Chapter 46 Chapter 46: Soulless Night Run (18)

Gu Yueyi frowned, but did not speak. The centurion was an old soldier, he knew what he meant, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Everyone still has two coarse wheat pancakes, and the brothers in the upper city have one more horse meat, thanks to the dead war horses. But there is not enough rice, There are only two carts left in total, and it will be empty in five days. We all eat rice in northern Shanxi, and the rice is not durable, and most of them were burned by Li Jun, and the ones that were snatched out were pitiful. ." "Before Li Gong leaves, the fire is burning... It's really embarrassing to win." Gu Yueyi said, "Fortunately, there are still enough oats, so I don't have to worry about running out of food."

"Oats... that's what horses eat," said the centurion. "There is only such a little food left, and the supply is far away. If there is no these oats, I will really panic." Gu Yueyi sighed, and patted the rough battlements. It was cold and the stones felt It's also cold.He looked out of the city, and there was a flat and open wasteland sandwiched between the mountains on both sides. There was a forest extending from the foot of the mountain in the far distance. Looking at the forest at night, the forest was just dark. Listening quietly, it seemed that he could still hear the wind blowing The rustle through the leaves.

"The general said that supplies are far away?" The centurion worried. Gu Yueyi shook his head: "The latest batch of supplies did not catch up. This time, Chu Wei and Xia Tang are responsible for supplying the army rations and livestock. A few days ago, the army reported that Chu Wei's supplies were broken out on the road. Li's army robbed and killed all the food and burned it on the spot, and almost no one survived. It is too far to go to Tang, and they need at least ten days to supply." "The Nanmanzi is really a beast. When he broke through the siege, he still burned, killed and looted all the way, as if his soldiers were not at all scattered." The centurion licked his lips, hesitating, "General, I don't know if it's appropriate to ask a sentence... ..."

"You say, it's okay." "We defeated Ying Wuyi this time, and we are also the hero of King Qin. It is said that Tianqi City is close at hand, so we can't supply it from the imperial capital? Didn't it mean that the royal missions are here today?" The centurion smiled, " To be honest, the brothers still want to go to Beijing to see. I heard that the prosperity of Tianqi City is the city of ten thousand cities. Compared with it, the autumn leaves are like the countryside. My family even asked me to buy some small things from the imperial capital When we go back, we will also see off our relatives and friends, knowing that our coming out this time is a triumphant victory. Being able to enter the imperial capital, with us, is something to boast about."

"I haven't been to the imperial capital, and I want to visit it too...but I did meet the imperial envoy. In the afternoon, the imperial envoy came to my barracks and rewarded me with jade, gold coupons, and the official uniform, but did not provide any supplies. As for the matter of going to Beijing for pilgrimage, it is still the same old talk, and it can only be decided after the Qin Tianjian observes the sky and selects an auspicious day." Gu Yueyi gathered up his battle clothes, sat on the ground, and threw a wooden branch under the pot.The fire shone on his young face, and his expression was indifferent, "Even though the jade bi, gold certificate and dress are very good, it's a pity that they can't be used as medicine or food."

The centurion was silent for a while, and understood the meaning of Gu Yueyi's words: "We are also serious teachers who work hard..." "The death of a courtier for the emperor is regarded as a matter of course. The emperor does not think that you are indebted to the royal family. What you do is just proof of your loyalty. Whether the royal family agrees to the supply and whether to summon it is another matter. It's another matter." Gu Yueyi twitched her nose, and the faint scent of rice soup had already begun to fill the air, "Is the porridge ready? I'll eat a bowl with you."

"It's very rare..." the centurion rubbed his hands, "I'm afraid the general has been wronged." "There is no grievance. Now that I am returning to the camp, I am afraid that the fire will be cut off. I can't let the soldiers cook for me. I didn't mean to get close to the soldiers. In my main camp, there are also porridge and two coarse wheat noodles Pancakes." Gu Yueyi smiled, her young face full of indifference. The sergeants gathered around, and there were more than fifty people left in the team led by the centurion, sitting around the pot one by one.The centurion sat beside Gu Yueyi, and unwrapped a coarse cloth bag, inside was a pile of rough pancakes and some two-finger-wide strips of dried horse meat.Gu Yueyi was present, and the soldiers all seemed restrained, muffled and silent.The centurion asked them to pass on the pancakes and horsemeat rims, each with one piece of dried meat and two pancakes.When it was passed to the last sergeant, there were only two breads and a piece of jerky left. This was his portion, and there was no extra dry food prepared in the first place.If he takes it again, he can only hand over a piece of coarse cloth to Gu Yueyi.He was holding these things, as if he was holding a big problem, not knowing what to do.It was still a young sergeant, quite handsome, about sixteen or seventeen years old, sweat was almost dripping from his white forehead.

Seeing his dazed look, Gu Yueyi smiled suddenly, took the coarse cloth from his hand, and slapped the coarse wheat flour pancakes and dried meat sticks in his palm.
