Xiao Qiang was expressionless, and motioned to his subordinates to open the warehouse, and in the huge warehouse, there was nothing else except for a small pile of stacked grain bags in a corner. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info accompanied Dai Shulun, and Xiao Qiang opened more than a dozen logistics warehouses in a row, and the reserves can only be described as miserable.

"Lord Dai, in the past six months, the military rations and other things that the imperial court should have allocated to me have been pushed back and forth, and it would be good to have three or four stops in ten stops, do you think that now that I am like this, can I send troops on a large scale? I can't let the soldiers go to war hungry, can I? You can owe money, you can make a wish, you can draw a big pie for the soldiers to look forward to, but people always have to eat, right? ”

Xiao Qiang's tone was full of complaints. Dai Shulun was silent, since Xiao Qiang revealed the intention of self-reliance, Deng Hong was full of vigilance against this general with a backbone in the back of his head, and began to restrain this general from all aspects, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, he tied his hands and feet.

"I've already sent troops." Xiao Qiang looked extremely excited in front of Dai Shulun, "Although the prince suspects that Xiao has other ideas, but Xiao is my heart is full of bright moon, even if it is difficult, I still want to help the prince, even if I don't receive the order from the prince, Xiao also let his son bring an army to attack Yongping County, but now, their situation is worrying." Dai-sama, please! ”

Xiao Qiang's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but Dai Shulun smiled bitterly in his heart, did you send troops to help the prince? Well, in one way, that's true, but the biggest reason is because you want to pick the fruit.

But Dai Shulun naturally won't say this, now is not the time to tear his face. The two walked back to Xiao Qiang's study, and Xiao Qiang spread out all Xiao Xin's urgent letters in front of Dai Shulun.

"My vanguard army is trapped in Youfeng County." Xiao Qiang was extremely distressed. "God is also doing tricks, the continuous heavy rain has almost ruined my plan to enter Yongping."

Xiao Qiang's distress is not pretended, he clearly knows that Yongping is extremely empty now, and thousands of county soldiers are better than nothing, but he can't catch up.

Looking at the letters written by Xiao Xin one after another, Dai Shulun's mood was also very heavy, many of these letters were stained with yellow mud, and between the lines, you could see Xiao Xin's inner anxiety and uneasiness at the moment, the army sent by Xiao Qiang was indeed on the edge of danger.

"The army was on the verge of collapse, so I scraped the bottom of the warehouse and sent them the last bit of food, and if the rear didn't give me any more support, I had to withdraw my troops." Xiao Qiang said: "I can't empty the Tiger Prison, there are still tens of thousands of people here!" ”

Dai Shulun put down the letter, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this, General Xiao, I will go to the nearest county immediately, no matter what, I will also allocate some food for you, please General Xiao instruct the major general, no matter what, it is always the darkest before dawn, as long as you survive this pass, everything will be fine, as long as you get out of this mountainous area, food, logistics and supplies can be solved." ”

"After that, there is Feng, and Xuan'en!" Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly.

"Xuan'en's situation is much better than Youfeng's, at least after arriving at Xuan'en, the army can get food on the spot. At least our intelligence found out that in Xuan'en, where the merchants of the Ming Kingdom had built a few bazaars, there were a lot of food and other materials, these things were originally going to be sold to the Tiger Prison, right? Uncle Dai said.

Xiao Qiang lowered his brows, he didn't admit this matter, and he wouldn't deny it. "Lord Dai, not only food, but also medicine, within half a month, I want to see these things, and then, I will uphold the will of the prince and send all the food at the bottom of my box to the front line, but my tiger prison will be completely empty. Without food, you know what that means! ”

"I understand, if it's too late, I'll go and get food." Dai Shulun stood up: "Please also ask General Xiao to order the little general to turn to Zhongping County immediately after arriving in Yongping County, and join forces with General Deng to attack the Ming army." ”

"Of course, there is no problem, as long as there is food, I will also lead the main force on the road immediately." Xiao Qiang agreed very happily.

Dai Shulun came in a hurry and left in a hurry, but Xiao Qiang sneered in his heart, with food, he naturally wanted to lead the main force on the road, and defeated Yongping County, he would not go to Zhongping, but to Shunping.

This time, it will be enough for him to take Yongping and Shunping. With the support of the emperor, after the war, he was not afraid that Deng Hong would dare to settle accounts after the autumn, in fact, as long as he could still firmly control the 50,000 horses in the Tiger Prison, what would Deng Hong dare to do to himself?

Standing up, walking to the window, looking at the drizzle still floating outside the window, smelling the humid air, Xiao Qiang sighed, still no sign of the weather improving.

A lieutenant walked in lightly and whispered a word behind Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qianghuo turned his head with an incredible look on his face, "Who do you say wants to see me?" ”

"General, he said that his name is Cheng Weigao, and he is the county guard of Yongping County in the Ming Dynasty, and he feels very strange about his humble position, so he locked him up first, for fear that Lord Dai will know about it, and he thinks that we have collusion with the Ming people." The lieutenant said.

