"Life and death are determined, why should you be sad for me? Don't you know my skills? Don't worry, I won't die so easily. Ye Ziyi smiled, wiped the tears from the corners of Mei Niang's eyes, and said warmly. "Go, I've entrusted you with the most important person, don't let me down. ”

"Yes. Mei Niang nodded, bowed to Ye Ziyi, and walked out of the room step by step, the tears on her face wiped and wiped, until her face was flushed, standing at the door, Mei Niang looked at Ye Ziyi very reluctantly for a while, biting her lips and slowly knocking on the door.

Looking at the empty room, Ye Ziyi turned around and picked up the jade pendant on the couch, spread it in the palm of her hand and looked at it for a while, hesitated slightly, and put it into her treasure bag.

......

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the night of September, has brought a little bit of autumn coolness, under the reflection of the bright light, the camp tent between the mountains and forests is faint, and the flat ground under the forest is like a water wave spreading into a piece of tents, the number is so large that it is staggering.

At this time, it was already the third watch, and the tent of the Chinese army commander under the reflection of the campfire was bright, and in the military tent, Xu Ling, whose face was black and yellow, was obviously thin, and knelt behind the couch on the left with a stack of silk books, with a solemn face.

"Two sons, I have just settled with the arithmetic, except for the military rations lost when crossing the Qinglong River, and now after deducting today's military consumption, our grain and grass are only enough for five days. ”

Gongzi Cheng and Gongzi Tang, who were sitting in the first seat, glanced at each other, and Gongzi Tang frowned. "Hasn't the grain and grass arrived? Have the people sent to investigate come back?

"The people on the waterway came back and said it was ......" Xu Ling put down the silk book in his hand, and said with some embarrassment. "Yes, the grain and grass in the capital were detained by the Xiang clan's henchmen, and Mrs. Liang was still circling, and she didn't know when it would be transported to Wei. ”

"It's Xiang again!" Gongzi Tang patted the case and said hatefully. "In the end, they still got a chance to intervene and get in the way, damn it!"

Mrs. Liang let the word say, the Xiang family refused to put grain and grass on the grounds that the autumn harvest was not in time, and the storage was insufficient, Mrs. Liang and Da Sima had been circling in the capital for a long time, and now the people in the Xiang clan promised in front of the king that the grain would be released out of Beijing immediately after the autumn harvest in October, and the king would ...... It has been promised. Alas......" Xu Ling said, brushed his sleeves and sighed, lowered his head and shook his head.

"What?!You say, the king has answered?" Gongzi Tang stood up with a bang, and said angrily. "How can my father listen to the slanderous rumors of those villains? After a month, a month, is there still a Qi army? What does he think about the life and death of the soldiers!!"

"Brother Wang, be cautious!" Gongzi Chengduan sat behind him and asked Xu Ling with a cold face. "How's our spare food and grass?"

Xu Ling sighed and replied. "The man who was sent to pick him up has returned, and the food and grass are ...... It was intercepted and burned. ”

"What?!" Childe Soup's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth. "How did this Xiang do so decisively?"

"They want to put their son to death!" Xu Ling was also helpless and sighed. "Childe, you still have to find a way to raise food, if not, you can only attack Weidu as soon as possible!"

"After a few days of fighting, the army has long been exhausted, and now it is time to rest, and it cannot move for the time being. Gongzi Cheng closed his eyes and said with his eyebrows condensed. "Tomorrow, when people are looking for new wild vegetables to fill the army rations, they will immediately send people to the cities that have been captured to carefully search the granaries and rice warehouses to solve the urgent need. ”

"Cheng Gongzi, this is not a long-term solution, our army has 100,000 people, so after a few days of rest, there will be no food to fight the enemy!" Xu Ling looked at Gongzi Cheng and Gongzi Tang with a worried face. "Two sons, an army of 100,000, can consume 1,000 quintals of grain a day, even if there are granaries to be found in those abandoned cities, it is also a drop in the bucket!"

The three people in the tent were silent, and Gongzi Tang sat back on the couch with star-like eyes, full of anxiety.

"There's no going back. Gongzi Cheng opened his eyes, and his cold eyes swept towards the stack of silk books in front of Xu Ling, and said lightly. "Pass the order, and three days later, take Tong Yuan and attack Wei Du directly!"

"Yes. Xu Ling knew that there was no good way to solve the dilemma, and he didn't say much, so he should have given it up.

"Ah Cheng, if not, how about letting the soldiers have one meal a day?" Gongzi Tang looked at Gongzi Cheng who was sitting upright, and said resolutely. "From tomorrow, I will eat with all the soldiers, one meal a day!"

"No, let's hold off for the time being, and see if we can find the grain depot, the soldiers are rushing to fight, and they can't kill the enemy on an empty stomach. Gongzi's dark eyes turned and said lightly. "Don't spread the word about this for now. ”

"Yes. Xu Ling responded, looked up at Gongzi Cheng and hesitated. "If there is no food to be found, Childe, how shall we deal with it?"

"Everything, let it be at ease. Gongzi Cheng's cold gaze swept towards Xu Ling, and his voice was still light and waveless. "If there is no food and grass to continue, you can only raid nearby, slaughter the city and plunder the grain, we have no way to retreat, retreat is to resist the order, only to capture the Wei capital, capture the King of Wei can live!"

