The next day, just after dawn, Li Mu's personal guards in front of Li Mu's tent reported to Li Mu: Lin Feixing, the battalion commander of Feiyu Battalion, has been waiting outside the tent for a long time.

Li Mu wiped his face with a clean cloth: "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

"Meet the commander in humble rank!"

"Get up, you go down first."

Li Mu came to sit in front of the case, waved to Lin Wanyue and said, "Move the stool and sit here."

"Yes!" Lin Wanyue moved the stool she sat on yesterday, and came to the place where she sat yesterday.

"Come on, come so early, but what do you think about that matter?"

"Yes, I thought about it all night, and felt that it was too strange that so much food and grass disappeared, but there are two things to do right now."

"Well, what two things do you want to talk about?"

"The first thing, my subordinates think that before the official winter, our army should retreat back to Yangguan City and refuse to defend. First, the autumn harvest in various places is over now, and the commander really doesn't need to provide such a long buffer. ,The walls of Yangguan City are always much stronger than our temporary camp walls. As the saying goes, the weather is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the harmony of people. Naturally, we have to start looking for food and grass, but we must also prepare for the worst, if we can't find it , the morale of the army will definitely be affected, if we lose people and we can only retreat to seek the advantage of land, three things, if we refuse a hundred miles later, the marching route will be longer when the Huns attack, and we can stay in Yangguan City and wait for work."

Li Mu stroked the beard on his chin and nodded.

Lin Wanyue continued in a low voice: "The second thing is that I am willing to bring a few capable people to Huzhou City to find clues. It is absolutely impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to spend the winter without food. Assassinated at the boundary of Huzhou City, the Huzhou prefect was also implicated because of this. The imperial court has not yet appointed a new prefect, and Huzhou City currently has no chief executive; The people who took the grain and grass must have seen through this, so Huzhou City is very suspicious!"

After listening to Lin Wanyue's words, Li Mu showed a smile on his face: "Sure enough, Fei Xing's idea coincides with this commander's, and what you said is reasonable and well-founded. It seems that Fei Xing This is a worthwhile trip!"

Lin Wanyue looked at Li Mu's half-smile eyes, and suddenly felt guilty for no reason, and sat on the chair awkwardly.

Fortunately, Li Mu didn't look at Lin Wanyue for a long time, so he withdrew his eyes and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you, if the food and grass cannot be found, can Feixing have a backup?"

"The humble official believes that the commander-in-chief can not let the lieutenants know about the robbing of the grain and grass for the time being, but he must hurry up and submit a letter to the court. The loss of grain and grass is so strange that the commander-in-chief and the morning book can take the initiative. If someone who wants to know, first Commander-in-Chief Yu reported to His Majesty that His Majesty might be suspicious. Besides, winter is coming soon, the northern region is bitterly cold, and there is no food in the stomach. It is difficult to endure the cold winter. If the lowly position finds food and grass by chance, you can write to the court to return the food; if the lowly position is incompetent , did not find food and grass, and asked the court to allocate food and grass earlier, so that the soldiers would not starve for a day."

Li Mu quietly listened to Lin Wanyue's words, and showed a gratified smile. He stretched out his thick big hand and patted Lin Wanyue's shoulder: "Very well, I will leave it to you to handle the matter of finding the food and grass." , whoever you want to help you with, you just click to go, you don’t have to report to the commander.”

"Yes! Marshal, I will write a detailed report to you when I return to camp later."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes, I will resign from my humble position."

Lin Wanyue moved the chair back to its original place and exited the big tent.

After walking out of the tent, Lin Wanyue puffed up her chest, and let out a sigh of relief, because the shame that her mind was blank yesterday and she didn't say anything was swept away.

After breakfast, Lin Wanyue called Lin Yu, Zhang Sanbao and Meng Nida, and after thinking about it, she called Bian Kai.

The five gathered in Lin Wanyue's tent, Lin Wanyue glanced sideways at Bian Kai, and was satisfied to see that although his face was tired, his eyes were much brighter than before.

Lin Wanyue sat down behind the case, and asked the other four people to sit down as well. After scanning for a week, she lowered her voice and said, "No matter what you hear next, keep silent. Similarly, what I will say next Every word is a military secret, you must not reveal a word to anyone, do you hear me clearly?"

"Yes!" All four of them showed serious expressions and waited for Lin Wanyue to continue.

Bian Kai never expected that he would be appreciated by Lin Feixing as soon as he entered the barracks. He participated in such a "secret" matter. He looked at Lin Wanyue with bright eyes, his upper body sitting on the stool stretched straight, his body Leaning towards Lin Wanyue.

"Yesterday I was in the commander's tent, and the commander showed me a secret report: On September 25, the army's winter food and grass were robbed in Huzhou City."

! ! ! ! ! !

As soon as this remark came out, it was like thunder.

