The Sheriff was stunned.
He ran forward in disbelief and opened the grain bag with his own hands. Grains of millet flowed out. The corps leader did not lie to him!
The county guard couldn't help but laugh to the sky. Now he no longer had to worry about food problems!
He looked at the corps commander excitedly.
"How did you do it?"
The corporal commander responded with a smile.
"It's all the censor's fault!"
"He convinced all the refugees on the road not to block the food route again!"
"And they were recruited into the army. Now that the food roads are open we no longer have logistical worries!"
The county guard's eyes widened immediately. The censors he had met in the past were all those who were not only domineering.
He always wants to cause trouble for officials and generals, but he has never met such an awesome censor.
Moreover, this is food that even Qian General and so many people could not bring back.
Not only did the censor accomplish this, but he also completely cleared the grain channels and solved all hidden dangers at once?
The magistrate, who was instantly relieved, blinked and said loudly.
"These censors are simply the parents of food and clothing!"
"I am truly lucky to have met you!"
He looked around, but did not see Ying Xuan and other forbidden soldiers.
Can't help but wonder.
"Where's the censor?"
The corps commander spoke.
"The censor still has something to do, so he ordered me to come back first!"
"and……"
Before he finished speaking, the county guard waved his hand reassuringly.
He personally led everyone to the camp.
The lieutenant in the camp is still thinking hard!
How can we not lose military morale before reinforcements arrive? Do we really have to slaughter the war horses?
This kind of behavior is simply an indelible shame for the leading generals!
But the next second, the smell of rice porridge suddenly came from outside the tent.
The lieutenant was immediately furious. Food was already so scarce that one person only had half a meal. Now was not the time to eat, so someone dared to steal it.
He suddenly pulled out his sword and stepped out of the military tent with a cold face.
I thought that today I must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys in order to control the chaos!
But when I looked up, I saw that the whole camp was filled with smoke and cooking was happening everywhere.
The soldiers were so happy that even the prime minister and the captain each carried a portion to eat, their cheeks bulging.
The county captain was stunned.
"Are you crazy? Are you going to attack the city and die after eating the last food and grass?"
At this time, the prime minister and the captain reacted and hurriedly gave the captain a basket.
"The lieutenant misunderstood! This is the food brought back by the censor. It contains two thousand dan, and there is no way to finish it!"
The county lieutenant was immediately shocked!
The censor only brought two hundred people, but he really sent the food back?
Moreover, it was still two thousand stones, and there was no loss at all!
He couldn't help but think again of what he saw when Ying Xuan left.
The more I think about it now, the more I think those two hundred people might be the Forbidden Army!
You must know that in this era, there is an insurmountable gap in combat effectiveness between ordinary soldiers and professional soldiers such as the Forbidden Army.
Ordinary soldiers have to farm after fighting, and training is infrequent in order to save food.
But apart from eating and sleeping every day, the Imperial Guards only have to train to kill and defend themselves!
It can be said that the forbidden army can easily fight against enemy formations several times its own if they cooperate well.
It's a pity that the price is too high and the quantity is too small for Xianyang to be able to raise them.
The lieutenant took a breath. If those people were really the Forbidden Army, then what was the identity of this censor?
He began to think about that uncontrollably, but his reason kept telling him that it was impossible.
No one does these things with their identity hidden.
Just when he was wondering, the captain had already handed over the rice.
He subconsciously wanted to take a few bites.
A mocking voice sounded.
"Huh? Didn't someone just complain that I encouraged the censor to solve the food and grass problem?"
"You still say that the censor is going to die?"
"Why do you eat so deliciously now? Does your face hurt?"
The county guard came out of nowhere, and the county lieutenant rolled his eyes at him and continued eating, ignoring his villain.
"Hahaha!"
The governor was very happy to see the county captain who didn't reply. He finally won the fight this time!
Excited, he picked a carriage and stood on it.
"Fellow soldiers! From today onwards, the number of pilgrimage meals will be increased! It will be changed to three times a day! For the siege soldiers, it can be increased to four times!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers cheered and their momentum was high, but the county lieutenant almost spit out the rice in his mouth.
He yelled angrily in a low voice.
"Are you crazy?"
"Even if you have two thousand stones, this is not how you use it!"
"What if we can't attack for a long time?"
But the county guard ignored it. After announcing, he turned and looked at the three people seriously.
"Don't eat? If you don't eat now, you will die!"
"The censor issued a death order! At midnight tonight, we must attack the city with all our strength, and we must hold back the enemy's frontal forces for two hours regardless of the cost!"
"Two whole hours? You have to risk your life to fill it!"
The good impression that the county lieutenant had for Ying Xuan just now disappeared again!
"Why do you do this? Even if he brings back food, the lives of my soldiers are not given like this!"
"You know you can't attack but you still want to die? Just because of his achievements?"
But who knew that the county governor had no intention of belittling Ying Xuan this time.
Instead, he said solemnly.
"Because the censor wants to personally lead people into the city to behead them! End this rebellion once and for all!"
The lieutenant's eyes widened again.
"Crazy! Crazy! Everyone is crazy!"
The Prime Minister and the Captain on the side also had serious expressions!
In two hours, if the siege continues without stopping, the 30,000-strong army will suffer heavy casualties!
"Why not wait for reinforcements?"
The Sheriff didn't answer.
"On Yushi Road, we gathered all the resisting refugees and joined the army. We know why they rebelled!"
Several people frowned and looked at the county guard, which had always puzzled them.
"Because their family members were all taken into Shouchun City!"
"As long as they don't obey and don't try their best to intercept the food and grass, the bodies of their family members will be hung on the city wall the next day!"
The captain's eyes suddenly widened, and now he knew that the corpses hanging on the city wall were not for them to see.
The Sheriff continued.
"Now that the food road is open, if we don't attack the city, all the refugees around will be useless, and their families will all be killed."
After a pause, he whispered.
"Moreover! Even if we wait for reinforcements! Will the nearly 100,000 Chu people in Shouchun City survive?"
"According to what those beasts do, why don't we push them to the front to block the arrows!"
"The best result then is to anger the general and order the massacre of the city!"
He looked up.
"You are both from Chu! Can you bear to see your fellow tribesmen slaughtered like this?"
After saying these words, the three of them fell silent.
The county guard is not from Chu, but they are all!
"So, the censor is the last chance! This is also the last chance for the people of Shouchun!"
"It's also your last chance!"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he was silent for a few breaths.
"You think about it for yourselves! If you don't want the soldiers to lose their lives, I will send someone to inform the censor to say that it can't be done!"
"At worst, I will die if you disobey me!"
After saying this, the Sheriff was ready to leave.
The county lieutenant suddenly said.
"Is the censor a native of Chu?"
"He can risk his life to enter the city for the sake of the Shouchun people? Could it be that I, with thirty thousand Chu generals, can't even make a feint attack?"
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the county guard with a firm gaze.
I bowed respectfully!
"Although I always talk back to you! But you know it!"
"We respect you from the bottom of our hearts!"
"Perhaps you will change to an obedient subordinate after this battle, but please tell the censor!"
"The blood of my Chu people will not change!"
At this time, dozens of soldiers not far away suddenly stood up and interrupted.
"What two hours! The censor looks down on us!"
"We must capture the city wall today to show him!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers around him also spoke.
"That's right! Capturing the city wall will help the censor gain knowledge!"
Then the shout seemed to infect the rest of the group, who shouted in unison.
"Siege the city! Siege the city! Siege the city!"
