"Pfft … Who did you say was slashed?"
Jiang Pengji ate and drank the spicy food happily. Although the conditions of the march were harsh, she still tried her best to live a better life.
She was just enjoying her food, but she didn't expect Yang Si to reveal such a big news for her.
Yang Si didn't frown. He was used to his lord's behavior, which was more boorish than a man's. Sometimes, he even forgot her gender.
He repeated, "Our informant sent news that Nie Xun was slashed by Yuan Xin. His life is in danger."
Jiang Pengji clapped her hands and said with a smile, "They're biting each other. They haven't won the war and they're already fighting among themselves?"
Yang Si secretly rolled his eyes. No matter what, Nie Xun was her cousin. She didn't have to gloat so obviously, right?
Jiang Pengji coughed and said seriously, "Why was Nie Xun slashed by Yuan Xin? And he almost lost his life? "
Yang Si said, "I heard that they had a disagreement before the battle. Yuan Xin flew into a rage out of humiliation and slashed him."
According to their understanding, Yuan Xin was a 100% boorish man. He had a lot of experience in war, but he was impatient and arrogant.
In Jiang Pengji's opinion, such a guy could only be a vanguard general who charged and broke through enemy lines. He couldn't be a commander who commanded the army.
If it were her, she would never let Yuan Xin have any command. Even if she had to do so, she would arrange for people who could suppress Yuan Xin. Obviously, he and Nie Xun had different opinions. Yuan Xin was definitely stupid. If Nie Xun died, he would really die unjustly.
Nie Xun wasn't enough to suppress Yuan Xin. Instead, he angered Yuan Xin and was killed. Wasn't that unjustly?
Jiang Pengji always said whatever was on her mind. Her straightforward temperament made people love and hate her at the same time. "Nie Xun is really pitiful. He has such an idiot. As his cousin, I definitely sympathize with him. As his enemy, I feel that I can secretly laugh when I lie in bed at night. "
Yang Si was speechless.
He looked around and found that there was indeed no one around. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Si didn't want this idle conversation to be written into unofficial history. If Nie Xun saw it, he would be so angry that he would die.
Most importantly, it was very embarrassing.
"Nie Xun's life and death are unknown. This is indeed beneficial to our army." Yang Si stroked his beard and said, "Yuan Xin is nothing to worry about."
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "I didn't treat this person as an opponent. He lowered my status."
Yang Si was puzzled. "What do you mean by acting cool?"
His lord always had amazing words and strange words. Yang Si liked to listen to them and always felt that they were fresh and interesting.
Jiang Pengji said, "The so-called pretentiousness is the ability to show off."
Yang Si was confused again. "What's posturing?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "You pretend to be very powerful and let others think that you are powerful. In fact, it means very powerful."
The viewers in the livestream also giggled as they provided detailed explanations.
[Jing Jia]: Xiao Rongrong, do you see the streamer in front of you? Every time she unleashed her domineering aura, she was acting cool.
Capricorn Story Man: "I can't help but complain. The host is really a master of the essence of acting tough.
Yang Si's expression twisted for a moment, and he couldn't help but tell the truth.
"This phrase … is quite suitable for the Lord."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
The inexplicable feeling of being ridiculed by one's own strategist hit the bullseye _ (: з) ∠) _
[Yi Wei]: "Xiao Rongrong is really too cute. The power of that ridicule just now should be enough to blow up half of the Japanese pirates' island."
[Durian Gao]: "Accurate, vivid, and ruthless. You hit the target with one strike. Xiao Rongrong has already seen the threshold of the holy temple of ridicule."
Jiang Pengji coughed awkwardly and changed the topic stiffly.
"The news that Nie Xun is seriously ill and dying has been confirmed. Just Yuan Xin alone isn't scary. We can still continue to stir up trouble."
It would be best to stir up the entire Chenzhou and delay the situation at the rear to distract Huang Song at the frontline.
Yang Si said faintly, "My lord, you still have to be careful. You can't expose your identity."
After all, Jiang Pengji was still a "patient." Her condition was not much better than Nie Xun's.
Although she was reckless, she still had to keep up her disguise.
Jiang Pengji pouted uninterestedly. Why did Yang Si always like to make things difficult for her?
[Yusui Jieyou]: "If I don't make things difficult for you, then I'm sorry for the delicacies that were snatched away by the host.
Jiang Pengji: "…"
Whether it was God's will or something else, Yuan Xin, who had lost Nie Xun, was not as stupid as the two of them had expected.
The first few days were smooth sailing, but then they encountered obstacles.
Jiang Pengji was the first to discover that something was wrong.
Yesterday, when she led the troops to sweep through the area, they could get a lot of food, but the food they found today was much less than expected.
"This should be an important town. Why isn't there much food stored in the warehouse?"
It seemed that more than half of the food had been moved away overnight. The ones that had not been moved away were probably because there was not enough manpower.
Yang Si said, "We'll know once we catch the person in charge and ask him."
They caught the person in charge of the granary, but he still refused to answer. They used some methods to extort a confession from him, and he confessed everything.
"The food stored in the granary in the nearby important town has long been moved away …"
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and asked, "When did this happen?"
The person in charge answered shakily, "Three days ago."
Jiang Pengji sneered and played with the whip in her hand. The whip was like a snake with eyes. It whipped the ground from time to time, making a crisp sound. The person in charge was horrified to see that the long whip had left a few deep marks on the green brick ground.
"Which direction did they go?"
The person in charge resisted the urge to pee in his lower abdomen. He was drenched in cold sweat as he said, "They went southwest."
Jiang Pengji looked at his face coldly for a long time. She raised her hand and waved. Two strong soldiers came forward and pressed him down.
"Is it possible that Nie Xun is not critically ill?" Yang Si was puzzled. "Yuan Xin really doesn't seem like a person with such a brain and reaction speed."
Yuan Xin was an old general with rich combat experience, but he was too conceited. To put it bluntly, he was a straightforward person who did not know how to be flexible.
To deal with Jiang Pengji's rogue tactic of using war to sustain war, fortifying the defense and clearing the field was the most conservative and the smartest way. It also had the smallest loss.
Yuan Xin did not think of this. Instead, he chose to lead the troops to fight Jiang Pengji head-on. In the end, he was beaten by her until he covered his head and fled like a rat.
Now he reacted and wanted to cut off her food supply?
Jiang Pengji asked, "How many days do we have left of our army's provisions?"
Yang Si replied, "The military supplies that Yuan Xin's army left behind previously, plus the harvest from these days, should be able to last for another 10 days."
After 10 days, the situation would not be optimistic.
Yang Si could not figure out what had happened to Yuan Xin. Was Yuan Xin out of his mind or was there someone guiding him?
If it was the former, there was no need to worry.
If it was the latter, they had to find a way to slip away as soon as possible.
Jiang Pengji said, "Fight and retreat at the same time. Be prepared for both scenarios."
She was not a greedy person. She also knew when to stop.
It was important to destroy the enemy, but the soldiers in her army were not cabbages. They could not increase the meaningless consumption.
