Chapter 071: Bold (I)
"My lord, are you sure it's here, why don't you see them?"
Jebel unconsciously tugged at the clothes on his body. She couldn't remember the first time she had done this since she put on the strange two-hemispherical dress that Hu Wei had given her.
Growing so big, Jebe had never worn such strange clothes. Hu Wei said that this is a new type of heart goggles, and she doesn't feel like it no matter how she looks at it. Isn't there only one heart protector on the left, and why is there one on the right? Besides, two hemispherical things can be made into two heart goggles, why did Hu Wei wear a pair of threads and let her wear them, and the place where she wore them was still so embarrassing.
"That's right, you see, it's a sign they left behind, and I think they're nearby. Hu Wei said affirmatively, and from time to time he took his eyes to look at Zhebei.
For the discovery of the first women's underwear of this era, there is still a little pride in the heart of Hu Worry. Every time he saw Jebel secretly pulling his clothes unaccustomedly, he wanted to laugh a little. It's a pity, there is really no goods on Jebe's chest, if this is replaced by Ouyang Hanbing, it will definitely be quite good. This is a more flattering feature than a belly pocket.
"Squeak!"
Hu Wei and Jebe waited for about two or three minutes, and a few bird chirpings were heard in the distance. Hu Wei smiled slightly, rubbed his fingers and blew out a code, and then found a stone to sit down.
Hu Wei sits, but Jebel doesn't sit. Although the code is correct, as a personal guard, she must always be wary of the surrounding situation.
"My lord, I can see you. I don't know what to do if I can't see you again. After Hou San saluted Hu Wei, his mouth suddenly jumped out.
Hu Wei frowned: "What, is something wrong?"
Hou San said: "Three days ago, the military headquarters sent someone to give us an order, so that the return to the city is in short supply of grain and grass, and let us get at least 10,000 bags of grain back within ten days. ”
When Hu Wei heard this order, he immediately became angry, and glared at Hou San with his eyes: "Ten thousand bags? What are you kidding, what will Lao Tzu change?" It was ordered by his grandmother. ”
Hou San took out the military order and handed it into Hu Wei's hands:
"My lord, this is the personal order of the commander of the corps, General Sumendar. The order is here, with the signature of the corps commander on it. ”
Hu Wei took the military order, looked at the order from above carefully, and suppressed his anger in his heart. Hou San is right, this is indeed Sumadar's personal order. It seems that even if you play with your life, you have to fight this time. There is no reason to talk about military orders, and there is no way to do anything but follow them.
Sighing inwardly, Hu Wei handed the order to Jebel and asked her to put it away. Then he pulled Hou San to ask Ling Guicheng about the current situation. According to Hou San's account, the war in Linggui is very tense now. The Anrong people attacked very fiercely, and the original 80,000 defenders were now only more than 40,000, almost half of which had been killed. And the food and grass are in short supply. Now the defenders have changed from three meals a day to two.
"How about Anrong, they are siege troops, they should suffer more losses, right?"
Hou San replied: "We are not very clear about the situation of Anrong, it is estimated that they should still have about 120,000 people. ”
Hu Wei was a little silent. An Rong sent 200,000 troops this time, and if there are 120,000 left, that is, 80,000 losses in battle. The Tempest Legion died 40,000 in Linggui City, and about 25,000 died in Dongdu, a total of about 65,000. Relying on the city wall, the battle damage of the two sides was so close. It seems that the army of the Mandala Empire has all rotted. Although the city defense of Linggui and Dongdu is not very good, it is advantageous after all.
Hu Wei shook his head, this battle was really miserable. It's only been a few days, and so many people have died. Relying on the defense of the city wall, they have all died so much, if they fight on the plains, I don't know how many will die. This makes Guicheng now an out-and-out meat grinder, with a large number of fresh lives dying in the swords every day.
"Is the Letong side still unwilling to send reinforcements?"
"Letong, hmph, they wish that all of our Blizzard Legion would be killed. Hou San spat and said disdainfully. Speaking of the local garrison on the side of Letong City, there is no one who does not hate the people of the Blizzard Legion. There is no war in peacetime, and the two sides quarrel even if they quarrel. But now that the army of Anrong people is coming, they are still sitting on the side watching the play.
Hu Wei also has opinions on this matter, but he can't care about it: "Forget it, this is not a problem we discuss. Let's see how we can get these 10,000 bags of grain. What do you think about this, and where are we going to get this food? ”
Hou San took out a sketch, put it on the big stone, sorted out the language, and then said: "Ten thousand bags of grain is not a small amount. In terms of time and quantity, we only have one chance. It had to be done all at once and transported back to the city. But how do we get the food back to the city, that's the biggest problem. ”
"Well, you're right. Hu Wei nodded and said: "In the past, our teams burned grain and grass on the spot, and only took a small amount for their own use. Now it is not so easy to bring food back to the city. This shipping is a big problem.
First of all, let's talk about where we got so much food. ”
Hou San replied: "It's nothing more than grabbing a part and borrowing a part from the people in the war zone." ”
Hu Wei pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't bother the people anymore." This year's natural disaster, how many people have starved to death, and the only little food they have is their only hope to survive in this troubled world. If we take theirs again, they won't be able to live. ”
When Hu Wei said this, everyone on the side nodded. The members of Hu Wei's Immortal Bird Special Combat Team are all soldiers born in the middle and lower classes. Most of them come from ordinary families. They all understand that what Hou San said about borrowing is actually no different from robbing. If such an order is carried out, then the people who were robbed will definitely not be able to live. There, if it's not good, there are relatives among them.
Hou San reminded Hu Wei: "This is the practice of the army, if we don't do this, and the idea of the Anrong Food Team alone, then our time will definitely not be in a hurry." Since I received the order, I have asked the teams to collect as much food as possible, but so far, we have only received about a thousand bags, which is too much. ”
Hu Wei waved his hand and said, "I know what you said." But the most important thing for us now is to think of ways to transport grain. Otherwise, let alone 10,000 bags, even if it is 1,000 bags, we won't be able to transport them back to the city.
The camp of the Anrong people is only ten miles away from Ling's return to the city, and it is impossible for us and Ben to transport grain from here under the noses of the Anrong people. It's not one or two hundred loads of grain, ten thousand bags, which have to be pulled by a cart. ”
The problem came back to square one, and along the way, everyone was using their brains, but until they returned to the camp, no one thought of a good solution.
In the camp, the teams that had been scattered before had all gathered back according to Hu Wei's orders. There are more than 3,200 people, and after more than 10 days of raiding Anrong logistics with the team as a unit, more than 2,500 can return here. It's better than Hu Wei expected. It seems that these people selected by the three candidates are not bad.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Hu Wei immediately summoned the captains of each team to discuss. All sorts of plans were thought up, and one by one they were all rejected. Two hours passed, and neither the source of the grain nor the method of transporting the grain could be found to be a good plan. The voices in the military tent were getting louder and louder, and there were grumpy captains, who were almost about to quarrel.
Hu Wei sat on the main seat and frowned, looking at these noisy captains in his eyes, and constantly substituting himself into various scenes in his mind. Imagine what I would do if I were Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, and Guiguzi.
"Well, what a headache. It would be nice to have a military advisor. Hu Wei sighed in his heart. Now he is a partial general, qualified to build his own government account, and has the opportunity to collect specialized materials from all aspects.
"Grandma is a bear, provoked Lao Tzu, directly led the team into the camp of the Anrong people, ran away with the food, I will see what they can do to me. Alonso of the Seventh Team yelled angrily.
A thought suddenly flashed in Hu Wei's heart, and he stood up and shouted: "Alonso, repeat what you just said." ”
