Chapter 1006: Will the Land Survive? Will the People Survive?
"If you want to accomplish this plan, you must go to Tianlang City again. Attacking the city is not easy, so the current priority is to attract the main force in the city out!" The supplies are all in Tianlang City. If you want to seize food, you naturally have to go to Tianlang City.
"Yes, sir, what do you have to teach me?"
Wu Yi may not have no ideas at all, but since he asked in this way, he had the intention of testing Yu Wuci.
"Just showing weakness!" Yu Wuci slowly uttered four words, without adding a word.
Wu Yi tested Yu Wuci, and Yu Wuci was also testing Wu Yi. The master chooses the subordinate, and the good bird also chooses the tree to live. It is a mutual process.
This conversation ended here. Mutual reservation and mutual testing are essentially a process of mutual testing. At the same time, Wu Yi also needs time to confirm the true identity of Yu Wuci, so naturally he will not say too much.
This kind of life of killing horses for food lasted for another three days. During these three days, he kept changing his base, basically circling around Tianlang City.
The apparent reason was naturally to find a suitable place to stay. After changing several places, Wu Yi did not find a good place like before, which was enough to take advantage of the terrain.
However, the real reason was to run around and look for wild grass and fruits for food.
Every day, many unusable horse skins were left near the original camp. Just by counting the hooves, you can know how many horses Wu Yi's side would slaughter every day. The captured horses were consumed. In about ten days, I am afraid that even horse meat will not be eaten.
Looking at the decreasing food in the army, Wu Yi was too lazy to scold Zhang Tianwen. How did this logistics work? Didn't they treat him as cannon fodder and not even want to provide him with a meal?
However, Wu Yi now did not know that in the eyes of Zhang Tianwen and others, he was already a dead man. The news sent back by the soldiers who escaped before was that the army was divided and the Rinan tribe launched a large-scale attack.
In this case, where would Wu Yi live? Even if he didn't die, he would probably be a prisoner!
It was also because of this that Zhang Tianwen suspended the food delivery to prevent the food shipped to the front line from being seized by the Rinnan army. When Wu Yi's messenger sent back the news, everyone regarded it as a joke. Even those who came to investigate seemed half-hearted, like a tourist.
In addition, Wu Yi kept changing his station, which was not much different from a bandit. He went wherever it was rugged and hidden.
The troops sent by Zhang Tianwen could not find Wu Yi's real location for a while. The news spread from all sides, true and false, real and fake. Even if it was a day apart, the news could be very different.
In the face of the entire history, what individuals saw was one-sided and single. It could not be said to be false. It could only be said that at the time they were there, this matter was true.
For this reason, Wu Yi now had to "beg for food" everywhere like a beggar.
However, with thousands of people plus captives, the number of people is tens of thousands. It is very difficult to conceal the huge marching track. Even if confusing measures are taken, it is still impossible to hide it from the Rinan tribe garrison stationed in Tianlang City.
As the team continues to march, some people will naturally leave the team. Some people accidentally leave the team because of fatigue, taking the wrong road or other reasons, while some people will leave the team on their own initiative, especially the captives. More than a thousand people have escaped in the past few days.
The news was reported and spread in the army. More and more people suggested that Wu Yi kill the captives or chop off their hands and feet to prevent them from becoming a disaster. Otherwise, the captives who surrendered with great difficulty would shake their heads and become their enemies again.
Wu Yi ignored all these suggestions and insisted on his own opinion.
As a result, the dissatisfaction with Wu Yi in the army rose again. The saying that Wu Yi was confused and made many random deaths after winning the battle spread in the army.
Of course, they still dared not point their spearheads at Wu Yi, but for those captives who were eating food and thinking about escaping, these soldiers did not have such a good attitude, and they beat and scolded them at every turn.
There were many more cases of abusing captives. In the past few days, several chaos were reported to Wu Yi's desk.
In response, Wu Yi no longer came forward at the first time, and seemed to be conniving. As a result, the situation became worse and worse. Wu Yi even got intelligence that these captives decided when to prepare to rebel together.
The news may not be false, but Wu Yi no longer cared about it, because the weakness of the past few days had ended, and his strategy had been half successful.
The time of this end did not depend on Wu Yi, but on when the defenders of the Rinan tribe could not hold back and attacked again.
Perhaps it was to avenge the last time, or perhaps it was under pressure from the high-level leaders of the Rinan tribe. The Rinan army stationed in Tianlang City attacked heavily. According to the news sent back by the scouts, the defenders in Tianlang City were at most tens of thousands, and there were many wounded soldiers from the previous time. It was definitely the weakest time.
At dusk that day, Wu Yi summoned Yu Wuci to his presence. Since the last time he asked for advice, Wu Yi spent a lot of time investigating this person's identity, but in the end! Nothing was found.
Illegitimate children, whether in the Great Ji Dynasty or in the Northern Tribe, are things that cannot be seen in the light. When such a thing happens, the person involved can only try his best to cover it up, so Wu Yi got nothing.
But it does not prevent Wu Yi from using this person. What if his identity is not clear? Even if his identity is clear, can you guarantee that there will be no problem?
When Yu Wuci saw Wu Yi again, he naturally understood why Wu Yi was looking for him? After dismissing his attendants, the first thing he said was: "This is a God-given opportunity, the general must not miss it!"
Wu Yi said: "Tianlang City has weak defenses. If the attack is fierce, it is not impossible to capture the entire city. Sir, do you think I should stay in Tianlang City?"
If I can defend it, I may not be made a marquis or a prime minister with this merit, but it should not be difficult to obtain a title!
If I can't defend it, I will die.
This is a choice with equally great risks and benefits.
Yu Wuci said firmly and firmly: "Tianlang City must not be defended!"
"Oh?" Wu Yi made a puzzled sound.
Yu Wuci understood that Wu Yi was still testing him. With Wu Yi's current military strength, staying in Tianlang City would be a dead end. Unless Zhang Tianwen changed his mind and decided to choose Tianlang City as the main battlefield and concentrate the strength of the army to support it, otherwise, Wu Yi would die and could not defend it even if he took it.
"How many troops does the general have?"
"Seven thousand. This light attack might alert the enemy, so a thousand troops will be left behind to garrison! Not counting the losses caused by the siege, the troops are only six thousand!" Wu Yi might never have the chance to meet the thousand men left behind again. Here, Wu Yi was telling the truth.
"How many troops does the enemy have?" Yu Wuci continued to ask.
