"Prince... Our army has won another victory. As long as we continue to pursue the victory like this, it will not be a problem to capture the entire Gansu and Shaanxi. Why is the prince unhappy?" the general asked in confusion.
Yelu Shenxuan was in an extremely bad mood and did not speak. Another general in the camp said: "It is a good thing to win the battle on the front line, but there is one more important thing... the last message sent from Langting
A batch of grain and supplies were all destroyed."
Hearing this, the general whose face was full of joy just a second ago suddenly widened his eyes. It felt like he had made a lot of money doing business outside, only to find that his mother-in-law had been cheated on him when he came home.
"How can it be!?"
The general lost his voice and said: "Now that the rear is vast, no one dares to touch the food and grass of our Liao army, and the operation route is extremely confidential. Where can anyone have such ability and courage!?"
No one dared to answer this, everyone had a gloomy face and was in a very bad mood.
"Think about it with your mind, besides Qin Jun, who else would do this?"
Yelu Shenxuan was furious, grabbed a tea cup and smashed it on the ground, roaring: "Little Li Chen, you don't have the ability to fight me head-on. You only know how to do these sneaky things. You are acting like a villain! You are not a husband! You are not a son of man."
!”
Looking at Yelu Shenxuan, who was a little out of sorts at this time, the general also realized the seriousness of the matter. He said: "Prince, our army's food and grass have been almost consumed at the moment, and the weather is getting colder, so the winter supplies must be replenished.
Originally, once the batch of supplies sent by the Wolf Court arrived, it could support our army's consumption for at least two months, but now that it is all gone, how to deal with it is the top priority."
"If there is no food and grass, even if the man can bear it, the war horse cannot support it. It is freezing cold and the war horse will suffer great losses... Prince, what should we do?"
Yelu Shenxuan's expression was extremely gloomy. He took a deep breath to calm down a little, and said in a low voice: "After two days of pursuit, how many battles did we encounter? How many enemies were annihilated together?"
Faced with Yelu Shenxuan's extremely leaping question, the generals were stunned for a moment, and then replied: "In the past two days, there have been a total of eight battles, large and small, and our army has won all the victories and annihilated the enemy..."
·More than ten thousand."
Yelu Shenxuan walked to the map. This map was their entire march route since they came out of Crescent Pass.
"The people here have marked the locations where eight battles have occurred in the past few days."
After everyone marked the locations according to Yelu Shenxuan's requirements, a clear route map appeared in front of everyone.
"What did you see?"
Yelu Shenxuan turned his back to the general, stared at the map, and said: "Do you know a folk method of catching sparrows? Sprinkle some grain on the ground, and then use the grain as bait to lure the sparrows to follow suit and walk into the trap while pecking.
As long as the sparrow enters the trap, the person hiding in the distance will immediately trigger the mechanism, so the sparrow will be trapped in the cage and unable to fly."
"What I saw was eight grains of food, leading us into a trap."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the generals present changed.
Clenching his fists tightly, Yelu Shenxuan said coldly: "The most troublesome thing is that the food and grass have been destroyed, and we have no way to turn back. We should go back to Crescent Pass right now. Now the heavy snow has blocked the world, and we can't even dig the roots of grass."
With less than a few, hundreds of thousands of troops can only starve to death at Crescent Pass, or be sent to death in the ice and snow!"
