Chapter 32: The Grain and Grass Are Exhausted

The news of Lin Yi's change of command had just spread, and Song Ruoyu knew about it immediately.

At this time, in Song Ruoyu's camp, Song Ruoyu was having lunch, and before he had eaten two bites, he suddenly heard some noisy sounds outside the tent door, and then two people came in, it was Zhang Yao and He Yuan.

That Zhang Yao stepped in first, and when he saw Song Ruoyu, he laughed and said, "Sir, there is news from Lin Yi's army. ”

Song Ruoyu smiled slightly after hearing this, and was not curious, but looked at He Yuan.

Seeing that He Yuan was also looking at him with a smile on his face, he knew that it should be the news of the change of commander, and he didn't speak, but still had lunch as usual, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Yao's words.

Zhang Yao was originally very excited to come in and tell the good news to Mr., but now that he saw this appearance, he guessed in his heart that this gentleman had already known the news.

Zhang Yao couldn't figure it out, so he asked Song Ruoyu curiously: "Sir, could it be that you already knew that Lin Yi would be replaced by Huang Xiu?" After finishing speaking, he stared at Song Ruoyu with a look of hope, waiting for his answer.

Song Ruoyu saw Zhang Yao's appearance, and also shook his head and smiled: "I already knew about Lin Yi's change of commander, but I don't know what will happen, looking at the current situation, it's not too late." ”

After Zhang Yao heard this, his face was also full of incredulity, he paused, sighed and said to Song Ruoyu in admiration: "Mr.'s plan is really rare in the world, and the students admire it." ”

Song Ruoyu heard Zhang Yao's words, so he waved his hand to him and said, "Don't say any more compliments, let's think about how to deal with the tens of thousands of Liang troops in this Yancheng first." ”

He Yuan heard Song Ruoyu's words, thought for a while and then arched his hand: "Sir, now that Lin Yi has been replaced, that Huang Xiu is just a gentleman, not worth mentioning, our army can use the strategy of luring the enemy to make Huang Xiu and our army fight in the suburbs, in this way, our army's casualties are smaller, and the chances of victory are greater." ”

Zhang Yao heard He Yuan's words, but he snorted coldly, glanced at He Yuan, and then bowed his hand to Song Ruoyu and said: "Sir, now that Lin Yi has been transferred back to Jinling, Huang Xiu can't even compare to one-tenth of Lin Yi, and our army is attacking Yancheng, then it must be captured, if it is to lure Huang Xiu out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army, isn't it clear to the world that my Northern Jin Dynasty man is afraid of him Huang Xiu?" After finishing speaking, he sneered at He Yuan's point of view and was very disdainful.

Lin Yi looked at this Zhang Yao and He Yuan for a few moments, and was silent for a while, before he said slowly: "What Lord He said is reasonable, then Huang Xiu is not as good as Lin Yi, if Huang Xiu can be lured out of the city and fight with our army outside the city, it will be extremely beneficial to our army." ”

As soon as the words fell, Song Ruoyu saw that Zhang Yao opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, and he also pressed down with his hand to stop what Zhang Yao was about to say, and then continued: "However, what General Zhang said is also reasonable, our army has lost more than ten cities in a month, so we need to boost morale and use a big victory to restore confidence to the soldiers." ”

Zhang Yao heard Song Ruoyu's words, although he was affirming his suggestion, he was quite embarrassed, when this army was defeated in successive battles, it was when he was the commander-in-chief, thinking of this, he had to stand there and laugh, not knowing what to say.

Of course Song Ruoyu knew what Zhang Yao was thinking, seeing that Zhang Yao looked at a loss, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a little, and he smiled at Zhang Yao slightly: "General Zhang is too worried, I didn't say this to the general, please don't take it to heart." ”

Zhang Yao knew that Song Ruo treated him like a brother and took him to teach him experience all the year round, so he would definitely not deliberately say that he would be embarrassed by him.

Hearing Song Ruoyu's words now, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. said that he was laughing, how could he blame Mr. in the future?" ”

After hesitating for a while, he wondered again: "Then I don't know, what method can Mr. use to make Huang Xiu go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with our army and make Huang Xiu defeated?" ”

After Song Ruoyu finished speaking, when he was holding the dish with chopsticks, he suddenly heard Zhang Yao ask like this, paused, and then said in a low voice: "It's not up to us, it's up to you to save your life." ”

"A lifesaver?" After hearing this, Zhang Yao was confused for a while, and then suddenly realized.

"Sir, could it be that you're talking about the dark shadow?"

Song Ruoyu knew that this Zhang Yao would know sooner or later, so he smiled and said to Zhang Yao: "Yes, it won't be long before you can see him in person." ”

Zhang Yao was even more curious about the identity of this black shadow, such a peerless archery technique aside, but now that he heard it, he had to rely on his means to draw out this Huang Xiu, and he was even more surprised, that is, he couldn't hold his mouth and immediately wanted to ask something.

