The group trekked hard, and under the threat of the whips of the people, they walked less than 30 miles along the official road.

Lu Jianxing rushed over and said, "My lord, it's already dark, and you need to set up camp." ”

Jia Baoyu waved his hand and asked Hua'an to command everyone to camp.

Hua'an specially chose a leeward border by the river, where you don't have to worry about being attacked at night.

Cao Youyi also sent someone over and wanted to camp with Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu politely refused.

Just kidding, it's best to bomb the camp at night, just Cao Youyi's rabble, if it really gets messy, ten cows can't stop it.

Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan and others came to Jia Baoyu's side, and Lu Jianxing said: "I only know that the army of the Great Zhou is rotten, but I didn't expect it to be rotten like this. ”

Jin Yichuan nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's no wonder that the Tatars entered the customs the year before last and could wreak havoc in the land of Gyeonggi for so long, and how many soldiers of this quality died." ”

Lu Jianxing asked, "Do we really want to fight with these people?" In the event of a real fight, if these people are defeated, they may disrupt our formation. ”

Hua An looked at the bonfire, as if recalling, "When I was under Marin, I was besieged by Nurhachi and his troops, Marin made a mistake in command, and took the initiative to attack, our army was defeated, more than 30,000 soldiers, killed and wounded, and finally only more than ten people fled to protect Marin." ”

Jia Baoyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand what you mean, we are not Marin, and the other party is not Nurhachi, as long as we stabilize the formation and fight steadily, the rogue will only be beaten." ”

Nothing happened overnight.

On the second day, the army continued its march southward, and for a whole day, the army advanced 40 miles.

On the way, many of the military households of Tianjin Wei and Tianjin Right Guard fled, and dozens of people said that they would not leave, no matter how the family whipped, they would not leave.

Cao Youyi had no choice but to cut off the heads of more than a dozen people, and the army was able to continue advancing.

Looking at Jia Baoyu's left guard again, no one spoke on the way, and all of them were solemn, like a ghost.

Li Xinjian, who was still laughing at them before, has to admit at this moment that this is a strong army.

Regardless of its combat effectiveness, Li Xinjian sighed to himself for this execution alone.

On the third day of the march, Cao Youyi personally came to find Jia Baoyu.

"Jia Qianhu, can you get some military rations? We ran out of rations we had brought. ”

Cao Youyi was thick-skinned, stretched out two fingers and said, "It doesn't take too much, 200 stones is enough." ”

200 stone is more than 30,000 catties of grain, enough for 10,000 people to eat for three days.

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have much military rations with me, so I can only give you 10 stones." ”

Cao Youyi still smiled and said: "Don't lie to me, although I don't read much, I can still see the dozens of truckloads of grain transported by your baggage soldiers, it's really not good, 100 stone is fine." ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Lord General Soldier, we are marching and fighting, we all bring our own dry food, and my grain is also bought with my own money, if you are short of food, you can go to the towns along the road to buy it, I think those grain merchants in the town are very willing to sell grain to you." ”

sent Cao Youyi away, and Li Xinjian quickly rushed over.

Coming over so late, naturally it is not a common thing, Li Xinjian went straight to the point: "Borrow 1,000 stones of grain, and when you return to Tianjin, you will return the amount." ”

Jia Baoyu almost laughed angrily and said, "Return the amount? The landlord lent the grain to the peasant households, and he had to charge interest, and I came to do charity for free?

I'm the captain of the transport brigade? ”

"So, you don't want to borrow it?" Li Xinjian's tone was cold, with a faint hint of threat.

Jia Baoyu looked into his eyes and said, "Cao Youyi just came here and said the same thing as you, guess how I answered him?" ”

Li Xinjian was stunned when he heard this.

Jia Baoyu continued: "Don't borrow! ”

"Okay, you've got it."

Li Xinjian put down a sentence and walked out of the big tent.

Li Xinjian's 100 households asked, "My lord, have you borrowed any grain?" ”

Li Xinjian said angrily: "I didn't borrow it." ”

Baihu said anxiously: "The food in the army can only last for two days at most, if there is no food, the subordinates may not be able to suppress the bullets." ”

Li Xinjian said coldly: "If you don't have food, you can grab it, and the living can still suffocate to death?" ”

When hundreds of households heard this, their eyes lit up!

That's right!

Why didn't I think that they were soldiers, and in the face of those unarmed people, it was not a matter of giving and taking.

Li Xinjian said again: "You take a sentry out of the camp quietly, don't rob it directly, just say borrow food from them, and after the battle, you will return the full amount."

Also, don't make a fuss, otherwise it will be difficult for the governor to explain. ”

Baihu was full of grabbing food at the moment, and he agreed indiscriminately, and then quickly called out to the brothers.

The group took their weapons and quietly slipped out of the camp by taking advantage of the night, and walked away on the official road when they came and went.

Yang Fu told Jia Baoyu the news as soon as possible.

Lu Jianxing said: "It's strange, this big night, they don't sleep and go back, don't they want to be deserters?" ”

Jin Yichuan said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, these days, there are fewer deserters from the two of them?" ”

"Even if they are deserters, they shouldn't leave with more than a hundred people, the sentry guarding the door will definitely be able to find out, how could Li Xinjian let them go so easily." Lu Jianxing was a little puzzled.

Hua An said with a complicated expression: "They are not deserters, they want to grab food." ”

Grab food?

Rob whom?

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jianxing and the others instantly understood.

"This group of dogs, the bandits are not active, and they still want to harm the people, this is too beastly!"

Jin Yichuan said angrily.

Li Xinjian just came to borrow grain, but was refused, and at this moment he sent troops out, he must have gone to get grain.

But now the lights are dark, the market is not open, think about it with your ass, you know who they are going to get food with.

Jin Yichuan jumped up and said: "You can't cheapen these dogs, you can't watch them scourge the people!" ”

"Sit down!"

Lu Jianxing scolded: "Everything listens to adults." ”

Everyone looked at Jia Baoyu's face, waiting for his order.

Jia Baoyu sighed and said: "We can't control this matter, you all go back, guard your camp, and never allow anyone to leave the camp." ”

Jin Yichuan was anxious: "My lord, do you just watch them rob the people's food?" ”

Lu Jianxing slapped him on the head: "How can you talk to adults?" Don't hurry up and make amends to the adults! ”

Jin Yichuan knew that he was rude, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "You should die for your humble position, please surrender your lordship." ”

Jia Baoyu waved his hand and said: "I understand your feelings, but our task is to suppress bandits, although Li Xinjian's move is inhumane, it is also something that the Great Zhou army often does, and even the emperor turns a blind eye to it."

Our strength is too weak, and if we act rashly, I am afraid that we will incur disaster.

In case our own people fight, the rogue will take advantage of the situation to enter ......"
