The battalion of the Sui army, the general of the left Xiaowei, Jing Yuanheng, was temporarily marshaled.

Dozens of generals sat upright in two columns, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

"How long can the army's food stocks last?"

Jing Yuanheng, who was sitting in the main seat, was full of condensation, and the momentum of the super-first-class master erupted, and the airflow seemed to be like condensation, so that the hearts of the generals under the tent were like a big stone, and they didn't even dare to breathe a little bigger.

"Back to the general, the army's grain storage can only barely last for ten days!"

Ying Yanglang, who was in charge of the governor's grain and grass logistics, got up and returned to his face.

"How so?"

Jing Yuanheng's gaze froze, like two sharp blades nailed to the body of the returning Ying Yang Lang General, and the powerful mountain-like pressure instantly made Ying Yang Lang sweat on his forehead, and even his breathing seemed to stop.

"Returning to the general, I didn't expect that the domestic roads of Goguryeo would be so difficult, and the other party would be so determined in his own territory!"

Despite the panic in his heart, Ying Yanglang, who is responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, will have to answer hard.

The generals in the tent nodded secretly when they heard this, this guy got to the point.

Don't look at Goguryeo's claim to be a 'strong country', but the official road construction within its borders can only be expressed in slag.

It was the best time to march in April and May, without the continuous rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the cold of dripping water into ice outside the plug, but unfortunately the road conditions in Goguryeo were really pitiful, and the level of the rural dirt roads in the north of the Great Sui was also the level of the two armies, and the speed of the two armies could not get up at all.

At the same time, Goguryeo was also ruthless and implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness during the march of the Sui army. Although the Sui army seized a lot of gold and silver treasures, there were also some cattle, horses, and livestock that could be used. But for the rations of an army of 300,000 is only a drop in the bucket.

No, we've just reached the general route. The food ration was insufficient.

The combination of these unfavourable factors has led to the current situation.

No matter how bad Goguryeo is, it is also a 'strong country' with a depth of 3,000 miles, and the Sui army has not even hit Pyongyang, the heart of its heartland, and it is still far from beating it down or even destroying the country!

"Is there a solution?"

Jing Yuanheng's face was full of solemnity, his eyes were cold, and he slowly asked.

"General, you can only temporarily reduce the daily rations!"

"Send logistics baggage personnel back to pull food as soon as possible!"

"We also need to try to take a few Goguryeo Xiongcheng cities and get as many supplies as possible!"

“……”

The Ying Yang Lang generals and the Ying Yang Vice Lang generals spoke one after another and put forward their thoughts and suggestions.

This is Goguryeo, not domestic. It's not the time to tear each other down.

"Okay, let's deal with it according to your opinions!"

After Jing Yuanheng synthesized the opinions of his cadres, he finally made a decision with a wave of his hand, and finally did not forget to add: "Report the situation to the other people and see how their situation is!" ”

……

"Lin Shalangjun is not good, Lin Shalangjun is not good......"

As soon as He received the order from the brigade commander, he ran all the way back to the supervised Minfu camp, and rushed directly to Lin Sha, who was sitting in the camp tent, and shouted anxiously.

"So-and-so is fine, why is it not good?"

Suddenly opened his eyes. Two fierce flashes shot out of his eyes, and Lin Sha said coldly with a solemn face.

"It's my mouth that is wrong, it's my mouth that is wrong......"

Swept away by two sharp gazes, as if he was in the ninth winter, his body trembled violently, and Team He couldn't care about wiping the hot sweat on his forehead. With a cautious smile: "Isn't this too shocked, don't take it to heart when you are excited!" ”

"I didn't take it to heart!"

Putting down the coarse paper with a large amount of data in hand, Lin Sha frowned lightly and said coldly.

He team rate: "......"

The captain repeated the order he had just heard from the brigade commander. sat down on the pony next to him, and said with a happy face: "Lang Jun, you really have foresight. Ready early! ”

"You're still in charge of the Minfu team, isn't it clear about the food reserves of the other battalions?"

Lin Sha's face was still cold. Coldly swept He Team, glanced disdainfully.

"Hehe, what do you need to work hard to have Lang Jun out of the horse?"

Team He's dark face did not change in the slightest, and it was natural to wave his big hand.

"Find out, what kind of charter is up there?"

Frowning, Lin Sha didn't have the heart to joke, and said in a cold tone: "Whether to continue to move forward or stop on the spot, or retreat, you have to figure it out, let's prepare early!" ”

According to what he knew, the reason why the Sui army's first expedition to Goguryeo failed was because of the lack of grain and grass, and the heavy losses caused by the sneak attack of the Goguryeo army.

Although this is a high martial world, and some things are difficult to deduce according to common sense, he is not sure that such things will not continue to develop according to the historical trajectory, so he has repeatedly done some 'useless work' before.

Now it seems that he was 'prescient'.

