Chapter 672: Unbearable (I)
Qin Yu ordered to improve the food, and all the soldiers in the audience cheered excitedly, only Murong Ying was serious on the side, with a hint of "displeasure" in her confusion, ready to step forward to "question" Qin Yu......
"Captain of the cooking-" Qin Yu handed over the leader in charge of the cooking to his side.
"Yes, General—" the captain of the cooking reassured.
"Take the gang to put the beef behind the granary into the pot, and treat the brothers well tonight-" Qin Yu also said in a bold tone.
"Okay, General—" The captain of the cooking was also very excited, and he was so excited that he led his men to the back of the granary......
"Brother Qin......" After a long while, Murong Ying slowly walked up to the stage, looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled expression and asked.
Qin Yu seemed to know Murong Ying's "intention", or he had other intentions, so he deliberately didn't glance at it, and pretended to be casual with a smile on his face, looking at the generals in the audience......
"Brother Qin, what the hell are you ......doing here," Murong Ying said with a hint of unease, "What are you going to do here......
Qin Yu smiled slightly, and finally turned his head back and asked, "What 'what are the plans'......?"
Murong Ying pursed her lips and continued, "You are too strange today...... A good siege strategy was actually changed to training an ambush, and even if the training was done, it was still under the nose of the enemy...... Even if all of this makes sense, ...... But what's the matter with improving the food tonight?"
"Improving the food is to reward the soldiers - today the soldiers are tired from training for a day, and rewarding them with good food can unite the morale of the soldiers, is there any problem?" Qin Yu continued to ask with a smile.
"It's just a day of training, and it's a bit exaggerated to treat yourself with such a good meal......" Murong Ying continued to say uneasily.
"What kind of exaggeration is this? It can inspire the morale of the soldiers. This is what a general of an army should do......" Qin Yu continued to say calmly, as if he had an incomparable grasp of a certain aspect in his heart.
"But it's not like you—" Murong Ying's eyes hesitated. He was even a little disappointed in Qin Yu, and his tone changed in a daze. "As a divine general, shouldn't you gallop on the battlefield and kill the enemy with might? What's more, General Xu Da issued a military order to let you take Jinan within seven days...... Two days have passed, not only have you not made any progress at all, but now you are still 'enjoying Antu' here with all the soldiers, I am very ...... I...... I...... I can't understand ......" Murong Ying wanted to say, "I'm disappointed", but I felt that I was a bit serious about it, and I couldn't make a decision based on my own glance. So he hurriedly changed his words.
However, Qin Yu's expression remained the same, as if he had consumed the aura-like spirit of the majestic "Divine Power General" on weekdays, and became leisurely and uncaring, which really made people suspicious...... Qin Yu still smiled calmly, looked at Murong Ying's solemn expression for a moment, and then said slowly: "Don't doubt it, believe me Sakura......"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Ying remembered this morning again. Qin Yu's words to remind him......
(in recall)......
When Qin Yu saw Murong Ying, he remembered Murong Fei's entrustment in Nangong Jun's letter, and he couldn't help but be sure in his heart...... Qin Yu smiled at Murong Ying and nodded, and then said an inexplicable word: "Sakura." I came up with a plan, but ...... Sakura-chan, can you promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?" Murong Ying also asked with doubts, she had never seen Qin Yu ask in such a tone.
Qin Yu said softly, "Sakura-chan." If I do anything strange in the next few days, can you not doubt me. Lead the whole army to fully carry out the order?"
When Murong Ying heard this, her eyes couldn't help but be stunned......
(In reality)......
Murong Ying thought of this scene. His eyes were hesitant, and he muttered, "Brother Qin, you have a strange behavior...... What the hell are you planning......"
While Murong Ying was muttering to herself, Qin Yu had already turned around and left. Although she was puzzled and uneasy, Murong Ying still decided to wait and see what Qin Yu was planning to do, she believed that Qin Yu would not do such a "strange thing" for no reason......
Xu Da tent ......
"What, transfer beef from the grain camp to the front line?" At night, Xu Da received the news from the front line of Qin Yu's troops, and heard that meat was eaten in the army as a reward, so he asked in surprise.
"Yes, General, those beef ingredients are extremely precious, but Qin Yu relied on the name of 'Hussar Pioneer' to call almost all the meat ...... in the army," said the general who came back to report.
Xu Da was determined, and continued to ask without emotion: "Then how is General Qin's siege today?"
The general continued to report: "General Hui, today Qin Yu only led his troops to practice in the camp for a day, and there was no sign of siege-"
"What, there is no siege?" Xu Da was even more surprised when he heard this, "Seven days of military orders, this is the second day, and General Qin actually didn't take half a action?"
"Yes, general-" The general took the lead in response, and then his eyes changed, and he expressed his opinion, "General, according to what the last general saw, this Qin Yu relied on his prestige as a 'divine general', and took over military power on the front line, not only did he not lead his troops to attack, but also accompanied the generals and soldiers to covet pleasure, how can such a person be trusted? General, it is better to remove Qin Yu from his vanguard position, and change the other generals in the army to go to the crusade, the surprise army wins quickly, and the siege strategy cannot be delayed again and again-"
However, although Xu Da was constantly puzzled about this matter, he listened to the general's advice and refused: "No, this general has already issued a military order, and he has not arrived for seven days, so he can't exceed his authority!"
