The next morning, when the army had not yet gotten up, the third brother ran in in a panic, panting and shouting:

"Ruo Xiao, hurry, the surname Lan has run away!"

Shen Ruoxiao walked in front of him. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "Oh? How? ”

The third brother said: "I just saw him riding a horse alone, running out of the camp, and going straight to the west." Didn't you go to the king of Yan? Brother, what's wrong with you, why didn't you react? ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled and said, "Third brother, thank you; Don't worry, I asked him to go to Yan Ying to write a book, and explain to King Yan that I want to exchange hostages. ”

“…… It's true? Why let him go? Don't you look down on him? ”

Shen Ruoyu shrugged his shoulders: "That's why I sent him." If King Yan agrees to exchange and let him come back, then I can exchange it for my mother. If the king of Yan does not agree, and angers the messenger, then I will remove one of the affected ears. I've benefited both, so why not. ”

"You ......," the third brother looked at him in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious and vicious." ”

"How is Sister Li Rang? I'll let you watch over it carefully, and don't make the slightest mistake. ”

The third brother said: "You can rest assured; Will be ordered, who dares to disobey. How to solve the problem of food and grass? ”

Shen Ruoyu glanced at him sternly: "It's not your turn to ask, right?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll be hungry, can't I?"

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it, and I'll send people to the surrounding counties to borrow food later, and I won't let the army run out of food."

“…… Surrounding counties? Why not go to Texas? There is a lot of grain in Texas; How much food can you ask for in the surrounding counties? ”

"This year's bumper harvest in Shandong, how can I borrow a lot. It's not that I haven't thought about Texas, but the Yan army is coming, and Texas is far away, so it's hard to guarantee that the Yan soldiers won't rob the grain halfway. In contrast, Guanxian, Shenxian, Yanggu, Dong'e, Chiping, and Gaotang are all within easy reach, and it is relatively safer to transport grain. Moreover, so many places add up, there is always more food than one place in Texas. ”

The third brother stopped talking and went out.

Shen Ruoyu sent six grain envoys to the surrounding counties in the afternoon of the same day. The generals had their own criticisms, and they all said that they should go to Texas to ask for food. Shen Ruoyu ignored it.

On November 17, Luo cavalry came to report that the Yan army was divided into 150,000 led by the Yan prince, crossed the river from Guantao, and attacked Guanxian.

Shen Ruoyu received the report, and immediately ordered the armies, reiterating the military order, the generals of all armies are on standby here, and they are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. Then, he returned to his tent and asked He Fu to block the arrow for him, and refused to discuss the matter.

Battle reports came one after another: on the 18th, Yan generals Wang Zhen and Wang Cong led 150,000 people from Linqing to take Gaotang in the east; After a little resistance, the guards of the Gao Tang Dynasty surrendered Kaicheng. On the 19th, the 150,000 Yan troops who had previously taken Guanxian continued to move south under the leadership of King Yan and attacked Shen County. On the 20th, Wang Zhen and Wang Cong's army arrived at Chiping, and Chiping looked at the wind to welcome the surrender.

Shen Ruoyu had been hiding in the camp for several days and was unwilling to discuss matters, and gradually this hiding became more and more difficult. On the 22nd, he was desperate and hid in the city of Dongchang. The latest battle report was sent at this time: Wang Zhen and Wang Cong went all the way to the city of Dong'e, and Dong'e had surrendered without a fight.

"Where is the Yan Army now?" Shen Ruoyu was on the west city wall with Yuan Yu, and asked after receiving the report.

He replied, "I have passed the Yang Valley and gone south." ”

"Lan Zhengke is back?"

He replied, "No news yet." ”

Shen Ruoyu waved his hand to let Luo Qi leave, and then paced to the edge of the city wall and leaned leisurely on the entrance of the female wall.

Yuan Yu said: "General Zuo, the counties have surrendered to the enemy, seeing that our army has fallen into the encirclement of the Yan army, and the grain and grass are hopeless, what does the general want to do?" If you want the last general to say, let's go to Texas and Jinan to ask for food. It's the end of the road. ”

Shen Ruoyu leaned over and looked down, and the neat camp of 200,000 troops was displayed under the city like a chessboard, extending far away, and the southwest side extended to the river.

He smiled and said, "General Yuan, don't worry, just defend the city." ”

"General Zuo seems to have too much to hide from us, when are you going to let us know the details?" Yuan Yu asked incredulously.

Shen Ruoyu stared intently at the camp below, pondering something, and only said, "Soon, soon." ”

On the 25th, the war horse reported again: The 150,000 elite soldiers led by King Yan went all the way south and captured Dongping. Wang Zhen and Wang Cong marched all the way to the army, and they were still stationed in Dong'e City.

Chu Zhi chased him to Shen Ruo's tent and was in a hurry:

"General Zuo, King Yan has already pulled out the surrounding counties and cut off my grain routes, and now he is not here to fight at all, bypassing us and going south directly, because he wants to trap my 200,000 troops here; If he continues to fight all the way south, he will hit Jining. How long does the general plan to stay still? ”

Shen Ruoyu shook his head and smiled: "It's okay; The general went to rest. ”

"Okay? What should I do with my army's food and grass? Chu Zhi was shocked and angry.

