Yang Lin slapped the table and immediately stood up and walked directly towards the door.
But the next second, a figure walked in from the door ahead of him.
Yang Lin's eyelids couldn't help but jump again when he saw the person coming.
Just seeing two people in Fufeng Pass gave him a headache.
One is his 'good grandson', and the other is the one in front of him.
After seeing Chen You, Yang Lin looked up and down first, and then he felt relieved after confirming that the other party didn't bring any discounts.
But he quickly thought about it, what was he worried about now that Li Dao was back?
When Chen You saw Yang Lin, he immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists, "Chen You has met the commander-in-chief."
Yang Lin waved his hand and said impatiently, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
"Report to the commander-in-chief that someone has detected that a large number of people have appeared ten miles outside Fufeng Pass and are heading towards Fufeng Pass."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Yang Lin's impatient face instantly became serious, and he immediately asked, "Which door is it?"
"South Gate."
"South Gate?"
Yang Lin originally thought it was someone from the Northern Barbarians. If it was the South Gate, then it was from within Daqian.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was startled.
After regaining consciousness, he immediately said, "Take me to the south gate and see what the situation is."
"yes."
...
Soon after, Yang Lin followed Chen You to the city wall of the south gate of Fufeng Pass.
At this time, looking from a distance, I saw many heads walking towards Fufeng Pass on the ancient road leading to Yunqi City.
"this......"
Yang Lin narrowed his eyes. After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened and he muttered to himself, "How is it possible..."
On the side, Chen You could see the person clearly now. Looking at the scene not far away, his usually calm expression suddenly changed.
After a stick of incense.
Those figures came under the city wall.
"Who is coming?" Chen You's voice sounded.
"Fengzhou's army is here to help Fufeng Pass under His Majesty's order."
The speaker took out a golden edict from in front of him.
Yang Lin's eyes fell on the imperial edict and he raised his hand, and the edict naturally flew towards the tower.
After a few breaths, the imperial edict fell into his hands.
When he opened it, he confirmed that the edict was true with just one glance.
This also shows that these people under the city are really reinforcements coming all the way from Fengzhou.
"Reinforcements..."
Yang Lin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he murmured this word.
Then he glanced down the city and saw almost ten thousand people standing behind the speaking general in Fengzhou.
Looking at the appearance of these people, Yang Lin sighed helplessly, "Chen You."
"exist."
"Go and notify the kitchen and ask them to cook some food."
Chen You looked at the city with a strange expression, and then said, "Yes."
...
Half an hour later.
Fufengguan kitchen camp.
Yang Lin, Shen Zhong and others stood together, looking at the long queue of people holding bowls outside the kitchen camp. In the open space on one side, those who had prepared rice were already devouring it.
Looking at this scene, his expression was heavy and complicated, "Mr. Yang, are you sure these are reinforcements sent by His Majesty?"
Yang Lin looked equally complicated and nodded, "The imperial edict is correct, Fengzhou's reinforcements should be them."
Shen Zhen murmured to himself, "Why do I feel that His Majesty sent them here to target us?"
At this moment, Chen You came over from not far away with a figure.
Yang Lin saw the person coming and said, "Boy Li, you're here too."
Li Dao nodded, glanced at the sudden appearance of the unfamiliar team, stared blankly, and then said, "Mr. Yang..."
Yang Lin repeated the heavy words he just answered.
"Reinforcements..."
The clothes these people were wearing were indeed military uniforms, but looking at the way these people ate, they looked like refugees who had not eaten for a long time.
All of them looked yellow from hunger, and when they picked up their bowls, they looked like they hadn't eaten in three days.
At this moment, a yellow-faced man wearing a general's uniform walked up to Santian, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then clasped his fists and said, "Report to Commander Yang, Liu Shan, Commander of the Third Army of the Fengzhou Army, is now reporting to You report."
"You came just in time."
Yang Lin pointed to the group of people behind him and asked immediately, "Let me ask you, what is going on? It's because we didn't bring food and grass on the road. How can everyone be so hungry?"
Liu Shan smiled awkwardly, "Commander, it's not that we didn't bring food and grass, it's that we don't have much food and grass to bring at all."
