Chapter 474 The Lost Grain
"Alas! General, I don't even know how to say this to you!"
After a long silence, the Xiying general just sighed, and apart from that sigh, there was nothing practical!
"I don't believe it. You are a handsome seven-foot man, and you are not afraid of going to the battlefield to fight and kill the enemy. Are you afraid of telling the truth?"
"General, I..."
"What am I? Don't hesitate to say it directly!"
Wei Yan asked the generals of Xiying directly in an orderly tone.
"Here!"
Wei Yan's pressing question was naturally a great pressure for the Xiying generals.
So, even though he hesitated for a long time, he finally said that sentence.
"We haven't raised food, and the food and grass in our hands are not enough to support the army at this time!"
"Why didn't you raise food? Didn't I already give you the military expenses? Could it be that there is no way for you to complete such a trivial matter as simply using money to buy food?"
Wei Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange, logically speaking, this time the food requisition was definitely not for them to collect by themselves, but he specially distributed military expenses for them to buy by themselves!
But now that military expenditures have been paid out, the food and grass have not come back at all. This is indeed a bit strange!
"General, it's not that we can't buy it, but that we bought grain, but it was snatched away by others!"
Speaking of this, the general of the Western Army lowered his head again.
"Someone dares to rob us of our food. Could it be that they have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"
Hearing this, many of the generals present were furious. Seeing the appearance, they seemed to be able to swallow people alive!
On the contrary, Wei Yan was as calm as ever at this moment.
"Who did this thing, do you know?"
After the generals had quarreled, Wei Yan asked extremely calmly.
"The general investigated after the incident, and it was done by people from the Han forces. The two sides also had conflicts because of this matter, but in order not to destroy the current cooperative relationship, the general calmed down the matter, but the food was There is no way to get it back!"
As soon as the Xiying general said these words, everyone fell silent instantly.
"Nao, aren't you very capable? Why do you all become dumb when you hear that you are from the Han power?"
Wei Yan looked at these generals indifferently, as if frost was about to condense on his icy face!
"General, it is really difficult for us to intervene in the matter of the Han forces! Now we are equivalent to relying on others. If we make too much noise, then this matter may affect the interests of the two families!"
The Dongying general grinned and tried to persuade Wei Yan.
Although he was quite fierce just now, but now he doesn't care about this matter at all!
"Can you bear this matter?" Wei Yanren just didn't have a good face.
"If you can bear it, we can bear it!"
Most of the generals were almost waiting for Wei Yan's reaction, but now Wei Yan did not make any obvious moves.
In this way, everyone thought that Wei Yan was going to hold back this matter, so almost no one dared to express his opinion in a hurry!
"Who said I want to bear it? This matter is about our bottom line! What is food and grass? That is the lifeblood of our army. Now our lifeblood has been robbed by others for nothing. If we can bear it, Then we will become soft persimmons!"
Wei Yan finally broke out at this moment. The matter of robbing food and grass was a very serious matter. Regardless of who was robbing the food and grass, just doing this was enough to make Wei Yan furious!
But now that Wei Yan was so angry, the anger of the generals present was instantly aroused!
Especially the Xiying general, who had been silent and ashamed all this time, wanted to kill the leader of the Han nationality at this moment to vent his hatred!
"General, what do you think we should do about this matter? We only need to give you an order, and we can charge into battle for you and fight on the battlefield!"
The general of the Western Army has completely lost his mind at this moment, seeing that the opportunity to relieve his anger is close at hand, he really can't wait!
"Why, could it be that you want to fight to the death with the Han forces?" Wei Yan asked after slashing at the general of the Western Army.
"No... isn't this your order? General, so I'm just following orders. If you don't agree, general, how dare you act without permission!"
After being questioned by Wei Yan, the Xiying generals also lost the vigor they had just now...
"Hmph! You still know how to obey my orders, but I thought you were already ignorant!"
"Forgive me, General, I made a slip of the tongue at the end, please forgive me, General!"
The Xiying general clasped his fists to plead guilty. At this time, Wei Yan's majesty was everywhere, and everyone became quiet accordingly!
"Okay, let's not make an example!"
Wei Yan didn't mean to punish them, he just wanted to kill their vigor in this way, let them not be too impetuous!
"General, this matter..."
Although the general of the West Camp calmed down, this incident can be regarded as a major event for the entire military camp.
If the issue of food and grass cannot be resolved, then they will keep holding this breath down.
As for the task of cooperating with the Han forces in the later stage, it is expected that it will not be completed too well!
Therefore, when the Xiying generals mentioned this matter again, Wei Yan also made a promise to them.
"The matter of food and grass will never end easily. At this time, I only hope that the leader of the Han nationality does not know about this matter. As long as he is ignorant of this matter, then he can eliminate the suspicion!
In this way, our cooperation with him can continue, but if he already knows about this matter and has not come up with an attitude, then I would like to have a good talk with him! "
Wei Yan decided to give courtesy first and then soldiers. They are currently in the stage of joint operations. It would be a bit reckless if they directly split with them indiscriminately at this time!
So he wanted to investigate this matter first, to find out how much the Han leader knew about this matter.
After he learned about the specific situation, he made corresponding measures based on what he learned!
"Since the general has a plan, I will wait for the general's dispatch!"
"Well! But don't be idle during this time, no matter whether the food and grass can be recovered, this operation will not be affected by it, so you need to work harder on the preparation of food and grass!
At present, the military supplies of the West Camp are insufficient, and other camps should provide assistance as much as possible. If there is really no solution, you can come to me again!
This time, if I can't regain the food and grass from the Han forces, then I'm afraid there will be no need for me to continue to hold the position of commander-in-chief! "
