Zhang Mo did not lead the three of them to a crowded place, but instead walked towards the carriages parked under the forest. These carriages were piled with large and small sacks, which must have been filled with grains and grains.
The horses pulling the carts have been unloaded and are grazing nearby, while the carriages are parked there with jack poles supporting the shafts.
When he got close, Zhang Moyan used his spiritual energy and grabbed a few sacks from the car to use as seats for Chang Sheng and others.
Changsheng was not sure why Zhang Mo called him here at first, but when he saw that the weeds in the area where the horses were were almost eaten away, he knew the answer in his heart. The grain team had been staying here for a long time. When Zhang Shan arrived, Zhang Shan said that the army was facing a dilemma of running out of food, and it was barely supported by some of the Ni family's industries spread across various places. According to the time calculation, after Zhang Shan returned to the military camp, Zhang Mo should have gone out to collect food and grass immediately. The army was short of food but the food team was stranded here, which was undoubtedly hindered on the way back to the camp.
Thinking of this, before Zhang Mo could speak, Changsheng asked, "Is it because the food and grass cannot be transported back?"
"Yes," Zhang Mo nodded and pointed to the northwest, "In the past, the military rations allocated by the imperial court were transported from the official road to the north. But now that the military rations are cut off, we can only find a way on our own. In addition to the official road in the north, the entire Hanzhong Under the control of the rebels, we had risked several shipments of food and grass from under their noses before, but now the rebels are alert and all roads leading to the camp are heavily guarded."
Zhang Mo paused for a moment before continuing, "Hanzhong City has plenty of food and the rebels have many generals. It was very difficult for us to fight. Some time ago, Yang Shouxin invited a lot of heretics, and These heretics also invited many evil spirits and ghosts, so we fought harder and harder. After the storming of Liangzhou failed, the two armies had fallen into a stalemate. At this time, if our army sent troops to receive food and grass, it would be tantamount to going deep alone, and it would inevitably be attacked. Rebel interception and siege.”
Before the three people could answer, Zhang Mo said again, "Right now, the army has run out of food. It will take at least half a month for the food team to bypass Hanzhong."
Although Zhang Mo removed several sacks from the carriage, only Batulu himself sat down. Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Batulu patted his chest and said, "Brothers and sisters, don't worry, we are here." Things will be easier to handle, no need to go around, just rush over."
Zhang Mo had known for a long time that Changsheng's eldest brother was not very bright, so he didn't mind hearing his nonsense. He just smiled and nodded, "Elder brother is invincible and brave, no one can stop you."
People like to hear good words, and Batulu is no exception. He grinned happily when Zhang Mo praised him.
While Zhang Mo was talking to Batulu, Chen Liqiu took a few steps back and sat down on the sack. Then he pulled a piece of dogtail grass and put it in his mouth. Although he was usually idle, he was actually both civil and military and resourceful, but he was immortal at the moment. Here, he will naturally not turn his back on guests.
"How many days have you been staying here?" Changsheng asked.
"Two days," Zhang Mo said, "This place is only one hundred and fifty miles away from our camp. Fifty miles ahead is the three-way intersection of the official road. I have sent people to investigate. There are at least two thousand rebels stationed there. . Thirty miles away from our camp is the rebel's front army position. The enemy's front army has 30,000 soldiers and horses, distributed in a fan shape within ten miles of the position."
After listening to Zhang Mo's words, Changsheng frowned and nodded. To transport grain and grass back to the camp, he needed to cross two obstacles. If it were light cavalry, it would not be difficult to cross these two obstacles. However, the grain transport team was slow and not as fast as the cavalry, and the horses They are all moving forward with heavy loads, and there are many goats among them, dragging their families with them, and their moving speed is not even as fast as ordinary infantry.
Changsheng was not in a hurry to speak, but walked to a nearby sack and sat down. Zhang Mo was not in a hurry to ask for advice, because she knew that the current situation was extremely difficult, and even though Changsheng was wise, she could not immediately think of a feasible solution. .
Seeing the solemn expressions on several people's faces, Batulu said again, "No matter if they have two thousand or thirty thousand, they can't stop us. We can just rush over and kill them all."
When he was thinking deeply, he was most afraid of someone yelling around. Seeing Chen Liqiu wanting to frown and blame Batulu, Changsheng spoke first, "Elder brother, there will be a bloody battle later. You can't let your sacred cow fight hungry. There is plenty of rice here, take a bag and feed it."
"Okay." Batulu stood up, grabbed a sack and turned around to leave.
"Hey, hey, put it down, put it down." Chen Liqiu waved his hand to stop him.
"What are you doing? I didn't eat your food." Batulu glared.
"This bag is still beans, you are afraid that it will not fart," Chen Liqiu pointed to the carriage next to him, "Take that, that cart is millet."
"Oh." Batulu changed a bag of millet and went to feed it.
