Chapter 736: Darkness Chen Cang

As soon as Beiying Lei left, Xu Shiji felt that something was wrong, he came too suddenly, and he walked more suddenly, which was very abnormal, Xu Shiji immediately thought of the grain and grass of the army.

Since ancient times, the three armies have not moved, grain and grass first, the supply of grain and grass of 500,000 troops is a terrifying number, and the imperial court has limited troops, if you want to win more with less, you must win by surprise, and burning grain and grass is the best way.

Jun didn't see the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was burned because of the grain and grass, and finally the army was defeated.

"Report!" Suddenly, the voice of a messenger made Xu Shiji's eyes darken.

"General, five grain and grass hoarding points of our army have been attacked, and three have suffered heavy losses!"

Everyone who was originally relieved because of the departure of Bei Ying Lei suddenly lifted their hearts again.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked the messenger: "How much grain and grass is lost!"

"Three places of grain and grass were burned!"

Cheng Biting Jin was like being struck by lightning, and suddenly the sky was dark, and the dark injury caused by the previous extreme exertion of his skills could no longer be suppressed, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Bei Minglei played well with this hand, and Ming repaired the plank road to darken Chen Cang, and burned the three granaries of Wagangzhai, which just hit their lifeblood.

Cheng Biting Jin vomited blood, making the others extremely nervous, and trying his best to treat him, Li Mi was not so lucky, he was seriously injured and unconscious, and was carried away to heal, and he didn't wake up until now.

When Cheng Biting Jin relieved himself, his angry subordinates roared:

"How does Feng Daoqian know where our army's grain and grass are stored?"

The 500,000 army, the daily consumption of grain and grass is extremely terrifying, the loss of three granaries, the existing surplus grain in Wagangzhai is only enough for five days' food, and what is more troublesome is that after the news of the grain and grass being burned spreads, it is easy to provoke soldiers to mutiny.

It was originally difficult to feed an army of 500,000 with the power of Wagangzhai, and they originally wanted to destroy the withering and decaying to take Yangzhou, capture Yang Guang, and recover Jiangnan with a great victory, and obtain grain and grass.

Most of the 500,000 soldiers in Wagangzhai were poor peasants, and they joined the peasant uprising in Wagangzhai because of the tyranny of the imperial court and could not eat.

In the temporary military tent, they are all Cheng Yanjin's own people, and it is much more convenient to speak, as soon as Cheng Yanjin asks a question, Zhai Jiao shouted:

"It must be Shen Luoyan's slut who betrayed us, otherwise how could Feng Daoqian know where our army's grain and grass were hoarded, and destroy our three granaries at once!"

It is precisely because she knows the importance of grain and grass that Shen Luoyan divided all the grain and grass in Wagangzhai into five and placed them in five secret places, and sent heavy troops to guard them, and only she knows where they are all placed.

"It's impossible for Luo Yan to betray Wagangzhai, I think it must be that Feng Daoqian used illusion to get the intelligence of our army on Luo Yan!" Xu Shiji exonerated his fiancée for the first time.

"Shen Luoyan is your fiancée, of course you speak for her!" Zhai Jiao was unconvinced.

"Alright, everyone has one less word!" Cheng Biting Jin spoke out to prevent Xu Shiji and Zhai Jiao from fighting any further.

Xu Shiji saw suspicion in Cheng Yanjin's eyes, and his heart was sad, but he couldn't think of how to crack the centrifugal plan of the Northern Thunder for a while.

"Such a powerful person, his scheming martial arts are so terrifying!"

Xu Shiji thinks about it now, Wagangzhai has completely fallen into the trap of the Northern Thunder, and from the very beginning, the Northern Thunder has never thought of killing any high-level people in Wagangzhai.

Just now, the Northern Thunder attacked the big tent in the army, but he always showed mercy to his subordinates, Li Mi, who was the most seriously injured, was not dead, and the others were also slightly injured to varying degrees, but none of them died, this must have been deliberately done by the Northern Thunder.

