Qin Zheng laughed grimly a few times, "Haha, good, good, good, now everyone really dares to challenge this general, I don't know who is in charge of this camp now!
Since you are so unruly, this is just as well. This general has already petitioned the Emperor a while ago, requesting that your Chu Army be separated from the main camp.
Since you are so undisciplined, there is no need for discipline. Moreover, I have already received the Emperor's approval for this matter.
So from now on, you will be independent and it is up to you to do whatever you want.
Just one thing, don't even think about interfering in my camp! From now on, the abandoned camp to the west is yours.
You can leave now, and you will take care of yourself for the rest of your life!"
Qin Zheng spoke in a high-sounding manner, but his eyes could not hide the viciousness and gloating.
Xue Zhining was stunned for a moment. She never expected him to do this. Qin Zheng had tried his best to gain command of the Chu family army.
Now, he actually took the initiative to split up the Chu family army?
She felt that this matter was not normal.
Chu Yu seemed to have thought of something, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, but he was not panicked.
"Okay, since General Qin has said so, then we naturally have no objection. It's just right that today everyone can bear witness. From today on, the Chu Family Army and the Northern Defense Army led by General Qin will no longer have any connection!
Everyone in the Chu Family Army, immediately prepare your equipment and follow me!"
The people of the Chu family army had long looked down on Qin Zheng. When they heard that they were going to separate completely, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, they really wanted to cheer.
Now hearing Chu Yu's voice, everyone immediately took action, dispersed and returned to their tents, immediately collected their equipment and prepared to set off.
However, before leaving, some people naturally thought of other issues.
"Hey, that's not right. We can't just take our equipment with us when we leave. We have to take food and fodder with us as well! Can we then fire on our own?"
"Yes, but I didn't seem to hear General Qin mention this just now. Could he have forgotten?"
"Oh, forget it. He probably didn't intend to give it to us! Just wait and see if you don't believe me. Otherwise, why would he let us go so readily?"
......
I have to say, they guessed it right.
Qin Zheng had no intention of letting them take the food and supplies away.
He had tried every possible way before, but still couldn't win back the hearts of the Chu family army.
In that case, let them experience what it feels like to be ignored.
He deliberately exploited a loophole to withhold the Chu family army's food and wages. He wanted to see how long so many people could last!
When everyone was about to leave, Chu Yu glanced at Qin Zheng's smug face, and then, as if he had never thought about this problem at all, he turned around and led his men out of the military camp and headed to the abandoned military camp in the west.
There had been a big fire here, and many tents had been burned to pieces.
Fortunately, it is summer now, so I don’t have to worry about the cold.
Chu Yu pointed to a few relatively intact tents and said, "Those who are not feeling well and the wounded soldiers from before are now being accommodated in those tents.
Senior sister, please send someone to deal with the food and tent issues as soon as possible. At least bring back today's food first. We won't have to go hungry.
In addition, special attention should be paid to water. From now on, do not fetch water from the nearby tents. Instead, arrange for people to fetch water from the river in the south.
Although it's a little far, at least it's safe.
Besides, we don't have anything else to do these days, so we'll arrange for a few people to go directly to our camp and see if they can dig a simple well."
Although river water can be used, it is outside after all, so it is not very safe and it is more troublesome to use water.
The best way is to have it in your own camp.
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone became excited and raised their hands excitedly.
"Major General! My, my, my! My family is a family of well diggers, I know how to dig wells! I'm capable!"
"And me, I can do it too. I'm not very skilled, but I can help out no problem!"
"Yeah, and there should actually be an abandoned well here, maybe it would save us a lot of trouble!"
Everyone was discussing at once, but Chu Yu didn't get annoyed and let them talk freely.
In the end, Chu Yu didn't need to say anything, several people who claimed to know how to dig wells had already formed a group and went to the old well to check the situation.
To be honest, this was the first time Chu Yu saw the Chu family army so excited and comfortable in all the time he had been here. He was a little dazed for a moment.
Xue Zhining quickly arranged things and came back to see Chu Yu in a daze. She seemed to have guessed what he was thinking about, so she turned around and stood side by side with him.
“In fact, when Master was here, they were even more unscrupulous, daring to say anything and do anything.
But they never do anything wrong. I once asked my master, since they are soldiers and live in a military camp, shouldn’t they be more serious?
At that time, the master smiled and said as if jokingly that she had never considered these soldiers as her subordinates.
More of them are brothers who live and die together.
She said that although the old general had only one daughter, she had countless brothers and sisters.
They are the only ones who can unconditionally trust her every instruction on the battlefield and complete the tasks she assigns even at the cost of their lives.
It was precisely because of her enthusiasm that the Chu family army accepted this female general, who became the sharpest weapon under her command.
They have always called you Major General, and that's because of Master. But I think what Master wants to hear most is them calling you General Chu.
It's a long road, but you're already halfway there.
Okay, I have to get busy too. Call me if you need anything!"
After saying that, Xue Zhining patted his shoulder, turned around and left with big strides, leaving Chu Yu alone, staring at the busy crowd in a daze.
Xue Zhining acted quickly and bought a lot of food from the surrounding villages and towns.
That night, the Chu family army had a full meal for the first time.
It’s just that everyone was talking and laughing happily during the meal, but after waking up from a nap, they found that the number of people falling ill had doubled overnight?
Everyone was running around in a hurry, some were cooking porridge, some were fetching water, some were washing clothes, some were boiling medicine, everyone was so busy that they had no time to rest.
Chu Yu walked around among all the tents, looking at the soldiers who were chatting and laughing yesterday, now pale, vomiting, and in pain. He felt anxious just watching them.
The doctor took the pulses one by one, his brows furrowed the whole time.
Chu Yu was afraid of affecting everyone's mood, so he pulled the doctor back to his tent.
"What's going on? How are they now? Is it serious? Are they poisoned or something?"
