Volume 1: The Wind Rises and Peace Chapter 91: The Potential of the Dog-Headed Commander
Seeing that Ke Cha didn't seem to have the intention of taking a bite, Chaizong waved his hand tastelessly and said to Ke Cha: "Go and arrange, this king will return to the capital in ten days, I hope you can grasp the time." ”
Ke Cha was stunned when he heard this, and then he clasped his fists and said to Chaizong: "I respectfully obey Your Majesty's personal orders." ”
With that, Kocha withdrew from Chai Zong's carriage.
By the time Kocha returned to the front, it was already getting dark.
At this time, the soldiers of the Western Regions Expeditionary Force were burying the pot to make rice, and several soldiers and ruffians were sitting in front of an iron pot, eating the wild vegetables inside, and muttering in their mouths: "This special thing hasn't eaten meat for half a month, and now I want to nibble on two bites when I see a living person, what should I do if it goes on like this?" ”
A soldier next to him answered: "You just saw a living person and wanted to nibble twice, I held the second child's feet and gnawed all night last night, but the second child got up in the tent and asked who had trimmed his feet in the middle of the night while he was sleeping." ”
The other ruffian was a little angry, and replied, "What are you? I've been eating dead skin on my feet for the past two days, and I'm going to finish eating and then run around the camp a few times, otherwise the dead skin on my feet won't be enough to enjoy. ”
Kecha listened with a little disgust, where did this group of soldiers find it? If you don't pay attention to hygiene, it's so disgusting. Can this kind of thing also fight?
Although he was complaining in his heart, Kecha also knew that if he didn't attack the Acropolis, people's hearts would be scattered.
When he went to meet the lord of the country today, Kocha mainly had two thoughts. The first is to hope that the lord of the country will recognize his identity as the commander of the expeditionary force, and the second is to see what His Majesty's personal expedition has brought.
The result was satisfactory, the lord admitted his identity, and he also saw that the convoy behind the lord was full of wagons, and wheel prints were pressed on the dirt road.
Returning to his tent, Kocha hurriedly called the officers of all levels of the expeditionary force together to arrange a meeting with the lord of the country.
It didn't take long for the generals of all sizes in the army to come in a hurry, all with a reluctant face.
Kecha can still understand their feelings, after all, whoever is suddenly called away during the meal will feel unhappy. But at this time, it is no longer a question of whether they are happy or not, and the biggest problem facing them now is that His Majesty is coming.
Seeing that the people had arrived, Kecha coughed, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said: "Your Majesty is fifty miles away, if you are fast, you will come here tonight to supervise the army, if you are slow, you will be here tomorrow morning." What do you have to say? ”
When a general of the expeditionary force heard this, he looked at his colleagues around him, and then said in a squirming voice: "Has Your Majesty brought grain and grass?" ”
A group of generals all looked at Kecha expectantly when they heard this, after all, they had run out of food, and they had been living on wild vegetables for the past few days. If it's a few days late, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat wild vegetables.
Ke Cha saw that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled softly and said, "I have brought grain and grass, and I have brought a lot of carts and horses." Let's open meat. ”
All the generals were jubilant, and after everyone was excited, Kecha continued to speak.
"But Your Majesty requires us to capture the Acropolis within ten days, and knock on the mountains and tigers against other rebellious ministers and thieves who have different intentions, and make an example of the chickens and monkeys. I don't know what you guys think? ”
The generals are silent, why can't they even eat enough now, and they still have the heart to think about fighting? It's almost as good as thinking about surviving first.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ke Cha said in a hurry: "Think about it, if we attack the Acropolis at night, what are the chances of winning?" ”
One of the generals of the expeditionary force was silent for a while, and then he replied: "I heard that the Acropolis has now been supplied with food, and without knowing the information of the enemy and us, our chances of winning the night attack on the Acropolis are not good. At most, there is a 30% chance of winning. ”
Kecha nodded, and then replied: "Don't worry, according to the scale of their grain transportation last time, I am afraid that they will have to transport grain again in three or five days." And during the day, we are heavily guarded, so they can only take advantage of the night to let the grain convoy in, and when the time comes, we will ambush a small group of troops, eat their grain convoy, and then pretend to be them to enter the Acropolis, and come to meet with the outside. ”
The general's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and then he said to Kecha with admiration: "The general is really far-sighted, no wonder we let go of that grain convoy last time, it turned out to be this plan!" Under admiration, admiration. ”
Regarding the other party's sycophancy, Kecha accepted it without blushing or beating his heart. After all, in my own opinion, I am so good, there is no doubt about it!
Mei Zizi thought for a while, and then Ke Cha instructed the generals: "Go back and take care of your soldiers, don't offend the lord's dignity." Tell them that we will return triumphantly in ten days at most. When that time comes, gold and silver treasures will definitely be indispensable for officials to be promoted. ”
The generals in the tent cheered again, and everyone seemed to have good expectations for the future.
