Chapter 149 Who wouldn’t be worried?
"It's great that you think so." Zong Yanli nodded with a smile, and then said: "I came here to tell you that although this incident happened in the army, it is not the responsibility of the Tianlei Army. Don't think too much about it. I never ask about the background of my brothers."
Zong Yanli sat in front and said seriously, "In the future, the number of soldiers in the army will increase. It is the general's responsibility to discipline the soldiers under his command. If the brothers under General Fu have any complaints, you can tell me."
Fu Jia Shi even said he didn't dare, and finally watched Zong Yanli leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Jiashi had just joined and didn't know much about Zong Yanli's temper. What Zong Yanli had said today in person was indeed sincere, but Fu Jiashi couldn't help but wonder, was the general speaking from the heart, or was he just trying to warn him?
Zong Yanli didn't know what Fu Jiashi was thinking, she just wanted to do what she was supposed to do.
The military tent was simply built, and not long after Zong Yanli returned, the sky gradually darkened.
"General——!" Zong Yanli just felt the temperature drop a little and felt a little cool when he heard the shouts of Monk and others outside.
"Look what we hunted!" Zong Yanli followed the sound and went out of the tent, and saw Monkie, Jie Hu and others carrying a big wild boar back.
Zong Yanli was shocked when he saw the huge wild boar. In the country of Qing where people couldn't even get enough food, how could such a big wild boar be raised?
Monk and his companions had delighted looks on their faces as they saw them all covered in mud, presumably from the time they were hunting the wild boar.
Kuang Xingquan washed his face and wiped off the dirt while saying, "This beast is very cunning. We chased it for ten miles and finally caught it after several attempts."
Kuang Xingquan found it funny that they had to use military tactics to deal with this wild boar.
Zong Yanli walked over to take a look and found that the wild boar had been killed by them. He didn't know where it had gotten so fat and strong. Now it was a good bargain for them. He immediately asked people to boil water and sharpen the knife, preparing for a good meal.
Monkie and the others were full of energy and had already started to greet people without Zong Yanli's instructions.
Fortunately, there is a water source where we stop, which makes it much easier to slaughter pigs and meat.
If such a big wild boar is not cleaned up soon, it will become smelly in two days. Now the weather is hot and it cannot be stored.
Looking at the big pots and stoves busy with cooking, it was as lively as the New Year. Although the wild boar looked fat and strong, when it was killed and distributed, each account would actually get only a little.
But even this little bit of oil is enough to inspire the soldiers.
Especially in the Tianlei Army, Fu Jiashi was a little surprised when he saw the meat distributed. When he asked again, he found out that there was wild boar meat in every tent, but the general got the least.
"The general has always been like this." Seeing Fu Jiashi's shocked expression, Huo Wenqi laughed and said, "General Fu will get used to it in the future."
After all, they were all fed like this by Zong Yanli.
The generals took the meat back and distributed it to the soldiers under their command. They ate the meat and drank the soup together with the soldiers, thus strengthening their relationship with the soldiers.
When they were almost done eating, they went to Zong Yanli's tent one after another, as if being together like this had become a tacit understanding between them.
"It is really thanks to you generals that I can have a good meal today." Gongsun Pu smiled and bowed to Monkie and others.
"Hey hey hey! Just talk, why are you bowing?" Monk was so frightened by Gongsun Pu's posture of bowing that he almost jumped up, as if his whole body was uncomfortable.
"Haha!" Everyone laughed when they saw this. Zong Yanli also invited everyone to take a seat and skillfully unfolded the map. There was also pork bone soup stewing in the tent. Everyone held a bowl and drank the soup as if it were wine.
"Sha Haoqian, the general of the Luoshang Pass garrison, was originally from Hehai. His grandfather had followed the previous emperor of Qing to fight and made great contributions. Later, Zhuo Kangshun plotted to seize the throne. Although Sha Haoqian was not given a high position, his military power was not taken away."
"Instead, he ordered them to guard Luoshang Pass. Almost all the states and counties near Luoshang Pass are considered to be his territories. There are about 15,000 troops guarding the pass." Pei Liang came over and told him the general information he had learned.
Zong Yanli narrowed his eyes and nodded. Luoshang Pass had a considerable number of troops, most of whom were Sha Haoqian's personal soldiers.
Gongsun Pu added: "Luoshang Pass is located at a low altitude, which may be an advantage for us."
Zhan Haoyue tilted his head and said, "Before attacking the city, it is better to persuade him to surrender first, so as to test his temper."
Everyone was making plans. Zong Yanli listened with a nod, taking a sip of the soup from time to time. Then he made a general understanding of the military strength at Luoshang Pass and how to deal with the military deployment. Seeing that the soup was almost finished, the meeting was almost over.
Zong Yanli asked them to go back, and everyone stood up and left.
When Zong Yanli's army was about to approach Luoshang Pass, Sha Haoqian had already learned the news.
At that time, Luoshang Pass was in chaos. Zong Yanli's name was already known to everyone, not to mention that they had just broken through the border pass and even Zhong Jianxun escaped. Sha Haoqian thought a lot and even held a glimmer of hope that Zong Yanli would not attack Luoshang Pass.
Unexpectedly, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
"General! Zong Yanli's troops are full of brave generals. How can we deal with them?" In the military tent, Sha Haoqian sat at the first seat, and below him sat the generals. Each of them had a pale face and was whispering to each other in great distress.
"I heard that Zong Yanli recruited a fierce general before he invaded Qing State, and he called him the Heavenly Thunder Army." The person next to him said with a toothache, "How do we fight this?"
"They also seized our army's siege crossbows."
"This……"
Everyone was talking about it, but no one could come up with a solution.
In front are the ghost camp of the Wu Army, behind are the White Eagle Army, and now there is also the Tianlei Army.
Who wouldn’t worry about this?
"Don't say these useless things." Sha Haoqian also had a headache. He stopped everyone from talking and took a deep breath and said, "Since the Wu army has taken this road, they must be going to break through the pass. Now the Wu army is more than ten miles away and will soon be at the gates of the city."
"How should we respond?" Sha Haoqian asked this, and the soldiers below him fell silent in unison.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally said, "We can only hold on. If we go out of the city to meet the enemy, I'm afraid our army will be defeated."
A general nearby sighed and said, "Luoshang Pass is located in a low valley, and it is not easy to defend. If the Wu army attacks, we will not be able to resist for a few days."
Someone else said, "So, asking for help?"
When these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter. Given the current situation in Qing Kingdom, where could they get help?
