"Hehe …" If cavalry of Youzhou has invited someone, it would be even better. " Li Ru blinked his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Even if the Youzhou has a good harvest and can support so many troops, how long will it take for him to transport all these food from the Youzhou to Hanoi? What did the Army of Montenegro eat in such a long time? I am sure that tomorrow, the Army of Montenegro will attack our camp without restraint. If they are unable to attack within three days, the Army of Montenegro will scatter. "

"Oh …" Military Advisor is that confident? " Although Guo Si had always admired Li Ru, he still couldn't believe Li Ru's certainty that he was going to lose. "Military Advisor, could it be that cavalry of Youzhou doesn't even have three days' worth of food?"

"It's not easy for the six counties under Yang Lin's jurisdiction to feed the current cavalry brigade since their food supplies are insufficient. And from what we know, Yang Lin sealed Youzhou, so they did not transfer any food from Youzhou, so I'm sure that with the sudden increase in Army of Montenegro, with the food they have, they won't be able to sustain for three days. "

Li Ru smiled confidently, and said with confidence. The war was about money and food, so Li Ru had been paying attention to the situation of the Youzhou's food shipments. If it was only the cavalry of Youzhou, maybe Li Ru would be a little nervous. But now that he had added the burden of the Army of Montenegro, he could relax.

"Immediately send my orders, all soldiers are to gather in the main camp and prepare to face the cavalry of Youzhou's attack." Li Ru looked at Guo Si, and said solemnly: "Immediately send a large group of Scouting horse s to all parts of the Jizhou to inquire about the situation of the transportation of food there. The moment we discover the Youzhou's food brigade, we will immediately report it. "

Although Li Ru was smart, he was still wrong. It was not that Yang Lin did not have any food for three days, but rather, he did not have a single meal. If Li Ru were to order Guo Si to bring his cavalry up right now, he did not know whether the Army of Montenegro, who had not eaten for a day, would scatter in all directions.

When they were still 15 kilometers away from Li Ru's camp, Yang Lin picked a place to stop and ordered the soldiers to set up camp. He had to wait here for Guo Tong and Huo Lang to send him some food.

No one dared to speak a word during an emergency march. However, when the camp was ready and no one saw the fire start, the Army of Montenegro soldiers began to get restless. First, there were groups of people making a ruckus, followed by groups of people with ulterior motives shouting, causing the camp to suddenly tense up, as if it was about to explode at any moment.

Yang Lin had never encountered such a situation before, he knew that if he was careless for even a moment, it would cause the legendary camp to explode. Before Li Ru's West Cold Army could attack, the Black Hills himself would probably rebel. He knew what the soldiers were looking for, but he couldn't bring out a single grain.

He immediately brought his personal guards to the middle of the Army of Montenegro, wanting to explain things to everyone. Coincidentally, he saw Zhang Yan, Bai Rao, Wei Gu, Chen Lin, Yellow Dragon, Left Academy, Yang Feng, Yu Du, Tao Sheng, Liu Shan, Luo Shi, Lei Gong and more than ten other commanders of Black Hills.

Seeing Yang Lin coming over, Zhang Yan made a bitter face and said helplessly: "Lord General, we have already sent people to pacify the soldiers, we will be fine for now. However, the soldiers were very hungry. They had to start a fire to cook … "As time passes, I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress it …"

Yang Lin also wanted to cook, but there was no food … … But Yang Lin only nodded slightly, he did not reveal the anxiousness in his heart at all as he said indifferently, "Five days ago, I already ordered the Jizhou to send over the food. If not for West Cold Army's interception, we should have arrived by now."

What Yang Lin said was true, it was just that Guo Tong and Huo Lang were far away at the border of the River and did not know that Yang Lin had already led Black Hills to Huaixian. Even if they were immediately informed about it, it would be hard to deliver it within a day, and looking at the current Army of Montenegro, without waiting for the food to arrive, they would probably go into chaos.

"Report …" Just then, a few cavalrymen suddenly ran in from outside the camp and shouted loudly, "Lord General, our food brigade is here. They were intercepted by the West Cold Cavalry fifty miles away, both sides are fighting fiercely."

The entire camp was quiet as if they were dead, the soldiers of Black Hills stood blankly on the spot, their eyes looking at Yang Lin in anticipation. So the hussar general did not lie to them, it was just that the detestable West Cold Army blocked the food. An unknown soldier suddenly raised his arm and shouted.

"Kill that damned West Cold Army!"

This shout did not matter, the Army of Montenegro suddenly understood that his enemy was the repulsive West Cold Army. The soldiers' hatred and anger had finally found a target to vent.

"Kill that damned West Cold Army!"

"Kill that damned West Cold Army!"

"Kill that damned West Cold Army!"

Yang Lin could see clearly that the person who reported this information was none other than his intelligence officer Chen Cang and his personal guards. Chen Cang was not a exorcism, he seemed to be by his side just a moment ago. How did he know that the Youzhou's food team was fighting with a West Cold Cavalry fifty li away?

"A strategy to slow down the troops!" Yang Lin immediately understood and turned his head, commanding Liu Zhi: "You must immediately lead two cavalry squadrons to meet our food supply squadrons. "Remember, if you can't save the food, don't come back."

