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

In the evening, in front of the military camp.

The group of people supported each other and staggered towards the military camp.

Because they wanted to avoid the territory of Bibi and Toucan, they chose a rugged path and ran all the way.

Finally got back before dark.

Seeing the familiar military camp, the breath he was holding finally relaxed.

"No, let's take a rest."

Shi Lu lay down on the spot, he had long wanted to take a rest.

After two days without eating or resting, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I relied on my will to hold on until now.

The accompanying soldier hesitated for a moment and then also lay down.

Now they are all under the control of Shi Lu, and Shi Lu is not a soldier, so the requirements for them are not strict, as long as they do things well as ordered.

Otherwise, even if they had ten courages, they would not dare to lie down here to rest, and they would have to crawl back to the tent to recover.

When Wang Ben and his party arrived in front of the military camp, they saw such a scene.

"Is this? Our granary will not be robbed, right?" Zhao Tuo looked in disbelief.

"It's impossible. The Yue people have been driven into the mountains by our army. Where are the people to rob the granary? Even if there are, it can't be so smooth."

They didn't hear much movement all the way here.

If the Yue people could quietly rob their granary under his nose, they wouldn't have to hide in the mountains to be with wild beasts.

"Go and see!"

When Wang Ben and his group slowly approached, there was still no reaction from the people on the ground.

"Master Shi?"

At this time, Wang Ben also recognized Shi Lu lying in the middle. Shi Lu's clothes were torn and torn by the birds and branches, and they could barely cover his body.

The others were better off in armor, but their hair was loose and unkempt.

This.......

What happened?

As soon as they arrived, Shi Lu was gone, so why did they build the canal?

He doesn't understand the matter of canal construction, so he can't just dig it up randomly.

The soldier stepped forward to check and found no fatal injuries.

He tentatively checked his breath with his hand, and his hand just touched Shi Lu's middle.

Shi Lu suddenly turned over on the ground.

hiss!

The soldier was frightened and took two steps back.

He is not afraid of the living nor the dead, but he is afraid of the sudden resurrection of the dead.

"General, the person is still alive."

"Wake people up."

"Master Shi."

A soldier stepped forward and patted Shi Lu's cheek, but there was no sign of waking up.

He pushed a few more times, but Shi Lu still had no response.

"General, what should I do?"

"Go to the military camp and ask for a military doctor to see what's going on with him."

"Follow!"

Soon a military doctor was invited, followed by two people.

The military doctor examined them for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Master Shi and these soldiers are not seriously ill. It's just that they haven't eaten for a long time and exhausted their physical strength. They will be fine after taking a good rest for a while."

"The army is short of food?"

This is the largest granary in the south, and it can make soldiers faint from hunger in front of the military camp. If you tell it, it won't make people laugh.

Faced with Wang Ben's question, the grain officer and general in charge of the granary didn't know how to answer.

They have been busy re-arranging grain transportation routes these days, and they really don't know much about the whereabouts of Shi Lu and the others.

"General, there is no shortage of food in the army, but the military situation is urgent now. We are busy escorting food and grass, while Master Shi and these little brothers are busy repairing canals."

"Both parties are so busy that they really can't take care of each other, and they don't know this..."

At this time two soldiers ran over in a hurry.

The general then asked.

"You guys are guarding the gate these days?"

"Yes, there are not enough manpower these days. During the day, we are the two of us guarding the place, and someone changes shifts at night."

The soldier guarding the gate didn't know what was going on and looked worried.

"When did Mr. Shi go out and when did he come back? Didn't you notice that there were so many people lying in front of the military camp?"

"Master Shi took people out early the day before yesterday. He didn't come back during the day, and his subordinates don't know if he came back at night."

The soldiers guarding the gate looked innocent. What these few people did was different from them. They usually acted alone. They went out early in the day and came back early or late. It was common for them to return late at night.

Shi Lu and his party had not been seen in the past two days. They just assumed that they had returned late at night and set off before dawn without paying any attention.

As a result, Shi Lu and his group of twelve people were missing for two days and no one found them.

"Okay, let's carry the person in and place him properly."

There was no point in asking further, so Wang Ben interrupted and went straight into the military camp.

"Yes."

The general directed people to carry Shi Lu and his party into the camp. After finishing their work, his eyes fell on the soldiers guarding the door.

"Twenty military sticks per person, go down and receive your punishment."

Shi Lu came to repair the canal on His Majesty's order. Although he didn't have much hope, he couldn't let anyone get into trouble.

Now that something like this happened under his nose and was encountered by Wang Ben, I am afraid that His Majesty will also be accused of dereliction of duty.

Well, the general and the grain officer looked at each other and sighed, then quickly followed Wang Ben's team.

The two soldiers suffered this unnecessary disaster. Although they were a little unwilling, they could only accept their fate.

There were few guards along the way, and Wang Ben couldn't help but frown.

"How many people are in charge of military supplies here?"

"Go back to the general, there are 2 people."

"This mountain road is really difficult to walk. The number of people required to transport food is four to five times that of usual."

"A few days ago, the Vietnamese ambushed our grain transportation team and suffered heavy losses. In order to supply the front line, we can only continue to send more manpower and open up new grain transportation routes."

So much so that it created the scene Wang Ben saw.

2 people is not too much, but not too much.

This time he went south to build the canal, and except for the few generals who accompanied him, he only brought [-] people with him.

"General, are you here to preside over the overall situation?"

The general spoke tentatively. He did not know about Wang Ben's arrival this time.

Wang Ben's official position was above him, so it was impossible for him to succumb to him. Either he was here to preside over the overall situation, or he had other tasks. He couldn't figure out which one it was for the moment.

"You are?"

"The last general, Wang Huai, is responsible for military supplies. This is the grain officer of Taicang, where Wei Lin is."

In order to facilitate the rapid supply of military food during battles, Da Qin had granaries in various places, the size of which depended on the local conditions and military conditions.

Each county has Taicang, county warehouse and rural warehouse. Among them, Taicang has the largest storage capacity and rural warehouse has the smallest.

After the First Emperor conquered Chu, he set up Taicang here and concentrated nearby grain here in preparation for the southern expedition.

Wang Ben glanced at them and nodded in response. Although their official positions were not big, they were important positions.

This kind of position usually involves trustworthy people personally appointed by His Majesty.

"I came here this time to repair the canal, and you will be responsible for transporting grain."

He was originally here to clean up their mess, but you still want to leave all the work to him?Don't even think about it.
