"Report" Just as Weiming Ali was thinking there, a person from outside the door ran in like a storm.
"Coach, the man who went out to check the food and grass yesterday is back," the visitor said in a loud voice.
"Call him in" "yes" After a while, a soldier walked in with a tired look.
"For the record, Commander, I searched along the grain road all night yesterday and found no trace of the grain team.
However, I found traces of fighting and some scattered grain halfway along the way."
"What?"
Weiming Ali suddenly stood up.
No trace of the grain team was found, but traces of fighting and scattered grain were found.
If you still don't know what happened, then there is no need to be the coach of Ali.
"How much food do we have?"
Weiming Ali thought for a while and then sat down.
The more times like this, the more calm he, the coach, has to be.
"It's only enough for today.
If no food arrives before dark, we will run out of food early tomorrow morning," the quartermaster replied truthfully.
"Bold" Weiming Ali and other quartermasters finished speaking and slammed the table.
"Why is so much food and fodder for my army missing?
Is it because of corruption?"
Weiming Ali suddenly cursed at the quartermaster.
After hearing this, the quartermaster felt like he was struck by lightning and stood stunned on the spot.
Before the quartermaster could explain, Weiming Ali shouted directly, "Come here, capture this traitor who is greedy for money and food and colludes with the Liangshan bandits, and execute him immediately."
"Commander, please forgive me, my subordinates.
My subordinates are not greedy for money or collusion with bandits."
The quartermaster finally came to his senses and cried out loudly.
At this time, two soldiers walked in quickly from outside the tent, picked up the quartermaster and walked away without giving the quartermaster a chance to defend himself.
"Ah" a scream came from outside the big tent, and then a soldier came in and reported, "Report to the commander, the quartermaster has been executed."
Weiming Ali nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "The general informed the entire army about the needy officials' corruption of food and grass and collusion with the Liangshan bandits.
He also said that the army's food and grass are temporarily insufficient, but new food and grass are on the way.
Please rest assured," The soldier nodded and retreated.
After the soldiers left, Weiming Ali glanced at the soldiers who went out to search last night and said to him, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will chop off your head."
The soldier trembled and replied, "Don't worry, Commander, the little one doesn't know anything."
Weiming Ali nodded and said, "Go down."
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked out.
"Poof" before the soldier could take two steps, a long sword came out of his body.
The soldier turned around with a look of reluctance and saw the expressionless face of Ali Ming and the sword tightly held in his hand.
"Drag him out," Weiming Ali said to the guard who rushed in after hearing the sound.
These guards were all soldiers of Weiming Ali, so they naturally obeyed his words.
No one said anything and they just picked up the soldier's body and walked out.
It is not a trivial matter for food and grass to be robbed.
Food must be obtained in a short time.
"Here comes" Weiming Ali shouted outside the tent again.
The guard came in and Weiming Ali ordered: "Immediately send someone back to the country to collect food supplies, and tell the king to send more escorts."
In addition, they sent people to borrow food from the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.
Since they were allies, they should act like an alliance.
Finally, troops were sent to plunder the villages around Fenzhou City and the poorly guarded county towns to relieve the urgent need."
Whether it is urging Xixia to send more food or borrowing food from the Western Army, water from afar cannot quench the thirst nearby, so sending troops out to grab food is the fastest way.

However, long before the Western Army arrived, the nearby people had been moved to the city by Liangshan, and the nearby small counties also sent additional manpower, so it was not easy to rely on grabbing food to maintain the food of hundreds of thousands of troops.
A feasible method, but it's better than nothing.
If you can grab some, it's better than nothing.
"Yes."
The guard wrote down what Weiming Ali said one by one, and then quickly went down to arrange manpower.
"Damn it!"
Ali Ming slammed the table hard.
"My name is General Li Ming."
Weiming Ali knew that Liangshan could rob him of food once or twice, so he had to find a way to eliminate those who went out to rob the city.
Soon a Xixia general named Li Ming came in.
"The coach is looking for me," Li Ming asked, clasping his fists.
Weiming Ali looked at Li Ming, nodded and then gave instructions.
There is a village thirty or forty miles away from the Xixia grain road.
At this time, the people in the village have already moved to nearby cities, so now the whole village is empty.
In a larger house in the village, Xu Jin asked the men around him, "Have the people sent out come back?"
"Not yet" one of his subordinates replied respectfully.
After the discussion between Guan Sheng and others that day, Guan Sheng sent Xu Jin and three thousand cavalry to quietly leave the city to plunder Xixia's grain and baggage.
The night before yesterday, they successfully robbed Xixia's grain transport team.
Due to the sudden arrival and the large number of troops, no one in Xixia's grain transport team could escape, and they were all killed or captured alive.
As for the food, it was also taken to this small village and hidden.
Not long after, a soldier walked in, and Xu Jin saw that it was the person he sent to find out the news.
"How's it going?
Is there any action by the Xixia Army?"
Xu Jin asked this man.
"Back to Chief Xu, the Xixia Army has sent several small teams to the surrounding area of Fenzhou City.
It seems they are going to grab food," the soldier replied with a smile.
"Humph, Brother Guan had already expected them to go grab food.
When we came out, Brother Chen Xuan led his men to ambush.
It seems that the Xixia soldiers are going to suffer again," Xu Jin said to several of his subordinates with a smile.
"Haha, these Xixia thieves really don't know the heights of the world.
This time we must make it impossible for them to come back," a subordinate said bitterly.
"Okay, take the time to rest, and send a few more people out to guard, and send a few more people to the Xixia direction to keep an eye on it.
Once more food comes, report it quickly so that we can start robbing again," Xu Jin ordered to several of his men. road.
"Yes."
After hearing this, several people accepted the order and then went down to arrange manpower.
Xu Jin looked at his departing men and sighed secretly in his heart.
When he surrendered to Liangshan with Ma Ling, he was still a little reluctant, but after getting along with each other for the past two years, Xu Jin felt more and more that Ma Ling's decision was too correct.
People who are not from Liangshan will never know how powerful Liangshan is.
Even if outsiders think very highly of Liangshan, it is still not enough.
Liangshan is strong not because of its large number of soldiers, but because of its unity.
If any of the five fingers is stretched out alone, it is easy to be injured.
Only when they are tightly clenched together into a fist can the maximum strength be exerted.
After Xu Jin thought about it, he clenched his fist hard.
On the road twenty or thirty miles away from Fenzhou City, a group of two hundred Xixia soldiers were walking.
This was just one of many small teams ordered to come out to grab food
