Qin army camp.

"What? The grain transport team was attacked and all the food and grass were burned by the Zhao army?"

After hearing the news, all the smiles on Wei Ran's face disappeared completely and even became ferocious.

The other Qin generals present also looked solemn.

They are all the soldiers who lead the army and they all know what food and grass mean.

If there is no food, you don’t need to fight this battle and you will lose.

After a while of silence, Wei Ran looked up and said, "What should I do now?"

There are only six days of food and grass in the Qin army's barracks. If nothing unexpected happens, the grain transport team should have arrived within these two days.

But now...

Someone suggested: "Marquis Rang, it is better to continue to attack Guyang north, perhaps there is some food and grass in Guyang City."

Wei Ran snorted and said, "It's impossible. Since Niu Jian has driven out all the soldiers and civilians in Shangjun, he must have made this idea from the beginning. If our army goes to Guyang, what we see is the ruins of an empty city."

Someone also said: "The Zhao army also needs food and grass. Since the Zhao army plundered the entire Shangjun, there must be a grain storage place not far from the battlefield. Our army only needs to find this grain storage place, and the problem will naturally be solved."

Wei Qi sighed and rejected the proposal again.

This suggestion is correct.

Even Wei Ran could have imagined that the people of Zhao must have stored all the robbed food and supplies somewhere north of Shangjun.

Only in this way can the people of Zhao come and go freely in Shangjun with their powerful power, and will not cut off the supply of food and grass.

However, to the north of Shangjun is the huge Hetao grassland.

In the vast grassland, find a grain storage place with no trace of no ropes?

If you can really find it, the cliff will be favored by God.

Moreover, north of Shangjun is the territory of the Linhu tribe. Who doesn’t know that King Linhu just offered his horse to Master Zhao’s father a few years ago? It is impossible to count on Linhu.

Someone said, "In fact, if the Zhao army can be found and the battle will be won, the problem will be solved."

This time, Wei Ran simply rolled his eyes.

Don’t this marquis know that destroying the Zhao army will be eliminated? But the problem is that the people of Zhao are unwilling to fight this marquis, and the two-legged soldiers of this marquis cannot catch up with the four-legged cavalry of Zhao!

Many suggestions were rejected one by one, so the entire Qin army commander fell silent again.

Wei Ran snorted heavily: "A bunch of waste!"

Wei Ran fell into deep thought.

In fact, there is no way.

The safest way to think of is to withdraw troops.

After all, the Qin army has an advantage in military strength. The people of Zhao are afraid to face the enemy head-on with the Qin army. In addition, there is enough food and grass, so it seems that it is not a problem to retreat safely.

But wouldn’t that give in to most of the Shangjun who had just been called back?

If you don't withdraw, you can only wait on the arrival of the next wave of grain transport teams.

But who can guarantee that the next batch of grain transport teams will arrive in time?

Wei Ran suddenly realized that he had become embarrassed.

...

Niu Jian looked at Le Yi with some curiosity: "What do you think Wei Ran will do?"

When asking this question, Niu Jian and Le Yi were only thirty miles away from the Qin army camp.

Le Yi laughed: "General, now, what Wei Ran will do is no longer important."

...

Two hours later, Wei Ran was still undecided in the Qin army's tent.

Suddenly, a Qin general broke into the camp: "Marquis Rang, Zhao's army is here!"

"What?" Wei Ran was shocked and suddenly stood up.

After a moment, Wei Ran climbed to the lookout in the military camp.

Sure enough, in the distance ten miles away, a huge army of cavalry was in sight.

Wei Ran was surrounded by Qin generals, and they were eager to try.

"Mr. Rang, it's time to go to the battle!"

"Marquis Rang, let the people of Zhao experience the power of the Great Qin Majesty!"

The generals of Qin were also holding their breath. They did nothing but rushing on the road every day. Who can withstand this? After finally having the opportunity, naturally everyone is competing for the first place.