At this time, in the camp tent of the expeditionary force, several captured dart masters were sitting in front of an iron pot, with dishes on all sides, and their faces were sad.
"What should we do? I see that the soldiers are drooling when they see me now, and if they go on like this, they will definitely eat people. A dart master said worriedly.
As soon as the words fell, several people lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
After a while, a dart master came up with an idea: "Why don't we run?" ”
As soon as the words came out, I saw several dart masters beside him cast contemptuous glances, and one of them also pulled the iron chain on his feet, and snorted coldly at the dart master: "You run with this?" How far can you run? ”
The dart master was a little annoyed, and said to the dart master who was taunting him, "Then just get out of the way." ”
The dart master who spoke first immediately laughed when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Get out of the way?" How to do it? Biting with your teeth? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the dart master who came up with the idea viciously bite the iron chain on his foot.
The two soldiers of the Western Regions Sect guarding outside the door looked at each other and smiled, and one of them said to the other.
"You see, the Wei people inside are very hungry and have already begun to eat iron."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them snickered again.
……
At this time, in the Acropolis, Wang Le was in a very bad mood.
Lou Million just came to tell Wang Le, saying that the grain donation activity was too grand two days ago, and there would be no food to sell tomorrow morning.
Wang Le's brows furrowed when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak: "Then inform people to go and transport grain now, no matter what the situation, there must be grain to sell early tomorrow morning." ”
Lou Million glanced at Wang Le timidly when he heard this, and then replied in a low voice: "But those soldiers from the Western Regions outside have already surrounded the Tianwei City, and the target of the convoy transporting grain is so big, it will definitely not be able to pass." ”
Wang Le thought for a moment and replied: "Send someone back to find Ma Han and tell Ma Han that no matter what method is used, the grain must be delivered." Otherwise, something big could happen. ”
Lou Million thought about it, at this time, there may really be only one way to choose. So he said goodbye to Wang Le, and went out to make arrangements.
It didn't take long for one ear to walk into Wang Le's room, and as soon as he saw Wang Le, he immediately asked; "Second child, it's so dangerous to transport grain now, what do you let the pony do?"
Wang Le frowned, glanced at one ear angrily, and then said, "What else?" If the Acropolis causes a food shortage now, our plans will be wasted. ”
One ear was scolded by Wang Le, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable on his face, so he stiffened his neck and replied: "Then I can't watch Ma Han die." ”
Wang Le also seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his emotions, and gently waved his hand at one ear, signaling the other party to be calm, and seeing that one ear calmed down, Wang Le said: "I believe in Ma Han's ability, this matter will definitely not be messed up." Moreover, there has been harmony outside the Acropolis for so many days, and it would not hurt to be harmonious for a few more days. Besides, even if something really goes wrong with Ma Han, isn't there still a big brother for you? Big brother, you can take someone to help Ma Han. ”
One ear thought about it and felt that Wang Le seemed to have some truth in what he said, so he said to Wang Le with a smile: "You know me as the second child, I don't have any other skills, just morality." Don't worry, if Ma Han encounters any danger, I will definitely take the lead in the charge. ”
Wang Le looked at one ear, then smiled softly, and said to one ear: "Don't worry, big brother, we will take the initiative after tonight." I've already talked to the third fool of the city lord's family today, and I guess we will be able to hear the news of the city lord's immortal death the day after tomorrow at the latest. When the time comes, when that fool and the third child take the position, the Acropolis will not belong to you and my brothers this day? ”
Hearing this, there was a sudden surprise on his face, but he quickly calmed down again, and asked Wang Le, "That fool believed your words so easily?" ”
Wang Le smiled when he heard this, and then replied into one ear: "I can't let him not believe it, after all, we have helped him clear the biggest obstacle to him becoming the city lord, and the second child of the city lord's family is now in our hands, so we can't tolerate him being disobedient." ”
Yi'er nodded with satisfaction, and praised Wang Le: "I'll just say that I didn't see the wrong person, second brother, you really have the potential to be a dog-headed military advisor." When you ascend to the position of city lord in the future, you will also arrange a deputy city lord for my eldest brother. ”
Wang Le smiled and waved his hand to one ear, and said casually: "It's easy to say." ”
In fact, I was thinking in my heart that the fool of this year is really easy to coax, and he can swallow a large cake casually, without thinking about whether the stomach can digest it.
After chatting a few more words, the two saw Lou Million pushing the door in. Seeing that one ear was there, he first said hello to one ear, and then said to Wang Le.
"Brother Le has been arranged, and now the people have set off. Just wait for Ma Han to deliver the grain early tomorrow morning. ”
Wang Le smiled and nodded, but his eyes kept looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
