Chapter 35 The Struggle for Food and Grass

The next day, as soon as Bas woke up and got up, he received a letter from Mrs. Yang from Shangjing.

"Good, good, good!"

Looking at the contents of the letter, Bas said three good things in a row, so that the lieutenants around him couldn't help but be curious about the content of the letter.

After reading the letter, Bas raised his head and looked at the lieutenant general, and said, "Do you know what the Taishi has in mind?"

When the generals heard Bass's words, they muttered in their hearts, how could they know the contents of the letter without reading it? Everyone shook their heads.

A general suddenly said on a whim after Ba's words: "Could it be that Taishi Yang killed the Zhao Emperor?"

The other generals all looked at this general with a look of foolishness, and after hearing the general's words, Ba laughed out loud and said, "If Yang Taishi really kills the Zhao Emperor, then the prince will let him be Batu's Yu Yue."

Seeing that Ba was in such a good mood to joke with everyone after reading the letter, all the generals were curious about what Taishi Yang said in the letter!

"That prince, what is it that Taishi Yang said in his letter?"

The general who had just spoken asked Bass suspiciously.

Seeing that the general asked, Ba Bas roughly told everyone the contents of the letter: "Yang Taishi's letter said that Zhao Xuan, the chief general of the Celestial Empire's reinforcements, brought tens of thousands of deniers of grain and grass with him, and he is also starting to disturb the court of the Celestial Empire."

After listening to the contents of the letter, the generals could still understand that Yang Taishi was disturbing the Celestial Empire, that is, Yang Taishi was causing chaos in the Celestial Empire; But what does this have to do with Zhao Xuan bringing tens of thousands of dannies of grain and grass with the army?

Looking at everyone's confused looks, Buzz sighed, and then explained: "We are now short of grain and grass, and the tens of thousands of deniers of grain and grass in the Celestial Empire are so useful to us."

After such a detailed explanation by Bath, the generals in Batu's camp realized that now they are short of food and grass, if they get the food and grass of the Celestial Empire army, then they don't have to worry about the food and grass of the army!

"Then I will send someone to find out where their Celestial Empire army has arrived at first."

Simo thought about it seriously, and without waiting for Bass to order, he suddenly said.

Buzz also had this intention, and nodded to Simo with satisfaction after hearing him say this; However, before the four models turned to leave, the wizard's voice, although small and hoarse, still reached the ears of everyone in the camp.

"Since ancient times, the grain and grass have gone first in marching and fighting, thinking that Zhao Xuan has already ordered a team of reinforcements to transport the grain and grass to Yuzhou in advance, and at the same time will let the spies report to Mu Kun, and then send a large army to respond, why don't the prince send people to pay close attention to the movements of Mu Kun and others in the Heavenly Dynasty?"

The wizard's words were very reasonable, and Buzz heard the wizard's words.

In Yuzhou, Mu Kun sat on the main general seat in the camp, and then said to several Celestial Dynasty generals under his head: "According to the information provided by the scouts sent by the three princes, the three princes will lead the army to Yuzhou in a few days, and we will not have to stay in Yuzhou City at that time, and we will go all out to recover Jingzhou."

During this period of time, because of the less than 50,000 troops in Yuzhou City, the generals who have always liked to gallop on the battlefield are very angry; Now hearing Mu Kun's words, the faces of the generals of the Celestial Empire showed excitement.

Putting everyone's expressions into their eyes, in Mu Kun's heart, he has been staying in Yuzhou City during this time, and he has been scolded and picked up by Batu every day, but they can't open the city to fight, which is also the most angry time since Mu Kun joined the army.

When he heard the spies report accepted by the scout sent by Zhao Xuan to deliver the news, Mu Kun's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Kun looked at the several generals under his eyes, and then said: "Yumu, you send more soldiers to pay attention to the grain and grass operated by the reinforcements in the past few days, and it should come almost tomorrow."

Yumu heard Mu Kun's order and nodded in response.

"Remember, don't let the Batu soldiers outside the city find out."

Thinking of the Batu army that often appeared outside the city, Mu Kun couldn't help but tell Yumu again and again.

"Is there any news from Vice General Cheng Wei?"

Mu Kun asked a general on the left.

Cheng Wei and the others have been going to Jingzhou for some time, but there has been no news back.

The general who was asked shook his head, "I haven't received any news from Vice General Cheng." ”

Hearing this, Mu Kun nodded clearly, and then arranged for the deputy generals to wait in Yuzhou City, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

The next day, the armies of the two states of Jingyu were safely guarded in their respective barracks, and the prelude to the coming storm was hidden under the seemingly calm surface.

The day is fine, and when the night falls, everything becomes turbulent.

