Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 289
"Go and offer incense to General Shen. We'll talk about it later." Fang Zilan cut off Vice General Cao's words, and he nodded in response, and went straight into the mourning hall.

Fang Zilan stood outside and waited until Deputy General Cao came out, walked quickly to her side, and said in a low voice, "Boss, I'm afraid there is not enough food and grass in the army."

"Go back and talk." Fang Zilan's heart sank, and he took Deputy General Cao back to the big tent, where several other deputy generals were already waiting.

One of the lieutenants said: "Lord Fang, the Miluo people attacked too hard, let alone nearly half of the casualties in the night attack, although we won this battle today, we still lost hundreds of brothers."

"The Miluo people are martial arts, and their skills are not weak." Fang Zilan sighed softly, "How many people do we have?"

"Including the three thousand you brought, Mr. Fang, there are still less than 1 people." Another lieutenant general's expression darkened, "The defenders of Qiluo City were almost wiped out, and the people brought by General Shen were also killed." More than half..."

"What frustrating words!" Deputy General Cao slapped the other general, Fang Zilan raised his eyes and looked over, "Old Cao, just now you told me what happened to the food and grass?"

"I sent someone to count the grain and grass in the army, and it will last half a month at most." Deputy General Cao said cautiously, Fang Zilan raised his hand and frowned slightly, "I will send a letter back to Beijing later, please send the grain and grass from the imperial court. Old Cao, you can find A few people went to investigate the food storage situation of the people in the city, if it is absolutely necessary, we may have to ask the people in the city for food."

"Okay." Deputy General Cao took the order to leave, Fang Zilan greeted the remaining deputy generals, and said, "Mu Chuji and Jiang Hanze are both injured, and Murong Xun has not arrived yet, the Miluo people should be safe for a few days. These few days In addition to resting and recuperating, we also need to take good precautions, and we must not let the Miluo people take advantage of the loopholes."

After that, the Miluo people did not move for several days, and the grain and grass approved by the government were already on the way, and everything seemed to be calm.But for some reason, Fang Zilan always felt restless.

This day, she patrolled as usual, but suddenly she heard someone report that there was an important military situation, so she hurried back to the big tent and called all the lieutenants over.

A lieutenant general said: "Our military spies reported that Murong Xun had an old illness and he couldn't catch up for a while, so he secretly ordered someone to escort the food and grass to come here first."

"Sudden old illness?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Lang and said, "Vice General Zhou, I remember you told me that Murong Xun had a serious illness at the beginning of the year, do you know the specific situation?"

"I'm not very clear about this. I only heard that Prince Zhongzheng's mansion invited famous doctors from all over the world, and even invited Miluo priests. They found many ways to save Murong Xun's life." Zhou Lang said slowly: "Since then From now on, Murong Xun will live in seclusion, not even going to the morning court."

"Murong Xun is so seriously ill, why did the new Emperor Miluo let him lead the army?" Fang Zilan's expression was serious, Zhou Lang didn't speak, and a lieutenant next to him couldn't help but said: "Since Murong Xun is seriously ill, why don't we go halfway?" food for the Miluo people."

Fang Zilan raised her eyes and looked over, "Vice General Chen, you were the one who led the fire that day and night, are you sure you burned it all?"

"I can't guarantee that it will be completely burned." Deputy General Chen lowered his voice a little. There isn't much left."

Fang Zilan recalled that night, when she left the camp, she looked back and saw that the fire was so intense that it was impossible to save it.Thinking of this, she felt relieved, but she still did not agree with Deputy General Chen's idea of ​​robbing food and grass.

"Lord Fang, don't miss this opportunity. If we can cut off the supplies of food and grass for the Miluo people, we will definitely make them lose their feet." Deputy General Chen still did not give up, and persuaded: "When the imperial court reinforcements arrive, the Miluo people can be beaten back. gone."

"If transporting food in secret is a trap, Murong Xun didn't suddenly suffer from an old illness..." Fang Zilan didn't continue, and Deputy General Cao's expression froze, "Then aren't we going to lose many brothers in vain?"

