Chapter 753: Delivering Food (3)
Zhu Youchen boarded the pallet and said to the people on the boat:
"Please bother, let me go, and the King of Yin Heaven will come down and ask to see you."
"Wait, I'll report."
Huang Che's subordinates turned around and left, and at this time, Bailiyan and Huang Che were fighting on the upper floor of the building, and their vision was unclear when it was dark, and they couldn't see the appearance of the people who came.
The person who got to report was driven by King Yintian, and Bai Liyan thought in a blink of an eye that it was the person sent by Gongsun Yue that day. Then he led several guards to the bow trestle, and by the faint light of the fire, he was sure that it was that man.
Seeing Bailiyan appear, Zhu Youchen stepped forward and gave a slight salute:
"It's polite."
"Strong men are exempt, what is the current situation?"
"Your Excellency, please, take a step to speak."
"Alright, come with me."
The two came to the bow of the boat, retreated left and right, and Zhu Youchen said:
"At present, the food and grass of the three armies are about to be cut off, morale is low, and the people are sluggish, and the situation is very favorable."
"Well, Ben Shuai also saw it. But this is 200,000 horses, and if you mutini overnight, the slightest mistake will cause a catastrophe, and your master can be sure. ”
"Please rest assured, among the 200,000 horses, the master has already controlled 130,000 horses, and the remaining 70,000 are the soldiers and horses of the Holy Order."
"What is the situation of these 130,000 horses, and why can they obey your master's orders?" Bai Liyan asked.
"Half of these 130,000 horses are Qi, Yan, Zhao, Chen, Liang, Zhi and other people, half are the children of the central and eastern counties of Sun Guo, and the commander and the generals are all guest generals, and they are all friendly with their masters. And some of them have been admiring your Excellency for a long time and are willing to do it, so it is not a big problem.
The biggest problem is the soldiers and horses of the Holy Order, many of which are slaves of the Sun State and the Xu State and the Patriots in the early years, and the military power is in the hands of the Holy Order, although the will is not firm, but if you start to do it, it is still very troublesome.
Therefore, the master ordered his own people to eat first, and the soldiers and horses of the Holy Order Division to eat later, and at the same time gathered all the military attaches and the Holy Orders Division, so that their soldiers and generals were separated, and if anyone did not obey, he was immediately killed. ”
"This is easy to do, I will bring 100,000 inches of silver with me, let's salute first and then soldiers, if you don't listen to persuasion, you don't want the silver, and it's not too late to do it in the end."
"Well, I'll report to the King of Heaven at once, and ask Your Excellency to do the camera."
The two agreed on the details, and Zhu Youchen quickly returned to the shore and reported the news to Mo Yunfeng.
"General Mo, the connector came in person, and the grain and grass on the ship are enough to eat for four or five days."
"Well, you take the brothers to guard against it, and I'll go to report to the king."
"No!"
When he was young, Mo Yunfeng came to Gongsun Yue's car, Wang Tianshi still did not leave, seeing Mo Yunfeng coming, Wang Tianshi hurriedly said:
"General Mo Yunfeng, come to the bottom of the boat and ask for the way."
"Respect Wang Tianshi, the ship was originally in Ye Feng to load grain and grass to Ganfu County, because the Xian army chased Ye Feng, they fled to Xuandi, Xuandi stayed for a short time, and was caught up by the Xian army, so he had to continue to flee south, preparing to flee to Helong County through the Mutao River, and then enter the Sishui River."
"Oh, so there's food on board."
"Yes. Our army has asked, and only seven or eight of the twenty ships are loaded with food, which is only enough for our army to eat for four or five days. ”
"That's great." Wang Tianshi was overjoyed, and said to Gongsun Yue: "King Yintian, with grain and big ships, Peicheng will supply grain and grass again, and the old man will take advantage of it, the Xian army has not yet gained a stable foothold in Xuandi, and our army will kill the past in one go." ”
"In case the Xianjun dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and burns the grain and grass, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, in my opinion, it is better to gather the people to think in the long run."
"Well, if it makes sense, then quickly gather the generals and discuss the use of troops overnight."