"But the general...... "The general still wanted to say something, and asked for his life in a hurry.
Xu Da made a stop gesture in advance, and continued to say firmly: "General Ben is also very puzzled, what does General Qin mean by this action...... However, the military order is not child's play, and I believe that before General Qin led his troops to crusade against the army, he would not fail to understand this truth - although I don't know what General Qin's series of strange actions were, but there are still five days to go, and General Ben wants to see how he uses the remaining five days......"
The general didn't say anything more, muttered to himself, and then turned and left the camp.
Xu Da was left alone in the tent, and his heart was uncertain for a long time, looking at the flickering candle flame in front of the case, Xu Da secretly said in his heart: "General Qin, what are you calculating...... In five days, do you really have a good plan to take the city garrisoned by Timur's elite soldiers......
Xu Da's heart is like a candle in the tent. Light and dark wavering......
Before the battle, the city of Jinan ......
Although it was a tiring day in vain. But Timur still didn't dare to take it lightly, he was worried that Qin Yu's training during the day was just an illusion. It is not ruled out that he quietly led his troops to sneak attack at night, so he ordered his soldiers to be on defensive guard at night.
However, because of the futility of the day, the soldiers of Mengyuan were physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention the lack of food and grass in the city, and the soldiers fed on bran pickles all day and night......
"Cheer up, all of them are depressed, what kind of atmosphere do they have?" Ulu Wutai went upstairs to inspect. Seeing the soldiers guarding the city tired for a day and in a trance at night, he couldn't help but be angry.
"There is no way to ......," Weng Jira said helplessly, "There is a shortage of food in the army, and the soldiers are often hungry and mentally exhausted...... Hey, since the destruction of Yidu City, the whole of Shandong has fallen into chaos, not to mention the lack of grain and grass supply. It is not clear whether we still have the strength to resist Zhu Yuanzhang......"
Huang Hedan was also on the side, thinking about the affairs of guarding Jinan, thinking of the lack of food and grass, and couldn't help asking: "That's right." When will the imperial court send reinforcements and grain and grass, do you have any news?"
Weng Jira replied: "The communication soldier said that the imperial court has already sent it. It's just a long way to go, and the time has not yet come......"
"How long is that?" Huang Hedan couldn't help but ask.
Onjira shook his head slightly. Said silently: "Twenty days at least, two or three months at most......"
"Twenty days?" the Ulu-Utai listened. He was amazed and said, "This enemy army has been pressed to the gate of the city, how can it be possible to wait for twenty days?"
"What are you talking about?" Seeing the startled appearance of the Ulu Wutai, Weng Jira only reprimanded in order not to affect the morale of the army, "Although there is not enough food and grass in the city, it can barely last for a month or ten days...... Although the enemy army has pressed the border, our garrison in the city is elite and impregnable, and if it is attacked, it is also wishful thinking to take it within a month——"
But Huang Hedan, who has always been unable to hold his breath, has a bad face, and he and Wulu Wutai are not convinced by Huang Hedan, so he said with a displeased face: "Hmph, it's okay to defend the city, but if you want me to eat bran pickles for a month, I can't bear it!"
Huang Hedan's tone was a little unrestrained, and Weng Jira just wanted to refute, but suddenly the Ulu Wutai seemed to notice a little wrong, sniffed his nose, and asked: "Strange, this smell...... This is the smell of meat—where is the smell of meat coming from the lack of food and grass in the army?" asked the Ulu Utai in a loud voice.
It didn't matter if it was a loud voice, as soon as it was "the smell of meat", the soldiers defending the city all raised their sense of smell and smelled it one by one - it was indeed the smell of meat, and it was permeated with fragrance for several miles......
"What the hell is this......" Weng Jira also asked in a trance, also at a loss.
"Report-" At this moment, the spies returning from the front seemed to have an urgent report on the military situation.
"What the hell is going on?" asked the Ulu, turning around and pointing.
The soldier hurriedly reported: "Report to the general, the enemy army has a big meal in front of our army's formation, and the enemy general Qin Yu treats the lieutenant generals of the army with beef-"
Now I finally understand, where does the smell of meat come from......
Huang Hedan glanced at the brightly lit camp tent of the enemy army opposite, pounded the city wall and said angrily: "The hateful Qin Yu Xiao'er, whether he should fight or not, he didn't lead the troops to attack the city, and he actually rewarded the soldiers in the camp to eat meat...... They had fun before the battle, and they didn't come to attack the city, but we were starving here—this humiliation was unbearable, and I will definitely send troops to fight and kill Qin Yu'er with my own hands!"
