Daqin: Selling elves at the beginning, Zulong begged me to supervise the country

"The Qin army was able to be severely damaged this time, thanks to Luoyue sending troops to help."

Yi Xusong raised his glass and said to the man in his fifties, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Xiou, you are serious. The Qin army is our common enemy. The success of this raid is due to General Jie Jun's strategy."

The person who replied was Bian Wei, the general of the Luoyue tribe, who was ordered by the Luoyue leader to assist Xiou in retreating from the Qin army.

The Qin army moved all the way south, attacking quickly and fiercely. If Xiou was defeated, Luoyue would be next.

"Jie Jun."

Yi Xusong raised his wine glass and signaled to the young man in black without saying much.

Jie Jun is an outstanding general among the new generation. He is brave, resourceful, and good at talking about animals. His talents are not inferior to him.

The two drank it all in one go.

"You two should be happy about this great victory. Come on, let me toast you two!"

Bian Wei saw that the two of them were not in high spirits and wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

"Tu Sui is a ruthless person, and he will retaliate. He will not let it go if he uses a trick to seriously injure the Qin army this time."

Jie Jun's tone was calm. There was a huge gap in strength between them and the Qin army. If the Qin army fought to the death, they might not have a chance of winning.

"Hahaha, it's okay."

"Now that Tu Sui's grain roads have been destroyed and his granaries have been burned, it's just a fight between trapped beasts."

Bian Wei laughed, his face full of contempt.

"You are right, but this is only temporary. If supplies arrive, or if the other three Qin armies come to help, the Qin army will definitely counterattack."

Translator Song smiled faintly, "Jie Jun is right, but it's better to be careful."

On the bank of the Xijiang River, the Qin army camp.

Three teams of fast riders separated at the entrance of the military camp and rode in three directions.

Qin General Wang Yi quickly walked to the main tent and stood at the door of the main tent.

"The last general Wang Yi wants to see the general."

"Enter."

When Wang Yi entered the tent, he saw that besides Tu Sui, there were two other generals in the tent. He gave a hasty military salute and then opened his mouth to question.

"The general wants to call in three other troops to encircle him?"

"Why not?" Tu Sui lost all his smile and had a cold expression on his face.

"The Vietnamese army here only has 2 troops. Our army has 30 troops. Why do we need to mobilize another [-] troops?"

"Is there any progress for the other 30 Qin troops?"

"This......"

"If there is no progress, there is no point in staying where you are. I, the general, will attack together and crush the land of Xiou inch by inch, making it impossible for the Yue people to escape."

After saying that, Tu Sui walked out from behind the case.

Looked coldly at the three people below.

"Three of you, this general has decided that as soon as the army arrives, we will clear out all the cities in Xiou. Anyone who blocks our army will not be left alive."

"I'm not going to hide it from you, the Yue people burned all our food and grass last night, and our army's supplies won't arrive for a while."

"You still hope that reinforcements will arrive soon, otherwise we will either die in battle or starve to death."

The next three people looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

"Since the general has decided to encircle us, he will retire first."

After Wang Yi finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

"General, I retreat."

"Um."

Another general bowed his hand to Tu Sui, then turned and left.

"General Wang!"

"Do you think we can survive until reinforcements arrive?"

"It's true as the general said, our army can last for up to seven days even if all the rations are destroyed."

Wang Yi shook his head. If he doesn't eat for seven days, he will be unable to resist the enemy even if he is alive.

"Grrrrrrr~"

He stroked his shriveled belly. Breakfast was not served today. He thought he was just cutting back on his food intake, but unexpectedly, the army was completely out of food.

"Seven days." The general murmured softly.

The mountain road is difficult to travel, and even a forced march by the army closest to them will take ten days.

Their food routes have been robbed, and the situation of other armies may not be optimistic either.

Even if they could wait, the reinforcements might not have much food left.

"If we can wait for supplies..."

"You'd better think more realistically."

Wang Yi didn't want to pour cold water on him, but the reality was that the situation was so grim. The food roads were destroyed, and the next batch of supplies would not reach the army in less than half a month.

"for example?"

"Digging wild vegetables."

"General Wang is really good at joking."

Wang Yi glanced at him and did not answer.

......

"What? Digging wild vegetables? I'm here to make achievements, not to eat wild vegetables."

"That's right, that's right..."

"Shut up, everyone!"

Wang Yi stared at them with a gloomy expression, "You can't understand what I'm saying, right?"

"To make great achievements, you must first have a life."

"......"

The soldiers were so frightened that they fell silent and knelt down to plead guilty.

"General, calm down, the general will not dare to wait!"

"Humph."

Wang Yi looked at these soldiers, flicked his sleeves, and left.

When all the soldiers saw this, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Wang is really ridiculous today."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. The general is doing it for our own good. I heard that the army is out of food."

"Yes, I heard that too."

All the soldiers quickly agreed.

main account.

"General, Wang Yi led 3 of his men into the back mountains."

"Houshan? Who asked him to send troops without authorization? Is he planning to attack alone with his 3 people?" Tu Sui stood up suddenly, clenching his fists under his sleeves and making a rattling noise.

He had known for a long time that Wang Yi was pretending to be submissive. How could someone who had been with Wang Jian and his son for so many years easily accept him as the master?

Today he finally got the handle.

"No, General Wang Yi took people to dig wild vegetables." The soldier who came to report quickly explained when he saw Tu Sui's misunderstanding.

"Digging wild vegetables?" Tu Sui was slightly surprised at first, then smiled contemptuously.

The soldier lowered his head and remained silent. He was a little disdainful when he first heard it. After being hungry for a day, not to mention how much he envied Wang Yi's 3 people.

"Let him go. Can the others do anything?"

"General Gao and General Yu have not left their military tents, and their soldiers have not been trained. They say they want to conserve their physical strength."

"I know." Tu Sui waved away the soldiers and touched his empty stomach.

He had been on the battlefield all his life, never had he ever experienced such cowardice.

Wang Yi took his men and horses back to the camp at night. Because it was his first time and he had no experience, many plants were not sure whether they were edible. There was not much harvest, but it could barely fill his stomach.

Early the next morning, Wang Yi gathered his soldiers and planned to go out early.

As soon as he left the military camp, he met other soldiers lined up in front of the military camp. The two leaders were the other two generals with the same official rank as him.

"You two are this?"

"Digging wild vegetables."

??

"General Gao and I each led 2 people up the mountain, and the rest stayed at the military camp to prevent the Vietnamese from raiding." The general named Yu said with a sullen face.

Nowadays, filling your stomach is still important.

"You two are welcome." Wang Yi said and left with his people.

The troops were divided into three groups, each occupying a hilltop.

Wang Yi looked down at the wild vegetables in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

I think about how majestic I was when I fought in the six kingdoms under the command of Wang Jian and Wang Ben.

Now he actually makes a living by digging wild vegetables.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound above his head.

"The whole army is on alert and hiding!"
