Li Xinchen's tone was quite deep, how much helplessness and threat there were in it, but it was enough to make people, especially Fan Chang ponder.

And Fan Chang also made up his mind, no matter what Li Xinchen's origin was and what his idea was, he really had to report this matter to Jingzhou Assassin Shi as soon as possible, no matter whether the grain and grass were given or not, he Fan Chang could not afford this responsibility.

Li Xinchen grabbed Xiao Shilian's wrist and shook his head slightly at him, telling Xiao Shilian not to be impulsive.

"What Brother Shizhong said is also something I want to say," Pei Zilie also said in a deep voice at this time. "I can also understand General Fan's difficulties, after all, the army came in a hurry, and the three of us were ordered by General Zuo Wei to lead the division ahead of the army, the original intention was to go to Songzi to wait for General Zuo Wei's order, since General Fan is in difficulty, then it is not a big problem to wait here for two more days."

Hearing Pei Zilie's explanation, Fan Chang suddenly had a feeling of being stunned, no wonder these people were not in a hurry, they dared to be reluctant because they didn't want to move forward alone, after all, with their army of 3,000 people, they rushed directly to the front, which was not enough for the Jiangling defenders to stuff their teeth, I am afraid that when they accepted Xiao Maha's order, they also took the lead in the first place.

Therefore, now that we are facing the problem of military rations, it is better to seize this opportunity to stay in the public security for two days. Fan Chang nodded solemnly, and smiled at Pei Zilie and the others, his smile was much more sincere than before.

After all, if you can have the best of both worlds, and everyone doesn't get married, that's great.

As soon as Xiao Shilian walked into the residence, he angrily slapped his sword on the table, obviously he had been holding back for a long time: "Dashi, Shizhong, are you two crazy, if we wait here stupidly, we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and I don't believe that I will kill a certain person, and Fan Yi, the assassin of Jingzhou, will be kind enough to dedicate the grain and grass he has hoarded for many years to us so selflessly!" ”

"Let's come out this time, in order to bring more arrows, bows and crossbows, the brothers don't bring much dry food, and they can last for two or three days, do you think we can end this big war in two or three days, or do you really plan to eat and wait for death in this public security city?"

Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie glanced at each other, and Li Xinchen first smiled and said, "Who said that we don't do anything, just wait?" Do you believe that set of rhetoric to Fan Chang? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shilian was stunned, "Shizhong, you mean?" ”

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and dragged Xiao Shilian to the door, pointed to the surrounding barracks and said: "You see that this is the largest barracks in the entire Public Security City, and the general warehouses and granaries must also be placed outside this kind of barracks, so that they can be prepared for emergencies, and think about it, how many soldiers and horses of Fan Chang are there in the entire city?" ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen then said: "And don't you think there is a big omission in Fan Chang's words, if there is a shortage of military rations in this public security city, then why would he Fan Chang agree to our plan to stay here longer?" You must know that the three meals a day when the army is stationed on weekdays is much more troublesome than the dry food for the stomach when the army is on the march. ”

Xiao Shilian's face suddenly showed joy: "In other words, the food in this public security city should be very sufficient, but that guy Fan Chang doesn't want us to continue to march towards Jiangling so easily." And our 3,000 people, even if they open the granary and rob it, he Fan Chang can't stop it! ”

And Li Xinchen nodded again and again, and patted Xiao Shilian's shoulder at the same time: "And this burden really belongs to you." Think about it, what is Brother Dashi and me, one is General Dianwei, who is in a high position and power, and it is inevitably a little unreasonable to rob the army of food; And a certain Li Xinchen is a small battle master, if there is no order from above, he will definitely not do such a bold thing, so among the three of us, this matter really has to be done by you. ”

"Don't worry, we can't do anything else, but you really have to look at me for this kind of work." Xiao Shilian said confidently, if you want to talk about playing intrigue with Yangzhou Thorn History, he really can't play it, but Xiao Shilian can catch such a direct attack.

"Alright, Shizhong, don't fool around." Pei Zilie on the side really couldn't stand it, and said in a deep voice, "Boqing, your reckless personality is well known, so it is reasonable for this matter to be handed over to you, and more importantly, if it is the two of us, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the responsibility, but you are different, you are the eldest son of the general of the left guard, even if you are arson and grab food, this Fan Chang and Fan Yi, who is far away in Yidu, want to make trouble, and they have to weigh it." ”

Xiao Shilian suddenly understood, the most important thing is his identity. Xiao Shilian not only joined the army, but also Xiao Maha's son, if he really made any mistakes, everyone had to consider Xiao Maha's feelings when he was held responsible.

"What are we going to do?" Siu Shilian cuts straight to the point.

Li Xinchen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Come here." ”

——————————--

"These three guys are not as difficult to deal with as imagined, I originally thought that these three boys were newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, but now I know that they are three cowards." One of the battle lords said disdainfully.

"yes, I really didn't expect it." The other general also nodded again and again.

Originally, they were quite wary of Pei Zilie and the others, after all, they were under the command of Xiao Maha, and Pei Zilie was the youngest miscellaneous general in Nanchen no matter what he said, no matter how he said it, he had to have a little courage and ability, but he didn't expect him to admit it so quickly, and even obediently obeyed the arrangement of Fan Chang, a lieutenant general.

"Don't let your guard down." Fan Chang still frowned, Xiao Shilian was obviously resentful, but Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen did not consider his feelings, and directly chose to accept Fan Chang's somewhat unreasonable arrangement.

Although the reasons they gave were reasonable, in Fan Chang's opinion, although Xiao Maha was leading the army for the first time, he should not be the kind of commander who would not look at people.

"General Zhonglang, I think you're too worried!" A battle lord said nonchalantly, and even in his words, there was some dissatisfaction and ridicule for Fan Chang. After all, Fan Chang, the Zhonglang General, seemed to them to have come to this point by relying on his relationship with Fan Yi, and in fact, he was no different from the cowardly Pei Zilie.

If it weren't for the history of Jingzhou's assassination, everyone wouldn't be polite to Fan Chang, the Zhonglang general who fell from the sky.

Fan Chang didn't care about these lords and generals, and slowly turned his head to look at the dark night outside the window.

Suddenly, a flash of fire illuminates the night.

Immediately afterwards, half of the public security city was lit up by torches, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded like a torrential rain.
