Chapter 158
When the weather turned hot, the supplies from Xizhou were finally delivered to Shannan County.
At that time, Xun Ling had secretly reached a cooperation with Duan Yingxiong, and accepted the support of the beggar army. Including the borrowed Yizhou army, the Yongzhou army suddenly expanded into a [-]-man army because of the addition of [-] militiamen. army.
But at the same time, the rations, which were still relatively abundant, suddenly became tense.
It is not so easy to support the army. The food they exchanged from Yizhou for military expenses can last for half a month at most. Once the food is exhausted, they can only forcefully collect food from the people.
The county of Nandi County in Yongzhou was protected by the old general Xun with his life. Now it is harassed by the war, and the people's life is already suffering. Unless it is a last resort, no one wants to go to this step.
Xun Ling had been anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Xunzhou grain transportation team, in case something went wrong on the way, he even sent a light cavalry to meet the escort.
As long as the food sent by Xunzhou is enough for them to last another half a month until the wheat harvest in the south of Yongzhou, the army's food and grass plight can be temporarily resolved.
However, because the north of Yongzhou was occupied by the Xiongnu, grain trucks had to detour through Yizhou to send in, so the trip had to be extended for several days.
But at any rate, before the warehouse ran out of food and grass, the food transportation team finally arrived smoothly.
On the day the supplies were delivered, Xun Ling went to meet them outside the city in person.
Xun Ling and other officers were dumbfounded when they saw the magnificent line of grain carts lined up outside the city gate.
Each of those wide grain carts is piled high with supplies, covered with army green tents, and tightly wrapped with ropes around them, giving people a sense of solidity and rigor.
"There are so many!" Lu Xian couldn't help sighing, looked at the grain convoy, then at Xun Ling, and said to him: "Jiang Shishi is really extraordinarily generous to you, Major General!"
Although it was borrowed food, everyone knew that given the current situation in Yongzhou, the borrowed food would not be returned in a short time. Jiang Shu should also know about this, but he was still the first to receive the letter. It was time to send so many supplies that everyone was shocked.
Xun Ling heard what he meant, and turned his head to warn: "Jiang Cishi is kind and gentle, and treats friends generously. Don't misunderstand others."
"Yes, I know." Lu Xian smiled, and said righteously: "Before he led troops to help him from afar, I knew that he was a man of integrity and discernment. He is a rare benevolent man in this troubled world. !"
Just as he was talking about this, Qin Lang brought a man over to hand over the supplies, and saluted with fists cupped, "Qin Lang has seen General Xun and General Lu."
When Jiang Shu led troops to support Yongzhou earlier, Qin Lang was with him. Both of them had seen him before, so they didn't feel strange.
Lu Xian asked directly: "Are these all food?"
"Not all, there are a batch of special weapons inside." Qin Lang replied meticulously.
Xun Ling raised his eyebrows: "Special weapons?"
Qin Lang nodded, then stepped aside to let the person behind him go, and introduced: "This is Mr. Zifang's student. He is in charge of controlling the batch of special weapons. If you want to know anything, the general, you can ask him."
The man showed a simple and honest smile, and bowed his hands a little cautiously: "I'm Han Chun, I've seen the two generals."
Xun Ling sized up the short man with a bushy beard, and asked, "Is this a disciple of Mr. Zifang?"
"I can't be called a disciple, but I just worked in the weapon workshop and received some teaching from Mr. Zifang." Han Chun said frankly and modestly.
Xun Ling nodded, and didn't ask him about the weapons immediately, but turned his head and ordered his subordinates to count the grain and put it in the warehouse, and then said to Qin Lang and the two: "Let's go in and talk about it."

After returning to the county government, Xun Ling specially summoned everyone to the main hall of the government office, and invited Duan Yingxiong and General Sun Cheng who had led the Yizhou Army to support them.
Now that the problem of food and grass has been resolved, the siege strategy can be discussed next.
In recent days, due to the sudden increase in Yongzhou's army, the Xiongnu in Nanzhe City have obviously become anxious, and have repeatedly sent troops to investigate near Deng County.
