After walking for nearly two hours, they saw a small village wrapped in a pale blue mist on the top of the mountain.

The outskirts of this mountain village expose red soil, which is indeed not suitable for growing food.

When you enter the periphery of the village, you can see that the people who are active here are all old and weak, women and children, all of them are unclothed, and their faces are yellow and hungry.

Seeing Du Wei and them returning, hundreds of people ran out of the makeshift thatched huts, waiting one by one to distribute food.

Convinced that what Du Wei said was true, Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder with emotion.

Under the command of Du Wei and others, a cart of grain was quickly divided.

An unkempt old lady held the grain in her hand: "Finally, there is food, and the grass roots at home will be eaten for a few days." ”

Hearing these words, Xia Yu's heart was full of mixed feelings.

Casually came to the house of a villager, and after a few came in, the villagers warmly entertained them.

The white rice porridge was served with a yellowish color, like the color of earth, and the villagers explained embarrassedly: "I put some Guanyin soil in it, I am worried that I will have no food in it for two days, and I will starve again." ”

Wang Ermazi and the three of them were accustomed to it, and they gobbled up the porridge and drank it.

Listening to Su Yuexin talk about Guanyin soil, before Xia Yu crossed over, people joked that they were so poor that they ate soil.

really had to put the porridge in his mouth, Xia Yu knew that the soil was so unpalatable, and there was a fishy smell in his mouth, which was difficult to swallow.

When he went back with Du Wei, Xia Yu was silent all the way.

When he came to the barracks, Li Shimin was so shrewd, he could see at a glance that the amount of grain and grass was not quite right, and Xia Yu did not hide it and explained the truth to him.

Li Shimin was also silent for a long time, how hard it is for the people of the world, if you can help, just help.

Just as they were about to disperse, a Li family army came to give an order: "Third son, the pressure on the frontline battlefield is too great, so I came to borrow thirty sergeants by Li Gong's order." ”

Thirty sergeants was just a small number, and Li Shimin agreed without thinking about it.

Xia Yu felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't say it for a while, raised his hand, and finally didn't stop it.

In the next process of transporting grain and grass, Xia Yu asked Wang Er Mazi and them to find an ox cart and draw a little bit on each grain cart, so that the pieces were turned into a whole and it was even more difficult to be discovered.

In this way, seven days later, as soon as Xia Yu came back that day, a military academy came, and Li Shimin asked him to discuss matters in the tent of the heavenly army.

Xia Yu came to the military tent, and Li Shimin hurriedly greeted him: "General Xia, we have been trapped, the second brother has transferred soldiers from the Qin Fifth Army every now and then, and now we have two hundred people who have borrowed and have not returned." ”

At this time, there was another Li Jiajun outside to borrow troops.

Li Shimin looked at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu Chengzhu said in his chest: "You go back and reply to Li Gong, just say that we have recently encountered a large number of robbers and robbers in transporting grain, and we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we are really powerless." ”

That Li Jiajun used Li Yuan's name to suppress them, and Xia Yu said quietly: "If Li Gong doesn't believe it, he can come in person." ”

Li Jiajun had no way to return, Xia Yu was sure that Li Jiancheng was pretending to be Li Yuan's name, and Li Yuan knew nothing about this matter.

When Li Jiancheng heard the report, he was furious and ordered Tian Chong to follow the team escorting grain and grass tomorrow to find out.

It was about to be dusk, Xia Yu rode to the village on Chasing Fenghuang, explained to Wang Er Mazi, and then left.

"General Xia, they are just a group of hungry people, you said they are a large group of bandits. I've already received the news that Tian Chong will follow the team carrying the grain tomorrow, is that a little inappropriate? Li Shimin worried.

Xia Yu said to him: "You have the right to relax, I have my own arrangements." ”

The next day, only 200 Qin Wangjun were left in the grain and grass guard, and the others poured out.

On the way back from the grain and grass, Tian Chong said without yin or yang: "General Xia, you said that you encountered a large number of robbers on the way, how come I didn't even see a single robber hair." ”

Xia Yu glanced at Tian Chong: "What does General Tian mean by this, can I still accuse you?" ”

As he was talking, he saw that on the mountain on the right side of the mountain road, smoke was rising, and people and horses with shadows were walking around in the mountains, and several big drums shook the sky.

"Set up the formation, meet the enemy!" Xia Yu gave an order.

The army of the king of Qin is like a great enemy.

Shocked by the momentum, Tian Chong was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and said in a trembling voice: "How many enemies are there on this mountain?" ”

Xia Yu said: "There are probably two or three thousand people." ”

Hundreds of people against two or three thousand people, how they are the opponents of the enemy, Tian Chong's lips are going to turn purple.

Wang Ermazi and Jiang Da Fat rode to the middle of the upper road without fear: "We are short of food, so I will borrow some for the time being." I hope you will make it convenient! ”

Jiang Dapang took out a firework from his body: "If you don't want to borrow it, then I will light the fireworks in my hand, and the army will come immediately, and you can imagine the consequences." ”

Tian Chong said stiffly: "If you have the ability, you can light the fireworks, I don't believe you can do anything." ”

He provoked Jiang Da Pang to light the fireworks in his hand, then the two armies would inevitably fight hard, so that the strength of the Qin Wangjun would inevitably be weakened.

Xia Yu shouted angrily, "General Tian, what do you mean by this? ”

Tian Chong's old face flushed: "General Xia, we have to ensure that the grain and grass can arrive safely, don't we?" ”

Jiang Dapang couldn't be excited, and decisively lit the fireworks in his hand, and the rolling logs on the mountain rumbled down the mountain.

"Run, run!"

Xia Yu took the lead and rushed forward.

Qin Wangjun followed and fled one by one.

It took a long time for the logs to stop.

Tian Chong reacted and yelled: "Let's chase!" ”

Xia Yu looked at Tian Chong with a gloomy face: "General Tian, the situation is unknown, don't you know the taboo of Feng Lin Mo's entry?" ”

Tian Chong's face was blue and white, this was the basic art of war, of course he knew.

Everyone had to do it, and they lost about thirteen taels of grain carts, and finally there were still some to deal with.

Tian Chong returned to Li Jiancheng's side sullenly and reported what had happened to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng felt that Xia Yu must have made a stalk from it, so he couldn't come up with evidence, so he could only swallow this breath.

Tian Chong couldn't make a plan, so he had another plan: "General Li, the reason why Qin Wangjun was able to develop and grow in a short period of time is because Xia Yu has contributed a lot. Why don't we borrow Xia Yu and take the opportunity to pull out this fang. That Li Shimin is lonely and can't speak, how can he be our enemy! ”

Li Jiancheng showed a vicious look on his face, thinking that Xia Yu had broken his face in front of Li Yuan three times and twice, if he really had to get rid of Xia Yu, it would be equivalent to breaking one of Li Shimin's arms, and nodded: "You are right, tomorrow, I will go and talk to my father about this matter." ”

The next day, Li Jiancheng went straight to Li Yuan's tent: "Father, at present, our army has been attacking Huoyi City for more than a month, and it is impossible to get close to Yuwen Chengdu.
