At night, Lu Shu took stock of the supplies. The most gratifying thing was mainly the military rations of the Armed Guards. Ye Xiaoming had long regarded the Armed Guards as his private property, and he could do whatever he could with the money from collecting grain and deducting wages. He originally relied on this when the war came. Lu Shu made a lot of money by raising the price of a batch of grain, but now it was all cheaper for Lu Shu.
"Yeah." Lu Xiaoyu nodded.
At this time, Lu Shu looked at the guards outside on the wall with a sad expression. He agreed to protect these guards out of vanity and impulsiveness, but after he was happy, he didn't know what to do.
"Have you found a way back into the mountains?" Lu Shu asked.
If there is really someone behind the Red Flame Army, then the other party will definitely not let him see the Emperor of Heaven.
"Back." The confidant said: "Our most elite scouts went to the place you mentioned, but there was no trace in the cave. The scouts said that the place should have been discovered by the Black Feather Army. The people hiding in it But he was shrewd and was not caught by the Black Feather Army."
But the question is what do so many people eat
"I found it. The depth behind the Anshan Mountains is very long. When I was looking for alkali mines, I discovered an underground cave. It was very large and stretched for more than ten kilometers. It looked like a perfect hiding place. There was a water source nearby, and there was no It’s not very steep.” Lu Xiaoyu said, “What if it’s just food?”
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu frowned, and she whispered to Lu Shu: "The Qing Sai army seems to have broken out from Nangeng City, and happened to collide with the black feather army to the north."
The Qing Sai Army in Nangeng City was not having a good time. When the Black Feather Army invaded in large numbers, they were like locusts crossing the border. What Liu Yizhao didn't expect was that the other party directly sent a first-class guest minister to mix with the army. When the two armies fought, they almost lost their lives. Take action and kill him.
Liu Yizhao looked at the distant mountains, wondering if someone wanted to kill him with the help of the Black Feather Army? However, he couldn't say this to anyone because it would involve too much. He could go to Bingtian Emperor to explain the situation of the Red Flame Army's inaction, but Liu Yizhao knew very well that he might be a corpse before he could see the Emperor of Heaven.
Lu Shu said calmly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that the scale of this war will be huge. Pack up your things and stop soap production for now. Peanuts will be used as food."
However, an army composed entirely of practitioners is different after all. The Qingsai Army has long had magical weapons specifically designed to deal with first-level masters who can fly. Under normal circumstances, these weapons will be collected in the warehouse and are extremely valuable, but Liu Yizhao has already had many weapons this time. Good hunch.
Liu Yizhao breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, go and prepare, we will break out in time."
At this moment, none of them, who were tired, could have imagined how glorious the shabby reputation of the Wuwei Army would become in the future. The turning point would begin tonight.
The bandits and the homeless children of the armed guards behind him remained silent. Everyone was waiting for Lu Shu to lead them out of a way out.
"Then what should we do now, Commander?" the confidant asked in a low voice.
Lu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that thousands of people were carrying sacks, which meant that the harvest was very good. In this way, the food problem could be alleviated a little. So when Ye Xiaoming came to him to ask for military support, he simply wanted to make money. It wasn't because he didn't have money. I'm afraid he had already searched for all the nobles and big slave owners in Yun'an City.
…
By then, the Qingsai Army will inevitably lose most of it. It would be good if only a few thousand of the 30,000 Qingsai Army can be left. But Liu Yizhao felt that it would be better to lose most of them than to die here. He didn't believe that the Red Flame Army dared to make the decision privately and not come to rescue Nangeng City. There must be other tricks behind this.
He observed the remaining members of the armed guard for two days. Perhaps the farming matter had become an invisible selection, but these people were quite willing to endure hardship.
Now I can brag to Chen Zuan and the others when I go back. Even if Lu Xiaoshu comes to Lu Zhou, he can easily sneak into the commander of an army. The bandit Lu Shu comes ashore overnight and is cleared...
