Chapter 108: Coincidental
Naturally, there is no need to say much about the things on the martial arts field. The drills of horse warfare, infantry combat, formations, etc., were naturally nodded by Peng Feng and others, indicating that they recognized the training results of the Ningde battalion.
At this time, it was already getting late, and Shi Jian, the leader of the Ningde camp, and Mu Nanfeng, the leading deputy general, accompanied a group of Yongliang military and political officials into the camp tent to discuss some important matters.
"At present, Liangzhou's defense is still a little insufficient. It will take some time for the new recruits to be trained, and if we can't draw troops from other places to support us, I believe it won't be long before all the other passes will be breached. ”
Peng Feng was the first to speak, and there was a lot of worry in his eyes.
"Eight Sage Kings, why don't you give another commendation and ask Your Majesty to send troops to support here?"
Xia Chun, the king of the Eight Sages, was staring at the terrain model in the camp at this time, he looked at the trend of the Yinshan Mountain Range in front of him, and frowned: "Xiliang Pass is the most important, this place is not broken, even if other passes are defeated, Xirong is in vain." ”
After all, he has read the art of war, and he has also seen some scenes in the army, and he also has some understanding of the terrain of mountains and rivers. Therefore, what he said at this time was the nod of the generals. As Xia Chun said, the importance of Xiliangguan is absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Lord Wang, the most important thing now is not whether we can hold it, but whether we still have military rations. If there is no military rations, no matter how strong the army in Xiliangguan is, there is no way for us to continue to defend! ”
Stone Blade is not concerned with military issues, but with logistics. The Ningde camp is located in a transportation hub, where a large amount of military rations are also kept, in other words, the Ningde camp itself is a place for grain and grass hoarding in five passes.
As the war progressed day by day, the consumption of this military ration gradually increased. Not only the five passes are needed, but other large battalions will also come to transport grain.
"General Shi, you also know that this year's weather is too abnormal. After the spring famine, the relief grain of the imperial court was almost exhausted, and this year's sowing was not very good because of the chaotic season. The people in the state capitals everywhere only left the grain to grow, and there is no surplus food! ”
Xia Chun shook his head, indicating that he didn't have much to do with military rations.
"Now it seems that we can only draw excess old grain from the southeastern coastal provinces. But the problem will come out again, the food made of old grain is not delicious, I am afraid that it will be complained by the soldiers. ”
"That can't be helped, now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor......"
Peng Feng echoed, he also thought so. It's just that before his words fell, he was interrupted by someone from outside the camp: "Lord Wang, Qin Yi, the centurion of the first guard, the third and the second hundred, let the little one hand over this silk book to you." ”
The soldier's words made some of the people present laugh.
"What can a little centurion do that the prince needs to deal with?"
"However, then again, where do you seem to have heard this Qin Yi's name?"
In the tent, except for Mu Nanfeng, Shi Jian and Xia Chun, who did not laugh, the rest of the people were disdainful, and it could be said that they laughed unscrupulously.
"I once heard that at the literary meeting in Mozhen, this Qin Yi was famous, and he refuted some opinions in public. He is in favor of changing the law, this is very similar to you of the Eight Sages! ”
Peng Feng's laughter stopped, but he thought about it for a while, as if he had thought of something.
"Leave the silk book, you can retreat first!"
That silk book naturally went into the hands of Xia Chun, the king of the eight sages. However, he was a little surprised, or couldn't believe it: "What kind of person is this Qin Yi?" It coincides with the plan that this king has in mind? ”
On that silk letter, only a few sentences were written: If you want to get military rations, you need to send surprise troops out of Yin Mountain and attack Beihai County in Xirong.
Everyone understands that Beihai County is a place where Xirong hoards grain and grass, and Xia Chun's plan is very simple, that is, to go out of Yin Mountain and capture Beihai County in Xirong as an emergency source of grain and grass!
