Although Gao Jianwu and Buzhi Nude blocked the news, many people still knew the news of the army's food cutoff. All kinds of gossip spread throughout the army: "The army has run out of food!" ”

"There are only seven days' food left in the army!"

"Who said that, I heard that there are only three days of food left!"

"I heard that the grain delivered was intercepted by the Sui army halfway in Daliangshui, and all the grain was burned in a fire, and all the people who delivered the grain were killed by the Sui army." Another soldier mysteriously said.

"Impossible, all the Sui troops are surrounded by us in Liaodong City, will they still grow wings and fly to Daliangshui to rob grain?" "Oh my God, what then? If there is no food, then we are not going to starve to death? ”

But no matter how it spreads, no one believes that there is only one day's food left in the army.

Because everyone thinks that this is impossible, if there is really only one day's food left, then why was there no rumor before? And how could the marshal and the prince let the army cut off food and not think of a way to solve it? So it seemed to them that maybe there were only three or seven days of food and grass left in the army, which sounded a little believable.

The entire Liao army camp was full of people, and everyone began to believe that the army was really going to run out of food. From time to time, groups of soldiers sneaked to the logistics camp, trying to steal some food from it. But at this time, the logistics battalion had already been surrounded by Gao Jianwu's guards, and even ants couldn't get in, let alone them.

Rumors spread in the camp, people's hearts fluctuated, and some soldiers began to flee for fear of starvation. In just one morning, the soldiers on duty had already caught the deserters, some of them fled alone, and some even a dozen people fled together with weapons.

Gao Jianwu mercilessly ordered that all the soldiers who escaped were publicly executed, and also sent additional manpower to supervise the army, and anyone who dared to spread rumors would be killed on the spot. Countless heads fell to the ground, and for a while, the entire camp was even more panicked.

Knowing these circumstances, the mòhé, murowe,

The Ji family couldn't sit still. When they came, they only brought food on the road, and after arriving in Liaodong, all the logistics and food supplies were all taken care of by the Goguryeo people. Now there are only two or three days' food left in the various battalions, and if this army really runs out of food, then they will be finished.

Feeling that the situation was serious, Tie Anda and others hurriedly rushed to Liuhe City together to ask Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu for food. If Gao Jianwu gives food, then it means that the rumors are false, so they will continue to sit on the mountain here and watch the tiger fight. But if the Goguryeo people don't give food, it must mean that Goguryeo is really out of food, so it is impossible for them to sit here and wait to starve to death anyway.

In Yizhi Wende's handsome tent, after getting the intention of the three of them, Gao Jianwu received them very happily.

Without the slightest concealment, Ban Jianwu said very frankly, "The army is indeed running out of food now, as rumored." Moreover, it is not rumored that there is still three or five grains, but only one day's food is left. By tomorrow, the whole army will have nothing to eat! It was like a thunderclap that shook the three of Fuyu Zhang, and no one thought that things had come to this point.

Tie An stood up with a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to walk out, Gao Jianwu was stunned for a moment, "Where is General Tie going?" Tie An replied, turned to look at Gao Jianwu, and said with a sneer: "Where can you go back to the grassland." The army has run out of food, do you want my 8,000 warriors to starve to death here with me? Otoshi Wende snorted, "I just don't know how much grain General Tie still has in his hands?" It's not close to the prairie here, but I'm afraid you can only starve to death on the way? If you can't conjure up food, then Ben Shuai advises you to sit down and listen to Ben Shuai's opinion. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Tie An finally threw off his cloak and walked back, he sat down, twisted his head to the side, and said coldly, "I want to hear it, what spell do you have to conjure up 300,000 people's food at once!" "It's true that I can't make food, but there is a place in eastern Liaodong where there is food, and the grain there is not only enough for 300,000 people, but even for 30,000 people to eat for a year and a half.

Now, there's that food there, waiting for us to get it! Otochi sat upright and smiled softly.

When Ji Fu Yuzhang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where?" Where is there so much food, how do I not know? The people of Mòhé and Murowei were all cavalry, and even if they ran out of food, they might be able to persist in returning to their respective tribes, but the soldiers and horses of Taji were all infantry, and it was impossible for the 8,000 infantry to walk all the way back to Goguryeo hungry. ,

"Liaodong City! There are tens of thousands of stones of grain there, and as long as we take Liaodong City, we can not only solve the food crisis immediately. And Gu, the mountains of property in the city are also ours, and the commander promised that as long as Liaodong City is captured, except for the people of Goguryeo, all the other captives will be divided equally between the three of you, and I don't want any Goguryeo. Ezhi threw out his own conditions, and now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he is also poor.