Wang Tianshi was reassured, and easily believed the nonsense of Gongsun Yue and Mo Yunfeng, and then summoned his generals and took a car to the big tent of the Chinese army that had been erected.
Seeing that there were many people coming, Wang Tianshi asked Gongsun Yue:
"King Yintian, the commanders of each battalion are also going to attend the meeting?"
"The stakes are very high, so you might as well ask the generals to work together to contribute ingenuity and ingenuity to help you and me defeat the enemy."
"Oh... Eh...... Why didn't you see Mo Yunfeng and Li Jian? ”
"The army is a little settled, the camp is not stable, I ordered Mo Yunfeng to urge all the troops to go down to the village to open a group, Li Jian's front army is carrying grain and grass from the ship, and together bring the main general of the navy for questioning, it should be there immediately."
"Oh......"
Gongsun Yue made a clever argument to dispel Wang Tianshi's concerns, and successfully invited him into the urn to make a turtle.
At this time, Bailiyan led 100 people ashore, Tian Peng escorted him, followed Li Jian to the camp of the Chinese army, and brought 50 large boxes with him, which were full of inches of silver, which was very heavy.
Soon after the rebels left the village, the camp was filled with war-weariness, and the soldiers were sitting or standing listlessly with yellow muscles and thin faces, and their faces were full of vegetables, waiting for the meal to be served, and their vitality was completely lost.
At this time, if an elite infantry army of 350,000 is killed, most of them will be able to kill these 200,000 horses.
Coming to the Chinese army on foot, the atmosphere changed slightly, the mental outlook of the Chinese soldiers was much better than that of the other armies, there was a faint mood of anxiety and nervousness in the air, and there was an ulterior motive hidden under the calm and normal surface.
The fortification level outside the Chinese army's big tent is average, and it is obviously loose and tight, and it is intentional.
At this time, the tent guards blocked the way:
"General Li, the military aircraft are heavy, and idle people are not allowed to enter."
"This is General Zhou who came to transport grain, and on the order of the King of Heaven, he brought General Zhou to report on the military situation."
"That being the case, General Lee, please."
The guards retreated, let go of the main road, and Li Jian turned around and said to Baili Yan:
"General Zhou, please."
"Hmm."
Bai Liyan nodded and looked at Tian Peng:
"You and the three of you bring a box with me into the tent, and the rest of the people pile the wooden boxes outside the tent and keep them under strict care."
"Got it." Tian Peng responded, turned around and ordered everyone to pile the wooden boxes in several rows on the ground, block them at the entrance of the big tent and take care of them, and then follow Bailiyan into the big tent of the Chinese army.
At this time, the tent was overcrowded, Gongsun Yue and Wang Tianshi sat on the right and left, Gongsun Yue was on the right, Wang Tianshi was on the left, and their subordinates stood on both sides, and the right side was obviously more than the left side.
Everyone's eyes were first shocked by Tian Peng's rough burrow, and then the two ring-hole axes crossed at his waist, one axe cut down, it must be a different place for people's heads. The generals whispered, and when they couldn't take their eyes off it, they saw Bailiyan appear, and Gongsun Yue remained silent and asked Li Jian.
"General Li, how is the grain and grass transferred?"
Li Jian saluted:
"Qiqi Heavenly King, the grain and grass are still in transshipment, and it will take two quarters of an hour to get ashore."
"Well, who is this?"
"King Huitian, this is General Zhou who fled into the Mutao River with a boat, and it was General Zhou who came with a grain ship."
After Li Jian finished speaking, Gongsun Yue looked at Bailiyan:
"General Zhou has had a hard time all the way, how is the battle ahead?"
Although Gongsun Yue had a Sun Guo accent, Bai Liyan could also hear Gongsun Yue's voice and tone, and at this time he was a little more sure in his heart. Quickly brewing in his heart, he said:
"Qiqi Heavenly King, Ye Feng and Xuan Di have fallen into the hands of the Xian army, Xuan Di has been burned, and the Xian army is rushing to transport Ye Feng's grain and grass."
"What, Xuan's cang's burned!" Wang Tianshi was shocked and asked again: "Is it burned by the Xianjun!" ”
"No, it was set on fire when the Peicheng Holy Order was evacuating."
