In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 587 victory or defeat
In the land of Chu, the camp of the Qin Army.

Ever since the news came from Chen Di, Li Xin knew that he had been tricked.

Lord Changping rebelled against Qin, and civil unrest broke out in Han. All of a sudden, the logistics roads of the 20 Qin army were blocked.

If the grain ships cannot come in, the 20 troops will consume [-] to [-] shi of grain a day, not counting the rations for the cavalry horses and the livestock that transport the grain.

Other supplies, such as oil for maintaining bows and crossbows, winter clothes for soldiers, arrows... more importantly, salt.

Make ends meet.Once the salt supplies are exhausted, within a few days, the combat power of the Qin army will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Li Xin rushed back to help, lay down Chendi, and wanted to restore the logistics transportation hub.But Chu Jun stared at him at this time.

The terrain and the strength of the troops were cut and intertwined, and the Qin army was trapped between the land and the water.

Seeing the number of the 20 army decrease day by day, and the supplies consumed day by day, Li Xin could only choose an important place to garrison, but he had no way to break through.

What he lacks most now is supplies, not manpower.

However, as an important place for logistics transportation, rebellions have occurred, and the supplies cannot be transported at all.

"If this continues, we will definitely lose."

In the military tent, Li Xin punched the table with a fist, and his anger was suppressed and radiated.

The flying army under his tent is a first-class elite.But now, they couldn't show their bravery at all, so they were going to be trapped here to death.

These 20 troops are all the elite of Guanzhong, once confessed here, the whole country will definitely be shaken.

Li Xin thought of King Qin's advice when he came here, and felt regretful at the moment.

If he had left one or two captain's troops in Chendi before he came, he wouldn't be so passive.At least, not like today.

The generals in the account were speechless.Li Xin looked aside and asked.

"Where's Meng Tian's army?"

"Still in the rear. Most of their troops are cavalry, which consumes more. Now General Meng is opening up the passage to Dang County. I hope it will be in time!"

Li Xin knew very well that even if Meng Tian got through in the end, it would only guarantee a way out, and the 20 army would not be wiped out.

But failure, I am afraid it is inevitable.

If Mr. Changping had really connected with the Chu army, then the Chu army must have known at this time that the Qin army was running out of supplies.

The outcome is within a few days.

"General!"

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the tent.

"But the Chu army is attacking?"

Li Xin hurriedly asked, but Qian Zhang from Huofangying walked in with a troubled expression on his face.All the generals were taken aback, what is he doing here to cook?
"No, a weird person somehow broke into our camp, and he ate the generals' dinner tonight."

"what!"

After being raped, all the generals were full of anger.This time, not only did he fail to gain military exploits, but he might even be in danger of his life.Even if he was able to escape back to Guanzhong in the end, he might not be able to escape the guilt.

It means that you will not win the title, but the demotion is certain.

"What do you eat, why didn't the spies catch them?"

Qian Chang, who came to report, looked embarrassed and spread his hands.

"If we could catch us, we would have been caught long ago, but we couldn't fight! The generals also know, how can we people fight? What's more, that person is not a spy, and he seems to have a lot of background, don't look at him dirty..."

Li Xin didn't have time to listen to Qianchang's continued rambling, and led his people directly to Huofangying.

Opening the tent door, a dirty man was squatting on the ground, holding a big bowl in his hand, eating pancakes with broth.

It's delicious!
After the supplies are cut off, one should supply the school's supplies with the soldiers.In order to save supplies, the group did not smell meat for several days.

Seeing this kid almost finished the whole pot of broth.The general who followed behind Li Xin was even more angry than being cheated by Changping Jun.

"Oh, I stewed that sheep too. I carried a few hundred catties and drove for a long time. I'm hungry!"

This is not enough?
Everyone slandered, but Li Xin heard the difference and said it immediately.

"Mr. Hanyang?"

All the generals were shocked, this dirty beggar-like guy in front of him was actually Zhao Shuang?

However, this man was extremely rude and had no aristocratic cultivation. Could it be Zhao Shuang?

"Don't talk nonsense, first stew the lamb in the pot, save the lamb leg for me, I'm going to roast it tonight."

The generals were finally sure. Although they couldn't see his face clearly, this fellow should be Zhao Shuang.

This arrogant and shameless, that's right, it's him!
The crowd looked at the only sheep left and couldn't help swallowing.

Li Xin's face was happy, and only then did he notice that there were several bags beside Zhao Shuang, who knew what was in them?
"Quickly, follow Hanyang Jun's orders."

An hour later.

The bag brought by Zhao Shuang was placed on Li Xin's desk, but all the generals in the tent were not thinking about it.

Li Xin looked at the bag on the table with a heavy heart.

"Are you still eating?"

"Half a piece of pork, a head of sheep, ten pieces of fish, a catty of cakes, and some leftover bacon. Anything that smells like meat in our camp is either in his stomach or is about to go into his stomach. I went to see it just now, and it is roasting a leg of lamb!"

For some reason, when he said this, everyone in the tent felt like crying.

The generals could only forcibly divert their attention and focus on the bag on the table.

"What are these?"

Li Xin unlocked the mouth of the bag, grabbed a handful, and the snow-white particles like fine sand slipped from his fingers.

"It's refined salt!"

Everyone's complexion changed drastically.In war, besides food, salt is the most important thing.

Only sufficient salt can maintain physical strength.

The food and salt of the 20 Qin army were almost running out. When the time fell, as long as the Chu army charged, they would be scattered without fighting.

"But these hundreds of catties of salt won't last long!"

"It doesn't need to last long, just two or three days to keep more than ten thousand capable troops is enough."

At this moment, Zhao Shuang, who was dressed in black and full of stench, came in with a plate of roasted leg of lamb.

For the generals, the meat in Zhao Shuang's hand is more attractive than his words.

"What does Lord Hanyang mean?"

"Our army is in a desperate situation, and the victory or defeat will be within two or three days. Lord Changping rebelled, and the Chu army may have known the details of our army. I came galloping with these salts just for this victory. hand."

Everyone was a little moved.For a while, Zhao Shuang also took lightly on the fact that Zhao Shuang ate all the meat they had left.

"Hanyang Lord, what do you think of the outcome?"

"Our army is in dire straits, and so is the Chu army. The capital of Chu is in chaos, and there is no food and grass. Lure them to be weak, and lie in ambush for strong troops. If they can win, they will have vitality; if they lose, they will collapse across the board."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuang ate a mouthful of meat thoughtfully.

"Mr. Hanyang thought of a clever strategy?"

Seeing this, everyone asked.

"No, I'm just thinking, if you lose, it's important to maintain your strength."
