At the gate of the Forbidden Army stationed in Partridge Fang, Bai Qiong was holding a token with blood patterns on a black background, leading a group of followers, and was fighting with several Forbidden Army officers.
Bai Qiong was full of anger, his face was red, and there was steam rising from his head.
One step behind the camp gate, a group of forbidden soldiers were holding spears, pointing their spearheads at Bai Qiong and the others. If they dared to forcefully break through, they would be stabbed into pieces by the spears.
On the archery towers and guard towers on both sides of the gate, dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers holding crossbows also locked onto Bai Qiong's group.
"I have been ordered to come here to see your general." Bai Qiong waved his token and shouted loudly.
"We don't recognize this token." A captain held his hands in front of his chest and shook his head lazily: "Get out of here!"
"You guys, be brave!" Bai Qiong was so angry that his eyes were twitching: "This is a marching order issued by the Ministry of War. Wherever they go, the troops stationed in various places must obey the military orders and cooperate fully."
Another captain laughed loudly, pointed at Bai Qiong and said with a smile: "Brother, look at your elegant appearance. It is your first time to join the army? You are holding a marching placard from the Ministry of War and giving orders to our forbidden army?
"
Bai Qiong looked at the captain of the Forbidden Army in front of him in confusion: "Ah? Yes, what is it, is it different?"
Lu Qian and his men strode over.
Hearing Bai Qiong's shouting, Lu Qian sneered: "Bai Qiong, you brag all day about your literary and educational gentlemen. Each one of them knows astronomy and geography, can establish a country with martial arts, and can govern a country with literature. All of them are skilled in various arts."
Skilled people are the pillars of the country's governance. This is really a fucking joke. You haven't even figured out the most basic divisions of Dayin's army, how dare you join the army?"
Hearing Lu Qian's voice, Bai Qiong jumped up as if his butt was on fire, turned around angrily, and stared at Lu Qian with gritted teeth.
After staring at Lu Qian for a long time, Bai Qiong said sharply: "Lu Qian, why are you here?"
Behind Lu Qian, Yu Diaihu raised his staff and reprimanded loudly: "You are so outrageous. Duke Tianyang is the Queen of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, the General, and the co-signer of the Supervisory Army of the Suppressing Rebellion Army. Are you from the vanguard of the Suppressing Rebellion Army? What?
Duty? If you dare to be rude to the supervisors, will our swords not be able to chop off your head?"
A group of divine generals behind Lu Qian suddenly raised the gold and silver swords given by the emperor and other ceremonial guards. Lu Qian's personal guards even drew their sabers and pointed them at Bai Qiong.
Bai Qiong suddenly took two steps back, his face twisted and he was speechless.
Lu Qian pointed at Bai Qiong, feeling greatly confused.
On the night when Bai Lu turned into a ghost, the nine Bai Qiong brothers were all seriously injured and suffered heavy losses of essence and blood. These days, they all lie at home and depend on various nourishing medicines every day.
But the Bai Qiong in front of him was full of energy and blood, even a little ridiculously strong.
There were wisps of white air rising above his head. It was because the temperature above his head was too high. The fine raindrops wet his hair and then evaporated into water vapor.
With such strong blood energy, it was obvious that his injuries had healed.
"Yes, the woman who came to seek refuge with Bai Changkong today?" Lu Qian squinted, hiding the question in his heart, and asked coldly: "It's dark, Bai Qiong, what are you trying to do by breaking into the Forbidden Army camp?
?”
The captain of the Forbidden Army on the side came up and said with a smile: "Tian Yang Gong Mingjian, this guy took the marching order issued by the Ministry of War and asked our battalion to prepare food, wine and meat for them... Isn't this a joke?"
Lu Qian was stunned, and Lu Jun, Lu Yi and others beside him all laughed wildly.
Many years ago, Dayin's army was all under the control of the General's Office. At that time, any army stationed in any garrison camp could allocate supplies and supplies as needed with a marching document issued by the General's Office.
However, a hundred years ago, when the cultural and educational power was booming, the Ministry of War under the Prime Minister's Office came forward and decentralized power from the General's Office. The Dayin City Defense Army was newly established, under the overall command of the Ministry of War. From then on, the Forbidden Army, the Yulin Army, and the Fifth Army under the General's Office
The government, etc., were completely separated from the city defense army system.
The imperial army's pay and supplies come from the 'Taifu'.
The Ministry of War is responsible for part of the logistical supplies of the city defense army, and most of the money and food is spent by the Ministry of Household Affairs under the Prime Minister's House.
Bai Qiong took the marching order issued by the Ministry of War and came to the head of the Forbidden Army camp to ask for food supplies from the vanguard army... It was ridiculous enough.
Lu Qian looked at Bai Qiong strangely and said quietly: "Bai Qiong, if you want to allocate food and grass, you have to go to the camp of the city defense army. But as for the garrison at Partridge Fang, the camp of the city defense army is here with us.
The campground..."
A captain of the imperial army laughed and said: "Mr. Tianyang, our camp is at the northwest corner of Partridge Square. The camp of the city defense army is just at the southeast corner of Partridge Square. It is only three hundred meters away from us.
There are two rivers and three mountains in the middle of the land. If we need to carry hundreds of thousands of horses and supplies of grain and grass."
The captain looked at the dozen or so people following Bai Qiong and kept shaking his head: "Just a few people? Are you kidding me? Brother, are you afraid that someone has deceived you?"
Bai Qiong's expression suddenly changed.
