The night was cold and heavy, and it was already midnight when Murong Yan returned to the camp, and the generals in the camp who defended the camp came out to greet him.

"There is nothing to do today, strengthen the vigilance as usual, send out all the sentry horses that can be sent out, and the old man must be the first to know about any wind and grass within thirty miles! And also...... Send someone to squeak with Yang Dudu, asking him to strengthen the defense of the Yanbei front, not to rush in, and not to let the enemy cross the Great Wall...... Your Majesty is supervising the battle in Yanmen, and you must be extremely careful! ”

"Yes!"

"Also, is the grain and grass ready? Plenty of weapons? What is the morale of the soldiers? ”

Murong Yan walked to his tent and asked questions repeatedly, and the generals and soldiers who were asked were all sweating on their backs, and they were all serious, but fortunately, they were very well prepared, so they took out the rhetoric and rules that had been prepared for a long time.

"Qi Qi Zuoxiang, the grain and grass have been prepared at noon today, which is enough for my army to chew for three months, and five grain camps have been set up to be guarded separately in case of accidents! Now our army has 28,672 horses, 40,000 pairs of armor, and countless lances, ring knives, bows, crossbows, and arrows...... Although the weather is bitterly cold, the morale is still high and you can fight the enemy! ”

"How's the wounded?"

The generals looked at each other and said: "The weather is too cold, and there are often sergeants who have a little deviation in their physique and cannot tolerate cold who freeze to death silently while on duty in the middle of the night, and there are many people who suffer from frostbite, including more than 600 people who are lightly injured and 43 people who are seriously injured......"

"Why is it that the more you take precautions, the more serious the situation is?" Murong Yan turned his head sharply, his gaze scanning over these people.

Zuo Xiang's attitude was obviously to be held accountable, and they had to come up with an explanation, so they stubbornly said: "Zuo Xiang, first, the weather is too cold, our army has often been fighting outside in recent months, and the measures taken to protect against the cold are really inadequate, and second, the ...... Second, many of the soldiers were newly recruited and didn't prepare too many warm clothes......"

"Didn't the imperial court send out a lot of supplies and camp them in Pingcheng for war? Is there no clothing among them, and soldiers are allowed to fight in thin shirts and armor? Could it be that someone embezzled military funds? ”

Murong Yan sneered, if someone really dared to go to this point, no matter if he was born with that prominent general, he would definitely be cut by a thousand cuts! It's just that the expressions of these people are a little wrong, so they shouted: "It's better to report it truthfully!" ”

This sound shook the snow on the top of the tent, and one of the soldiers also shook it, and immediately said: "No, it's just that the road is too rugged, and the manpower is limited, so we can only give priority to ensuring that the grain and grass are ready first, and the delivery of clothes is much slower......"

"I don't care what you do, in five days...... No, in three days, I have to see enough laundry arrive. Murong Yan spoke very slowly, but every word could not be refuted. Joining the army with a bitter face, thinking to himself that he was really unlucky, where is the time for three days? Don't sleep?

But this is a major matter related to his own head, he doesn't dare to discuss it with Murong Yan, maybe this strong-tempered old man will directly slaughter him! So he immediately answered, hurriedly took a few people on fast horses, and took advantage of the night to flee for his life as if he was going south.

Murong Yan snorted, and several generals facing him lowered their heads one after another, not daring to breathe. Old man Murong then ordered: "Pass the order, some of them have brought multiple sets of winter clothes, keep one for themselves, and hand over the rest and distribute them to the soldiers who don't have thick clothes to wear...... Don't take advantage of it, tell them patiently, just say that the old man guarantees that the court owes them, and they will first pass the difficulty in front of them! ”

"Yes!"

Murong Yan said everything he should have said, and he didn't want to talk nonsense just to seek peace of mind, making decisions in front of his subordinates was also a means to appease people's hearts, letting them know that the coach had his own plans in his heart. A soldier is a bear, a nest of bears, the coach is stable, and the people's hearts can be determined! If you don't speak, you can't talk too much, but at the end of the point, they have a sense of security, so they waved their hands and said:

"Okay, that's all, you guys retreat, Duan Decao stays!"

Murong Yan opened the curtain, stepped into his camp tent, lit a fire, stretched out his hand to bake it, rubbed his hands again, and let out a cold breath, and between his eyebrows, there was a sense of anger: "The rats are incompetent, the mediocre ministers mislead the country, and this kind of goods that can't support the wall are indispensable there......"