As soon as night came, the army of the Celestial Empire transporting grain and grass had already arrived at the border of Yuzhou, and Mu Kun received a report from the scout, and according to the previous order, Yumu led the army to meet the army of grain and grass.

At this time, in the Batu camp, Baas also learned that the Celestial Empire's army transporting grain and grass had arrived at the border of Yuzhou.

In order to be able to snatch the tens of thousands of deniers of grain and grass from the Celestial Empire, Baas personally led his 100,000 troops to the border of Yuzhou.

Xiaotao, a small town on the border of Yuzhou.

The general who was sent by Zhao Xuan this time was the queen's maiden brother, General Nie Bunie.

"General Nie, the last general has already sent someone to inform General Mu, I believe that he will soon lead a large army to meet us."

A scout said from Neb's side.

Nie Bu heard the words of the scout, then nodded, glanced at the tired army behind him, and said: "Now that we have reached the border of Yuzhou, General Mu Kunmu, the general stationed in Yuzhou, has learned that we have arrived in Yuzhou, and will send a large army to meet us in a while.

When Nebu's words fell, the army transporting grain and grass also stopped.

Since the beginning of the journey, the army that participated in the transportation of grain and grass has been paying attention to the movements of the army all the way every day, and in their eyes, during this time, grain and grass are more important than their lives.

Now hearing Nie Bu's words, the army transporting grain and grass couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they could make up for the lack of good sleep during this time.

As the night deepens, the moon illuminates half of the sky, and occasionally two stars twinkle in the distance.

Under the hazy night, accompanied by the cool summer breeze, the breeze blows, the leaves sway, and the shadows on the ground change into various postures.

The tired army was sleeping, and suddenly a sound of Suosuo woke up so-and-so.

Nebu thought he had encountered an enemy army, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was nothing more than a snake approaching him.

Pulling out the dagger on his body and slaying the snake, forgetting that the army was still sleeping behind him, Niebu was about to rest for a while before leading the army forward.

It's just that so-and-so, who had just closed his eyes and was pretending to sleep, suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps approaching this side; Listening carefully to the sound of approaching footsteps, Nie Bu realized that he couldn't tell how many pairs of footsteps there were.

The alarm bell in my heart is loud, and the unrecognizable footsteps must be a large number of people, could it be that I have encountered bandits and bandits?

As soon as this idea was formed in his mind, he was cut off by Nie Bu, if it was a bandit and bandit in Yuzhou, knowing that he and others were the army of the DPRK and China, how could he suddenly come to rob them without fear of death?

If it's not bandits, then, is it... Batuu's people?

Taken aback by his thoughts, Nebu quickly woke up the scouts around him and asked him to wake up the army.

At this moment, Bass led an army of 100,000 people to the front, looking at the long cart loaded with grain and grass not far away, Bass's eyes lit up, and a trace of greed appeared on his face.

"Who are you from Batu, who dare to sneak into Yuzhou?"

Nie Bu looked vigilantly at the 100,000 army behind the other party, and the army that transported grain and grass by himself was only about 50,000 people, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Bas glanced at Neb, then stayed on the long line of grain and hay carts.

"Which general of the Celestial Empire? Leave the grain and grass for yourself and get out! ”

Although Nie Bu knew in his heart that Bass must have brought the army over because of the grain and grass, and now that he heard him say it, Nie Bu was still a little shocked.

As soon as they arrived in Yuzhou, they sent someone to inform Mu Kun, but they didn't expect that Mu Kun, who received them, did not come, but ushered in Batu's army.

Although Nie Bu is not as brave and resourceful as Mu Kun, he has been in the military camp for a longer time than Mu Kun.

"Batu's child, dare to be so presumptuous in front of this general, if this is your Batu's territory, you can come and go like your own back garden!"

Hearing Nie Bu's words, Ba Ruying's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Just by you, you also want to win the 100,000 iron cavalry behind me?" Even Mu Kun, who calls himself a young general in your Celestial Empire, was beaten by me to nest in Yuzhou City and didn't dare to come out, just because you, a nobody, dare to speak wildly in front of this prince, hum! ”

Bas is invincible in the world as the overlord, and his bold words are even more angry.

So-and-so looked at the arrogant Bass opposite, since he had fought for so many years, he had never suffered a loss downstairs in the enemy's army, but now he was said by Bass to be inferior to Mu Kun.

In the harem of the Celestial Empire, Mu Kun's sister Mu Guifei has been competing with her sister for favor, and above the government outside the palace, an ignorant young man who is younger than himself occupies the limelight everywhere.

Now that he was in the enemy army, he was said to be inferior to Mu Kun, and a trace of ruthless anger flashed in Nie Bu's heart.

Not talking nonsense with Bass, Neb ordered the army that transported grain and grass to leave 10,000 to hold the grain and grass, and the remaining 40,000 troops to kill the army behind Bass with him.