When Batulu walked away, Changsheng said, "It's easy to talk about the two thousand in front, but the problem is the thirty thousand in the back. If the thirty thousand in the back get the news, they will immediately gather the soldiers scattered within ten miles and intercept them with all their strength. , our food team will definitely not be able to rush through by then."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, neither Zhang Mo nor Chen Liqiu answered.
Changsheng said again, "The three-way intersection is only seventy miles away from the enemy's front army position. With a beacon signal, the thirty thousand soldiers and horses behind can receive the news."
Zhang Mo and Chen Liqiu still didn't answer. Changsheng said that these were just analyzing the situation and sorting out their thoughts, not asking for their opinions.
"How many soldiers are there in our food team?" Changsheng looked at Zhang Mo.
"No more than two hundred." Zhang Mo replied.
After hearing Zhang Mo's answer, Chang Sheng did not ask any more questions. Two hundred soldiers could not do much, and it was almost negligible.
It's definitely a worry, because we can't take a detour, we can only rush in. When we rush in, we can't use our troops quickly, and we can't alert the enemy's 30,000 front troops.
It is easy to find problems. Most people's first reaction after encountering a problem is to retreat instead of facing the difficulty and finding a way to solve the problem. To judge whether a person is a coward or a brave person, just look at whether he passively retreats when encountering difficulties and dangers, or whether he rushes forward bravely.
After pondering for a long time, Changsheng finally thought of a way, and then considered many details in his mind, and then turned to look at Zhang Mo, "You called me here, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang Mo did not reply, but glanced at Chen Liqiu who was watching Batulu feeding the cows.
Although Zhang Mo did not speak, Changsheng already knew what she was thinking. Zhang Mo originally thought that he was with Datou and others. Previously, he and Datou Shi Xuanming attacked Qilin Town at night, and the three of them teamed up to kill more than 600 Japanese pirates. If Coupled with Yang Kai and Yu Yi, the five of them joined forces to annihilate the two thousand enemy troops at the three forks of the road. After dealing with the two thousand enemy troops, they combined the power of the five of them to protect their own grain team and break into the enemy. military position.
But Zhang Mo didn't expect that he was not with Da Tou and the others. The only ones who came were him and Batulu Chen Liqiu. Naturally, the strength of Batulu and Chen Liqiu could not be compared with Da Tou and the other four people. The reason why she did not explain clearly I was worried that Chen Liqiu would feel uncomfortable after hearing this.
"Is there any village near the three-way intersection?" Changsheng asked.
"Yes," Zhang Mo picked up a branch and drew it on the ground, "There is a village here, there is one here, and there is another one at this location."
"How far is it from the three-way intersection?" Changsheng asked with a frown.
"These two are very close, only two or three miles away. The northwest one is farther away, probably five or six miles away." Zhang Mo said.
Changsheng frowned when he heard what Zhang Mo said. His plan was to poison the two thousand enemy troops guarding the three-way intersection to death or stun them. This was the only way to avoid alerting the three soldiers seventy miles away. With tens of thousands of enemy troops, he asked if there was a nearby village for the purpose of quietly poisoning. If there was no village, the sudden smoke would make the enemy wary and suspicious. If there was a village, he could burn poisonous grass near the village, even if the enemy If you find smoke, you will think it is cooking smoke in the evening.
The wind is blowing from the southeast right now, and the wind is blowing northwest. If the poisonous weeds are burned, the poisonous mist will poison the soldiers and also affect the villagers in the village. This is not a joke. No matter how powerful his Qihuang technique is, It was impossible to determine the distance at which the poisonous mist spread. The most important thing was to poison all the enemy troops to death. The poisonous weeds used must be highly poisonous. If the villagers accidentally inhaled and were poisoned, they would definitely die.
Zhang Mo and Chen Liqiu were both smart people. Seeing that Changsheng stopped asking questions after asking for a few details, they guessed that he had thought of a feasible solution but was hindered and troubled, so they turned to look at him and waited for him to speak.
Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to poison the two thousand enemies at the three-way intersection with poisonous smoke, and then traveled all night. When the food team approached the enemy's position, the first and third senior brothers went to sneak attack the enemy camp to distract their attention. The two of us will protect the food team through the enemy's positions and return to our own camp."
Changsheng paused for a moment before continuing, "The biggest problem right now is that there is a village downwind. Once the poisonous smoke spreads, the people in the village will definitely die."
After hearing Chang Sheng's words, the two of them frowned and remained silent. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to ask Chang Sheng whether he could control the toxicity of the poisonous smoke, because if they could control the intensity and spread of the poisonous smoke, Chang Sheng would not be so worried.
The three of them didn't speak for a long time. This was a big problem. They would be criticized if they harmed innocent people in a war. Moreover, the three of them were not cruel people. They always couldn't bear to harm innocent people.
But the problem is right in front of us. If we want to be morally flawless, our own soldiers will starve. If you want to take the overall situation into consideration, you will kill innocent people...