This made Lu Shu understand that not all waifs are lazy players. Some of them became waifs because they were forced to do so. Those who were too lazy to cheat and cheat had all died under the iron heel of the Black Feather Army.
"Fortunately, I was crazy about buying peanuts some time ago and accumulated food reserves by accident. Although it's not a problem to eat peanuts all the time, I can survive for a while." Lu Shu thought for a while and said, "That black-feathered army is for The lightly packed Jianxing did not raid Yun'an City. I guess there must be food and wealth in Ye Xiaoming's private treasury. Liu Qianzhi told me that Ye Xiaoming also has two private granaries. Please take Li Heitan and Liu Qianzhi there and bring them there. Put all the things into the space ring. If there is not enough space, let someone carry it. Be careful of those armed guards. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed. "
When the sky had just turned dark, I was waiting on the road on the wall of the village when I suddenly saw Li Heitan coming up the mountain with a big smile on his shoulders. When he saw Lu Shu, he said happily: "Your Majesty, we have made a fortune. Ye Xiaoming is really rich." !”
"This batch of food should be enough to survive for half a year." Lu Shu thought for a while and said, "I don't know when the situation in Nanzhou will stabilize."
Lu Xiaoyu was carefully keeping accounts at this time. The original little girl was now able to help Lu Shu as a housekeeper, with a mature and serious look on her face that did not match her age. It's not that she likes doing this, it's just to help Lu Shu share some of the pressure.
The Nanzhou Red Flame Army, which was originally supposed to be reinforcements for Nangeng City, was now guarding Liyang Pass, more than a hundred miles to the east. If the other party really wanted to reinforce them, they would probably arrive in two days, but Liu Yizhao knew very well that the other party was not willing to take risks. , I want to use the Qingsai Army to test the intentions of the Black Feather Army.
Liu Yizhao asked: "Have the people who went to Tiangeng Town come back?"
As for the Wu Wei Army in the north... Liu Yizhao never had any expectations for the Wu Wei Army...
"Abandoning the city is a capital crime." The confidant whispered.
Liu Yizhao glanced at him: "Of course I know this news. The Red Flame Army thinks that he can hold Liyang Pass without reinforcements. He doesn't understand the truth at all."
For Lu Xiaoyu, this is more like a game. If Lu Shu wants to play, then he should play well with Lu Shu.
"Abandon the city, gather the soldiers and horses of the Wuwei Army to the north, and leave Nangeng City to the Black Feather Army. I want to see if the Red Flame Army can keep the Black Feather Army out of Liyang Pass!" Liu Yizhao said coldly. At that time, the strength of the Serbian army still existed in the Qing Dynasty, and it was no problem to break through before the Black Feather Army's army really came over.
Now that Nangeng City was under siege, Liu Yizhao decided to retreat when he saw that the reinforcements were not arriving. He had no intention of coexisting with the city.
"Now someone wants to kill us. This move is not tolerated by Nanzhou. We may have to flee to the end of the world before the time comes." Liu Yizhao sighed.
The Black Feather Army was coming with ferocious force, and he knew very well that this time the Black Feather Army's attack was different from the past, so he had been ordering his cronies to carry with them magical weapons that could deal with the first rank.
Lu Shu asked Lu Xiaoyu to send Anthony out to stay behind the Black Feather Army from a distance, observing the opponent's movements at any time. They didn't know when the provincial Black Feather Army would make a comeback.
Extraordinary times require extraordinary treatment. At this time, Lu Shu was preparing to lead the armed guards into the mountains! Once the Qing Sai Army breaks through, it means that Yun'an City has lost its last barrier. It is only a matter of time before the Black Feather Army fully captures this place.
A follower whispered: "Commander, the Black Feather Army has a very big plan. According to rumors, the Western Emperor Duanmu Huangqi opened his mouth. If the Black Feather Army can capture ten cities in Nanzhou, he will grant ten more city lords from the Black Feather Army." , reward the three armies!"
Lu Shu turned around and looked at the dark night behind him: "Enter the mountain at dawn!"