However, Wei Ran's face not only did not get excited about it, but became heavier.

Looking at the Qin general around him, Wei Ran said slowly: "The people of Zhao did not set up camp."

After a pause, Wei Ran raised his tone again.

"The people of Zhao did not set up camp!"

Looking at the generals who were still confused, Wei Ran felt helpless.

A bunch of idiots!

Wei Ran explained: "The people of Zhao did not set up camp, which means that they did not intend to fight us here, but just planned to hold us back!"

The lookout fell into silence.

After a moment, a Qin general said carefully: "Marquis Rang, maybe the people of Zhao did not set up camp just because... the time has not come?"

Wei Ran said yelling, wanting to scold a few words, but for some reason, the words turned to the mouth: "Since that's the case, then let's go to the army to fight and see what Zhao's reaction is!"

Half an hour later, Wei Ran stood on the chariot, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The 50,000 Qin army had just launched a complete formation outside the camp, and the cavalry of Zhao retreated like a tide.

Soon, there was no more Zhao cavalry in Wei Ran's sight.

Wei Ran let out a heavy breath and said in a muffled voice: "Ming Jin, return to the camp!"

It is impossible to chase after chasing, how can two legs catch up with four legs?

So, the Qin army took another two quarters of an hour to disband and return to the camp.

As a result, Wei Ran, who had just returned to the camp, got information again.

"Marquis Rang, the people of Zhao are here again!"

Wei Ran returned to the observation deck, and sure enough, the dense Zhao army cavalry appeared again.

This time, the Zhao army's cavalry did not stop and moved slowly, with dust and smoke rolling, and the momentum was terrifying.

Wei Ran was furious: "No need to pay attention, be alert!"

Half an hour later, I urgently reported it again: "Marquis Rang, the people of Zhao are approaching!"

Wei Ran climbed to the observation deck for the third time. Sure enough, the Zhao cavalry army had approached only five miles from the Qin army camp. In the dust and smoke, countless Zhao cavalry figures appeared and appeared.

Wei Ran's heart tightened, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The whole army is ready to fight, but don't leave the camp!"

In the Qin army camp, everyone was nervous and alert, and there was a lot of murder.

The Zhao army was still moving forward slowly, with the sound of hooves not slow, but the smoke and dust were floating everywhere.

Four miles, three miles...

Just when Wei Ran began to doubt whether the Zhao people were really going to launch an attack, the Zhao cavalry once again retreated like a tide.

It was very slow when moving forward, but it was very fast when retreating. The sound of hooves splashed everywhere. When the smoke disappeared, the 20,000 Zhao troops disappeared completely.

Wei Ran, who had never left the observation deck, also breathed a sigh of relief.

As the afterglow of the setting sun shone, Wei Ran suddenly realized that it was already dark.

A trace of bad premonition arose from Wei Ran's heart.

"So, is this time for me to be dragged here by Zhao's army for a day?"

Wei Ran looked at the horizon where there was no more Zhao army cavalry, and his face was very wonderful.

Immediately, a sneer appeared on Wei Ran's face.

"It's dark, I want to see how you camp!"

Twenty miles away, Niu Jian, who had just dismounted, had a little admiration on his face.

"First appear as a large army, and the second time I tied branches on the horse's tail, and used a small number of troops to pretend to be a large army. However, the large army quietly camped in the rear to rest. Isn't this move the king thought of, right?"

Le Yi shook his head and smiled, "This is what he thought."

Niu Jian nodded and said, "I don't need to say that I know that now is called 'the enemy is stationed and I am disturbed', and next, it should be 'the enemy is retreating and I am chasing', right?"

Le Yi slapped his thigh and praised: "The General is indeed a long-time general on the battlefield. He is good at learning from one example and applying it to other things. Le Yi admires it, admires it."

Niu Jian spat, patted Le Yi on the shoulder, and laughed and scolded: "I have seen flattery in my life, and I am the most careless of your words."

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time.
