Chapter 756 White Rice (2)
Caiwei rolled her eyelids and showed a look of contempt: "Let me ask you, what do the soldiers in the army eat now?"
Nangong Yi's expression froze, and his originally charming eyes suddenly became serious. He looked at her: "You know everything?"
Looking at the man's expression, Caiwei knew that her guess was correct. The food and grass he bought on the march had been eaten up. The soldiers of the three armies were eating moldy food sent by Concubine Jin's people. The soldiers were dissatisfied, and their morale was now beginning to waver.
"If I don't know, are you going to carry it alone without telling me?" Caiwei stared at him, a little angry!
Seeing that she was angry, Nangong Yi held her face and comforted her, saying, "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry about me. I will find a way to deal with the food and grass matter, so you don't have to worry."
Caiwei glared at him and said angrily: "The soldiers came with you to fight in this deserted land. They left their homes and went through life and death. They had to keep their heads in their trousers at all times, but you can't even provide the minimum of two meals a day." , Why should the soldiers trust you? If this continues, your army will be demoralized and your momentum will be gone before you can figure it out! "
The man's expression dimmed and he smiled bitterly: "Weier is right, I will attack Qinlun City in Mengnu tomorrow. Once I capture the city and seize the food, grass, cattle and sheep there, I can temporarily relieve my urgent need!"
Caiwei glanced at him, took his hand, turned and walked out: "Follow me!"
Nangong Yi let her pull her and followed her: "Where to go?"
"Go to where your army stores their supplies!"
"What for?"
"Even if we go to fight, we have to let the soldiers eat first. Only when they are full can they have the strength to fight!"
The two of them were talking and had already walked out of the tent. At this time, the sky in the east had turned slightly white, and it was soon time to light a fire in the Huotou Camp to rebel.
Nangong Yi took Caiwei and soon arrived at the place where the army stored food and grass.
When the ancients marched and fought, grain and grass were placed at high places in the camp to avoid water accumulation when it rained. The grain and grass in Nangong Yi's army were also stored at the highest point in the military camp. The hill-like grain hoards were next to each other. It turned out that there was a lot of grain stored inside, and each grain storage bin was covered with a thick tarpaulin to prevent the grain and grass from getting wet when it rained.
When the warehouse officer who was guarding the grain and grass saw Nangong Yi, he hurriedly led the soldiers to kneel down and said, "I see His Highness the King of Qin!"
"Get up, you guys have been guarding the food and grass all night, thank you for your hard work!"
Nangong Yi smiled lazily and glanced at Caiwei. He really didn't know what this little girl was up to. She insisted on driving away the guards guarding the food. However, since she said it, he would naturally do it.
"Please step aside. The king and the princess have something to say."
The corner of the granary officer's mouth twitched, and the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the granary also had a dark look. They had already seen the beautiful princess beside King Qin, but if King Qin wanted to talk to his sweetheart, he should not be sleeping in the tent. Up? Why did Mao come here? Do they have any special hobbies?
"Uh...yes..."
Although full of doubts, King Qin ordered them to leave, so they had no choice but to leave wisely.
"You also go out and guard me outside. No one is allowed in!"
As soon as the soldiers walked away, Caiwei drove Nangong Yi out without mercy. He walked into a grain store next to another.
Before she got here, she really didn't know that the batch of military rations in Nangong Yi's hands was so bad. She could smell the thick musty smell through the thick rations, which choked her nose. It itches and makes me want to sneeze!
