Xiao Yeyang stood on the city wall, holding a telescope to observe the situation of the Xiliao army opposite.
He originally thought that after burning the food and grass of the Xiliao army, Yelu Kangda would order the withdrawal of the troops. Unexpectedly, the Xiliao army actually stationed outside the border of Xintunwei.
Su Hongxin: "The food output of the people of Xiliao is not high. Where do they get their food?"
Xiao Yeyang thought of the news sent back by the secret guards stationed in Xiliao, and sneered: "The people of Xiliao don't have food in their hands, but Xiao Yechi does."
The Xiliao royal family dared to launch war against Daxia at this time, largely because Xiao Yeyang provided them with a large amount of food.
Su Hongxin frowned: "Where did Xiao Yechi get the food?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression was somewhat condensed: "I heard that Xiao Yechi discovered a large area of ??fertile black land when he fled to the north with the Tatar princess. In addition, Xiao Yechi used various means to obtain a batch of high-yielding grain from Daxia. After planting it back, I have accumulated a lot of food in the past few years."
Hearing this, the expressions of Su Hongxin and the surrounding soldiers became serious.
Fighting for a long time is somewhat disadvantageous for them.
There is no way, Xiliang is too barren. Even if Mrs. Xiao brought high-yielding grain seeds, due to the short time and limited promotion scope, she can only barely maintain food and clothing for a few health centers.
It is simply impossible to supply the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Su Hongxin looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Didn't the imperial court allocate food and salary?"
??
Master Wang hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Sir, the grain collected by Ganzhou Guard, Jinwei Guard, Jianzhou Guard, and Xintun Guard last year is almost exhausted."
He knew that saying such words at this time would shake the morale of the army, but he was in charge of logistics and Xiao Yeyang must know about this.
More than half a month ago, he was deliberately controlling the soldiers' daily meals.
Xiao Yeyang frowned.
The army of more than 200,000 consumes a huge amount of food every day. Fortunately, Ganzhou Guards had a good food harvest last year. Otherwise, the army would have run out of food.
"I'll figure out a way to deal with the food issue. Let's go back and discuss the attack."
Xiao Yeyang took the lead to get off the city wall, followed by Su Hongxin and other generals.
When a group of people returned to the military tent, they happened to meet the soldiers having lunch. Xiao Yeyang glanced at them and saw that each soldier could only receive a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and his brows subconsciously frowned.
When Master Wang saw it, his face looked a little bitter.
He doesn¡¯t want the soldiers to eat more, but he has more ambition than strength. Now the soldiers are still eating three meals a day, but after a while, they may only be able to eat two meals.
When Xiao Yeyang returned to the military tent, he began to discuss with the generals about taking the initiative to attack, and formulated a plan. The next day, he led his men to launch an attack on the Xiliao army.
"It's a pity that Yelu Kangda seemed to know that Daxia's army was short of food, so he didn't fight at all.
Xiao Yeyang was riding on horseback, looking at Yelu Kangda who was avoiding fighting with cold eyes, waving his hands and whispering to the guards around him: "Go tell Bu Gandang and let him check the generals in the army."
Yelu Kangda is very confident and seems to understand their situation very well.
Although he has cleaned up the generals of the army, he cannot completely guarantee that everyone has been cleaned up. The Wei family has been operating in Xiliang for several generations, so they must have backup.
In the next few days, every time the Daxia army launched an attack, the Xiliao army chose to retreat.
Just when Master Wang had the courage to come to Xiao Yeyang again and said that there was not enough food, hundreds of camels loaded with food and medicinal materials appeared outside the military town in the sight of the soldiers.
After Master Wang received the news, he ran out of the city like a gust of wind.
When Yan Shouhou saw Master Wang, he stepped forward with a smile, handed him the grain account book, and said loudly: "My wife said that the soldiers worked really hard to protect their homes and the country, so she specially asked the villain to send some food, saying that the soldiers were full. Only then can we have the strength to drive away the Xiliao people."
Master Wang excitedly took the account book and thanked him repeatedly.
The soldiers on the city wall and guarding the gate also expressed their thanks loudly.
Yan Shouhou showed an honest smile on his face: "You soldiers are too polite. My wife said that we are all members of Daxia. You are here to shed blood. She only provides some food and it is not worth mentioning."
"As he said that, he pointed to the thousands of cattle and sheep behind the camel team,"?To Master Wang.
¡°The mutton is killed and eaten, and the cow is kept for drinking milk.¡±
Then, he looked at the soldiers on the city wall.
"My wife also said that everyone should eat freely. There is enough food. After finishing this batch, the Xiao Mansion will send more. Just a little request. Your family is still at home waiting for everyone to go back. Kill the people of Xiliao At the same time, you must protect yourself.¡±
As soon as these words came out, many soldiers' eyes began to turn red.
When Xiao Yeyang came out with the generals, they were all a little silent when they saw this scene.
Su Hongxin touched Xiao Yeyang and whispered: "I didn't expect Sister Yan to have such ability. Look how moved the soldiers were."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at him sideways and called on the soldiers to deliver the food into the city.
Su Hongxin said again: "Everyone is worried about food these days, but you don't have any reaction. Do you know that Sister Yan will send food?"
Xiao Yeyang said nothing, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Because the war in Xiliao was too sudden, he had not had time to tell Yi Yi to prepare food, but his Yi Yi had already prepared it for him.
Outside the warehouse, Master Wang felt extremely relieved and satisfied when he saw that the warehouse was filled again. After seeing the food, the generals were gearing up to fight with the Xiliao people, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Master Wang, Mr. Xiao just ordered us to eat mutton today."
A soldier came excitedly to deliver a message.
Master Wang smiled: "Okay, let's eat mutton today."
Looking at the jubilant soldiers, Master Wang couldn't help but sigh again, Mr. Xiao really married a good wife.
?¡
The Daxia army was happy, but the Xiliao army was a little depressed.
"It's Yan Yiyi again!"
Xiao Yechi cursed through gritted teeth.
I think that when Daxia and the Tatars fought, Daxia was also short of food. It was because the Yan family donated food and medicinal materials that the Tatars, who could have won, were completely defeated.
Yelu Kangda also had a gloomy look on his face: "The news about Daxia's army has been cut off. It seems that Xiao Yeyang has arrested the person Wei Hongcai planted."
Xiao Yechen couldn't help scolding Wei Hongcai again: "What on earth does this guy do for food? Aren't people with low hands smart?"
The person who was placed in Ganzhou City was caught, and now the person who was placed in the army was also discovered. This person really failed to succeed and failed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