"How did he come here at this time? What is the purpose of his coming? Xiao Qiang's face was full of disbelief.

"What purpose can it be? In the eyes of the humble position, it is nothing more than persuading the general to quit the army, and he wants to withdraw from our army with a three-inch tongue. The lieutenant laughed.

"Having said that, what I wonder is, where is his confidence!" Xiao Qiang naturally didn't think it was so simple.

"Does the general see or not?" The lieutenant asked.

"See, of course, since you're here, why don't you see it?" Xiao Qiang laughed, "Please, invite him here." ”

Cheng Weigao was dressed in a short outfit, and his whole body was splashed with mud, and when he saw Xiao Qiang standing against the door, he laughed and arched his hand: "General Xiao, don't come to harm?" ”

Xiao Qiang smiled back: "Cheng Junshou, you are so bold, you dare to come to me at this time, and you are not afraid that I will take it, and Yongping County will be ownerless?" Isn't it cheaper for me? ”

Cheng Weigao shook his head slowly: "This is General Xiao who doesn't understand the current system of our Ming Dynasty, without Cheng Weigao, as well as Li Weigao, Zhang Weigao, Yongping County will definitely not be unable to operate because of Cheng alone." Moreover, General Xiao will not be so ungraceful, the two countries are at war, and they will not be killed! ”

"Really?" Xiao Qiang naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't want to argue with the other party more. "Master Cheng, you are a guest, please, look at your appearance, you have suffered a lot, I have warmed the tea, drink a cup of hot tea first, let's talk about other things!"

"It's true that I have suffered a lot, but it is nothing compared to the suffering that the young general suffered in Youfeng County!" Cheng Weigao snorted, stepped inside, sat down with a big grin, poured a cup of hot tea by himself, drank it all, and stretched his waist comfortably.

Xiao Qiang sat opposite Cheng Weigao, a little unaccustomed to Cheng Weigao's style, and his face was cold.

"Master Cheng, get straight to the point, open the window and say something, are you here to persuade me to quit the army? Do you think that in the current situation, if you have a lotus flower, it is possible for me to withdraw from the army? ”

Cheng Weigao spread his hands, "General Xiao, with your current situation in Youfeng County, do you really have the confidence to hit my Yongping County?" But I know that the situation of the major general is not optimistic! ”

"What my Great Qin soldier is best at is to bear hardships and stand hard work, what is this little hardship?" Xiao Qiang sneered.

"That's right." Cheng Weigao did not deny the other party, "It's just a hungry army, injured and sick, it's really hard to imagine how effective their combat effectiveness is?" I also prepared a small gift for the major general in Xuan'en County, and I will ask the major general to smile at that time! ”

"Just your little soldier?" Xiao Qiang sneered.

"If it was usual, it would naturally be a meat bun beating a dog, but now this is the case, I really can't say." Cheng Weigao smiled and said, "General Xiao, what do you think of this rain?" ”

Speaking of rain, Xiao Qiang's face was full of anger.

Cheng Wei was half a body taller, looked at Xiao Qiang, and said mysteriously: "General Xiao, don't you think that our Ming Emperor is the pride of heaven and is blessed by God?" At this time of the year, there was no such continuous rainy season, but this year if you want to move troops, this rain will come at the right time, leaving you in a dilemma? ”

"Ridiculous!" Xiao Qiang was noncommittal.

"Whether you believe it or not, General Xiao believes it, anyway, I, Cheng Weigao, believe it, and my people from top to bottom in Yongping believe it, and now Yongping County is united, don't hide it from General Xiao, in addition to the county soldiers, we have gathered tens of thousands of righteous people, and now they have all arrived in Xuan'en County!"

"You're looking for death!" Xiao Qiang sneered.

"Let's not talk about whether it's looking for death!" Cheng Weigao also lowered his face, "At least, we can destroy the major general's army that no longer has much combat effectiveness." What does General Xiao think? I'm worried about General Xiao now, when the time comes, I won't be able to steal chickens and rice, and after losing troops and generals, I don't know the position of the general in this tiger prison, will it be you in the future? ”

Xiao Qiang looked at Cheng Weigao intently for a long time, "Cheng Junshou, if you come just to intimidate me, it will be too child's play, if you don't have anything else, please go back." ”

Cheng Weigao nodded: "Okay, I came today to tell General Xiao that Deng Pu's 20,000 heavy cavalry has bypassed Longyou City and is looking for a decisive battle with the army led by my Ming Emperor. See how this big battle will end before you can make a decision? ”

Xiao Qiang's eyes narrowed suddenly: "If I win the Ming Dynasty, General Xiao will withdraw his troops without my reminder." If Deng Su's 20,000 heavy cavalry wins, I, Cheng Weigao, will immediately lead Yongping County to surrender to you, General Xiao, what do you think of this proposal? ”
