The Human Emperor

Chapter 514: Hidden Concerns! Food!

Hundreds of miles after coming down from the mountain peak, Wang Chong and others quickly encountered the second Tang army that came to support him. This Tang army leader was Xu Jun 'an, an old general in the army. When the two armies were united, Wang Zheng's men burst from more than 5,000 to more than 11,000.

This is the first time Wang Chong has more than 10,000 horses in his hands. Though it seemed like only 3,000 more, the difference was a thousand miles. For the top generals, General Han Xin is more beneficial and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are under his command, which makes the operation completely different. With these 11,000 troops, there is much more room for redeployment and leverage for Wang Chong.

Wang Chung faced a Tibetan general like Baqicheng, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses could easily beat the remaining 6,000 horses with a small number of casualties, which would be easier.

The next battle is easier!

Without Ba Qicheng, and without landing Yang Dalu, the remaining Us Tibetan horse was easily annihilated by Wang Chung with twice his strength.

The war took place faster than the first battle, but only one hour later, the battle was over.

……

“My lord, my men left early! ”

At the end of the war, Li Jiye's heart was not at all relaxed. The battle between Wang and them is over, but his battle has just begun. But even Li Jiye was confused about what he was going to do next.

“Well, go. The next thing is none of your business. ”

Wang Chung sat on the horse, nodded his head, his face without a wave. On him, Li Jiye did not see a bit of hesitation. He always seemed to know what he was doing and doing. On him, Li Jiye did not see a bit of confusion. This gave Li Jiye more or less confidence in the operation.

“I'll give you this sachet! ”

Wang Chung removed a bag from his waist. From the knot on the bag, the bag seemed to be ready long ago.

“You go this time, and if the operation succeeds, the Us Tibetans will surely send troops against you. Whatever you do, remember, don't be greedy, don't be cheerful. Everything I have said on the sachet is clear, you must strictly follow the notes in the sachet! ”

Speaking of which, Wang Chong's color is incredibly heavy.

Wang Zhong has always respected Li Jiye. But that's why, when Wang Zheng is serious, it's particularly impressive.

“Yes, subordinates understand! ”

Li Jiye deeply looked at Wang Chong and quickly took the bag from Wang Chong's hand. He bowed his head and respectfully performed a military ceremony.

“Don't worry, I will do my job strictly no matter what! - Let's go! ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Li Jiye waved, led more than a thousand fine riders, fully armed and swept away. Behind him, there was also a strong smell of blood.

“Young Master...”

And further afield, Captain Xu, Zhao Jingsheng, the eagle looked at Li Jiye's departure from the shadow, his eyes revealed confusion. Li Jiye's mission this time is very mysterious, and the course of action is completely different from everyone else's. No one knows where Li Jiye is going except Wang Zhongyi.

This is really confusing, but despite this, no one dares to question Wang Chong's decision.

Wang Chong's reputation in the army has reached the point where Xu Shiping is difficult and difficult. Just Wang Zhong said a word, I'm afraid that Xu Shiping's subordinates, without saying anything, would immediately go with him, even Xu Shiping couldn't stop it. It's not that they're not loyal enough or anything, but that Wang used his strength to win three victories and win the heartfelt support of everyone.

By this time, no one cares about Wang Chong's age, surname, birth, even without the Song Wang's token, absolutely no one will disobey his orders.

- Wang Chong has won the command of this army with absolute strength!

“Let's go, big army! ”

There was no time to feel the serious impact of Li Jiaye's departure on the strength of the army. After cleaning up the battlefield, Wang shouted and led the army to the south. After this victory, Wang Chong's journey south finally cleared all obstacles. There is no more barrier between Wang Chong and Annan Du Guards.

Time is running out, this time Wang Chong no longer stops.

“Is it convenient for you, My Lord? ”

The road down south was boring and lonely, and when Wang rushed to the horse to think alone, a sound like an ant suddenly appeared in his ear. Captain Xu An riding pure horse, when no one noticed, quietly, pretended to lean over inadvertently. Xu An is purely a matter of heartfelt respect for the teenager around him.

Although he has been with each other for a short time, and I'm afraid he is only as old as his own child, Xu Anzheng dared not think of him as a child at all, but obeyed him with pleasure and thought of him as the true commander of this army. But that's why Xu Anjin felt compelled to say something.

