Chapter 40 Grain in Distress
The Qin army's temporary camp, the sky is already bright.
"Let's go!" Zhao Cheng pushed Luo Rucai to the camp, and it seemed that Luo Cao Cao still did not escape.
In fact, he doesn't blame him Luo Cao Cao, mainly because he pretended to be in a coma for a few days, and only someone fed him a little millet soup every day.
So he was already hungry, and he didn't have the strength to escape for a while, and he fainted directly with low blood sugar and his eyes were black, and he was directly picked up by Qin Jun.
Wang Li looked at Luo Rucai, and then asked Li Yan, who was dressed as a Confucian next to him, "Li Gongzi, this person is Luo Rucai, right?" ”
Li Yan hugged his fists and said: "General Hui, this person is Luo Rucai, who is full of evil." ”
Wang Li nodded, in fact, Qin Jun worked very hard to find it last night, but first, it was dark, and secondly, everyone didn't know Luo Rucai, so he took advantage of it.
"Sure enough, there are still people who know the details of the other side." Wang Wei thought about it, and subconsciously looked at Li Yan next to him.
Wang Li wasted a lot of effort in order to rebel against Li Yan at that time, he deliberately asked Li Yan to meet alone every day, and then did nothing but chat and talk about Fengya.
Of course, Li Yan was confused, but Li Guo and the others felt that he had already been bought, at least he had two hearts, and he isolated Li Yan as soon as he came and went.
In the end, when Li Yan was excluded and left out in the cold, Wang Li took the opportunity to ask him to surrender, and gave them the opportunity to meet the husband and wife.
Although this anti-plot was used by Wang Li, it was difficult to try it for other people, not to mention Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others, not even Hao Shaoqi, as for Luo Rucai and Liu Zongmin, Wang Li was simply disdainful.
For example, now Wang Li and Li Yan are courtesy, Li Yan is Wang Li's staff, and Luo Rucai, who was picked up, Wang Li is too lazy to look at it.
Wang Lihu looked indifferently: "Zhao Duwei has worked hard, just drag it down and kill it, and inform the people who return to the department to come to watch the ceremony." ”
Luo Rucai, who was uncomfortably hungry, was still in a daze just now, but now when he heard that this was going to kill him, he instantly sobered up, and quickly begged for mercy:
"The general spares his life, the little one is also confused for a while, please give me another chance, I promise to obey ......"
Wang Li raised his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Our army doesn't need an inhuman general like you, your biggest role is to die to dissipate everyone's anger, understand?" ”
"Ahh Luo Rucai was almost paralyzed when he heard this, but he was pulled up by Zhao Cheng again and handed it to the two knights next to him.
The two knights then took Luo Rucai, who was already frightened and silent, and walked out of the tent, ready to give him an unforgettable memory.
And Wang Li in the camp tent was obviously more concerned about the news revealed by Li Yan, it turned out that the army was also swept by the demon wind, so the manpower was scarce and the food was insufficient.
Moreover, Li Yan also told Wang Li a bombshell news, it turned out that Li Zicheng was ill, although his life was not in danger, but he would not be able to lead the army for a while.
So this plan was all carried out by Li Guo and others, but they didn't expect that Cao Cao came to Daqin, and in the end, not only did they not get food, but they also put people in.
Li Yanyi arched his hand and analyzed: "General, there are more than 8,000 people in the breaking army, and now they are either captured or fled, and there are probably only a thousand people in the headquarters, but I don't know how many of these rout troops can escape back?" ”
After hearing this, Wang Li smiled slightly and said: "I can't go back much, they have no food on them, if they can surrender to our army in time, they will probably not starve to death."
If you endure the road in the winter, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, this time the invading army has suffered a lot of losses, and it is estimated that there is no strength to stop. ”
Li Yan's face was not very good when he heard it, after all, he had only surrendered to Cheng for a few days, and this role was not enough, and there was always a little awkwardness.
Another point is Li Yan's character, Li Yan's family is also a scholarly family, and he himself is still famous, but the result is that because he opened a warehouse for the victims and released grain, he lost everything and was forced to be a thief.
