Chapter 376: Li Chi

Fengmen Pass, Governor's Office.

The cold wind was whistling and the snow was falling. Two rows of soldiers wearing armor were arranged around a room, one by one, standing straight with their knives and standing on the ground like nails. A silence of slaughter came to his face, captivating courage.

These are all the elite soldiers selected by Situ Chong's personal guards and the Zhenguo army.

Apart from the whistling wind, there was silence around.

"Governor General, Xiao Jie's intention is already very obvious. It is nothing more than letting the Northern Barbarians block us and then trying their best to eat the Black Armored Army. We cannot let him succeed!"

A voice came from inside, breaking the tranquility.

"Well, that's the case!"

Inside the room, Situ nodded and looked at the others.

"Mr. Governor, I believe that it is inappropriate. I believe everyone has seen the situation in the pass. Let's not talk about the morale for the time being. If the food and supplies are not enough, let alone rescue the Black Armored Army, I'm afraid that before we leave the pass, the people below will disperse first."

Since the shortage of food and grass in the pass, deserters have occurred from time to time and cannot be stopped.

"I'll add it, too."

A burly man stood up. He was nearly two meters tall, and his muscles were all over his body to hold his clothes tightly. Standing in the room was like a crane standing out from the crowd. But what was more noticeable was that his right shoulder was only an empty sleeve.

"In addition to supplies, many of our soldiers have already had a shadow on the Northern Barbarians outside. Some soldiers saw that the Northern Barbarians had not yet been beaten, so they were timid first and asked them to go out and break through the Northern Barbarians' blockade. I am afraid--"

Speaking of this, the man with broken arm shook his head sadly.

I thought my figure was already outstanding, but in front of those Northern Barbarians, I was about the same as a boy.

On the battlefield, if you want to kill a Northern Barbarian, you have to sacrifice at least five veterans on the battlefield. This is the most ordinary barbarian. If you meet those barbarians who can go crazy, even fifty people will not be enough to send him away. His arm will be torn off by those barbarians.

God has already blessed that scene at that time to save a life.

These days, the power of the Northern Barbarians has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the soldiers in the pass. Faced with these huge men with great power, they have gradually lost their hearts and only have a deep sense of powerlessness.

Situ Chong also saw the situation of the soldiers in the pass, but he had no choice but to do anything. The morale and morale of the army were not improved by his mouth and the prestige of the governor, but needed victory and continuous victory to forge. They had not won a decent victory for a long time.

"Save it must be saved. I'll die with my lips and teeth. Everyone should do their best."

"Report~"

At this moment, a commissar rushed in from outside quickly.

"Report to the Governor, our reinforcements and supplies have arrived!"

"What!"

Everyone stood up in surprise.

"His Highness the Third Prince has entered the customs with reinforcements and supportive food and supplies!"

The messenger said again.

"Very good!"

Situ Chong showed joy on his face, "Everyone will come with me to welcome His Highness the Third Prince!"

The arrival of reinforcements and food and grass is like a heart-warming agent, which has brought about a lot of rebound in the morale of the sluggish interior, allowing everyone to see the dawn of survival.

"Your Highness, General Situ is here!"

Next to a carriage, a white-faced eunuch said to the carriage with his body bent.

Although the weather was cold, the eunuch's clothes were still thin, which was in sharp contrast to the thick guards around him, which shows that this person was undoubtedly a master.

"Click~"

As the carriage door was opened, the third prince Li Chi, wearing a cloak, walked out from inside. He stretched out his body and looked around, "It's finally here, this damn weather, Xiao Shunzi, aren't we much late?"

"Don't worry, in such weather, no one can deliver supplies on time. Your Highness has done a good job."

The eunuch flattered.

In fact, according to the prescribed itinerary, they arrived a month late. According to military rules, the person in charge of escorting food and grass was executed, but because of heavy snow and the road blocked and Li Chi's identity, no one dared to cause trouble for him in this matter except for those clerks who were stupid in the court.

"I have seen His Highness the Third Prince!"

"Oh, General Situ quickly and exempted the gift."

Li Chi walked forward with a smile on his face and held Situ Chong's arms, "Thank you for your hard work, General Situ, I'm not late, right?"

Is it too late that you don’t have any points in your mind?

Situ Chong snorted secretly, but smiled and said, "Haha, the road is blocked with heavy snow. It's not too late for Your Highness to arrive today."

After the food and supplies were delivered, Situ Chong was not vague and immediately ordered cooking, so that all the soldiers in the pass could get a piece of meat!

When they heard that they could eat meat, the soldiers who were almost hungry suddenly cheered, temporarily forgot about the cruel Northern Barbarians outside the pass, and were looking forward to the meal.

In the Governor's Mansion, Situ Chong also held a simple banquet to welcome Li Chi.

"Governor!"

Before the banquet began, Wen Chungang hurriedly found Situ Chong.

"Brother Mu Ru, what happened?"

"I just brought people to count the house. Weapons, armors and armors are the best numbers, but the food and grass are two-thirds less than those in the account book!"

Wen Chungang showed a serious face. With so much food missing, Fengmenguan came to eat another 50,000 yuan, and this little food couldn't last long.

"Why are there so much less!"

Situ Chong frowned immediately. Even if he had consumed on the road, it would be impossible to lose so much food at once.

"Sir, this matter is probably unrelated to the third prince!"

Wen Chun said angrily.

He would never believe that the third prince did not embezzle the food and grass.

"This matter is kept confidential first!"

Situ Chong solemnly ordered.

The situation in the court is changing all the time. After the second prince's successive defeats, some officials who originally supported him have moved into the camp of the third prince Li Chi. Now the power behind Li Chi cannot be underestimated.

"But--"

Wen Chun opened his mouth, and before he could finish his words, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside.

"General, the third prince is here!"

At this moment, reports from personal soldiers came from outside.

"I got it, I'll go out now."

After Situ Chong finished speaking, he looked at Wen Chungang, "Brother Mu Ru, let's discuss the matter of food and supplies later, and go out to deal with the third prince first."

"Farewell, sir, I know that what I don't like the most is this kind of scene. I still have a lot of things to do before I finish it, so I'll do it first."

Wen Chun was about to leave as he said, but Situ Chong grabbed his arm, "Brother Mu Ru, I know you don't like that highness, but you must know that gentlemen are easy to deal with, but villains are hard to guard against, so let's go out with me."

After saying that, he pulled Wen Chungang out without saying anything.

During the banquet, most of the famous generals and officials in Fengmen Pass were here. After the dishes and the wine for three tours, the topic suddenly talked about sending troops to rescue the Black Armored Army.

"General Situ, I can't understand why we have to send troops to relieve the danger of the Black Armored Army?"

Li Chi asked with a strange face.
