Chapter 248 Robbery Grain (Part [-])
"Thinking about the harvest in autumn is because the water in the distance can't quench the thirst!" After Xiao Qing finished speaking, he realized that it was a bit disrespectful to talk to the son-in-law, and his face was suddenly embarrassed.

Qin Wubing slapped Xiao Qing hard and asked pretending to be angry: "Can't you be more tactful?"

Xiao Qing giggled.

"Don't think about what's there and what's not in your mind. Nothing is as important as keeping the city properly right now! Do you have an idea?"

Xiao Qing nodded, shook his head again and said:
"It's like this. Our guard belongs to Shitu Guard. We have our own land, and we grow a lot of food. We don't need the court to distribute it. When we came out this time, there was still a lot of grain in the granary of the guard. At that time, no one knew it was this kind of food. Due to the situation, it is impossible to carry food out. I asked Mr. Song this morning and said the same thing. How can we bring the food in the guard? Besides, there are six guards in the southwest of Shitu Guard, which is the same as our guard, except for the far ones. There are two that are a little closer, and if we get the food stored in the guard, it will be no problem to keep it until the autumn harvest!"

Qin Wubing was ecstatic for a while, but soon calmed down.

他 说:

"Xichuan raised so many soldiers secretly, and the problem of food and grass has to be solved every day. That is to say, they raise soldiers in the mountains, just like you, self-sufficient! We didn't expect the current situation, and they didn't expect that all the food in your guards Why don’t they store food in the mountains? You have a maximum of 1 guards in one guard, but they have an army of [-] scattered in the mountains to farm, hunt, and train soldiers. Can I think this way, they have more food in their hands than you?”

Xiao Qing nodded with bright eyes and said: "It must be so, if we can find their food..."

"You don't need to look for it! You can think of going to the guard to transport food, why can't they think of going to the mountains to get food? If we can determine the route of their food delivery, we can rob food halfway, not only to solve our urgent needs in Xining, but also to border soldiers. You can also have a full meal!"

Song Fu was excited, his double chin was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Now the rebels are relying on the three border wars to delay us. The son-in-law once said that as long as the border wars are not subsided and the flood disaster is not over, they will have a chance. We don't need to confront them head-on, as long as we solve the food problem. The problem is, energy consumption can kill him! It's just..." Song Fu suddenly put away his excitement and said worriedly: "It's just that the farmers around Xihe suffered a lot. The rebels don't have enough food in Xihe City, so they will definitely send troops out of the city to go to the village secretly Grab food from here, if you meet someone who is not willing to pay the food, I am afraid that you will lose your life!"

Qin Wubing frowned, the rebels could do this kind of thing, the leader of Fan Yang's rebels had ordered to go to the villages passing by to grab food, since it was a robbery, if some farmers refused to give it, it would be cruel and bloody!
Qin Wubing stood up. He calculated when he would receive the reply from the prince. He wanted to know the situation in all places including the border, not just around Xining City. He believed that King Xichuan must have various For example, they know that the army transferred from Xining City has not turned back...

If you can't see the overall situation, you may make wrong judgments, not to mention that Qin Wubing knows that he has no experience to draw lessons from inferences in this area.

Qin Wubing anxiously paced back and forth, then stopped suddenly and asked, "How long will it take to get from Xihe to Pinglu?"

Xiao Qing thought for a while and said, "You can arrive all day and all night without sleep, what's the meaning of the son-in-law?"

"Is it possible for the rebels in Xihe City to attack Pinglu?" Qin Wubing returned to the table and asked nervously.

Lin Huai stood up abruptly.

Xiao Qing didn't quite understand, and asked, "Why did the son-in-law ask such a question?"

"Didn't we just say that the rebels in Xihe City might leave the city to grab food? If all the food in the surrounding area is robbed, is it possible to attack Pinglu directly? The king of Xichuan must be more informed than me. He already knew about Pinglu. There are no defenders in the city, so he only needs to send [-] cavalry... Guo Yi has no experience in defending the city!"

Qin Wubing didn't say that the remaining 5000 people were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals!When they left, they never thought that the rebels would still have a chance to go to Pinglu, and even thought about letting the recitation troupe go to Xihe for a tour. Thinking of this, Qin Wubing gasped in fear.

Xiao Qing thought about it seriously and said:

"Although there are [-] rebels in Xihecheng, to be honest, there are not many. King Xichuan must try his best to defend the city with as many troops as possible. If he attacks Pinglu, it will be equivalent to dividing his forces, and he will never be able to capture Pinglu. The city doesn't defend the city, so turn your face and go back?"

Qin Wubing blinked and thought it made sense, Lin Huai took a long breath and sat back on the chair.

Seeing that Qin Wubing still had concerns, Xiao Qing said again:

"I think the rebel army is seriously short of troops now. Although they can receive news that there is no one defending the city in Pinglu, but Xining has repeatedly lost. How dare they trust it and take the risk of attacking the city? The son-in-law seemed to have fallen from the sky at the beginning. Not to mention the rebels, even we have never thought about it, if the [-] cavalry are all in Pinglu City, it will be even more difficult if King Xichuan wants to stand up!"

Qin Wubing nodded frequently, and then said: "There are still 2 rebels in Xichuan, will they let some of the [-] troops transport food to Xining?"

"This is very possible! There are many mountains in the southwest, and it is not difficult to avoid our eyeliner by taking a detour. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Nanzhao reinforcements to be discovered for so long, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is escort Food, I’m afraid it won’t be possible if we think about it quickly, from Xichuan to Xihe, um… it will take about 20 days.”

Qin Wubing asked: "How long does it take from Xichuan to Xining? How long does it take from Xining to Xihe?"

Xiao Qing immediately understood what Qin Wubing meant, and immediately said:
"The son-in-law thought that their food delivery team had already set off for Xining, and then the rebel army was defeated in Xining City, so they diverted to Xihe?"

Qin Wubing nodded and said:

"Before we didn't know that they still had troops in Xichuan, and we thought that the battle of Xining was their only battle. Now we know that they have arranged a retreat. King Xichuan arrived in Xihe City early, and the arrangement of food and grass cannot be left behind. Now we Just figure out where the food delivery team is? Which way will it go? How many troops are there? Then look at the soldiers in our hands...how many troops can we send to rob the food?"