Tie An replied with a face full of disappointment: "This is the strategy of the big handsome?" I don't think so, I've been attacking for more than ten days before, but I still haven't been able to take Liaodong City, and now we only have a day's food left, but how can we attack the city? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, there is no food to eat, how do you let the sons and daughters fight? ”

Gao Jianwu stood up and said in a deep voice, "Generals, now we are all in the same boat, if we can't work together, then everyone will have to drown if the boat capsizes." What the marshal and I mean is that the news of the general's food interruption will be told to all the soldiers immediately, so that everyone can understand that if you take Liaodong City, you will have food, money, food, and women. I can't take Liaodong City, I have nothing, and I'm going to starve to death soon. ”

"This king believes that in such a ruined and desperate battle, the soldiers will be able to put their lives on the ground and come back to life! Now there are still a lot of war horses, pack horses and donkeys in the army, anyway, now they are fighting against the water. We don't need these things to attack the city, we just kill the horses for food, so that we can support it for another seven days, and within seven days, we must take Liaodong City! ”

"Can't take Liaodong City in seven days?" Tie An replied urgently.

Gao Jianwu said lightly, "I can't take it, then this is the place where you and I are buried." If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! ”

There was silence in the big tent, no one spoke, Tie Anda, Fuyu Zhang, and Huang Ge, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes kept talking, but they couldn't make up their minds. Liaodong City is far stronger than they imagined. For more than ten days of siege, they have also watched the siege fail again and again. It is too difficult to take Liaodong City within seven days.

This is a gamble, and it is a very slim gamble. Tie Anda and Huang Ge both retreated, they still had three days' food, and they both had horses, while the horses drove back to the tribe, and on the other hand, they killed horses on the road to satisfy their hunger, they still had a choice.

Although this is tantamount to breaking the alliance with Goguryeo, and all the losses this time cannot be made up, he is still more willing to return to the tribe immediately than the whole army is wiped out, and the lesser of two evils is compared.

Gao Jianwu and Yizhi's faces were a little white, and their hearts were full of nervousness, so the three clans were really desperate to take the people back, then they had to consider the second plan they had discussed before. The three people of Tie'an were placed under house arrest, and the soldiers and horses of the three clans were coerced to attack the city immediately.

There was an urgent sound of footsteps, and a man shouted loudly outside the tent, "Report to the marshal, there is an urgent military situation from the reconnaissance cavalry!" ”

"Quick!"

The sudden news broke the silence in the tent, and also temporarily broke the tense situation that was about to be touched.

"Report to the marshal, the Tanma Feiying, who went to the Liaohe River to investigate, sent back an urgent report that a small part of the cavalry of the Sui army had appeared near the Liaohe River. It is observed that they are the soldiers and horses of the Sui army Zhang Xutuo to reinforce Liaodong City, and in two days at most, most of the Sui army will arrive under Liaodong City, please take precautions as soon as possible! "The house leak happened to rain overnight!

At this time, everyone in the tent was shocked. No one thought that the Sui army reinforcements would come so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already reached the edge of the Liao River. In this way, when they cross the river, they can reach the city of Liaodong in two days at most. At that time, if the Sui army attacked inside and outside, surrounded on both sides, and the coalition army, which had run out of food, would inevitably be defeated.

Such an ending is unimaginable, and there is nowhere to escape. After escaping for a while, they could not escape the fate of starvation to death without food.

"Zhang Xutuo came so fast!" "What now? Even if we attack the city right now, I'm afraid that it will be too late, and it will be impossible to capture Liaodong City in two days. "Huang Ge is completely panicked now, they can still run just because of the lack of food, and the defenders of Liaodong City may not dare to chase after them.

But with this new force that has just arrived, then if they want to escape, it is absolutely hopeless. If you want to run, you have to kill the horse, but if you kill the horse, thousands of miles in the vast Liaodong, they will definitely not be able to outrun the Sui cavalry that is pursuing.

Yizhi Wende restrained the fear in his heart, and turned to the person who reported the news: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses Zhang Xutuo has? "Back to the big marshal, according to the observation of the horses, the Sui army came to reinforce nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and each of them brought two horses, and there were a large number of horses carrying grain and grass behind, which came very quickly. "The Messenger 1510 said.

Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu raised their heads at the same time, their eyes were tightly facing each other, and the corners of their mouths were upturned.

A hint of ruthlessness.

"Just in time, more than 20,000 horses, and a lot of grain and grass. Ladies and gentlemen, this must be able to feed 300,000 people for a while? ”

Gao Jianwu laughed a few times, "Definitely enough grain and grass to be delivered, maybe not waiting for the grain and grass to come, we have already captured Liaodong City at that time!" ”
