"There is no need for a banquet. I will bring my own dry food. Also! If I want to wipe out the Wanzhou rebels, I need to temporarily set up a base in Mou County to serve as a logistics supply fortress." Dongfang Yu explained.

Mou County is the best central supply station for transporting grain and grass from Beiliang to Wanzhou.

Jia Kun was stunned for a moment, finding it unbelievable that there was a king eating dry food, which was not the same as ordinary soldiers eating and drinking.

actually! The food and drink of the Qin army are still very rich, and compared with ordinary soldiers of the Wu Kingdom, their treatment is not generally better. Even when marching and fighting, ordinary soldiers can only eat porridge and porridge, which can't keep their stomachs down. Qin Jun's breakfast must at least include steamed buns and broth.

Moreover, in the method of making food through Dongfang Yu, the meat is compressed and packaged, which is more convenient for portability. Moreover, if the morning is not good, they also prepare their own noodles (that is, instant noodles).

If there is an emergency, bread will naturally become the main food for breakfast. It cooks quickly, fills you up, and doesn’t delay your military affairs.

"I obey your order!"

Jia Kun respectfully said that he would make way for the Qin army to enter the city.

"Here's the order, the army is camped outside, no one is allowed to disturb the people, no laws are broken, anyone who disobeys the order!"

"cut!"

Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, brought Xu Meng and Yuwen Hu into Mou County.

With an army of 40,000, even the small Mou County must be overcrowded. The most important thing is, where will the army live after entering the city?

"this……"

Jia Kun's eyes were opened. What is order and prohibition, what is well-trained, what is the army of the people? Isn't this the team in front of him?

Bai Qi and Zhang Han also cleaned up the battlefield, escorted more than 6,200 prisoners, and harvested 350 shi of grain and grass (according to one hundred kilograms per stone, which is 35,000 kilograms), enough for 10,000 Dajun, eat normally for three days.

"General Bai Qi and the 6,200 prisoners are all being escorted back to Mou County... Our army is already a little short of food and grass. What will we do if we add 6,000 more mouths?" Zhang Han whispered to Bai Qi quietly.

Bai Qi was also helpless, "Escort him back first and let the king decide what to do with him. If that doesn't work...just kill him!"

It's better to kill than to carry a bunch of burdens.

"That's all!"

Then! The two of them escorted the prisoners and prepared to return to Mou County.

As for the Qin army led by Bai Qi, except for a few hundred who were slightly injured, no one was killed in the battle.

At this time, Li Jing led his army and rushed to the Huangpao camp thirty miles away.

"Command officers, don't be too hasty."

"Everyone, take a break, eat some dry food and dried meat, and replenish some strength."

According to Li Jing's analysis, the 30,000 troops here should be Wanzhou Zhang Kun, who sent out to attack the city and seize food, just like the 10,000 yellow-robed army outside Mou County. Isn't it just for the food in Mou County? You can't leave even if you gather your troops!

Li Xiaozhi also put down his heavy hammer, walked to sit down next to Li Jing, chewed dried meat and steamed buns, and asked: "Brother! How can we wipe out all 30,000 enemy troops?"

If Li Xiaozhi, a barbarian, said it, he would use the hammer in his hand to break open a bloody path.

But the opponent still has an army of 30,000 soldiers, six times the strength. Perhaps a frontal attack can win the battle. But since ancient times, we have injured three thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses ourselves. If the five thousand troops have been defeated, what's the use of defeating the enemy.

Li Jing already had a solution and said in Li Xiaozhi's ear: "It's not as good as us..."

After muttering a few words quietly, Li Xiaozhi, this stupid thing, just didn't understand the reason.

"Brother, what are you doing!" Li Xiaozhi looked confused.

Li Jing said: "Don't ask, I have my own merits."

Until noon, Li Xiaozhi sent people around, collected a lot of carriage planks, and hitched the horses. It was undoubtedly a carriage.

One hundred carriages, no more, no less.

Then, Li Jing ordered the soldiers to take out the sacks. The sacks were filled with wood, except for a few bags, which contained millet.

Li Jing's method is very simple, that is, to lure the snake out of its hole and then defeat it one by one.

Suddenly! He also asked his most capable lieutenant to lead a thousand men and escort a hundred carriages.

and! Resolutely not to fly the flag, so as to prevent the yellow-robed army from seeing the Qin-character banner and being discouraged from leaving the stronghold.

To fake the real thing, one carriage can pull about three hundred kilograms, and one hundred carriages, that is thirty thousand kilograms of grain. Thirty thousand kilograms of grain is equivalent to three hundred shi.

Enough for an army of 30,000 to eat and drink normally for a day.

Li Jing didn't believe that Huangpao Jun could let go of such a tempting thing.

and! Li Jing's order was to deliberately act arrogantly and pretend to be sneaky, so that the yellow-robed army would know.

That is, deliberately letting the Yellow Robe Army find out.

Li Jing, who led his army, lurked halfway up the road, waiting for the yellow-robed army to rob the food. When he discovered that he had been tricked, he led his army to rush out from the flank.

Kill him by surprise.

Normally, official food would naturally go through the official route, but Li Jing asked the deputy general to go astray, deliberately showing a cautious look.

Five o'clock in the evening!

The convoy led by the deputy general was directly targeted by the yellow robe scouts sent from the Huangpao headquarters three miles away. The deputy general, in order to convince the yellow-robed scout even more, deliberately stayed in place and opened the sack. The white millet instantly attracted the yellow-robed scout.

Such good-looking Xiaomi must be official rice!

A few people were left to continue staring, while the other person rushed back to the camp.

At this time, in the Huangpao Camp, some of the troops who went out to plunder had also returned.

It was originally a large camp of 30,000 yellow-robed troops. The number of soldiers at this time was around 23,000. The other soldiers either went out to rob or raid villages, and they would not return until at least the second or third day. .

but! Such an unorganized and undisciplined army will be defeated sooner or later.

"Report!"

"Commander, what good news!"

The scout rolled and crawled back into the tent.

"You kid, what good news did you get back? In which village did you see a woman?" the commander teased.

Hahaha~

Suddenly, there was roaring laughter from all around.

The general's name was Bu Zhi, and the leader of this army was Zhang Kun's capable general.

"No... no, at Xiaokou three miles away from our army's camp, an army transporting grain was found... The young man specifically counted it. There were a hundred, each of which was loaded with grain. Or was it? Xiaomi. The most important thing is that they only have a thousand officers and soldiers." The scout stammered.

What?

Bu Zhi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up immediately.

The voice was extremely rude: "They didn't follow the official path."

"I didn't leave. I took the path at the bottom of the mountain. And! I also put away the official flag."

Hahaha~

Bu Zhi laughed, "Put away the flag, do you think we don't know?"

"You really don't know how to live or die, and you still dare to walk wantonly in my defense area. Since the meat is delivered to your door, don't give it up for free."

"Come here! Gather five thousand troops and follow my general to march!"

No……

Bu Zhiyou suddenly felt something was wrong, "Order 10,000 soldiers and horses and set off with my general."

All the commanders in the camp, big and small, also followed the steps to seize the camp.

Ten minutes later, the 10,000-strong army was mobilized and set off toward the outside of the camp.
