Chapter 18: There Is Such a Good Thing
In the blink of an eye, it was another seven days.
For seven days, Ye Hong could only lie on the hard bed, and with the herbs that Wang Zhi had brought, Ye Hong could walk on the ground after seven days, of course, there was some reluctance.
According to what Wang Zhi said, there are still some elixirs in this Tang army, and if those elixirs are applied to him, these injuries will be healed in three or five days at most.
It's just that what Wang Zhi said afterwards pierced Ye Hong's heart very much: "It's just that those elixirs are not for you......"
Well............
............
"Shhhh......h
Ye Hong and Guo Hu limped outside the camp tent to enjoy the summer sunshine, they have been envied by several colleagues in the past few days, but they don't know that Ye Hong would rather go to the camp than lie on the bed in pain and wait for the mold to get suny......
"Yo, why did you two come out, your legs and feet are good?"
In less than a minute, a familiar voice came, and Ye Hong and the others turned their heads to see that it was Xie Liang, the brother of the same tent.
"Ah, where did you see the two of us with good legs and feet...... Ye Hong glanced at him and complained casually.
"Hey......
A few people chatted a few more words, and another figure leaned over, also a familiar comrade, Zhang Laosan.
Although Ye Hong wanted to despise his name, it was like this in these years, there were very few literate peasants, and those who could take out a name like "Liang" were already literate.
As soon as Zhang Laosan leaned over, he glanced around anxiously, and said sneakily: "Eh, have you heard, now the grain reserves in this granary are getting smaller and smaller!"
Xie Liang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hah, no, I see that the grain in the granary is not less than before!"
"Hey, haven't you noticed that there are a lot fewer grain transport teams that have arrived recently?" Zhang Laosan was not annoyed, but explained in a low voice.
"Huh?" Xie Liang reacted at this time, it was indeed the case, and a sense of foreboding suddenly came to his heart.
They were all part of a grain transport team, and they all experienced those horse thieves, but although they sacrificed many brothers, they finally arrived in Luoyang safely, so they didn't take these horse thieves too seriously.
Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like that!
Zhang Laosan's original thoughts were no different from Xie Liang's, but when he was patrolling the camp this morning, several colleagues suddenly chatted, which made Zhang Laosan in a trance for a while.
Not all grain transport teams, like them, were able to arrive in Luoyang safely.
Therefore, he had just finished patrolling the camp, so he hurried back to share the news with Ye Hong Xie Liang and other familiar sergeants.
After hearing what Zhang Laosan said, Ye Hong immediately frowned. The reduction of food reserves in the barracks is not good news, especially for the current Tang Army, it is simply a slap in the face!
Sure enough, when Zhang Laosan said this, Xie Liang and Guo Hu both panicked!
Although they did not understand the importance of food and grass for a war, they also knew that they would starve to death if they did not have food, and immediately began a heated discussion.
Not to say that it is good, the more you talk about it, the more panicked it becomes, especially the current Tang Army, which is still under the shadow of the fruitless attack again two days ago.
Guo Hu, Xie Liang and Zhang Laosan chatted enthusiastically, but Ye Hong learned what it means to become a tiger with three people, and several people chatted and chatted, and they could talk about where they would run if the Tang army was defeated......
Although Ye Hong was faintly worried that the lack of food would crush the morale of the Tang army, which was already in a period of decline, he was just an ordinary soldier, and there were many things that he could not control.
What's more, war is a complex art, he doesn't know much about this history, and he is not a war wizard, and now there is no Zhang Liang plan to cross the bridge and ladder to help the Tang Army's current predicament.
However, with the existence of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, a group of people who have left a strong mark in history, Ye Hong always feels inexplicably relieved......
After a while of talking in their own minds, they went away and went about their own business, but the initiator of this matter was still lying in his nest, thinking what a wonderful thing he had done.
Lu lay on the bed again, in great pain on the surface, but the corners of his mouth showed a somewhat vicious smile.
He vowed to take revenge on Ye Hong and Fang Xuanling, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
On that day, an attentive sergeant in the same tent stumbled upon a lot of less baggage teams that had recently come in, and everyone thought that it was just an accident and didn't take it seriously, but Lu Youyi's eyes lit up.
Then, he began to frantically publicize the lack of food in the army, and he almost said that the army ran out of food, and tens of thousands of soldiers fled and so on, but he didn't think that publicizing this matter would not be beneficial to him.
............
At the same time, in the city of Luoyang, in the palace of the eastern capital.
"Your Majesty, the inner part of the Tang army should come to report. An old man in a black robe said hoarsely.
As soon as his words fell, a domineering voice suddenly sounded: "Oh, come so quickly, let's say, what's the good news." ”
The speaker is Wang Shichong, although he is wearing a black dragon robe at this moment, he can't stop his bursting muscles, and then put on his beard and Turkic face, this outfit looks a little abrupt inexplicably.
But the old man was obviously used to his abrupt appearance, so he just smiled, and then opened his mouth again: "That Neiying said that he hadn't had time to spread the news of the Tang Army's grain supply being cut off in the Tang Army's barracks, and the news of the Tang Army's lack of food had already spread within the Tang Army......
Wang Shichong was stunned, although he secretly sent someone to cut off the Tang army's grain supply, it was impossible for Li Shimin to be defenseless about this matter.
But it's okay, Tang Jun spread it by himself, and it also saved him trouble.
But just a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the national teacher said loudly: "However, it is only spread in the granary of the Tang Army, and among the front and middle armies of the Tang Army, it seems that the news is blocked quite well. ”
"Oh, is it just a granary?"
When Wang Shichong heard this, a trace of disappointment suddenly swept across his face, but after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea suddenly sprouted in his mind.
"National Teacher, I suddenly thought of a good idea. ”
The national teacher sighed and asked curiously, "I wonder what good ideas Your Majesty has come up with?"
"The Tang army was troubled by this news, and those soldiers guarding the granary must be panicked, so it is better to make a surprise attack on the granary, not only to burn their existing grain, but also to completely crush the morale of the Tang army!"
"If the elite of the Tang Army collapses outside Luoyang City, then from Luoyang to Chang'an, thousands of miles of fertile fields, won't they all enter my arms, hahaha!"
After speaking, Wang Shichong laughed, as if he was not surrounded by the Tang army in the city, but he surrounded the Tang army in Chang'an City, presumptuous and arrogant.
The national teacher was surprised, and then said: "But according to Neiying, the garrison of the Tang army's granary has been significantly strengthened recently, and that place is still easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is ......"
"If so, what other options are there now?"
"Li Yuan is now sitting on a land of thousands of miles, as long as he wants to transport grain, he will always find a way, and we, we only have a lonely city, if we continue to defend it so meaninglessly, no matter how strong we are defending it now, sooner or later we will become a prisoner of him Li Shimin!"
"But King Xia's reinforcements have all been assembled, and they have arrived outside the Tiger Prison Pass......!
"Dou Jiande's little old soldier, you dare to believe it, but I don't dare!"
"That's it, I've already decided, you don't need to say more!"
Wang Shichong made up his mind, but the national teacher secretly lamented that news had come from Chang'an, because the negotiations with Xue Rengao had not progressed for a long time, and Xue Rengao sharpened his sword Huo Huo, looking like a sword pointing at Chang'an, so that the indecisive Li Yuan had already thought of retreating.
It is believed that as long as it holds out for another month, unless the Tang army takes the initiative to withdraw its troops in this month, as soon as the Xia army arrives, the Zheng army will wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and the siege of Luoyang can be solved, and the strength of the Tang army will definitely be weakened......
But this Wang Shichong is still too anxious!
