Chapter 586: Divide and Depart
Sun Congyi: "But our food supplies are almost gone." How can we fight this battle without food supplies? Are we going to fight on an empty stomach?
"Don't worry, we have prepared food and fodder for you."
Sun Congyi: Ready? Where is it?
"You just need to get it yourself." Qin Zhao said maliciously.
"Take it yourself. Tell me where it is."
Qin Zhao: "It's in Chu County, Jiujiang Commandery. Mr. Guo will tell you the exact location later."
Jiujiang County is right next door, and Chu County is not far from Jiankang.
As the saying goes, food and supplies must be sent before troops move out.
After hearing this, Sun Congyi realized that the governor had already prepared spare food and fodder for them.
Sun Congyi thought that when Pingzhou decided to march to the East China Sea, it was still in an alliance with Xie Zhan, the ruler of the South at that time.
At this time, Sun Congyi just wanted to shout, the governor is mighty.
After all, under such circumstances, Pingzhou still secretly kept this trick. It must be said that the person in charge was thoughtful and far-sighted.
He looked at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng noticed his gaze and looked over at him.
"This is Lu Erjie." Sun Congyi gave him a thumbs up.
Qin Sheng smiled reservedly when his wife was praised.
So aloof? Sun Congyi looked at him again, feeling curious. He seemed to see a tail wagging behind Qin Liuye.
Qin Zhao then explained his plan to them, saying, "...This is the plan. The imperial army is now encircling the Prince of Jin and us from three directions, leaving our rear defenses vulnerable. All you have to do is penetrate their battle lines and form a counter-encirclement from behind, and the situation will be resolved."
They haven't been idle during this period. They've been collecting information, surveying routes, and making plans...
Upon hearing this, the generals present were all filled with fighting spirit.
Qin Zhao and Guo Chong looked at each other, and the morale of the army was boosted!
Qin Zhao immediately said, "Now, Qin Sheng, Yue Shu, and Sun Congyi, listen to my orders!"
The three stepped forward and said in unison, "We obey your orders!"
"Qin Sheng, Yue Shu, and Sun Congyi, the three of you will lead your respective armies and set off..."
"I obey your command."
At this time, Guo Chong smiled and said, "We have laid out three paths for you. You can choose one."
In order to break out of the encirclement of the imperial army, their three armies could not take only one route, as that would make their targets too obvious.
It is safest to go separately.
For this reason, when Guo Chong went to see King Jin last time, he privately borrowed a road from Bai Xingzhi and prepared a total of three secret roads for them to go to Chu County.
As for how to choose, Qin Zhao and Guo Chong did not get involved.
Before leaving, Qin Zhao said meaningfully, "Once you have chosen your path, set off. The early bird catches the worm."
Qin Sheng said that he would leave Chen Wei, Leng Feng and other good water players to Lin Shan.
Sun Congyi's eyes widened. In this way, wouldn't their Jintai army be short of many people?
Qin Sheng said, "We still have people in Jurong County."
Sun Congyi: "You are developing so fast." They have only been in Donghai for a short time, but they have already formed a small team.
Having said that, it’s time to choose a path.
"How about we draw lots?" Sun Congyi was eager to try.
Yue Shu: ...
He glanced at Sixth Master, then at Sun Congyi, "Are you sure you want to choose the route this way?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Sun Congyi was puzzled.
Yue Shu: Let’s draw lots. Who can win over Sixth Master?
Qin Sheng then said, "You two choose first, I'm fine with either path."
Sun Congyi was young, so Yue Shu politely let him choose. "Young General Sun, you choose first."
Sun Congyi: "That's so embarrassing. I'll take the Jianyang route then."
He had looked at it and found that this was the fastest of the three routes to Chu County, hehe.
Yue Shu then chose the northern route, and Qin Sheng nodded and chose the southern route. The southern route was the most difficult, but he still had to return to the village to bring his men down, so the southern route was perfect.
As soon as the meeting was over, Sun Congyi immediately called Muye and asked the soldiers to cook. They would set off as soon as dusk fell.
Makino: "So urgent?"
Sun Congyi replied, "Before departure, Third Brother Qin will only provide three days of military supplies."
"ah?"
"If we can't reach the designated location in three days, we'll have to fend for ourselves or starve." Before Muye could react, Sun Congyi continued, "And from what Third Brother Qin said, there's a reason for arriving in Chuzhou, so we have to hurry."
Makino thought, Oh my god, it's killing me! Is this the speed of Pingzhou?
Before setting off, Sun Congyi took Muye to the engineering camp. This time the large army would be equipped with a certain number of engineers and corresponding tools.
Lu Mingzhi was distributing tools to the three armies in the engineering battalion.
Sun Congyi stepped forward and put his arm around Lu Mingzhi's neck. "Brother, are you a good brother? If you are, then walk with me."
Lu Mingzhi: No, he plans to follow his second brother-in-law!
Muye stopped Sun Congyi and said, "Alright, Brother Lu has already decided on his team, don't force him. A forced melon is not sweet."
Muye knew very well that Lu Mingzhi was the governor's brother, so the best options were to follow the main force or his brother-in-law. Although they were confident they could protect him, who could say what would happen unexpectedly?
At nightfall, Qin Sheng took away his Jintai Army; Sun Congyi took away his Sun Family Army; the remaining Pingzhou expeditionary force was divided into two, with Yue Shu taking away half; while Qin Zhao, Guo Chong and Lin Shan stayed behind in Dongtai County.
All three teams were sent out.
The base camp in Dongtai County still maintains daily training, but the training location has been moved to a valley not far away. They are even required to shout out loud during the training, so that the training appears more powerful.
Qin Sheng led them to Baihu Village.
Xiong Feiping was completely dazed, as if he hadn't recovered yet. But now he was going back to the village, which was great.
The deputy gang leader whispered to Xiong Feiping, "I'm afraid our Fourth Master has some connections with the Pingzhou forces."
The deputy gang leader was not unaware of this along the way.
Xiong Feiping didn't understand why the deputy village chief said this to him. He only had one thought now, "Isn't this good?"
Many places bully the newcomers. Since they have decided to join Pingzhou, the Fourth Master has connections with Pingzhou and will definitely not let them suffer any losses.
As soon as they returned, they received a warm welcome.
"Deputy Gang Leader, Fourth Boss, you're finally back." They were really looking forward to seeing them. If they didn't come back, their village would be out of food.
Now the food supply in the entire East China Sea has suddenly become tight. Even if they want to grab it, there is no food for them to grab.
"How is it?" Wen Hu looked at them expectantly. The deputy village chief and the fourth in command went out to earn food. The question now is, did they earn the food back?
Qin Sheng nodded, "I've already found the location to get the food. It's in Chu County."
Everyone was very happy to hear this. Chu County was not far away, so they could go there!
"Chief, shall we set off now?"
"Can."
"Alright then, follow me. I'll take you to get some food and get some military merits along the way!"
