Taihu Lake.

The battle rumbled, and the attack was set off again, tugging at everyone's hearts.

Looking into the distance, Xie Cheng looked sad, more than half a month had passed since the day of the first battle between them and the Huaxia Army.

And in this half a month, the other side has not stopped, or in the morning, or in the evening, they will launch an attack on them, so that all the soldiers in the city are exhausted, can only barely go into battle to resist, the number of dead has already exceeded a thousand, and the remaining people, seven or eight out of ten are also mostly injured, if there are no reinforcements, the destruction of the city is just around the corner.

"Alas. When will this situation be over?"

Thinking about all this, Xie Cheng walked down from the position, and his heart was heavy, which made him feel uncomfortable and didn't know how to deal with it.

After all, the other party is not a mediocre talent, then Lu Wenhuan defended Xiangyang alone for six years, so that Ah Shu tried his best to cut off the support before he failed, and that Zhou Cheng was a brave general who went deep into the enemy camp to capture Handan, both of them are famous generals in the world, with his current situation, it is really difficult to fight.

Walking through the city, a noisy quarrel in the distance attracted the attention of Xie Cheng, and under the condensed gaze, he saw that in front of the temporary quartermaster office in the distance, hundreds of soldiers were surrounded, and those soldiers were all emotional and looked like cannibalism.

Seeing this situation, Xie Cheng suddenly became angry, and thought: "It's all like this now, these bastards are still arguing here, do you think the situation is not bad enough?"

Full of resentment, Xie Cheng walked up directly and shouted at the soldiers: "What are you doing? Isn't it annoying to be arguing around here?"

When all the soldiers heard this, they were all very annoyed, and turned around to ask who was scolding, but immediately noticed that it was Xie Cheng.

They were startled, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "It turned out to be General Xie." Seeing Xie Cheng patrolling around him, they hesitated even more, their eyes wandered around to avoid the other party's gaze, and they lowered their heads and said: "This, we are also forced to do this, otherwise, where would we do such a thing?"

"Hmph. ”

Xie Cheng snorted lightly and scolded sharply: "You also know that this matter is not good, so why is it noisy? Is it possible that you have to let me go to the criminal law before you are willing to give up?"

Although he was annoyed, Xie Cheng also knew that the soldiers under his command would definitely not have acted like this if it weren't for the reason, and even if he was curious, he wanted to know what the reason was that made these soldiers so angry.

Shocked by this, all the soldiers hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Xie Cheng with a pleading face: "General, why are you also suffering." Otherwise, who wants to make noise here?" The others also hurriedly walked up, saying something like "withholding food", "corruption", "no food", etc., in short, thousands of people and thousands of words together, not to mention how noisy the scene was, and even more so that Xie Cheng felt a headache when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Silence me. ”

Xie Cheng suddenly felt uncomfortable and drank it in the air.

All the soldiers were shocked and stopped talking, and the whole scene was quiet again.

Xie Cheng was relieved, and then cheered up and complained: "You say it one by one, don't be in a hurry." Otherwise, how would I know what's going on?"

"I'll understand. ”

was explained to such a drink, and everyone also closed their heads one after another, expressing their understanding, and then pushed out a person and said to Xie Cheng: "General Qiyu." It's not that we have the intention to violate military discipline, but that guy is so disgusting that he actually used this thing instead of food and burned it for us to eat. Immediately, someone came with a bowl of porridge and brought it to Xie Cheng.

Xie Cheng looked at it and was annoyed: "Branches?"

I saw that in the enamel bowl, there was a bowl of hot porridge, although it was hot porridge, but there were only dozens of rice grains in it, which was similar to hot soup, and the most important thing was that in this porridge, there were also some branches and leaves, the branches were sinking and floating, and it looked particularly conspicuous.

How can people eat this kind of hot porridge?

"That's right. And he took the root of this old tree and used it to make porridge for us to eat. You said that if we only eat this thing, can we fight against the Huaxia army?" the man replied angrily, and all the soldiers also replied together: "That's right. We wouldn't eat this thing even if we fed it to pigs, but the guy cooked it for us to eat, how could we stand it?"

When Xie Cheng heard this, he was naturally annoyed, looked sideways at the quartermaster, and scolded, "Is this true?"

"This, General Qiyu, we are also forced to do so. ”

The quartermaster looked ashamed, then shook his head, a look of chagrin on his face.

Xie Cheng's face sank, and he scolded directly: "Even if this is the case, then you will give this thing to the soldiers to eat? In my opinion, it is clear that you are corrupt and pervert the law, greedy for our army's food and grass." Someone, drag him down and behead him!" The quartermaster was frightened, immediately knelt on the ground, and begged: "General, I don't have it, General." However, no matter how much he struggled, he could not get rid of the soldier's arms, and was dragged straight down.