After that, he directly told the situation in Fengzhou.
After listening, Yang Lin and the other three understood what was going on.
There was a big disaster in Fengzhou, and as a result, these people came to them to get food.
Especially when he heard that Fengzhou had 50,000 reinforcements this time, and they were just the first batch, Yang Lin couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
These 50,000 people are just 50,000 more mouths. Coupled with the 100,000 troops he brought originally, and the Yunzhou army that is gradually gathering in Fufeng Pass, I am afraid that Fufeng Pass will eventually gather a full 200,000 troops.
Even if Fufeng Pass is backed by a big city like Yunqicheng, it probably won't be able to afford it.
I'm afraid that Fufengguan will be overwhelmed first before spring begins.
At this time, Yang Lin turned his head and looked at Li Dao.
"Boy Li, you are the deputy commander, what can you do?"
Hearing this, Liu Shan on the side was stunned for a moment.
Before, he thought that the young general next to Yang Lin was at most a deputy general, but he didn't expect that he was actually a deputy commander.
This batch of reinforcements from Fengzhou will eventually be incorporated into the New Town North Army, which means that this is also their deputy commander. He suddenly looked at Li Dao with a much more reserved attitude.
"What can I do?"
Li Dao glanced at the sallow-looking reinforcements from Fengzhou who were gobbling up food, and thought for a moment before looking back at Chen You, who was standing quietly by the side.
"Chen You, how much food and grass are there in Fufeng Pass now?"
Hearing this, Chen You took out a book from his arms, flipped through it for a while and said, "Coming back to the commander-in-chief, there are still 50,000 dan of grain in the pass and nearly 5,000 cattle and sheep."
Li Dao did a little calculation and found that if the statistics were based on the number of 200,000 troops, plus the time to wait for the next spring, the food would not be enough to feed such an army.
Then he asked, "How much more food can be mobilized from Yunqicheng?"
Chen You thought for a while and replied, "It should not be much. There was a sudden war in Fufeng Pass this year, and many merchants had to evacuate early. It is estimated that Yunqi City's reserves are not much, and they can support tens of thousands of stones at most."
"Tens of thousands of stones..."
Li Dao calculated it and found that it was still not enough.
"Boy Li, there's nothing you can do?"
Yang Lin frowned slightly, "It's too late to get food from the imperial court at this time."
At this moment, Li Dao suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, I may have a solution that is not a solution."
Yang Lin was stunned, "What do you mean it's not a solution?"
Li Dao glanced at the soldiers who were devouring their food and said slowly, "Starving."
Starving?
Everyone looked at each other, what kind of method is this? If there is not enough food, we will starve.
Then, when Li Dao expressed his thoughts, Yang Lin and others' eyes lit up.
Zhong Zhong suddenly said, "However, if this policy is implemented, it may cause a lot of criticism."
Yang Lin then said, "Swear as much as you want, as long as you can handle it."
At this time, he suddenly found a group of people looking at him.
Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said with a dark face, "You guys, don't you want me to bear this infamy? But this suggestion was made by Mr. Li."
Li Dao said slowly, "Mr. Yang, I just follow your opinion and express my own suggestions. Whether to implement them or not depends on you as the commander-in-chief."
Zhong Zhong followed suit and said, "Mr. Yang, Li Dao have already given you the solution, it's not appropriate to let him do it."
Chen You said, "Commander, everything is for the Xinzhenbei Army."
Yang Lin looked at the three people speechless for a long time, and finally looked at Liu Shan who had been silent.
Seeing this, Liu Shan quickly waved his hands and said, "Commander, I have just arrived. You should discuss it yourself. We will listen to whatever you say."
Yang Lin, "..."
Finally, Yang Lin took a deep breath, glared at Li Dao and the others, gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to thank you three."
Li said, "Everything is for Da Qian."
Heavy, "For Da Qian."
Chen You, "Da Qian."
Liu Shan looked left and right, then tentatively asked, "What?"
Looking at the three people who had nothing to do with themselves, Yang Lin waved his hand and said with a dark face, "We will discuss this matter after everyone from the Fengzhou army arrives."
