Chapter 254: About Grain and Grass
On the 28th day of the lunar month of the Western Qi calendar, the frontier soldiers lured the enemy to go deeper, attacked it with secret weapons, and successfully slaughtered hundreds of thousands of enemy troops under the condition of wounding 27 people and killing one person, and the enemy commander Tuoba Hong was nowhere to be found.
The sons were brave and invincible, annihilated the remaining tens of thousands of enemy troops, pursued all the way, and not only captured the enemy's border city. The frightened defenders of the city fled in the wilderness. Our army pursued all the way, attacked directly under the next city, beat the drums of war, and the other side strictly defended and did not dare to fight.
The battle of the border city changed the situation of the two armies for many years, and Xiqi finally expanded its territory after being silent for many years.
The good news spread, and the whole country celebrated.
The country is strong and the people are strong, such a happy event, and just in time for the New Year, the people immediately took out the New Year's firecrackers, and the fireworks jumped more than the New Year.
And the name of Su Qianmu once again spread from the frontier to Maicheng, to Jicheng, to Shengjing, and to the north and south of the river with this sound of firecrackers......
Take retreat as advance, lead the divine soldiers to descend from the sky, punish the enemy's barbarian army, and raise the majesty of our Xiqi.
When the old emperor of Xiqi heard the news, the original night cough was miraculously cured, not only mentally abnormal, but also ate an extra meal, and was overjoyed, and crowned me as the general of Mouyuan, which means that he has a deep sense of foresight.
Su Qianmu's name has once again become a book tea teahouse, and it is a topic of conversation after tea and dinner.
When the new emperor Baili Tianqi heard the news, he shook his hand angrily, and threw all the Zhangyuzhen on the table of the imperial study to the ground......
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, and when I learned the news, it was already ten days later, so I can't mention it for the time being.
I stood in front of the window, looked at the laughing people, looked up at the blue sky, and finally felt that my heart, which had been blocked for a long time, was much more relaxed.
"When you get up, open the window, don't catch a cold."
Gentle words suddenly came from behind me, I closed the window, and when I turned around, I saw Xuanyuan Chen's smiling eyes.
He put the two paper bags in his hand on the table, opened them and beckoned me over, "You haven't eaten much yesterday, I'm afraid you've been hungry for a long time, come here, this is what you like." ”
A burst of fragrant smell wafted over, and immediately aroused my appetite, I strode over, Xuanyuan Chen had twisted off one of the fat legs of the roast goose, handed it to me, and said, "Na, this is the biggest, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”
I took it and took a big bite.
I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, this leg meat is delicious.
"Drink some water." He brought me another cup, and I had oil in my hand, so I took a sip of it. I don't know what is in this cup, sweet and sour, with goose legs, it is very refreshing.
I was in a good mood and was biting on the goose leg again.
"Slow down." He shook his head dotingly, pulled out his handkerchief, and wiped the grease on my lips a few times.
When I finished eating the goose legs, he pulled another roast duck wing and handed it over, twisted a piece of goose meat himself, wiped out the bamboo pot with wine, and ate slowly with me......
Full of wine and food, it is almost the end of the time.
Last night the battlefield was in disarray, and I didn't say goodbye. Su Huo and they couldn't find me, I was afraid that I would be worried, so I put on a cotton canopy, went downstairs with Xuanyuan Chen to ride a horse, and went out of the city.
Riding all the way, the wreckage of the place has been cleaned up, but the inside has turned black after the explosion, the trees have been charred into carbon, and the wind blows, "click, click......" paragraph.
Trees and so, people, naturally, needless to say.
Riding a horse, soon arrived at the new border city, Qi Lan was commanding something on the city tower, saw me coming back from a distance, and excitedly ran down the city tower and shouted, "General Su, General Su, you can be regarded as appearing, the old marshal looked for you all night, I am afraid that you have three long and two short, but they are all in a hurry." ”
I jumped off my horse and laughed, "What's the hurry, didn't I come back in good time?" ”
"It's good to be back, it's okay." Qi Lan nodded first, and then his eyes turned red, "General Su, we won a beautiful victory!" Thanks to you this time! ”
I laughed, "It's not my credit, I just came up with an idea, and you are the ones who are attacking the city." ”
This time, someone had already spread the news of my return, Su Huo sent someone over and asked him to go to the meeting hall, Qi Lan wiped the corners of his eyes, pulled out a smiling face and walked with me, and soon arrived at the place.