Shen Ruoyu said: "General Chu, I have made it clear that I have my own way to not let the army cut off." The general Shao'an is not impatient. ”

"What method did General Zuo use, expecting grain and grass to fall from the sky? Before, people were sent to the counties to urge grain, but now the counties are in the hands of the Yan army! General Zuo only needed to say a word, and I, Chu Zhi, immediately went to Texas to ask the general for food, why did he refuse? ”

Shen Ruoliao stood up: "General Chu, I, Shen Ruoliao, have ordered the only two." The autumn wind is still standing at the gate of the camp, and if the general wants to try his sword, please do it yourself. ”

Chu Zhi said: "If it weren't for General Zuo's general order, I would have gone a long time ago." General Zuo, the vanguard army has already been sent out, why stop me from going to Texas to ask for food? ”

Shen Ruoyu no longer answered—he actually had nothing to answer unless he confided the truth; This is something he would never dare to do at this time. He just glanced at Chu Zhi and didn't make a sound.

Chu Zhi saw that look in his eyes and understood that it was useless to fight any longer, so he had to sigh, stomp his feet, and turned around and walked out of the big tent. Outside the tent, the sound of him gritting his teeth was heard:

"My 200,000,000 troops will die here! It's worse than the Baigou River! ”

On the afternoon of the 27th, the grain officer came to report that the basic food in the army was exhausted. If there is no food and grass before the 30th day, the army will have nothing to eat. In the afternoon, Luo cavalry reported that the 150,000 Yan soldiers led by the king of Yan had fallen into Wenshang, and the edge was directed at Jining. Wang Zhen and Wang Cong remained in Dong'e and did not move.

Even He Fu finally couldn't sit still at this time and found Shen Ruoliao's account.

"General Shen, I don't ask anything else, I believe the general has his own arrangements; But this grain and grass, He Fu really can't help but ask. In two more days, the food will be completely exhausted. The camp is now full of panic, and rumors are rife that General Shen is a mediocre and incompetent person who will trap all 200,000 troops here sooner or later. This army is so heartfelt, we can't fight! ”

Shen Ruoxiao was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and said, "General He, if the army runs out of food, I won't have anything to eat, how can I not plan for this?" The general looks up to the junior so much, he has patiently indulged me for twenty days, so wait two more days, right? ”

He Fu said sincerely: "General Shen, it's not that I can't afford to wait for these two days, it's just a matter of grain and grass, and the soldiers are heavier than the sky." General Shen has unspeakable secrets, and He Fu understands in his heart; I am here to show General Shen that the general is useful to He Fu, please give an order, He Fu is cautious, and he will definitely live up to the general's trust. ”

When Shen Ruoyu heard this, he instinctively stood up and said with sincere fear:

"General He, it's serious. In the danger of food and grass, I have any plans, and I will not wait until now to act. General He was sincere, which made the younger generation ashamed. Please also ask the general to relax and go back to rest. The movements of the soldiers have to be observed by the general and beware of changes. I hope I can survive these two days in peace. ”

After He Fu left, Shen Ruoliao completely closed the account and thanked the guests. He was also afraid to see the angry and suspicious eyes of the soldiers, and he really couldn't defend himself, and if he didn't get it, he would throw the rotten vegetables and leaves on his head.

On the 28th, the scout cavalry reported that King Yan had sent a small number of cavalry to the south, and Jining was in an emergency. Zhong Kexi stopped outside the tent and insisted that the angry generals would not be allowed to enter to crusade against Shen Ruoyu. The angry Zhuang De simply shouted and cursed outside the tent.

Shen Ruoyu could hear it clearly in the tent, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head. Hearing Zhuang De's scolding getting worse and worse, suddenly the whole camp also became commotion, and there was an earth-shaking noise outside. Shen Ruoyu was taken aback, and instinctively picked up Shang Fang's sword-Qiu Feng was still at the gate of the camp, and the only weapon beside him was this Shang Fang's sword-only Dao Zhuang had to lead 200,000 troops to rebel together, and he was immediately worried about his life. Unexpectedly, there was a loud laugh from outside the tent, and the laughter of countless soldiers shook the world, and the sound was full of ecstasy.

He was even more surprised, stood for a moment, lifted the curtain, and walked out, still nervously holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand.

There was a chaotic jubilation in the camp, like a village after the first rain of a decade of drought, and everywhere there was a mess left behind by ecstasy. There was no sign of the generals in front of the camp, and countless soldiers were desperately rushing towards the outside of the camp, and no one noticed Shen Ruoyu standing there for a while.

He was shocked, and he didn't know what could make the 200,000 troops who had strictly obeyed the military order for a month rush out of the camp at this moment, regardless of the disaster of killing. He reached out and grabbed a soldier and asked sternly:

"What's wrong? What to do? ”

But the soldier grabbed him and shouted excitedly: "General, go away, it's food and grass!" Texas' grain and grass are here!! ”

When Shen Ruoyu heard this, one of the many hanging stones in his heart fell to the bottom, but he didn't feel the slightest surprise. Originally, he planned all this, and everything was just as it should be. He was only slightly relieved, and ran with the soldier out of the camp.

