There has been a saying since ancient times that "before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first." This shows the importance of food and grass to an army. Although only half of it was burned, it was already a considerable loss for the garrison.
In addition, this war was started by Yao Guo, and the garrison responded in a hurry. The preparations such as soldiers, horses, food and grass were not as sufficient as Yao Guo's. As a result, it became more and more constrained.
Liu Pinting's heart felt tense. It was undeniable that she was worried about Ji Chenxue.
Across the way, those people quickly retreated after reporting. Liu Pinting also put down the curtain and returned to bed, but she tossed and turned and had no sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Qing Ge couldn't help being surprised when he saw her appearance, and said in surprise: "Girl, did you not sleep well last night? Could it be that you heard some noise last night?"
Liu Pinting was not sure what he was talking about, and she didn't want others to know that she listened to Luo Qingchen's conversation with the soldiers last night, so she asked, "Did something happen last night?"
Qingge scratched his head and explained: "I heard that someone came to burn our food and grass in the middle of the night yesterday. Fortunately, the master was prepared. Those people failed to succeed. Two of them were even caught. I heard that one of them is still theirs."
Lieutenant General." At this point, he couldn't help but have a flash of admiration in his eyes, and said proudly: "Young master is really clever and clever. He can even predict that they will attack at night. I'm afraid we will definitely win this battle."
Liu Pinting couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Qing Ge was right about one thing. Luo Qingchen was really thoughtful. Others would never have imagined that she had burned the other party's food and grass just in the middle of the night.
The opponent sneaked back in the middle of the night to counterattack.
But he had expected it, arranged everything, and just came to catch a turtle in a jar.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Ji Chenxue will choose to burn Yaoguo's food and grass in turn. What is hard to guess is that the opponent chooses the time to counterattack. In the case of insufficient food and grass, Ji Chenxue has only two choices, either to report to the court truthfully.
, hoping that the imperial court would raise food and send it over as soon as possible, or take the initiative to enter the palace and end the war as soon as possible.
It's just that the country had just experienced a war before the end of the year. The national treasury had insufficient food surplus, and new food had not yet been collected. Raising such a large amount of military food and transporting it was obviously not something that could be accomplished in the short term.
Yaoguo's food and military strength is sufficient in all aspects, and it has made full preparations in advance. It is obvious that it is not an easy task to defeat the opponent and end the war as soon as possible.
In other words, these two methods are actually not very feasible, so burning the opponent's food and grass becomes the simplest and most effective method.
Only when both sides are short of food and grass can they be forced to terminate the war. Otherwise, the garrison will be defeated.
It has to be said that Ji Chenxue took all aspects into consideration, while Luo Qingchen directly set all of this within his own plan.
Ultimately, the latter is superior.
This was the first time Ji Chenxue led an army and encountered such an opponent. I really don't know whether it was his luck or his misfortune.
Although she was worried about the other party in her heart, at this moment, Liu Pinting could not do anything. Thinking of the few people who were around him when she met him on the hillside that day, she did not know who was among those arrested last night.
Whether there were them or not, he couldn't help but ask lightly: "Did the Sixth Prince say what he would do with those two people?"