"Oh baby, you can be regarded as appearing, there was such a big movement yesterday, I can't find you today, but I'm in a hurry, where have you been!" The bearded General Zhu stepped up first and asked anxiously.
I said nonsense, "Yesterday, I saw the young player running from the spur, so I chased the general, and I knew that I had won, so I didn't rush back." ”
General Zhou immediately said, "Oh, they're all back, what are you yelling at her for, don't scare the baby!" ”
"I, where am I yelling, my voice has always been so loud. Besides, I'm worried! General Zhu was not happy.
General Zhou ignored him, looked me up and down, and then said, "Hey, it's really old." On that day, your baby proposed to withdraw from the army, Lao Zhou, I was the first to disagree, even if Su Shuai made a military order, I felt that he was a calf protector.
Now it seems that my old Zhou is really ignorant and almost delayed the big event. Baby, Uncle Zhou apologized to you here, if there is anything wrong, don't be careful, baby. ”
After speaking, he clasped hands, as if to make a salute.
I hurriedly held him up, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing." Dumping Mu's plan is dangerous and dangerous, and he did not say that the follow-up plan will come out, gathering hundreds of thousands of troops, guarding the border city for many years, if there is a mistake, the gains and losses are unpredictable. Everyone will be more cautious. ”
General Zhou wanted to say something, but Su Huo spoke, "Old Zhou, don't be guilty, my grandson, how can you be that stingy person, pour Mu, come, grandpa come and sit." ”
I raised my eyes to see, I hadn't slept all night, Su Huo's eyes were bloodshot, but he was in excellent spirits, his wrinkled cheeks were red, his eyes were shiny, although he tried his best to endure it, the corners of his mouth were still unconsciously curved.
He made a military order, and now that he has won so happily and captured the enemy's border city, he naturally wants to be happy. Xi Qi hadn't fought such a happy battle for many years.
I was about to go over, first I saluted Helian Yunze who was sitting on him, and then sat down under him. Everyone was seated, and some guards brought tea.
Su Huo took a sip of tea, first said some summaries, then talked about the array and other issues, and finally, talked about another key - whether to continue the siege.
Now, our army has reached another gate of the enemy, but the siege of the city is not the capture of lost territory. This border city was forced to be captured, and if it was attacked further, it would be an invasion of the land.
Although it will be outside, the monarch's order will not be affected, but such a major event as expanding the territory has to be the nod of Emperor Xiqi, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
Everyone nodded yes, and agreed that they should be stationed first, and after a few days, the news from the Shengjing side was approved, and they were studying whether to continue the siege.
But if it's stationed, the problem comes again.
The last time the enemy attacked and burned all the grain and grass of the Western Qi army, although His Majesty urgently allocated some, but the quantity was not much, and the grain and grass were almost gone, but the second batch of grain and grass had not yet arrived.
I thought that there would be an inch of grain in the enemy's border city, but who knows, their grain and grass warehouse is also empty.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.
Whether or not to continue the siege, food and grass are a big problem.
And the bigger problem is that the current grain storage can only last for two days......"
Helian Yunze frowned and said, "If you can raise food on the spot, it would be good, and it would be able to solve the urgent need." ”
General Zhou shook his head and said, "This is simply impossible, but not to mention that there is no surplus salary in the army, even if there is, where can so much grain and grass be raised." Our second batch of grain will not arrive for half a month, and there will be no time in the middle, but how can we boil it. ”
"Well, that's a big problem."
"Yes, now that there is no green and yellow, there is really no way except to wait for food."
"Why don't we reduce our grain reserves? Maybe it can be delayed for a few days. ”
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, delaying for a few days is okay, delaying for half a month, that's not at all."
Everyone, you and I are all sad.
Su Huo stared for a long time, and then asked me, "Dumping Mu, what can you do about the matter of grain and grass?" If so, speak up and listen to it.
