"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Jiude's face turned pale, and he retorted.

"Am I talking nonsense? You know if I'm talking nonsense, and it's easy for us to figure it out, just arrest the detained soldiers and try them for trial! Chen Daquan said with full confidence.

"You dare, my soldiers, if you want to be tried, I will also be judged, don't work for the general soldiers!" Lu Jiude was in a hurry.

"Hmph, your soldiers killed our people, of course we will judge!" Chen Daquan pointed to Mai Mang, Lu Jiude was in a hurry, if this was an interrogation, he might really have a problem, no matter whether he instructed the soldiers to grab food or not, it was easy to buckle him with such a hat with the usual tricks of officialdom.

"Vice General Chen, go and bring someone back for me!" Lu Jiude shouted.

Chen Yuanjie really dared to move, but at this time, Qin Yiming finally went berserk, and shouted: "The shield battalion obeys orders, if anyone dares to move, there will be no mercy on the spot, if there is a deputy general and general soldiers, arrest him, I will cut him with Shang Fang's sword!" ”

"Yes!"

Shang Fang Sword?!

Lu Jiude and Chen Yuanjie didn't dare to move anymore, they knew what this Qin Yiming was, this person was a martial artist, he was very muddy, it was really possible to kill them.

"Come on, tie up all the soldiers who participated in the killing, and deal with it by military law!" Qin Yiming ordered.

"Yes!" Yang Jiuyi received the order.

"The people of the co-cong battalion, I order you to release General Li Cheng immediately, and whoever of you who participated in the seizure of General Li Cheng will stand up and receive a hundred military sticks!"

A hundred military sticks! The average person can't survive!

"My lord, it was my idea, they all listened to me, and I am willing to be punished!" The soldier on his knees shouted.

"What's your name?"

"Zhou Hei, my brothers all call me Lao Hei!"

"Okay, let them release Li Cheng, and then you can find Li Cheng to lead a hundred military sticks yourself!"

"Yes!"

Li Cheng was released, and soon came to Qin Yiming's big tent.

"Thank you, Lord for saving your life!" Li Cheng knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Get up, has the Xiecong Battalion subsided, why are they going to rob the food of the Xiecong Battalion? Do they have no food for themselves? ”

"It's calmed down, I heard that there was a shortage of food yesterday, and there is also General Chen's military department, it is estimated that it will only be a day or two of rations, and General Zuo doesn't know what the situation is!" Li Cheng said.

"That Zhou Hei, can you be merciful?" Qin Yiming asked.

"My lord, you asked me to punish Zhou Hei, how can I not know the deep meaning of this, ordinary people will definitely die with a hundred military sticks, but Zhou Hei will not die, he will definitely be grateful to me in the future, and this co-cong battalion will be easy to control in the future!" Li Cheng said respectfully.

"Well, I didn't dare to use the co-cong camp before, but it seems that it can be used in the future! But these people need to be exercised and everything will be said after the war is over. ”

"Yes!"

Qin Yiming suddenly said: "This matter also alerted me, and asked the little monkey to invite the lords of the prison army and the commanders of the general soldiers to come to me, as well as their quartermasters." ”

Lu Jiude came to Qin Yiming's big tent angrily, the others had already arrived, he was angry because Qin Yiming cut his people, of course, if Qin Yiming didn't cut those people, he would be even more angry, fortunately, Qin Yiming is a bright and upright person, and he didn't play the trick of framing him.

"General Qin, what do you mean, before the battle starts, you will kill your own people first, is there someone like you who leads the troops? Hum! ”

When Chen Daquan saw this eunuch, he raised his bar, "Lord Lu, this is a military camp, your people are robbing the military rations and affecting the unity of the various departments, shouldn't they be killed?" ”

"The soldiers have nothing to eat, of course they are restless, besides, you yourself are unfair, those thieves who surrendered have food, and my men are hungry, can they not rob it?"

Qin Yiming shouted: "Okay, don't fight, I invite everyone to come today to solve the food problem." The following quartermasters, all report how many days of rations are left in your battalion? ”

"We barely have three days left in the camp."

"We barely lasted two days."

"We don't have a day left!"

Qin Yiming asked his quartermaster: "How much food do we have, how many days can a total of 100,000 troops last?" ”

"My lord, we have 3,000 stones, but there are so many people, it will last for seven or eight days at most." The quartermaster replied.

"How long does it take to transfer food from Pingli Fort, the fastest!" Qin Yiming asked.

"Ten days at the earliest!" Yang Qianhu replied.

When everyone hears this, what can they do? Won't the army be scattered when the time comes?

"Lord Qin, now everyone listens to you and is controlled by you, of course you have to solve this food problem." Lu Jiude said in a weird manner, seeing Qin Yiming's embarrassed look at this moment, he was quite proud in his heart.

Chen Daquan smiled darkly, "Hey, some people, it really makes us look down on them, who came at the beginning, rushed to ask everyone to listen to him, and now there are things like a turtle with a shrunken head, it's really shameful." ”

"You !!"

"Lu Jianjun, I have my own way to solve this food problem, Ai Baihu, you lead the cavalry battalion, hurry back to transport grain, and give you ten days at most, after ten days, the food is not available, and the military law will deal with it!" Let's go now."

