Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 282 We want to cook!
"Huh! Finally back!" Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Ji Ling's army still put a lot of pressure on Lu Yan. If it weren't for the support of generals Xia Houdun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Le Jin, he wouldn't dare to play like this.

Counting the number of people, almost 1000 people died in this battle. I dare not fight this kind of positional warfare in the future.

Some soldiers were left to clean up the battlefield and recover arrows, while Lu Yan led the others back to his camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals finally took a breath of anger today, and avenged their defeat by Ji Ling before. At this moment, their faces were more or less relaxed and smiling.

At this time, an official in charge of logistics was reporting: "Lu Hussars, our food is still enough to last for half a month, but the wear and tear of crossbows and bows and arrows is very serious. I am afraid that we can only support one or two battles!"

The logistics officer's words made the smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappear, and Xiahou Dun asked, "How many crossbow arrows did you bring?"

After the official bowed his hands to Xiahou Dun, he replied: "General Zhao came here in a hurry, and they were all cavalry. They only brought a total of less than [-] crossbow arrows, and more than half of them have been consumed today. Part of it was recovered, but the loss was still unavoidable.”

Nearly [-] crossbow arrows, most of which were lost in the first battle!
Xiahou Dun and the others were stunned, and the corners of Lu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself: "Damn it! Although the Liannu is good, its consumption is really considerable!"

Liannu has very high requirements for crossbow arrows, and the production is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, not only the standard quantity but also enough.

The generals also sighed in their hearts: "Twenty thousand arrows, only fifty crossbows shot more than half of them in one day."

"What the hell is shooting an arrow, it's clearly shooting money!"

"Fortunately, Cao Hong has plenty of money now. As a brother, he will definitely not be stingy with helping me. When I go back this time, I have to tell my elder brother that I have to get him hundreds of Liannu to town the place!"

Lu Yan said to the logistics officer: "You go down first, the food will be better today, and the brothers have worked hard all day, so they have to fill their stomachs well."

"Here!" The logistics officer cupped his hands and slowly withdrew from the camp.

At this time, Xiahou Dun asked, "Changsheng, what shall we do next?"

Lu Yan had already made up his mind, and since Xiahoudun asked, he also expressed his thoughts to put everyone at the bottom of their hearts, "Tomorrow, if there is another day of delay, maybe the internal conflicts hidden in Ji Ling's army will erupt."

"Why?" Xiahou Dun was confused.

Lu Yan showed a slight smile and said: "The soldiers have nothing to eat, and they have to fight with their lives. It's no wonder that there are no problems!"

"Oh! Could it be that General Wei has successfully cut off Ji Ling's army's food supply?"

"Our scouts are watching. There has been no food in the Jiling camp for several days. It is estimated that the porridge has begun to drink in the past two days."

"Hey." Xia Houdun said with a wretched smile, "Why don't we call tomorrow? I'd like to see if they still have the strength to run."

"Tomorrow, I will definitely go to the battle. When the time comes, I hope everyone is ready to go to the camp at any time!"

After Lu Yan's words fell, all the generals in the big tent took a step together, clasped their fists and responded, "Here!"

Unlike Lu Yan's camp which was harmonious and the morale of the army was uplifting, there seemed to be some minor disturbances in Ji Ling's camp.

Today, the soldiers fought desperately and destroyed Cao Jun's trebuchet. You, Ji Ling, don't say that you will give some rewards for your achievements. You must have enough food, right?
But now?

"Damn it! You actually used rice soup to fool us! How can we fight this battle?"

"I'm risking my life to fight, and I can't even eat enough to eat? Fighting a war? Hitting you!"

"Whoever likes to fight will go! Anyway, I will never go again!"

When the soldiers were angry, someone kicked over the vat containing rice porridge.

It's okay if you don't kick, but after kicking, the truth in that bucket makes the people around you even more angry!
I saw that after the rice soup in the vat containing rice porridge drained away, what was left in the vat was only a thin layer of corn as thick as a finger.

This special meow is not enough for one person to eat, who exactly are you trying to fool, Ji Ling?

"Grandpa is quitting! Grandpa wants to cook!"

"Call the food officer to come out, Grandpa will kill him!"

"If you don't give me any more food, the grandpas will surrender!"

The crowd outside was turbulent, and the soldiers became more and more angry.

Ji Ling listened to the commotion outside and wanted to suppress it, but couldn't bear it.

Food, food, how could he, Ji Ling, not let the soldiers have enough to eat?It's just that his current granary is empty enough for mice to run the Olympics.

Ji Ling knew that the grain hadn't arrived for several days, so there might be something wrong with the grain road.

The team that can be sent to urge and meet the food has not sent back any news so far.

But the commotion outside became louder and louder, and Ji Ling finally called in the supervisory team, and raised his butcher's knife at the soldiers who took the lead in making trouble.

In fact, those who were sent to urge the grain didn't want to repay, but they all fell under Wei Yan's knife.
In a very hidden small mountain depression,

Wei Yan and his [-] or so cavalrymen were taking a short rest while eating cold dry rations.

The location here is very secluded, and it is the longest temporary camp that Wei Yan and the others have lived in in the past few days.

"General, we have destroyed the food that the enemy has brought in twice, when can we go back?" A soldier asked beside Wei Yan.

Although Wei Yan is proud, he is very patient with his subordinates.

After getting along for a long time, this group of soldiers who followed him even dared to joke with him sometimes.

Hearing this, Wei Yan thought for a while, then shook his head and replied, "No, we won't go back!"

"Ah?" Wei Yan's answer stunned the soldier who asked the question. After a long time, he said, "Then what shall we do?"

"Ji Ling has no food, and his defeat is only a matter of time.

And after Lu Hussars defeated Ji Ling, he would definitely march to capture Xiaopei with all his strength.Therefore, we have to rush to Xiaopei to join Lu Hussar. "

Wei Yan's conjecture was well-adjusted. He knew that it would take three to five days to go back. By then, Lu Yan might have defeated Ji Ling and led the army to Xiaopei.

If they go back to Qiao County, it is very likely that they will be in vain, so they might as well go directly to Xiaopei.

The soldier didn't understand what he heard, but he still gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration: "The general is really wise!"

Along the way, Wei Yan used his keen sense of smell and ability to grasp the battlefield to escape the traps targeting them several times, and also destroyed two batches of grain and grass of tens of thousands of stones of the enemy army. He has completely convinced these unruly soldiers .

After returning, maybe this cavalry squad will become Wei Yan's headquarters, so Wei Yan is naturally happy to teach them experience.
