The fierce fighting at the Jambudvipa border with the Western Niuhe Continent has lasted for more than three months. The Great Tang army's rations are about to be exhausted, but the follow-up ration shipments have yet to arrive.
After a day of hard fighting, the soldiers could only drink some porridge and pull a few mouthfuls of wild vegetables.
This is a far cry from the days when the war started just a few months ago when I could still eat a few bites of meat.
How can you have the strength to fight if you don't have enough to eat?
Not to mention the mortal soldiers, even those Demon Race soldiers who had joined Great Tang felt that they were not strong enough at this moment.
What's more, we have to fight fiercely with those Arhat and Bodhisattva!
How can you cheer up when you have nothing to eat?
Great Tang's army is already weak.
After a day and night of fierce fighting yesterday, An Lushan and Shi Siming reorganized their army.
"Brother, I see that the army's morale is weak and complaints are accumulating rapidly. Is it time to adjust our strategy?"
Shi Siming stood with his hands behind his hands and looked away from the military situation map.
"You mean, it's time for us to close the net?"
An Lushan glanced at the sand table and responded with a smile.
"Well, it's time."
Shi Siming grinned and said, "Before March, the people's hearts and minds in Great Tang's territory had begun to waver. Under the continuous fierce fighting, the population has dropped sharply, the people's hearts and minds are in chaos, and the economy is in decline.
In order to protect the army from fighting, Li Longji continued to increase taxes and force military service. This Human Emperor's popularity among the people has been rapidly lost.
If we close the network and Asura Clan moves within the territory of Great Tang...
Hehe!
Great Tang Overnight, there will be smoke everywhere!"
"Well, it's time, but we have to find a name."
An Lushan smiled slightly, touched his big belly, and said with sharp eyes, "I want to let the world know that this closing of the net is not because we are disloyal, but because we have to do it!"
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Shi Siming's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect that An Lushan had another trick up his sleeve.
"Quietly send a wild boar to Li Linfu's hunting team."
An Lushan A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
???
Send a wild boar?
Hearing this, Shi Siming was startled, and then took a breath of air!
Unable to help, Shi Siming gave An Lushan a thumbs up and praised, "Brother, this move is wonderful!"
"That old guy couldn't stand the hardships of the military camp. Not only did he withhold military rations privately, but he also secretly sent people to hunt and eat hot and spicy food. He also raped civilian girls to serve him. He thought that the commander didn't know about it."
An Lushan snorted coldly, with a murderous look in his eyes, and said, "Huh, let me borrow his head for today!"
Shi Siming chuckled, "I'll make arrangements right away!"
Subsequently, Shi Siming used Secret Art to leave the military tent.
The army had been reorganizing for a day, and their fatigue improved slightly, and it was soon time for dinner again.
Each soldier still only received a bowl of porridge, which was the same as water, and a small spoonful of unknown wild vegetables that had no salty taste.
There are also one or two weeds among the wild vegetables.
"Hey, my food is getting worse and worse. How is this different from boiled water?"
In the general camp, a former military general Li Guiren looked at the bowl in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
On the side, An Shouzhong, a member of the An Lushan tribe and the vanguard general of the army, also looked at the bowl in his hand and said after a moment of silence.
"General Li, be careful!"
"As generals, you should know that such remarks by a general will definitely shake the morale of the army and is a taboo in the army!"
An Shouzhong Of course also knows that now even the generals like them are eating porridge. It can be imagined to what extent the military rations are in a pinch.
It's just that the grain and grass transportation channel was secretly blocked by Western Teachings Faction people, hindering the speed, but there was nothing we could do.
Several generals heard this and although they were dissatisfied, they said no more.
But before he finished drinking the porridge and water in the bowl, a sudden smell of meat drifted into the tent on the wind.
Sniff sniff sniff~~
Smelling the aroma of meat, Li Guiren couldn't help but sniff it, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Huh? It smells so good. Where does the smell of meat come from?"
Li Guiren was surprised.
On the main seat of the camp, An Shouzhong also sniffed.
"Oops!"
An Shouzhong frowned, his heart was shocked, his face changed drastically and he shouted in shock, and he jumped up.
This is indeed meaty!
What the hell!
Who, who is eating meat?!
The army fought fiercely to the death Western Teachings, resulting in countless casualties, and even the seriously injured were not given a piece of meat to eat!
Even a pioneer general like An Shouzhong can't even get a bite of meat!
