Zheng Xiaohuan heard Shan'er ask about Lu Zheng's news, weighed it in his heart, and still didn't say anything about Lu Zheng's current situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info just told Shan'er that Lu Zheng had joined the army and was now fighting with the army.

Shan'er turned around and left, Zheng Xiaohuan called Qingqing and asked Qingqing to send some silver to Shan'er's house in a few days.

Not long after, the guests that the Lu family was going to entertain came, and the Lu family began to set up a banquet, which was not on the table for the time being.

..............................................................................................

Lu Zheng played with the white fox for a long time, and it was already late when he came back. Lu Zheng instructed Bloody Hand and Night Shadow to eat something and go to bed quickly, the steel bone white teeth took effect for a long time, and it was best not to do anything else during this period.

As for the white fox, Lu Zheng didn't plan to use steel-bone white fangs on her for the time being. Although this little girl is smart, she is mentally immature and must be graded slowly.

Lu Zheng returned to the courtyard where he was resting and found that Yelu Yali was already waiting for him.

Yelu Yali didn't sleep at night, waiting for Lu Zheng here, of course, there was something to find Lu Zheng.

At the beginning, Yelu Yali was embarrassed to say, but after Lu Zheng asked repeatedly, Yelu Yali told the truth.

It turns out that there is indeed a big problem that needs to be solved urgently. The real reason why the Liao State sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass this time was actually because every winter, the food and grass of the army of the Great Liao was a huge problem. In the past, it was okay and basically self-sufficient.

But since the frequent wars with the Jin State, grain and grass have once again become an extremely headache for the top level of the Liao State. So at the instigation of some ministers, Emperor Tianzuo moved the idea of fighting the grass valley again, so he sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass.

This time, nearly 50,000 horses came at once, and this man ate and chewed 100,000 mouths.

Fortunately, this time Alslen may have also considered this problem, so the horse did not bring more. Otherwise, the Mongol iron cavalry fought, and the warriors were each with two or three horses.

The grass is not too big a problem, the Liao country is on the grassland, and there are many hay reserves. But food is really a problem. Yelu Yali was helpless, so he came to discuss with Lu Zheng.

Although Lu Zheng has the art of war in hand, it is impossible to conjure food out of thin air in the winter, it is really not a family that knows the price of firewood and rice!

The grain and grass of 50,000 horses are all sent out by Liao, which is indeed not kind. After a long time, it is not Yelu Yali who came to find Lu Zheng, and it is estimated that Emperor Tianzuo should come in person.

As soon as Yelu Yali said this, Lu Zheng also began to have a headache. The Mongol army did not have a logistics force in warfare, and it has always been based on warfare or hunting.

But now there are too many people, and there are thousands of war wolves following, so how many people do you have to send to hunt? If you are not careful, you will encounter the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

Now it is not easy to start a war with the Jin Kingdom, and Lu Zheng, who has completed the Yan Wushu, has not yet figured it out, and he must not easily let his warriors take risks.

On paper, the reasoning of tactical theory, this kind of thing can only be an approximation. If you really fight, it is impossible for everything to come according to your reasoning.

In case there is a follow-up move after the Yan Wushu is completed, then the Tiefutu and the abducted horse will be fatal, and it is likely that the Mengliao army will be defeated.

Lu Zheng couldn't think of any other way after thinking about it, and finally Lu Zheng suddenly remembered a person, and this person still wanted to kill him. It seems that food can only be found from this man.

Lu Zheng frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Brother Yelu, I have thought of a way." ”

Yelu Yali was suddenly overjoyed and said, "What way? Tell me about it. ”

Lu Zheng sneered and said, "Didn't Li Qianshun want to kill me?" I haven't taught him how to be a man yet. This time, the food fell from him! ”

Yeluyali was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No! Brother Lu Zheng, no! Some time ago, my father was still thinking about forming an alliance with Western Xia, although there was no progress for the time being because of the affairs of Nanxian, but he couldn't turn around and fight! ”

"And it is absolutely impossible to start a war with Western Xia, now that the Jin Kingdom is already powerful, if we start a war with Western Xia again, then we will suffer from the enemy on our backs and seek our own death! And ......"

Lu Zheng waved his hand, interrupted Yelu Yali's speech, and said, "You also know that bullying Dahua lacks horses and has few cavalry. When he said that he would fight, he dared to go directly to Yanmen Pass, and when he said that Xixia was scared like this. ”

Yelu Yali was a little embarrassed by Lu Zheng's words, and wanted to explain, but he was speechless.

Lu Zheng looked at Yelu Yali's expression and said with a smile: "You are talking about Da Liao, not me, I don't need Da Liao to send troops." Brother Yelu, in the eyes of the Emperor of Western Xia, what do you say I am? ”

Yeluyali spoke: "Of course you are a great Chinese! No...... Wrong! If you want to fight Western Xia, you must bring Mongolian iron cavalry...... That ......"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Brother Yelu, even you can't figure it out, right? I'm going to fight Xixia, no matter how much Xixia thinks, he won't settle the account on your Da Liao! ”

Yelu Yali was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that Lu Zheng was not joking this time, Lu Zheng was ready to play really, and Lu Zheng really wanted to fight Xixia!

Yelu Yali was shocked in his heart, but he still thought of something inappropriate, and hurriedly spoke: "Lu Zheng! The cities of Western Xia are tall and strong, and your army is full of Mongol cavalry, and you are not good at attacking cities! How do you fight? If you attack by force, even if you take human lives, you will only have 50,000 people. Besides, such an elite and powerful cavalry, you take it to siege the city, this is simply an idiotic act! ”

Lu Zheng smiled evilly and said, "Who told you that I was going to attack the city?" Did I tell you that I was going to take the troops to fight? ”

Yelu Yali was stunned for a moment, and said: "If you don't bring troops to fight and capture a few cities, how can you get food?" ”

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "If I plan to destroy Western Xia, I will definitely lead troops to fight." But if you only need food, then there is no need to bring troops. Besides, starting a war because of personal grudges is not what I Lu Zheng did! ”

Yelu Yali listened a little confused, and didn't understand what Lu Zheng meant. Yelu Yali just wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but Lu Zheng spoke again.

Lu Zheng said slowly: "Brother Yelu, you don't have to worry about this. I won't go to war with Western Xia, I have my own way. Whoever provokes me, I will go to whomever I want. There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! ”

Seeing that Lu Zheng was reluctant to say more, Yelu Yali didn't want to ask again.

After a moment of silence, Yeluyali spoke, "In that case, then I won't say more, do you need my help?" ”

Lu Zheng glanced at Yelu Yali and said, "Brother Yelu, I won't tell you, I have actually regarded you two brothers as brothers for a long time. In war, there is no evil or justice, and there is no right or wrong. There are only eternal interests, the victors, the princes, and the losers. ”

Yelu Yali listened to Lu Zheng's words, and admired Lu Zheng's mind and insight in his heart, and couldn't help but nodded.

Lu Zheng continued: "Give me five days, and I will find a way to get food." All you need to help me is to take care of my fighters, and that's enough. ”

Yelu Yali nodded and said, "Brother Lu Zheng, in fact, the fifth brother also told me that we both like your character and personality very much, and we have long regarded you as a brother. Don't worry, it's no problem to hold on for another five days, you can leave this to me, your warriors, you won't go hungry! ”

Lu Zheng nodded, looked at the sky in the distance, and said to himself, "Emperor?" Hehe...... I just like to rob the emperor......"
