As soon as Yan Agu spoke, there was a sudden silence in the chaotic tent, and all the Jurchen generals closed their mouths and straightened their waists, looking like they were listening carefully. Wanyan Aguda's prestige in the Jurchen army can be seen from this.

“…… I went to the top of the cliff this morning to see it again, and I thought that after the night, the flood water outside would subside a lot. However...... It was worse than I thought. The flood water doesn't seem to have receded much. In the west, the flooding of the Daling River is serious, and it is still an ocean. Needless to say, the east side is a mess. I have to say to you, I'm afraid we're in big trouble. Wanyan Agu said with a solemn face.

The felt tent suddenly became a mess as if it had exploded, and the Jurchen generals were talking emotionally. Lin Jue listened to their conversation with a frown, vaguely understanding what they were talking about. What the Jurchen generals were talking about was exactly what Lin Jue had expected before: the problem of insufficient supplies and being trapped here.

"Okay, okay, don't panic." General Yalu Buhua, who was sitting not far from Wanyan Aguda, slapped his face and shouted.

Everyone slowly calmed down, and their eyes all looked at Wanyan Aguda.

"I can understand your feelings, although we escaped the catastrophe, but we were trapped in this and Dragon Mountain. We have less than two days of dry food at the moment. It's really a lot of trouble at the moment. The flood is receding very slowly, and even if the weather is fine now, I estimate that it will take at least three to five days to recede. However, even if the flood waters receded and the ground was covered with silt, it would take a few days for people to pass through. In this case, it can be a big problem. Originally, I thought that we would simply go west through this mountain and go straight to the hinterland of the Liao people, but the west was obviously also flooded, and this road was impassable. In this case, we have to find a way. If we were trapped here for more than ten days, we would all starve to death here. There aren't many wild animals in this mountain, but we're in the hundreds of thousands. Could it be that we will eventually have to eat our own horses? Wanyan Agu said in a deep voice.

"That's not possible, the horses can't be eaten, and if you eat the horses, how will you fight in the future?"

"That is, the war horse is my brother, and I will not eat it if I starve to death. I'd rather eat root turf. ”

The crowd shouted. Every Jurchen and his war horse are like brothers, and they are all feelings that have grown up together, no less than the brotherhood between people. It is really unacceptable to let eat war horses.

Wanyan Agu waved his hand and said, "I just said that, and I didn't let you slaughter the horses to eat." However, the current situation is very critical, and if it comes to the last moment, I am afraid that some things will have to be done. But before that, we still have some time, so we have to work together on countermeasures. ”

There was a lot of discussion and suggestions. Some people say that they should immediately send people around to hunt, and there are some wild beasts in this mountain, and they may be able to last an extra day or two. Some people say that they simply march through the mountains to the west and try their luck. Perhaps the western side of the mountain was not flooded. What's more, it's impossible to eat horses or anything, but it's okay to eat people. Mo Ruo sent people to the bottom of the mountain to collect the drowned corpses, but if he couldn't do it, he would eat human flesh. The person who said this glanced at Lin Jue and licked his lips intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Jue's hair stood on end, and he was startled. These Jurchens are almost barbarian people, and when they reach the point of exhaustion, they really don't know what to do. If you really don't have to eat, I'm afraid that I and my more than 100 people will really be cooked and eaten by them as food.

None of these suggestions will solve the problem. Wanyan Aguda is now worried not only about the problem of supply cut-off, but also that if he does not evacuate in time, once he is trapped here by the Liao army, and the supply is cut off, he will face the danger of annihilation. You must know that although the Liao people seem to have suffered heavy losses, there are more than 100,000 cavalry of Yeluchun north of the Daling River. In fact, there are more than 100,000 Liao infantry in the east who were first pursued by the cavalry and fell behind. If Yelu Zongyuan gathered some more soldiers and horses to come from the west, it would be a three-sided encirclement. When the flood waters receded, they would also flock there, and then their own people would be so hungry that they would not even have the strength to walk.

In the middle of a deep groan, Wanyan Aguda's eyes saw Lin Jue, who was sitting there frowning and contemplating. It is said that the Great Zhou people are extremely resourceful, and this Lin Jue once served as a senior official of the Great Zhou court, and he must be a person with great ideas. Why not ask this person what he thinks.

"Lord Lin, what do you want?" Wanyan Agu asked.

