"Today, my brother is looking for two brothers because you have a good brain. Tell me, so many people are following us, and we can't rush or throw them, what should we do? Yao Liang asked Fu Sheng and Ye Zhongdao with a sad face.

At the beginning, seeing the personnel swelling, Fu Sheng and the others were indeed emboldened. But after some walk, they realized that something was wrong, because they were almost unable to feed so many people. For this reason, Yao Liang privately called Fu Sheng and Ye Zhong over.

"How many more days can the army be supplied?" Fu Sheng asked.

"Seven days!" Yao Liang replied, "This is still only counting the existing heads, and I don't know how many people have joined us below." ”

According to the rules of the Runing Army, the troops going out will bring enough food and grass to last for a month, but they are divided by those displaced people and bandits, and now Yao Liang's troops are not much left.

"Is that okay to ask the scholar in the back? Let him give us some food. Ye Zhong suggested.

"I sent someone to ask a long time ago. This book is ......! Hey! Won't. Yao Liang's face was helpless.

"Weishenme refuses?" Ye Zhong asked strangely.

"The scholar refuses to disobey the order! Hey! Yao Liang sighed again and said, "To put it mildly, he was reluctant to bring back those old, weak, sick and disabled." ”

Up to now, Yao Liang and his team have collected more than 60,000 homeless people and bandits, and more than 10,000 have been selected as auxiliaries. At this time, it was already difficult for them to ride the tiger, because changing their words and not collecting the displaced people would greatly damage the credibility of the Runing army, and it would be impossible to disperse the people who had already been gathered.

Moreover, Yao Liang and the others also calmed down from the frenzy that had been successfully reined in at the beginning, and they suddenly found that they had violated the military order of the Runing Army, that is, to expand the army without permission.

Although Yao Liang's actions were excusable, one of the policies of the Runing Army at this time was to capture the population. But after all, he didn't get Xue Yongli's permission, so Shumo, who was protecting in the rear, opened his eyes and closed his eyes, pretending not to know.

And at this time, let Shumo clearly support and supply food and grass? He definitely didn't have the guts. Therefore, it is already very good for Shumo Ken to bring those old and weak women and children back to Germany as a captive population.

"In any case, the people who have been formed into our troops cannot be dispersed. Anyway, there are sixteen or seven thousand. Even if we return to Runing, we will make arrangements, and we will have to get through the addiction of the town commander first. Haha-! Fu Sheng is also optimistic, he still dreams of "promotion" out of thin air.

"You have to find a good time to dream!" watched Fu Sheng drooling and being beaten. Yao Liang was angry, "I want you to think about how you have survived these few days?" Where the hell do you go to get food? What are you doing with all this useless? ”

"Isn't there seven days left? We also climbed to Kaifeng City, where there is no food? Besides, as long as we arrive in Kaifeng, we are now 'strong and strong'. It is a small sin to let the civil officials in Kaifeng City obediently hand over the 100,000 taels of silver promised to us. Li Ye will not be embarrassed for us. Brother Yao, what are you still worried about? Fu Sheng said nonchalantly.

"Still climbing?" Yao Liang's fire is even bigger. "You promise you won't fight with thieves on the road? As long as there is a stalemate for three days, we will have no food. ”

"We can't take care of that!" Fu Sheng said very irresponsibly, "Anyway, Xiao Ye and I will cross the Yellow River at that time, and I shouldn't worry about this matter." Besides, what I know is war, the matter of military quarters. You should ask Xiao Ye! ”

Fu Sheng handed over the problem to Ye Zhong's head with a long pass. Since the "shared suffering", the friendship between these two people has deepened, so some things are said very casually. Moreover, they also cooperate tacitly in the army, and they usually encounter problems. They were all commanded by Yao Liang, Fu Sheng was in charge of the war, and Ye Zhong was mainly responsible for military supplies.

"Xiaoye!" Yao Liang immediately moved his gaze to Ye Zhong, who was shrinking his neck. Look at my brother's expectant eyes!

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Ye Zhong could only sigh helplessly: "Hey! Let's hurry up! If you really can't do it, find a nearby county town to collect grain. ”

"How? Look at our appearance, it's similar to the people and thieves, which county dares to open the city gate? Yao Liang asked.

"Then what are we carrying so many artillery pieces for?" Ye Zhong blurted out. However, as soon as he saw Yao Liang and Fu Sheng fall into deep thought, he immediately hurriedly added, "If the county is willing to give food, it doesn't have to go to the city." It's best to scare it, and it's good to wipe your ass later. And the two brothers, this is the idea of the two of us, and we have to bear the problem together! ”

"Got it! Got it! With a solution to the problem, Yao Liang was in a good mood, he waved his hand impatiently, "It's Xiao Ye's brain work." We can't take credit, it's his idea alone. Haha-! ”

Yao Liang and Fu Sheng immediately daxiao heartlessly.

"Don't! Two brothers! Two grandfathers! Ye Zhong was immediately anxious. And Yao Liang and Fu Sheng laughed even more heartily.

"Don't be happy, y'all!" Ye Zhong, who was tricked, was even more anxious, "Maybe there will be a war between the people and thieves." ”

At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly came over, and he shouted in a loud voice: "My lord! The detectives knew that there were more than 20,000 thieves lined up thirty miles ahead, and they would engage us. ”

"Grass! Crow's beak! Yao Liang immediately scolded Ye Zhong.

"I'll come to the war, then I'll go to the front and arrange the troops first." Fu Sheng also immediately put away his smile and ran to the front team with his own soldiers.

After the spies sent by Li Zicheng confirmed that there were a large number of old and weak women and children in Yao Liang's troops, he finally accepted Niu Jinxing's advice and prepared to evacuate Kaifeng and rush to Ruzhou. And this evacuation, of course, broke into the camp to protect his own back road, so Li Zicheng left 20,000 soldiers led by He Shaoqi to intercept Yao Liang's troops and prevent the attack of Kaifeng City.

But when the camp was withdrawn from Kaifeng City, not a single soldier in the city dared to leave the city. There are only 9,000 Ming troops of Chen Yongfu in Kaifeng City, and there are only more than 10,000 strong people in the city, so they will never dare to go out of the city and hit stones with eggs. Not to mention the need to guard against the deception of the camp.

So He Shaoqi moved his troops to the front of Yao Liang's troops, blocking their advance, in case they suddenly attacked and threatened the flanks of the camp.

And He Shaoqi had the idea of blocking Yao Liangbu. He only had to pester Yao Liang for a few days and prevent them from threatening to break into the camp and retreat, and he didn't want to fight Yao Liang's troops immediately.

But in this way, Yao Liang was forced to take the initiative to attack. Because if it drags on, Yao Liang's troops will face a shortage of food. So in the face of the array of He Shaoqi, Yao Liang's troops also fought-for-tat, and gradually deployed their troops. (To be continued......)
