After a night's rest, the Khitan army led by Yelu Yaoguang continued to move north.
Some of the cavalry were still used as infantrymen, responsible for transporting the Longquan treasure, while the refugees were dispersed in batches around the team transporting the Longquan treasure, and were carried northward.
Many refugees were arrested along the way. Some resisted at first and many escaped secretly. But after learning that they were responsible for two meals a day, they basically became honest.
Although these two so-called meals are just two meals of gruel, it is better than stability. What's more, the rice grains can be clearly seen in the gruel, which is barely enough to fill the stomach.
In this time of war and chaos, it is not easy to barely fill our stomachs.
In fact, if we really look into it carefully, in these troubled times, the number of people who actually died by the sword is far less than the number of people who died of starvation.
Due to the cooperation of the people, it did not cause any commotion, and even played a role in appeasing the newly joined refugees. Yelu Yaoguang ordered a meal of meat for the people.
Although the meal was only two or three scattered pieces of meat, mixed in the bowl of gruel, it was enough to make the refugees grateful who had not smelled the smell of meat for a long time.
However, what they didn't know was that the bowl of porridge they drank and the two or three small pieces of meat they ate were all looted by the Khitans from nearby villages and towns.
Because Yelu Yaoguang used refugees to cover the team transporting the Longquan treasure, Li Xingyun was afraid of hurting innocent people and did not rashly attack the main force of the Khitan army to which Yelu Yaoguang belonged.
However, one of the reasons why Li Xingyun targeted Yelu Yaoguang was to train troops, so naturally he would not let Yelu Yaoguang go so easily.
Staring at the team sent by Yelu Yaoguang to plunder villages and towns to replenish food and grass, they pursued and fought fiercely. Yelu Yaoguang's main force retreated at the slightest sign of trouble, following the principle of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we attack," making Yelu Yaoguang It was extremely difficult for Yao Guang's Khitan army to replenish food and grass, and its march north was greatly slowed down.
Of course, this is not the only thing that troubles Yelu Yaoguang and others...
"Generalissimo, there were a total of six teams that went out to replenish food and grass this time, and only two came back. One of them was chased all the way to the camp and almost never came back."
Yelu Huandan came to Yelu Yaoguang's side, his rough face as gloomy as water.
"That is to say, the food supply this time is only one-sixth of the previous one, right?"
Yelu Yaoguang frowned slightly, looked directly at Yelu Huandan and asked.
"Yes!" Yelu Huandan nodded.
"How much food and grass do we have left for our army?"
Yelu Yaoguang asked, taking out a map and spreading it in front of him.
"Simply we were well prepared when we went north, and the food and grass were quite considerable. If we don't count the refugees, we can last for half a month. If we include those refugees, we can probably last for ten days!"
General Yelv Huandan explained the situation of grain and grass in detail. Without a fixed supply of grain and grass, such a situation of grain and grass reserves is simply unimaginable for the Central Plains army, but for the Khitan army It is already very sufficient.
"In that case, let's not go out to plunder and replenish food for the time being, and wait until we get to this place!"
As he spoke, Yelu Yaoguang raised his hand and pointed to a marked point on the map in front of him.
Hearing this, Yelu Huandan looked at the map in front of Yelu Yaoguang and saw the two words "Jiang County" marked on the map where Yelu Yaoguang was pointing.
The place where they are now is actually not far from Jiangxian County. At the normal speed of the Khitan cavalry, it will not take more than a day to reach Jiangxian County.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Once they arrive in Jiangxian, they have more options.
"Go down and make arrangements. Remember that those refugees don't have too little food every day!"
Yelu Yaoguang waved his hand, signaling Yelu Huandan to step back.
"yes!"
Yelu Huandan responded, bowed and then exited the camp.
As Yelv Huandan left, only Yelv Yaoguang was left in the camp. As the footsteps of Yelv Huandan disappeared, the entire camp became completely quiet.
Yelu Yaoguang picked up a small flag with the word "Li" written on it from the side. He recalled the general movements of the Fengdu Ghost Riders reported before Yelu returned to Dan. Finally, he locked a place near Jiang County and placed the small flag with the word "Li" on it. Plugged it in.
Then he sat back on the chair, his deep eyes flashing with light, and he quietly stared at the small flag with the word "李" on the map.
Since that trial, he has become more wary and afraid of the real person behind the scenes, but he also pays less attention to Li Xingyun, the person who was pushed to the front of the stage, and has more contempt for him.
However, after these few days, he had to admit that he was a little too ambitious.
Infinitely magnifying the enemy who is out of reach, but ignoring the enemy in front of him. Since the mastermind behind the scenes arranged for Li Xingyun to restrain him, then Li Xingyun must have the ability to contain him, or even suppress him, or have such potential.
After these few days of fighting, Yelu Yaoguang saw the potential of Li Xingyun and Fengdu Ghost Rider.
He could see that Li Xingyun was training himself, and he was also training his troops.
Although Li Xingyun wanted to make a decision on the life and death of those refugees, he was also trying his best to find a way to solve it. He had an extremely sharp vision. He found his weakness as soon as he came up and targeted him to death.
The potential of the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry is really good. In just a few days, against the Khitan Cavalry to which he belongs, he can exchange five for one to three for one. Although there is an element of ambush in this, it is undeniable that this This kind of growth is really terrible.
For the time being, Yelu Yaoguang couldn't tell whether the growth of Fengdu Ghost Rider came from himself or from Li Xingyun's growth.
However, this is not important, as long as it is clear that from now on, Li Xingyun also needs to be taken seriously.
Looking at the small flag with the word "李", a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yelu Yaoguang's mouth.
"Let's see how you respond next!"
······
"Ah sneeze~"
In Taiyuan City, in the palace of Prince Jin, Jiang Yunqing sneezed hard.
Jiang Yunqing rubbed his nose, a little suspicious, who was talking about him constantly?
You know, this is already the eighth time he has sneezed.
Hmm~, there must be nothing wrong with his body. Someone must be thinking about him and talking about him.
Who is the empress? Or Chi Meng?
Jiang Yunqing felt that it should be both.
Thinking about seeing the empress soon after a long separation, Jiang Yunqing felt both uneasy and excited.
However, let’s finish explaining what we need to explain to Li Cunli first!
Looking up, Jiang Yunqing saw Li Cunli waiting at the door...