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "I'm listening to you discussing things." ”

Wanyan Agu Dao: "But I don't know what Lord Lin thinks about this?" You should understand the current situation. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "What idea can I have?" I don't dare to talk nonsense, such a major matter is still decided by the Great Leader Wanyan and the generals. I don't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Wanyan Agu frowned and said, "I invite you to come here just to let you come up with some ideas." Don't you people in the Great Zhou often say that you should work together? At this time, everyone has to discuss. Don't you have a saying in Da Zhou called 'Three stinkers top Zhuge Liang'? What's more, Lord Lin is with us now, although you are not my Jurchens, but if my Jurchen army is finished, I am afraid you will not survive. ”

Lin Jue frowned and was silent. From the bottom of his heart, Lin Jue certainly refused to give advice to the Jurchens. But the current situation is indeed a bit tricky, and now he is actually being held hostage by the Jurchens, and the Jurchens are not immune to the current situation. Moreover, Lin Jue also heard the worry in Wanyan Aguda's heart, worried that the longer the time, not only the supply crisis, but also the threat of the Liao people. The life and death of the Jurchens and the Liao people are naturally not their concern, but if the Jurchens are exterminated by the Liao, their own group will also have to die, and they can't stay out of it. So it's not so much about helping the Jurchens find a way, it's better to help themselves find a way to survive.

Besides, if you can give Wanyan Aguda an idea to help him get out of trouble, maybe Wanyan Aguda will have a good impression of himself, so that he can get out smoothly later.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue changed his mentality and began to think about it seriously. After a while, Lin Jue had a countermeasure.

"Great Leader Wanyan, since you need your opinion, I will make an immature suggestion below. If it works, it will do, and if it is not, please don't blame it. Lin Jue's words.

"Oh? Do you have an idea? Say it quickly, say it quickly. What's to blame? If it becomes a convenient use, if it is not successful, then find a way. Wanyan Agu was overjoyed, and all the Jurchen generals also looked at Lin Jue, wanting to hear what this southerner would think.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll speak freely." Chieftain Wanyan, I personally believe that the crisis of supply is not the biggest crisis. The Liao soldiers and horses were not defeated, you know. The flood did not hurt you in the slightest, but it did keep you here. This gave the Liao people time to mobilize troops for a siege. There is no supply, and there is the fear of being surrounded by enemy troops, this is the biggest crisis. There is a real danger of the destruction of the army. ”

Just listening to these few words, Wanyan Agu was impressed by Lin Jue. What Lin Jue said was exactly what he was most worried about, but he didn't say it to everyone. Lin Jue hit the nail on the head, obviously not comparable to these mediocre talents under his account. His method must have been clever as well. Listen carefully at the moment.

“…… Right now, you only have two days left to resupply, and you're trapped in this mountain, which is really tricky. However, as long as it is handled properly, it is still possible to get out of trouble. With all due respect, with all due respect, in the current situation, the Great Leader of Wanyan should act immediately, instead of waiting for a long time here. My suggestion is, go both. Don't you have a falcon message? When's the time to wait? Immediately alert the rear, and let them rush to meet the supplies. This is one of them. The second is to immediately control food. All the grain and grass of the army must be handed over and distributed according to the plan. The most important of these is not people, but horses. A man cannot die of hunger for four or five days, but a horse has no strength to walk, which can greatly affect the speed of getting out of trouble. Therefore, it is enough for people to eat one meal a day, and horses cannot be deducted. In this way, I believe that the saved food will allow the horses to travel for an extra day. If you count it backwards and forwards, it is six days. In six days, how can you meet with the soldiers and horses who responded. Lin Jue said with his fingers on his fingers.

The Jurchen generals blinked their eyes full of confusion, what this day and that day, they didn't understand at all. This kid finally tossed six days. Obviously, the supply is only enough for two days, even if the people don't eat for the horses, it will only last one more day. What is this kid counting?

"Hey, what do you say? Obviously it lasted for three days at most, but how did it become six days? You kid fooling people, aren't you? One of the generals with yellow hair and pigtails couldn't help but scream.

"yes, where did you come for six days? For six days, we all returned to Liaoyang Mansion. Big chief, this kid is talking nonsense. A group of generals chimed in.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Are your brains full of paste? Let's hold on for three days, won't the rescued soldiers and horses stay put? Didn't you go for three days? They are three days and we are three days, isn't that six days? Although only three days had passed, it was a six-day journey. You said that you can go to Liaoyang Mansion, isn't that just time to be saved? ”

All the generals suddenly realized, and they all scratched their heads and said: "Damn, I forgot that the rescuer has been gone for three days." Why don't you say it? Don't go around the bend with us. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "I didn't make a detour, it was your brain that didn't detour." ”

Everyone smacked their lips and was dissatisfied, and muttered something that Lin Jue didn't understand. Suddenly, someone shouted, "No, your method seems to be good, but the question is, how do we get out of the mountain?" It's flooded all around, how do you get out? ”

"Yes, it's flooded on all sides, and it's the key to get out of here. It's useless. Sure enough, he is a southern barbarian, talking about war, and his head is the way, but it is all empty words. The generals scoffed.
