It was extremely bumpy on horseback.
Whether it is a saddle or stirrups, they actually need some improvements.
Now, the news about the Craftsman Academy has been passed on.
However, the news is still spreading within Jingzhou for the time being.
In a deep mountain.
A dark-looking guy sat quietly in the middle of a lobby, looked at the people below, paused, and then said softly: "You should all know about the craftsman's courtyard, right?"
"yes!"
"It's just that I still don't know what the situation is like in this craftsman's academy!"
Immediately afterwards, the guy looked at a woman in her twenties and said softly: "Tian'er! How about you go down the mountain? Get to know the craftsman's courtyard carefully. In addition, also get to know this person named Liu Qi. young people!"
"If he is really willing to treat us craftsmen well, I will bring your brothers down the mountain with me!"
"Yes, father..."
…
Huang Zhong was outside Runan City at this moment, biting a small group of Yellow Turban Army.
After two hours, this small group of Yellow Turban Army was completely annihilated.
Below, Lu Jie came out, took a look at Huang Zhong, and then asked softly: "General, this time we have a great victory. A total of 800 Yellow Turbans were annihilated and nearly 2,000 were captured!"
"What to do now?"
Lu Jie handed this problem to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's brows frowned deeply, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How long do we have enough food and grass to last?"
Huang Zhong's voice was very soft.
"There is some food and grass baggage, but this time the march is more urgent. If we continue in such a high-intensity battle, the food and grass will only be enough to last for about more than a month!"
Huang Zhong took a deep breath.
"How about we write to Jiangxia and ask the lord to gather food and grass?"
Lu Jie's voice was very soft.
At this moment, Huang Zhong and Lu Jie were extremely conflicted. In other words, they both wanted to eat a piece of the Yellow Turban Army.
Although he is a remnant.
But if they can survive this cruel battlefield, they have successfully become veterans.
For them, these veterans are actually very precious. Because they are familiar with the rules of the battlefield, they can form a team in a short time and join the battle.
It only takes a little training before you can participate in the battle.
But now, there is a more cruel problem. That means their food and grass are insufficient.
The overall food and grass in Jiangxia is insufficient.
If these people want to gather together, they need more than just some food and grass. You need to equip some equipment, armor, weapons, and even some horses, food, clothing, use, etc...
This time we were marching outside, and what we were going to fight was a simple war.
Not even the most basic fortifications were built.
What they want to fight is not a protracted war. Then naturally you won't carry too much food.
But now, this makes them extremely embarrassed.
These people can’t eat.
If it were to be eaten, it would most likely collapse first due to the shortage of supplies in the army.
And there is no way to kill him!
Killing and surrendering are unknown.
The most important thing is that these people cannot be let go yet.
If they were let go, I'm afraid they would be rounded up soon. Continue to deal with Huang Zhong and the others.
"How about we ask Gan Ning, General Gan?"
At this time, Lu Jie suddenly said: "Since he has occupied Runan City, there must be some food and grass in the city."
"well!"
Huang Zhong sighed and shook his head helplessly!
"Xing Ba has already talked to me about this. There is some money in the city, and although the Yellow Turban Army has looted some food, it is not much. They can even out some, but it is only a drop in the bucket. That’s all!”
Huang Zhong's voice was somewhat solemn.
yes!
The Yellow Turban Army is so greedy, how could they leave too much food for you in the city? If there really was a lot of food in Runan City, then there would be no need for them to burn, kill, loot and displace the people!
After hearing this!
Lu Jie's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "If this is really the case, then we have no other choice, there is only one way."
"what way?"
Huang Zhong asked hurriedly.
"These Yellow Turbans are so evil!"
"You actually pretended to surrender. You want to cut off our army's retreat at a critical moment! It's really hateful..."
There was a bit of viciousness in Lu Jie's eyes!
"Deserves to be killed!"
Who is Huang Zhong? That is also a human spirit-like existence.
After hearing this, I understood it instantly.
Looking at Lu Jie in front of him, he felt a little sweaty.
Although this method sounds a bit cruel, it is still the best method nowadays.
"I'd better ask my lord for instructions!"
"How do I ask for instructions now?"
Lu Jie was a little shocked.
Huang Zhong chuckled. Only a limited number of people knew about the homing pigeons.
"Come here, bring me the pigeons I raised!" Huang Zhong's voice was very soft. Then, before returning to the desk, he thought carefully and wrote a line of small words on a piece of cloth.
"Two thousand Yellow Turbans have been captured today. They are suspected of being a fake surrender and will be executed in two days!"
After Huang Zhong finished writing this line of small words, he gently tied the cloth strip to the pigeon's leg, went outside, and released the pigeon.
In fact, Huang Zhong is also extremely smart.
This kind of thing is really too big.
If Liu Qi really blamed him in the future, he would not be able to bear it.
However, under normal circumstances, the communication efficiency is too slow, and it will take three or four days to come and go. Plus there's the possibility of delays.
Therefore, Huang Zhong used this method!
"Can this pigeon fly back to Xiakou?"
At this time, Lu Jie's eyes showed a bit of disbelief, and then he asked softly.
Huang Zhong nodded slightly: "When my lord handed this carrier pigeon to me, he already explained that this carrier pigeon remembers the location of the Xiakou Military Camp. Naturally, it can fly back!"
"It's a pity that this homing pigeon can't communicate back and forth!"
Thinking of this, Huang Zhong was quite helpless.
Lu Jie was a little surprised, then shook his head and said: "There is no need to be depressed, these pigeons should belong to Shi's family. If so, can we raise some in Runan City and bring them to Xiakou?" "
"In this way, wouldn't it be possible for both parties to quickly transmit information?"
Lu Jie's eyes lit up.