Except for Lin Wanyue, the four people all showed extremely shocked expressions. They looked at each other, and all they saw were the expressions of surprise and suspicion in the eyes of others.

Seeing this, Lin Wanyue sighed softly, and waited for a while for the four of them to calm down before continuing: "Winter comes early in the northern region, and it may snow after a while. The food and grass are gone, I am afraid that the army will be in chaos. The Huns have not succeeded this autumn. According to the usual practice, there will be a fierce battle before winter, so you must keep your mouth shut and don't reveal a word. If our battalion To prevent being broken by the Huns, what should we do with the tens of thousands of unarmed people behind us?"

Lin Wanyue looked around with raised eyebrows, and saw that although the shock in the eyes of these four people had not faded away, the expressions on their faces had already become solemn.Then he calmed down and continued to lower his voice and said: "I have written a letter to the commander-in-chief to retreat to Yangguan City. On the one hand, he will lengthen the Huns' attacking front to wait for work. On the other hand, the city wall of Yangguan City is much stronger than the camp wall. We can hold out for a period of time if we refuse to go out of the city. The northern border is freezing cold, so we rely on the advantage of the terrain to consume the Huns, and the worst thing we can do is to fight to the death! Just killed the Huns and came back to cook and eat."

"Correct!"

"Brother is right!"

"I listen to the battalion commander!"

Lin Wanyue's words immediately boosted the confidence of Lin Yu, Zhang Sanbao and Meng Ni. What are you afraid of losing a scar that is no bigger than a bowl?It's not bad to eat the Huns without food!

Only Bian Kai, who had just arrived, could not help shivering when he heard that Lin Wanyue was going to catch the Huns to cook and eat.

In fact, he has never even killed anyone. Although Luocao has become a bandit, most of them are in charge of shouting and shouting. When passing by with Li Xian, she was completely convinced by Lin Wanyue...

Bian Kai carefully looked at Lin Wanyue with his eyes, and thought: This big brother Flying Star is only 16 years old. Although he usually doesn't talk much, he is considered kind, how could he become so cruel all of a sudden, even talking about eating human flesh? without blinking...

"The four of you are called here today. In fact, there is a task assigned to you. The food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops have disappeared in the territory of my country. It is certainly impossible to disappear so cleanly. I have already told the commander to go to Huzhou City. After investigation one or two, the commander-in-chief allowed me to bring a few capable men. Ayu, you stayed in this battalion to help the commander-in-chief before your leg injury healed. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the commander-in-chief did not intend to inform the whole army about this for the time being, but In the end, there must be someone who knows to help with the matter.”

"Don't worry, brother."

"Well, Sambo, your stature is so different from ordinary people that it is too eye-catching, and you are still in the army. I will give you the full power of Feiyu Battalion. Don't delay me!"

"Battalion Commander, don't worry, if I can't do it, come back and beat me with a hundred army sticks!"

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved. Ni Da, Xiao Kai, you two go back and pack your bags. It's not too late, and you will meet in front of my tent in half an hour."

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's go."

After the four of them left the camp, Lin Wanyue also started to pack her bags.

Picking out a few unremarkable coarse cloth clothes, the money bag is also indispensable, Lin Wanyue looked at the clothes wrapped in cloth separately in the box, thought for a while and took it out as well.

Lin Wanyue leaned on the box, bent over, and took out a piece of wood from the box.

Lin Wanyue stood on the spot, holding the wooden board in front of her eyes, and stretched out her other hand to gently rub the nearly hundreds of deep and shallow scratches on it.

After a long time, I put the board back into the box again, took a deep look, and then closed the box.

That piece of wood used to be something she would carry on her back whenever she left the tent, it was the driving force of her life and the purpose of her living, but now... I don't know when, everything has changed.

In the future, there will be another object that will replace this piece of wood that she has been obsessed with for almost three years, and will be with her every step of the way...

Lin Wanyue handed over the handwritten bamboo slips to Li Mu, which contained some of her in-depth views on the looting of grain and grass and her follow-up handling opinions. After saying goodbye to Li Mu, Lin Wanyue took Long Ran Baoju and Meng Ni Dabian Kai met, and the three of them left the camp wearing ordinary clothes, and rode their horses towards Yangguan City...

And here, after reading the bamboo slips presented by Lin Wanyue, Li Mu repeatedly stroked his beard and nodded.

Li Mu put the bamboo slips in the wooden box behind him, called the adjutant, and told the whole army to pack up their belongings, and to pull out the camp early tomorrow morning and retreat to Yangguan City!

That day, after night fell...

On the mountain not more than ten miles away from Li Mu's military camp, Hai Dongqing's cry pierced the silent mountain forest, and a Hai Dongqing flapped its wings and flew straight into the sky, taking advantage of the night and quickly disappeared in midair, flying towards the south...