The vanguard army under the command of Zhuge Li had to rush to Anping Prefecture at full speed, so their departure was a little hasty. The army only carried a very small amount of dry food and other supplies. It was enough for the vanguard army to carry it for three days.
But the army rushed to Partridge Fang, and Zhuge Li ordered the camp to be set up, which was right next to Lu Qian's camp.
On Lu Qian's side, the soldiers drank hot soup, ate barbecue, rice, steamed buns, and old wine. How happy were the soldiers?
It is absolutely impossible for Zhuge Li's vanguard army to eat steamed buns by themselves and watch the friendly troops eat and drink, right?
When this happened, the morale of the vanguard army collapsed.
Therefore, Zhuge Li threw a token to Bai Qiong and asked him to go to the garrison camp to allocate food, wine and meat!
Bai Qiong, Bai Lang and their brothers have been hanging out in the Imperial Academy all their lives. They basically know nothing about things in the army.
Bai Qiong didn't think it was such a hard job, so he rushed to the Forbidden Army camp with a dozen of the guards Bai Changkong arranged for him.
However, the Forbidden Army actually refused to recognize the marching order issued by the Ministry of War in his hand!
If he wants to allocate food and grass, he must go to the city defense army garrison camp three hundred miles away?
Three hundred miles?
Still have to cross two rivers and three mountains?
Are you kidding me?
Zhuge Li's vanguard army definitely did not have the claimed 500,000 men, but the food, grass, wine and meat allocated must be in proportion to the 500,000 men.
Anyone who practices martial arts can eat it. The standard meal for these soldiers of the Pioneer Corps for a dinner is two kilograms of rice, one kilogram of meat, three kilograms of fruits and vegetables, and other oil, salt, miso, etc. are not included. Each soldier is about
Seven or eight kilograms of food are needed.
Five hundred thousand people, just consider four million catties of grain supplies?
How many civilians, how many carriages and horses, and how much time would it take to transport it from three hundred miles away to the military camp of the Pioneer Corps?
Bai Qiong's forehead was covered with sweat. His eyes widened and he asked Lu Qian at a loss: "Zhuge Li, do you want to harm me?"
Lu Qian coughed slightly: "The marching route of your vanguard army should not be this one. You should take the stone bridge in the south to cross the canal. In this way, you can now set up camp outside the city defense army's camp, allocate food and grass, and
It’s an easy thing.”
As soon as Lu Qian finished speaking, a group of heavily armored warriors like wolves and tigers, led by a golden-armored general, ran over wildly.
A group of people rushed forward, and the Jinjia general pointed at Bai Qiong and shouted: "Mr. Bailiang, where's the rice? Where's the noodles? Where's the meat? Where's the wine? Damn it, in Haojing City, do you still want your brother?"
Are we hungry?"
Bai Qiong looked at the golden-armored general at a loss: "General Zhuge, I, I, I..."
Jinjia General Zhuge Li's face drooped and he said angrily: "He is indeed a waste. General Li is indeed right... Come here, take this waste from Baiqiong that delayed the military plane and deal with it according to law!"
"No, no!" Bai Qiong screamed angrily: "You cheated on me, you cheated on me... You are so shameless, you, you..."
A group of fierce soldiers rushed up, tied Bai Qiong tightly with ropes in a few seconds, and carried him away like a fat pig.
The dozen or so guards around Bai Qiong looked at each other silently, one of them shook his head slightly, and the group followed the group of warriors silently.
"Huh? Interesting!" Lu Jun spoke softly and pointed at the dozen guards.
Lu Qian looked towards them.
These guards are actually all eight feet tall, handsome young men with jade-like features and handsome faces. They are wearing battle robes, soft armor, and the cloaks tied outside... are actually water pink?
How could such a gorgeous color appear in a military camp?
Lu Yi sniffed hard: "It smells so strong of fragrant powder. Could it be that these guys are the ones brought by Bai Qiong and the others?"
Lu Qian, Lu Jun, and Lu Yi shuddered at the same time.
"Let's go and have a look." Lu Qian waved his hand, and a large group of people ran towards Zhuge Li's Chinese army tent.
At the gate of Zhuge Li's camp, Lu Qian and others were also stopped.
After Lu Qian showed the emperor's imperial edict, the emperor's scepter and other items, the group finally successfully entered Zhuge Li's camp, but the time was also delayed for a cup of tea.
Outside Zhuge Li's Chinese army tent, there was a wooden execution platform. Bai Qiong's trousers were pulled down, revealing two pieces of white jade. Two burly military judges were holding heavy iron and wooden poles, "Bang bang bang."
'Hitting the military stick loudly.
The white jade ball in Bai Qiong had been beaten to pieces, and half of the execution platform was dyed red with blood.
Brothers Bai Lang and Bai Xi were so angry that their faces turned red and they stood aside and jumped on their feet.
However, they were surrounded by heavy troops from all sides, and there were thousands of heavily armored soldiers visible to the naked eye. Bai Lang, Bai Xi and the others could only watch Bai Qiong being tortured, but there was nothing they could do.
In the big tent, Zhuge Li's voice came slowly: "I just sent out troops, and it was ominous to kill the generals. Thanks to the help of the generals, I spared you the death penalty... This is the first and last time. Baiqiong, you
If you dare to be careless and delay the military plane again, don't blame our military law for being ruthless."
Zhuge Li shouted sharply: "Are you convinced?"
Bai Qiong almost fainted from the pain. He screamed at the top of his lungs: "I'm convinced, I'm convinced!"
Lu Qian shook his head, turned around and left the Pioneer Army's camp without entering the tent to say hello to Zhuge Li.
