Chapter 69: An ambush is suspected

Now that it was decided that it was time to rest, the camp was immediately set up with the support of the engineering battalion.

I have to say that there are a group of people who are specifically responsible for this kind of thing is really useful, and at the same time, Fang Yun couldn't help complaining, he asked them to modify the trebuchet and develop new siege equipment, but he didn't come up with it, but he had time to study how to quickly build a camp?

Is this putting the cart before the horse? But to really set up a camp so quickly, it can indeed save a lot of trouble, and even the march can be extended for half an hour or something.

Don't look at the fact that you can't go far in half an hour, it is a large army of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is not a problem for Fang Yun's army to walk a hundred miles a day, and it can be done for an extra hundred and twenty miles. If you can walk for another half an hour every day, you can say that you can travel ten miles more, and for an army that pays attention to the speed of soldiers, these ten miles are sometimes the difference between heaven and hell.

"The lord set up this engineering battalion, but it is also ingenious!" Chen Tao, who had just joined, was very satisfied, while Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao also nodded silently, secretly saying that their own army also had to build such an engineering battalion.

Speaking of Chen Tao...... I haven't asked Brother Chen if he has a table word...... Fang Yun turned his head and mentioned it casually, and then thought that it was not polite to call the person by his name directly, so he asked.

"This is Chen Mou Meng Lang, Chen Mou is a person from Luoyang, and his family strictly gives the word Wentao." Chen Wentao returned with his hand.

"Uncle has a lot of hopes, Wen Tao, what do you think we should do next? In this battle, although my army was qualified to lead the army independently, Qu Shuai only gave us ten days of food and grass. If we don't get supplies in ten days, then we'll all have to drink the northwest wind. Fang Yun asked.

Without him, just because only Chen Tao has the skill of 'calculation', he is the only person in the army who can work part-time as a military advisor.

"That's right...... It's not hard to say! There is a bandit's village in a mountain forest in Cai, and this gang of bandits has been living here for more than 50 years, and they think they have a rich family...... Thanks to this gang of thieves, the families around Shangcai County have built three dock forts to defend against them, and it is estimated that there is a lot of food in them! But then again, the lord's phrase 'northwest wind' is quite interesting, but I don't know where it comes from? "A literati is a literati, and when they encounter something they don't know, they like to get to the bottom of it.

"I don't know, I've heard others say that, and I think it's interesting and use it!" Fang Yun scratched his cheeks, to be honest, he didn't know the allusion to this sentence.

"Hmm...... It should be from a sentence in "Zhuangzi Leisurely Travel", the original sentence is 'don't eat grains, suck wind and drink dew'. Taoists also often have the saying of 'sucking the wind', so if you don't have anything to eat, you can eat the northwest wind, but it also conforms to this artistic conception! "Chen Tao's literati style has been completely activated.

"By the way, Brother Wen Tao, I'm afraid your origin is not simple, right?" Fang Yun couldn't help but be curious about this guy's origin.

"This is not hidden from the lord, Chen is actually a child of a family, but my uncle suffered from the party, not only was the whole family deprived of his official status, but also our family had to be sent to the army. Originally, there was still a glimmer of life here, but I didn't want the ten permanent servants to be dissatisfied with my uncle for a long time, and actually assassinated me on the road, and in the end, only Chen was left in the whole clan to escape......" Chen Tao introduced himself with a little unwillingness and even a little resentment.

Seeing that there are hundreds of people in the whole clan, and he is the only one left alive, this hatred is big enough. No wonder he secretly instigated Dian Wei to join his own troops, and those who dared to oppose the behemoth of the Han Dynasty in the world were currently only the Yellow Turban Army.

However, he is not a fool, and he can see that the Yellow Turban Army has no future, so naturally he will not join the Yellow Turban Army stupidly because of hatred. But after seeing Fang Yun, he knew that this was the object he was worthy of investment, so he had everything he has today.

"Yes, the past is over, if you enter Luoyang in the future, you can kill a few if you like!" Fang Yun said with a smile.

"I'll look forward to that day!" Chen Tao smiled, but his expression was very flat, obviously not holding out much hope for this.

"Brother Fang, it's time to eat!" Xie Yuan ran over at this time, and habitually said to Fang Yun.

"Okay...... Wen Tao, come with me to dinner! Fang Yun said with a smile.

"Dare to disobey!" Chen Tao mentioned the nature at this time, and said with a smile.

It's just that it's not easy to eat pasta again, after all, the amount of wheat planted in this year is still too small, and then Bocai also likes to eat it, so he keeps a lot, so Fang Yun has to control the supply of pasta. Even tomorrow their troops will have to return to the same situation as before, and they will have to stop and bury the pot for cooking at lunch and dinner.

Although it was corn rice, Fang Yun was ingenious, using eggs and vegetables, and finally adding some lean meat, with salt and lard boiled before, to fry a pot of corn. It doesn't taste very good, but it's much more delicious than eating corn porridge or pure corn.

"Lord, where did you learn this hand, you are miserable! What if you can't eat this delicacy when you're not by your side in the future? While eating, Ye Tianlong began to complain again.

It's just that his words made everyone around laugh.

"Lord, be careful, there seems to be an ambush in the jungle in the distance, maybe there will be a night attack!" While eating, Chen Tao suddenly came over and said something to Fang Yun.

"What's that saying?" Fang Yun asked curiously.

"It's too quiet, but in the mountains and forests, there are many insects and birds singing at night. But now there is no sound in that forest, which means that there is someone in ambush there, so that the birds, beasts, insects and snakes are frightened, so that they dare not scream! Chen Tao analyzed.

"I said Chen Tao, are you too worried?" Pei Yuanshao was a little unconvinced, and asked casually.

"Don't underestimate my third brother, although the martial arts are worse than me and the second brother, but the two of us are not his opponents combined." Dian Wei stood up and explained.

Since it was Dian Wei, Pei Yuanshao didn't want to say anything, so he tried to challenge Dian Wei with Zhou Cang just now, but in such a one-to-two situation, he actually lost to him easily. The martial artist admired the strong man the most, and in front of him, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang naturally couldn't raise their heads.

"Since Wen Tao said so, whether there is or not, we can't treat it sloppily. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, who will be responsible at that time? Pass my order, immediately make preparations to prevent night attacks, and the whole army is ready to defend and counterattack, and even take the initiative to attack! Fang Yun stood up, waved his big hand, and officially issued the military order.

"Whoa!" From then on, everyone stopped laughing and stood up and shouted.

Soon, the whole camp was quickly busy, but after half an hour, calm was restored. To outsiders, it seemed as if the entire camp had finished their dinner and had begun to rest......

P.S Thank you for the reward of the "Emperor of the Wilderness", I also worked hard tonight, and the three more were sent, I hope you like it!
