Shentu Li raised his head and looked at Guan Sheng and said, "Brothers, I'm thinking about Xixia's food and grass problem."
Guan Sheng and Sun Anting's eyes lit up completely and they looked at each other.
Although Shentu Li just said a simple sentence, they all understood the meaning of this sentence.
Xixia's 150,000-strong army attacked Fenzhou, and they consumed a huge amount of food and grass every day.
It was impossible for Xixia to take all the food and grass with them, and there was no way to do so, so they would come from Xixia's country every few days.
Escort a batch of grain and grass.
There is a fixed route for escorting grain and grass, called a grain route.
This grain route has been determined before the army sets out, and will not be changed easily unless there are special circumstances.
"Cut the enemy's food route" Guan Sheng and Sun An said these four words in their minds at the same time.
"Hahahaha, wonderful, wonderful" Guan Sheng laughed loudly.
The next day, as Sun An expected, Xixia began to use troops to siege the city, but instead of surrounding it on all sides, they adopted a siege of three and one missing.
When Guan Sheng saw the Xixia siege, he shook his head contemptuously and said to Sun An, "I thought the Xixia coach was a difficult opponent, but today I saw nothing like this."
Sun An nodded and replied, "Yes, when his strength was obviously higher than ours, he did not choose to surround Fenzhou City but instead surrounded three and one.
It seems that he did not have enough confidence in his ability to win."
"Hmph, it should be said that he is self-aware."
Guan Sheng's hatred for Xixia was much greater than that of Liao.
"I am guarding this place.
My brother will lead people to guard the back city gate.
Brother Wu Neng will guard the left side.
Brothers Huaiying and Shentu Li will guard the right side."
Although there was only one person missing, Guan Sheng still arranged people on all sides.
Sun An and others took the order and left.
Not long after, the sound of trumpets came from the Xixia camp, and soon the army was assembled.
Weiming Ali looked at Fenzhou City with satisfaction and said to the generals around him, "I will capture Fenzhou within three days, and then massacre everyone in the city to let them know the consequences of offending me, Xixia."
"That's right, in the end, I will burn Fenzhou City to ashes with another fire, so as to avenge the burning of Xiazhou before."
One of the generals also said harshly.
"Send the order, attack the city" Weiming Ali shouted with bright eyes.
A new round of siege begins For three days in a row, Weiming Ali attacked Fenzhou City crazily.
He had some reservations in the first two days, but by the third day he had tried his best.
It can be said that except for Weiming Ali's five thousand personal soldiers and 20,000 reserve soldiers, almost all the soldiers participated in the siege.
What depresses Weiming Ali the most is that Fenzhou City has looked shaky since the first day, but now it is getting dark on the third day, and Fenzhou City is still like this.
In other words, Xixia had been attacking for three days, but in fact there was no substantial progress at all.
"Ding ding ding" Weiming Ali helplessly ordered to withdraw his troops.
After three consecutive days of strong attack, not to mention the Liangshan soldiers, even the Xixia soldiers were a little overwhelmed.
Weiming Ali returned to the battle angrily.
He couldn't understand why he couldn't take down the city even though he had already attacked it several times.
At this time, a quartermaster came in, and his heart trembled when he saw Wei Ming Ali with an angry face, and then he said bravely, "Commander, there is not much food in the army."
Weiming Ali was furious.
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Stop bothering me with these trivial matters and go out."
The quartermaster was startled, tremblingly said goodbye, and then slowly retreated out of the door.
Just when the quartermaster was about to reach the door, Weiming Ali seemed to realize something and shouted "Wait a minute" The quartermaster was frightened by the shout.
He quickly turned around and bowed and asked, "What else does the commander have to say?"
"What did you just say?"
Weiming Ali asked with a frown.
"My subordinates asked the commander if he had any other orders."

The quartermaster didn't understand what Weiming Ali meant, so he repeated what he had just said.
"That's not what I said, I just said it when I entered the door," Weiming Ali said in a somewhat unkind tone.
"Oh, back to the commander, the army is running out of food," the quartermaster responded hurriedly.
Weiming Ali frowned even more and asked doubtfully, "Why are we running out of food?
How long can we last with the food we have now?"
"That's right, the day before yesterday was originally the day when a new batch of grain and grass was delivered, but the grain and grass have not been delivered yet.
As for the food and grass left in the army now, if we save a little, it will only be enough for one day tomorrow," the quartermaster replied truthfully.
"Why didn't you report the lack of food and grass earlier?"
Weiming Ali certainly knew what the lack of food meant to the army.
The quartermaster was frightened and hurriedly explained, "The food and grass were delivered a day late in the past, so the subordinates were not worried, thinking that it would be delivered today, but now the food and grass have not been delivered.
The subordinates were afraid that something might happen to the food and grass, so they hurriedly Come and report” The army usually prepares enough food for the entire army for three days, just to prevent the food from being delayed by one day due to any accidents on the way.
This kind of thing is normal, so the quartermaster's approach is not wrong.
"Here comes" Weiming Ali shouted loudly outside the tent.
A guard heard the shout and hurriedly came in, "What's the matter, coach?"
"Immediately send someone to check along the grain road to see where the grain and grass have arrived and why it has not arrived yet," Weiming Ali ordered.
"Yes" the guard agreed and hurried out to deliver the order.
"You go down first and replace it with dendrobium for the next two days.
When the new food arrives, you can change it back.
Remember not to tell the soldiers about the lack of food," Weiming Ali told the quartermaster.
"Follow your orders, and your subordinates will be saved."
The quartermaster took the order and retreated.
Weiming Ali shook his head and put aside the matter of food and grass.
He didn't take it to heart, but sat there and thought about the attack on the city.
At dinner time, the quartermaster followed Weiming Ali's instructions and changed the rice from big dendrobium to small dendrobium.
Moreover, the porridge was much thinner and the steamed buns were reduced in size.
After the soldiers finished their meal, they all complained about the steamed buns that were only half the size of a fist and the gruel with only a few grains of rice.
Their dissatisfaction quickly spread.
Early the next morning, the quartermaster came to the big tent again and respectfully asked Weiming Ali, "Commander, I wonder if there is any news about the food and grass?"
The soldiers had already complained a lot last night.
If the food and grass don't come today, I'm worried that the soldiers' dissatisfaction will be even worse."
"Why hasn't the food and grass arrived yet?"
Weiming Ali put the matter down after giving his instructions yesterday.
He thought the food and grass had already arrived.
"Here comes" Weiming Ali called the guard in again and asked, "Have the people sent to check yesterday come back?"
The guard shook his head and replied, "Go back to the coach, he's not back yet."
After hearing this, Weiming Ali suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart
