There was a long silence, and sweat dripped down Li Xiu's forehead to his cheeks, and finally fell to the ground. The official who had just stood up to hand over the book felt like he was mourning for his heir.
At this time, Li Xiu finally understood why Yuwen Ao was so calm from beginning to end. It was because he had this memorial in hand, which could be said to be a sure win. Yuwen Ao's face did not change at all, but everyone felt that this
The old man's background is too grand.
After the old eunuch finished reciting, there was a buzz of discussion below. Yang Rui felt particularly irritable, stood up, said: "You guys discuss it," and took the people away.
At this time, the people below were all confused. Just such a sentence, there is no need to discuss anything. But these old guys have followed Yang Ruichao for not more than a lifetime, so they naturally know that what Yang Rui wants the ministers to discuss is this Beijing time.
There are a series of things that need to be done to collect the heads. Someone must personally check and accept the heads; rewards for the living soldiers must be distributed; pensions for the dead soldiers must also be distributed. In short, it is the promotion that deserves the promotion and the fortune that deserves the fortune.
As for Yu Wenfeng's troops, naturally everyone ignored them intentionally or unintentionally. In their view, even Yu Wenji said that Yu Wenfeng's troops were most likely to have been wiped out, so naturally there was no
questionable.
Yu Wenfeng, who was thousands of miles away, naturally didn't know that he and the Hungry Wolf Army under his command had been included in the ranks of the dead. After the last battle, he successfully frightened the Huqi who had not yet gathered in the west and made them surrender.
, without the reinforcements coming, they did not dare to pursue them rashly. They also grabbed enough war horses, and even the civilians started to have a group of horses of their own.
But the consequences were extremely serious. The rest of the Hu riders were like crazy, desperately chasing towards the west. Some Hu riders had already passed through other roads and had gone around to the front of Yu Wenfeng's troops, ready to teach them a lesson.
This Qin army does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.
Along the way, a small group of Hu cavalry also circled in front of Yu Wenfeng's troops, but there was no doubt that these incompetent Hu cavalry were all dispersed by the hungry wolf army. The battle along the way was a replica of the last time. They wanted to use secret weapons to clear the way.
Then the cavalry attacked and fled towards the west with lightning speed.
But the speed of the hungry wolf army is limited after all. These barbarians, who have lived on horses since childhood, are so ruthless that they can drive continuously without getting off their horses. In comparison, Yu Wenfeng's hungry wolf army is naturally slower.
News of the defeat along the way continued to reach the Mongol Khan. The Mongol Khan was really angry, so he issued a death order to destroy this arrogant Qin army.
It had been more than a month since the last battle, and Yu Wenfeng had led the Hungry Wolf Army to flee westward. The soldiers were extremely tired. On this day, as soon as the order to set up camp was given, many soldiers fell from their horses.
The soldiers around him quickly helped him up, and then fed him water in small sips. The word "tired" was written all over Yu Wenfeng's face. He hadn't taken a shower for more than a month, and the rancid smell on his body and hair could be smelled from far away.
They were also tied up in a mess, and if it weren't for the unusually bright eyes, you wouldn't be able to tell that they were any different from ordinary soldiers.
Yu Wenfeng had just dismounted and was moving around. After all, he was a little stiff after being on the horse for a day. Niu Er came over with an ugly face and whispered to Yu Wenfeng: "Sir, there is not much food in the army."
After listening, Yu Wenfeng did not show any surprise. This result was already within Yu Wenfeng's expectation. This time Yu Wenfeng led his army to the north to escort a batch of grain and grass. If it weren't for this batch of grain and grass, Yu Wenfeng and the Hungry Wolf Army would have
It is impossible to persist for such a long time. However, the amount of food is limited after all. The more you eat, the less you eat, and there is no way to replenish it, which really makes things worse.
Niu Er pondered and asked, "Should we gradually reduce the rations for our brothers?"
Yu Wenfeng was obviously very tempted by this proposal, but after pondering for a while he still rejected it. Niu Er nodded and went about his business without saying anything more.
After a while, Jia Zhi also came over with an ugly look on his face. When he came to Yu Wenfeng, he said, "Sir, we can't go on like this. Many soldiers can't stand it after more than a month of continuous traveling."
Although he knew the current situation, Jia Zhi still said bravely: "Sir, the soldiers need time to rest."
Yu Wenfeng sighed. He knew all this. The army had already experienced non-war attrition. It took a long time before Yu Wenfeng said: "I ordered the soldiers to rest for a day."
Jia Zhi nodded, and then went down to make arrangements. Yu Wenfeng also braced himself and said, "Let's go and have a look."
With that said, he walked away. The guards behind him hurriedly followed. These days, the morale of the Hungry Wolf Army has not collapsed, and they have won continuous victories along the way. The rest is all thanks to Yu Wenfeng's hard work.
Support. No matter how tired he was, Yu Wenfeng would walk around the camp and comfort these young soldiers. He ate the same food as these soldiers and chatted cordially, which allowed this tired lion to endure until now.
