Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

In the darkness of night, the carriage swayed slowly on the official road.

At this time in the car, Widow Zhou and Mrs. Liu were leaning against each other and yawning. As for the others, although they were sleepy, they were still holding on.

After all, there was limited space in the carriage, and everyone was curled up. Plus, the carriage was bumpy, making it impossible to sleep well.

The most energetic one in the car now is the deer that had slept for half a day.

Hu Laojiu also sat on the edge of the carriage at this time. This was allowed by Lu You, otherwise he would have fallen behind long ago.

"Old Hu, you are a soldier. Although you have never fought in a war, you must know more about marching than us."

"Analyze how long it will take for the Jin soldiers to catch up?"

Lu You asked Hu Laojiu curiously, swinging his legs.

Hu Laojiu was about to fall asleep, but when he heard Lu You's question, he forced himself to yawn and replied.

"It's highly unlikely that they'll catch up that quickly."

"I don't know much about the war, but I have heard some things from others."

Hu Laojiu sighed and then told his speculation.

According to him, the fighting style used by the Jin soldiers basically consists of three parts.

The first part is the scouts, who sneak into the city to coordinate with the outside forces.

The second part is the scouts and cavalry. The scouts block the road and clear the villages along the way to block the news. The cavalry then catches up with the scouts who have entered the city and attacks the city.

The third part is the real army, which not only has to capture cities and territories, but also has to ensure that all hidden dangers are eliminated wherever they go.

Only in this way can we ensure the subsequent supply of food and grass when attacking the city.

However, this method of marching also has a big disadvantage, that is, every time scouts and reconnaissance troops capture a small county town, they have to wait for the main army behind to catch up.

Otherwise, if they were greedy for merit and advanced recklessly, especially when nearly 10,000 people escaped from Qingshi City and the news had been leaked, it would be easy for someone to cut off the connection between the front and rear teams, putting the entire scouts and cavalry in front in danger.

Therefore, at this time, those scouts and cavalrymen must be waiting for the troops behind in Qingshi City.

After hearing Hu Laojiu's detailed analysis, not only Lu You, but also Zhao Wenbo and others who had originally closed their eyes to rest, looked over in surprise.

"Do you know the art of war?"

Zhao Wenbo said in surprise.

Hu Laojiu's analysis just now almost restored all the arrangements of the Jin soldiers.

Although these analyses are concise, they are very comprehensive, taking into account everything from the deployment of troops to attack the city to the subsequent food and grass.

Could it be that by chance, they had met a wise counselor?

At this time, Lu You was also a little confused. She chatted with Hu Laojiu just because she was bored and wanted to find someone to talk to.

Who would have thought that Hu Laojiu actually had such skills?

"I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to have the hidden attributes of Han Tiaotiao!"

Hu Laojiu looked at Lu You in confusion when he heard this: "Han what...what attribute?"

"He's just a weird guy who jumps around in the canyon. It's not important." Lu You explained casually and then asked curiously, "I don't think you look like a scholar. Who taught you this military strategy?"

"The third child... is the one who was transferred here from Yanzhou with me."

Speaking of the third child, Hu Laojiu couldn't help but sigh.

"That boy is different from us. We were conscripted men, but he wanted to be a soldier on his own."

"He always says that he has the potential to be a great general, he just lacks an opportunity!"

"But who would have known that we would be sent to such a rotten place like Ningguan just after we became soldiers, and he would have no way to display all his abilities!"

When Lu You heard this, his heart moved and he directly summoned the income system interface.

"What's the third kid's full name?"

Lu You flipped through the negative emotion income records and asked Hu Laojiu.

At that time, Zuo Yunfeng once said that one of the soldiers and bandits had escaped from his hands. That little Sanzi had a good brain, so maybe he was the one who escaped.

Such a talent made even Lu You curious.

"Meng Liang!" Hu Laojiu sighed and said, "He is the third child in the family, so we all call him Little Sanzi."

The moment Hu Laojiu said the name Meng Liang, the system interface in front of Lu You changed.

The original chaotic records were all changed into the two words "Meng Liang".

Looking at the screen full of negative emotion income records, Lu You was very sure that the other party was most likely a member of the six-man team that was chasing him.

"Why are you asking him?" Hu Laojiu looked at Lu You curiously.

"Curious." Lu You said casually after leaving the system interface: "Let's not talk about Xiao Sanzi anymore. Let's talk about you. You are a soldier, how come you are living like a beggar?"

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +30, +30, +30...]

Hu Laojiu glanced at Lu You with resentment in his eyes.

"You took away all the silver, weapons, and bows and arrows I had on me..."

Hearing Hu Laojiu's words, Lu You hurriedly waved his hand guiltily to interrupt him.

"Come on, let's change the subject. So many Jin soldiers died at the East City Gate. Why didn't you bring any weapons with you when you came out?"

Hu Laojiu became even more depressed after hearing this.

"You think I didn't want to? But the weapons had already been taken away by the first group of people who left the city. When I passed the city gate, the clothes on those corpses were stripped off."

"You people in Qingshi Town are really cruel!"

Listening to Hu Laojiu's muttering, Lu You frowned slightly.

After the east gate was broken open, he sat under the city wall and checked the task rewards given by the system, and did not pay too much attention to the fleeing people.

But after hearing what Hu Laojiu said, Lu You felt a hint of danger.

It is understandable that people pick up some weapons to protect themselves in troubled times.

But in such a panic situation, they actually picked up all the swords, weapons and crossbows. That was a bit strange.

You have to know that those were the weapons of thirty or forty Jin soldiers, especially the bows and crossbows, which posed a great threat even to himself.

These things were scattered among the people, and Lu You always had a bad feeling in his heart.

As she was thinking, she heard Xiaodouzi in front of her suddenly exclaim!

“It’s the city wall!”

"We have arrived at Pingchang County!!"

Xiaodouzi's shout perked up everyone in the car. Even Widow Zhou and Mrs. Liu, who had been asleep for a long time, were woken up and looked ahead in confusion.

At this time, the carriage had just passed a ridge and could just see the outline of the city wall in the distance at night.

“We’re finally here!!”

Widow Zhou said happily, her tone full of joy, and the others were also very happy looking at the large fire under the city wall.

The situation is turbulent at this time, and the city wall represents safety in everyone's mind!

Lai Shun waved the branch in his hand to whip the horse's back, and the speed of the carriage increased again.

But when everyone came to the fire, they found that things were not as optimistic as they thought...