"Yes sir!" Although Liu Zhi agreed from the bottom of her mouth, she was secretly complaining in her heart. The scene just now was something that he and Chen Cang planned to slow down the Black Hills's rebellion. There were no food brigades, who knew if the Lord General really wanted him to go get food, where would he go to get food?

Chen Cang and Liu Zhi led the two squadrons of cavalry soldiers out of the main camp. The sky was already dark, but they did not know where to go. Even if he went to look for and Huo Lang for food, it would be too late. The food from the various counties in Hanoi County had long since been plundered clean by the West Cold Army.

"Sigh …" Lord General is taking too many risks this time, taking in over four hundred thousand Army of Montenegro s in one go. Almost as much as our cavalry of Youzhou. Chen Cang looked in the direction of the pheasant's nest and could not help but complain.

"How about we stay out the night, and return tomorrow morning and tell them that our food has been burnt by the West Cold Army?" Liu Zhi thought of a rotten idea, laughed and said: "This way, Army of Montenegro soldiers will not blame Lord General, and then we will send troops to the Henian counties to gather some food, and get through this crisis first."

"Hanoi County was already in arrears this year, and now that she has been robbed by West Cold Army, where would she still have any food left?" Chen Cang shook his head, and said with a bitter smile: "If we could think of a way in Hanoi County, it would not be so easy for Lord General to chase us out to deceive these Army of Montenegro."

Suddenly, Liu Zhi remembered something, he turned her head around abruptly and stared at Chen Cang: West Cold Army robbed a large amount of food in Hanoi, they will definitely not transport it away in a few days, and they also need to eat, tell me, where do they keep the food?

"Mm …" "Makes sense!" Chen Cang seemed to have thought of something, and said to himself: "West Cold Army robbed so much food and valuables, they must definitely be transported to Luoyang. All these grains and valuables must be stored at some kind of crossing point, it's convenient for them to transport them across the river."

"What are you guessing about? Just go and capture the West Cold Army." Liu Zhi was immediately interested. If she could find these grains, wouldn't Army of Montenegro have passed the test? " Don't hesitate, we'll head out immediately and catch a few exorcism s first. "

As the Black Hills's camp was only fifteen kilometers away from the West Cold Army's camp, Li Ru dispatched a large number of exorcism s to patrol the surroundings of the camp at night.

Chen Cang let Liu Zhi and two squadrons of cavalry to follow behind them slowly. He himself brought a dozen of his personal guards to sneak into the camp of the West Cold Army, hiding in a small bush, and waited quietly for the West Cold Army to patrol the border of the exorcism.

Not waiting for them to wait for long, a few exorcism Cavalry slowly walked over. As they walked, they talked. Seeming to be worried about the small forest, he walked straight over, wanting to check if there were any hidden people in the small forest.

"Attack!" As the West Cold entered the small forest, Chen Cang gave the order and over 10 personal guards rushed out. Although those scout s were careful, their warhorses were already stopped by Chen Cang's personal guards before they could even accelerate.

The battle went smoothly, and immediately, two scout were killed, three were injured and captured alive, and another attempted to escape, only to be shot by Chen Cang with an arrow at the rear of the horse. He threw the scout off his horse and was caught.

After being interrogated separately, it did not take him long to find out that the food that the West Cold Army robbed was piled up in the Changjin Ferry Pass. Changjin Ferry Pass was located in the middle of Huaixian and Shuxian, convenient for the two large camps to gather food. As Dong Zhuo was going to move Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and Li Que's army to Hongnong County and occupy all the boats, he had not yet had the time to transport the rations there.

The leader of the's two ten thousand people s guarding the Changjin Ferry Pass was called Lin Zhuo and he was a very cautious person. Li Ru trusted him greatly, which was why he entrusted the task of defending the grain to him. The treetops had trenches around the ferry, and they were very heavily guarded.

"We should report it to the Lord General, mobilize the Army of Montenegro to attack the Changjin Ferry Pass overnight." After Liu Zhi heard Chen Cang explain the situation, she felt that they should attack. As long as they could get the fodder of the Changjin Ferry Pass, the West Cold Army that was guarding the Hanoi County would be defeated without fighting.

"If you want to mobilize the Army of Montenegro, you will definitely let the Army of Montenegro know that the Lord General does not have any food. The Lord General will not trust the Army of Montenegro, and that will affect his prestige." Chen Cang shook his head and said confidently: "It's just us two cavalry squadrons ambushing the Changjin Ferry Pass, how about it?"

"Fine." Liu Zhi hesitated and nodded. In fact, he also clearly understood that although Lin Zhuo had a lot of people, they were just foot soldiers. Furthermore, she was familiar with the terrain of the Changjin Ferry Pass, so as long as the cavalry soldiers rushed into the ferry, they would not be able to defend the place. Even if we take over the Changjin Ferry Pass, how can we transport the rations out? "

"Ever since we entered the Hanoi County, the Lord General ordered us to establish a fish-water relationship with the citizens of the region, and we were wholeheartedly supported by the citizens of the Hanoi County. And when Dong Zhuo's West Cold Army arrived in Hanoi, they would rob and burn them without restraint. At that time, as long as we call for help, the people around Changjin Ferry Pass will definitely help us. " Chen Cang waved his hand and said confidently.
