General Li Shen led the grain team all the way back, and finally arrived at the camp at the time of the lantern.

As soon as they appeared, they were spotted by a group of people guarding the gate of the barracks: "You have finally returned!" With that, a crowd of people ran towards them.

The leader was a tall and thin man, wearing the same standard of armor as General Li: "How is it, how much has been raised?" The voice of the visitor was urgent.

General Li Shen gasped and pointed to the car behind him: "It's all here." ”

The night was dim, and the vision was not clear, but the faint outline could still be seen, and when he saw the grain cart rising high, the thin and tall man suddenly exclaimed: "So many!" ”

General Li nodded and asked back: "What about your side, how much have you raised?" ”

Speaking of this, the thin and tall man suddenly became angry in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "Don't mention it, those merchants are pushing back one by one, if it weren't for Lao Tzu showing the guy and scaring them hard, they wouldn't even be able to get fifty loads." “

"Fifty quintals, so little!" General Li frowned.

"No, these profiteers!" The tall and thin man became more and more angry the more he spoke: "If Lao Tzu wants to say it, he should throw them to the front line, so that they can also feel the sword of the Beiyi people." It's shameless to see if they dare to make such a national disaster! “

"Forget it, if those people had a conscience, they wouldn't be profiteers, it's useless for us to be angry, we want to open some. Besides, it's not all because of them that we protect our family and country, think about our parents, wives and children in our hometown. General Li patted the thin and tall shoulder and comforted.

Someone has to do some things, and some enemies have to be fought!

"I'm just angry, you don't know, I've already calculated, just now the three teams came back, guess how much they raised?"

"How much?" Seeing that the thin general's face was not good, General Li hesitated: "Forty dans? ”

"Less than thirty." The thin general said angrily: "You say it's not angry, the third team went to the rich area, did you say that the conscience of those rich people was eaten by dogs!" ”

General Li also sighed when he heard this, but when he thought of the three hundred loads of grain behind him, he was in a much better mood.

"Forget it, don't talk about those people, do you know, I met a big family today, and it's a big family with a conscience." General Li raised his eyebrows at the tall and thin man: "Guess how much I spent on these grains?" ”

When the thin general heard this, he looked back, and he didn't really see it in the dim night, and he only saw that every car seemed to be full of them.

"There has to be a ..... here Bailaidan, right? He asked hesitantly.

"Three hundred quintals." The fluttering words shocked everyone present.

"What! Three hundred quintals! The tall, thin man's mouth opened in surprise, and then he rushed quickly to the grain trucks, and then carefully counted each cart.

"That's three hundred quintals!" After confirming that he was not joking with him, the thin general was surprised and delighted, and turned around and gave a thumbs up to General Li: "Awesome, bearded, just those two broken streets have made you squeeze out so much oil and water." “

When General Li heard this, he swung his fist over: "What nonsense! Let the marshal hear this, but he must not misunderstand that I am oppressing the people. ”

"No, you're really useless?" The tall and thin man looked incredulous: "It's okay, you tell me quietly, I won't tell the marshal, besides, those people are already in arrears." ”

"If you say no, you don't." General Li glared at him: "Okay, I have to go and give the marshal his life, and the brothers will let me go." ”

"Really, then tell me how this grain came from, I don't believe that those old slippery heads can sell you so cheaply with such rice and grain."

You must know that their military spending on buying grain is very limited, and if you want to buy suitable grain, you must work hard to lower the price, but it is not easy to lower the price in a peaceful and prosperous era, let alone now.

"Hey, you're guessing wrong." General Li's face was proud: "These grains were not bought, they were sent by a family surnamed Xu." “

"Send!" The thin and tall man didn't believe it anymore: "In the world, how can there be such a good thing, you don't deceive me, say it quickly, say it quickly." “

"Oh, that's the way it is, don't believe it, you'll know when you see the marshal."

Seeing him turn in the direction of the main account, the tall and thin man hurriedly shouted: "Wait, the marshal is now discussing important strategic policies with General Wu, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you for a while, or you can tell me about it first." “

"Say what you say, and we'll hear it later." General Li ignored him and strode towards the main account.

"The last general thinks that after nightfall tomorrow, he can send a vanguard of two hundred people to make a surprise night attack, if he can successfully burn the enemy's grain and grass........." Wu Tianyou raised his eyebrows.

"Then let's take advantage of this chaos and take them down in one fell swoop." Mao Deming made a gesture cooperatively, and then said: "This method is really good, but it is difficult to say whether this night attack can succeed, once it fails, it will not be easy to use this trick next time." ”

"Therefore, we must be fully prepared, even if the night attack fails, we have a second set of contingency plans....."

"Well, it's time to deploy it." Mao Deming touched his beard and said.

Outside the door, General Li and the tall and thin man came in a hurry, and the soldiers guarding the gate stopped them ten paces away: "The marshal is discussing with the general the strategy of retreating from the enemy, and no one who has nothing to do with him must not listen to it." ”

General Li Shen hugged and saluted: "Please inform the marshal, the fifth team Li Jie, and the sixth team Tan Bo come to restore his life." ”

Hearing that it was a return to life, the soldier guarding the gate looked a lot better: "Then you are waiting here, and I will report it." “

Not long after the soldiers guarding the gate entered the account, they came out: "The general let you in." ”

"The last general, Li Jie, Tan Bo has seen the marshal, the general."

"Get up, how's it going, how is the food being raised?"

Tan Bo was also thin and tall, and said dejectedly: "I only got fifty loads." ”

Hearing this, Mao Deming's face instantly sank, and when Tan Bo saw this, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The last general is ineffective, and I ask the general to punish him." “

Wu Tianyou, who was on the side, heard this, and his brows were also furrowed.

After a while, the Protector sighed lightly and motioned for Tan Bo to get up: "Forget it, it's no wonder to you about this matter, in fact, before leaving, Ben Shuai had expected it, but he didn't expect that it would be so few." Fifty quintals ........"

Of the ten food purchasing teams dispatched, eight had returned, but the information of the return made his heart cold.

The three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, but the grain and grass of the Northern Army had already been in an emergency, and the soldiers had not eaten a full meal in the past half a month.

But he can't blame the court, blame the emperor, the country is empty for not a day or two, and the guards of the Quartet know that the batch of troops allocated two months ago is probably the last bottom of the treasury.

But Rao is like this, or half of it was ruined by the spies of the enemy country!

That's why he ordered the soldiers in the army to go to Tengzhou with the seized booty to exchange for grain, looking forward to getting through this most difficult period with these, who knows......