"After being quiet for a whole winter, I'm afraid Lan Gujian can't hold back any longer." Xun Ling said calmly after taking his seat.
"Then let's fuck him." Duan Yingxiong responded immediately, his tone very excited.
Because in the past, the opponent of the begging army has always been the imperial army, and the game stipulates that NPCs of the same camp cannot be attacked. Just in case, Duan Yingxiong has never been on the battlefield and will always be behind the scenes. This time, he can finally fight the Xiongnu himself up.
Xun Ling glanced at him. Before, Hua Xin told him to be wary of Duan Yingxiong's ambitions, but after getting in touch with him, he found that the other party not only had no city, but was outspoken and honest.
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, people in the world are scheming a lot, and for the sake of fame and wealth, they have exhausted all the organs. Such a straightforward and righteous disposition is rare. This may be the reason why the other party can become the leader of the peasants.
Sun Chengdao: "Now we have an army of [-], sufficient food and grass, and no worries about the future. Even if we don't have a single soldier, we can capture Nanzhe just by using the strategy of besieging the city."
"No." Lu Xian and Xun Ling said at the same time.
Xun Ling added: "There are many people in the city. Besieging the city and cutting off the food roads may make the Huns surrender, but the casualties of the people will be even more serious."
Lu Xian said, "That's exactly the reason."
After being refuted one after another, an awkward wry smile appeared on Sun Cheng's face, and he said hastily: "General Xun's words are reasonable, it's because I lacked consideration."
"By the way," Xun Ling looked at Qin Lang and the two who had been silent all this time, and asked, "What are those special weapons sent by Xunzhou?"
Hearing this, Han Chun glanced at Qin Lang, then stood up and replied, "Your Majesty was worried that Nanzhe City would be strong and hard to conquer, so he ordered me to bring a load of explosives."
"Fuck? Dynamite?" Duan Yingxiong suddenly straightened his back and opened his eyes wide, "No way, is it the one I thought? The one that will explode?"
"Ah."
"Damn it, it's amazing!"
The rest of the people had never heard of "dynamite". Seeing Duan Yingxiong's excitement, they thought they were ignorant.
Liu Ye asked, "What is this explosive?"
"It is an extremely destructive weapon. When detonated, it can instantly generate a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which will have a huge impact on the surrounding area." Han Chun introduced, his eyes fell on Xun Ling, and he said calmly: "General Xun Do you still remember the Battle of Bailanxing?"
"nature."
"In the Battle of Bailanxing, the infantry general led [-] troops to stop [-] enemy troops, and finally retreated without any casualties. It was thanks to this thing."
Hua Xin and Xun Ling looked at each other, and Xun Ling reacted immediately, frowned and asked, "Could it be that the landslide was caused by man-made explosives?"
Han Chun nodded vigorously, confirming his guess.
Xun Ling was stunned. He did doubt whether the landslide that intercepted the Huns' reinforcements was really an accident, because the timing was so coincidental that such a severe disaster happened just as the Huns' army passed by.
But Bu Jingyun gave a reasonable explanation, saying that because of the loose soil in that mountain range, they ambushed and pushed the falling rocks, which indirectly caused the landslide.
Xun Ling couldn't think of anything that could cause the mountain to collapse, so he agreed with Bu Jingyun's explanation, never thinking that there was something hidden in it.
"The newly made explosives have been improved by Mr. Zifang. They are more powerful and dangerous than those used in the Battle of Bailanxing. Please use them with caution to prevent accidental injury." Han Chun reminded.
"If there is something that can cause landslides and landslides, wouldn't it be able to directly break open the city gate?" Hua Xin said.
Duan Yingxiong rolled his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Yes, it is possible, but if you blow up the city gate, it will be expensive to repair it later, right?"
Lu Xian and the others had never experienced the Battle of Bailanxing. They heard Hua Xin describe the power of the weapon with the words "landslides and ground cracks". What is the effect when it is used.
