The orderly soldier was beaten until he was wailing, but Jing Peng was still upset and growled: "Open your dog eyes and see for yourself, where are the three thousand extra arrows in our army?"
"Go back and tell General Mighty not to throw any dirty water on me. I, Jing Peng, don't like to take advantage of others!"
The messenger didn't dare to hesitate and ran away without looking back.
Jing Peng had a cold face and rode his horse to the front of the battle. He was about to ask the messenger to convey the order. Just as the army was about to set off, there was another trouble ahead. It turned out to be the light cavalry troops besieging Changshui County, blocking Jing Peng's way. .
A guerrilla captain from the other side, with more than a hundred cavalry, ran up to Jing Peng and asked straight to the point why the food and grass for the light cavalry troops had not arrived yet.
Jing Peng was so angry that he trembled and pointed at the guerrilla captain and yelled: "About this matter, you go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs and tell them, this general is going to the front line to fight, not here to mess with you about logistics!"
"If you dare to block the road again, you will be punished for delaying the military aircraft and will not be shot!"
Facing Jing Peng's angry rebuke, the guerrilla captain on the opposite side was not afraid at all, and said in a sonorous voice: "We have been besieged here for many days. In order to form an encirclement as soon as possible and cut off the connection between Changshui County and the outside world, we all went into battle lightly. We have brought food and grass for two days, but now all the brothers are exhausted and hungry."
"Once your troops go to the front line, it will be more difficult to transport food and supplies. Is it possible for us to fight on an empty stomach?"
"Only if food and grass go first, the rest of the troops can pass!"
Jing Peng never expected that the opponent's Qingqi would have such a tough attitude. He showed murderous intent several times and wanted to send troops directly to deal with these Qingqi who were in the way. However, every time he was about to give an order, he was stopped by the deputy general.
The deputy general frowned and his expression was extremely solemn: "General, please calm down."
"Previously, General Mighty sent people to ask for arrows. It was a reasonable and reasonable move. After all, arrows are the most important military supplies. There was a sudden shortage of three thousand. General Mighty was naturally unable to bear it. You must know that these arrows are not Crude arrows, but finely crafted arrows specially used for fighting tough battles.”
"Now, the Qingqi troops have besieged Changshui County for several days, but no grain and grass have arrived. They are already exhausted and need to be supplemented to continue to maintain. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with asking for grain and grass to go first."
"Although all the generals have now reached a consensus to attack Changshui County, due to the sudden incident, it only took a few days from Qin Feng being intercepted and killed by Lu Li to ordering the attack on Changshui County. Even His Majesty had no time to appoint Commander-in-Chief.”
"Although the commander-in-chief is, in all probability, still General Chen, General Chen should still focus on unity and stability before the future, and must not make any cross-border moves, otherwise the war will be unfavorable in the future, and when he is held accountable, he will be regarded as a general. Even if you are dedicated to serving the country, you will definitely be framed by your political opponents!"
Faced with the lieutenant's earnest dissuasion, although Jing Peng was furious, he finally suppressed it.
Although it was not within Jing Peng's responsibilities to rush for grain and fodder, in order to rush to Changshui County as soon as possible, he still sent his own people back to the capital to urge for grain and fodder, and at the same time ordered the entire army to station in place.
Not long ago, Jing Peng was still holding his head high and his fighting spirit high. Now, he is depressed and harboring evil fire.
Several generals were helpless about this chaos.
The deputy general sighed and said helplessly: "It's all a mess! But no one is bad, hey!"
"March operations are a rigorous and systematic process. First there is the appointment of personnel, then the allocation of food and fodder, then the mobilization of troops, and orders along the way, and finally they rush to the battlefield."
"It's good now. Qingqi rushed forward in a hurry and surrounded Changshui County, but what's the use? Qingqi can't attack the fortress!"
"Now that the army has moved to the front line, but no food and grass have arrived, it's really annoying."
The captain next to him also had a depressed look on his face: "What's more? Our vanguard army has already set off to the battlefield, but in the end we don't even have a general. When the time comes, we go to Changshui County. Will we fight or not? Who can bear this responsibility?"
"So, if you ask me, even if you rush to Changshui County, you can only stay there and wait for the general to go into battle. It is better to rest here and wait for the general and logistics to catch up before heading to Changshui County. It’s not too late.”
The truth is this, but the deputy general still looks sad.
The time limit given by His Majesty is two months. In this case, we must attack with force. The more so, the faster the offensive must be. If it continues to be delayed and Qin Feng strengthens the city defense before attacking, he will inevitably face greater casualties.
Knowing this, the generals on the scene could only bite the bullet and endure it. After all, like Jing Peng, they were all obsessed with evil.
The blame is on this critical battle. It was too rushed. The garrison troops in various places did not prepare in advance and rushed into battle. It would be strange if no trouble occurred.
The vanguard's side was in chaos, and the capital's side was not much better.
Especially Chen Si, until now, he has not waited for the summons from King Beidi.
The King of Beidi was also furious. He had clearly sent an order to summon Chen Si to the palace and was awarded the title of Lord General. Why didn't he enter the palace for a long time?
After waiting until dark, the Beidi King was so angry that he directly ordered someone to go to the Ministry of War to find Chen Si. However, when they saw Chen Si, they finally realized that something was wrong!
The eunuch sent by the Beidi King to deliver orders unexpectedly disappeared.
This is the royal capital, how could it disappear out of thin air?
The King of Beidi appointed Chen Si as the general and took office immediately. On the other hand, he sent people to search for the eunuch who delivered the order. It was not until the next morning that the eunuch's body was found in a well, with the eunuch still holding the imperial edict in his arms.
When he learned that the eunuch delivering the order was actually intercepted and killed on the way, King Beidi was angry and shocked. He immediately suspected that it was Ye Xiao who was responsible. After all, only Ye Xiao could intercept and kill the eunuch delivering the order in the capital without anyone noticing. , but unfortunately there is no conclusive evidence, and with the rat-proof weapon, King Beidi can only swallow this bad breath.
Just before noon, King Beidi learned that the officials sent by the Ministry of War to allocate grain and grass had also been assassinated.
Due to the urgent military situation, the officials went into battle lightly and only had a few followers with them. As a result, officials and followers, without exception, were all assassinated.
After learning about this, the King of Beidi urgently summoned the Minister of War. Before he could ask, the Minister of War took the initiative to report that there was indeed a problem with the allocation of grain and grass ahead.
The Qingqi who besieged Changshui County could not get enough food and grass, and were already out of men and horses. The vanguard army also came into conflict with the mighty generals because of their military supplies.
The anger in King Beidi's heart has been replaced by fear, and fear breeds hatred.
The Beidi King immediately summoned Li Yu, no longer waiting for the Eagle Brigade, and immediately launched a purge against Ye Xiao!