"A bunch of rice buckets!"
Wang Tianshi scolded, and Gongsun Yue asked at this time:
"How many men and horses are there in the Xian army?"
"The last general fled in a hurry, and he didn't take a closer look, but there were no seventy or eighty thousand, forty or fifty thousand, and it was an ironclad heavy infantry army, carrying dozens of twelve catties and eighteen catties of earth-shattering fire, which could throw projectiles two or three miles away, which was very powerful. And there are dozens of monster balls, which are still blasting thunder and fire oil from the sky, which is extremely powerful. ”
Bailiyan bluffed and exaggerated to the fullest, and when the generals heard the news, their faces immediately did not look good. At this time, Wang Tianshi asked again:
"Okay, don't always say that the Xian army is powerful, the old man asked you, since your army passed through Xuandi, why didn't you go to Peicheng and what to do in the south."
"Back to the Heavenly Division, our army is on the order of the Divine Power Heavenly King to go to Yefeng to borrow grain, even if the Xian army blocks the east to the land and water, the last general has to return to Ganfu County as soon as possible to deliver grain. Ganfu and other places have now run out of grain, the last general has more than 50 large ships, can carry more than 100,000 stones of grain, it is very convenient to go back and forth to Ganfu, now there are only 20 ships left, no matter what, we must return to Ganfu as soon as possible to resume life.
In addition, the Heavenly Master and the Heavenly King may not know, the Xian army saw that there was no hope of obtaining Xuandi's food and grass, and had rushed to Peicheng three days ago, at this time, most of them had already arrived in Peicheng, with the Xian army's earth-shattering fire and strange balls, Petty's thousands of people's army may not be able to hold out for a day and the city will be broken. ”
Hearing the news, the Xianjun pounced on Xuandi, and the generals were shocked, and Wang Tianshi hurriedly asked Gongsun Yue:
"King Yintian, how is this good. Our army is four days away from Peicheng, with the strength of Peicheng, where can it withstand the siege of 350,000 people of the Xian army, if the Xian army takes Peicheng, our army has neither food and grass, nor a foothold, and will be defeated. ”
"Alas......" Gongsun Yue pretended to sigh, and Xiao Suo said: "I really didn't expect that the Xian army would be so fast, and it is really difficult to do it now." ”
Gongsun Yue didn't know whether what Bai Liyan said at this time, if Xuandi Dacang was burned, it would be natural for the Xian army to concentrate their forces to attack Peicheng, and he needed a step down at this time in order to lead the situation to the script he wanted.
After a little thought, Gongsun Yue asked again:
"How many days can General Zhou's grain and grass last?"
"It can barely be used for 200,000 people for four or five days, and it can't be more."
"Then how many days will it take to walk from Ye Feng here?"
"Back to the Heavenly King, there are more than 300 miles away from Ye Feng Shaoshuo, and there are several rivers to cross, and pontoon bridges need to be built along the way, and the Xianjun and Zhijun warships have entered the inland river, even if the army arrives on the south bank of Ye Feng, it will not be able to cross the Biqing River."
When the words fell, Wang Tianshi and Gongsun Yue said:
"You're going to fight Ye Feng!"
"At this time, it is hopeless to save Peicheng, but it will be defeated by the heavy infantry of the Xian army in one fell swoop due to the lack of food and grass. If you go to attack Ye Feng, the main force of the Xian army is in Peicheng, and Ye Feng will inevitably be empty. But if you go to Ye Feng to repair the bridge for ten days, you won't be able to wait until you arrive at Ye Feng, and you will run out of food. Now it's a dilemma. ”
"Why don't you let General Zhou lead a fleet to carry troops back to Ye Feng and kill the Xian army by surprise."
"It's too late. It takes three or four days to go to the waterway. Even if we can capture Ye Feng, our army has run out of food, and it will take a few days to wait for the grain and grass to be transported, so where can the army wait in a hurry. Besides, if the Xian army is on guard on land and water in Yefeng, let alone 10,000 elite soldiers, how can it be captured by thousands of people. ”
"It's not going in, it's not going back, how is this good!"
