Chapter 382: Carry out the cruelty to the end
"Lord, we don't have much dry food in the car now, and we urgently need to replenish it." Zhang Yan stood up and reported to Lu Peng.
Ever since the army of Bunton began to pursue him, Lu Peng had warned the merchant team that had followed him that the situation had changed and that he had to fight guerrilla warfare on this grassland, so the merchant team would be in a very dangerous situation, and it would be difficult to keep up with his own footsteps.
The merchants also knew about this situation, the Han army of less than 20,000, in the face of the 150,000 fierce and oppressive grassland coalition army, if these merchants followed the army insatiably, not only could not help, but became a burden.
At the same time, after nearly two months of looting, the merchants have made a lot of money. It is necessary to make money, but if you don't have your life to spend it, then everything is empty, this time everyone is already satisfied, and you can go back and enjoy the profits that you can't make in more than ten or 2o years this time.
As a result, without the merchant following, Lu Peng's army began to become difficult, first the salt and spices were about to run out, and the fishy mutton was without this thing, and it was difficult to swallow.
Originally, when the weather was warm, you could dig up some wild vegetables everywhere to improve the taste, but as the autumn gets deeper and deeper, the grass and wild vegetables begin to turn yellow, and there are no wild vegetables that can hardly improve the taste.
Another point is that with nearly two months of looting and slaughtering, there are almost no lonely tribes to be found in this grassland, there are no cattle and sheep to replenish, and the jerky that was originally stored on the chariot is almost eaten and drunk.
"Putting the Jinyi Guard into the distance, we must find a medium-sized tribe and carry out the necessary supplies, otherwise hunger will force us to abandon our efforts." Lu Peng put on his equipment and commanded Xu Jie.
Now the most tired in this section is those brocade guards, they are reconnoitring the enemy for the army day and night, and they can't rest at all, and now the thousand brocade guards who came with the army, after two months of running around and fighting, the battle damage has reached half, which is quite painful for Xu Jie, that is one in a thousand elites. However, this is not the time for physical pain, and you must grit your teeth to get through this difficult time.
Nodding his hand, he called his most elite Li Erye and the two: "You don't want to rest anymore, go out immediately, your purpose this time is to find a supply tribe for the army, as long as you complete this task, I will give you a promotion." ”
Li Er smiled: "Lord Commander, for our brothers who are close to 20,000 to eat a full stomach, eat fresh meat, and drink milk tea, there is no need to upgrade or not." Then he sorted out his weapons and equipment, turned over his horse, and walked away so highly.
The soldiers of the Lu family army are fundamentally different from the soldiers of other warlords, and Lu Peng's declaration of dialogue outside Youzhou has become the spiritual pillar of all soldiers and soldiers, and has become the soul of the entire army and the entire people.
With their own unique soul, the army has become a strong army that cannot be defeated or dragged down, although they are in danger, although they are tired from a hundred battles, they are still high-spirited.
At this time, Xu Jie raised a doubt: "Now that the enemy has all retreated into the royal court except for the army chasing behind us, our supply will become more and more difficult, can we just keep holding on?" ”
The population in the royal court must be large, and it is not at all something that his own 20,000 horses can shake, and now the original war of looting has turned into mutual consumption.
Lu Peng looked at the sky that was gradually brightening, and said in a sentence: "Consume, this time we have six horses in a chariot, and the soldiers on the wolf ride are also one person and three horses, and when we finish eating the mutton jerky, we will kill the horses pulling the cart, and when we kill all the horses pulling the cart, we will kill the wolf and ride the extra horses, anyway, we will consume it like this." ”
may be the reason for the loneliness of the grassland, and now the people in the whole team have become neurotic, and they are obviously divided into two factions in their mouths, one faction is becoming more and more silent, and the other faction, like Lu Peng, has become chattering mother-in-law.
"I'm asking you what to do next, not preparing to listen to your mother-in-law." For Lu Peng's more and more mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Xu Jie has no respect and humility, and expresses great impatience.
"Wasn't that what I'm telling you?" Lu Hanqiang spread his hands, and then said indifferently: "When I was with your mother-in-law, in fact, my strategic goal went one step further. ”
"What's the reasoning?" Xu Jie began to not understand the meaning of Lu Peng's words, it may be that this empty grassland makes people lonely, and because of loneliness, people's heads begin to react slowly.
"We are just wandering around on this grassland, swearing our existence and brushing our sense of existence." Lu Peng looked at the soldiers who were arranging their equipment and eating urgently.
Xu Jie muttered dissatisfiedly: "What's the use of brushing a sense of existence?" There are hundreds of thousands of troops chasing behind us, and the fish that have slipped through the net cannot fill our supplies, and the big tribe, we are afraid that he will entangle us and cannot get out, in fact, we are really in a dilemma now. It's no longer as good as when we were able to guerrilla sneak attacks, and it was easy to do three lights. ”
"Wrong." Lu Peng firmly rejected Xu Jie's judgment. "We are difficult, but in fact, the Wuhuan people are even more difficult, and the lack of materials in the grassland is so scarce that people dare not rob us Han at this time." Then the eyes of the thief lit up: "The royal court is in Mo Nan, does Mo Nan know?" The weather is colder, water is more scarce, and the small tribe can also rely on the vast area to survive the winter, just like this, as far as I know, a large number of cattle and sheep must be slaughtered, leaving only the breeding sheep to wait for the spring to reproduce again to survive the winter, but the big tribe is difficult, every winter, according to the convention, they will disperse the large tribe into countless small tribes, scattered to a wider grassland to spend the winter, but because of our existence, our three-light policy, so that these herdsmen who should have been scattered to various places to spend the winter, We have to gather together to avoid slaughter, so that the water is insufficient, the pastures are narrow, the materials are scarce, and they don't need to slaughter cattle and sheep to reduce the population, even if they starve, they can starve most of the cattle and sheep to death. You must know that the grassland is so vast that you can't imagine it, and now with less than 20,000 men and horses in our world, if you want to slaughter and weaken them, even if you run, you can run to death us, so let them weaken themselves. ”
Xu Jie opened his mouth for a long time, and then the theory was combined with reality: "Isn't this the way to drive people into the city and then surround them as mentioned in the book of war?" ”
Lu Peng clapped his hands and said: "It is this reason, if a strong city cannot be attacked for a long time, it will drive the surrounding people into the city, and then let these refugees consume the food and grass materials in the city, and finally, starve the whole city to death." In the grassland, I will continue to exist here, declaring that my three-light policy has not been abandoned, driven by fear and survival instincts, let them cower in a ball, haha, I am really looking forward to what a spectacular scene of cannibalism when we arrive at the royal court. ”
Xu Jie tried to take a step back, then two steps, hesitated, and took another step back. "My lord, that was the most tragic end. I can see it now, I pride myself on being psychologically dark, but compared to you, it's really a small thing. Then he said with a sad face: "I really have a bad conscience when such a tragic situation appears under our hands." ”
Lu Peng was not ashamed, but waved his hand proudly: "Don't mention your conscience to me, don't mention your conscience to me in the grassland, in the territory of the enemy country, my conscience is for my mother, not for the enemy." My aim is to use all means, unscrupulous, extremely shameless, and frenzied to weaken the enemies of my mother's people, so that my mother's people can be at peace, nothing more. Then he said with regret: "It's a pity, with my current strength, I can't drive them all to Europe like Huo Quai, otherwise, I am the hero in my heart, and I am full of worship for myself." ”
People can be narcissistic, but narcissism to this extent has really reached the point of peak.
So the soldiers who lay on the ground around them.
