A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 181 Chapter 181
There were snowflakes floating in the windy sky, and Si Heng was standing on the city in full body armor, looking at the densely packed tents in the enemy camp in the distance.

The soldiers standing behind him had thin cheeks and looked depressed. They had become weak from gruel for more than ten days in a row.

The enemy set up a bonfire outside the city and roasted the hunted beasts. The smell of the barbecue wafted over with the wind, causing many soldiers to swallow their saliva involuntarily.

"Grandma, it's too bullying!" Behind Si Heng, a tall and rough lieutenant with hair all over his face, rubbed his stomach and said in a rough voice.

"General, please allow me to lead the troops to meet those grandchildren, and take back the food for the brothers by the way."

Si Heng's deep eyes glanced at him lightly, and the lieutenant immediately shut his mouth when he met his gaze.

"The enemy is waiting for us to open the city gate so that we can take the opportunity to attack. You not only want to take your brothers to die, but you also want to trap thousands of people in the fire and water behind you."

"The general's kitchen is out of food. Brothers, we can't take it anymore. Let us go out and fight with these bastards. It's better than starving to death in this city." their barbarians.

Si Heng looked at everyone's hungry and yellow faces, how could he not know that going on like this is not a long-term solution.

Seeing that the enemy is about to move these two days, they are waiting for the last bit of food in the city to be exhausted, so that they don't need to lose too many people when they attack the city, and they can beat them, hungry soldiers with weak legs, to the ground.

Obviously, the opponent's chief general also calculated that there was not much food left in their city.

Si Heng knew that they would attack the city soon, but the grain and grass distributed by the imperial court were robbed on the way, and now the household department is under the control of the Pan family.

It is not an easy task for my uncle to collect enough food and grass for the Northern Hebei Army, and transporting water will not quench his thirst.

Just when Si Heng wanted to take the risk of sneaking up on the enemy and grab some food and grass, a soldier ran up from the tower with an excited face and said eagerly: "General, there is a man who claims to be from Shouwei County, and the county magistrate sent him to deliver The food man said he wanted to see you.

The brothers were afraid of being cheated, so they were stopped outside the camp at this time, and they were not allowed in yet. "

Si Heng was in a trance when he heard this, and then he remembered that Mu Tan told him a few days ago that he asked Vice General Cheng to go to the local government to borrow food.

"Go, go and see!"

Si Heng led his subordinates to the gate of Daying, and saw the food delivery team like a long dragon, and the leader with a weathered face was none other than Zuo Wang whom he knew.

"General, my county magistrate asked me to deliver food to the Northern Hebei Army."

Si Heng's eyes were a little hot at this time, and the lieutenant soldiers behind him were even more grateful when they saw them brave the heavy snow and deliver so much food in such a cold day.

"Open the camp gate and let them in!" Si Heng ordered.

When the soldiers in the barracks saw someone delivering food, they didn't need to order, they took the initiative to take the food and sent it to the barracks in the barracks.

Si Heng brought Zuo Wang and Wei County Inspector Du Cheng, who was escorting the food, to the camp where he worked, and let them lean against the stove to warm their bodies.

The others were brought into the soldiers' tents by Si Heng's lieutenants to rest.

"It's been a hard journey to deliver food in such a cold day."

"It's hard work for the general to guard the border town. We just follow orders, and it's nothing to do with it."

"Is Miss An okay?" Si Heng asked.

Zuo Wang thought of his lord who was collecting grain everywhere in the snowy winter, frowned slightly and said: "My lord is afraid of delaying time, let us send the grain collected in Wei County to the Northern Hebei Army first.

She is still collecting more food in Fucheng along the road, and will send another batch of food back with the people led by Deputy General Cheng. "

Thinking of such a slender and tall figure, Si Heng pursed her thin lips. Thinking of the cold weather, she was still running around for the Northern Hebei Army, and her heart ached and warmed.

When Mu Tan heard that someone was delivering food, he also hurried into Si Heng's army commander~
On this day, after being hungry for more than half a month, the Beibei Army not only had a full meal, but also ate tofu stewed with meat.

Back then An Chuxia asked Xu Liangce and his family to make the tofu overnight, and she ordered Zuo Wang to buy the meat from the streets and towns along the road.

With so many people, everyone actually got very little food, but even so, all the soldiers were very satisfied.

Hearing that it was sent by a female county magistrate, they were full of respect and gratitude in their hearts.

One day, the guard Yuncheng brought the second batch of food, which was also warmly welcomed by the soldiers.

An Chuxia and Deputy General Cheng returned to the barracks two days later with a large amount of food. Si Heng and Mu Tan greeted them in person after hearing about it.

Seeing An Chuxia who was wrapped in a thick cloak and his face was flushed from the cold, the two men could not help but feel distressed, and ordered the soldiers to put the grain into the warehouse.

Mu Tan directly pulled An Chuxia into his tent, "You rest here to keep warm, I'll fetch you some warm water."

Then he ran to the barracks kitchen involuntarily, and fetched a basin of hot water as quickly as possible.

Si Heng looked at An Chuxia who was being dragged away by Mu Tan, with a sad look in his eyes, watching the grain enter the warehouse, he took Vice General Cheng to question him.

Deputy General Cheng narrated everything that happened along the way, in every detail, and said in a particularly admiring tone, all kinds of deeds that An Chuxia had done.

Si Heng's eyes became gentler the more he listened, and after Vice General Cheng finished speaking, he said, "You have done a good job collecting food this time, I will remember it, you go down to eat something, and rest!"

"Yes! General!" Deputy General Cheng saluted and exited the commander's tent.

Si Heng looked at the sand table on the table, thinking about the battle plan.

In the past few days, the soldiers have been slowly recovering from eating enough, and the enemies outside the city are already ready to move and attack.

He ordered all the lieutenants to be summoned to discuss the battle strategy and prepare for the upcoming battle.

When An Chuxia and Mu Tan walked in, they saw a group of generals in armor discussing whether to attack or defend.

People on both sides were talking about their own strategic ideas. Si Heng sat on the coach seat and listened quietly with unfathomable eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

He saw An Chuxia and Mu Tan walk in, and because he saw them discussing the military division, he wanted to leave.

Then he said: "Mr. An has helped us a lot by delivering food this time. Since you are here, come and sit down!"

An Chuxia, who was already planning to leave, was invited in by Si Heng, and sat on the chair beside him, listening to their discussion on whether to attack or defend.

"His grandma, a few days ago, the old men had no food and were dizzy from hunger, and those bastards were provoking meat outside every day.

Now I have enough to eat and drink, so I can't go out and beat them. "

The tall and rough Lieutenant General Xiong yelled in disapproval at the generals who proposed to defend.
