"Food, this time Lord Ruan Xizhou's goal is food!"

"The artillery of the Ming army is indeed very powerful, and the threat to the city is great, but the people are iron, the rice is steel, and the hunger is panicked if you don't eat a meal. It is now late at night, the food and vegetables in the room should have been used up, all the grain is in the grain and grass camp, if they can be burned down, the Ming army will have no food to eat. Hehe, with picking wild fruits and vegetables and hunting, it can't supply 150,000 troops to eat, and the Ming army will soon collapse without a fight. ”

"Besides, because Lord Ruan included all the soldiers around him in the city before the Ming army attacked, and the Ming army did not know that there was a secret passage in Nanding City that led directly to the outside of the city, they must have slackened off on the possible attack on the camp of our army, and when they found out that there were my Dayu soldiers leading troops to raid the camp of King Jingjiang of the Ming Kingdom, they would definitely be a little panicked, and they would not have imagined that someone would attack the grain and grass camp again."

Niu Gui, who was wearing dark clothes and was quietly sneaking through the grass to the grain and grass camp behind the southwest camp, walked cautiously while softly explaining to Zhang Yinquan, the adjutant behind him, who was very puzzled by this.

"However, generals, although burning the food of the Ming army will make them have no food to eat, but experienced generals know that the retreat without food is very easy to collapse, and there may not be two or three out of ten people who can withdraw at that time, for the general of the army, the best way is actually to storm Nanding City with the whole army, as long as Nanding City is defeated, there will be food, and most of them will attack Nanding City day and night, regardless of casualties. How did Lord Nguyen respond? Zhang Yinquan asked.

"How does Lord Ruan respond? The Ming army will definitely not be able to defeat Nanding City, so why deal with it? Niu Gui said.

……

……

"Ruan Xizhou will definitely not take this seriously." While rushing to the grain and grass camp with the Miao soldiers of the Third Department of Education, He Wenchang explained to them: "After the first day of attacking Nanding City and losing a lot of soldiers, I found the news about the Hu clan and many generals in Annan collected by the Jinyi Guard, and turned the page about Ruan Xizhou, only to know that Ruan Xizhou, the defender of Nanding City, was not an ordinary person. ”

"Nguyen Xi Zhou was stationed in Hue City south of Annam for more than ten years, when Annam was weak, and the internal turmoil was very strong, and the city often invaded Quang Tri Prefecture in Annam, Hue as the most important city in Quang Tri State, was surrounded by the Occupants more than once, but it was never captured, just like the Marquis Geng of Changxing, who had not been captured by Zhang Shicheng for ten years. Ruan Xizhou was also appreciated by the former kings and 8 of the Annam Chen Dynasty because of this, and rose step by step. ”

Therefore, Ruan Xizhou, like the Marquis of Changxing, is very confident in his ability to garrison, and does not think that anyone can take down the city he is stationing. It is because he will not care about the next onslaught of the army, but will see it as an opportunity, and the army that has not been completely cut off after the onslaught has not taken down the city of Nanding, and the army will probably collapse on its own without the pursuit of the Annamite. Most of them even had the idea of taking the opportunity to annihilate the army. ”

He Wenchang's explanation Long Shangdeng was confused. His level of Chinese is limited, and he can understand almost all the words used in daily life, administrative words, and military words, but he doesn't know the meaning of place names and some idioms and colloquialisms.

However, the woman following behind him could understand He Wenchang's explanation. This woman is Long Shangdeng's daughter Long Ping'er, she has studied in Kunming for a few years before, she is very fluent in Chinese, and she is also familiar with the humanistic allusions of the Ming Dynasty. After He Wenchang finished speaking, Long Ping'er explained to his father in a whisper.

But then Long Ping'er turned his head and said to He Wenchang again: "Lord He, although the number of soldiers in the Annan people attacking the grain and grass camp is not very large, they must all be elites in a thousand, and our army is only more than a thousand people, how can we stop them?" ”

He Wenchang understood that Long Ping'er meant that he was afraid that the people in his long lawsuit would be annihilated because of the obstruction of the Annan people. More than a thousand soldiers are just a thousand households, which is nothing to the Ming Dynasty; But for the lawsuit of the director of the three departments of education, this is half of their young and middle-aged men, if they all die here, it will be a nerve-wracking for their chief lawsuit, even if the Ming court rewards more property, it can't make up for such a big loss.

Therefore, He Wenchang said without hesitation: "With more than 1,000 of us, we can't stop all the people who attacked the camp in Annan, but at least we must keep some of the grain and grass so that the army will not go hungry." ”

Long Shangdeng and Long Ping'er were in a slightly slower mood. If He Wenchang's answer just now had been a little hesitant, they would have collapsed at the slightest touch after encountering the Annan people, and they would not have been hindered in the slightest.

"The sons and daughters listened to my orders, and immediately rushed to the grain and grass camp at full speed to protect part of the grain in the north of the camp." Long Shangdeng shouted in Hmong.

He Wenchang listened to Long Ping'er's translation and was about to say something more, but suddenly, Long Shangdeng moved his ears and said, "There are people nearby who are marching quickly. Erlang picked up the guy and prepared to fight. ”

He Wenchang also heard the rustling sound from the nearby grass at this time, nervously pulled out the Pu knife, and prepared to fight in the direction where the sound came.

They had stopped by this point, but the voices on the other side were getting closer, and even the faint moonlight could see the grass shaking from the people who were passing through it.

Soon, several people emerged from the grass, He Wenchang shouted, waved the knife in his hand and cut down.

……

……

"Yiwei, wake up."

"Huh?" Ye Yiwei opened his sleepy eyes and said half-awake.

