The land of Shu is lush with trees and shrubs. Although the sun is very hot, the soldiers of the Yulin Army hiding in the woods next to the road feel the cool breeze in the forest, which is very refreshing. Wei

"If you are not fighting for your life, it would be good to rest here while running business or leisurely."

While Lu Xun was feeding his horse, he asked the officer in charge of logistics around him.

"How many days can we last with the remaining food and grass?"

"General, I can still eat for four days."

Four days is too many!

It will take at most two days to return to Mianzhu and join Wei Yanbu.

"The amount of food tonight is the same as before, but the cooking stove is a quarter less. Also, please do some statistics. Rice bags and other heavy items should be thrown away on both sides of the road. Prioritize carrying pressed dry food and flatbread to ensure that brothers have two Food and grass from heaven will suffice." Wei

this?

The logistics officer was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Lu Xun didn't look like he was joking, he immediately answered with clasped fists.

"Take orders."

After Huo Yi waved his hand to the logistics officer to leave, he kicked Lu Xun's butt angrily.

"Bo Yan, what do you want to do?"

"What? I want to fuck him!"

Seeing Lu Xun's appearance of showing weakness to the enemy and creating false impressions, Huo Yi had a suspicion in his mind, and when he heard him admit it, he suddenly became anxious. Wei

Five thousand people turn around and beat someone else's 30,000 people?

"Are you crazy? General Wei Yan wants to know, uh"

General Wei Yan knew, and it seemed that nothing would happen to him.

Huo Yi choked.

He had been in the Yulin Army for a while, but he still didn't know that Wei Yan, Lu Xun, and Han Zong were all masters who refused to suffer losses. It would not be an exaggeration to call them madmen. No matter what kind of enemy they are, they will always come forward and take a bite of the flesh.

You know, at first he just wanted to join the Yulin Army to get rich, but now he is risking his life every day!

"The situation is not as bad as you think." Wei

Seeing Huo Yi's heartbroken look, stamping his feet and beating his chest, Lu Xun smiled and shouted.

"Brothers, those dogs from the Qin Army are hanging behind our tails and want to eat us. What should we do?"

"Fuck him!"

"Fuck him!"

"We have already killed the 20,000 Shu army. Are we still afraid of his 30,000 Qin army? Fuck him!"

The laughter of the soldiers rang out scatteredly in the forest, but no trace of fear could be heard.

Ouch, why is my life so miserable! Wei

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck him!"

Huo Yi angrily threw the water bag in his hand at Lu Xun.

Lu Xunhun didn't care, he just tilted his face and stared at Huo Yi from the corner of his eyes, with an expression that was half a smile but not a smile. He pointed his index finger at Huo Yi and only let out a sinister smile of "Jie Jie Jie" in his throat.

Laugh at your sister!

Huo Yi's face was tense, with some cramps on his face.

The brothers around him gathered around him like they were joining in the fun, and gently poked Huo Yi with a sinister smile.

what! No matter how big or small! Wei

Huo Yi wanted to keep an angry face, but he was infected by everyone's laughter and burst into laughter. He wanted to keep a straight face, but he laughed wildly with an angry look on his face.

He didn't know what he was laughing at.

Lu Xun also sat next to him and patted his leg, not knowing why he was laughing.

There was only happy air left in the woods.

······

It was night in a blink of an eye.

The moon was sparse, birds were chirping and insects were chirping, and lights were burning in the camp in the distance. Wei

Lu Xun, Huo Yi and a few scouts were lying on the mountainside, looking at the situation over there.

The Qin army still unceremoniously occupied the temporary camp left by the Yulin army. On this basis, they also added many watchtowers around and placed many archers. Groups of patrolling soldiers came and went constantly, and the defense was tight.

It's just that the camp left by the Yulin Army was too small, and the Qin Army had too many people. Many tents were pitched outside the guardrails of the temporary camp, making the scene a bit funny.

"It's hard to handle."

Facts have proved that the other party was obviously not negligent. Lu Xun clicked his tongue slightly dissatisfied.

"Ha! But the people on the other side are so lazy that they even left a foundation for them and refused to cut more wood to expand the guardrail."

Seeing Huo Yi looking dumbfounded at the rows of tents outside the guardrail, Lu Xun snorted coldly. Wei

"Hmph, if you want to chase us, how can it be so easy to chase us at our marching speed? There are many of them, so they have to carry more food and grass. If you look there again, it is obviously a dismantled well railing. With these loads, it is still possible Do you expect to catch up with us? They will be exhausted even if they are exhausted."

"I estimate that after chasing for a day, Zhang Ji should also have discovered this problem, especially since I left some of the food and grass on the roadside. Even with his pig brain, he should have understood. Tomorrow he should separate the main force and move forward, leaving behind A rear army transports provisions and siege equipment.”

Okay, let's divide him into a group of troops.

Huo Yi smiled and pointed to the tent outside the camp.

"Hey, tell me, do the people of Qin not care at all about the casualties of the people outside?"

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment and his eyes lit up.

"You mean, slave soldier?" Wei

Yes, Chu State's new law has long outlawed slavery. In addition to being free under control, the surrendered soldiers captured in the army will also be treated the same as the Chu army after joining the combat establishment. In addition to regular armies, the Han and Shu armies that they had contacted before were at best mixed with semi-dependent private soldiers like aristocratic families. Lu Xun had almost forgotten what a "slave soldier" was.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slaves were slaves who were born with low status. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, cheap loans can be modified. The slave soldiers are cheap, usually made up of guilty prisoners and captured surrendered soldiers. They are only given a sword and don't even think about armor. They have the least food and are the first to charge. From the day he became a slave soldier, every day he lived was counted. Unless he made a great contribution, it would be impossible to get rid of the bad debt.

"That should be the slave soldier captured in the Hanzhong War."

Lu Xun sneered.

"I just don't know how many people there are in this group of slave soldiers. If we can directly kill the enemy generals and frighten the enemy troops, these people will definitely surrender."

Huo Yi nodded.

"I heard that Yang Ren was transferred to Chengdu after surrendering to Shu. It's a pity. If we were in our hands, maybe we could directly persuade these people to rebel." Wei

"What are your plans now?"

Lu Xun hesitated for a while and said.

"I have sent people on fast horses to contact the general. I originally planned to fight against the general before he arrived, weakening the strength of the Qin army and angering the Qin people. But now, I feel that the Qin army is not as good as I imagined. He's so strong, I'm afraid I might accidentally scare Zhang Ji away. I've already set up a trap, and when the general arrives, we'll decide the outcome in a battle."

Huo Yi was relieved when he heard that Lu Xun gave up the idea of ​​ambush the Qin army alone. Lu Xun gave some instructions to the scouts, asking them to pay attention to the situation of these slave soldiers tomorrow. After that, everyone quietly went to the foot of the mountain, found some hidden war horses, and returned to the Yulin Army.