Now he heard that most of these invading troops would starve to death, and he was very helpless in his heart, but he knew that he was begging Wang Li to release grain, and the invading army did not dare to come to get it.
At this time, Wang left the mouth and asked: "Li Gongzi, I don't know if you are familiar with the road over there in Lintao?" ”
Li Yan naturally understood what Wang Li was planning, he wanted to go straight to Huanglong, now that King Chuang was in bed, almost all his generals were captured, and the number of troops was only one-eighth.
No matter how you look at it, the Qin army's chances of winning are very large, as long as they can secretly march to the camp of the army, it is not too difficult to take away in a wave.
So Wang Li is still relying on Li Yan, the leading party.
Li Yan frowned and asked a sharp question: "General, I can recognize the road, but is our army's food and grass enough?" ”
Wang Li shook his head matter-of-factly and said, "Most of the food in the past few days has been provided by the Hui Ministry, if you want to continue to attack the Liukou, it will be difficult to do......"
Wang Li's words seemed very helpless, you must know that the food consumption of a soldier in a day is three or four times that of ordinary people.
However, as the main general, he still had to take care of everyone's feelings, and then spoke: "But Your Majesty's food and grass supply is not far away, so we still have to hold on." ”
Although everyone was worried when they heard this, they could only wait, but no one knew that at this time, the grain transportation team was also engaged in a hard struggle.
In Beidi County, Xia Donghai and his party were marching on the snow with fear, even with advanced tools such as small carts, everyone's march was still difficult.
"Young Master Xia, the front is the river valley I mentioned, the road in the middle is really rugged, if you want to go over, you can only walk a little bit, or take a long detour......" Qin Jungong said.
He is obviously not optimistic about this grain transportation operation, and the wind has not stopped just after the heavy snowfall, so he thinks that anything can be done?
"Engineer Chief, this is full of food and materials, and the detour is too far, I'm afraid it will delay the war." Natsu Tokaido.
The foreman was embarrassed: "If you want to pass, then we can only line up in two columns, and this road can only go in two columns at most, but in this way, the speed will not be too fast, and once there is a problem with the car in the middle, it will be difficult to move behind." ”
Xia Donghai thought for a while and said: "Two columns are okay, but the left and right should be staggered, so that there is only one on each horizontal plane, and even if there is a failure, it can temporarily pass by the side." ”
When the foreman heard this, he also thought that this was a good method, so he nodded and agreed: "Xia Gongzi is worthy of being the son of the imperial doctor's order, he is so smart at a young age, and he admires the old man, so use this method." ”
Xia Donghai is an honest child, after listening to the foreman's praise, his face was a little red, and he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly performed a standard junior etiquette, which attracted the older men next to him to laugh......
Then the team adjusted and began to slowly enter the canyon, even then the snow around was shaken and moved, and everyone could only move cautiously.
In this way, the speed of the march was even slower, and the foreman and Xia Donghai were anxious in their eyes, worried about whether the king in front of them had already broken off.
However, I am afraid of what will come, this batch of newly built carts still lacks running-in, and one of them accidentally went wrong, and the whole side overturned into the middle of the road.
Several commanders hurriedly came up to help, and under the crowding, the team was no different from not moving.
Just when the group was rushing to repair the vehicle, suddenly a worker shouted: "Someone is coming, it's a cavalry!" ”
Everyone looked up in response, and since they were all in the valley with the light and snow on their backs, they could only see a dozen horsemen on the western slope, which seemed to be coming towards them.
A servant guessed, "Did General Wang Li send someone to pick us up?" ”
Another retorted, "We're still far from the Northlands!" It must be a thief! ”
The servant also said: "Isn't it allowed to be a messenger of the king and generals?" ”
Xia Donghai couldn't judge for a while after listening to the words of the two, and then turned his eyes to the old foreman next to him, hoping that he could make a decision.
The old foreman had been with the army for many years, and soon found the problem, shouting at the crowd: "It's not good, this is accelerating, they are going to rush into battle!" Enemy attack! ”
