readx; Seven days later, on the east bank of the Yangtze River. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info outside the camp of the expeditionary force outside Yiling City, the cavalry cursed quietly, endured hunger, and led out war horses to look for forage by the river. For cavalry, the war horse is their life, people can starve, and horses must not lose fat.

In the camp, Li Dingguo, the general of Dingnan and Li Laiheng, the general of Pingnan, were also full of worries and paced aimlessly in the camp. Li Dingguo has been staring at the Yangtze River from the northeast for a long time, and he has always been resourceful, but now he seems quite helpless; Li Laiheng was so anxious that his face was flushed, and he walked back and forth a few times, but he couldn't help but stand up and roar urgently: "Brother Dingguo, it's not okay to go on like this!" The Holy Lord asked us to fight quickly, and we arrived at Yiling quickly enough, but because there was no military rations, the army had been trapped here for seven whole days, and all the time to drive out of the road was taken into it! I have been to several nearby counties these days, and they all said that there was no food, and only a few dozen stones were given when I was urged, which could only barely enough for the soldiers to have a day's rations! The two of us have bragged in front of the saint, if we don't enter the army again, Chengdu will fall, not to mention the saint's condemnation, I will have to wipe my neck! ”

"I don't want to rush into the army!" Li Dingguo sighed slightly and said, "But if you go further west from Yiling, you will enter the Xiajiang Road, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and it is inaccessible to people, so it is even more difficult to raise grain and grass." If you don't prepare enough food and grass for seven to ten days to force the army, I'm afraid that the whole army will collapse in less than three days, how can you and I explain to the saints! ”

"I'm a thief!" Li Laiheng suddenly scolded angrily, "Since our brother was in charge of the Qin soldiers, he first moved from Shaanxi to Hetao, and then traveled thousands of miles to attack Beijing, and the younger brother also went to Liaodong, where to fight is also happy, when did you suffer this kind of bird spirit!" Those dog officials in the prefectures and counties are full of fat and fat, and their stomachs are bigger than the mother-in-law who was pregnant in October, do you think he can run out of food? The devil believes! If they were Jurchens or Mongols, I would have robbed him of it! ”

"But they are also officials under the rule of the Holy Lord, and we can't make a mistake!" Li Dingguo said depressedly, "The will of the Holy God also showed them, they insisted that there is no food, we can't set up troops to loot, won't we become thieves?" The Holy One knows that He will never spare us! ”

"So what do you say?" Li Laiheng said angrily, "Why don't we inquire if there are any bandit cottages around here, and kill a few of them, won't there be grain and grass?" ”

"It's too late." Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "We are not familiar with the place here, and it will take at least four or five days to delay from reconnaissance to attack. We don't have a lot of troops, so we can't take the lead..."

"Then just wait like this, and you can't wait for food and grass to come!" Li Laiheng was so angry that he sat on the ground.

Li Dingguo also smiled bitterly: "The situation here has already been passed on to the Holy Flying Pigeon, and it seems that we can only wait for the Holy Lord to make arrangements." I didn't expect you and I to act alone for the first time, and we would lose face to the saint..."

The two of them were worried, and suddenly a soldier from the guard company came in to report: "There is a scholar outside the camp who asks to see him, and he seems to be in a hurry." ”

"What scholar? Don't you see I'm annoying, take it away, go away! Li Laiheng said impatiently.

Li Dingguo waved his hand and said: "In the past few days, local officials have avoided us like a plague god, how can anyone take the initiative to visit?" When this man comes, he will have a saying. Let him in. ”

The soldier covered his mouth and smiled: "Two regimental commanders, if you see him, you have to go to the camp gate." ”

"What?" Li Laiheng was even more angry, "It's such a big shelf, we have to pick him up?" He really thought he was a green onion! Lao Tzu doesn't pee on his pot! ”

"No, Captain, you misunderstood." The warrior hurriedly said, "It's not that he has a big shelf, but his butt is worn out, and he can't take a step." According to his own words, he came from Jingshi. ”

Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng were startled at the same time, and hurriedly came to the camp gate, and sure enough, they saw a scholar lying prone in front of the camp gate, and a horse standing alone next to him, and the saddle was full of red bloodstains.

"Are the two of you General Dingnan and General Pingnan?" When the scholar saw someone coming, he barely supported his upper body, and just wanted to get up and bow his hand, but he was tortured again by a sharp pain and grinned his teeth, and he couldn't stand up.

Li Dingguo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I am Li Dingguo, he is Li Laiheng." Who are you? Are there any injuries on your body? ”

The scholar was immediately overjoyed and said: "Sure enough, it is two generals, please forgive the students for not being able to see the courtesy!" The student is Chen Tiangong, the director of the new science and technology department and the head of the military department, he is not afraid of the two jokes, the student has never ridden a horse for such a long time in the past, and this time he is in a hurry, and when he walks to Nanyang, both strands are worn out. If a student has a holy oracle with him, can he go to the Chinese military tent to speak? ”

Hearing that it was someone sent by the emperor, the second general was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the guard company to carry Chen Tiangong into the camp, and found a military doctor to apply gold medicine to him. At this time, the two of them had time to take a closer look, but seeing that Chen Tiangong was short and thin, his face was dark, although his legs were bloody, his eyes were full of firmness and wisdom, and they couldn't help but be in awe, and they clasped their fists together and said, "Dare to ask Lord Chen, what is the decree of the Holy Lord?" ”

Chen Tiangong couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "This edict is not for the two generals. The saint already knew that there was a shortage of food in the army, so the special students rushed to the army to praise the painting and solve the problem of food and grass. ”

This "praise painting" is the meaning of the staff officer, and it is not the same thing as supervising the army. Li Laiheng was joking, and when he saw that Chen Tiangong was not a civil servant, and he was here to assist the two of them, he grimaced and said, "But Lord Chen came over alone, and he didn't seem to bring grain and grass!" Could it be that Lord Chen can conjure tricks, can he conjure grain and grass? ”

Chen Tiangong also smiled and said, "Of course the trick students will not change. However, the students had a plan, as long as the two generals cooperated vigorously, they could raise a large amount of food. ”

Then he told the second general about the idea of borrowing grain from King Jing. When Li Laiheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Lord Chen is tall! We just stared at the government, but we forgot about this God of Wealth. Jingzhou is more than 100 miles away, and my light cavalry can fight back and forth in half a day. When the military rations are in hand, we will immediately set off and go to Chongqing! ”

Li Dingguo frowned and said: "King Jing is a royal family, we are just courtiers, go to find someone, can someone take care of it?" Even if Lord Chen has a holy oracle with him, if King Jing is like a local official, he presumes that there is no food, and we have no way at all. ”

Chen Tiangong lowered his voice and smiled: "The two generals can rest assured, wrap it up on the students." If King Jing refuses to borrow grain, he has no choice but to do this. ”

After hearing Chen Tiangong's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Dingguo's mouth, but Li Laiheng clapped his hands and laughed: "Scholars are amazing, Lord Chen's brain, I can't catch up!" ”
