Bo Luo Ming nodded, proving that what he said was quite acceptable. In that case, what are you waiting for? Call these two idiots and get ready to start manufacturing.
"promise."
In the evening of the same day, Lian Xu and Ming confessed to the other two clan leaders. They also agreed to Lian Xu and Ming's plan, and agreed to take one from each of the four counties and leave Li Shi to share. However, Jiang Shen was kept in the dark about all this.
In the dark, all he could think about now was to rush to Shangdang with his troops to support Zhang Yang.
The next day, the three men made an appointment with Jiang Shen in the Chinese army's tent.
"Mr. Jiang, we have something that we hope you can help us solve."
Lian Xu and Ming looked at Jiang Shen and couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
"Clan leader, please tell me if you have anything to say. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Seeing Lian Xu and Ming suddenly becoming polite, Jiang Shen was also a little confused.
"The army is short of food and fodder. I hope sir can help us get some food and fodder."
Lian Xu and Ming smiled slightly and said the words they had discussed with Bo Luo Ming.
"Is there no food left?"
Hearing what Lian Xu and Ming said, Jiang Shen couldn't help but be confused again. What the hell is this? You've already run out of food in just a few days. How can you fight this battle?
"Well, I don't know if Mr. Jiang can do anything about it."
Lian Xu and Ming nodded to Jiang Shen.
“Where can I go to borrow food in this wilderness?”
This time, Jiang Shen was stumped. The important thing was to get food and grass for the party. He could still find a way to get it together, but they had just crossed the border now, and they were unfamiliar with the place and asked him to go get food and grass.
"If there is nothing you can do, we will have to raise food ourselves."
Seeing Jiang Shen's dilemma, Lian Xu and Ming smiled again and gave an answer that made Jiang Shen even more difficult.
"No, I understand that you want to rob, but time is urgent now and we can't waste any time."
Jiang Shen finally understood what Lian Xu and Ming meant, which was to launch an army to plunder.
"Then you help us raise some food and grass. I can't let my sons go hungry to help you fight the war."
When Wo Chenghe heard Jiang Shen's words, he raised his eyebrows and shouted at him.
"How about this? Chief, you lend me a thousand soldiers and horses, and I'll borrow the food. How about the army continues eastward?"
Jiang Shen was frightened by the loud shouts of Wo's rebuke. This foreigner is so uneducated.
"Okay, then leave everything to Mr. Jiang, Bo Luo Ming."
It's your words that I've been waiting for. When Lian Xu and Ming heard Jiang Shen's words, their eyes filled with crescent moons.
"exist."
Boluo Ming stood up from where he was sitting and cupped his fists towards Lian Xu and Ming.
"You will bring two thousand elite cavalry with Master Jiang to borrow food."
"No, I don't know where you are going to borrow food."
"Hey, this is the closest to Lin County, so let's go there."
Jiang Shen was also trying to catch up, but he had no choice but to wave his hands and walk out of the tent.
After a while, there was thundering horse hooves, and Bo Luo Ming led two thousand fine cavalry to follow Jiang Shen in the northeast direction. About half an hour after they left, the three clan leaders gathered troops and prepared horses and also rushed towards Lin County.
Just as their army was maneuvering to the northeast, several fast horses rushed out of the nearby mountain col and ran towards Zishi at great speed.
On the morning of the third day, while Wen Chou was still on the road, news from the scouts had reached Yuan Shu's tent.
"Beat the drums of the generals and raise the tent to discuss matters."
"Dong dong dong,"
The heavy gathering drums resounded through the sky, and the originally noisy camp suddenly became quiet. Zhao Yun, Ju Yi, Du Wei, Dong Zhao, and several other generals all walked towards the tent.
The captains and team leaders under their command were not idle, and ordered their troops to prepare for war. Facts have proved that as soon as the general drum sounds, the war is not far away. If you don't sweat before the war, then wait for the blood to be shed during the war.
"My lord, but the scout has news?"
When the generals sat down, Zhao Yun directly asked Yuan Shu.
"Well, the scouts found traces of aliens in the Qingrun area. There are about 50,000 people on horseback. Moreover, they are coming in a menacing manner, but the direction they look at is towards Benlin County."
Yuan Shu opened his mouth and informed everyone sitting again about the news discovered by the scouts.
"Linxian, no, the aliens are trying to rob us."
When he heard that the enemy was heading towards Lin County, Dewey's expression changed and he shouted, "It's bad."
"Pingfeng, don't panic, come to Kanyu."
Several soldiers carried the huge Kanyu into the Chinese army's tent.
"Pingfeng, you are familiar with Xihe County, please introduce me to it."
Yuan Shu directly handed the stick to Dewey's hand.
"Lord, the Qingrun area you mentioned is right here."
Dewey hit a plain with his stick.
Following Dewey's stick, everyone saw where Qingrun was.
"It takes about a few days to get from Qingrun to Lin County."
Yuan Shu glanced at Qingrun, then at Lin County where the enemy was going, and couldn't help but ask this question.
"The terrain of Qingrun area is flat and roads extend in all directions. If you follow a straight line, it can be reached by the cavalry in three days, but it is still not easy to get there.
On the way from Qingrun, you have to pass through two big rivers, one is the Wuding River, and the other is the Yellow River (called the Changhe or the Big River in ancient times. For convenience of writing, here it is written as the Yellow River.),
The first is the Wuding River. Not only is the river wide, but the water is also very fast. It is not easy for one or two hundred people to cross the river at the same time. For 40,000 to 50,000 people, it would take them three to five days to cross the Wuding River.
After crossing the Wuding River, there is another Yellow River. The Yellow River is more majestic than the Wuding River. These two rivers are enough for them to walk for a week. Plus the time on the road, these foreigners from Qingrun to Lin County will take at least
It will take more than ten days to walk.”
Dewey silently estimated the time in his mind and gave an approximate time.
"More than ten days, how long do you think it will take us to get from Zishi to Lin County?"
After analyzing the enemy, it’s time to analyze your own.
"The distance between us from Zishi to Lin County is farther than Qingrun, but it is only a little further. If the cavalry is mobile, five days is more than enough, but for the infantry, it will take at least ten to fifteen days."
Dewey is indeed a veteran of Xihe County, and his grasp of distance is quite accurate.
"That means we will arrive in Lin County five days earlier than the foreigners. How do you feel?"
Yuan Shu nodded to Dewey, then glanced at Xun You aside.
"Prefect Du, if we want to ambush, where do you think is the best place?"
After receiving Yuan Shu's signal, Xun You also asked Dewey a question.
"Ambush? My lord, don't you want to defend the city? That's 50,000 cavalry."
Hearing Xun You's words, Dewey was completely confused. Normally he would enter a defensive state when thousands of knights came over, but Yuan Shu actually thought of setting up an ambush? This was something he couldn't even imagine.
"Prefect Du, what do you think is our purpose in coming to Bingzhou?"
Yuan Shu curled his lips slightly and looked at Dewey.
"Aren't you going to crusade the remnants of Dong's thieves and seize Bingzhou?"
