The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 254 About Food and Grass
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the Western Qi calendar, the frontier soldiers lured the enemy into deep, attacked them with secret weapons, wounded 27 people and killed one person, successfully slaughtered hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and the leader of the enemy, Tuoba Hong, disappeared.

The sons and daughters were brave and invincible, and wiped out the remaining tens of thousands of enemy troops, chasing them all the way, not only taking the enemy's border town.The guards in the city were also frightened and fled.Our army chased all the way, and attacked directly to the next city, beating the drums, but the opponent was strictly guarded and did not dare to fight.

The Battle of the Border Town changed the situation of the two armies seeing each other for many years. After many years of silence, Xiqi finally expanded its territory again.

The good news spread, and the whole country celebrated together.

The country is strong but the people are strong, such a happy event, and just in time for the New Year, the people immediately took out the firecrackers for the New Year, setting off and jumping is more joyful than the New Year.

And the name of Su Qingmu, with the sound of firecrackers, once again spread from the frontier to Maicheng, to Jicheng, to Shengjing, and to the north and south of the river...

Taking retreat as advance, leading the gods to descend from the sky, punishing the enemy's barbarian army, and exalting our prestige in Xiqi.

Hearing this news, the old emperor Xiqi found that his night cough miraculously healed. Not only was he mentally disturbed, but he also ate an extra meal. He was overjoyed and named me General Mouyuan, with the intention of being far-sighted. meaning.

Su Qingmu's name once again became the topic of conversation in the teahouse and teahouse of the book club.

When the new emperor Baili Tianqi, who was far away in Dongmu, heard the news, he waved his hands angrily, knocked down all the memorials and jade towns on the table in the imperial study room, and demoted the tea-serving woman in front of the imperial court in anger. Went to the Huan Xun Division, the personal eunuch dragged him out, beat him with a hundred slaps, and killed him on the spot...

Of course, these are all things to say later. When I heard the news, it was already ten days later, so I don't need to mention it for now.

I stood in front of the window, looked at the laughing people, and looked up at the boundless blue sky. Finally, I felt that my heart, which had been suffocated for a long time, was relieved a lot.

"Open the window when you get up, don't catch a cold."

Suddenly soft words came from behind me, I closed the window, turned around, and saw Xuanyuan Chen's smiling eyes.

He put two paper bags in his hand on the table, opened them and called me over, "You didn't eat much yesterday, I'm afraid you're already hungry, come here quickly, this is what you like."

A burst of fragrant smell wafted over, whetted my appetite, I strode over, Xuanyuan Chen had twisted off a fat leg of the roast goose, handed it to me and said, "Hey, this one is the biggest, hurry up and take advantage of it." Eat hot."

I took it and took a big bite.

I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, but this leg meat is delicious.

"Drink some water." He handed over the cup again. I had oil in my hand, so I took a sip from his hand.I don't know what's in this cup, it's sweet and sour, and it's very refreshing with goose legs.

I was in a good mood, and I was biting the goose leg again.

"Slow down." He shook his head dotingly, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the grease off my lips a few times.

After I ate up the goose leg, he pulled another roasted duck wing and handed it over. He twisted a piece of goose himself, wiped out the bamboo pot for wine, and ate slowly with me...

If you are full of wine and food, it is almost the end of time.

The battlefield was a mess last night, and I left without saying goodbye.Su Huo and the others couldn't find me, and they were afraid that they would be worried, so I put on a cotton poncho, went downstairs with Xuanyuan Chen, and rode a horse to the outside of the city.

Riding the horse all the way, the wreckage of the place it passed has been cleaned up, but the inside has been ignited and exploded, and it has turned black, and the trees have been scorched into carbon.

Not to mention trees, people, naturally needless to say.

Riding on the horse, we soon arrived at Xinduo Border City. Qi Lan was directing something on the tower. Seeing me coming back from a distance, he ran down the tower excitedly and shouted, "General Su, General Su, you have appeared, old marshal!" After looking for you all night, I was afraid that something might happen to you, but I was in a hurry to die."

