Chapter 231: Smoke and Sand in the Half City (88)
Xi Fan replied: "That's right, no matter how many Qin soldiers lurk in, they will definitely find a way to prevent us from transporting grain and grass back, but we don't know what method they will use." ”
Speeding up, the Zhenxi army finally arrived at Luhe City in the early morning of the third day, and camped outside Luhe City to rest.
When the Luhe County Guard received the news of the arrival of the Zhenxi Army, he was extremely shocked, Cangzhou City was now facing the siege of the Qin army, which was something he was completely unaware of.
After confirming the situation, the military report was sent to the capital as soon as possible.
It's just that although the situation in Cangzhou is urgent, the transfer of military supplies and grain in the surrounding towns is not something he can decide alone, except for the local military supplies in Luhe, he can decide to stay, and other towns can only wait for the will of the imperial court.
Fortunately, the Lingxiao Commercial Bank in the city had food reserves, and they said that they could provide it to the Cangzhou army free of charge.
Watching Lingxiao Commercial Bank continue to transport bags of grain from the warehouse to load the Zhenxi Army, the cars soon loaded were more than those prepared by Luhe.
The Luhe County Guard's eyes widened in surprise.
He didn't know who the owner behind Lingxiao Commercial Bank was, but the fact that the reserves of Lingxiao Commercial Bank alone were already more than the reserves of the entire Luhe River made him have to admire the wealth of Lingxiao Commercial Bank.
But at the same time, he also secretly sweated for the Lingxiao Commercial Bank, it is okay for the Commercial Bank to deal in grain, but the reserves are as large as military quartermasters, it is difficult not to make the superiors suspicious.
I hope this Lingxiao Commercial Bank will be fine in the future, after all, they are also helping the Cangzhou Army through the difficulties.
Xi Fan ordered the Zhenxi army to rest outside Luhe City for two hours, and set off immediately after all the grain was loaded.
The entire Zhenxi Army is resting quietly at the moment, striving to recover their physical strength to the greatest extent.
But Xi Fan didn't go to rest, she was still communicating with the shopkeeper of Lingxiao Commercial Bank to solve the matter of purchasing grain.
Xi Fan had been injured before and had not fully recovered, and now she was rushing day and night without rest, no matter how high her martial arts were, she couldn't help but toss like this.
So her face has not been very good, and it can be seen that Yan Yuheng's heart has been full of pain.
But he couldn't convince her to stop.
Because, he knew how important it was for her to do these things.
The confusion in his heart all along, after watching Xi Fan's actions during this time, began to gradually become clear.
The sacrifices of the countless soldiers in front of them are not only for themselves, but also for the sake of being able to protect the country behind them.
Because the country is not a country, how can you come home.
He should probably learn to let go.
In the afternoon, the Zhenxi Army escorted the grain and grass back.
In order to speed up the speed of rushing back to Cangzhou, Xi Fan ordered the 5,000 Zhenxi Army to divide into three groups, and disperse on the grain and grass carts to rest every hour, and rush back to Cangzhou non-stop.
At the same time, all the guards around him were scattered and sent out to probe the surrounding movements.
The Zhenxi army rushed all the way to Cangzhou, and in the darkness beyond the distance of the flowing fire, several black shadows followed them closely for a while and stopped, and the leader ordered in a low voice: "Inform the others that the plan is canceled, go back and get on the horse and rush to the front Yuling to listen to the instructions!" ”
"Is the poison of the general's water source still down......?"
"What's next! These animals will stop to rest when they go to Luhe, but now they can't stop when they go back, and they waste medicine when they go down! Don't go back and get on the horse yet! ”
"Yes!"
