While Li Chen and Prince Ning were sitting in the other courtyard, enjoying the fine wine and vegetables, a hundred miles away, Yelu Shenxuan was chewing the rabbit leg in his mouth and concentrating on studying the military map in front of him.
Beside him, there were several senior generals who were talking among themselves, pointing at the map from time to time, making plans, deductions and deployments.
Yelu Shenxuan was chewing and thinking, and suddenly felt nauseous. He looked at the bland rabbit leg in his hand, frowned and asked, "Isn't there any salt?"
The personal guard responsible for Yelu Shenxuan's food and daily life came over and whispered: "Let it go, put some, but... not much."
Only then did Yelu Shenxuan remember that the entire army was in urgent need of supplies. Although the soldiers below could still ensure a daily supply of food, most of them had changed from fresh ingredients to dry food that was easier to carry and store, and was cheaper.
Even the rabbit leg in his hand was obtained by the personal guards who traveled more than ten miles and fought hard in the mountains and forests. This meaty meat has now become a luxury item in the Liao army.
And salt is even more of a luxury product. Even he, let alone the soldiers below, must spend it carefully.
He looked up and looked outside. The heavy snow still showed no sign of letting up. Newcomers might be surprised by the magnificent scenery of thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting, but now Yelu Shenxuan was only left with irritability and anxiety.
The ice and snow annihilated life. All the villages in the world were evacuated by the Qin army in advance. Not even a grain of rice was left for them. The most disgusting thing is that even the water sources were polluted. But this problem is not that big, after all.
The snow melts and becomes water, which is just a little more troublesome...but this behavior is really disgusting.
In this world, dead animals and hibernating animals are all hiding, and there is nothing to eat at all. The biggest problem facing the Liao army right now is not the difficulty of combat, but the logistical pressure that has become too great to be ignored.
must be resolved.
"The scouts from the front came to report that from the location of the army all the way to Suiyang County where the Qin army is located, there are two counties and more than forty villages in the middle. Within a radius of twenty miles, there is no human habitation except the Qin army."
A general raised his head and said: "The Qin army called it a strong wall and a clear wilderness."
Yelu Shenxuan's eyebrows were gloomy. He suppressed his anger and said calmly: "The Qin Army naturally has its own tricks. If they don't do anything, they will be in trouble. So many vicious methods prove that they are at the end of their rope.
.”
Why is it not you who is at the end of your rope?
Yelu Shenxuan was upset and looked up again, only to see that his bodyguard was hesitant to speak. He seemed to have something important to report, so he stood up and said, "You continue to make plans, I'll be back as soon as I go."
After saying that, Yelu Shenxuan walked up to the bodyguard.
"Prince, the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun is coming." The guard whispered, making Yelu Shenxuan's brows jump.
"Where are the people?"
"Waiting in the prince's tent."
Yelu Shenxuan immediately walked towards his tent without saying a word.
After a while, Yelu Shenxuan met Wu Yong in the camp.
"Who are you?" Yelu Shenxuan asked.
"Wu Yong, the deputy general of the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun and the commander of Tiefutu, has met the prince of Liao Kingdom." Wu Yong, neither humble nor overbearing, saluted in reply.
Yelu Shenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
