On the eastern suburbs of Fanyi, the Hengshan Army camp.

As the wheels were creaking, more than hundreds of ox carts penetrated into the gate. These ox carts were piled with sacks like hills, and the sacks were filled with food, at least thousands of pounds.

Amid the rapid footsteps, the plum blossoms were gathered in Geng's victory, and Geng looked straight towards the gate.

Looking at the hundreds of ox carts loaded with food in front of her, Mei Ta's face showed disappointment and even anxiety. He shouted loudly to the lieutenant who was carrying the food and grass and said, "Didn't it meant that 20,000 shi of grain were shipped today, why was there only 5,000 shi?"

Mei Ta had to worry about anxiety. As the saying goes, before the army moved, food and grass came first. The Hengshan army gathered in Fanyi Camp has now more than 100,000 people, but the food and grass raised is less than 20,000 stones. The 100,000 army, people eat horses and chew it, can consume more than 3,000 stones of grain in a day. How many days can a mere 20,000 stones of grain last?

The escort of the grain escort knelt down on one knee and replied tragically: "General, there were 20,000 stones, but when he was transported to Peng Shaze, he was suddenly blasted over half of the grain ship, but this was the only thing left."

"Losing military rations is a death sentence!" Mei Lian changed his expression with anger, "People come, drag it down and chop it!"

"Here!" The two personal soldiers agreed and rushed forward and pushed the escort to the ground.

"General, what will be wronged!" said the lieutenant of the grain escort, "It is the season of spring and summer. At this time of year, Peng Baze will be attacked by storms from time to time. The strong winds and hurricanes overturn the grain ships. It is really hard to predict the way of heaven. It is definitely not a dereliction of duty for the last general. It is not a pity for death. It is not a pity for death, but it is unwilling to die with unjust!"

Deputy General Gengsheng, Military Advisor Gengwang also stepped forward to plead with mercy.

Mei Lian groaned and shouted: "Diet crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. If you drag it down, you will answer eighty!"

The two personal soldiers answered again and dragged the escort down the escort. Mei Xian sighed and said worriedly: "I am negligent. The rainy season is now in progress, especially Peng Baze. Every time there is a hurricane, the waterway from Jiaxian to Fanyi will not be peaceful. It seems that we can only transport grain by land instead."

Gengsheng sighed: "But when this comes, the date of sending troops to Jiangdong will inevitably be postponed."

From Bang County to Fanyi, the waterway is very close and easy to walk. However, if you take the land route, not only will the journey increase several times, but the mountains and roads are also dangerous and difficult to walk. The grain that originally transported in only ten days may take one month to transport, and the amount of grain transported each time may be less than one-tenth of the water transport!

Geng Wang also said: "If I had known, I would have built a granary in Fanyi."

Mei Juan smiled bitterly and shook her head. It was as powerful as the Great Qin Empire. In addition to Taicang in Xianyang, it only built Ao Cang in north of Rongyang. How could it be possible to build another granary outside the capital of Zhu County?

When Mei Yu was about to turn around and return to the gear, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from behind him. When he looked back quickly, he saw a fast horse galloping from the front like a wind and clouds. Before he could approach, the knight on the horse's back had already flew over and fell off his horse and knelt on one knee to report to Mei Lian: "General, the army of Chu is coming!"

"Um?!"

"Huh!"

“This is impossible?!”

Mei Yu, Geng Sheng, Geng Wang's face changed drastically at the same time, and the army of Chu was attacking?!

"General, it's true!" The knight took a breath and said with a tragic expression, "The Chu army has passed Feiyundu, less than twenty miles away!"

"What did you say? The Chu army has passed Feiyundu?!" Gengsheng was furious and stepped forward to slash his chest and grabbed the knight, sternly, "Why did you go back until now? Why did you go again before?"

The knight did not dare to look at Geng Sheng's cannibalism and said with a tragic expression: "The general doesn't know that the Chu army is moving at an astonishing speed. Although the scouts of the last general had already discovered the whereabouts of the Chu army, when they passed the news back, the Chu army actually followed!"

"Send the order, the entire army will return to the camp and strengthen the vigilance!"

Mei Gui quickly recovered his calmness. Gengsheng did not participate in the siege of Gaixia, nor did he encircle the remnants of Xiangzhuang in Zhaodi. Therefore, he did not know the terrifying speed of the Chu army, but Mei Gui knew that in the Battle of Jipu, Mei Gui's 20,000 elite soldiers ran only fifty miles, and the Chu army actually ran more than a hundred miles. That speed was really not empty!

Geng Shengdao: "General, why don't you retreat into Fanyi City to stand firm?"

Geng Wang said, "Brother, you are so confused. The food, grass and equipment are all in the camp outside the city. How can the army stand firm when retreating into Fanzhen? Could it be that the soldiers will fight against the Chu army hungry? As for the transport of food and equipment, the Chu army has passed Feiyundu. It is less than twenty miles from Feiyundu to Fanzhen, and it is too late."

Geng Sheng instinctively said: "General, this is a problem now.

"What troublesome, what's the problem?" Mei Qing said coldly, "There are only three factors that determine the outcome of the war. The right time, the right place, and the right people. Our army is fighting in our own country, and we are waiting for work. It can be said that we have the right place and the right people. As for the right time, both the enemy and us are equal, so it is difficult for our army to defeat in this battle." ...............

On the road to Feiyundu to Fanyi, 20,000 Chu troops were advancing forward in the fifth column.

Amid the surging footsteps, Xiang Zhuang held a knife and held a halberd, and was shaking his long legs and running forward. Even his dry food bags and marching bedding were not bothering his personal soldiers. Although he was the King of Chu, Xiang Zhuang did not want to make any special moves, so he also left his Uyama in Cai County.

Of course, some specializations are still necessary.

In order to inspire morale and improve the combat effectiveness of an army, it is indeed necessary to increase the treatment of soldiers according to different titles. Just like the former Qin Ruiz, the treatment of different titles is very different. This is to encourage soldiers without or with low titles to fight hard on the battlefield and win higher titles.

The effect of doing this is also obvious. The equipment of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and the Qin Ruis was not the most excellent, and the training was not the strictest, but they were galloping on the battlefield and were invincible. Whether it was the martial arts soldiers of the Wei Kingdom, the halberd soldiers of the halberds, or the iron cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom, they were all crushed into powder by them!

The Chu army now strictly inherited the Qin army's title system. Different titles and treatments were completely different. For example, the Gongshi Shanghe could only eat dry food, and the hairpin and the wrong ones would be eaten with bacon, and the five or above doctors had even had soy wine to drink. However, the best military treatment was bacon and soy wine, but there was no other.

Of course, when you go to the local area, the treatment differences between different titles are huge.