"If there is a shortage of manpower, we can only give priority to the delivery of grain and grass, and this kind of can only coax a three-year-old child who doesn't know anything. If it weren't for someone embezzling military funds behind his back, the old man would chop off his head! These unscrupulous things! ”

Murong Yan's eyebrows were full of anger, this kind of thing happened at a time like this, it was simply unbelievable, there were hundreds of thousands of troops defending the northern frontier, and all of them pinned their heads to their belts and were ready to play with the Turks, but some dignitaries and nobles behind were desperately pulling their hind legs behind. Don't they know that on such a cold day, people will die without winter clothes?!

"Zuo Xiang is angry first, but these people's brains are like paste, and they can't be carried clearly, even if Zuo Xiang you pursue it at this time, you can't help them, they have their own scapegoats to push out. It's better to press it first and talk about it later. ”

"Your temper is really similar to your father Duan Xiaoxian," Murong Yan inexplicably shifted the artillery fire to him, and said: "It's all good gentlemen, except for showing a sense of existence when fighting, the rest of the things will follow them, turn a blind eye to one eye, turn big things into small things, and turn small things into small things, and in the end everyone is happy, right?" It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Six Towns are getting more and more sloppy when they fight, and they only know that they want money for death! ”

Duan Decao heard him criticize his father, so he wanted to speak out, but when he remembered the strict military law, he endured it stubbornly, but he had a blue face and didn't say a word the whole time, so the old man could just say it happily!

"If you don't do your job well and are greedy for money, what kind of battle can a general fight?" Murong Yan said coldly: "Today I spared them first, you go and find out who is behind this first, the old man will definitely join him!" ”

"Forgiveness will be a fate!"

Murong Yan looked back at this kid and was silent. Duan Decao said: "The last general is a general, he should march and fight, and he should not be confined to such affairs. ”

"But I didn't see how beautiful you fought ......," Murong Yan said coldly.

Duan Decao's face was full of black lines, but he couldn't make a sound. After a while, Murong Yan made a gesture to stop the matter and said:

"It's okay, if you don't want to, forget it, anyway, these Six Towns Lords will kill themselves sooner or later, I don't hate corrupt officials and mediocre officials, I only hate the incompetent, and the whole army will be exhausted by incompetence. I knew what they were more than 20 years ago......"

"Six Towns, how many more can you fight now? Emperor Wen Xuan sent nearly 200,000 troops to prepare to annex the Southern Dynasty, but Chen Baxian defeated the whole army and fled in embarrassment. "Thinking about it now, Murong Yan is still angry," ...... At that time, the whole army was defeated and fled, and the king of Qinghe ran away, leaving me to guard in Yingcheng City, in fact, it was to give them the queen ......"

"Hou Yao, that old boy really looks up to me, the land and water armies surround our army, and there are several miles of flags lined up, and the rivers are blocked! Everyone was afraid, Lao Tzu had to pretend to be a ghost, so he calmed down people's hearts, and then opened the city gate, looked for Hou Yao desperately, and won.

"Immediately Hou Yao brought people to surround me again, it was really difficult at that time, these bastards said when they left, they would come to save me, I guarded for a long time, the city ran out of food, I took the soldiers to eat leaves, wild vegetables, boots, belts, these things, I wanted to eat people, these dogs didn't even have the courage to come over, so I was so dangerous that I was guarded, and when I went back, my hair was all white!"

Murong Yan pointed to his completely white hair and said indignantly: "It is very important to find a qualified boss to fight side by side with Paoze, and you must strictly guard against those who may hold you back!" A lot of times these stupid pigs do stupid things that they don't know and think they're smart! ”

"The old man talks so much, not for anything else, just to let you know, every detail can't be ignored!"

Duan Decao knew that he was teaching himself, and he was also a little moved in his heart, and Fang Cai's dissatisfaction disappeared. However, he thought about it for a while, and after a long silence, he spoke: "Zuo Xiang doesn't seem to have the intention of attacking the whole army. ”

Otherwise, why is the battle on the Western Front all on the defensive? You can't stop fighting when it's cold, right? Murong Yan was stunned and said, "It depends on the situation, wait for Gao Baoning's news." ”
