Chapter 970: Lack of Food
On this day, Su Jin and Qin Han'er helped to prepare gold sore medicine at the military doctor's office.
On the battlefield, there is no medicine that consumes more than the gold sore medicine, and it can be used up to some extent.
This is also thanks to the improvement of Su Jin's prescription, the amount of medicinal materials used is less, and the effect is stronger.
Just this one recipe has saved the court and saved many lives.
was a little tired, and when it was time for lunch, Su Jin and Qin Han'er went back to the camp.
When I left the military doctor's office, I saw those soldiers squatting outside the camp tent eating steamed buns, and the bowls were full of porridge.
Su Jin glanced at it, and his brows tightened a little.
The porridge is much lighter than a few days ago, and it is clear and visible.
"Haven't the grain and grass from the imperial court been delivered yet?" Su Jin asked.
Xing'er shook her head, "Not yet, Master Hou has already sent three letters in a row to urge." β
Fortunately, they brought silver tickets with them, and they also cheated 20,000 taels of Thursday's aunt and Sun Zhifu to buy food, otherwise the soldiers would be hungry and unable to train at this time.
Su Jin stepped into the big tent in the army, and Dongxiang Hou was asking how many days he could take care of the grain and grass.
The general in charge of the room said, "I can barely last four or five days." β
Dongxiang Hou's brows tightened.
How much grain did the imperial court send to the border passes, and they knew in their hearts that they had not sent grain and grass for so long, did they let them fight by drinking the northwest wind?
Before the grain and grass arrived, the soldiers and horses went first.
Without enough food and grass, how can this war be fought?!
Nanliang has not attacked the city in the past few days, it seems that he knows that the army is short of food and grass, and when the soldiers are out of rice and food, the soldiers are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and the city is twice the result with half the effort.
The Marquis of Dongxiang sent the King of Nan'an County and the Marquis of Beining to urge grain and grass.
The two took seven or eight officers and soldiers with them, and hurried away in the starry night.
The two of them walked in the direction of Kyoto with their front feet, and Master Zhou and Master Wei came from the other road with grain and grass on their back feet.
The king of Nan'an and the prince of the Hou of Beining rushed for two days and ran into the imperial court grain transportation team.
Far away.
A bridge on the road to the border was destroyed.
The grain convoy couldn't get through.
It takes the same amount of time to repair the bridge as it does the detour, so you can only choose to repair the bridge.
And it wasn't just the broken bridge, the road was blocked by boulders rolling down from the mountain, and it was delayed for several days.
Just blocking the way, not burning the grain and grass is already a blessing in misfortune.
Hou Shizi of Beining looked at the king of Nan'an County, "Why only block the grain transportation team, instead of directly burning the grain and grass?" β
Ask him?
Who did he ask?
The king of Nan'an looked at the grain and grass and said, "Maybe in their eyes, this batch of grain and grass is theirs." β
"The border pass can't withstand for a few days, even if my soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they can't bear the hunger."
The king of Nan'an County couldn't see the secret rubbing methods of King Qi and Chongguo Gong.
Either directly ignore the life and death of the Queen Mother, or directly live incognito and survive.
This kind of practice of not daring to risk the condemnation of the world, but only making trouble behind the scenes is really despicable, although there is no clear banner to rebel, but it is a foreign enemy!
South Liang, enemy camp.
The Southern Liang generals were in a good mood.
The Daqi military camp has already begun to buy rice in the town, which shows that the military camp has no food.
These soldiers with high training intensity have at least three or four large steamed buns at a meal, and if they don't eat for a day, they can be hungry and their legs and feet will become weak.
When the two armies are fighting, there will be detailed work in the camps of the enemy and our army, which is inevitable, but they will not have access to important secrets.
How could you miss such a great opportunity?
You must attack the city in one fell swoop and take a city in Daqi!
"Let the soldiers feed me, ready to attack the city at any time!"
The smoke from Nanliang's room soared into the sky.
The morale of the Southern Liang soldiers was also high.