When they arrived outside the gate of the camp, all the generals were there, and when the grain officer saw Shen Ruoxiao, he immediately saluted:

"General Yuzuo! All the grain and grass needed by General Zuo have been transported; Along the way, not a single soldier of the Yan army was encountered. The grain and grass are all prepared according to the requirements of General Zuo's letter, and they are all new grain in the warehouse, and the points are exactly the same, please General Zuo check it. ”

Shen Ruoyu asked, "How is the general's injury?" Is there a letter? ”

The grain officer was expressionless: "The general is still recuperating from his wounds, and he ordered all the armies to be ordered, saying that all affairs of the army are under the orders of General Zuo." ”

"Why don't you hurry up and escort the grain cart into the camp, but stop at the gate?"

The grain officer looked up, but glanced at He Fu. He Fu understood and said with a smile:

"There is General Shen's sword at the camp gate, who dares to trespass without permission?"

Shen Ruoyu was slightly stunned, and his face turned red at first. He glanced coldly at the generals and the soldiers around him.

"Don't dare to trespass, but dare to trespass? Do you all want to be punished for the hard work of carrying grain bags? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle himself. He immediately straightened his face again, but the generals were already laughing, and the happy soldiers around him also laughed. Shen Ruoyu relaxed, ordered the grain cart to be taken into the camp immediately, and ordered the grain officer in the camp to immediately carefully count and inspect all the grain and grass, check the grain book, and report it to him. When the order was issued, he turned around and walked back to the middle of the camp gate, pulled out the autumn wind, and made way out of the camp gate.

The grain cart entered the camp. The grain officer immediately began to check it, and soon reported that it had been checked, and the grain book was exactly right.

The generals returned to the Chinese army's tent with Shen Ruoliao. The atmosphere was not at all as tense as a few days ago, making Shen Ruoyu just want to escape.

Zhuang De apologized as soon as he opened his mouth: "General Zuo did have an arrangement!" Zhuang is more disrespectful, and I hope that the general will not be like me. It's just that General Zuo is really not kind enough, he obviously went to Texas to ask for food, but he didn't let us know, and he also borrowed grain from the surrounding counties in a false way, and it was a pretense for a long time, but it still made the big guys anxious. It's no wonder that Zhuang is rude. ”

He Fu smiled: "I said Commander Zhuang, did you apologize like this?" In the end, is it still the fault of General Zuo? ”

Chu Zhi said: "General Zuo has some other arrangements, why don't you tell the generals earlier, we also have a good heart, and the army will not be panicked." Until now, General Zuo still can't believe me? ”

Chen Hui said: "The Yan army has captured Zhuxian County, and it has become an encirclement of us, and now it is heading towards Jining, I think General Shen must have a countermeasure, I don't know if I can tell you?" ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled lightly and shook his head: "No hurry, no hurry; I haven't enjoyed it yet, so how can I give up so early? Two more days, two more days. ”

Zhuang De shouted: "Does General Shen look down on us?" The general has done everything quietly, and we have all become dry eaters? ”

Shen Ruoyu couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand again and again: "Commander Zhuang, half an hour ago, I thought that you were going to lead the soldiers to mutiny and cut me to make up for my salary, so scared that I didn't dare to let go of Shang Fang's sword." I have the courage to look down on the general, and I don't dare to dare to dare it. ”

Chen Hui said: "General Shen, what should we do next?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "King Yan is still in Wenshang; I expect that the Yan army of Dong'a will join forces with the king of Yan sooner or later, and before that, they will not dare to attack easily. For now, you still have to hold your guard and wait for the news of the slippery. ”

The generals did not say any more provocations this time.

Shen Ruoyu returned to his tent, and Zhong Kexi brought dinner. It's getting late; The third brother in the tent is sprinkling and sweeping. Shen Ruoyu looked at the two of them and said:

"The food and grass are coming, the army is jubilant, and the soldiers must be too energetic in the past two days. Both of you are not good at martial arts, and it is definitely not enough to guard Li Rang's sister alone. From this day forward, another team of ten men will be sent to guard outside her tent day and night, and no one will be allowed to enter. These ten people change every day, and I personally choose the points. During the day, the two of you also took turns guarding the outside of the tent according to the previous arrangement, in case Li Rang's sister needed it; You don't have to go at night, the third brother sleeps in my tent and listens at any time, and Zhong Kexi is outside to do what you have to do. ”

The third brother complained: "You know how to call me. ”

Shen Ruoyu glanced at him coldly, he didn't dare to say more, glanced at Zhong Kexi, bowed his head and said:

"Yes, General."

Shen Ruoyu ate two bites of dinner, and his mood began to feel uneasy again.

There was only one piece of the hanging stone in the chest, and it was just one piece.

Gu Shenyu lived up to expectations and has completed all key tasks; Where is he now? What the hell is going on? And in the end, when will you come back?
