Chapter two thousand and eighteen burning food
Gou Buhui woke up in a daze from his sleep and said, "What happened? He was howling."
"A military fortress was built overnight by the Qi team at the exit of Beshan County, and we were besieged by the Qi army!"
"What?"
Gou Buhui's face changed drastically. He hurriedly pierced his armor, ran out of the camp, then rode his horse, rushed towards the exit, rode for about fifty miles, and saw that there was indeed a city wall fortress in front of him.
This city wall fortress is more than ten miles long, with well-equipped teams, archers, etc. standing on it.
"What should I do?" the soldier asked in a hurry.
Gou Buhui took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back."
Soon, the other leaders also learned about this and all ran to the tent of the First Army and gathered together.
The head general of the first army, named Hu Geng, was the first-class confidant general in Fang Jin's seat. The ten head generals were basically led by him.
Otherwise, every time I negotiate important matters, I would have come to the No. 1 Army.
Hu Geng said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have been trapped. The letters we sent to us before may have been dropped."
He saw through the problem at a glance, and Fang Jin would never give them such an order.
Gou Buhui said: "Brother Hu, you have the highest status here. What should you do? Otherwise, we will rush out and the army of two million will not be able to rush down a fortress?"
"No hurry." Hu Geng said in a deep voice: "The State of Qi has obviously prepared for this. I am afraid that he has completely figured out a way to deal with it. If we attack rashly, if one or two million troops are killed or injured, who can afford this responsibility? How can we explain it to General Fang Jin?"
Hu Geng rolled his eyes: "Let the monk find a way to rush out, contact the general, and then ask the general to find another way to give us instructions."
Hu Geng's choice is indeed a good way for him to not take the blame.
You should know that if the two million troops can break out of the siege and the casualties are not serious, then everything will be easy and you may be able to make contributions.
But what if you can't fight?
Even if you fight, what if you suffer heavy casualties?
He can't afford this responsibility.
Hu Geng murmured in his heart, looking at the other commanders around him, and thought to himself, these guys, letting him make an idea, isn’t it just that something happened, it has nothing to do with them?
When the others saw Chen Geng say this, they nodded one by one.
One of them said: "We don't have to worry. When the general knows our situation, he will naturally have good plans! If he does something nonsense, it may be a bad thing."
"That's right."
Everyone nodded one after another.
On the distant city wall, Zhao Lingxing frowned and looked into the distance. Chen Pingyi stood beside him and asked, "Now the task is finally completed. Next, the next two million troops are trapped to death. What else does General Zhao have to worry about?"
To be honest, Chen Pingyi didn’t expect that it would be so successful. This is an army of two million!
Zhao Lingxing stepped on the city wall under his feet: "This city wall was only repaired tonight and is not solid at all. The cavalry can break through twice, and at least two days will it take to be completely solid. I am worried that they will charge in the next two days."
Chen Pingyi nodded, his face full of worry.
"Next, all the masters from the Temple need to be dispatched." Zhao Lingxing said.
Chen Pingyi comforted and said, "Don't worry, our temple masters are already hidden in these three mountains. Not to mention the monks of Zhou, even a fly cannot fly away."
"Yeah." Zhao Lingxing nodded slowly: "In addition, in two days, he will have to personally trouble Master Chen and his top masters to go there."
Ten armies were stationed on the spot.
After two days, no monk was able to break through.
It was noon this day.
"It's a fire!"
"It's a fire!"
At this time, the third army's barracks suddenly launched a fire.
Moreover, the places where the fire burns are all places where the food and grass are located!
"Not good, General Gou, the food was burned."
Gou Buhui hurriedly led the guards in his hand to put out the fire.
Fortunately, the discovery was timely, and one-third of the food and grass were left.
Gou Buhui roared angrily: "Where are the monks here? Are they all dead?"
Gou Buhui knew the importance of food and basically arranged all the monks in the camp to guard the food.
There were not many guards around him.
Unexpectedly, something happened to the food.
At this moment, a monk came with an innocent look on his face: "Sir, we didn't notice that someone was approaching. I'm afraid that his cultivation was far higher than our monks."
Gou Buhui gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Come on, how much food do we have left?"
An adjutant rushed to Gou Buhui and whispered: "General, the food we originally carried was enough for 200,000 troops to eat for two months, but now the rest is probably only 20 days."
"Go to find General Wu of the Seventh Army and General Cheng of the Ninth Army. My relationship with them is a close friend. It is a friendship that will fight to the battlefield together. "Gou Buhui said: "In addition, let them strengthen the supervision of food."
"yes."
The adjutant rushed over quickly. Gou Buhui glanced at the group of monks and snorted: "Let's settle the score with you when you look back."
He comforted himself, fortunately, all ten armies were together, so it was not difficult to borrow food.
Return to his main business and wait for news from the adjutant.
Not long after, his adjutant came back and brought back an acquaintance.
"Oh, Lao Cheng, are you here to deliver food in person?" Gou Buhui's face was a little moved. You must know that the importance of food to a force is like human blood.
Gou Buhui stepped forward and held General Cheng's hand: "I'm worthy of blocking you a knife on the battlefield. Haha, how much food did you bring?"
The adjutant looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "General Wu of the Seventh Army is similar to ours. He was burned to only 40% of the food left, and General Cheng's ninth Army's food left was burned to less than 10% of the food left."
Gou Buhui glanced at the corner of his mouth.
General Cheng hurriedly said, "Old Gou, we are all brothers who have been through life and death. You can't stand by death and refuse to save you. That's a total of 200,000 people. You still have 30% of the food left. If I don't want it, I will want 10%! Just treat it as you lend it to me, and I will return it to you at the market price."
"No, don't, let me breathe a sigh of relief."