Where does this meaty aroma come from?!
The soldiers in the army were already exhausted from the brutal fighting that continued to exhaust them, and even complained.
If it weren't for the big dream of Human Race's rise, for the big dream of Human Emperor, for the big dream of unifying Primordial Continent Mortal Realm, supported by this belief, I'm afraid this team would have to break up!
Nowadays, some people are actually eating meat!
Hiss!
An Shouzhong took a deep breath and felt his scalp numb!
Several generals also heard this and their expressions changed drastically.
Sure enough, there was a commotion outside the camp.
"It smells so good!"
"Meat? Who is eating meat!"
"It's the fragrance coming from over there, go over and have a look!"
When the officers and soldiers smelled the fragrant meat, they all became commotion.
One by one, they held their bowls and walked towards the smell of meat.
The aroma spread farther and farther, and the movement became louder and louder. Many people heard that someone was eating meat, and they all joined the team and followed the direction of the meat aroma.
"Supervisory Army Camp!"
"It's over there Supervisory Army Camp!"
Not far from where the smell of meat came from, some soldiers immediately shouted out.
When the soldiers saw this place, they became even more angry.
"The commander is here, please stand down!"
A loud shout came, and all the soldiers were shocked to make way for them.
It's An Lushan, Shi Siming is here.
"What do you want to do when you gather here?"
An Lushan's face was solemn and majestic. "Disperse quickly!"
The commander was majestic and very coercive, so the soldiers naturally did not dare to disobey him.
However, the fierce fighting has lasted for more than a month, which one is not a wild vegetable to eat?
But now, Supervisory Army Camp has the smell of meat!
"Commander, we didn't gather here intentionally, but the fact is, the smell of this meat is so tempting!"
A soldier stood up, saluted and said, "My brothers and I are fighting bravely on the front line, throwing our heads and blood, but we can't even get a mouthful of food, and the supervisors don't even have to go to the front line, but they are here to eat and drink spicy food!"
Marshal, do you think this is right?"
The supervisors don't even go to the battlefield, but they still eat meat!
This is the most irritating!
"That's right, handsome!"
For a time, there were many people responding, and everyone was excited.
"The commander will find out on his own, so you can retreat!"
An Lushan's serious face and unquestionable tone made the surrounding soldiers retreat.
"Commander! Please forgive us for disobeying us. We must give an explanation to Supervisory Army Camp today!"
Some soldiers were unhappy.
"That's right, Marshal! There must be an explanation!"
There are still many followers.
"Give me an explanation?"
An Lushan's face darkened, he looked at Supervisory Army Camp, and then at the soldiers who were in a circle, ragged, gray-headed, exhausted, and excited, and finally nodded.
"Okay, then you, you, you, a few of you, take a dozen people and go in to ask for clarification. The others are waiting outside!"
"I will use Secret Art to project the scene in the camp on the dark night sky above the camp to let everyone know about it! This matter is definitely not what you think."
"Supervisor Li Linfu Prime Minister Li always serves the country and the people. This commander-in-chief believes in him."
An Lushan selected a few generals and asked them to go in and ask.
This is what An Lushan is like Gao Ming.
You say you believe it, and then you project the sky screen!
"Okay, brothers, let's go!"
The general took a dozen people and went in.
Supervisory Army Camp.
At this moment, Li Linfu is preparing to drink.
"It's rare, it's rare. After eating pheasants for a few days, I was almost tired of eating them. Today I finally shot a wild boar!"
Li Linfu looked at the wild boar meat on the table, not to mention how happy he was.
This large table of dishes includes not only wild boar meat, but also hare meat, various delicacies, and no less than ten dishes.
And these are all enjoyed by Li Linfu alone.
Usually, his food is so good, so why is there no aroma wafting out?
There is no other reason, just because the formation is set up to prevent the fragrance from wafting out.
It's just that the secret of this formation today has been broken!
And Li Linfu doesn't know this yet!
"Good wine, good wine, this is life!"
Li Linfu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He couldn't help praising and sighing.
After fighting for such a long time, he has lost eight ounces of weight. He has really suffered.
Wow!
Suddenly, the tent curtain was pushed open violently, and a group of people rushed in.
Seeing these disgraced people, Li Linfu's expression changed, he stood up suddenly, and shouted, "How dare you, who dare to break into the Prime Minister's camp without permission! Come and capture all these people!"