“… some things my subordinates would like to say to adults. ”

“Captain Xu, what's wrong? ”

Wang rushed back and was somewhat surprised. Xu Anjin concealed herself when she spoke, and her eyebrows seemed worried and full of worry.

“My lord, with all due respect, there's one thing I've been thinking about for a long time, I have to say. My subordinates believe that our biggest problem right now is not Us Tibet, but, … food!! ”

Xu 'an squeaked for a long time and finally spit out the last four words. This was followed by a long period of silence.

“Go on! ”

Wang Chong finally recovered, but didn't say anything, just passing a glance.

“My lord, if you don't show up, we won't last long without Us Tibetans attacking. I don't know if Xu Shiping told you, but they are definitely not much better off than we are. Five or six thousand men eat horse chew, which is not a decimal number. Although we are warlords and we are fearless, logistics is not our director at all. And...”

Xu 'an looked at Wang Chung and hesitated for a moment. He bit his teeth and said:

“Before that battle, my subordinates accidentally listened to General Li. The Annandu Guard had asked for help from the court, and I'm afraid their food wouldn't last long! The soldiers have not moved, the grass is ahead, we only have more than 10,000 people, but I'm afraid there are so many guards from Annan Du in the southwest..."

Xu Anjin did not go on, but the apprehension in his eyes was already obvious. As for the army's food, he had long noticed that it had not been said because he was afraid to shake the heart of the army.

“In the war against the Us Tibetans, we lost too much weight and too many weapons, and the food was almost burned by the Us Tibetans. We only have enough food for a few days. If the grownups hadn't shown up, we'd be ready to go back north. But now, I'm not against adults. But in our current situation, whether we meet Us Tibetans or not, we're probably dead! ”

At the end of the sentence, Xu 'an was caught in a long silence.

“The Emperor is not a bad starving soldier”. Though powerful, the warrior is mortal after all. He must also eat five grains of grain. If the army does not eat enough, it is good to play five or six points with great strength, let alone fight. It's totally suicide. Xu An Jun didn't want to say it, but as a lieutenant general, he had to say these things.

The Us Tibetans are second only, but this is an urgent matter that has to be considered.

“You don't have to worry about these things! ”

Unexpectedly, when Xu An Chun had the courage to say something that would obviously affect the heart of the military, Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said something unexpected:

“It's just some food, so you don't have to worry, I got it! ”

“But my lord, even now it is too late to ask for food from the court. The sky is high and the emperor is too far away. Moreover, the grain harvest requires cooperation between the six ministries to collect grain from all parts of Datang. The whole process is time-consuming and painstaking, and the distant water will not save the near fire! ”

Xu 'an's worries grew deeper and deeper. Looking at Wang Chung's face, he obviously didn't listen to what he had to say, which worried him more than the lack of food in the army. “The people feed on the heavens, so does the army”, and if the problem is not addressed, the army will be mutilated.

“My lord, this must be done with caution! ”

Xu 'an is truly burning inside the five.

He couldn't figure it out, he had made it so clear. Why is Wang Chong still so tired?

“Rest assured, distant water will not save near thirst, but it is not the same nearby! I started sending food when I was in Beijing. Don't worry, after so long, it's almost time. ”

Wang Zhongmonkey's arm shrugged and patted Xu 'an's pure shoulder, smiling.

Though only a faint sentence, Wang Zhong revealed a strong confidence, seemed to be running smoothly, nothing could escape his calculations. Even Xu 'an couldn't help but hold on for a moment. Tens of thousands of people eat, which is definitely not a small thing. In the battle for the southwest, the court will need to prepare at least one month's rations.

It's definitely not a small thing. Not four or five months won't do it at all. It'll take two or three months at the earliest. Xu 'an couldn't think of anything. Where did Wang Chong get the food? It's not a matter of money, it's such a big mouth, it's by no means any food dealer, or family can solve it.

Even those who are traders and specialize in food trafficking need to be prepared for a long time. And that's definitely not going to happen.

Xu An Jun's mouth moved and wanted to ask what else.

But Wang slapped him on the shoulder, but he had grown.

“Running, winning a thousand miles”, that's the point of military law. How could Wang Chong make a mistake on a food issue like this? He may not be able to do what the court is unable to do, despite the magnitude of the military food.

“Zhang Munian, people can rely on you for this aspect! ”

Wang punched darkly, and there was an electric light in his mind.
