Chapter 649: The Beginning of the Clouds and the Sunsink Pavilion (60)

Of course, the matter of the burning of grain and grass, the general in charge of Cangguo did not dare to hide it for too long, and after checking for a while, it seemed that he could not catch the person who set the fire, and the remaining grain and grass were rapidly decreasing, and if it continued like this, it would be a big mess, so it was not necessary to dig and dig 3 and not report the matter back.

Ji Jingsheng was furious when he learned about it, and smashed the things in the study, and he even wondered if it was Kunguo's ghost, but he heard that it was not only them who had this kind of thing, but Cangguo had also happened a few days earlier, and now, it could only be someone else's ghost.

Kunguo can't just make them not suspect that he did it, right? It's just that the top priority is not to find out who is the arsonist, but to raise all the grain and grass and send it to the border as soon as possible, otherwise if Kunguo recovers, it will be them who will be worse.

Fortunately, although Cangguo has also experienced a cold winter, they have crops that can still grow in winter, and he sent officers and soldiers to harvest and trade, which is extremely efficient, and it will be gathered in a few days, which is much faster than Kunguo.

All that remains is to transport the grain and grass over in time, there is thick snow along the road, so much grain and grass to faint is not a small project, and this will also be a competition between the two countries on the other hand.

At such a time, if the other side gets the supply of grain and grass first, it will gain the upper hand and become the party that takes the initiative. But Ji Jingsheng knew that Kunguo had started transporting grain a few days earlier than them, and it was very likely that it would arrive soon, but they had just begun, and it was clear at a glance that they were ripening fast and slow.

So what he has to do is to block the arrival of Kunguo's grain, the more time it drags on, the greater the possibility of their victory, as long as their grain and grass move, a group of well-fed tiger and wolf divisions against the yellow-skinned Kunguo soldiers above, victory must belong to them!

Ji Jingsheng summoned all his secret guards with confidence, these people were secretly responsible for protecting him, which meant half his life, but for the sake of this victory, he was willing to risk that there was no one around him to protect him for the time being, and ordered them to cut off the transportation of Kunguo's grain on the way, if there was no way to intercept it completely, the longer the delay, the better.

And at the same time, I heard that Cangguo had already prepared food, and Su Ming, who was sending it to the border, didn't plan to do so? He sent his most capable men to stop them on the way, and he must drag them down!

Meng Fusheng They are still on the road, it takes two days for people to walk, and they walked for four days to get halfway, after all, there are so many grain and grass trucks, and Meng Fusheng has repeatedly said that speed is not important, the most important thing is safety, this batch of grain and grass does not allow any loss. This is one of the reasons why they are so slow.

However, Meng Fusheng's cautiousness still aroused the dissatisfaction of some officers and soldiers, who were already disdainful of the sudden appearance of the people, but who were in charge of the faction, and the slow speed of march wore out their patience even more, and three or four officers and men exchanged heads and poured out their dissatisfaction.

"What is that, what is the origin of Lord Meng? Even the head of the general has to listen to him? It's too dragged. ”

"I don't know, but he's too timid, hasn't anything happened in the past four days? I'm still so cautious, I still want to transport it to the border as soon as possible so that I can go home, it's so cold here, who can stay. ”

"Yes, yes, I think it's because he's suspicious, there are so many of us, who would dare to come?"

"Why don't you talk to the leader? At this speed, it will take the year of the monkey to deliver it. ”

Several people made up their minds and were about to look for their leader, when the grass stained white by the snow suddenly made a crisp sound, and then suddenly more than a dozen people flew out to surround them, all of them wearing black suits and covering their faces, and the footsteps were almost inaudible.

You know, I don't know how thick the snow is, they usually walk on it, and people who are hundreds of meters away can hear it clearly, what does it mean if they can't hear it? While the comers are not good, their light skills are also extremely good.

Meng Fusheng instantly became vigilant, and the benefits of their vigilance during this time also came up, and without waiting for him to give an order, everyone stood where they should stand, protecting the grain and grass to death, and those officers and soldiers who were still slandering Meng Fusheng for not being so timid and cautious all had respect for this Lord Meng in their hearts.

