Chapter 4778 Insufficient food and grass

But Lu Yu's Qingxin Daoyin is much better than those sleeping aids.

Chai Longxiang said: "I have arranged for all my troops to conduct patrols. With the suppression of the Lingshi Cannon, the Tang Army should not be able to launch an attack for a while."

Lu Yu nodded, but had another thing on his mind.

"Go and ask the quartermaster to come over!" Lu Yu said.

Soon, the quartermaster was found.

This quartermaster was not a civil servant, but a general. Because I was injured a few years ago, I was unable to participate in foreign operations and could only remain as a quartermaster in the rear.

"I've met a few adults." The quartermaster was very dignified. Even when he met several senior generals, he remained calm and collected.

In the Chinese army's tent, only a few governors and Chai Longxiang were still there.

Lu Yu asked: "How long can the army's rations be sustained now?"

This is what Lu Yu is most concerned about.

Li Mi was right about one thing. The Qianlong Army came all the way and food and grass were always a problem.

Although everyone has some food in their hands, a huge army of tens of millions consumes a huge amount of food just for food every day.

Today's monks cannot eat wind and drink dew like the ancient immortals. Bigu is just a legend. Just swallowing spiritual energy will make the human body very weak.

The quartermaster said: "According to the account books, the current food reserves of the army can still support..."

"I don't want the numbers on the account book, I want you to tell me in person." Lu Yu interrupted him directly.

The military account books clearly show the amounts of various supplies.

Moreover, there is not only one quartermaster, but three or more quartermasters who record the records together. If there is a large deviation in the amounts recorded between them, they will be traced and held accountable.

Lu Yu had already seen the account books with his own eyes, but he was still prepared to ask in person.

The quartermaster thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "The current food and grass can only fully support three days."

Several people around him showed shocked expressions. They had been mentally prepared before, but after hearing this number, they were still a little surprised.

With only three days, even if you want to break through Hulao Pass, you can't do it.

Song Qinhu asked: "There are supplies from the surrounding star mansions. Isn't it possible to collect military rations?"

Along the way, they recovered many stars that were previously occupied by the Tang army.

The Tang army marched all the way with lightning speed. They had no intention of long-term management of the stars they occupied, but only sent some troops to defend the strongholds.

As Dayu's army advanced, these strongholds were removed one after another, and all the territory that originally belonged to Dayu was recovered.

A wry smile appeared on the quartermaster's face: "The Tang army seems to have expected that our military rations would be insufficient. They took away all the food reserves in various places in advance. In some places, there was even famine, and groups of mortals died."

"We will take away what we can, and destroy what we can't take away. We investigated downwards and found that at least several stars were destroyed, and many places where they could survive were reduced to scorched earth. Some people fled in small groups.

, but there are many mortal areas that have long since become purgatory, and they are no longer a place for people to stay.”

Lu Yu frowned: "Aren't they afraid of being punished by God for doing this?"

Chai Longxiang sighed: "For them, as long as they can win the war, it doesn't matter what method they use. What's more, mortals are just ants to them, and they don't care about the life or death of the ants."