"Ah Cheng, if that's the case, don't you want to bear a bloodthirsty notoriety?" Gongzi Tang shook his head and waved his hand to stand up, paced a few steps in the tent, and frowned. "No, never, you are the saint of my Great Qi, and you are also the future Qi Jun, this infamy should be borne by me!"

"I am the commander of the first army, and Brother Wang only obeys orders. Gongzi Cheng didn't look at Gongzi Tang, and instructed Xu Lingdao. "Let's go and arrange it, let Liang Chao take someone to do it. ”

"Yes. In addition to Ling, he withdrew from the big tent, and only Gongzi Tang and Gongzi Cheng were left in the tent.

As soon as the tent curtain was put down, Gongzi Tang, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately ran to Gongzi Cheng and sat down, and said hurriedly. "Ah Cheng, after we captured the city, we have already emptied the granary, Ah Chao and they went, how could they find food?"

"Ah Chao is still young, and there are some things that he is not suitable to see. Gongzicheng's dark eyes stared at the curtain and said in a low voice. "If it is difficult to sustain the food and grass in the city, you can only feed on people. ”

"What?!" When Gongzi Tang heard this, he only felt sick to his stomach, and he opened his eyes wide to look at Gongzi Cheng's voice trembling slightly. "Ah Cheng, you, you really want to ......"

"In this battle, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, Brother Wang thinks that if these 100,000 troops are defeated, can they still return to Qidi?" Gongzi Cheng turned his head sideways and looked at Gongzi Tang Dao. "Do everything and obey the destiny of heaven, if we don't lose the grain ship halfway, these tricks of the Xiang clan are useless, Brother Wang, if you don't do extraordinary things, these 100,000 Qi pawns are afraid that they will all be buried in Weidi." ”

Childe Tang thought about it, hung his head, and sighed. "Isn't it the sky that is going to kill you and me?"

"Now, I can only obey the will of God. Gongzicheng stood up and walked out of the tent slowly, he stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his back, and his clothes almost melted into the night around him.

The sky was clear, the moon and stars were sparse, the wind at the end of summer was cool, and it was extremely comfortable to hit people's faces, and the barracks were very quiet, and no human voices could be heard, except for the sound of cicadas and frogs in the distance, as if no one was in a land.

Gongzicheng raised his head, looked at the dark blue night sky, and looked at the shining Big Dipper in the sky, his eyes slowly filled with longing.

He hadn't seen her for a few months since Ah Ye, who beat him, out of the capital, and he used to train soldiers and couldn't see her, but now, he wanted to see her but couldn't.

Gongzicheng raised his hand and touched his neck, stroking the shallow shape of the gold chain raised under his clothes, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"Ah Ye, wait for me. ”

The night breeze blew through the broken hair on the sideburns of Gongzi, brushed his innocent face, the stars flashed in the sky, the four fields were as lacquered as ink, and everything seemed to have not changed since eternity.

......

The sun was clear, the sky was clear, and the sun shone on the flat camp, reflecting a dazzling light, like the surface of the water.

In the gray-yellow camp tent, Gongzi Cheng sat in black clothes behind several cases, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he looked at the Jinya Holy Decree on several cases with a calm face, and the cold light in his dark eyes was as straight as an ice sword.

"Childe, the king wants us to die!"

"Yes, Childe, now the king doesn't pull out the grain and grass, and says that we are passive and sluggish, this, isn't this forcing us to die?"

"yes, yes......"

......

There were seven or eight people standing in the military tent, all of them were bloody men, and two of them were already stamping their wrists and feet after speaking, and their faces were red and purple with anger.

"Childe, it is the people of the Xiang clan who came to announce the decree, how to send it down, please show Childe!" Xu Ling, who was standing at the head of the right side, bowed his hand, and there was already murderous intent between his words.

Gongzi Cheng rolled up the holy decree and put it aside, and said to Xu Ling. "Don't pay attention to him, how is the inventory of weapons and grain?"

"The weapon has been liquidated, and there is no obstacle to the side, but this arrow...... I'm afraid it's not enough. Xu Ling said, took out a silk book from his sleeve, held it in both hands, put it down a few days before the son completed the case, and returned to his original position. "Childe, please take a look. ”

"Childe, that little official has been calling outside for a long time, shouting for us to leave quickly, he can go back on a business, I'm sorry!" A middle-aged warrior glared at him, and said angrily. "Damn, I really want to cut him with a sword!"

"That kind of villain, what should he do? Killing him is a fart! The king doesn't have to find a son, right?" said a young man next to the warrior. "Our battle is really embarrassing!"

"Well, I'll meet this villain. Gongzi Tang stood up and walked out of the tent with a calm face.

"Okay, let's go down and take charge of the battalions, and prepare to pull out the camp and go to Sicheng tomorrow. Gongzi Cheng waved his hand, frowning slightly.

"Yes. Everyone bowed back, and at this moment, a messenger hurriedly entered the tent and bowed to Gongzicheng.

"Childe, there is a young man who calls himself Ye outside the camp, please see, this person has a lot of goods, saying that he is here to deliver food to Childe, the little ones don't know what to do with it, please ...... Childe" Before the pawn finished speaking, Childe stood up at once, and walked out quickly without looking at the pawn.

Outside the camp tent the neighing of horses, the soldiers were methodically dispatching left and right, seeing Gongzicheng walking with his hair draped, the soldiers bowed down and saluted, Gongzicheng didn't care about everyone, and walked straight towards the wooden gate outside the camp.