Meng Fusheng didn't know their mental activities, slowly drew his sword, and glared at them angrily: "Who are you?" ”

They are the secret guards sent by Ji Jingsheng, in fact, they were also a little surprised when they saw Meng Fusheng, because when His Royal Highness gave them an order, he said that it was only a group of officers and soldiers who escorted the grain and grass, and it was okay to deal with ordinary people, and if they met them, they would be killed!

But they have all arrived here, and they can't be deserters, and if they go back like this, the prince will definitely punish them severely.

Thinking of this, their eyes immediately sharpened.

The snow is still falling, and it never seems to stop.

Only a snap was heard, the sound of snow crushing down the branches, as if it was a signal to attack, and both sides began to move at the same time.

But in the end, there is no doubt that the secret guards who did not expect Meng Fusheng to come with people were defeated and fled, Meng Fusheng only chased them for a short distance and stopped, he was afraid that this was the other party's strategy to attack the west.

After this episode, the back was much smoother, and Meng Fusheng sent all the grain and grass to the border all the way unharmed.

The abundant grain and grass brought a steady stream of vitality and motivation to the Kunguo army, and some soldiers even cried with joy.

The big stone that pressed on Su Ming's heart finally fell, so it was time to find some trouble for Cangguo, and take advantage of the fact that the other party's grain and grass had not moved, and beat them fiercely!

Su Ming found Meng Fusheng and several generals to discuss tactics that night, and they chatted until the second half of the night, formulating a number of tactics that they were very satisfied with, and then everyone went back to rest with confidence, recuperated and waited for tomorrow's battle.

The next day, as the sun rose, the earth-shattering killing sound was forced to the city of Cangguo Jeju, and in the face of a group of morale-surging tiger and wolf divisions, the Cangguo soldiers retreated in defeat one after another.

The soldiers of Kunguo are like bamboos, and the fierce warriors and superb tactics are almost perfectly coordinated, allowing Cangguo to see the terrifying strength of Kunguo.

In the past few days, the number of soldiers killed and wounded in Kunguo is very small, but Cangguo has suffered heavy losses, and everyone's faces are that gray color, on the other hand, they are beaming, as if they are celebrating the New Year.

Chapter 650: The Beginning of the Clouds and the Sunsink Pavilion (61)

One urgent message after another flew back to the imperial capital of Cangguo from the border, Ji Jingsheng was torn one after another angrily, and all the staff members were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, but in this way, there were still people who were used by him to vent their anger, and they didn't know who kicked them.

Since the launch, Ji Jingsheng's temper has been getting worse and worse, but he is in power, and no one dares to say anything cool.

"Rubbish! Rubbish! Ji Jingsheng scolded in his mouth, "I can't even stop the grain and grass, it's not a bunch of waste!" What about Meng Fusheng? One person can scare you! ”

It turned out that there was still a group of secret guards kneeling in the corner, and they listened with their faces down and expressionless.

Some staff members also muttered in their hearts, Meng Fusheng is not terrible, then you have been against him for so long and have not seen you successfully catch someone, and even people can run under your nose.

But no matter how much he complained in his heart, he still listened to it obediently, and he didn't dare to put a fart.

When Ji Jingsheng finished his breath, he remembered what was going on, and immediately asked people to send reinforcements over, so be sure to arrive in time.

As soon as the news spread, he sat heavily in his chair, and his cold eyes swept over everyone present, who were his confidants.

"What do you think?"

One of them, an older man who looked very energetic, came out and arched his hand: "Your Highness, if you wait until the reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid Jeju City will be gone....."

Before he could finish speaking, a young and vigorous staff member jumped out to object, "What do you mean by that?" Does it mean that the heroes of our Cangguo can't withstand the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Kunguo? Are you questioning His Highness's decision? What a bold man! ”

The older man was not angry, but directly ignored him, "Our grain and grass have not been delivered yet, it is the time of hunger and cold, and the grain and grass of Kunguo have arrived, and the army is determined, so there are so many casualties every day." It's not that the old body is not confident in His Highness's decision, but it is true. ”

The neglected young man blushed and scolded: "Evil words confuse the public! Don't think you know a lot when you're old, I think you're an old man with conceit! His Highness's decision is not wrong! ”

"Don't make any noise." Ji Jingsheng lightly swept the young man who was jumping up and down like a monkey, and nodded to the older one, "Then what do you think?" What do you think is the best way to do it? ”

The young man's face turned gray in an instant, Ji Jingsheng's meaning was very obvious, obviously trusting the old staff, but Ji Jingsheng's words, even if he gave him a hundred dares, he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to return to the crowd with a disgraced face.