It is very easy for the high-level of Wagangzhai to kill the high-level of Wagangzhai, but once the high-level of Wagangzhai is attacked and killed, the 500,000 army that has lost control will bring disaster to the south of the Yangtze River, so Beiminglei is injured but not killed, on the one hand, it warns Wagangzhai, and on the other hand, it plants a seed of doubt in the hearts of everyone in Wagangzhai.

"Then Feng Daoqian only destroyed three granaries, and left two, just to give our army a glimmer of hope, so that our army will not fall into the situation of exhaustion, desperately attacking Yangzhou, and want us to retreat in the face of difficulties and withdraw our troops back!" Xu Shiji said coldly.

"Our army now has only two roads, one is to attack Yangzhou with all its strength within five days, take Jiangnan, and feed the army with the grain and grass in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River."

"The second is to withdraw from the army and return to Wagangzhai, where there is still grain and grass available!"

Cheng Yanjin slapped the armrest of the seat fiercely, and shouted angrily: "The 500,000 army is about to arrive in Yangzhou, how can there be any reason to retreat!"

"Xu Junshi, how can we attack Yangzhou, there is a granary nearby that can solve the urgent need!" Zhai Jiao asked at this time.

"The grain and grass of the imperial court should have been taken to Luoyang by Yang Lin, and now we can only take Yangzhou with all our strength, and feed the army with the grain and grass in Yangzhou City, but Feng Daoqian should also think of this, and there must be conspiracies and tricks waiting for us in front!"

Cheng Yanjin asked in a deep voice: "Is there a way to collect grain and grass near Yangzhou?"

"The local gate lords in Jiangnan must have grain and grass, but if we rashly collect it, we are afraid of angering the strong, then our army will not be able to move an inch in the land of Jiangnan!"

Zhai Jiao disagreed: "My 500,000 army is still afraid that he will not be able to succeed in a few heroes!"

When Xu Shiji heard this, he shook his head and said: "Jiangnan Haoqiang is entrenched in local forces, although we are not afraid, but once the relationship with them is stiff, pushing it to the side of the imperial court is extremely unfavorable for us to take Yangzhou."

Cheng Yanjin also understood that this was powerful, "That is to say, we must take Yangzhou within five days, otherwise we will not even be able to retreat, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our army, I suspect that Feng Daoqian has already pulled in the reinforcements of the Song lord." ”

Xu Shiji said heavily: "And we still have to solve Feng Daoqian's centrifugal plan!"

"The eldest lady suspects that Luoyan betrayed Wagang, and Li Mi will also suspect that the eldest lady has too close a personal relationship with Feng Daoqian and will betray Wagang!"

"Every word Feng Daoqian has said since he came to the big tent is actually dividing the internal relations of Wagangzhai!"

When Zhai Jiao heard Xu Shiji's words, she immediately said angrily: "The surname is Xu, what do you mean, do you suspect that I will betray Wagang with foreign enemies!"

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly and said: "Don't blame the eldest lady, I mean, Feng Daoqian's actions will arouse Li Mi's suspicions, and his purpose is the same!"

Cheng Biting Jin was not careless, and immediately reacted and said: "What Xu Junshi means is that before we attack Yangzhou, we must first appease Li Mi!"

"It must be so, Feng Daoqian's deliberate failure to burn the other two granaries also has the meaning of killing three soldiers with two peaches, and at the same time slowing down the marching speed of our army!"

Cheng Yanjin sighed and said: "What a Feng Daoqian, everything has made him think of it, just three or two people can put our army in such a dangerous situation, it is really terrifying!"

Xu Shiji nodded and said: "This person is not only terrifying in martial arts, but also unpredictable, I don't know what tricks are waiting for us in Yangzhou this time!"

Cheng Yanjin and Zhai Jiao were all silent, thinking of the haunting ability of the Northern Thunder God, and they were full of worries about the attack on Yangzhou.

At this time, Li Mi's military tent was also discussing the matter of the Northern Thunder.