With a smile on his face, Yu Wenfeng greeted the soldiers cordially. When seeing Yu Wenfeng, no matter how tired the soldiers were, they would always struggle to get up and show their most energetic side in front of Yu Wenfeng.
After a period of running-in, these civilians gradually integrated into the Hungry Wolf Army. The Hungry Wolf Army has been in existence for so long. Under Yu Wenfeng’s strict military laws, these simple soldiers have not been tainted with the spirit of ruffians. Therefore,
, and also opened his mind to accept these civilians.
These civilians have long forgotten all about what happened before. Here, they get the most precious thing. That is respect. From Yu Wenfeng to ordinary soldiers, they have given these civilians enough respect. These civilians are all
Men, when a man gets enough respect, he will naturally be grateful to the person who gives them respect.
In their spare time, although they were very tired, some soldiers of the Hungry Wolf Army still took the initiative to teach some basic knowledge to these civilians who had never been on the battlefield. These civilians had witnessed the entire war with their own eyes last time.
Understanding their current situation, they might have to go to the battlefield in person at some point, so they did not care about the exhaustion of traveling all day, and studied hard. Like a sponge, they desperately absorbed all the knowledge about war.
Yu Wenfeng was happy to see this. He didn't have much capital now. It would be best to have more combat power. Yu Wenfeng sat casually in the middle of a small team, eating the same dinner as them, and then smiled
He said something. The surrounding soldiers gathered around him, and the soldiers in the distance looked at him with envy on their faces.
For these soldiers who rushed forward, it was an extremely great thing to be able to say a word to Yu Wenfeng. After Yu Wenfeng finished eating, he casually wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve. At this time, Niu Er came over and saw this
, Yu Wenfeng also stood up. Seeing Yu Wenfeng stand up, everyone in the team wanted to get up. Yu Wenfeng smiled and said: "Sit down and continue eating."
After saying that, he walked towards Niu Er. The soldiers around him knew that the two Shangguan had something to talk about, so they all dispersed. When they came to Niu Er, Niu Er said anxiously: "Sir"
Yu Wenfeng waved his hand and said, "This is not the place to talk."
After saying that, he walked towards his tent. Niu Er also woke up and quickly followed Yu Wenfeng. After entering the tent, before Yu Wenfeng took the initiative to speak, Niu Er anxiously said: "Sir, the scout just brought
The message came back, saying that a large number of Mongol cavalry were found ahead."
It’s true that whatever you fear will come, Yu Wenfeng thought in his heart. Yu Wenfeng asked: “How many people are there?”
Niu Er replied: "According to the camp account, it should be more than 10,000."
Hearing this number, Yu Wenfeng also frowned. This number was a bit beyond his expectation. Niu Er continued: "But the scout said there are many Qin people inside."
After hearing the news, Yu Wenfeng thought for a while and then said: "It seems that we are our old rivals ahead."
Facing Niu Er's puzzled gaze, Yu Wenfeng said, "Do you still remember the mixed army of Mongol and Qin people we forced back at the pass north of Guzhou?"
Niu Er nodded and said, "What you mean is that the army is in front of us."
Yu Wenfeng nodded and said: "Afterwards, I asked about it. Among the Mongol people, only their eldest prince has so many death-defying troops composed of Qin people. So, the one in front of us is the Mongwu people.
The great prince of men.”
Yu Wenfeng said: "How far is it from us?"
"About two days' journey." Niu Er answered.
Yu Wenfeng stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and then said, "Okay, we'll wait for them here."
"Here comes someone." Yu Wenfeng said.
After hearing Yu Wenfeng's words, a personal guard came to the camp. Yu Wenfeng said: "Call the cavalry officers and Captain Tian over."
"Yes, sir." The guard nodded in response, and then hurriedly left the camp. After a while, He Song, Li Wen, Hou Ji and others came to the camp one after another.
When the guards disappeared into the camp, Yu Wenfeng seemed to have remembered something and asked, "How is Jiang Wu?"
Mentioning Jiang Wu, Niu Er finally showed a smile on his face and said: "The recovery is good. In a few days, you can be active again."
This news was the only good news Yu Wenfeng heard today. With a smile on his face, Yu Wenfeng said: "This Jiang Wu is really good."
Niu Er nodded, after all, Jiang Wu was his subordinate, and for Jiang Wu, after discovering his talent, Niu Er could be said to have trained him without leaving any room, and he was considered to be half of Jiang Wu's master.
Niu Er said: "Indeed, before the war, his team destroyed a Hu scout team and captured one person alive. During the pursuit, the battalion he was in was also the most hated. One battalion
Only ten people came back, and three more died after they came back, so now there are only seven people in the camp."
Yu Wenfeng nodded. He knew about Jiang Wu's deeds. Yu Wenfeng said: "Jiang Wu is indeed good. He has made great contributions twice. This person is worth training. In this way, if the battalion he is in has been disabled, he will
Let him serve as the battalion commander. You can make arrangements to transfer a few veterans from other battalions, and the rest will be supplemented by civilians."
Niu Er nodded and said, "I understand, sir."
After everyone arrived, Yu Wenfeng said to Niu Er: "Tell me the situation."