But then he was completely sober. Wake him up, and as soon as he opens his eyes, he splashes a basin of water on his face.

"Who is so bold! Dare to splash me with cold water! Ye Yiwei immediately shouted loudly.

"Why, do you want to punish your father?" The man said again.

"Ah, it's Daddy." Ye Yiwei shouted in surprise, and then complained: "Dad, my son is sleeping soundly at night, why are you splashing your son with water?" ”

"Of course something happened." Ye Zigao was very impatient and dragged him out of the quilt and said to him, "Hurry up and get dressed, there's no time to delay." ”

Ye Yiwei was suddenly trembling after being dragged out of the bed, and immediately put clothes on his body; As soon as he had almost put on his clothes, Ye Zigao pulled him out of the tent and went outside.

"If you listen to the shouts of killing from the north, there must be Annan people attacking the camp, but fortunately they didn't choose to attack the grain and grass camp, so let's save a little bit. But whether the Annamite attack is successful or not, General Li, the deputy general who acts as the commander of the grain and grass, will also make a round round, and it will not be good if he sees you sleeping. Therefore I have called you up for the Father's sake. Usually you just sleep secretly, but if you are caught hiding in the camp and sleeping during the general's inspection, you will think about the consequences. ”

"Even if General Li doesn't punish you heavily, your face will be lost. Remember, you are not losing your own face, but your majesty's face! To put it mildly, it's also the face of the mother! Ye Zigao said.

Ye Yiwei muttered softly: "What kind of sister's face, she doesn't care about me in the palace." It's better to be a concubine for a young master, and you can take care of it. ”

"What did you say!" Ye Zigao heard what he muttered just now, and shouted angrily: "If it weren't for your sister entering the palace, would you be able to enjoy the life of fine clothes and food in the past few years?" Your sister is a concubine for the young master in the (Zheng Guogong) mansion, if you are favored, you are just a slave with some face, if she is not favored, you have to work every day, how can you have the current life? Even the young master in the mansion didn't dare to do anything to you even though he said a few jokes when he saw you. What else are you not satisfied with. ”

"Then, she took care of you and me on the battlefield! Although it is only the commander's grain and grass, he is not allowed to be an official in the guard in the future, and he will be born and die! It's better to be a slave in the house all the time, at least your life is worry-free. Hengzhu, you still have a second brother to support the ......"

Ye Yiwei didn't finish speaking, Ye Zigao slapped his face with a big mouth, and instantly Ye Yiwei's left face turned red.

Ye Zigao shouted angrily: "Why did I raise such a thing as you!" Your sister finally has some status in the palace, and she can take care of us, and you actually talk like this! ”

"Since you said that I still have a second pension, then my father should raise you for nothing, how will you love in the future, it has nothing to do with Dad!"

Ye Yiwei's temper also came up, and he argued loudly with Ye Zigao: "Well, in the future, you will count on the second brother to retire, and you will treat your son as if he died in Annan!" ”

Ye Zigao was even more angry, and reached out to slap him in the mouth again, but he dodged him. Ye Yiwei dodged and said at the same time: "Since you said that you should raise me so big for nothing, how will I love it in the future, why should I be slapped by you?" ”

"Okay, okay, good," Ye Zigao raised his finger and pointed at Ye Yiwei, said three "yes" in a row, and was about to say something else, when suddenly there was an unusual movement from the side, Rao is he was fighting with his son, and he couldn't help but look sideways.

……

……

When the two of them first started to quarrel, Ye Zigao's soldiers had already hid against the wind. Shangguan quarreled with his son, although they had seen it a few times, but it was better to listen less to other people's housework, especially their Shangguan was still the father of the concubine in the palace, if they heard something that should not be heard, they would look for their own death, and they didn't want to die, so they hid quickly.

One of them said: "The Lord of Qianhu is too, every time he quarrels with Ye Yiwei in public, we are learning to be obedient and know that we can't listen, if someone passes by and listens, how bad it is." ”

"It's still Ye Yiwei who is too ignorant. How good it is to have such a mixed merit, there is no danger in the grain and grass camp and you can still make merit, if it weren't for my second uncle being the regent of Weili, how could I have had such a good errand. Ye Yiwei is really in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings. Another said.

"Hey, can you compare with others? People's own sister is a concubine in the palace, and the eldest son of the emperor, even if they eat and wait for death, they will be rich for a lifetime, the same as you think? The man who had spoken earlier said.

Later, the man who spoke argued again, and he was about to refute it, when he suddenly felt the grass beside him move violently, and said, "What's the matter?" Wild beasts walking through the grass? ”

He casually picked up the grass in front of him, and suddenly a dark shadow burst out in front of him. He realized that something was wrong, and was about to shout when he saw a shining dagger slash in front of him, and then he was gone.

Before he died, he seemed to hear screams coming from beside him.

……

……

Ye Zigao tilted his head and saw countless people in dark clothes scurrying out of the grass, wielding knives or daggers with agility to slaughter his soldiers. They moved so fast that many of them had their throats cut and fell to the ground clutching their necks before they could scream, and only a few screamed before they died.

Although Ye Zigao had not made any contributions before, he finally followed Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao father and son to the battlefield, and immediately realized that this was the Annan people who were going to raid the grain and grass camp, and stretched out his hand to drag Ye Yiwei, who was already frightened, and ran to the back. Ye Yiwei didn't know what to do at this time, and ran up with Ye Zigao's movements.

Ye Gao had done his best to avoid attracting their attention. He knew that the Annan people must not have come here to kill many Ming troops, but to burn as much grain as possible, and they should not send troops to chase the Ming troops who were scattered and fled, so he ran towards the place where there was little food to prevent being chased. As for the duty of guarding grain and grass, he had already left it behind at this time.
