Ye Xiangyang left his team and went to meet Long Shuai.
The two or three hundred miles that they passed through saw military camps connected, battle formations laid out, and solemn and serious military discipline, which made Ye Xiangyang's evaluation of Marshal Long even higher.
He originally thought that the 200,000 troops he brought were elite troops, but there was still a huge gap compared to Marshal Long's soldiers and generals.
Ye Xiangyang did not stay in these barracks. He left directly after passing the inspection point.
Even the personal soldiers who led the way felt Ye Xiangyang's selflessness and kindness. They did not try to take credit or show off, but quietly carried out their tasks.
The camp of the Dragon Marshal was located in a magnificent temple. Due to the war, the temple had long been deserted. The clay statues of gods in the temple were moved away, and the tiger talisman of the Dragon Marshal was placed on the temple. This was the place where the marshal commanded the main battlefield of the turmoil in the empire in the first year of Jiajing.
Long Shuai already knew that Ye Xiangyang was coming, but he was still stunned when he saw Ye Xiangyang. Such a young man did not try to take credit, did not get involved, and did not hinder others. Such an upright mind truly showed the demeanor of a hero.
Long Shuai laughed loudly, and pulled Ye Xiangyang and said, "Grand Marshal, when I sent General Li to assist you, I said that you should be the leader. It's not nice of you to give up like this."
Ye Xiangyang smiled faintly: "General Long, the emperor told me to bring the soldiers to you, but he didn't tell me to fight on the front line. If I can bring the soldiers here, I will have completed the mission. I am naturally lazy and don't want to do more work."
"General Long, the Emperor said that if you have any other requests, please feel free to ask. The Emperor will mobilize the whole nation to fight this battle for the sake of the people of the world. This battle will benefit the present and future generations."
Long Shuai smiled and said, "If there is any difficulty, it is money and food. A million soldiers consume a lot of food and grass every day. As long as there is no shortage of food and grass, please ask the Grand Marshal to report to the emperor. I am sure I can win the battle."
Ye Xiangyang asked General Long for a map of the enemy's food and fodder distribution. There was an enemy granary a hundred miles north and south of General Long. If the enemy's granary was cut off, would the enemy be in chaos
At night, Ye Xiangyang didn't ask anything and went to sleep in his tent.
No matter how the battle went on at the front line, he had no interest in going there to take a look.
Yun Jianhan wanted to go to the front line to fight, but was stopped by Ye Xiangyang. Ye Xiangyang smiled and said, "Brother, tonight, let's do something big."
The north wind howled like a ghost, and the shrill sound shook people's eardrums.
In the middle of the night, Ye Xiangyang got up and asked Yun Jianhan to make his quilt ready. He told them not to let anyone into our residence, and even if Marshal Long came, he should tell him that he was resting.
Yun Jianhan grabbed Ye Xiangyang and said, "Brother, you want to go to the enemy camp alone? That's a dangerous place. I'll accompany you, brother."
Ye Xiangyang smiled slightly: "Brother, it is a great achievement for you not to leak my information here. Don't worry, I will definitely be back tomorrow."
The north wind was raging, and snowflakes the size of millet-sized grains were falling with a rustling sound.
Ye Xiangyang sat on the golden fire lion in a deserted place and flew away.
Today's golden fire lion has reached the level of Xuanzu, and is considered a high-level Xuan-level monster. The energy in its body no longer flows out like that of Xuanzong. Only at this level can one become a Xuanzu by consolidating the foundation and being intentional in sending and receiving.
First go to the granary a hundred miles north.
A hundred feet high, Ye Xiangyang used his spiritual power to probe downwards and found that he was exactly where the granary was. The allied soldiers surrounded the granary in three layers, making it impossible for anyone to get out.
Food and fodder must be sent before troops move out, and food and fodder are always the lifeline of war.
Ye Xiangyang watched Tiger Marshal's military tactics, which were mighty, domineering, generous and unrestrained. Tiger Marshal showed his courage and spirit of swallowing up mountains and rivers and looking down on the world. He was truly worthy of being the second marshal of the Jiuzhou Empire.
His mind moved, and he and the golden fire lion all entered the nine-cornered black tortoise cauldron.
The Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron was somewhere between existence and non-existence, floating slowly downwards.
After falling to the ground, Ye Xiangyang looked through the Xuanwu Cauldron and saw four soldiers gathered around a fire, warming themselves by the fire.
"Brother, when will this war end? Seeing so many good men die on the battlefield, I really don't know what they are trying to achieve."
"Haha, brother, you can complain about this in front of the three of us, but you must never say this in front of others, or you might lose your head. This is called disrupting the morale of the army."
"Marshal Hu is a good marshal. We will not frown even if we die following him. But I heard that the current emperor is also a wise ruler."
"We are not in a position to know about the high-level game. We should not discuss it. The right thing to do is to protect our grain depot."
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted, "Brothers, quickly carry these cotton-padded clothes in and distribute them tomorrow morning."