I jumped off the horse and said with a smile, "What's the hurry, I'm back fine."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be fine." Qi Lan nodded first, and then her eyes turned red, "General Su, we won a beautiful victory! This time it's really thanks to you!"

I smiled, "It's not my fault, I just came up with an idea, and it was you who attacked the city."

At this time, someone had already spread the news of my return. Su Huo sent someone to go to the meeting hall. Qi Lan wiped the corners of his eyes, pulled out a smiling face and walked with me, and soon arrived at the place.

"Oh boy, you can be counted as showing up. There was such a big commotion yesterday, so I couldn't find you today, but we are so anxious, where have you been?" General Zhu with a beard walked up to him first, and asked anxiously.

I said nonsense, "Yesterday I saw the young general who led the team run away from the slanting stab, so I chased after him. Knowing that I won, I didn't rush back."

General Zhou immediately said, "Oh, they're all back, what are you yelling at her for, don't scare the kid!"

"I, where did I yell, my voice has always been so loud. Besides, I'm worried!" General Zhu was not happy.

General Zhou ignored him, looked me up and down, and then said, "Hey, I am really old. That day you proposed to withdraw the army, and I was the first to disagree, even if Su Shuai issued a military order. He is a calf protector.

Now it seems that my old Zhou was really stupid and almost delayed the big event.Baby, Uncle Zhou apologized to you here, if there is something wrong, don't worry about it, baby. "

After speaking, he put his hands together, as if to salute.

I hurriedly supported him, "What is Uncle Zhou doing? Qing Mu's plan was dangerous and risky, and he did not reveal the follow-up plan. He gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and guarded the border city for many years. If there is a mistake, it will be difficult to gain or lose Everyone will be more cautious."

General Zhou wanted to say something, but Su Huo said later, "Old Zhou, don't feel guilty, my grandson, is he that stingy person, Qing Mu, come and sit here with Grandpa."

I looked up and saw that Su Huo had not slept all night. There were bloodshot eyes in Su Huo's eyes, but he was very energetic, his wrinkled cheeks were glowing red, and his eyes were shining brightly. rise.

He issued a military order, and now that he has won so happily and captured the enemy's border town, he is naturally happy.Xi Qi hadn't fought such a hearty battle for many years.

As I was about to pass by, I first saluted with Helian Yunze who was sitting on him, and then sat down next to him.Everyone was seated, and some soldiers brought tea.

Su Huo took a sip of tea, first made some conclusions, then talked about the formation and other issues, and finally, he talked about another key point - whether to continue the siege.

Now, our army has reached another gate of the enemy army, but siege is not about taking lost ground.This border city was taken by force, and any further attack would be an invasion of soil.

Although it is said that the general will be outside and the emperor's orders will not be accepted, but such a major event as expanding the territory, Emperor Xi Qi must nod, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and agreed that they should be stationed first. After a few days, Shengjing will approve the news and study whether to continue the siege.

But if it is stationed, the problem will come again.

Last time the enemy attacked and burned all the food and grass of the Xiqi army. Although His Majesty sent some urgently, the quantity was not much. Seeing that the food and grass were almost gone, the second batch of food and grass had not yet arrived.

I thought there would be an inch of grain in the enemy's border town, but who knew, their grain depot was also empty.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Regardless of whether to continue the siege, food and grass is a big problem.

The bigger problem is that the current grain storage can only last for two days..."

Helian Yunze frowned and said, "It would be great if we can raise food immediately, and it can solve the urgent need."

General Zhou shook his head and said, "This is absolutely impossible, but not to mention that there is no spare salary in the army, even if there is, how can we raise so much food and grass. It will take half a month for our second batch of food to arrive. It's empty, but how can I endure it?"

"Hey, that's a big problem."

"That's right, there's really nothing to do but to wait for the food that's not picked up now."

"How about we reduce the grain storage? Maybe it can be delayed for a few days."

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, delaying for a few days is fine, but delaying for half a month is simply impossible."

Everyone you say and I say are all frowning.

Su Huo concentrated for a long time, then turned to ask me, "Qingmu, what can you do about the matter of grain and grass? If so, you might as well tell me about it."