Before he could speak, Song Ruoyu waved his hand and explained to Zhang Yao: "You will always know." ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned his head to Na He Yuan and asked, "Is Ding Cai's side ready?" ”

When He Yuan heard this, he replied respectfully: "Everything is already in order. ”

When Song Ruoyu heard this, he nodded. Immediately, without waiting for Zhang Yao and He Yuan, he began to eat lunch by himself, glancing at them with his eyes while eating.

I saw that the two of them were also staying where they were, and they didn't know what to do, so they could only stare at themselves and eat.

smiled in his heart, and then proposed: "Why don't we eat together?" ”

He Yuan was about to give up, but before he could speak, Zhang Yao next to him immediately interjected: "Okay, sir, I can't wait." ”

Regardless of the reason, he sat down on the high hall, like a refugee who hadn't eaten for a few days.

When Song Ruoyu saw it, he also smiled, and ordered He Yuan: "Let them add two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”

He Yuan smiled heartily, and went out to ask the Huotou Army to add a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

Inside the big tent, there is a happy appearance, which makes people fascinated.

-----------------

It is said that after Huang Xiu took over Lin Yi's position, he began to focus on arranging the offensive and defensive battles of Yancheng, although he had no actual combat experience, but he also knew that this Song Ruoyu would definitely try his best to recapture Yancheng, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, and he was very serious about this battle.

He wants to prove to the world that he is not a gentleman in the eyes of the world; He wants to prove that he will do a better job than the golden gun Hou Lin Yi; He also has to prove that Mr. Panlong is not such a god in the world, and he can defeat him.

This is the first time that Huang Xiu has led the army to fight such a large-scale war alone, and it is also a great opportunity for Huang Xiu to become famous in one battle, so Huang Xiu must not let go of such an opportunity.

At this time, Huang Xiu was on the tower of Yancheng City, carefully checking the patrol status of the soldiers, and by the way, he looked at the majestic company camp of Song Ruoyu in the distance.

I saw that Song Ruoyu's company camp was lined up, stretching for more than dozens of miles, and the battle was quite large, which made people sigh.

This Huang Xiu looked at it, and suddenly heard panicked footsteps under the city tower, and then saw a military general hurriedly climb up the city tower, and saw him rush over as if he had lost his soul.

When Huang Xiu saw this general's appearance, he was immediately a little annoyed, this panicked, what kind of system did he become, and then he complained to the general with a sullen face: "What happened, why are you so flustered?" ”

The general saw that Huang Xiu seemed to be quite dissatisfied with him, although he had no choice but to give up, because he had more important military information to report to this Huang Xiu.

I saw that the general said in a panic: "General Qiyu, the city ...... There is no food and grass in the city...... insufficient, may have to maintain ...... It's been a few days. ”

After hearing this, Huang Xiu was shocked, and immediately raised his tone, and roared angrily at the general: "What? There is not enough grain and grass, but I heard that there is enough grain and grass in this Yancheng, why is there not enough food and grass in a war? ”

The general immediately replied: "General, when we attacked this salt city, we also found out that there was indeed enough grain and grass in this city, but I don't know why this happened. Just now, the last general led a team of men and horses to count the granary, but found that the grain and grass were already stretched. ”

Huang Xiu was also a little flustered when he heard the general's words, and muttered: "Could it be that the information is wrong, there is not much grain and grass in this Yancheng?" ”

When the general heard this, he immediately calmed down, and replied calmly: "It shouldn't be like this, the news of our army should not be wrong, our spies have found that the grain and grass in Yancheng City are enough to support half a year, and it can't be wrong." ”

When Huang Xiu heard this, he didn't know what to do, so he looked at the general with a pleading look, expecting him to give him an idea.

The general didn't understand what this Huang Xiu meant at first, he was stunned, and after meeting Huang Xiu's eyes, he vaguely guessed that this should be his own idea.

So he paused, cleared his throat and replied: "General Qiyu, the current situation is that our army should engage the Jin army as soon as possible, in order to achieve a quick victory, and must not delay until our army runs out of food and grass. ”

When Lin Yi led the army to attack the city in the starry night, he was a little negligent, that is, the army of grain and grass was still hoarding in the original camp, and he didn't expect that there would be no grain and grass in this Yancheng, but he just hoped to capture Yancheng as soon as possible, thinking that with Yancheng, there would be security, and the grain and grass would naturally not be a problem, but now it is difficult to do.

Why is the grain and grass in Yancheng gone? Or is it really all wrong information?

The soldier couldn't figure it out.

Huang Xiu didn't care about this stubble, and when he learned that he should fight quickly, Huang Xiu nodded violently, and then instructed the army: "The army is ready, go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”
