It is difficult to confirm whether history will change greatly because of his own changes, and it is difficult to guarantee whether Emperor Zhuang Lie will "die nine years in advance". To be precise, Dayong didn't know how to raise the grain and grass needed to go north.

The army has no food, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Hou Sui urged him tightly, and under Dayong's repeated efforts, Fang gave Dayong three days. Three days later, the Liaodong Army was going to leave Zhangde and head north. This means that within three days, Dayong must prepare enough food for more than 20,000 soldiers to go to Beijing.

If you don't have a family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, and if you don't lead the army, you don't know how difficult it is to march.

Most of the grain and grass transferred from Dengzhou by the Fourth Guard of the Army have been consumed, and the commander Shao Wu complained to Dayong many times, and only 40 catties of grain could be delivered from Dengzhou, and the remaining 60 catties were eaten up by the escorted soldiers on the road. And half of the 40 catties of grain that arrived were used to help the victims collected along the way, and only a pitiful fifth of the food really reached the stomachs of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army.

Now, even this pitiful fifth cannot be guaranteed, because the battle line is prolonged, the existing strength and transportation capacity of the Fourth Guard can no longer bear the transfer of military rations, and the food purchased by Dengzhou through the sea trade is also exhausted, if it still continues to supply the front line, then Dengzhou will not be able to guarantee the ration supply of the immigrants, so that no matter how many victims are sheltered by the front line, it will be useless, because when they come to Dengzhou with all their hard work, they will also starve to death.

Shao Wu also told Dayong that the fourth guard had been attacked by many bandits in the process of transporting grain, and even hungry victims attacked the grain transport team, and in order to protect this hard-won food, the fourth guard had sacrificed more than 100 people, and if this continued, more people would die. Moreover, the officers and soldiers along the way also seemed to be interested in the Liaodong Army, which had food, and found the local guards among the captured bandits. It's okay to deal with bandits and hungry people, but if the officers and soldiers of the guard also participated in the attack on the Liaodong army, then the 10,000 people of the fourth guard alone would never be able to take on the task of transporting grain and fight with those guards at the same time.

In desperation, Dayong ordered Dengzhou to stop transporting grain to the front line, not because he was afraid that those guards and soldiers would take advantage of the fire to loot, but because he couldn't accept that Dengzhou was dragged down because of the continuous grain delivery, and it became a hell on earth again. He can't save so many people, and if more people die because of saving people, why bother!

Stopping the delivery of military food in Dengzhou meant that the Liaodong Army had to have another way to obtain food, and this way Dayong was completely placed on the imperial court. In the past few days, the Liaodong Army has been waiting for the military rations allocated by the imperial court, and the great victory of beheading more than 40,000 rogues is enough to make the imperial court change its opinion of the Liaodong Army, and it is enough for the imperial court to put aside its previous grievances and give some support to this brave and warlike soldier!

Hou Sui said that the Liaodong army seized a lot of grain and grass from the Liukou, but the fact was that there was not much grain and grass captured at all, and the Liukou themselves did not produce, they completely fed the war by war, and their own supplies were completely robbed, and they went to rob that place after eating up this place, and under this "survival" method, it was a joke to expect them to be able to accumulate a large amount of grain and grass.

In order to prevent these refugees from starving to death and let them move to Dengzhou alive, Dayong repeatedly ordered to tighten the stomachs of the soldiers and save a mouthful of food in their mouths for these hungry people who were already starving to death.

In the process of purging the Muslims, many times the Liaodong army had just broken the Huihui stockade, and thousands of hungry people poured in.

No one can be ruthless with this heart, not even the cannibal fierce tiger guards.

The tiger guards saw with their own eyes that a woman cut off her thigh with a knife in order to keep her child alive!

The tiger guards had eaten people, but they had never cut off their own flesh, they couldn't imagine how the mother gritted her teeth and cut her own flesh to feed her child, they couldn't imagine how the mother endured the pain!

All they knew was that when the hungry child became angry because he had drunk the broth made from his mother's meat, the woman who was almost fainting in pain had a smile on her face, a smile on her face

At that moment, the tiger guards who witnessed it all had sour noses, and they were fierce and sometimes wept.

When Dayong heard this, he was also uncontrollable sad, in the face of this tragic thing in the world, he did everything he could, but he couldn't do so much, he really couldn't save so many people! He can only sigh why God is so kind to Daming, and let the people of Daming suffer this torture!

Da Ming, my Da Ming! Why are you like this, why are you like this?

The existing grain stocks in the army can only last for five days, and within five days, whether officers or non-commissioned officers, there are always four nests, two in the morning and two in the evening, and in addition, it is a salty soup boiled with rotten vegetable leaves. Because the consumption of salt is too great, in two days, even the salty soup that can replenish the soldier's strength will not be able to drink. The front battle was better, because there were a large number of dead and wounded war horses of the former old Hui cavalry that could be eaten, and the Liaodong army could eat horse meat at once, but now, where to find so many dead horses to eat. The living war horses were offered as treasures, and they ate no less than people. Five days later, the Liaodong Army will run out of food.

I thought that after the documents for the victory went up, the imperial court would send grain and grass to the Liaodong Army, but now, not only did the imperial court not send a grain of grain, but also asked them to go to King Qin hungry, and no one could figure it out, and no one would do it!

In the military discussion, except for Cao Bianjiao, who was still in Linxian County, all the Liaodong generals, including Jiang Wanli, were unanimously opposed to King Qinwang in the north, and there was no other reason, only one - if you don't eat, you can't go!

Huang An, the commander of the army's second guard, Dayong's old subordinate in Songshan back then, knelt in front of Dayong almost pleading, and tried to persuade him not to go north to King Qin. Without the help of grain and grass, King Qinwang in the north is a dead end, definitely a dead end, and he can't watch the Liaodong Army, which finally has today's scale, collapse.

"We are worthy of the imperial court, worthy of this Daming!" Li Dashan, the commander of the third guard who was born as a bandit, looked at Dayong with red eyes, and even shouted: "Without food, I won't go anywhere!" Kill me and don't go! ”

The generals were unanimous, so unanimous that it was difficult for Dayong to speak, and it was even more difficult to force these brothers who had fought with him all the way to the road of no return.

"If we don't go to King Qin, in case Dongyu really breaks through the capital, won't we be sinners for the ages?" Dayong really wanted these brothers to understand his helplessness and support him, but it was difficult for him to convince them, because he didn't know how to be diligent in this Qinwang.

The generals were silent, no one took Dayong's words, and when Dayong's eyes looked at them, they all immediately turned their heads, not wanting to look at Dayong's gaze at all.

With a long sigh, Dayong knew that this king could not be diligent, and even Guo Dacheng and Luo Rucai could not fight, unless he could conjure up food.

In the silence, a voice suddenly came: "We have food, we have a lot of food, we can go north to King Qin!" ”

These words made everyone turn around in unison, and it was the young officer Lin Junyi who spoke, and he seemed very calm in the face of everyone's puzzled and surprised eyes looking at him.
