Before this matter was settled, Wu Er was still afraid. He was afraid that the Yanbei Army would go back on his words and cause trouble for the people on their side, causing the Yanbei Army to be on guard against them …
It was a good thing that the people he had brought this time were all very reliable. Even the supervising army sent by the general had shut their mouths on account of the military merits.
There was even less of a need to talk about the Yanbei Army. It was completely the same as what the outside world told him, that they would keep their promises and watch the discipline.
We might even think that one of us had a private stash of food. "
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Er. The meaning in his words was obvious.
Wu Er pretended he didn't understand. He didn't even give the other person a glance and narrated the words he had thought of beforehand to everyone.
Actually it was nothing much, just that they needed everyone to insist that they were travelling together, night and day, catching up to the Yanbei Army and using gunpowder to exchange for some food with them.
This time, Wu Er did not get a lot of food, but it was also not a small amount. With this batch of food, the soldiers of the Southern Wilderness would be able to last for at least another three to five days.
As for three to five days later?
Or they could chase up to Yanbei Army and fight him. Or, they could continue using gunpowder to exchange for food and keep switching until …
They would either find new military provisions or empty all the gunpowder in their hands.
Of course, if they really reached that step, they wouldn't have much to struggle for. They could only wait to die one by one.
Wu Er's group didn't dare to tarry on the road after they'd finished their confession, and they immediately took the food and walked towards the southern border soldiers' camp …
Just like before, Wu Er's group did not dare to stop and sleep. They travelled day and night at the same time and finally, after a day, brought the food to the barracks.
When they arrived at the barracks, the entire camp was frighteningly depressed. All of the soldiers were hungry to the point where their legs were weak. When they saw Wu Er and the others coming over, these people only raised their eyelids and did not have any other reactions.
Clearly, they were already starving.
"We …" Seeing this, the young man wanted to say that they had exchanged their supplies, and wanted to show their goodwill in front of the soldiers, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Er stopped him. "We have to go find the Great General."
"You …" How could he not know the meaning behind Wu Er's words? He glared fiercely at Wu Er and said, "You wait here, I will go and report to the general."
It was obvious that the little brother Niu had just failed in front of everyone, and now he was going to steal away the little brother Niu's credit in front of the great general.
Wu Er glanced at Niu Xiaoge, but didn't say anything. He silently lowered his head …
"Hmph." The young man snorted arrogantly and strode towards the general's tent.
"What are all of you …." After the young man had left, someone struggled to stand up and pointed at the carriage that Wu Er and the rest were driving in, asking curiously.
"These are all things that saved your lives." Wu Er did not hide anything as he whispered.
"Food?" The people around Wu Er were suddenly startled and their eyes lit up. They stretched out their hands to snatch it but were stopped by Wu Er, "The great general is about to arrive. "Don't get excited."
"No, no, no, give me a little first, just a little. "General, the general is here!" It's not our place either. " "He was afraid that others would know about it, so he lowered his voice and begged." The military talks about rules, you know. I can't do anything. " Wu Er shook his head, and pressed down heavily on the person's hand, pointing at the person beside him: "Look …. Everyone's waiting. I'm going to give you a handful of food, and you won't be able to eat it. "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, all of us will eat in one bite!"
I definitely won't let my brother starve again. "
Niu Xiaoge wanted to gain a good impression in front of the ordinary soldiers, but he was stopped by Wu Er. However, Wu Er didn't mind; he stepped on him to gain a good impression in front of the soldiers.
Besides, he was the one who did it, and he was right about that, wasn't he?
"Really?" The man's eyes were shining as he looked at the food on the carriage. He didn't want to look away, but he didn't dare to move.
They had been hungry for four days, and they had no strength left. He struggled to get up, exhausted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been blocked by Wu Er and be unable to move.
"When have I ever lied to you all? Sit down first. You'll have to wait for the general to come." Wu Er patted that person's shoulder. That person staggered and fell onto the ground.
The others who were half dead from starvation gritted their teeth and retreated to their original spots …
Each and every one of them was dispirited. They were simply not a match for Wu Er. Instead of being made an example by Wu Er, he might as well wait and see if anyone else would come forward.
If there were none, he could wait until the general came. Since the general had arrived and wanted to give them food, they would obediently wait for their food. If he didn't give them food and let them starve to death, then …
Don't blame them for disobeying you! And with everyone's anticipation, the great general, accompanied by the young lord Niu, had finally arrived …
