Chapter 1419 Transporting grain to the mountains

Facts have proved that Chang Sunze's strategy is very useful. This guy faked a letter and made the entire Vietnamese court suspicious. No matter what he does in the future, he must first find out the person. After all, their supplies are relatively precious now. If they fall into the hands of the Tang army again, it will be really painful.

Just like a person originally had 1 million in cash, then he didn't care much about the 10,000 yuan, but if he suddenly only had 100,000 yuan, then the meaning of the 10,000 yuan would be different. This is basically what Vietnam is like now.

Of course, a new round of plundering work has begun. All the ministers in the hall that day have received their own tasks. Whether you are willing or not, the soldiers on the front line are still hungry, so you have to find ways to find food and grass around you. , even if you can’t be ruthless now, when the Tang army comes, do you think they won’t be ruthless either?

According to Vietnam.com's understanding, if the soldiers cannot eat, then their country will perish. If the people cannot eat, at most, a few people will starve to death. They can just wait until the country is strong before developing, but If the country is gone, then there will really be nothing left. Therefore, at this stage, there is no need to take care of the lives of the people. We should take care of the army first.

Of course, the most important thing is that these troops are very useful. According to what Wu Yuanhao said, and what the King of Vietnam himself heard from others, their army is really not idle in the old forest. And it brought a lot of trouble to the Tang army. They constantly attacked the military camps and transportation teams of the Datang army in the rear.

As long as this army continues to be active, the Tang army will not come to the south. If this army is killed, the Tang army will definitely have no worries. It is estimated that they will reach the Royal City of Vietnam in a few days. .

Every night when it was time to rest, the King of Vietnam could see such a terrifying scene. When a large group of Tang troops appeared in front of him, there might be no way out for him to survive, and he might also jump off his royal city.

Now Wu Yuanhao's army is like a life-saving straw. As long as these troops are still holding on on the front line, then that terrible scene will not happen. So even if a lot of people starve to death, he must put these 2 There is enough food for ten thousand people, but I can't transport too much the first time. Who knows if my previous investigation is correct? I have to wait until the investigation is confirmed before I can transport a large amount of food.

The team transporting food is actually very careful. Although they are still in Vietnam, they have also heard from soldiers returning from the front line that there are too many spies in the Tang Dynasty, including your companions. In fact, they cannot Believe it or not, how could Luo Cheng have fallen in such a short period of time without the cooperation of these spies?

This news made all the Vietnamese feel like there was a sharp sword hanging over their heads. Originally, the people around them were trustworthy, but after hearing this, they suddenly realized that these people around them might not be trustworthy. These people are really spies, what should we do? Therefore, some people also keep one eye open when sleeping, just to guard against their companions.

The convoy transporting food kept walking for nearly 5 days, and then it was close to the southern end of the old forest. The area of ​​​​this old forest is very large, about tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the northern end is in Luo. Outside the city, the southern end is right here.

"General, if they deliver the goods here, this old forest will be too big. We really don't know how to find their large group of people."

One of his men looked at the nearby location and said with some worry, if it was closer to Luocheng, then we could follow directly. If we follow now, no matter how good we are in training, we will not be able to compete with these locals. In comparison, we are still inferior in the old forest.

"Are you a little stupid? You thought of a way to get some crotons for those animals to eat. They pulled them over along the way. We can't follow too closely. If we follow too closely, we will be easily discovered by them."

Huo Qubing was not worried about this matter at all. After coming out of the Royal City of Vietnam, he found that this army was indeed very careful. Sometimes they only walked half a day every day, regardless of how their compatriots lived in the mountains and forests. The only thing is not to let others follow.

His subordinates did something as simple as patting themselves on the head, so why didn't they notice it? If we had thought of it earlier, we would not have to follow them so closely. We must know that the closer we follow, the greater the risk.

There are indeed people waiting here at the southern end of the old forest, but most of them are still at the northern end of the old forest. They come here purely to get food.

When we first entered the old forest, these carriages were still usable, but after walking for a while, the carriages were all abandoned beside the road, and all the food was put on the animals. This was the caravan of this era. .

Huo Qubing and his men continued to move forward, following the excrement of the animals. Fortunately, those people abandoned the carriage. If those people had also abandoned the animals, they might not have been able to find anything.

It took three days of walking in the old forest to find the Vietnamese army Huo Qubing. At this time, I was no longer worried. Even if I had to rush out from the royal city, it would still take 4 days, and then walk from the southern end of the old forest. Here, it takes another three days, and each transportation of food takes 7 days. This cycle is really long.

If the army in the mountains and forests still had some reserves, then these seven days would be nothing to them. But now the troops in the mountains and forests were so hungry that they were as thin as firewood. Huo Qubing could see very clearly from a distance. Many people already had maggots on their bodies, but these people were unwilling to move at all. It was obvious that their hostility had been exhausted.

"Check the information given to us by the Protector-General. Has anyone attacked our military camp and transportation team during this period?"

Huo Qubing, who was about 1 kilometer away, said in a low voice that in his opinion, these people should not be able to sneak attack our military camp. It is very difficult for these people to even stand up... (End of this chapter)
