The safety of material storage points is the top priority.
The peripheral reserve points are too far away and are only used as insurance measures for leaving the mountain. In the Qilian Mountains, there are only three reserve points that Uhli can use.
The loss of any reserve point would be a heavy blow to Ukhri.
Not having enough to eat was only the next best thing. What they feared most was directly causing the soldiers to mutiny.
The three of them from Wu Heli gathered together and finally decided to temporarily build a vanguard and immediately go to the material reserve point to stop Qin Feng's people and protect the safety of the reserve point.
The number of this vanguard should not be too large, and it must be loyal enough to Ukhri.
Fortunately, Liu Biao helped. Liu Biao was familiar with the situation of the soldiers under his command. He picked out the taller ones from the short ones and selected twenty relatively loyal soldiers.
These twenty soldiers have undoubtedly become the confidants that Uhri has trained intensively. When they learned that the material reserve point was likely to be attacked, they immediately accepted Uhri's instructions and took the first step.
After all, the safety of the material reserve is also related to whether they can survive, even if it is for themselves, it is their duty to do so.
Looking at the retreating figure of the pioneer, Uhri's hanging heart finally fell to the ground a little.
Although he was not sure whether there would be a traitor among the twenty soldiers, as long as he still held the positions of the other two reserve points, he would not worry about being evacuated from power or killed.
Qin Feng, who had been chasing from behind, suddenly ordered the team to stop advancing.
Zhao Yulong was puzzled: "Brother Qin, do you want to explore the terrain again?"
Qin Feng shook his head. He stopped because a more interesting idea came to his mind.
"This is a closed place. No matter what happens, the outside world knows nothing about it."
"In this case, wouldn't it be possible to temporarily lower the bottom line standards?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yulong and Zhao Zhenhai couldn't help but look at each other, obviously not understanding what Qin Feng meant by this.
Zhao Yulong frowned slightly: "Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"What does it mean to lower the bottom line?"
"What do you want to do?"
Under the puzzled gazes of the two men, Qin Feng's corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a wicked smile.
"It's so boring to chase all the way!"
"Since this trip is to explore the topography of the Qilian Mountains, why not take this opportunity to verify it again?"
"I want to see how quickly the morale of these bandits collapses under desperate circumstances."
"From the bandit soldiers, we can directly deduce the second-rate regular army."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhai became even more confused: "What does King Qin plan to do?"
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and asked without answering: "How much meat do we have in our hands now?"
Zhao Zhenhai shrugged: "Not at all. After all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, and transporting supplies is too troublesome. As for this, the food that the brothers eat is plundered from the supply storage point in Uhli."
"The first batch of supplies will not be delivered until tomorrow evening."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded: "Then don't worry, we'll wait until the transport camp arrives."
Zhao Yulong and Zhao Yulong couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Qin Feng was selling in his gourd. However, since they already had an absolute advantage, it wouldn't hurt even if Qin Feng tried to make trouble.
Qin Feng immediately ordered to stay in place, and soon after, Uhli also received the news.
Knowing that Qin Feng had stopped, Wu Heli quickly ordered to stop retreating and repair on the spot.
Although the food supplies he carried were not abundant, the soldiers under his command had already complained about the long continuous journey and the difficult mountain roads.
Taking this opportunity to take some time to rest may not necessarily be a bad thing.
Wu Cheng was suspicious: "Brother, why did Qin Feng stop suddenly?"
"This guy's supplies are obviously more abundant than ours. His soldiers have a physical advantage, so they should continue to pursue him."
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I suspect Qin Feng is up to some conspiracy."
Uhri also had his doubts.
On the one hand, he ordered a rest, and on the other hand, he sent scouts to investigate and try to figure out Qin Feng's intentions as much as possible.
On the other side, Qin Feng had already begun to lead the soldiers to set up tents and build simple shelters.
Although spring has begun, it is still extremely difficult to sleep in the open air once night arrives.
Since you have to stop, make it as comfortable as possible while ensuring safety.
Anyway, Qin Feng was sure that Uhli did not dare to send troops to attack.
Everyone finally had a good sleep and recharged their energy. In the early morning of the next day, they still had no plans to pursue. Qin Feng took the lead in building a stove.
As soon as he saw that the stove was being built, Zhao Zhenhai burst out laughing: "Hahaha, King Qin, no wonder you have to stop. Are you planning to have a good meal?"
Qin Feng's face was also filled with a smile, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "This is natural!"
"Brothers have worked hard during this period. It's appropriate to have a good meal and reward them."
"According to the rules, the supplies transported by the baggage camp must contain meat."
"But meat is inconvenient to store, and it is not cost-effective for marching. It is better to consume it directly and only carry the most useful supplies."
"Brothers, open your cheeks for me tonight, eat hard, and try to eat as much meat as possible."
"It not only reduces waste, but also reduces the burden on the transport camp on the way back."
As soon as this was said, the crowd burst into cheers.
The two scouts who were hiding not far away and observing secretly couldn't help but mutter.
"What the hell are these guys doing?"
"The pursuit suddenly stopped and he was actually cheering."
"Could it be that Qin Feng decided to go home and they were finally able to leave the Qilian Mountains, so they were so happy?"
"Hahaha, don't be naive. Qin Feng has built a shelter and a stove. He clearly plans to stay there for a long time."
"I don't understand... Anyway, let's report the news to the commander first."
The two scouts left quietly, and that evening, the baggage camp appeared in front of Qin Feng as promised.
Fifty people led fifty donkeys and carried large sacks, which was extremely hard work.
Finally meeting up with Qin Feng, the soldiers in the transport camp breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, we have fulfilled our mission and have delivered all the supplies safely."
"Please count, Your Majesty."
Qin Feng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to count.
"Leave the military rations such as meat, fried pancakes, pot helmets, and arrows, and take the rest back."
Hearing this, the soldiers in the transport camp couldn't help but be stunned.
They went through all kinds of hardships and finally delivered the supplies, but half of them were unloaded and they had to take the rest back?
Isn't this just a joke?
The captain who took the lead could not help but frown: "Your Majesty, why do you want to bring the supplies back? Isn't this trip in vain?"
