The person who set the fire not only avoided the eyes and ears of all the Qing Palace disciples, but also quietly destroyed several formations, which is really amazing.
She even suspected that it was a traitor who did it, otherwise how could he be so unnoticed?
But it was an undeniable fact that the transfer warehouse was burned and the entire army was short of food. She had no way to defend herself, so she could only admit it by scratching her nose. The only solution now was to solve the immediate trouble first.
Lu Wushuang also understood that Bai Moji did not want to ask for food from Lingxu City.
To transport grain from Bejia to here, even if it starts from the nearest Baoshu Kingdom, it still has to pass through a large swamp, and then cross the Xilao Kingdom, Jinying Kingdom... Despite the fact that Xilao Kingdom is weak, in fact, the area is not small, and the transportation road is very long.
Being so far away, 70% to 80% of the food and grass would be lost on the road, and only 20% could actually be transported to the Jinying front line.
There is an old saying: If a country is poorer than its teachers, it will lose far, and if it loses far, the people will be poor. The Bejia family has a great business, and they will not become poor and uneasy just because they have to transport food across a few distances, but transporting food from within the country proves Bai Moji's incompetence!
Why not grab food nearby? This is the best strategy for an expedition. It not only allows you to have food to eat, but also leaves the enemy without food.
Besides, Fu Shanlie also described the wealth of the Maohe Plain. It was the autumn harvest at this time. How could Bega's army not be able to grab food?
As for how many objective conditions are restricted by the front line, how can the superiors in Lingxu City consider Bai Moji?
I sent you there to frighten Panlong City and Yuheng City.
I'm not asking you to come back with a rice bowl and beg for food, and by the way, you also want Silla Army's share.
Taking a step back, even if Lingxu City agrees to transport food from the rear, it will still take a month or two to go from Baoxiang Kingdom to the front line of Jinyang. Even if all the cattle and elephant monsters with heavy loads are used to carry the food, the speed will be very low.
It can't take ten days.
Water far away cannot quench thirst nearby, and there is now a food crisis on the Jinyang front line.
Therefore, Lu Wushuang did not defend himself and only said: "I will take responsibility for my problems. Does General Bai have a way to solve the current predicament?"
Seeing that she didn't shirk the blame, Bai Moji snorted: "Let Jin Ying continue to deliver food; also, Xilao Kingdom is not far from here, and their responsibilities cannot be shied away from!"
A country is like a sponge. If you squeeze it, you can squeeze out some supplies.
The ferocity in the words would make people from Jinyang and Xiluo shudder if they were here.
"I have also sent a message to Nanding." Nanding is a small country to the north of Jinyang Kingdom. Its area is almost the same as Jinyang, and it usually has no sense of existence. But at this time, Bai Moji will not miss it.
Lu Wushuang immediately asked: "Is there any response from Nanding?"
"……not yet."
Lu Wushuang nodded.
Although Nan Ding and Bai Moji have no past, the latter is Bejia's general after all. Now that he has opened his mouth, Nan Ding will probably sell him three-cent thin noodles and send him some grain and grass.
However, the quantity of these grains and grasses was limited, and the process of coordination, delivery, transportation, customs clearance, and delivery to the Jinying front line took as little as ten days and as much as half a month, and they were very worn out.
Lu Wushuang is very clear about the efficiency of these small countries. It does not mean that they can be improved quickly.
There is no way that the tens of thousands of troops on the front line of Jinying can just wait for these few mouthfuls of rice to be cooked.
Bai Moji also had to ask her: "By the way, what is the second solution you mentioned?"
Lu Wushuang immediately said: "Attack Yuheng City immediately."
"Huh?" Bai Moji was actually thinking about this idea in his mind, and became even more excited when he heard it.
He most yearns to go to the northwest front of Panlong City to kill the enemy and gain merit, but Lingxu City just sent him to the Jinying front to ask him to cooperate with the progress of the northwest front!
His superior also sent a message, telling him to concentrate on guarding the Jinying front line and not to act rashly.
Without "acting rashly", there will be no battle and no military success.
Are you planning to give all the credit to people like Lu Wushuang and Fu Shanlie?
Although the generals stationed in Yuheng City are also somewhat capable, and they once drove away Fushan Lie, how do they compare with the red generals in Panlong City?
But if the first battle of this war starts on the Jinying front, the battle here will also be of great importance in Lingxu City, and then Bai Moji will receive more attention.
"Look at the terrain of Longchuan. A large army cannot march straight into Longchuan. If a small group wanders around, it will not show the strength of Bejia." No matter what Lu Wushuang thought in his heart, at this time, he would not blame Bai Moji for not being able to clear Longchuan.
If we can't grab food, "continuing to waste it like this is not the answer. It's better to seize the opportunity to attack Yuheng City, use General Bai's best tactics, and use the army to suppress the situation. In this way, the best result is to capture Yuheng City, then
All problems are solved."
"The best result is that we can rush to the other side and seize an auxiliary city to gain a foothold. Then we can send troops to the plains to seize food continuously." Bai Moji led Beijia's soldiers! The best result cannot be obtained.
Can't we get the worst one? Lu Wushuang continued, "The Maohe Plain is rich, and Panlong City will grow and develop as soon as it gets it. The food here is abundant, not to mention 40,000 troops, even 400,000 troops can be supplied."
"
The biggest problem on the Jinying front line is that they cannot gain a foothold on the territory of Yuheng City. Thinking of this, Bai Moji felt angry.
As Lu Wushuang said, consuming it any longer is not an option. Although this is not in line with the strategy Lingxu formulated early on, how can a living person be suffocated to death, right?
"You and I jointly sign a petition to Lingxu." The exchange of information was very fast.
Lu Wushuang still did not hesitate: "Okay."
When she walked out of the big tent, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Master Zhifu." Her personal guard, the female soldier who was accompanying her, brought a thin coat and put it on her. The night wind by the river was already a bit chilly.
Lu Wushuang was walking along the river, her clothes flying, and she suddenly said: "The direction of the wind has changed."
"Yes, the east wind has been blowing recently at night."
There were only two dim lights on the other side of the river. They were Yuheng City soldiers patrolling the river bank.
Lu Wushuang stared at these two points of light and cursed: "The corpse is a vegetarian!"
The personal guard didn't know what he meant by this and didn't dare to answer.
"Relying on the shadow of my ancestors, I really treat myself as a dish." This sentence was even more vague, and even the personal guards couldn't hear it clearly.
Lu Wushuang walked along the river for more than an hour. It wasn't until the lights on the other side disappeared that she turned back and walked towards the camp.
She was actually not in a hurry at all about the battle on the Jinying front line. She was just the supervisor of the Xilao Army, and there was only one thing she could do at the moment, which was to drive this group of cannon fodder to die on the front line.
These are not her soldiers, let alone her people, so why is she worried? Although the petition sent by Bai Moji to the imperial capital has her signature, everyone knows that she is just a signer, and the real petitioner is just
Just Bai Moji.
A few days later, Lingxu City replied:
No!
No tampering!
The battle in Panlong Wasteland and Maohe Plain is like a game of chess. What qualifications does Bai Moji have to take the lead?
