The transportation of grain and grass to the border areas was interrupted.
No matter how quickly the supplies are delivered, it will still take half a month. And their existing food and grass can only last another week.
After Huo Changze received the news, he immediately suppressed it. No one in the army knew the news except him and his cronies.
But someone who was well-informed couldn't help but rushed up to question him.
Sun Wei broke into the meeting hall regardless of the obstruction of the soldiers outside the door and shouted: "General Huo, how did this news of food and grass leak out?!"
Huo Changze was discussing strategies with his subordinates. He just glanced at Sun Wei who suddenly barged in and said, "General Wei, don't worry, we are already investigating."
Sun Wei still refused to give up, "The loss of food and grass is a big deal! Now our army is fighting against the enemy. Without food and grass, will the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry? What's the use of your investigation now!"
Sun Wei looked around and said with a raised tone, "I think there might be a spy in your military camp!"
"The roads for transporting grain and grass are all military secrets, and few people know about them. Or maybe General Huo accidentally leaked the news?"
Lu Xianfeng heard Sun Wei pouring dirty water on their general, and he immediately became angry. He stood up and cursed: "Sun Wei! You ***! What are you talking about! The general has made countless military exploits for Tianqi, how could he do this? Something like this happened!”
Being pointed at and scolded by a little Zhonglang general, Sun Wei's face suddenly darkened and he said, "Why is General Lu so anxious? Is it possible that I was right?"
"You!" Lu Shanfeng was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up as if he wanted to fight him.
Huo Changze raised his hand to stop him.
His eyes fell on Sun Wei, his eyes full of inquiry, "How did General Sun learn about this matter?"
Sun Wei choked and pretended to be calm, "I...can't I know about such a big thing as food and grass?"
He directed the fire back to Huo Changze, "General Huo, what do you mean by this? Do you want to hide the news?!"
Huo Changze didn't want to talk to him anymore. Sun Wei came to help him in name, but he didn't do anything since he came. If he was sent here by the second prince this time to seize military glory, he shouldn't be like this...
Huo Changze said the last sentence categorically, "Even if the food and grass cannot be delivered in time, this battle cannot be lost."
Sun Wei looked at it and sneered, "General Huo is so loud! I'll be waiting for your good news!"
…
Rumors arose among the army at some point that their supplies had been intercepted and they would soon have nothing to eat.
Although this rumor was unfounded, it still caused an uproar in the military. Even Shen Jiao has heard it.
Huo Changze has been busy recently and often can't accompany her. Shen Jiao felt bored staying alone in the room, so Huo Changze did not continue to lock her up.
She heard the news accidentally while out for a walk.
Shen Jiao felt uneasy and kept thinking about what to do if Huo Changze really lost.
But soon this sound disappeared in the military camp. According to He Qing, Huo Changze publicly dealt with two spies who spread rumors, saying that they were sent by the enemy to deliberately disturb the morale of the army.
Huo Changze also assured all the soldiers that their food and grass would be delivered on time. Huo Changze has a high prestige in the army, and his words immediately calmed the morale of the army.
But instead of feeling relieved, Shen Jiao still decided to feel uneasy.
Finally one night, Shen Jiao felt a hot body pressing against her behind her while she was half asleep, and she suddenly woke up.
Huo Changze heard the noise she made, hugged her and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you asleep yet?"
Shen Jiao deliberately stayed awake just to clear up her inner doubts. She turned around and faced Huo Changze and asked him, "Can I win this battle?"
Huo Changze looked at her small, white face under the moonlight and couldn't help but get closer and kiss her.
Huo Changze's voice was determined, "Of course we can win."
Shen Jiao looked at him and said nothing. Huo Changze's answer was too sure, which made her feel uneasy.
Huo Changze knew that she was afraid, so he held her tightly in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid. This battle will be over soon."
…
Soon after, Huo Changze took the initiative to declare war on Northern Qi.
However, Northern Qi was reluctant to fight and even strengthened its defenses. The terrain occupied by the Northern Qi Dynasty was difficult, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
They knew that their chances of winning against Huo Changze were slim, so they wanted to drag them to death until they ran out of food and grass and were so hungry that they couldn't even hold their swords, and then attacked them in one fell swoop.
No matter how powerful Huo Changze's martial arts was, he alone could not defeat thousands of troops!
The day when the food and grass will be exhausted is getting closer and closer. If we follow the original delivery time of the food and grass, it has already arrived. But now that something like this has happened, by the time new supplies of food and grass are delivered, they may have already starved to death.
Huo Changze had people go to the town to buy a batch of supplies, but it was a small town after all, and supplies were in short supply and could not supply such a large group of people.
Sun Wei sneered in his heart when he saw that Huo Changze still looked calm in front of everyone.
Huo Changze has great military exploits and has never been defeated. He is the most capable general around the fourth prince. As long as he is eliminated, the fourth prince can be severely damaged. When the second prince ascends the throne,
He wanted to see if Huo Changze could continue to pretend when the food and grass were cut off!
He couldn't wait to see that scene...
