"A good kindness is like a mountain, and a good respect is great!"

Xue Yao said: "Uncle Yuan! Yuan Duyun! You and my father have fought side by side for more than ten years, like brothers, I respect you as an old man in the army, entrusted with important tasks, and rest assured that the heavy grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops will be supervised and supervised by you, but you ......"

Xue Yao trembled and pointed at Yuan Jie: "At this moment, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

"General, kill me!"

Yuan Jie knelt down and sobbed sadly.

All the generals reacted, and they all looked at Yuan Jie kneeling on the ground in disbelief, although he was wearing red armor at this moment, he did not have the courage to kill in the past, and the wrinkles on his face and a few strands of white hair between his hair silently showed that this was an old man over fifty years old.

Xue Yao opened his eyes and sighed.

"You listened to slander, treacherous and unrighteous, even fornicated with the enemy's country, mutilated your comrades, and drugged the food and grass of the army, causing the soldiers to vomit and diarrhea, and more than 100,000 people died at the hands of the enemy. Xue Yao pulled out the sword on the topographic map and held it in his hand.

He looked at Yuan Jie with red eyes, word by word.

"And I don't kill you, because you are old and frail, you have been diligent and diligent all these years, you have taken off this uniform and gone home!"

Yuan Jie was in tears, and he couldn't kneel for a long time: "Wang Yun is unfathomable, I am not the only one in the army who is coerced by him, and the general must be careful." With that, he suddenly raised his sword from his waist and killed himself in front of everyone.

All this happened too fast, and everyone couldn't stop it, and when they reacted, there was a pool of blood on the ground, and Yuan Jie had already fallen to the ground.

Xue Yao's expression remained unchanged: "Vice General Xu, send an order to the army, truthfully inform the soldiers of the cause of the army's diarrhea a month ago, Yuan Jie committed suicide in fear of sin, and buried him alive." ”

The cold wind outside the tent seemed to be colder, and the smell of blood in the air was kept inside the tent.

In the next few days, Xue Yao replaced the upper and lower superintendents in the Hu You army who were responsible for the baggage with a thunderous wrist, and even the team escorting the ox cart was replaced by his trusted personal guards.

Xue Yao knew that Yuan Jie was right before he died, Wang Yun had been in the Huyou army for many years, and the soldiers had more or less received his favor, and I don't know how many people were used by him, and I don't know how many people were happy and convinced of him.

However, at this time, the war is imminent, and there is not so much time for himself to plan carefully, so he has to cut through the chaos quickly.

On this day, he wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the ledger in front of the case.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm really shocked.

In addition to the 50,000 pieces of winter clothes that can be seen with the eye cannot be distributed, if there is a real war, the rest of the grain and grass can only last for ten days and a half months, that is to say, if the Qiang people cannot be defeated within half a month, the Huyou army will fall into a state of no food.

Even if there is a temporary large-scale collection of grain in Xiangcheng and neighboring counties, it can only last for five more days at most.

And the imperial court is now busy suppressing the army in the north, King An, who can no longer take care of this remote southwest area, and even such a big thing as Xue Yao's loss of Xinxiang only hurriedly sent an edict to defend Xiangcheng no matter what.

In the past, he arranged troops and went into battle to kill the enemy, and Yuan Jie took care of all the trivial matters in the army, so he didn't ask much.

But at this moment, the military advisor Xu Wei sent such an account book......

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, how can this battle be fought?

When Xue Yao was frowning, Huaiyu was calm, the Gu family army under his command was less than 50,000, but he had no worries, besides, it was the responsibility of the Huyou army to defend the city, and the bulk of the charge would be handed over to Xue Yao.

The Huyou army was defeated and fled to Xiangcheng, and it stands to reason that there should not be much grain and grass left in the army, but Huaiyu waited for so many days, and he didn't see Xue Yao come to borrow food from him.

There is no doubt that the Tiger You Army is short of food and clothing.

Could it be that Xue Yao hadn't discovered the problem with the baggage troops of the Tiger You Army? This is unlikely, with Xue Yao's means, it has been so long, and it should have been rectified a long time ago.

Huaiyu frowned, could it be that Xue Yao has such a good face that he can't pull his face down to borrow food?

Hehe, such a thick-skinned person!

Huaiyu denied this conjecture that did not reach the sky, so let's wait for the time being.

Sure enough, in the evening, the next person came to report, Xue Yao came to visit outside the house, Huaiyu closed the book: "Lead him to the side hall and wait, I will come." ”

Xue Yao was dressed in civilian clothes today, and due to the habits he had developed in the army all year round, even when no one was around, he sat up straight, holding a sword on the edge of the table in his left hand and a teacup in his right hand.

"General Xue has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing the voice, Xue Yao put down the teacup and looked up, the person who came walked calmly, his face was resolute, and he was not polite to him, and asked, "Are you here to borrow food?" ”

Xue Yao had been preparing his words for a long time, and at this moment, he blocked his throat.

He made up his mind to come to a little girl to borrow food, it was already the thickest in his skin, okay? I made a lot of psychological preparations, and I mustered up the courage to come to the little girl in front of me, but before I could open my mouth, I was told what the other party meant.

Xue Yao's heart has the urge to die!

Come on, the big husband can bend and stretch!

"Those who know me, Huaiyuye." He had a grin on his face, a cynical look.

Huaiyu even denied the idea that Xue Yao was thin-skinned and embarrassed to come to borrow grain.

"The Qiang and the Yan people are allied, we are destined to have a war with them, and this battle is destined to be a protracted war, the fight is the army logistics, you have 100,000 soldiers in the Huyou army, and you are still in Xiangcheng at this time, everyone is in charge of food and clothing, and the food problem is not big, but it is different on the battlefield."

"The land of the Qiang country is barren, and the Qiang people are cruel and murderous, and the soldiers are not afraid of death. Yan is rich and fertile for thousands of miles, Yan Weijun did his best to help the Qiang people this time, providing grain and grass, so that the Qiang army was free from worries......"

Xue Yao's eyes were scorching, and he looked at Huaiyu who was calmly analyzing the situation in amazement: Sure enough, the ambition of the little girl in front of her was not only to annex Yundu, nor was it just to bring the Huyou Army under her command!

She, this is going to heaven!

Xue Yao put away the messy thoughts in his heart, and only listened to the voice of the little girl in front of him: "General Xue, do you think that in the face of such an enemy, what are the chances of your Huyou army winning?" ”

Xue Yao knew that this was a battle that was bound to be lost! But he asked:

"What does Miss Gu think?"

This is a subtle rhetorical question, he has not yet opened his mouth to ask how much grain Huaiyu has in his hand, to a large extent, it depends on how much grain and grass she can provide for the Huyou army.

Huaiyu groaned: "Sixty percent at most!" ”

Xue Yao's eyes lit up, his hands patted Huaiyu's shoulders excitedly, and said excitedly: "Sixty percent!" That's enough! ”

Huaiyu stepped back without a trace.

Xue Yao reacted, withdrew his hand with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "With your sixty percent chance of winning, even if my Tiger You Army is all killed, it will be ten percent!" ”