"Calm down—" Weng Jira knew that Huang Hedan had always been the most uncontrollable, so he immediately stopped, "It's obvious that this is Qin Yu's trick! He deliberately provoked us in this way, just to shake our military hearts-"
"Because it's a ruse, we have to take action, and we can't let his ruse succeed!" Huang Hedan continued to vent his anger, "If you are timid, you can garrison the troops...... I'm not afraid, Qin Yu'er humiliates me like this, I won't spare him! I'll send troops now to crusade against Qin Yu'er!"
Huang Hedan unintentionally or intentionally, deliberately "humiliated" Weng Jira, and Weng Jira was very unhappy in his heart, as if he wanted to reflexively reprimand......
"Stop-" Suddenly, a drinking order stopped the "smell of gunpowder"-it was after Timur learned about Qin Yu's "meat reward". Decalyptic Timur himself went upstairs in person.
"Your Excellency—" The three generals stopped arguing and turned to ask for help in unison.
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Don't you understand this?" said Tamur with a fierce reprimand, and then continued. "This is obviously Qin Yu's trick, deliberately shaking the morale of our army - but we can't be confused by it, the enemy does not move, I will not move, we will guard the city well, and wait for the imperial court reinforcements to arrive!"
"Yes, my lord......" "Yes......" The three of them repented in a low voice as if they bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"All right, each of you go down and take care of the defenders of the city, and do not let up for a moment. Do you understand?" asked Tamur as he continued solemnly.
"Understood—" the three of them replied in unison, and then turned and left the tower......
However, on the surface, they only promised in front of Timur, but in their hearts, the three of them seemed to have their own plans...... Huanghe Danduotai couldn't bear it the most, he couldn't say anything that made Qin Yu "presumptuous" like this, and after leaving Tamandr, he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart......
"You, come here—" Guarding the ground by himself, Huang Hedan gestured to one of his cronies.
"What's the matter, General?" the soldier asked.
Huang Hedan froze. Then he whispered in his ear: "Send a few brothers, sneak into the vicinity of the enemy camp tonight, observe the enemy garrison, and come back early tomorrow morning to report ......" Huang Hedan's voice was subtle. It seems that he doesn't want anyone else to know the secret.
"Okay, General......" The soldier nodded softly, then turned and left......
Suddenly, he ordered his subordinates to sneak in the night. Huang Hedan seemed to have something in his mind......
Qin Yu's tent, it's late at night......
Good food tonight. While the soldiers were satisfied, they were also happy. Thinking that today's hard work was not in vain. After returning to the camp early to rest, the soldiers guarding the camp did not arrange too much, just a few in twos and threes, on the surface, Qin Yu did not deliberately emphasize that the soldiers should strengthen their vigilance to prevent sneak attacks, even if his camp was stationed two miles in front of the enemy city - so close......
Qin Yu made decisions alone in the tent, and Murong Ying personally patrolled the camp with his cronies - now only the two of them in the whole army are considered to be the "generals", and they have to be alone in all affairs, big and small, inside and outside......
Murong Ying led the troops to patrol to the door of the tent, but saw only two soldiers guarding the gate of the camp, and their expressions were in a trance. Now that the enemy is present, the officers and soldiers in the army are so "sluggish", Murong Ying is obviously a little displeased, and wants to come forward to teach a lesson in person.
"You two—" Sure enough, Murong Ying shouted the order, which frightened the two soldiers guarding it.
"Mu ...... General Murong ......" The two of them saw Murong Ying coming to inspect in person, and they were so frightened that they suddenly sobered up.
"Now is the time when military affairs are tense, why are the guards so lazy? In case the enemy suddenly attacks at night at this time, then the matter will be serious-" Murong Ying said solemnly, "You have eaten well, and you have been 'blessed' for a night, so you have to carry out military affairs more seriously!"
"Why should General Murong be nervous, now that the enemy army itself is difficult to protect, how can there be that idle time to sneak attack our army?" The soldiers guarding the camp unexpectedly said such unbelievable words.
When Murong Ying heard this, her face was greatly displeased, and she stepped forward and slapped the soldier down, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! Is this what a soldier should say? The garrison is so lax, and there is no military discipline...... Come on, military law will serve!"
"Will ...... General, wait......" The soldier looked a little flustered, fell to the ground and covered his face with one hand, and hurriedly dissuaded.
In Murong Ying's opinion, this is simply shameless, and Murong Ying is even more angry. However, seeing that there were only two simple guards, Murong Ying asked angrily, "Besides, why are there only two of you guarding the camp, and the others?"
"All this ......" the soldier got up from the ground in a panic, and suddenly whispered, "All this is what General Qin meant, it is General Qin...... Let's deliberately guard loosely like this, and...... And only two people can be stationed at the camp entrance......"
"Kouhu!" Murong Ying continued to say angrily, "General Qin acted rigorously and disciplined, how could he be so perfunctory in military affairs?"
"It's true-General Qin has let the two of us guard here, and the garrison is lax, this is still a military ...... Military Order...... If you don't believe General Murong, you can ...... You can ask them ......," said the soldier, pointing to his brother who was about to "serve" him to court-martial.
Murong Ying's face was greatly surprised when she heard this...... (To be continued.) )
