Chapter 40: Grain Deposit in Distress

It was already dawn at the temporary camp of the Qin army.

"Let's go!" Zhao Cheng pushed Luo Rucai into the camp. It seemed that Luo Cao Cao still did not escape.

In fact, this is not a fault with him. The main reason is that he pretended to be in a coma for the days when he was pretending to be in a coma, only people feed him some millet soup every day.

So he was so hungry that he had been exhausted after running for a while. He fainted from blood sugar and fainted on the ground with dark eyes, and was picked up by Qin Jun.

Wang Li looked at Luo Rucai and asked Li Yan, who was dressed in a Confucian scholar next to him, "Mr. Li, is this person Luo Rucai?"

Li Yan clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, this person is Luo Rucai, who is full of evil."

Wang Li nodded. In fact, Qin's army worked hard last night, but it was dark, and secondly, no one knew Luo Rucai, so he took advantage of the loophole.

"Sure enough, there are people who know the details of the opposite side." Wang Li thought, and subconsciously looked at Li Yan next to him.

At that time, Wang Li had a lot of effort to instigate Li Yan. He deliberately asked Li Yan to meet him alone every day, and then did nothing but chat and Fengya.

Of course, Li Yan was confused, but Li Guo and the others felt that he had been bribed long ago, at least he had a two-minded heart and isolated Li Yan after a while.

Finally, when Li Yan was excluded and neglected, Wang Li took the opportunity to surrender and gave them the couple a chance to meet. In addition, Niu Jinxing's army has been defeated, Li Yan, the first cultural figure in the rebel army, had no choice but to surrender.

Although this counter-espionage strategy was perfected by Wang Li, it was difficult to try it for others. Needless to say, Li Guo and Li Laiheng and others, even Hao Yaoqi was not good. As for Luo Rucai and Liu Zongmin, Wang Li was simply disdainful.

For example, what Wang Li and Li Yan are doing now is the guest ritual. Li Yan is Wang Li's aide, and Wang Li is too lazy to watch Luo Rucai who was picked up.

Wang Li's eyes were so cold that he said: "Thank you for your hard work in Zhao Duwei, just drag it down and kill it. Notify the people who return to the army to come and watch the ceremony."

Luo Rucai was so hungry that he was still confused just now. Now that he heard that it would cost him his life, he instantly woke up and begged for mercy:

"General, please spare me. The young man was confused for a while. Please give me another chance. I promise to obey..."

Wang Li raised his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Our army doesn't need an inhuman general like you. Your biggest function is to calm everyone down if you die. Do you understand?"

"Ah!" Luo Rucai was almost paralyzed when he heard this, but Zhao Cheng pulled him up again and handed him over to the two knights next to him.

The two knights then walked out of the tent with Luo Rucai, who was already scared and silent, and prepared to give him an unforgettable memory.

Wang Li in the camp was obviously more concerned about the news revealed by Li Yan. It turned out that the rebel army was swept by the demonic wind, so the manpower was scarce and the food was insufficient.

Li Yan also told Wang Li a big news that Li Zicheng was sick and although he was not in danger of his life, he would be unable to take charge of the government and lead the troops for a while.

So the plan was handled by Li Guo and others, but they did not expect that they would attack Cao Cao and come to Daqin. In the end, not only did they not get any food, but they also brought people in.

Li Yan bowed and analyzed: "General, there are more than 8,000 rebels in total. Now they are either captured or fled. There are only a thousand people in the headquarters. I just don't know how many of these defeated soldiers can escape back?"

After hearing this, Wang Li smiled slightly and said, "I can't go back much anymore. They have no food on them. If they can surrender to our army in time, they may not be starved to death.

If I endured the road in the middle of winter, I would be very lucky. This time the crusade army suffered a lot of losses and probably wouldn't have the strength to stop."

Li Yan's face was not very good when he heard this. After all, he had just surrendered for a few days, so this character was not enough, and there was always a little awkwardness.

