Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

"I'm...looking for a toilet!"

Because he couldn't figure out the other person's thoughts, Lu You could only smile and speak along.

Hearing this, Jiagu Ying pointed in the direction where Lu You came from: "The toilet is over there, what are you doing here?"

"It's full..." Lu You's mind raced: "I want to go pick up some wild food!"

"Stop talking nonsense. You are the sentry at the camp gate. What exactly happened outside?" the sturdy man asked coldly.

"There are warriors attacking the camp!" Lu You quickly replied, "There is only one person, and he has been surrounded by the brothers. I am here to report this."

Upon hearing that, the sturdy man looked towards the outer camp, then stepped forward and grabbed Lu You by the scruff of the neck.

"Come with me!"

Lu You felt pain, but didn't dare to resist at all.

Because she knew that if she went deep into the Jin army camp and her identity was exposed, she would die here even if she ate the power pills as candy beans.

Being grabbed by the collar, Lu You took the opportunity to see clearly the black iron token on the man's waist.

Mengan!

This is equivalent to the military rank of Qianzong in the Wu army.

Why was he targeting me?

"Master Meng'an, please be gentle, it hurts..."

Lu You begged, appearing unusually submissive.

But the Eagle didn't listen and just kept pinching Lu You's neck. After walking about a hundred steps, it pushed Lu You aside.

"Commander Bing, the sentry at the camp gate, bring Su Can, the flag captain of the Third Tiger Camp!"

Command the army...

This military position seems to be the second only to the Grand Commander among the Jin soldiers, right?

How could such a person be on the second floor if he is not in the core camp?

Hearing Jiaguying's words, Lu You was confused, but he still stood aside obediently.

This is actually a mistake in Lu You's thinking. In the military system of the Jin army, although the commander's position is the same, the troops under his command are very different.

According to the Jin system, ten people set up a small flag, five small flags formed a general flag, and two to four general flags had one Mouke.

Going up, ten Mouke would be assigned to one battalion, with a Meng'an position, and three to four battalions would have a deputy commander.

Three to five are deputy commanders, forming an army with a commander-in-chief.

Therefore, the number of soldiers under the commander's command was at least 9,000 and at most 20,000, which was a huge gap.

If it weren't for this large-scale war of siege and plunder, the military commanders in various parts of the Jin Dynasty would have been equivalent to the generals of the provincial armies of the Wu Dynasty.

This is not because the Jin people are small, but is related to the topography of the two countries.

Although there are mountains in Wu State to the east of Ningguan, there are also large plains. The generals of each state have at least 60,000 to 70,000 men under their command. If there is a rebellion, they can mobilize the military and local forces to encircle and suppress it at will.

The Jin Dynasty had fewer plains and was mostly mountains and hills.

If the number of troops stationed in one place exceeds 30,000, the supply and transportation of food and fodder will become a big problem.

Secondly, the terrain within the Jin Kingdom is complex, and even if unrest occurs, it would be difficult to deploy an army of more than 100,000 people to fight.

Therefore, the Jin Kingdom's troop deployment was based on the existing model of the Wu Kingdom, which was to break up the large military group and station them in various places.

If any unrest occurs, at least three troops of more than 10,000 people will be sent to suppress it.

The division of troops, power and territory, and the checks and balances of the various armies ensured the stability of the Jin Dynasty's military power.

As for the commander-in-chief of this siege, the Grand Commander-in-Chief, he was a special position whose purpose was to integrate all the "small groups" of Jin troops into one.

Jin Ting had a good idea. He wanted to use a general with command ability to completely unite the various armies into one.

But everyone has overlooked one thing, and that is human nature.

This time, the Jin soldiers attacked Wu. Nearly thirty Jin troops, large and small, joined together and marched eastward to capture cities and plunder land. They had to charge, attack cities, garrison, and ensure the supply and transportation of food and fodder.

Who is in a dangerous position and who has an easy task is all decided by the Grand Commander in Chief. There is no telling how many intrigues and hidden deals are involved.

The camp where Lu You was located was the least welcome one in the entire army.

It is none of their business to capture a city and garrison it.

It is not their job to ensure the logistics and food transportation.

The Jin soldiers are now stationed and have been placed at the outermost edge of the camp, making it clear that they are the vanguard troops who will charge into battle, attack the city and die.

This kind of thing sounds heroic when it is spoken out.

But in fact, everyone who has fought in a war knows that when a siege begins, the defenders have the most energy and the most defense equipment.

Their role is to use their lives to deplete the weapons and strength of the city defenders.

As for the credit for climbing the city wall and seizing the flag, that was all prepared for the soldiers who were climbing the city wall behind them by stepping on their corpses.

How could the commander of such a cannon fodder army possibly enter the center of the camp to rest?

"Bring it in!"

The tent door curtain opened, and a stern-faced Jin soldier with a full beard replied in a deep voice.

Jiaguying, who was standing beside him, turned his head and looked at Lu You: "Go in, the commander-in-chief has something to ask you."

"Yes!"

Lu You didn't dare to refuse, and immediately followed Jiagu Ying into the big tent.

The interior of this tent was different from the costume dramas that Lu You had watched in the 21st century. There were no beds, tables, or chairs, let alone marching maps or the like. There were only a few thick animal skins on the ground as cushions.

When Jiaguying stood still on the left side, there were a total of ten people in the big tent, including Luyou.

Lu You entered the tent, glanced around lightly, and then hurriedly saluted with the etiquette of the Jin people.

"Su Can, the flag captain of the Third Tiger Battalion, pays respect to the commander-in-chief."

Although Lu You spoke calmly, his heart sank to the bottom.

Now Babi Q!

Although it was just a casual glance just now, Lu You could see clearly that the four people standing on both sides were all wearing black armor, with black iron tokens hanging around their waists.

This means that the eight people on both sides all hold military ranks above Meng'an.

Although none of them said a word, Lu You had copied Luo Shixin's mastery of the Qi skills.

Although this skill can only sense changes on a purely physical level within a certain range around it.

But to some extent, it also strengthened Lu You's perception of danger.

She could almost conclude that the eight black-armored men standing on both sides of the tent were all warriors in the inner strength realm.

It is even possible that there are "monsters" in the Huajin realm hiding there!

I’m going to die!

Thinking in his mind, Lu You contacted the system directly, ready to release the ultimate killer move he had imagined if there was any slight change!

"Keep your head up when you speak, don't be so nervous."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded, causing Lu You to subconsciously look up and forward.

Opposite Lu You, right in front of the big tent, a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and holding a scroll was looking at Lu You with a smile.

Is this the Jin army commander?

When he saw the other person's face clearly, Lu You felt dizzy.

The other person was dressed in the typical Wu Dynasty scholar's attire. Even if Lu You saw him in the camp, she would just think that he was an unlucky guy who was captured by the Jin soldiers.

Could it be that this guy is just like that old fellow Wang Mingzheng, the magistrate of Pingchang County, who was trained by the Jin Kingdom and wanted to be an undercover agent planted in the Wu Kingdom?

Lu You's thoughts were flying, but he saw the commander of the Jin army speaking with a smile again.

"It's so chaotic outside, what happened?"
