Chapter 601
"Mr. Chen, we have consumed a lot of food in the past two days, and it is probably difficult to guarantee the meal tonight." As soon as he stopped and took a breath, Xu Da from the front army came to the central army.
In the past two days, the soldiers kept moving day and night, and accordingly, the food increased to three meals. Sometimes when there were too many roads at night, they would have another meal. Only by eating like this can the army have enough physical strength.
However, if you eat it in this way, you will consume a lot of food.
Today, when I arrived in Hong County, the progress was quite fast. According to this way of walking, I could walk to Xuzhou in more than five days, and it might be possible to arrive in four days.
However, people can walk like this, but there is not enough food.
The food is getting less and less, the pressure on the logistics forces is getting smaller and smaller, and many carriages are empty.
But, without food, what should I do next? Should I slaughter horses?
At most, the food will bottom out at night and will go hungry tomorrow. Finally, Xu Da couldn't help it and ran over to ask Chen Feng for something to eat.
Originally, they were raising their own food, and this was the case before they set out.
Now, Xu Da saw that his food was almost eaten, and Chen Feng's many carriages were still full, so he was very suspicious.
Chen Feng said that he would bring more food and grass for half a month, right?
"Don't worry, continue to take full care of the soldiers' food tonight, and don't be stingy with the stock." Chen Feng said.
"Mr. Chen, then we have finished our food. What should we do tomorrow?" Xu Da said.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Chen Feng finished speaking and glanced at Xu Da: "Is there any other problem?"
Xu Da shook his head.
"Then go back to your own troops, hurry up and rest, wait a moment, we have to continue rushing." Chen Feng said.
Xu Daru was confused. He knew that since Chen Feng could say that, he must be prepared, but he was really worried that he had no food in his hand.
So I went to Lord Chen’s rear army to check it out!
Xu Da thought so and rode his horse toward the back army.
The carriages of the rear army were changed to sleds, so they didn't have much effort along the way. Before Xu Da got close, he heard a man shouting from afar: "Stop, what are you doing?"
"I am Xu Da, the subordinate of Mr. Zhu. Come and contact us. I need to transfer food for our troops tomorrow. Let's see how many people I send to wait at the intersection in front." Xu Da said.
Xu Da said very politely. The logistics supplies were so strictly taken care of. It seemed that there was still a lot of food and supplies.
If it is your own people, Xu Da will not need to register for your own registration, and the people below will be extremely respectful. However, now this is Chen Feng's people, and Xu Da's own name is not easy to use.
Therefore, Xu Da was so polite. Tomorrow, he would definitely give him some food and grass, and he sent someone to pick him up, so he saved the trouble from the middle of the way.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the person opposite said, "Direct food? Where do you adjust food? Remember to notify us too."
Suddenly, Xu Da's heart skipped a beat.
"Aren't all the food and grass here?" Xu Da asked in a lost voice: "You should have a lot of food and grass here, right?"
Although those carriages have become sleds, it can be seen that many of them are full, and they are not food or something.
"Our food and grass are enough to eat today. Recently, it consumes so much recently. It only takes fifteen days. How much can you eat? Do you have more food and grass? If there is more, let us do it." This time, another person spoke, and it seemed that he was a commander of thousands of people.
"Then aren't you all full of carriages?" Xu Da asked. You can't fool people like this, right? You obviously have food and supplies, but you still say there is no one.
"We are carrying weapons in our carriage." said the commander of the thousand-man: "This is a secret. Seeing you like this, there are guards around you, so you should be at least a ten thousand-man: It would be great if you can get you close here. Military secrets cannot be leaked. You can leave quickly."
"Rareless, this is our head coach, General Xu." Hearing the commander of the thousand-man said, the captain of the guard next to Xu Da finally spoke.
"The head coach is our Lord Chen." said the commander of the thousand-man: "General Xu? Who is General Xu? Oh, I remember, he is the number one general under Mr. Zhu, right?"
When Xu Da heard that he was the number one general, he smiled a little.
Unexpectedly, the other party said to himself: "We often say that we are the most powerful general. Unfortunately, we are friendly forces now and cannot compare with each other, otherwise we really want to compete."
Suddenly, Xu Da was speechless.
"Since we know the name of our general, why don't we see what is on this carriage? Can you afford it if the military information is delayed?" said the captain of the guard.
