured a relatively high-ranking general, controlled him with a blessing card, and then asked where the grain was hidden in the city.
After Liu Wen found the granary, he sneaked in very easily.
In his system backpack, there are several sets of large boxes.
These boxes are all uniform models, although they don't look very good, but they are large and easy to load.
In this way, when no one was around, he stole food...... When someone passed by, he stopped and found a place to hide......
It wasn't until the next night that Liu Wen packed the grain, sent it to a hidden place outside the city, and then returned to his camp.
The next day, according to Liu Wen's arrangement, the official in the city went to Murong Fuyun to make a message, and soon after Fu Yun sent a group of men and horses to check if there was any grain and grass that had been hidden in advance, and if so, he would burn it with fire.
Liu Wen, on the other hand, ordered the drum to raise the account.
After the main generals in the army arrived, Liu Wen said: "Ladies and gentlemen, as the saying goes: people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. Our grain transport team has not been able to deliver grain and grass for a long time, and it is very likely that the grain route has been cut off by the Tuyuhun people. β
After saying this, all the generals immediately panicked and whispered in each other's ears.
"Yes! How could we not have thought of it. β
"It's all because this battle has gone so well lately, and we're a little carried away......"
"That's it!"
Liu Wen now has a very high prestige in the army, he shouted the order, everyone stopped, and the tent was quiet again.
Liu Wen continued: "I just got news that the Tuyuhun people have a secret place to hide grain in the west of the city. And because we came so suddenly, they didn't have time to transport the grain away, so they sent a soldier to leave not long ago, ready to burn the grain. β
"The Lone King thinks that instead of letting them destroy the food, it is better for us to take it back...... Regardless of whether our food channel has been cut off or not, we can only have food at home to not panic. β
After Liu Wen said this, the generals nodded yes.
Subsequently, Liu Wen arranged the affairs of the army, and then personally led 1,500 cavalry to gallop to the place where the grain was hidden.
When they arrived near the destination, just in time for Tuyuhun's men and horses, Liu Wen led the troops to kill them, and then asked people to search for them nearby, and they worked for more than half an hour, and finally found the location where the grain was hidden.
Then Liu Wen sent people back to deliver orders, transferred carts, and transported all the grain back.
By the next day, the convoy delivering food in the rear did not appear.
The army was secretly glad that fortunately, King Song was lucky to find the location of Tuyuhun's grain storage, and successfully snatched the grain back, otherwise, I am afraid that many people would starve to death in the past few days.
β¦β¦
At this time, Yang Guang also knew about the robbery of the grain transportation team, and at this moment he did not gloat because Liu Wen was in an embarrassment, but was very anxious.
After all, this is a march to fight, not a child's house.
Yang Guang knew very well that if Liu Wen's vanguard army was wiped out because of food shortages, it would be himself who would suffer the losses in the end.
After all, both the soldiers and the country, are their own. With Liu Wen's ability, even if he loses the battle, he can easily kill it back.
But the 10,000 army will be lost in vain.
Although Yang Guang wants to dominate the industry for his own ambition, he doesn't care how many people die.
But this kind of death like giving away people's heads for nothing is unacceptable to him.
Therefore, Yang Guang sent someone to summon Yue Yun and Zuo Tiancheng into the account, and ordered: "Yue Yun, you immediately take three thousand elite horsemen, and first send Liu Wen enough grain and grass for him to use for three days, so as to solve his current urgent need." β
"Yes!" Yue Yun retreated.
Yang Guang instructed Zuo Tiancheng again: "You lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, and then send Liu Wen food that can be used for half a month." β
"Yes!"
Although Yue Yun knew the situation of Liu Wen through the system, he still pretended to be very anxious, and asked people to prepare enough food for Liu Wen's army to use for three days, and at the same time bring dry food, and quickly lead the troops towards Fu Qi City......
