Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 264 Little Pride

In order to get alcohol, Shen Yuexi initially wanted to collect it from the wine in the military camp.

But thinking of the outrage when everyone knocked on the wine jar at the celebration banquet and found that there was actually cold water in it, she obediently broke her mind.

Fortunately, Qi Wangjun was relatively quiet these days, and there was no war between the two armies, so she was able to try various methods quietly.After trying several methods, she suddenly remembered that ancient wine was fermented and brewed from grain. Can Daxiong directly use grain to make alcohol?
She tried it with a little grain, and she succeeded in collecting alcohol.

The universal manufacturing machine is awesome.

Her next goal is to get enough food.

"Let's go to the valley where the grain is stored, there is enough grain for you to use." Xiao Zhuo led her out of the barracks and headed west, accompanied by a convoy full of empty cans.

There are two valleys in the west of Daying, both of which have only one entrance, which are natural grain storage places.One valley is called Xiayuangu, and the other valley is called Jiagu. The grain brought from Xiliang is stored in Jiagu, guarded by five thousand soldiers.

Passing through the wooden watchtower and entering the valley entrance of Jiagu, Shen Yuexi looked up and saw rows of thatched cottages climbing up the lush hillside. The sergeant opened the door of the nearest thatched cottage for her. Grain bags like hills.

Xiao Zhuo said: "The food here is enough to support an army of [-] for three months. Yuexi, you can find any food in a thatched cottage to use."

Shen Yuexi asked the accompanying sergeants to unload the alcohol containers. She found a thatched hut in an open space and asked Da Xiong to start making alcohol, while Xiao Zhuo went to talk to the general guarding the granary.

After working for half an hour, Shen Yuexi made a thousand cans of alcohol.With so much alcohol, the original carriage could not be moved, and [-] more carriages were needed to carry it.It happened that a Xiliang general named Geng Hong escorted the grain transport team to unload grain and grass in the valley.Shen Yuexi went to talk to Geng Hong, the Xiliang General.

When Geng Hong saw Shen Yuexi, he was overjoyed, and said: "Princess, the queen told the general, if I see you, I will greet you again and again."

"Queen?" Shen Yuexi was taken aback, "Is sister Mei the queen?"

She looked at Xiao Zhuo who was talking to the general of the defending army in the distance, if this person knew that Mei Dai became king, would he be unhappy?When this person appointed Feng Zhang as an official, she wanted Yang Cong to be an official too, but this person refused.

"It's like this," General Xiliang said, "there is only one queen left in the Mei family. A country cannot be without a king, and Xiliang cannot be without a king, so everyone embraced her as queen. It's just that the war in Xiliang is tense, and the four parties have not been notified yet. "

"Won't everyone have any objections to letting a woman be king?" Shen Yuexi was curious.

In this era, it is impossible for women to take part in the imperial examinations. Now that Mei Dai has become the queen of Xiliang, wouldn't those conservative old people and conservatives object?
"The matter of becoming king should have been first invited to the emperor. But the emperor has collapsed and the new emperor has not yet been established. We are invaded by Xirong in the north of Xiliang, and Yongwei in the south is still occupied by the army of King Qi. Now we are working together to face the crisis. At the same time, the queen is the daughter of the king of Xiliang, and she is the only one who can qualify." Geng Hong's eyes showed admiration, "The queen has led our Xiliang army to confront the northern Xirong army twice, one win and one loss, everyone I felt like she was the only one who could lead us."

Shen Yuexi was both surprised and delighted. From the previous losing streak against Xirong, now they have won each other.Unexpectedly, Mei Dai's ability is so outstanding, compared to her father and elder brother, maybe Xiliang has really found their king.

She said to Geng Hong: "General Geng, I want to borrow [-] carriages from the convoy, please ask the soldiers under the general's command to help us transport them."

Geng Hong readily agreed and ordered his sergeant to carry it.

Shen Yuexi passed through the endless stream of soldiers carrying grain and grass, and ran down the hillside to Xiao Zhuo:

"Husband, everything is ready, and I borrowed [-] carriages from General Geng to help. Shall we take the things back to the camp?"

Xiao Zhuo turned his head and said to her: "Yuexi, wait a moment." After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhuo turned back to the defending general and said, "You said a woodcutter passing by outside the valley?"

"Yes, two woodcutters came here to chop firewood yesterday, but our sergeant stopped them and didn't let them approach."

"Understood." Xiao Zhuo bowed his head in thought.

Shen Yuexi didn't know why he fell into deep thought, so she turned to the defending general and asked, "Did the two woodcutters say where they are from?"

"They said they were from Dongji Town."

"What do people from Dongji Town come here to chop firewood?" Shen Yuexi said in surprise, "If you want to chop firewood, you should go to Baixiu Mountain in the south of Dongji Town. There is no Baixiu Mountain here."

Xiao Zhuo raised her head and smiled at her when she heard the words: "Yuexi, have you seen the flaws?"

"Uh...what's the flaw?" Shen Yuexi didn't understand yet.

She just reacted a little slower, no way.

Xiao Zhuo said: "They are the spies of the King of Qi, and they have come here to make plans for our food and grass."

Hearing what he said, the defending general was the first to get nervous, and asked nervously, "Could it be that King Qi's army is coming to rob food?"

"To rob or burn food." Xiao Zhuo agreed very confidently, "Once the food and grass here are robbed or burned, it will be an incalculable loss to us."

Shen Yuexi also became nervous when she heard this: "Then what should we do, should we send heavy troops to defend first?"

The first way she thought of was to send heavy troops to defend the granary.

"No, if we divide the army from our main battalion here, it will be in the arms of King Qi's army. They can directly attack our camp with their strength." Xiao Zhuo explained to her.

Shen Yuexi thought of what Qiu Liming told her before, the consequences of once the troops were dispersed, and felt a headache: "Then what should I do?"

Xiao Zhuo said to the defending general: "Come here with your ears, I will tell you a countermeasure."

The general defending the army turned his ear, Xiao Zhuo whispered in his ear, but he didn't know what he said, but the general defending the army kept nodding his head.In the end Xiao Zhuo patted him on the shoulder: "Be careful, the lives of tens of thousands of us are on your body alone."

The general defending the army said: "Don't worry, my lord, the final general will not disgrace his life."

At this time, the Xiliang army had already loaded the alcohol tanks on the Xiliang army's carriage, Xiao Zhuo said to Shen Yuexi: "We will rest here until dark, and then we will leave."

Shen Yuexi didn't know why he made such a request, but she knew that Xiao Zhuo must have a reason for what he did, so she didn't ask too much.

When it was dark, Xiao Zhuo asked the motorcade not to turn on the lights, and quietly left Jiagu in the dark, heading towards Xiayuangu, four miles to the north.At the same time, there is also a convoy transporting food.

Shen Yuexi felt really strange that the team's actions were all sneaky.After thinking about it, she understood Xiao Zhuo's intention.

The enemy already knew that Jiagu was where Xiao Zhuo's army stored grain, and Xiao Zhuo asked the granary defenders to quietly move the grain and grass in the dark, so that even if the enemy came to attack, they could only rush in vain.

She felt a little proud, she had also grown up, and she was able to guess Xiao Zhuo's strategy.

But no one in the long convoy noticed that in a hidden place on the top of the mountain not far away, two scouts of King Qi's army were watching what happened below.

"Quickly go back to the camp to report to King Qi and His Royal Highness. Xiao Zhuo's army is already on alert and is secretly moving food and grass at night. The new food storage location is Xiayuangu."