"Hmph, my mission is to transport these weapons outside Bianliang City, which will not delay General Xu's actions." The commander of the thousand-time men said lukewarmly.
As he was talking, suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the rain cloth covered by a carriage was lifted up. Suddenly, Xu Da saw clearly.
It’s not food or food, it’s a bowl of gun!
This time, Lord Chen sent troops and brought complete equipment. The bowl gun was a powerful weapon for siege!
However, Xu Da gave up again. These are weapons, so what about food and grass? The food will be out of food tomorrow. What did Lord Chen consider about the issue of food and grass?
Xu Da was dejected and just turned his head, he saw a few horses running from afar. They were his own people!
"General Xu, General Xu!" shouted.
"I'm here!"
The visitor approached, gasping for breath, and said, "General Xu, the food and food are here."
The food and grass arrived? Suddenly, Xu Da was happy: "Where is the food and grass?"
"Just in a small village on our route, our vanguard has begun to contact each other. He is just waiting for General Xu and after General Xu has passed, he can start to supply us with food and grass." The visitor said.
Xu Da was even more happy and ran away as he ran, while he was thinking in his mind that Lord Chen had a brilliant idea and everything was ready!
In the village ahead, the food must have been transported there in advance, and then wait for the arrival of our own troops there. This way, it is much better to supply food and grass than to bring food and grass along the way.
However, this is also dangerous. It is necessary to ensure that it is not discovered by the Tartars during this period. Lord Chen has made great preparations for this Northern Expedition!
"General, the road is slippery, be careful!" said the captain of the guard behind.
Xu Da didn't care about this. He rode his horse. At this moment, he seemed like a newly married man hugging his bride.
Hong County, Lingbi Village, this very ordinary small village has become unusual today because of a caravan.
Half a month ago, a caravan passed by here. Although this is not the main road for transportation, since it is everywhere, the merchants will take strict roads to walk, so there are often passersby here. This caravan did not attract much attention.
However, the caravan had just settled down, and the next day, it snowed heavily and the road was blocked. The caravan had to stay here. This caravan lasted for more than ten days.
It was snowing heavily and there were no people walking around. Although the caravan was very anxious, he did not dare to move forward rashly, for fear that all of them would be frozen to death in the ice and snow.
No one knew that they had no intention of leaving at all, and they would stay there even if it didn't snow.
Now, it's just time for them to leave.
At the entrance of the village, a gentle man stood there in an ordinary robe, wearing it, but it could make the person look more handsome. Or, just the man's own temperament could make people see at a glance that this should be a young man who can only have a wealthy family.
Behind the man were carriages, and all the carriages were loaded with food.
In front of him were several soldiers wrapped in red scarves. Looking at the man, his tone was as gentle as a woman.
"Young Master, wait for a moment, our general will arrive soon."
"Young Master, can you give us a carriage first? We don't have enough food tonight."
The young master smiled but said nothing.
"Chen Wang, it turns out it's you! I just beg you, Brother Shen Fu sent someone to prepare food here. Unexpectedly, Brother Shen Fu sent you in person." A voice said.
Before Xu Da arrived, Chen Feng arrived in person.
After deciding to send troops, Chen Feng asked Shen Fu's caravan to wait here and provide him with some food and supplies. Shen Fu immediately agreed to this request, and decided that it would be free funding and no remuneration was required.
Chen Feng could have thought of this, but Chen Feng did not expect that Chen Wang actually brought someone here in person.
Chen Wang is now the main person in the Shen family's business. He sent him to perform this task himself, which shows Shen Fu's importance to this time.
"Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so majestic." Chen Wang said: "My father, Wanger, brought fifty carts of food and ten carts of jerky."
Food was Chen Feng’s request, but this jerky meat surprised Chen Feng.
"If it is fresh meat, I'm afraid the meat will deteriorate these days. However, if it's been snowing heavily during this period, fresh meat is fine. However, this jerky meat is easier to eat. You can put it directly in your mouth and chew it in a pot and cook it, and it will turn into fresh meat." Chen Wang said.
Along the way, the soldiers consumed a lot of physical energy. Although they were full of food every day, some soldiers still couldn't keep up with it. Now, with these meat, it was enough for the soldiers to replenish their physical strength.
"Mr. Chen, I, Xu Da, have really convinced you. I know that you will definitely prepare sufficient food." A voice from behind said, and Xu Da finally rushed from the rear army to the front army.