Another point is Li Yan's personality. The Li Yan family is also a scholarly family. He himself is still a scholar-in-law. As a result, he lost everything because he opened a warehouse for the victims and was forced to follow the thief.

Now that he heard that most of these rebels would starve to death, he felt very helpless, but he knew that even if he wanted Wang Li to release food, the rebels would not dare to come and get it.

At this time, the king left and asked, "Mr. Li, do you know if you are familiar with the roads in Lintao?"

Li Yan naturally understood what Wang Li was planning. He wanted to go straight to Huanglong. Now that he was in trouble with Wang's bed, almost all of his generals were captured, and only one-eighth of the army was left.

No matter how you look at the Qin army, the chances of winning are very high. As long as they can secretly march to the military camp, it is not difficult to take away one wave.

So Wang Li was still relying on Li Yan, the leader.

Li Yan frowned and asked a sharp question: "General, I can recognize the road, but is our army enough food and supplies?"

Wang Li shook his head in a realistic manner and said, "Most of the food in the past few days has been provided by the Ministry. If you want to continue attacking the bandits, it will be difficult..."

Wang Li's words seemed very helpless. You should know that a warrior consumes three or four times the food in a day that ordinary people consume.

However, as the leader, he still had to take care of everyone's feelings, and then spoke: "But Your Majesty's food and supplies are not far away, so we still have to stick to it."

Although everyone was worried, they had to wait. However, no one knew that the grain transport team was also in an arduous struggle at this time.

In Beidi County, Xia Donghai and his group were marching on the snow with fear. Even with advanced tools such as small carts, the marching of everyone was still difficult.

"Young Master Xia, the river valley I mentioned ahead is the one I mentioned. The road in the middle is really rugged. If you want to go there, you can only walk a little bit or take a detour..." said Foreman Qin Jun.

He obviously was not optimistic about this grain transport operation. As the heavy snow had just passed, the wind had not stopped, he thought everything was OK?

"Foreman, all the food and food items are included in it. If the detour is too far, it may delay the war." Xia Donghai said.

The foreman was embarrassed: "It's okay to pass, so we can only line up in two lines. This way can only walk two lines at most, but the speed will not be too fast. And once there is a problem with the car in the middle, it will be difficult to move behind it."

Xia Donghai thought for a while and said, "Two rows are OK, but the left and right should be staggered, so that there is only one car on each horizontal surface, and even if it is faulty, it can be temporarily passed by the side."

When the foreman heard this, he thought this was a good method, so he nodded in agreement: "Mr. Xia is worthy of being the young master of the Imperial Physician. He is so smart at a young age. I admire him, so just use this method."

Xia Donghai is an honest child. After hearing the foreman's praise, his face turned a little red. He didn't know what to say. He quickly performed a standard etiquette of juniors, which made the older men next to him laugh...

The team then adjusted and began to slowly enter the canyon. Even so, the snow around was shaken and everyone could only move carefully.

This made the marching slower. The foreman and Xia Donghai were both anxious and worried about whether Wang Li and the others had already stopped.

However, I am afraid of anything. This batch of newly built carts still lacks running-in. One car accidentally got a problem and turned to the middle of the road.

Several commanders rushed up to help. With so many people, there was no difference between the team unable to keep up.

Just as the group was repairing the vehicle urgently, workers suddenly shouted: "Someone is here, it's a cavalry!"

Everyone looked up, because they were all in the valley carrying light and snow, they could only see more than a dozen riders appearing on the hillside on the west side, as if they were coming towards them.

A servant guessed: "Did General Wang Li send someone to pick us up?"

Another person retorted: "We are still far from the north! We must be thieves!"

The servant said, "Is it not allowed General Wang to be the messenger?"

After hearing the two of them, Xia Donghai couldn't make a judgment for a moment, so he immediately turned his attention to the old foreman next to him, hoping that he could make a decision.
