The cost of training such a large group of Snow Dragon Cavalry would probably be no less than that of an ordinary 500,000 elite troops.

No one knew before that the Ming Dynasty had such a large army.

But Zhu Houzhao took it out suddenly.

Moreover, they beat Kublai Khan so badly that he is now wreaking havoc on the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Sometimes, Yue Fei even wondered whether the Song Dynasty would be directly crushed by the Snow Dragon Cavalry if cavalry were not unsuitable for siege and the territory of the Song Dynasty was densely covered with rivers.

However, at this time, Yue Fei was extremely worried. What was going on? He didn't believe that Wu Qi had done nothing during this period of time.

Food and grass! At this time, Yue Fei thought of his only shortcoming, which was food and grass.

Didn't Yue Fei know about his own shortcomings?
Of course he knew it. After all, during a war, food and fodder are the most important things. Without food and fodder, how can the soldiers go into battle and kill others when they can't even fill their stomachs?

Yue Fei was very kind to ordinary soldiers and was supported by countless soldiers.

But this also put Yue Fei into trouble. He knew his own problem, but it seemed more like Zhao Kuangyin's problem.

Unexpectedly, because he was good at leading troops in battle and had the support of many soldiers, Zhao Kuangyin began to be wary of him.

It cannot be said that Yue Fei really had no political ideas. Just like in the original history, many people said that Yue Fei just ignored the orders of the emperor when he was away from home.

But you don't think about it. Once Yue Fei disobeyed Zhao Gou's order, it would be disobeying the imperial edict. At that time, Yue Fei would be rebelling, and the Southern Song Dynasty would inevitably take action against Yue Fei, and the same would be true for the Jin Kingdom.

Under attack from both sides, Yue's army would also be doomed.

Moreover, by then, Yue Fei and the entire Yue Army will be despised for all eternity.

Some things seem to be doable, but in reality they cannot be done.

Having one's own army and maintaining one's own power could be done if there was no war, but at that time, Yue Fei and the Jin Dynasty were about to be defeated, and it was impossible to remain unscathed.

Therefore, when the Southern Song Dynasty decided to kill Yue Fei, Yue Fei had no way out.

It is not a question of whether Yue Fei has a strong political sense or not. His political ability cannot be said to be very high, but it is not bad either.

At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin was afraid of him, and Yue Fei was helpless. Was this because he was too good?
He wanted to limit himself through food and grass, but what else could Yue Fei do?
Say you have no intention of betraying me?
In order to reassure Zhao Kuangyin, he even arranged for his family to live directly in the imperial city. Isn't this enough to show his loyalty?
However, Yue Fei could actually understand Zhao Kuangyin to some extent. After all, half of the elite troops of the Song Dynasty were already in his hands.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin did the same thing at the beginning.

Therefore, he could only leave his life to Zhao Kuangyin, even though he knew that this matter was very dangerous.

But if he doesn't even agree to this, then Zhao Kuangyin will be even more wary and suspicious of himself, and then this war will be impossible to fight.

According to the agreement, today's food and fodder should have arrived, but now it has not been delivered yet. Yue Fei has begun to panic.

Is there anything wrong?
Thinking of this possibility, Yue Fei couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Yue Fei had tried his best to ignore the issue of food and fodder before, but now he had to face it. He said to Niu Gao with a serious look: "Quick, lead 10,000 cavalry to the place where food and fodder are found to investigate. Something may have happened there." "How is this possible? If you want to go there, we have to pass through this place!" Niu Gao was shocked when he heard this.

At the beginning, they actually had some complaints about this matter.

After all, if there were any problems with food and supplies, they would most likely be wiped out.

But considering that it was Zhao Kuangyin's arrangement and Yue Fei himself accepted it, Niu Gao couldn't say much.

After all, he was just one of Yue Fei's generals.

When it comes to leading troops in battle, he is far inferior to Yue Fei. Since even Yue Fei approves of Zhao Kuangyin's approach, he has nothing to say.

Since Yue Fei has agreed to it, then this matter must have a meaning that he is not aware of!
Moreover, the war had already begun for several months, and the food and fodder had been delivered to them very punctually. Every time they delivered it, it was just enough, much more than the usual amount of food and fodder.

If you look at it from this perspective, Niu Gao seems to be doing pretty well.

But now Yue Fei said that there might be a problem with the place where the grain was stored. This was hard for Niu Gao to accept. If there really was a problem, then their entire army would probably be doomed.

I'm afraid the food and grass in the camp can only last for five to eight days.

This is based on the assumption that there is no war. If a war breaks out, the demand for food will increase. By that time, four or five days may be the maximum.

Moreover, given the location of the city, if they wanted to bypass them and go there, they would probably have to travel 500 to 600 miles, or even go deep into the heart of the Song Dynasty. In Niu Gao's opinion, this was almost impossible!
If the Ming army could penetrate deep into the heart of the Song Dynasty, why didn't they send any signal at all?

Even the Great Snow Dragon Riders were now being restrained.

What exactly is going on?
Niu Gao said he couldn't figure it out.

"Although I also think this is impossible, but when all possibilities have been ruled out, then the impossible is the most likely truth."

Yue Fei smiled bitterly, and he brought Niu Gao to the map and said, "Look here, if we force our way through the mountains here, it will be very dangerous, and if we are not careful, our entire army may be wiped out.

But if we can really get through, we can indeed reach the storage area of ​​our army’s food and fodder.”

Niu Gao took a deep breath when he heard this: "This is really too bold!
It's not like I haven't explored this route before, and even with my physical condition, it's very dangerous to walk this route.

Ordinary armies simply cannot cross this road, and even if they do, the casualties will be huge.”

"I know this, but I don't dare to believe it. But if it's true, we're probably in danger this time." Yue Fei said with a wry smile: "Go over there as soon as possible. I hope I'm just overthinking it!"

"Yes!" Niu Gao said with a very serious expression.

Just as Yue Fei said, I hope they are just overthinking it.

If the land for food and grass is gone, then we must take the city back!
I’m afraid those guys will just burn the food and supplies.

I hope it's not too late. (End of this chapter)