The morale of Daqi here is not so sufficient.
Dongxiang Hou is even more angry.
They fought hard at the border pass, but as a result, he was careless and only cared about the border pass, and could not take care of the grain and grass.
It has only been a long time since the war began, and the grain and grass have been so difficult, and it will only be more difficult in the future.
Also, the king of Qi has the intention to rebel, and Chongguo Gong has been in charge of the government for three years, after Chonglao Guogong's accident, he can inherit the title so quickly, eliminate dissidents, and firmly hold the court in his hands, how can the means be ordinary?
He should have noticed it when he took the Flying Tiger Army to the border to transport grain.
If those grains and grasses were not prepared for the rebellion of the King of Qi, why did they deceive the court and say that there was no grain and grass, but asked the court to send money and rice for disaster relief?
What he found was only a corner, but he didn't think that behind this corner was a larger conspiracy.
Dongxiang Hou was annoyed that he was not thoughtful.
The old prince and the prince made battle plans, each of them is more powerful than the other, but when it comes to grain and grass, one is more than the other.
But they could guess that Nan Liang would not miss such a good opportunity, and told the soldiers to be vigilant.
The food first clings to the soldiers who defend the city.
Lunch was delivered, and Dongxiang Hou pinched the steamed buns.
It's a big steamed bun, but with a little force, the steamed bun can shrink by half.
Such steamed buns, you don't care if you eat five or six in one go.
Dongxianghou ate three, poured water violently, and the steamed buns melted when they met the water, which could make the stomach feel supported and weaken the sense of hunger.
With less food, the training of the officers and men in the army is also weakened, because the training will consume a lot of physical strength, which will make people feel more hungry and eat more.
Dongxiang Hou only eats so much, and after Xing'er sees it, she eats even less, and she doesn't fight.
There was little to eat, and she was weak.
Apricot fears that she will starve to death in the barracks.
"It would be nice if I could snatch Nanliang's grain," Xing'er said as she touched her belly.
The idea is good, but it's too difficult to implement.
The people of Nanliang are not vegetarians either.
Even if they would rather burn the grain and grass, they would not leave it to them.
Su Jin took a piece of pastry and handed it to Xing'er and said, "Your uncle didn't send the news back, and the situation shouldn't be bad enough." β
When there is a war at the border, how can there be a time when there is no food.
Xing'er looked at Su Jindao and said, "Doesn't the girl eat it?" β
"I'm not hungry," Su Jin said.
"Then I'm not hungry either."
As he spoke, a shout spread throughout the barracks, "Grain and grass are here!" β
Xing'er's eyes lit up, "I'll take a look." β
When the Marquis of Dongxiang heard that the grain and grass were delivered, he also walked to the gate of the barracks.
Seeing Master Zhou riding on horseback, Dongxiang Hou frowned.
This is not grain and grass sent by the imperial court.
Master Zhou turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the Dongxiang Marquis.
Dongxiang Hou patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Zhou, you have helped me a lot this time." β
Regardless of whether the grain and grass are sent or bought, the time of delivery is too important.
Dongxiang Hou Yi was happy and shot extra hard.
The one with the most powerβ
Master Zhou's arm was almost broken.
The corners of Master Zhou's eyes twitched, "I'm not a martial arts practitioner, how can I hold you like this?" β
Dongxiang Hou was overjoyed, and hurriedly rubbed it for Master Zhou.
The more you rub it, the more it hurts.
Master Zhou was afraid of him, and said, "This batch of grain and grass was sent by my in-laws, Master Wei, to apologize to the princess." β
"Apologies?" Dongxiang Hou frowned.
Master Wei trembled forward and confessed his mistake to Dongxiang Hou for his godson.
With grain and grass, Dongxianghou temporarily relieved his urgent needs, and he was in a good mood.
It's just that as soon as he heard the idea of Young Master Wei beating the Beauty Pavilion, his face sank, "It seems that the Wei family has a lot of food, and it makes Young Master Wei's stomach so big." β
Master Wei's scalp tightened.