The older one said safely: "The old man thinks that before the reinforcements arrive, we can use the existing people to create the illusion that we are not short of manpower, so that not only can the other party throw a mouse and dare not harass them, but also consume their troops, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will be taken down in one go!" ”

Ji Jingsheng's eyes gradually showed a look of satisfaction, and he said to him: "The idea is excellent." ”

Then Ji Jingsheng wrote this plan into a letter and passed it to the general on the border, after the general received it, although he couldn't bear it, but the military order was like a mountain, he immediately carried out the order, and pulled the strong men from house to house, let them change into soldiers' clothes, and temporarily act as soldiers.

Naturally, the people were unwilling, and some families had only one adult man, and they were captured like this, and if something happened on the battlefield, their family would be ruined.

But where did those soldiers have the heart to care about the suffering and sorrow of their family, they pulled people and left, if anyone stopped them, regardless of 3721, they would beat them first and then talk about it, just like that, they soon "recruited" enough strong men, and at this time the city was already crying.

The people who were arrested also wanted to escape, they were just ordinary people, where did they kill people, let alone go to the battlefield, as soon as they heard about this courage, they were frightened.

But the ruthless general grabbed a strong man who escaped, cut off his head in front of everyone, and made an example of the monkeys. Even if I was so scared that my hands were shaking, I still went to the battlefield with a weapon that I couldn't even use skillfully.

The results are immediate! Kunguo was temporarily blocked.

Meng Fusheng and the others were quite surprised by the sudden extra people in Cangguo, obviously the last time they fought on the opposite side, they were already in a state of weakness and powerlessness, but today there were suddenly more people, could it be that the other party's reinforcements arrived?

Meng Fusheng told Su Ming about his discovery, saying that he suspected that they had reinforcements, and Su Ming also felt that this was very likely, because he also found that the number of people on the other side had suddenly increased.

But when fighting again, Meng Fusheng keenly discovered that many of the soldiers on the other side didn't even know how to use weapons, and they lost their weapons in a hurry, and this was the most taboo on the battlefield, and then they died.

This is really strange, after all, if a soldier who has really been on the battlefield, it is reasonable to say that it is impossible to lose his weapon in danger and flee in a hurry.

However, if only one or two soldiers are in this situation, it can be said that they are afraid of being scared by the bloody scene, but Meng Fusheng looked at the past, there are no longer a few such people, and it is really strange for you to be like this.

After collecting the troops, Meng Fusheng mentioned this to Su Ming, but Su Ming also found out about this situation, but his brain was too simple and he didn't think deeply at all, but when Meng Fusheng mentioned it, he also felt that something was wrong.

In the end, Meng Fusheng decided to go to Jeju City to find out the situation in person.

As soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong, there were many fewer pedestrians on the street, and he rarely saw adult men, mostly women or young men.

Meng Fusheng frowned, and when he entered a teahouse, he saw only a few adult men sitting there drinking tea, and there was no leisure or joy in his expression.

He pretended to be fine, went in, sat down beside them, and then raised his voice, and pretended to lament worriedly: "Alas, business is not doing well now, and there are so few people on the street. ”

"Isn't it?" As soon as his words fell, someone catered to him, with a sad face, "Yes, it's not a matter of arresting people a few days ago, who has a man who doesn't hide a man, who dares to trespass on the street." ”

"Hey, don't say it so loudly, aren't you afraid of death?"

The other person looked secretive, patted the person who spoke, and then said to Meng Fusheng: "Now, you can't talk nonsense, if one is not good, this life will be gone." ”

Then he lowered his voice and said in a voice that only a few of them could hear: "I heard a friend say that most of those people who were arrested in the past couldn't come back, and they were used as cannon fodder, which is also pitiful. ”