"Yes, sir!"

"For the sake of fairness, lest everyone think that I have selfish intentions, I would like to appoint a quartermaster general to distribute food and pay uniformly, what do you think?"

"Very good!" Lu Jiude, Chen Daquan, Zuo Liangyu and others have no opinions.

"Okay, I will now appoint the quartermaster of the Lu Jian Army as the chief quartermaster, and he will distribute food to the battalions in the future, do you have any opinions."

Of course, everyone has no opinion, and Lu Jiude has no opinion, his own quartermaster is the chief quartermaster, so can his own people still be hungry? Lu Jiude felt that Qin Yiming might have offended himself before, and wanted to use this to gag his mouth and sell himself well, but he didn't say anything, and he understood in his heart.

"Old man Fei, you are now the chief quartermaster, and the distribution of food in the future should be fair, don't let people gossip."

"Yes, Lord Warden.

"Man, what is this? Wheat flour? ”

"I don't know it, where do the southerners have wheat, this is sweet potato flour, look at your stupidity, this is the military rations given to us by the thousands of households in De'an!" The guy said with a look on his face, and the work in his hands did not stop, and he set up a pot and began to boil hot water.

"Sweet potato? I don't know, in the past, there was an adult in Xuanda who asked us to plant sweet potatoes, saying that this thing has a high yield and is drought tolerant, but where do we dare, everyone resisted, and then it was gone, I was afraid that this thing would not survive in Xuanda. ”

"Hmph, don't you dare to plant? The people of the De'an Thousand Households Plant very well, and they heard that the yield of this thing is ten times that of rice, and every household in their area can now have enough to eat. ”

"Is it really that powerful? But how do you eat it? ”

"They taught me, it's very simple, just boil the water, put some salt, and then keep stirring, of course, you can also add some shredded meat, put some chili powder or something, drink a bowl for one person, this thing is full, and you will know later."

"Paprika? What is it? ”

"It's also their share, saying that it's cold, eat some spicy and warm."

Inside Lu Jiude's big tent.

Lu Jiude saw a bowl of slimy things on the table, stared at him in a daze, and asked, "What is this?" We've eaten everything, but we've never seen anything like this! ”

"My lord, this is sweet potato porridge, and this bowl is filled with minced meat, so you can taste it."

Lu Jiude's face was disgusted, black and mushy things, looking disgusting, and said disgustedly: "Serve it to me, and let the guy serve wine and meat to our family." ”

The guards on the side were a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't your lord tell you to share the joys and hardships with the soldiers?" That's what the soldiers eat, and there is no oil or water. ”

"Hmph, the same sweet and bitter is the same sweet and bitter, just make a show, our body is expensive, I can't stand this kind of suffering, serve it to us."

"Yes, sir!"

"Slow, my stomach is hungry, bring it to me to pad my stomach first." Lu Jiude spoke, licked it with his tongue, his expression immediately lit up, and he felt that the taste was particularly good, so he began to drink it in a big gulp, and after a while, he finished it with gobbling up, wiped his mouth and said, "It's really delicious, this is really their soldier's rations?" This spicy taste is really enjoyable, it's cold, and I feel comfortable drinking! ”

Zuo Liangyu camp.

Zuo Mengeng drank this kind of sweet potato porridge for the first time, there was some minced meat on it, Zuo Mengeng drank it with relish, Zuo Liangyu had a military career for many years, and he was used to eating miscellaneous grains, this sweet potato porridge did taste very good, he felt full after drinking it, but the taste was too good, and he wanted to have a bowl.

"Besides, bring me another bowl!"

"I want it too!" Zuo Mengeng whispered.

Chen Bangzhi saw that the two of them were eating well, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I haven't seen the young master eat so fragrant from the mountains and seas, I'll go and see if there's anything else." ”

"There is only one bowl for each soldier below, and if the chief soldier wants to eat it, he should still be able to squeeze out a little." Ma Liangwen licked the scraps on the bowl and ate with a mouth full of mush.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but smile when he saw the dirty appearance of his lieutenant, Ma Liangwen knew that he looked ugly and was very embarrassed.

This sweet potato porridge, for them, is a new thing, everyone eats well, can also be full, the most important thing is that this thing can withstand hunger, can keep out the cold, eat two meals a day, quite quite or passable.

At the beginning, this sweet potato porridge can also stand up chopsticks, but in the back, this sweet potato porridge is as thin as water, so everyone will not do it, because they can't eat enough!

On the seventh day, someone finally made trouble, one person made trouble, and ten thousand people supported, Qin Yiming's big tent was surrounded by those big soldiers who made trouble.

"Withhold food, do you want us to live!"

"That's right, they don't let us eat, how can we fight! I think we'll go back to our own homes! ”

Lu Jiude also has a lot of opinions about the recent thinner and thinner sweet potato porridge, he is a person who has to drink two bowls of sweet potato porridge every day, this sweet potato porridge has become thinner, it is he, and his first reaction is to guess that the quartermaster has embezzled.

"Call me Old Man Fei, what's the matter!"

"Lord Overseer, Old Man Fei was called to his camp by Lord Qin, and General Qin's camp was surrounded by the soldiers."

Lu Jiude was shocked, "What? Hey, it looks like we're going to die again! ”
