Chapter 940: Food and Grass

Meng Huo shook his head slightly and said:

"Forget it, forget it."

"You just made an unintentional mistake."

At this time, Dong Tuna frowned and said:

"But King, what should we do now?"

"The Wuxi Barbarians, who are so powerful, were defeated."

"If we confront the Baifeng Army head-on, I'm afraid we won't get any advantage."

Mang Yachang said disdainfully:

"Dong Tuna, what are you afraid of?"

"Wait for Meng You to bring all the soldiers of the cave master and King Mulu to us. We have at least 140,000 or 150,000 soldiers. !"

"With so many soldiers, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the more than 10,000 soldiers in Bai Feng's hands?"

Dong Tuna glared at Mang Yachang:

"How do you know that he only has more than 10,000 soldiers?"

"The Great Wei has so many soldiers, even if Bai Feng only has more than 10,000 soldiers."

"But, doesn't Bashu have any soldiers?"

"If all of them are united by Bai Feng, what should we do to deal with Nanzhong?"

"How many defenders are there in Bashu? Think about it yourself!"

Mang Yachang was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the news that the scouts had found out before.

The defenders of Bashu are at least 200,000!

Of these 200,000, only about 70,000 or 80,000 are from Bashu.

However, all the others are soldiers from the Great Wei.

Therefore, with Bai Feng's influence, it is not difficult to easily gather these soldiers to fight together in a short time.

What's more, Bai Feng is troublesome enough with just these soldiers in his hands.

Jinhuan Sanjie said unhappily:

"What are you afraid of?"

"They have people, but we also have King Mulu!"

"Have you forgotten that King Mulu has more than just these soldiers to use!"

"The wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests all obey his orders."

"No matter how many soldiers there are, if they are targeted by these wolves, tigers and leopards, they will definitely die!"

No one has ever doubted the strength of King Mulu.

After all, King Mulu is basically the only one among the seventy-two cave masters who can use magic.

But there is definitely more than King Mulu.

In fact, nearly half of the cave masters of the seventy-two caves are somewhat ignorant of the world.

Although Meng Huo is the king of Nanzhong, he did not recognize all of them.

These cave masters who don't like to show up, although Meng Huo knows where their cave entrances are, but some of them have never seen them.

But this does not prevent these cave masters from listening to Meng Huo's orders.

If it really comes to a critical moment, these cave owners will definitely not stay out of it.

After all, they still understand the principle of "lips and teeth are cold".

Therefore, Meng Huo is not sure whether these people have any hidden skills.

But Meng Huo will never take the initiative to find them unless it is absolutely necessary.

At present, the only people Meng Huo can trust are King Mulu and the cave owners.

"How long will it take them to arrive?"

Meng Huo asked with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Mang Yachang saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, it will take at least three days."

"They are not close to us, Your Majesty should know that."

Meng Huo nodded and said:

"Three days..."

"In these three days, we should not make any moves."

"How about the food and grass?"

Zhu Rong replied in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the food and grass can only support about two months at most."

"But... when the reinforcements arrive, it is uncertain."

"It is also possible that it can only support half a month."

Meng Huo's face suddenly changed:

"What?"

"How can it only support about half a month?"

"With so little food and grass, how can we fight these Wei troops?"

Zhu Rong couldn't help but sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, you should know that these grains are all saved by us as much as possible."

"Just for these two months of food and grass, we have accumulated for half a year."

Meng Huo couldn't help but clench his fists.

Meng Huo was not unaware of this situation, but he didn't expect it to be so nervous.

So much so that now, there is actually a feeling of urgency.

This won't work!

"If Bai Feng knows this, he will definitely fight with us."

"If this continues, we will definitely lose!"

"They have plenty of food!"

Meng Huo gritted his teeth.

Food is the source of the army.

If the food is cut off, it basically means destruction!

Now Meng Huo can only pray that Bai Feng doesn't know about this.

"During this period, try to send more troops to harass the Wei army!"

"Once you find an opportunity, lead the whole army out."

"If we fight with Bai Feng, we will definitely lose. We can only fight quickly and decisively."

Meng Huo gritted his teeth and wished he could send troops to fight Bai Feng to the death.

But he also knew that now was not the right time.

Before King Mulu and the cave master arrived with reinforcements, it would be better for him not to act rashly.

After all, Bai Feng is not a pushover. If you don't handle it well, you will most likely be counterattacked by Bai Feng, and end up in a miserable defeat.

"Mang Yachang, I'll leave this to you."

"Remember, don't have a head-on conflict with Bai Feng's army."

"You should also know their strength."

"He can directly wipe out all the Wuxi barbarian soldiers, which shows that he is definitely not easy to mess with."

"Remember!"

Meng Huo ordered in a deep voice.

Mang Yachang immediately received the order:

"Please rest assured, my king!"

"Mang Yachang will definitely live up to your trust!"

In fact, choosing Mang Yachang is also helpless.

Although Mang Yachang has a bad temper and is very likely to fall into the trap.

However, he is the most flexible in leading troops and the most skilled in martial arts among the three generals under his command.

As long as he can understand that he cannot have a head-on conflict with Bai Feng and get involved in the frontal battlefield, this plan will succeed.

After all, Meng Huo's main purpose in doing this is not to scare Bai Feng's army away in this way.

But to tell Bai Feng's army that his troops are not easy to mess with.

And if the battle continues, the consumption of food and grass will indeed be very high, and it is also to tell Bai Feng that his food and grass are sufficient.

However, this is just a bluffing tactic to delay the war.

What Meng Huo feared most was that Bai Feng would directly play a war of attrition with him, and wear him down until he ran out of food and grass.

It would be extremely difficult to win at that time.

Food and grass, food and grass...

These two words kept circling in Meng Huo's mind.

Without food and grass, he was basically useless and could not do anything at all.

If there were food and grass, Meng Huo would have the courage to fight Bai Feng directly.

He was never afraid of direct combat.

However, he had to feed the soldiers first.

If they couldn't even eat, who would fight?

Therefore, Meng Huo could only feel like he was going to burn his boats.