It's just a pity that his 'status' at this time is too low, and he doesn't have the slightest right to speak in the expeditionary Sui army, and it can be regarded as luck to meet a supervisory officer with a straightforward personality like He Team, otherwise I'm afraid that some of the tricks and feet he did secretly will not be able to implement.

It's ridiculous to think about it, the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops of the dignified Sui Dynasty did not fall under the enemy's tough methods, nor did they fight the streets in a harsh environment, but hung on the most impossible food and grass problems.

I don't know if the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, was too confident, or the expeditionary generals were too blind, thinking that they could sit back and relax and go straight to the Yellow Dragon with enough grain and grass for a hundred days?

Now, you're suffering, aren't you?

……

The sudden reduction in the amount of rations made the soldiers of the Sui army feel uneasy.

When five days passed, and the two-meal daily ration was less than one-third of what it had started, the panic spread like a virus.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, isn't there enough food and grass in the army?"

"It's not enough to eat at this point, so how can you march and fight on an empty stomach all day?"

"The military rations are almost gone, and you still have a fart?"

“……”

For a time, rumors spread in the army, the morale of the army was turbulent, and the morale of the generals gradually declined.

Without enough military rations to replenish, no matter how powerful Jing Yuanheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was, helpless in the face of the boiling and turbulent military spirit in the battalion.

At the same time, the rest of the surrounding generals and the generals also sent news, and their situation was similar to Jing Yuanheng, and there were signs of lack of military food and unstable morale.

How good is that?

Although the news was only circulated among the middle and high ranks of the army, the officers and men at the bottom still felt that the atmosphere was not right, and one by one they were in a state of anxiety and anxiety, and rumors spread that the morale of the army was seriously damaged.

……

"It's getting worse!"

In recent days, the air pressure in the army has been extremely low, and even He Team, who has always been very arrogant, has a dense sadness on his face, and he hurriedly found Lin Sha to complain about his uneasiness as soon as he set up camp that day.

"The number of rations has dropped too much, no wonder rumors are spreading in the army!"

Lin Sha's face was still cold, and he raised his head slightly and said as a matter of course.

"Why don't we burst out all the hidden grain and grass?"

Team He's hands tightened and loosened uneasily, showing the uneasiness and embarrassment in his heart.

"Now is not the time!"

Lin Sha's eyes froze, nodded and said in a deep voice: "We have spent so much effort and suffered so many white eyes, good steel naturally has to be used on the blade, how can we be willing if we don't get enough benefits?" ”

With a vague coldness on his face, he did not hesitate to reveal the ambition in his heart.

Although the amount of grain and grass in hand is several times or even more than ten times that of the rest of the people's teams of the same size, it can completely supply the whole army with a few full meals, or the kind of full food that is full of oil.

With the drastic reduction in the supply of rations for officers and soldiers, the number of rations for the vassal men has dropped even more, which is less than one-sixth of when they were first drawn from Liaodong, and they still have to do a lot of manual labor every day, and this kind of hardship and suffering is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Even if there is no problem with mental perseverance, and the body cannot keep up with the intense consumption, there are many young and strong people who are tired and sick at work.

However, the high-level of the Sui army treated these people with too cruel and cold-blooded methods, buried the dead directly, and even the deputy straw mats were stingy, and the tired and sick were not treated well or sent back to the rear, but directly gave up and left them to fend for themselves.

Such a cruel method is that with Lin Sha's old mentality after many lifetimes, he will often feel unbearable.

It is also for this reason that he naturally will not be arrogant and honestly offer the huge amount of grain and grass at hand.

The rations of the young and strong people he led are no different from those of other people's teams, but with his rich experience and superb level of traditional Chinese medicine, when the grass grows and the warblers fly in late spring and early summer, he casually looks for large bushes of edible wild vegetables and wild fruits, and secretly does not add a small amount of ration supply, and the people team he leads is the best state and the most efficient in the entire logistics system of the army!

The young and strong people under his command secretly benefited, although it was still difficult to eat enough every day, but they were much stronger than their companions in the other people's teams, and all of them kept their mouths shut and did not dare to spread the word indiscriminately.

Lin Sha knew that there was a strict hierarchy in the army, knew the importance of rights, and had a huge amount of grain and grass that had been preserved with great difficulty, but he was extremely interested in promotion!

"Okay then, just toss with Lang Jun!"

No matter how you say it, they are all military attachés in the army, although Team He is rude and arrogant, and there is no lack of sensitivity, he vaguely guessed Lin Sha's thoughts, but this is beneficial to him, knowing that Lin Sha's brain is not comparable to him, so he turned a blind eye.

Finally, at the tenth juncture, although there was still a little grain in the army, it was less than tens of thousands of troops to chew for a few days, and seeing that the situation was critical, even Jing Yuanheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was in a hurry, and a lieutenant suddenly came to report that a certain team of 5,000 people under its supervision had enough grain and grass for the army to chew for ten days...... (To be continued.) )