"Send someone to investigate again." After Fang Zilan finished speaking, his eyes fell on Deputy General Chen, and he said coldly: "No one is allowed to move without my order, and those who violate the law will be punished by military law."

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, making Fang Zilan's heart go up and down, unable to control herself.

If the news is true, then God bless Dajing, this is an excellent opportunity for them to turn the tide of the battle.

But if the Miluo people deliberately spread false news, it would mean that the loss of troops would only increase the consumption, but she couldn't afford it.

At the beginning, it was said that Miluo City would be defended for a month, but now it is less than ten days.For the first time, she felt that living like this seemed like years.

"Report!" The messenger soldier's loud voice broke the silence in the tent, "There are tents in the Miluo army outside the city with white flags hanging."

Fang Zilan blurted out subconsciously: "What did you say?"

The messenger soldier repeated, "There are tents in the Miluo army outside the city with white flags hanging. Besides, Jiang Hanze is recuperating."

"Could it be that Mu Chuji died?" Fang Zilan's eyelids twitched, and Zhou Lang nodded, "It should be, according to Miluo's rules, if an ordinary general dies, he won't hang a white flag. And Jiang Hanze is going to reorganize the army at this time... "

Fang Zilan gritted her teeth and said, "He wants to avenge Mu Chuji."

"Lord Fang, if we confront the Miluo people head-on, we will have nothing to gain." Deputy General Chen stood up again at this time, "I voluntarily ask for my life to rob the Miluo people of food and grass."

On the other side, a lieutenant also agreed, "If the food and grass of the Miluo people are robbed, it will not only cut off their supplies, but also solve our food and grass crisis."

The other lieutenants also echoed: "Yes, although the imperial court's food and grass are on the way, but the area in the south has been in chaos recently, who knows if they can arrive on time?"

Fang Zilan raised her hand to signal the crowd to be quiet. She stared at Vice General Chen with a serious expression: "I'll give you 1000 people, and you go and plunder the Miluo people's food and grass. If you can't rob them, you'll burn them down."

"1000 people?" Vice General Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, and the other lieutenants couldn't help whispering.

"Do you know that if this is a trap of the Miluo people, neither 1000 people nor you can survive?" Fang Zilan's expression became colder, and Deputy General Chen pursed his lips, "Master Fang, 2000 people, I only need 2000 people..."

"500 people." Fang Zilan interrupted him coldly, "This is the most I can give."

Deputy General Chen took a deep breath, "The last general has taken orders, so let's go and order troops."

"Vice General Zhou, you have always acted prudently, go and watch over for Vice General Chen." After Fang Zilan made arrangements, everyone left their tents to work, leaving only Vice General Cao to stay in the tent.

"Boss, are you worried that the Miluo people will lie to us?" Deputy General Cao asked tentatively, and Fang Zilan sighed quietly: "Mu Chuji is still young, and although he has strategies, he is not cautious. Jiang Hanze is obviously watching him from the sidelines. I think Jiang Hanze didn't dare to joke about Mu Chuji's life and death, and lead us into the game, but I dare not bet."

Deputy General Cao opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and forced a smile, "Forget it, maybe God is on our side this time?"

However, things went against her wishes, God was not on her side this time, and on the third day after Vice General Chen led his troops to rob grain and grass, she received a big gift from the people of Miluo—Vice General Chen's head and a letter.

The letter read: There are 500 people in Dajing, and none of them survived.

The words and lines are full of frivolity and disdain, which makes Fang Zilan wish to tear the letter to pieces.And the last sentence of the letter is——sister, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?The signature is Mu Chuji.

"Boss..." Deputy General Cao looked at her extremely gloomy expression, and was about to say something when Zhou Lang rushed in in a panic, "Master Fang, it's not good, a large number of people are coming to Qiluo City !"

"Why are there a large number of people?" Deputy General Cao was shocked, and Zhou Lang said angrily, "It's Murong Xun! He slaughtered a city, and the people in other cities wanted to flee for their lives, and they were driven to death all the way..."

　Mu Chuji's plan was successful, Fang Zilan was placed in the same position, and the difficulty of defending the city increased again...