Seeing the quartermaster being dragged down, Xie Cheng also felt a little relieved, and said to the soldiers: "That person has been solved by me, so let's disperse,"

"But the General. This porridge?"

There were still soldiers full of doubts, and handed the porridge that had slowed down the branches to Xie Cheng's eyes.

Xie Cheng's face darkened, and then said, "Don't worry, I will naturally help you solve it." After getting the positive news, many soldiers also dispersed, but Xie Cheng was still full of doubts in his heart, thinking: "What is going on with this porridge?"

After all, in normal times, this porridge can't be said to be rich, but it can basically meet the needs of everyone, as if it is the first time that a tree branch has been added today.

With doubts, Xie Cheng returned to the mansion, and called Zhang Rongshi, who was in charge of the logistics work, and complained: "Tell me, what happened to the grain, and why did you mix branches in the porridge?"

"This ......"

Zhang Rongshi suddenly looked embarrassed, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Xie Cheng saw it in his eyes, and suddenly became scared in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"General Qiyu! I don't know what happened recently, the grain truck that was supposed to send supplies the day before yesterday has not come to this day, so the army is short of food, so I have to replace it with something like a tree branch. Zhang Rongshi knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to reply calmly.

"Is that so?"

Xie Cheng was stunned, thinking about the quartermaster who was killed, his face suddenly darkened, and at this moment, there was also a person walking outside the door, holding a lacquer plate in his hand, and on the lacquer plate was the quartermaster's head.

Zhang Rongshi looked at this person's head and sighed silently: "Alas. He's also a good person, it's just a pity. ”

The previous riot was too serious, and Xie Cheng was anxious to appease the soldiers, so he had to put all the blame on this person, or let the soldiers make trouble, and he didn't know what would happen.

Looking at this person's head, Xie Cheng's face darkened, and he waved his hand and said: "Burying him thickly can be regarded as repaying him for his kindness to pacify the army." The man took the command to withdraw, and departed.

"So what is Fan Wenhu doing?"

Thinking of all this, Xie Chenghu raised his voice and opened his mouth to scold: "Has he forgotten that this place was personally ordered by Marshal Boyan and asked us to keep it." He hasn't even sent food until now? If the marshal's plan is ruined, will he be able to bear it?"

If it weren't for the fact that Fan Wenhu delayed the time and caused the food to be delivered for a long time, why would the army have caused these things, and why would he have wrongfully killed the quartermaster?

"I had some doubts about this, so I sent spies early in the morning to inquire about the reason. If time is concerned, the spies should have returned long ago. Zhang Rongshi persuaded from the side.

Xie Cheng felt a little relieved, but when he thought of Fan Wenhu's usual behavior, he immediately gritted his teeth and scolded, "If that's the case, it's good." It's just that if this matter is really done by that Fan Wenhu, then even if I fight for my life, I will bring down this person. ”

Those who are full of bad feelings towards Fan Wenhu are not only Gao Gao, Lu Wenhuan and others, but also their colleagues who work with him.

At this moment, there was a knock outside the door, and as the door opened, a person walked into the hall.

Zhang Rongshi's face was happy, and he quickly explained: "It was the spy I sent earlier. ”

"Oh, then I have to ask, what happened to Tongcheng?" Xie Cheng was worried about the incident in Tongcheng in the distance, and quickly stood up, and the two walked in front of the spy together.

The spy hurriedly bowed down: "The two generals of Qiqi have finally escaped safely without dishonoring their lives." ”

"Run?"

When Xie Cheng heard this, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what did you encounter in Tongcheng?"

"This-"

The spy looked sad, as if he was surprised why Xie Cheng was here.

Zhang Rongshi persuaded from the side: "Don't worry, the general is also worried about your safety." Tell me quickly, what happened to you in Tongcheng to make such a mess?"

"Alas. ”

The spy sighed, and then said: "General Qiyu, don't hide it, that Tongcheng is no longer ours. ”

"What does that mean?"

Xie Cheng was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked.

The spy replied, "Literally." Just five days ago, the Huaxia Army suddenly appeared, and Fan Wenhu and the others were unable to resist and were killed by that Gundam. And that Tongcheng was also occupied by the Huaxia army. ”

"Tongcheng is occupied?"

When he first heard the news, he was struck by lightning, and he only felt that the heavens and the earth were in turmoil, and he almost fell to the ground.

Zhang Rongshi was also full of surprise, looked at the spy deadly, and complained: "Is this news true?"

"That's right. ”

Faced with the questioning of the two, the spy shook his head helplessly and confessed.

Excited by this news, Xie Cheng only felt a surge in his chest, vomited a few points of blood with a "poof", his face was extremely pale, and there was only one thought left in his mind: "Tongcheng is gone, so what should we do?"
