Sending Si Qikong away, Ling Xia called Mo Wanming, Qin Qihuai, Qian Xiaozhong, and Kuang Qianfu to him, and asked them about the materials and food reserves of each legion.

Now the food carried by the entire group army is only enough to last for two days, two days later, the soldiers will be hungry, and the war horses will be scrapped because there is no forage, and what is even worse is that it is now close to autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers are still wearing single clothes at the moment, but there are no cotton clothes, quilts and other cold items in the reserve warehouse of the troops, and the soldiers are still wearing single clothes at this moment.

After listening to Mo Wanming's story, Ling Xia suddenly began to scratch his head, he thought that the lack of soldiers in the army was the most headache, but he didn't expect that even the food, grass and equipment were so embarrassed, with a weed in the corner of his mouth, he squatted on the ground and was silent for a while, suddenly, Ling Xia spit out the weeds in his mouth, and said in a loud voice: "Get food first, solve the problem of stomach food, and then go get clothes." ”

"Get food? How to do it? Mo Wanming and the others looked at Ling Xia suspiciously.

"Although we are now forced into such a corner by the rebels, but on the other hand, we also have advantages, such as those occupied by the rebels, after the rebels capture the city, the first thing they do is to send garrisons, imprison and imprison the original officials and servants, and replace the yamen at all levels with their people, and then they will hoard supplies on the spot to support the garrison supplies."

Speaking of this, Ling Xia showed a knowing smile on his face, and then, he said an earth-shattering sentence: "Let's go to those cities occupied by the rebels to grab grain, before coming here to take up my post, I lurked in the Purple Turban Army camp for a while, with my understanding of the Purple Turban Army system, most of the Yamen at the level of the rebel army have grain depots and material depots, let's go there to rob them." ”

"Grab the grain depots and material depots in the garrisons of the occupied areas? This...... Somewhat adventurous, right? After listening to Ling Xia's suggestion, Mo Wanming shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, this is too dangerous, now it's too late for us to hide from the rebels, how dare we take the initiative to send it to the door?" Once we are entangled in the rebel forces, the soldiers will surely die, no, I don't agree to do this. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you hit a stone with an egg." After speaking, Ling Xia smiled confidently: "Win Qiankun has a characteristic, he is used to gathering the main force around him, he has just experienced attrition before, and he must be personally training those newly replenished troops at this moment, and this is our opportunity to do it, our goal is the station of the outer government." ”

Seeing that after he finished explaining, Mo Wanming and the others were still a little worried, Ling Xia had to deploy military orders as the marshal of the war zone, he quietly arranged it for everyone, and after everyone understood, he asked everyone to go back and prepare, two hours later, the ten legions of the Fifth Army marched in five different directions, and Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er followed the first legion forward.

Three days later, a piece of news came that shocked the 10th Theater of Operations, that the province of Piyue, which had just fallen to the 10th Corps of the rebels, was attacked by the Fifth Army of the War Guards.

It is understood that the stolen materials were originally used to support the Third Army of the Fifth Corps, and the supply of grain and grass for a full month has now been taken away by the battle guards.
