Chapter 181 A Mistake
Jiang Tangtang was suddenly shocked. Could that team be Lu Shili's grain transport team?
Seeing her expression change, Lu Shiyan quickly comforted her, "Don't panic, I'll send someone over right away."
Food and fodder are of great importance. Regardless of whether it is Lu Shili or not, Lu Shiyan has to arrange a rescue.
Jiang Tangtang knew she couldn't help, so she said quickly, "I'm fine, go ahead, don't worry about me."
Lu Shiyan looked at her deeply, said nothing more, put on his armor and strode out of the tent.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the steamed bun in her hand, sighed, and slowly began to bite it.
She hadn't eaten such unpalatable whole grains for a long time.
But many people couldn't even eat such unpalatable coarse grains. She looked at the soldiers standing straight outside the tent, feeling very sad.
These soldiers who fought desperately on the front line couldn't even fill their stomachs.
She clenched her fists tightly. She had to make sure they had food. She couldn't let these soldiers on the front line go hungry.
She called Yuan San over and said, "Do you know which families have the most money and food? Especially those closer to the camp."
"Aside from the Ying and Fu merchants, the ones with the most money and grain are Prefect Xiang and several generals. The Ying family was raided by the lord for reselling iron ore and colluding with pirates. Their grain and money must have been used to subsidize the army. The wealthy families closest to the camp should be the Song and Fu families..."
After Yuan San finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Tangtang cautiously. Could it be that his wife wanted to take them to rob food?
Jiang Tangtang really wanted to steal food.
Compared to opening up trade routes and transporting grain in from outside, how could it be faster to take it from these parasites?
But she didn't plan to bring a large group of people to rob.
Not to mention that she didn't have enough manpower to transport the food out perfectly after stealing it.
Besides, it would be bad to openly seize food like this. Wouldn't that just give the other party a handle?
She would not do such a stupid thing.
But she had the space, so it was easy for her to take the food away without anyone noticing.
All we have to do is find a way to get into these people's granary.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tangtang immediately ordered Yuan San to take people to check where each family's granary was located and how it was guarded on a daily basis...
Yuan Sanwei said in embarrassment: "But if we all leave, what will you do?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "Don't you see where I am now? If you can't guarantee my safety here, what's the point of having you guys here?"
After hearing what Jiang Tangtang said, Yuan San no longer hesitated and immediately took his men and set off.
After Yuan San left, Jiang Tangtang was not idle either.
It was not convenient for her to take out too much food, but she could still take out some fruit tea bags and make a pot of tea for the soldiers.
Jiang Tangtang found a carriage and took out two jars from the space under the cover of the carriage.
Then he carried the jar to the kitchen.
The soldiers in the kitchen were all very nervous when they saw Jiang Tangtang coming. They were all old people who had followed Lu Shiyan, and most of them had been saved by Lu Shiyan. In addition to admiration for Lu Shiyan, they were also very grateful to him.
They all wanted to treat Jiang Tangtang with good food, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice.
This time, when he saw Jiang Tangtang coming to the kitchen, he just thought she was not satisfied with the meal.
Zhang Ming, the head of the kitchen, rubbed his hands repeatedly and said, "Madam, you didn't eat enough of the food that was just delivered, did you? It's true that the master's order was given in such a hurry that we couldn't prepare anything decent at the moment. However, I have arranged for Xiaoliu to take people to the back mountains to hunt. Please wait a moment, and the meat will be brought to you soon."
Jiang Tangtang didn't expect that they would go hunting in the back mountain just for her. She was touched but also felt deeply guilty.
Thanks to the good modern education and environment, her knowledge is far broader than that of people of this era, and she even carries with her a miraculous artifact called space.
But she had these unique conditions, but she did nothing for these people. For a long time, she only thought about herself and how to live her life well.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang thought a lot.
Since God has given her space and she is in such a sensitive position, she should make good use of the space in her hands and do more for the people and the country!
They strive to ensure that the soldiers and civilians under their command have enough food and clothing.
She said, "I'm full, don't bother me. I heard there's going to be another battle up ahead, and seeing how hard everyone is working, I wanted to make some fruit tea for everyone."
When Zhang Ming heard that Jiang Tangtang was going to make fruit tea, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Who among the old people of Lu Shiyan doesn't know that his wife is clever and has first-class cooking skills?
He also drank the fruit tea brought by Lu Shiyan once, and when he thinks about it now, it is still fresh in his memory.
The lady actually said that she wanted to cook such a precious thing and feed it to the soldiers.
He was shocked and couldn't help sighing in his heart, she is worthy of being the wife of the God of War, she is so generous.
Zhang Ming sighed in his heart and quickly ordered people to fetch water and light a fire.
The soldiers in the kitchen became busy.
It is actually very simple to make fruit tea. Just put the fruit tea prepared earlier into a large pot and boil it.
The fruit tea that Jiang Tangtang brought this time was different from the dried fruits she brought in the past. This time it was fresh fruits soaked in sugar.
The sugar used to soak the fresh fruits is made from sugarcane harvested in the space and boiled by ourselves. This kind of sugar tastes even more fragrant when mixed with passion fruit, lemon, kiwi, orange and other fruits.
As soon as the jar was opened, everyone took a deep breath at the sweet fruity aroma coming out.
The aroma of fruit tea drifted out from the kitchen, and the soldiers in the camp sniffed in response to the aroma.
However, Lu Shiyan trained his soldiers strictly, and no soldier left his post because of the fragrance. However, several South Vietnamese soldiers hiding in the woods could not resist the aroma.
"What are those remaining soldiers cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
Yin Hongchai cursed Lu Shiyan while slurring his saliva, then suddenly said, "That's not right! Captain, didn't they say they were short of food and couldn't hold out for a few days?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone chimed in in agreement, "Could it be that that treacherous villain Lu Shiyan deliberately spread false news to trick us?"
The reason why Lu Shiyan was able to hold the three passes with a group of remnants of the army was entirely due to his intelligence and strategy.
During the war with the South Vietnamese, he often spread false information and used strategies to weaken the South Vietnamese troops.
The people of South Vietnam have suffered a lot at his hands, so much so that they are now a little paranoid.
Zhao Yuanliang pondered for a moment and then said, "It's a trick. Quickly inform the general and tell him to withdraw his troops immediately. That grain delivery team might be another conspiracy by the Lu family kid."
Yin Hongchai panicked and was about to run, but after taking two steps, he thought, "What about our original plan to lure away most of their troops and then attack the main camp?"
Zhao Yuanliang cursed angrily, "What a bullshit attack! That kid named Lu has obviously seen through our plot and deliberately laid the bait to lure us in! If we run into him now, wouldn't that be playing right into his hands?"
