I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The weather in August is quite muggy.

Many of the Tang Army soldiers in the Sword Sect Pass are not used to the present day because everyone is hungry. After all the grain in the granary is burned during the day, although the house responsible for lighting the fire and cooking, there is actually some grain. But after all, there are many people in the army, and the food in the house is not enough to eat. It is impossible to persist for a long time.

So the food supply in the army has also changed. There was no food for a meal in the evening, so many soldiers were hungry and were not used to it.

Fortunately, in the evening, the weather was better. It was not so hot and there was a little more cool breeze. It is just a soldier in the army, but has no intention of sleeping, because the news that the rations have been destroyed has spread, and the army of Xia Country has been garrisoning outside the gate, putting too much pressure on the soldiers inside the gate.

Although Li Chengqian called on the soldiers to survive the hardship together, the problem is that under such a predicament, he can’t even eat enough to eat, so what else to talk about. So in the army, already discussed spiritedly, many people are discussing food shortages.

At night, as night fell, some soldiers in the army got up quietly and prepared to leave the barracks.

These people left secretly.

It was never discovered.

Moreover, the number of soldiers who fled was quite large.

Even everyone who ran away, tacitly knew, and then left.

Overnight.

On the morning of the 2nd day, when the army began to count the number of people, only one hundred and eighty-six people were missing. The news was reported layer by layer and soon reached Lu Deming’s hands. When Lu Deming got the news, the complexion was greatly changed. Once a large-scale rout of soldiers appears in the army, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Lu Deming did not dare to delay, and went straight to the Chinese army’s big tent, and saluted: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince.”

Li Chengqian said: “What’s the matter with Master Lu?”

Lu Deming said: “His Royal Highness, the minister has just received the news that deserters have appeared in the army. Last night, a hundred and eighty-six people fled. This news has been circulated in the army. “

Li Chengqian complexion greatly changed.

A deserter appeared.

This is not good!

Li Chengqian was nervous and said solemnly: “Master Lu, what can we do now.”

Lu Deming said: “His Royal Highness, what we must do now is to strictly order the soldiers Run away. Once discovered, he will be severely punished directly. As long as this arrangement is continued, the soldiers can be restrained. In troubled times, heavy codes are used. On this occasion, strict criminal law must be imposed on the soldiers.”

Li Chengqian said: “Lu The master can arrange it.”

Lu Deming responded immediately.

Li Chengqian said: “Master Lu, you can tell me the truth. How long can our food last for now? It will be calculated based on the reduced supply yesterday?”

Lu De Mingdao: “His Royal Highness Reporting back to Crown Prince, at most five days. Moreover, for the five days calculated at the moment, the supply has been reduced. Only one meal a day, and each meal is reduced. According to the usual situation, This leftover food was eaten for more than one day. Now, it is divided into five days’ worth.”

“Hey…”

Li Chengqian sighed.

These days, I really can’t get through.

Li Chengqian is not like Li Shimin, Li Shimin has experienced hard times. Since Li Chengqian was young, Li Family has already had a foundation and established a foundation. Li Chengqian has never suffered since childhood. Now with the soldiers, so I feel very difficult.

Lu Deming said: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince can rest assured that your three meals a day will definitely be arranged. The military supply will not be reduced. After all, Your Royal Highness Crown Prince is a valuable The overall picture.”

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: “Master Lu, you don’t need to be special. The soldiers in the army eat what I eat. Anyway, at the moment, I am the same as the soldiers. If I am special now How can I explain to the thousands of soldiers? How can I convince the people?”

Seeing Li Chengqian’s firm attitude, Lu Deming admired: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince is wise!”

and Soldiers eat the same food, they are the best.

Can make the soldiers fully effective.

Li Chengqian sighed and said: “The helpless move that’s all.”

After hearing this, Lu Deming persuaded him: “Crown Prince, in any case, this kind of words should not be from you. Said it out of his mouth. When he came out of the mouth of his Highness, he entered the ears of his ministers, without a third person knowing. In short, His Royal Highness Crown Prince should be wise and martial at all times. He should be determined and determined. Fortitude can bear the pressure. Such a decadent move.”

Li Chengqian said: “I know.”

Lu Deming no longer delays time, he got up and left. When Lu Deming returned to his camp, he immediately ordered people to notify Wan Dadao to come and see him. Wan Dadao is a man in the army. He was once the guard of Eastern Palace and was responsible for protecting Li Chengqian’s safety. After Li Chengqian entered Sichuan Hinterland, Wan Dadao was promoted and became a general in the army.

Not long, Wan Dadao entered.

Wan Dadao is a man who is thirty years old and born back of a tiger and waist of a bear. He entered the big account and saluted: “Mr. Lu, will you inform me to come, but what’s the matter?”

Lu Deming said solemnly: “The reason why you are notified is that there is an important task to hand over. In your hands, you will be responsible for the completion.”

Wan Dadao said: “Mr. Lu, please.”

Lu Deming said: “There are deserters in the army today. One night last night, more than 180 people escaped. According to this data, it is inferred that more people will escape tonight. If you can’t stop this trend, the consequences will be disastrous. So I got the Crown Prince’s order, You decide to take someone to the camp and take charge of the night patrol.”

Speaking of this, Lu Deming looked cold and ordered: “Once you find someone who wants to escape, kill without mercy. At the same time, it is forbidden to escape. You also issue the order immediately and notify all soldiers in the army.”

Wan Dadao said: “Humble duty and follow orders.”

Lu Deming waved his hand, and Wan Dadao turned back. It’s just that when Wan Dadao turned around and walked to the entrance of the camp, he suddenly stopped. He turned to look towards Lu Deming and asked: “Mr. Lu, there is a saying that I don’t know if I should ask or not?”

Lu Deming said: “Let’s talk about it.”

Wan Dadao said: “There is a shortage of food in the army today, although it is a reduction in the supply of food. In fact, the supply of food cannot be reduced forever, otherwise the soldiers will not be full. . Soldiers can’t get enough to eat, so they have no strength and can’t resist! Can the food problem be solved? If this problem is not solved, we are in Sword Sect Pass, that is the rootless ping.”

Lu Deming said: “His Royal Highness Crown Prince has arranged people to collect food. So you don’t have to worry about this. As long as you hold on to this period of time, the food problem will naturally be solved. This is the time to test who is a loyal minister. I hope that you can stand out in this crisis and become the mainstay of the army.”

Wan Dadao said solemnly: “The general understands.”

Lu Deming said: “Since you already understand, go and prepare.”

After Wan Dadao salutes, he turns and retreats. For Wan Dadao, he is just one of the army. Young general, can’t be considered any important status, just execute the order.
