Chapter 195: Dependence on the Enemy for Food

The food that Er Gouzi and his men sent this time was a relief to the urgent need.

But there were too many people on the front battlefield, and this amount of food could not last for a few days.

In the section that Fatty Chen was in charge of alone, there were tens of thousands of civilians, thousands of soldiers, and more than a hundred national defense troops.

Even if the civilians were allowed to eat grass every day, they would consume tens of thousands of kilograms of grass a day, and they had to taste some food.

Thousands of ordinary soldiers usually only needed to eat one or two marching pills a day.

But if the consumption was too great after the battle, at least dozens of pills would be consumed, and those with high cultivation would consume more.

At least 1,000 marching pills would be consumed to be equivalent to the energy of a spirit stone.

As for the more than 100 people of the national defense troops, the consumption was even greater.

On average, at least several stones of marching pills would be consumed every day, and there were countless other food and grass supplies.

In the end, all wars were still fought with manpower and material resources, and various resources.

As a grain road, Yang Tie could only keep running around to prepare food and supplies for the front line.

Er Gouzi led 200 men to escort the troops, and naturally followed them everywhere.

It was becoming increasingly difficult to get military rations, and we had to guard against the sabotage of those evil cultivators.

This time, the court transported a batch of supplies from various places, including 10,000 pills, 20,000 spirit stones, and 500 stones of marching pills.

When they arrived at Qingzhou Prefecture to receive them, two-thirds of the various supplies had been reduced.

Only more than 3,000 pills were left out of 10,000 pills, and inferior ones were used as good ones. Xuanyuan Pill became Juqi Pill, and Juqi Pill became Peiyuan Pill.

Yang Tie didn't care about it, and sent it to Fatty Chen, who didn't find it strange.

It turned out that everyone had already adapted to it, and only Er Gouzi was making a fuss.

Er Gouzi could only sigh that he had too little experience.

After Fatty Chen distributed the supplies, he could only solve the urgent needs.

"Yang Tie, Zhang Ergou, I need your help this time."

At this time, in a secret room, Fatty Chen was stroking a pair of shoes that were polished to a shine.

Yang Tie and Er Gouzi were sitting at the bottom. Er Gouzi felt that the pair of shoes in General Chen's hand looked familiar, but he couldn't remember them for a moment.

It seems that General Chen's hobby is really special. Others polish jade, wood, ore, bones and other objects, but he only likes to polish shoes.

"General Chen, please speak!"

"It's like this. After all, the problem of food and grass cannot quench thirst. It is the best policy to fight the enemy with food."

When General Chen spoke, his hands naturally stroked his shoes, just like stroking a docile and cute kitten.

"In fact, I have always had this idea. If the enemy can go, I can go too.

The Wan Yao Kingdom can go behind us to rob food, and we can also go behind them to rob food."

"General Chen has a good idea!"

Yang Tie applauded General Chen's idea and thought it was feasible.

Er Gouzi didn't say anything. He remembered that the military book also said so, but it would definitely not be so easy to implement.

"I have always wanted to send the National Defense Army to sneak into the hinterland of the Wan Yao Kingdom to grab food, but our people are being watched too closely by the enemy."

"As long as my soldiers leave, they will launch a fierce attack on the front line and can't get away at all."

"If the defense line is lost for a little food, it will be more than worth the loss."

"I have always been powerless. I want to do it but suffer from the lack of capable people until I saw the two heroes!"

Yang Tie and Er Gouzi probably came to their senses when they heard this. This is to let them go behind the enemy to sabotage and steal food.

"It is not easy to go deep behind the enemy. Let's take a long-term view and don't rush."

Yang Tie found that he might have to take risks himself, so he looked much more mature and prudent.

As an old official, he didn't have the awareness of sacrificing himself to illuminate others.

"Yang Tie, as the grain officer of Qingzhou, the soldiers on the frontline are now starving. What crime should you be punished for?"

