Chapter 937 Chapter 937, send food
"Yelukanda, is this trying to consume us?"
Xiao Yeyang stood on the city wall, holding a telescope to observe the situation of the army in Xiliao.
He thought that if the Xiliao army’s grain and grass were burned, Yelukangda would order the withdrawal of the army. He never thought that the Xiliao army was stationed outside the Xintunwei border.
Su Hongxin: "Xiliao people do not produce high food, where do they get their food?"
Xiao Yeyang thought of the news from the dark guards planted in Xiliao, and sneered: "Xiliao people don't have food in their hands, but Xiao Yechi has it."
The royal family of the West Liao Dynasty dared to launch a war against Daxia at this time. A large part of the reason was that Xiao Yeyang provided them with a large amount of food.
Su Hongxin frowned: "Where did the grain from Xiao Yechi come from?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression was somewhat condensed: "I heard that when Xiao Yechi took Princess Tartar to the north, he found a large area of fertile black land. In addition, Xiao Yechi used various means to obtain a batch of high-yield grains from Daxia. After planting it back, I have accumulated a lot of grain in the past few years."
Hearing this, Su Hongxin and the surrounding soldiers became serious.
Long-term combat, which is a bit disadvantageous for them.
No way, Xiliang is too barren. Even if Mrs. Xiao brought high-yield grains, because of the short time and the limited scope of promotion, now she can barely maintain the food and clothing of a few health centers.
simply cannot supply the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Su Hongxin looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Has the court not allocated any payment?"
Xiao Yeyang: "The East China Sea and the South China Sea are both fighting, and the court is somewhat stretched." Xiliao probably also realized that the court could not support Xiliang, so he chose to spend it with them.
Master Wang hesitated for a while, and still spoke: "My lord, the food collected by Ganzhouwei, Jinweiwei, Jianzhouwei, and Xintunwei last year is almost used up."
He knew that saying this at this time was a bit shaken in the military's spirit, but he was in charge of logistics, and Xiao Yeyang had to be aware of this.
More than half a month ago, he was deliberately controlling the daily food of the soldiers.
Xiao Yeyang frowned.
An army of more than 200,000 people consumes a huge amount of grain every day. Fortunately, Ganzhouwei had a good grain harvest last year. Otherwise, I am afraid that the army would have run out of food.
"With regard to food, I will figure out a solution. Let's go, let's go back and discuss the attack."
Xiao Yeyang took the lead down the city wall, Su Hongxin and other generals quickly followed.
When the group returned to the military account, they happened to meet the soldiers for lunch. Xiao Yeyang glanced at it and saw that each soldier now only received a bowl of porridge and a waffle, his brows frowned subconsciously.
See you, Master Wang, his expression a little bitter.
He didn't want to let the soldiers eat more, but he was spared and lacking energy. Now the soldiers still have three meals a day, and after a while, I'm afraid they can only eat two meals.
Xiao Yeyang returned to the military account and began to discuss with the generals about taking the initiative to attack, worked out a plan, and the next day led people to launch an attack on the army of Xiliao.
Unfortunately, Yelukanda seemed to know that the Daxia army was short of food and would not fight at all.
Xiao Yeyang was riding on horseback, staring at Yelu Kangda who was avoiding fighting with condensed eyes, waved and whispered with the guards beside him, “Go tell Bu Gandang so that he can look up the generals in the army.”
Yelukanda's confidence is too strong, it seems to know their situation well.
Although the generals of the army have cleaned up, he can't guarantee that everyone will be cleaned up. The Wei family has been operating in Xiliang for several generations and must have left behind.
In the next few days, every time the Daxia army launched an attack, the Xiliao army chose to retreat.
Just when Master Wang bit his scalp and came to Xiao Yeyang again to say that there was not enough food, hundreds of camels full of food and medicinal materials appeared in the sight of the soldiers outside the military town.
After receiving the news, Master Wang ran out of the city like a gust of wind.
Seeing Master Wang, Yan Shouhou smiled forward, handed him the grain account book, and said loudly: "My wife said that the soldiers have worked hard to defend their homes and the country. She specially asked the villains to bring some food over and said, the soldiers are full. That’s enough to drive the people of Xiliao away."
Master Wang excitedly took the account book and thanked him repeatedly.
The soldiers on the wall and the gatekeeper also thanked him loudly.
Yan Shouhou's face showed a simple smile: "Everyone is too polite, my wife said, everyone is a member of Daxia, you are here to throw your heads and blood, she just gave some food is really not worth mentioning."
said, pointing at the thousands of cattle and sheep behind the camel team, and looked at Master Wang.
"If the lamb is killed and eaten, the cow will keep it for milk."
Next, look at the soldiers on the city wall.
"My wife also said, let everyone eat freely, and the food is enough. After eating this batch, the Xiao Mansion will send it again. Just a request, your family is still at home waiting for everyone to go back, killing the Xiliao people At the same time, you must protect yourself."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many soldiers began to turn red.
When Xiao Yeyang came out with the generals, he was a little silent when he saw this scene.
Su Hongxin touched Xiao Yeyang, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Sister Yan to have this ability, let's see how moved the soldiers."
Xiao Yeyang squinted at him and asked the soldiers to send food into the city.
Su Hongxin said again: “Everyone is worrying about food these days, but you have no response. Do you know that Sister Yan will send food over?”
Xiao Yeyang didn't speak, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Since the start of the war in Xiliao was too sudden, he had not had time to explain to Yiyi to prepare the food, but his Yiyi had already prepared it for him.
Outside the warehouse, Master Wang was extremely relieved and satisfied when he saw the warehouse filled up again. After seeing the food, the generals were eager to prepare to fight with the people of Xiliao, and his face couldn't help but smile.
"Master Wang, Master Xiao just ordered to eat lamb today."
A soldier eagerly ran over to spread the word.
Master Wang smiled: "Okay, eat lamb today."
Looking at the cheerful soldiers, Master Wang couldn’t help but sigh again, Master Xiao really married a good wife.
The Daxia army is happy, but the Xiliao army is a little bored.
"Yan Yiyi again!"
Xiao Yechi gritted his teeth and cursed.
Thinking that when Daxia and Tatar were fighting, Daxia was also short of food. It was because the Yan family donated food and medicinal materials, which made Tatar, who could have been victorious, a terrible defeat.
Yelukangda also had a gloomy expression: "The news about the Daxia army has been cut off. It seems that Xiao Yeyang has arrested the person whom Wei Hongcai has placed."
Xiao Yechen couldn't help but cursed Wei Hongcai again: "What does this guy do for food? Are people with low hands not clever?"
The person placed in the city of Ganzhou was caught, and now the person placed in the army has also been discovered. This person is really more than successful.
Happy National Day everyone!