Niu Er stood up and said: "According to the news from the scouts, there is an army in front of us composed of Mongol and Qin people. The number is about 10,000, and it is about two days' journey from us. I believe it
, they must have discovered us too.”
Niu Er just wanted to sit down, but under Yu Wenfeng's eyes, Niu Er had to bite the bullet and continue: "There is also not enough food in the army. At the current rate, it can last for up to ten days."
When they heard the first news, the faces of the people below did not change much. But when they heard the news after Niu Er, some people below could no longer sit still.
"What is this Yuan Tong doing?" Li Wen said dissatisfied.
But under Yu Wenfeng's stern eyes, he quickly shut his mouth. Yuan Tong seemed to be extremely low-key in the entire Hungry Wolf Army. He usually just did his job honestly, although Yuan Tong did not
He does not directly participate in daily training plans and wartime battle plans, but do not underestimate this person's influence in the Hungry Wolf Army. The most powerful proof was during the last self-inflicted mutiny.
Yu Wenfeng said: "This time we are responsible for escorting the grain and grass northward. It is not easy for this batch of grain and grass to last us until now."
The meaning of Yu Wenfeng's words is already obvious. Yuan Tong cannot be blamed for this matter. In fact, it was accidental that Niu Er knew about this matter. When he went to visit Jiang Wu in the wounded barracks today, Yuan Tong looked at him with a worried look.
He called him to the side and told him about the food and grass matter. Yuan Tong knew that this was a big deal, but when he saw the tired Yu Wenfeng, he couldn't speak, so he told Niu Er about the matter, hoping to use Niu Er's words
, let Yu Wenfeng know about this.
In fact, Niu Er and Yuan Tong didn't know that Yu Wenfeng had been secretly paying attention to the situation of grain and grass. Therefore, when Niu Er told Yu Wenfeng the news today, Yu Wenfeng was not too surprised.
Yu Wenfeng continued: "Don't worry too much about food and grass. During this period, any supplement we received was because the Mongols and Tatars were at war some time ago, and the herdsmen all moved away. After a period of support,
In time, we can get replenished.”
"What do you mean, sir?" Jia Zhi asked thoughtfully. Although he already had the answer in his mind, Jia Zhi couldn't help but ask.
Yu Wenfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he said: "Of course, we will replenish it on the spot, to support war with war."
"Fighting to support war" is a saying that everyone present can understand. To put it nicely, it is to use war to support war, but to say it worse, it means to plunder on the spot. Of course, what Yu Wenfeng means is that all future supplies for the army will be left along the way.
It's on the herdsmen. Another road to escape, stained red with blood, everyone thought in their hearts.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic," Yu Wenfeng continued. After hearing Yu Wenfeng's words, the people below calmed down and listened carefully.
"After so many days of traveling, most of the troops are exhausted, so I decided to rest here and wait for the enemy to come." Yu Wenfeng said decisively.
Niu Er, He Song, Li Wen and others naturally knew how exhausted the soldiers in front were, so they all agreed. After many small and large battles along the way, they now have full confidence. They believe that as long as they let
After the soldiers had rested, the only obstacle in front of them was a plate of food, and they could eat whatever they wanted.
At this time, Tian Qi asked aloud: "What should we do if the enemy in front is not moving? We must know that there are enemies behind us who are desperately chasing us. The more we stay now, the more dangerous we will be."
Yu Wenfeng said: "Don't worry about the enemies behind. The troops continue to rest and regroup. If the troops in front don't move, we will kill them after we rest." When he said this, Yu Wenfeng had already suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
, said with great pride.
Hearing Yu Wenfeng's heroic words, the faces of everyone below also stopped smiling and showed determination. Yu Wenfeng continued: "Go down and pay attention to the mood of the soldiers."
Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Yu Wenfeng said to Tian Qi: "You have to pay attention to the civilians. Now these civilians are our reserve military reinforcements. Don't make any trouble."
Tian Qi nodded and responded: "I understand, sir."
Yu Wenfeng continued: "When you take a break these two days, you must be extra careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you."
Before everyone could react, Yu Wenfeng said to Niu Er: "Spread out the scouts and pay close attention to the movements of the enemies ahead."
Niu Er nodded and said, "I understand, sir."
Yu Wenfeng said to the others: "Don't be careless. You must be careful."
The rest of the people also responded quickly: "Yes, sir."
Yu Wenfeng waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, get out."
After hearing Yu Wenfeng's words, everyone below filed out. Niu Er left the tent and did not return directly to the tent, but slowly walked towards the wounded soldiers camp.
The soldiers on duty at the wounded barracks saluted quickly when they saw Niu Er coming. Niu Er nodded, and then led the people in. Due to Jiang Wu's outstanding deeds before, and Niu Er's communication with Yuan Tong,
Jiang Wu has a separate place, although it is not big.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Jiang Wu retreated to a dark place in a state of alertness. Although this was in the station of the Hungry Wolf Army.
But when he crawled out from the pile of dead people, Jiang Wu still hasn't fully woken up. He killed too many people that day, and too many people died around him.dd
