After nightfall, snoring sounded one after another in the tent.

Shen Yu couldn't sleep, thinking about what happened in her previous life over and over in her mind.

In her memory, the express delivery back to Shengjing looked like this.

[On October 27, Shen Zhao led his troops to raid the Xijue camp and was trapped. Shen Zhongan led the remaining soldiers to rescue him. However, the supervisor's persuasion failed, and Shen Zhongan rushed in to pursue the trap, killing all 100,000 troops outside the pass. 】

The military newspaper was very vague. No one knew exactly what happened on the front line, because only a few people survived out of a total of 100,000 people.

She had felt something strange in her previous life. She knew her father, he had the most stable temperament, and it was really inappropriate to put the word "advantage" on him.

However, she didn't know much about it until she entered the court. Only after marrying Jiang Lian did she find out some information from him. There might have been a mole in that battle.

Those were 100,000 living soldiers, and there was always someone who had to bear the blame for that battle. Regardless of whether there were any doubts in it, Shen Zhongan became the best candidate for the sinner.

Shen Yu took the initiative to take a job during the day and deliver things to people in various tents. She took the opportunity to thoroughly explore the layout of the camp. Except for the grain and grass department, which was heavily guarded, she did not detect any abnormalities in other places.

Judging from the current situation alone, she could not find any clues of defeat.

The current situation in Yanliang Pass made her run around like a headless fly. She would check wherever she happened to see if she could be prepared, and in the meantime she would sneak out of the camp and go to the city to meet a few people.

At night, the temperature dropped sharply, and a northerly wind came again. There were knives in the wind, which made people's cheeks hurt.

A horse quickly approached the camp. The scout galloped on his horse. When he approached the gate of the camp, he raised his token and said, "Urgent report!"

The guarding soldier checked the token and let people in. The scouts didn't even get off their horses and ran straight to the main tent.

"General! Urgent report!"

Shen Zhongan slept restlessly, and turned over when he heard the voice, "Come in."

The scout knelt down on one knee after entering the door, "General, the team that went to pick up the food was completely wiped out, and there was no trace of the baggage team."

Shen Zhongan looked solemn, casually picked up the cloak and put it on his body, saying, "Let Shen Zhao come to my tent."

Shen Zhao had just gotten up from bed, and the people who called him didn't dare to say anything. Only after entering the tent did he hear Shen Zhongan talk about it.

Shen Zhongan said: "There are not many people in the team to receive the food. It looks like they were robbed and killed by bandits."

Shen Zhao shook his head, "The team that received the food didn't bring anything. Bandits wouldn't do such a thankless job. I'm afraid someone framed them."

The two looked at each other and saw danger signals in each other's eyes.

Shen Zhao rubbed his face vigorously to refresh himself and said: "We must make a quick decision before the remaining food is exhausted. I'm afraid we will have to use the second plan."

Shen Zhongan nodded and summoned the generals to discuss the situation overnight.

In the evening, Yang Bang retreated into his tent.

"This wind is blowing like a knife on my body, it would be better to just fall snow."

You Dazui answered, "Luoxue, that won't work. The troops are being mobilized over there, probably to do something."

Shen Yu has been paying attention to the movements of the military camp, but she has never found any signs of sending troops. Moreover, today is only the 25th. Isn't that two days earlier than in the previous life?

She grabbed You Dazui and said, "What did you say? How do you know?"

You Dazui was startled, "Shh, don't tell anyone. I have a fellow countryman in the forward camp. I told him this when I met him before."

Shen Yu didn't ask any more questions, raised the curtain and went out.

You Dazui shouted from behind: "Don't tell anyone."

Shen Yu was quiet in the wind for a while, and was awakened by the wind. She knew that this could not continue. No matter whether things would develop according to the original route, she had to warn Shen Zhao in advance.

Shen Zhao came out of the main tent and walked to his own tent. On the way, he was thinking about the layout of the battle. As he approached the tent, his eyes flickered casually. After taking two steps, his whole person suddenly froze and looked at him in disbelief. one direction.

The sky was getting dark, and it was impossible to see anyone five meters away.

Shen Zhao took the torch from the door and walked towards the people over there, his face getting darker as he got closer.

When he walked up to the man, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Shen Zhao's chest rose and fell a few times. He raised his hand on the knife and tapped the person twice, "Get in here!"

Shen Yu lowered her head and followed Shen Zhao dejectedly into the tent.

As soon as Shen Zhao entered the tent, he threw his saber on the table and turned around to look at Shen Yu, "You are so brave. You are wearing a military uniform. Where did you steal it?"

"Plucked off the body of a deserter." Shen Yu whispered.

Shen Zhao strode over, wiped the black stain on her face with his sleeves, and scolded: "Look what you have done to yourself?!"

Shen Yu's cheek hurt from being rubbed, so she pushed his hand away and said solemnly: "Brother, don't scold me in a hurry. I have more important things to say now."

Shen Zhao knew her very well. Although she was a joker, she never messed around in important matters.

"What's up?"

"Are you going to raid the Xijue camp tonight?"

Shen Zhao's eyes suddenly darkened and he stared at her for a long time before asking: "Where did you know that?"

"I don't have time to explain to you now," Shen Yu said, "but not tonight."

Shen Zhao turned around and sat on the desk and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Time is not waiting for me. We have no time to waste time with the Xijue people. It will snow soon. Our horses are not cold-resistant, and the Xijue people are in the snow." The battle is better than ours, and besides..."

He did not continue.

Shen Yu approached, "Is it because the food and grass can't hold on?"

Shen Zhao looked up, and Shen Yu ignored the doubts in his eyes and continued: "I have been in the camp for a few days, and I have been paying attention to the movements in the camp, but I haven't kept up with the baggage."

Shen Zhao said seriously: "Except for the first batch, the rest of the grain and grass were all borrowed from Ganzhou Prefecture. There is no surplus grain in the city."

Shen Yu nodded and asked, "How long can the food and grass last?"

"Two days."

Shen Yu said: "There are several small cities in Ganzhou, and further south is Changdu Mansion. We can transport grain from there."

"It's easy for you to say," Shen Zhao added some water to the pot on the stove in the tent, "Where does the food come from? I borrowed the food from Ganzhou Prefecture with an IOU. They understand the meaning of death and coldness. They don't borrow it. No, but people in other cities may not give us face, and there are no granaries in Changdu Prefecture, so they cannot support such a large expenditure. "

"We don't want to borrow it from the Yamen," Shen Yu's eyes were illuminated by the firelight, "Lu's trading companies are all over the Zhou Dynasty, and there are many rice and grain shops among them. We can ask our grandmother in Hezhou to borrow it.

Shen Zhao's eyes brightened for a moment, but then dimmed quickly.

He shook his head and said, "It's too late. Even if we rush to Hezhou non-stop now, it will take at least ten days. In addition, it will take at least half a month to requisition food. We simply can't last that long."

"Five days, we only need to hold on for five more days," Shen Yu said: "I asked Lv Yao to set off for Hezhou four days ago. I am riding my Benxiao. I don't think I can reach Hezhou in four or five days."

"I also have arrangements for Hongqiao. She has rushed to Changdu Mansion with my token in advance, and asked them to start preparing food. As soon as the food from Changdu Mansion arrives, it will be enough for us to last for a few more days. Hezhou will come later. Food and grass will be available."

From the moment she said that Green Medicine had been sent to Hezhou, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Zhao's face.

"How do you know this in advance?"
