Chapter 12 Roadblock

After nightfall, snoring sounds came from the tent.

Shen Yu couldn't sleep, and repeatedly pondered what happened in her previous life.

In her memory, the express message sent back to Shengjing was like this.

[On October 27, Shen Zhao led his troops to raid the Xijue camp and was trapped. Shen Zhongan led the remaining soldiers to rescue. The military supervisor failed to persuade him, and Shen Zhongan pursued them recklessly and was tricked, burying all 100,000 troops outside the pass. ]

The military report was very vague. No one knew what happened on the front line, because only a few of the 100,000 people survived.

She felt strange in her previous life. She knew her father. He was the most cautious person. The word "reckless" was really not appropriate for him.

However, she didn't go to the court and was isolated from the news. Only after marrying Jiang Lian did she get some news from him. There might be a ghost in that battle.

There were 100,000 soldiers, and someone had to bear the blame for the battle. Regardless of whether there were any doubts, Shen Zhongan was the best candidate for the culprit.

Shen Yu took the initiative to deliver things between the tents during the day, and took the opportunity to get a thorough understanding of the layout of the camp. Except for the heavily guarded grain and grass, no abnormalities were detected in other places for the time being.

Judging from the current situation alone, she could not find any clues of defeat.

The current situation in Yanliang Pass made her bump around like a headless fly. Wherever she bumped into, she would see if she could keep a hand to be prepared. In the meantime, she sneaked out of the camp and met a few people in the city.

At night, the temperature dropped sharply, and a north wind came again. The wind was like a knife, blowing people's cheeks painfully.

A horse approached the camp at a high speed, and the scout galloped on the horse. When he was close to the gate of the camp, he raised the token in his hand, "Urgent report!"

The gatekeeper checked the token and let people in. The scout did not get off the horse and ran straight to the main tent.

"General! Urgent report!"

Shen Zhongan was sleeping restlessly, and he turned over when he heard the voice, "Come in."

The scout knelt on one knee after entering the door, "General, the team that went to pick up the grain was wiped out, and there was no sign of the baggage team."

Shen Zhongan's face was gloomy, he picked up the cloak and put it on, and said, "Let Shen Zhao come to my tent."

Shen Zhao had just climbed out of bed, and the person who called him didn't dare to say anything. He only heard Shen Zhongan talk about this after entering the tent.

Shen Zhongan said: "The team that picked up the grain was not large, and it seemed that they were robbed and killed by bandits."

Shen Zhao shook his head, "The team that picked up the grain didn't bring anything. Bandits wouldn't do such a thankless job. I'm afraid someone framed them."

The two looked at each other and saw dangerous signals in each other's eyes.

Shen Zhao rubbed his face hard to refresh himself, and said: "We must fight quickly before the remaining grain is exhausted. I'm afraid we have to use the second plan."

Shen Zhongan nodded and summoned the generals to the tent to discuss overnight.

In the evening, Yang Bang retreated into the tent.

"This wind is like a knife on my body, it's better to just let it snow."

You Dazui replied, "It won't snow. They are mobilizing troops over there. They are probably going to do something."

Shen Yu has been paying attention to the movements of the military camp, but she has not found any signs of troops being dispatched. And today is only the 25th, isn't that two days earlier than in the previous life?

She grabbed You Dazui, "What did you say? How did you know?"

You Dazui was startled, "Hush, don't tell anyone. I have a fellow villager in the vanguard camp. I told him when I met him before."

Shen Yu didn't ask any more questions, and she lifted the tent and went out.

You Dazui shouted from behind, "Don't tell anyone."

Shen Yu was quiet in the wind for a while, and was sobered up by the wind. She knew that this would not work. Regardless of whether things would develop along the original route, she had to alert Shen Zhao in advance.

Shen Zhao came out of the main tent and walked towards his own tent. On the way, he thought about the layout of this battle. When he approached the tent, he glanced casually, took two steps, and then suddenly froze, looking in one direction in disbelief.

The sky gradually darkened, and people could not be seen clearly five meters away.

Shen Zhao took a torch from the door and walked towards the person over there. The closer he got, the darker his face became.

When he walked in front of the person, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Shen Zhao's chest rose and fell a few times, and he raised his hand on the knife and pointed at the person twice, "Get in here!"

Shen Yu lowered her head and followed Shen Zhao into the tent in a dejected manner.

As soon as Shen Zhao entered the tent, he threw his sword on the table, turned around and looked at Shen Yu, "You are so capable, you are wearing a military uniform, where did you steal it?"

"I took it off the deserter." Shen Yu whispered.

Shen Zhao strode over, wiped the black dirt on her face with his sleeve, and scolded: "Look at what you have done to yourself?!"

Shen Yu's cheek was so painful from being wiped, and she pushed his hand away, saying solemnly: "Brother, don't be in a hurry to scold me, I have more important things to say now."

Shen Zhao knew her very well. Although she was a joker, she never messed around with big things.

"What's the matter?"

"Are you going to raid the Xijue camp tonight?"

Shen Zhao's eyes suddenly sank, staring at her for a long time before asking: "How did you know?"

"I don't have time to explain to you now," Shen Yu said, "but not tonight."

Shen Zhao turned around and sat on the table to think about it, and shook his head after a while, "Time is running out. We don't have time to waste with the Xijue people anymore. It's going to snow soon. Our war horses are not cold-resistant. The Xijue people are better at fighting in the snow than us, and..."

He didn't continue.

Shen Yu approached, "Is the food and grass running out?"

Shen Zhao raised his head, Shen Yu ignored the doubt in his eyes and continued: "I have been in the camp for a few days, and I have been paying attention to the movements in the camp. The subsequent supplies have not kept up."

Shen Zhao said solemnly: "Except for the first batch, the subsequent food and grass are borrowed from Ganzhou Prefecture. There is no surplus food in the city."

Shen Yu nodded and asked: "How long can the food and grass last?"

"Two days."

Shen Yu said: "There are several small cities in Ganzhou, and further south is Changdu Prefecture. We can transport food from there."

"You say it easily," Shen Zhao added some water to the pot on the stove in the tent, "Where does the food come from? I borrowed the food from Ganzhou Prefecture with an IOU , they understand the principle of losing one's teeth and lips, so we have to lend them money. However, if we go to another city, they may not give us face. Besides, there is no granary in Changdu Prefecture, which cannot support such a large expenditure. "

"We don't borrow from the government," Shen Yu's eyes were illuminated by the firelight, "Lu's business is all over Da Zhou, and there are many rice and grain stores. We can borrow from Hezhou's grandmother.

Shen Zhao's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed.

He shook his head and said, "It's too late. Even if we rush to Hezhou without stopping now, it will take at least ten days. In addition to the requisition of food, it will take at least half a month. We can't hold on for that long."

"Five days, just five more days," Shen Yu said, "I asked Lu Yao to go to Hezhou four days ago. I rode my Benxiao, and I think I can reach Hezhou in four or five days. "

"I have also made arrangements for Hongqiao. She has already rushed to Changdu Prefecture with my token and ordered them to start preparing food. As long as the food from Changdu Prefecture arrives, it will be enough for us to survive for a few more days, and the food and grass from Hezhou will be sufficient."

When she said that she had sent Luyao to Hezhou, Shen Zhao's face showed a look of surprise.

"How did you know this in advance?"