Sun Cheng frowned and asked, "Is there really such a terrifying thing?"
Lu Mi squeezed his chin and asked, "The power is so powerful, where can it be used?"
Liu Ye said: "If it really can make the ground crack, wouldn't it cause an earthquake? I'm afraid it will accidentally hurt the people in the city."
Hearing what each of them said, each with their own worries, Han Chun explained: "Everyone is worrying too much. Explosives can indeed cause landslides, but it is only after precise calculations that a sufficient amount of explosives can cause such a bang. We only brought in one load of explosives, and if they were used separately, one explosive pack would at most flatten a house, and it would not shake the ground."
Liu Ye took a deep breath: "It's scary enough to raze a house."
Lu Xian didn't know what to think of, and suddenly said angrily: "Then I will ask to leave a piece of explosives to burn Kong's house to the ground!"
When the Kong family was mentioned, the hall suddenly fell into silence, as if everyone recalled the more than 1000 defenders who were killed by poison in an instant.
After contemplating for a while, Xun Ling broke the silence: "If you can know the enemy's city defense deployment, detonate explosives in densely guarded areas, and then take the opportunity to attack the city, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Eh? Great idea!" Duan Yingxiong's eyes lit up.
I wanted to suggest that my own people be responsible for detonating the explosives. After all, he still has more than a dozen players under his command. If he fails to escape in time after igniting the fuse, it doesn't matter if he is killed.
At this time, I heard Han Chun say: "The envoy also thinks the same way. He ordered me to inform the general that he has used a key chess piece lurking in the Huns' camp. It is estimated that the spy will get it with the general in a short time." connect."
Xun Ling raised his eyebrows. The difficulty of the plan he had in mind was how to obtain the enemy's city defense information and how to send explosives into the city.
If there are spies to help, this plan can be implemented smoothly.
Just in this way, Jiang Shu owed Jiang Shu another big favor.
Xun Ling rubbed his forehead, that's all, Lu Mian was right, since the favor is owed, there is no need to worry.

Nanzhe City, the former governor's mansion.
At dusk, the unlit room is shrouded in the dim light of the sunset.
Yin Yunying stuffed the city defense map into an envelope, handed it to the maid beside her, looked at her and said, "Give it to General Xun, be careful."
"Your maidservant knows, Madam, please rest assured." The maid replied softly, took the letter and hid it in her skirt, bowed her head and saluted, and slowly exited the door.
Until the back of the maid disappeared completely, Yin Yunying kept staring at the green name on her head, making sure that there was no change, and then she looked away.
Since the Xiongnu captured Nanzhe City, he accompanied Huyan Manman to settle in the city.
During this period of time, he has not been idle. He has saved many Han people who were almost killed by the Huns, and he has also helped many women in the city from being killed by the Huns. Became his confidant and helped him complete some espionage missions.
But even though she tried her best to find fun for herself, Yin Yunying was really tired of playing the role of the Xiongnu prince's concubine.
He has already completed the main task given by the game, and the reason why he hasn't left is because he didn't find a suitable time.
At any rate, he has played this role for two years. Yin Yunying has never acted in such a long play, and has never been so devoted to a role. He has a special affection for the role of "Ying'er". It is also necessary to give "Ying'er" a vigorous ending worthy of her.
——So far, he has been able to insist on logging in to the game every day, which is all supported by this belief.
And now, that time is about to come.
Yin Yunying raised the corners of her lips slightly, got up and sat in front of the window, facing the bronze mirror on the table, and touched up her makeup with the cosmetics Huyan Manman gave him.
After a while, he sat up straight and began to stare at the woman's appearance in the mirror.
The window shone in the light of evening sunset, bright red, covering the face in the mirror with a light red veil.
That trace of light blush stained the woman's eyes and nose, which made the already gentle and demure makeup even more mournful and moving.
"I want you to doubt me, hate me, appreciate me, love me, and then remember me forever..."
Thinking that he will be in the last scene in a short time, he couldn't help crying.
