In the evening, smoke rose from all the camps in the Sui Army camp of Xinfeng, and the troops were making fires to cook. Today, the Lord will come back to the Central Army to discuss matters and say that the government army will fight tomorrow, so there will be extra meals for dinner.

What other meals can I add? Don’t think about the meat, it’s just to add more corn and the cooked porridge will be thicker.

When marching and fighting, the main general relies on his troops, and then the veterans who can fight. The other soldiers just like that. They hold a spear to make up the numbers, eat the soup after winning the battle, and throw it to the pursuers as bait after losing the battle.

Staying up for a day is one day, which is what most ordinary soldiers think. Seeing that meal time is not yet here, everyone wipes weapons and armor in their respective tents.

As an official army near the capital, although the treatment is not much better, it is better than elsewhere. The swords, bows, arrows, spears, and crotch armor are all equipped. As today's energy begins to warm up, it doesn't feel cold when worn by half-new and old military uniforms.

There are wave arrows everywhere on the battlefield, so the crotch armor that protects the body is very important. Although the armor leaves are mostly rusted, they can at least block the arrows. Of course, if someone secretly secretly sells the armor leaves for money, it is because he is seeking death and no one else can blame him.

"Hey, after this collar crotch armor has been worn for a long time, the leather ropes strung with armor leaves have been severely worn. Now we need to check which leather ropes are almost broken, so we can replace them quickly."

One veteran is teaching another soldier's experience. The two are fellow villagers. One has been a soldier for more than ten years. The other is just over the age of the year and was recruited to serve in the military. The new recruit doesn't know anything, so he has to rely on people to give more tips.

"I'm on the battlefield, there are people in front, behind, and on the left. If you are unlucky and are shot by a tramp, then accept your fate. This is God who wants to accept you, so find a good family to reincarnate."

"Uncle, can you die if you are shot in the arm by an arrow?"

"If the arrow is not clean, it is easy to get tetanus if it hits. Even if it is not tetanus, the suppuration of the wound can make you feel so painful. It would be fine if it can be overwhelmed. If it can't be overwhelmed, it will really hurt you to death."

"What should I do?"

"What should I do? Have you ever burned incense and asked the Buddha for blessings? If you haven't burned it before, I hope your ancestors will bless you!"

"Uncle, what should I do if I can't understand the flag and hear the sound of the digit?"

"Don't think about anything. You can do whatever others do. Don't stand up in everything, do you know?" The veteran patiently taught his experience, "Your thin body, don't think about making contributions. Saving your life is the most important thing."

"oh..."

The recruit lowered his head and checked his crotch armor. After a while, he saw the veteran wrapping a rope around the spear pole and asked curiously what was going on.

"When a spear stabs a person, blood will flow down the pole. It will slide when holding it with your hands. Even if the straw rope is wrapped around, it will not slide when it is soaked with blood."

"Wouldn't it be better to wrap it with cloth?"

"If you burn more money, you can wrap it with cloth!"

Seeing the new recruits, the veterans continued to teach their experience. If there were really strips of cloth, they would wash them clean and carry them with them. They would bandage them when they were injured on the battlefield. As for the treatment of military doctors, they were not something that big-headed soldiers like them could enjoy.

"You have to rely on yourself in everything, and you have fellow villagers. If you are injured, you will still be able to help you run away. If you die, at least you will go back to report to your family."

While the two were talking, they heard someone whispering outside. The veteran walked out of the tent and saw many people gathering together in groups of three or five talking about something.

"What are you saying? Could it be that you add meat tonight?"

"Don't you know? Guangtongcang was burned by Zhou Jun!"

"Let's talk! Where did the Zhou army emerge? Besides, Guangtongcang was not under heavy troops, so how could it be burned for people?"

"Anyway, I was burned by Zhou Jun, and the news spread... Oh, the days ahead are so sad!"

"Is this news true? Could it be that Zhou Jun made a spell? "

"Don't believe it, this is what I said as a fellow villager in the general's account..."

Seeing that everyone was rumoring, the veteran stomped his feet and turned back to the tent: "You have to eat a few more bowls later, and there will be no food in the future."

Seeing the new recruit's inexplicable appearance, he told the rumor again. Seeing that the other party had not yet come back to his senses, he first explained why the burning of Guangtong Cang would cause food supply to be insufficient, and then continued to teach his experience.

"You have thin arms and legs. You will definitely not be able to steal other people's rice. Remember, you only serve half a bowl of the first bowl. After eating, hurry up and queue up to make the second bowl!"

The recruit nodded, and for a while, he asked again: "Then will you fight this battle next?"

"Battle? Why are you fighting after all the food is gone? I see, this Sui Dynasty will be over sooner or later!"

The rumors that Guangtong Cang was burned were like stones thrown into the water that caused ripples in the Sui Army camp, spreading around, and the range became larger and larger.

......

In a corner of the camp, several generals were whispering in a tightly guarded camp tent.

“Is this news reliable?”

"Reliable, my brother is the military officer of Tian Cao, Huazhou..."

In the military camp, it is said that no one is allowed to inquire about military information without the permission of the commander. However, the actual situation is that the generals of each department have their own information channels. They don’t know what the messengers who entered the tent today said, but they can still find out the news from other places.

According to the rules, the military camps are not allowed to enter and exit at will, so as not to intervene in and spy on military information. However, in actual implementation, there are many loopholes, not to mention such a large-scale camp, many armies are mixed after being stationed together.

The troops of various families were in and out, and the soldiers who chopped wood were also in and out. It was not surprising that anyone was involved in it. The generals relied on their own eyes and ears to obtain the news that the commander wanted to hide.

Guangtong Cang is over, and it is naturally the Zhou army that attacked the granary. Not to mention which valley these guys emerged from, and the mountains of grain and grass piled up into ashes, what should the army outside Chang'an City do?

It is okay to adjust it from other places, but there is not much grain stored in Guanzhong, otherwise there will be no need to dig Guangtong Canals and set up Guangtong Warehouse to transport grain and grass. Now, temporarily organizing the transportation of young and strong grains will not relieve incoming thirst.

Originally, the grain in the General Administration of the Three Prefectures of Bin and Jing was already tight, and a lot of the grain was transported to Chang'antun in Taicang. Now, we can only transfer grain from the prefecture warehouse urgently. But this takes time, and it seems to be very difficult.

The Luozhou is fighting, and the food must be tight. Shu should not think about it and cannot catch up. He can only rely on Hedong to rescue the emergency. However, the army outside Chang'an City consumes a lot of food and grass every day, and relying on Hedong to transport grain is just a drop in the bucket.

This is still a secondary problem. Even if there will be no food shortage for several days, the shortage of food will inevitably lead to a chaos in the morale of the army. It is impossible for the soldiers to fight with others hungry, and the war will not continue.

The only way is to attack Chang'an immediately, but the Zhou army must defend the enemy. Not to mention whether it can win quickly, but to just say whether it is necessary to fight this battle?

"The Yang family has finally lived up to the emperor's destiny, but they asked me to wait and work hard, haha."

A general laughed softly and looked at everyone present. He put away his smile: "In my opinion, the Sui Kingdom will be over sooner or later. Do you want to be buried with him?"

Another general took over the conversation: "Of course not. I think the price offered by Qi State publicly is good. Anyway, we were also generals of Zhou State back then, weren't we?"

"These guys tomorrow will force us to attack Chang'an, and then we will not be able to advance or retreat..."