"Why are two-thirds of the grain and military supplies allocated by the court missing? What crime should you be punished for?"

"If there is a mutiny due to insufficient food one day, I can only use your head!"

General Chen was not a pushover. Seeing that Yang Tie did not want to take risks, he directly put a big hat on him.

If this matter is investigated, it would not be too much to confiscate the family and exterminate the whole family.

Some things are like this. When it is not investigated, it is good for you, me and everyone.

But if they want to make trouble for you, everything you have done in the past, whether good or bad, will become evidence of guilt.

In addition, in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are many examples of killing grain officers to appease the army because of food problems, and the effect is immediate.

Thinking of this, Yang Tie and Er Gouzi broke out in cold sweat.

"General, I am willing to go deep behind enemy lines, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will be loyal to the Great Zhou."

What else can Yang Tie do now that he has been forced to this point? He can only obey orders.

Er Gouzi pondered in his heart, although he is a decent and upright official who loves the people like his own children.

But for the sake of the court, he can only resort to this last resort and reluctantly do some sneaky things.

"Of course, this trip is not for you to die, I will do everything I can to protect you."

General Chen said, and took out ten talismans, five for each person.

"There are two kinds of talismans for you, one is called the Thousand Miles Transmission Note, four for each person, which can be used to transmit messages within a range of three hundred miles."

"The remaining one is for your life, called the Thousand Miles Moving Talisman."

"Using this talisman, once activated, you can randomly move 100 miles away."

"But you should note that the moving talisman can only determine a general direction. The specific location to which it is teleported is random and cannot be determined."

"If you accidentally escape to a more dangerous place, it will only depend on your luck."

"Of course, I hope you never have to use this talisman."

Ergouzi took the talismans. These talismans had the same virtues as those of the Zhou government.

It's marked thousands of miles, which sounds very bluffing, but in fact it's only more than a hundred miles, which is too watery.

For example, General Chen's front line is said to have 100,000 troops. In fact, including the civilians, there are not 100,000 people. The real army only has a few thousand people.

He has already thought that when he returns to Sanyang County, he must impose heavy taxes on this kind of exaggerated and boastful behavior.

In the future, whoever dares to blow one hundred into one thousand or ten thousand will be taxed as one thousand or ten thousand.

"Tomorrow night, I will lead the Zhenguo Army and all the soldiers to attack the Ten Thousand Monsters Army and attract their attention."

"You two should take advantage of this opportunity and sneak out quietly."

"In the next 10 days, we will take the initiative to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom every day to create opportunities for you."

…………

"kill!"

"boom……"

As expected, General Chen launched a fierce attack, and the sound of killing was loud on the battlefield.

Two Zhenguo Army soldiers escorted Yang Tie and Er Gouzi over the city wall and passed through a path to bypass the battlefield.

"Two adults, we can only send you here. I wish you both good luck and look forward to your triumphant return."

"Farewell!"

Watching the two soldiers leave, and then looking towards the darkness ahead, Ergouzi didn't know where to go for a moment.

The distant shouts of killing still echoed through the sky.

In addition to the few life-saving talismans, General Chen also gave them a simple map and 50 storage bags each.

"Thirty miles further ahead, there is a warehouse belonging to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. If we move faster, we can get there tonight."

Ergouzi took out the map and looked at it and said.

“It’s better to take a look around the area first to see which place is the safest.

Just get some supplies, find a safe place to hide, hide for five, six, seven or eight days, and then you can go back to do your work. "

Yang Tie didn't want to be too desperate, he just wanted to find a place to fool around safely.

"We are just a small official. There is no need to work hard. If the sky falls, they will be able to hold it up."

When Er Gouzi heard what Yang Tie said, he suddenly became enlightened and felt that it made sense.

If Brother Ji were to be the emperor, he would still be willing to give it a try. The current emperor was not familiar with him, so why would he sacrifice his life for him?