Ye Xiangyang saw thousands of soldiers carrying bundles of cotton clothes towards the warehouse, just like ants moving house.
From the conversation between several soldiers just now, Ye Xiangyang heard the following information: war weariness. Some people on Hu Shuai's side are already beginning to be tired of war; the emperor himself is still wise; Hu Shuai has an astonishing personal charm.
Looking at the people coming and going with the cotton-padded clothes, Ye Xiangyang thought again that the King of Zhengxi was very concerned about military equipment. The cotton-padded clothes were delivered as soon as the weather changed.
Hehehe, it just so happens that everything in this granary is mine.
An hour later, the granary stopped moving food, and all soldiers withdrew from the granary, leaving only a few guards.
Ye Xiangyang activated the Martial God Heavenly Art, and his aura became like the earth. He lay there, and anyone who sensed him was just a piece of soil. The Martial God Heavenly Art had unimaginable mysteries.
He quietly came to the warehouse where the cotton-padded clothes were placed and hid inside the Xuanwu Ding. With a thought, the Xuanwu Ding rolled forward a little and slowly rolled into the warehouse.
Such a large warehouse is filled with cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but our army just doesn't have them.
Ye Xiangyang stood up and used his mind to activate the Xuanwu Ding, which covered all the clothes and armor in the warehouse.
Ye Xiangyang shouted in a low voice: "Collect!"
The entire warehouse became clean and tidy. Every mouse that came in would be overjoyed and leave with tears in its eyes.
Using the same method, Ye Xiangyang collected food, medicine, weapons, and fodder.
When the fodder was collected, since the fodder was placed in the open air, the soldiers guarding the fodder discovered in the blink of an eye that the fodder covering a hundred acres was gone.
He rubbed his eyes hard and confirmed again that it was really gone.
He was stunned for a moment. Oh my god! It was my turn to guard the fodder, but how come the fodder was gone in the blink of an eye? Even if there were tens of thousands of troops, it would be impossible to take away the fodder in the blink of an eye.
He shouted loudly and reported it quickly.
Lights immediately lit up in the military camp, and the generals came to the granary one by one. They were stunned to see that there was no fodder. The general in charge ordered to kill dozens of soldiers guarding the granary, but the military advisor stopped them and they headed towards the warehouse.
They saw that the warehouse door was intact and nodded. Fortunately, as long as everything in the warehouse was still there, they were not afraid.
The door creaked open, and more than twenty generals were stunned to see the empty warehouse without even a piece of clothing.
The leading general's heart was sinking and sinking.
"how so?"
"I don't know. I just personally led several thousand soldiers to put the clothes here."
"Let's go to the granary and take a look."
These people were really anxious. They had no more food and fodder for the horses, which would sustain them. If they failed, they would just kill the horses. Now they had no cotton-padded clothes, so how would the soldiers survive this severe cold weather
The granary was clean, not even a grain of rice was left.
The armory was clean and tidy, not even a single weapon was left.
These people were dumbfounded. They didn't know why this happened. In an important area for grain and fodder, there were camps next to each other and soldiers stationed one after another. Even if a bird flew past, it would leave a trace. Why did so many things disappear for no reason
This is half a month's food rations for more than 100,000 troops. Where can we get so much food now
Man is iron and rice is steel. If he doesn't eat for a meal, he will be hungry.
Food, clothing, weapons and medicines for hundreds of thousands of people...all disappeared within these two hours. This is not surprising.
In the camp here, people's hearts were in turmoil and people were talking about it. The generals were discussing countermeasures. Ye Xiangyang had already driven the golden fire lion towards the granary in the south.
As long as the two granaries are empty, the more than 300,000 soldiers will have nothing to eat, and there is a possibility of victory in one battle. The end of the middle battlefield will inevitably drive the battlefields on both sides.
When we arrived at the granary in the south, it was already the darkest time before dawn.
Ye Xiangyang spread out his mental power, and knew clearly the distribution of things in the granary.
First came food and cotton-padded clothes, which were transported here and there together.
Then came weapons and medicine, and finally, Ye Xiangyang arrived at the hayfield at dawn.
Ye Xiangyang made up his mind and directly put the entire hay field into his Xuanwu Ding. As soon as the dozens of soldiers who were put into the hay field entered the Xuanwu Ding, they were swallowed by the four lions inside.
The barracks four or five miles away felt the earth shaking, and they watched helplessly as their own hay fields were destroyed.
In the blink of an eye, the hay field, along with the dozens of soldiers here, and the land more than ten feet deep below the hay field, were all gone. The hay field, which was dozens of acres in size, became a new big pit.
The people here were in an uproar.
They also faced the situation in the north. Food, weapons, medicine, clothes... everything was gone.
When General Hu received an urgent report from his general, he opened the box and took a look, and couldn't help but gasp.
These two generals are the most capable men under his command, and they will never lie.
Beads of sweat also oozed out of General Hu's forehead. You have to know that these were food and fodder for 350,000 soldiers and horses, and winter clothes for more than 300,000 people. They were gone overnight. What on earth happened
