Chapter 54 Oh no, General, there’s a fire!
"What a nice smell, Jing Anping, what are you doing?"
Jing Anping was opening the lunch boxes one by one and placing the dishes inside on the table one by one when he heard Feiying's voice and turned around.
"You're awake. Just in time. The breakfast has just been delivered. Eat it while it's hot."
Feiying came to the table and looked at the extremely sumptuous meal.
This is the most appetizing thing I have seen since I started my military campaign.
"Jing Anping, what are you crazy about? There isn't enough food and supplies, yet you're still squandering it like this."
Jing Anping came behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, and pushed her down to sit.
"Just eat without worry. Just indulge in this one meal. You won't waste anything."
"Even if that's the case, there are too many of these."
When she looked carefully, she saw all kinds of breakfast available.
Not to mention two people, it's almost enough for ten people.
At this time, Lu Long walked in after knocking on the door and getting a response. He originally wanted to tell Feiying that after a whole night of searching, they finally found the trace of the enemy. However, Jing Anping looked at him with cold eyes. He felt inexplicably pressured and didn't say anything.
"General Lu, you've arrived just in time. Please call the other five over to have breakfast together."
"General Mu, no, you should have breakfast with the prince."
"If I tell you to call for help, just go ahead and treat it as a military order. Do you want to disobey it?"
"Yes, General, Lu Long obeys your orders."
Lu Long went out.
Soon, he came back with five other generals.
They all followed Feiying's arrangements, sat down, and started eating together.
Feiying ate with them the whole time while discussing how to seize the enemy's food and fodder, not caring at all that Jing Anping had a gloomy face on the side. Every bite of the bun she took was like biting someone.
When she knew that they had basically found the enemy's retreat trajectory, she immediately ordered that more people must be sent after dinner to find the enemy's camp as quickly as possible so that they could carry out the next operation to seize food and grass.
After receiving the order, the six generals all sped up their eating and then hurried to complete the orders.
It took them a day to find the location of the enemy's new camp.
This time they followed Feiying's instructions and arranged for people to take turns guarding here to avoid the situation like last time, when the army arrived and the tent was empty.
"General Mu, the soldiers are ready and can set out again to rob food and fodder at any time."
"Is there any unusual movement from the enemy this time?"
"No, please rest assured, General Mu, we have people watching over it."
"Okay, let's avoid unnecessary complications and take action tonight."
At night, as before, they headed towards the enemy camp.
Suddenly, someone turned around unconsciously and shouted in shock: "Oh no, General Mu, look over there, it looks like there's a fire!"
After hearing this, Feiying and the others looked in the direction where the night sky was red and filled with thick smoke.
She frowned and said, "This is the direction of Fuxin City!"
"Is there a flood in Fuxin City?"
"Could it be that the enemy attacked Fuxin City?"
There is no way to verify their speculations unless they go and see it in person.
Fearing that something serious might happen in Fuxin City, they had to give up the mission of seizing food and fodder tonight and rode back at full speed.
When we arrived in front of the city, we saw flames rising into the sky and black smoke billowing. Something had indeed happened.
But I didn't see any enemy troops, so I was relieved.
Otherwise, with the big fire and the enemy army, I would be too busy to handle it.
Feiying immediately ordered people to go into the city to help put out the fire.
After all, there were 120,000 troops in the city. Although the fire was wide and large, it was completely extinguished at dawn.
But Feiying couldn't be happy when she saw the city in ruins after the fire and the people in the city who were displaced and homeless.
Looking at this scene, even Jing Anping frowned: "How come the whole city is suddenly flooded?"
"We don't know yet, but we should settle the people first."
So General Feiying gave the order and the army got busy.
Soon the people were living in temporary tents, and those with injuries were treated and bandaged by the accompanying military doctors.
But in fact, these aspects are very easy to achieve. The only difficulty is still the problem of food and fodder.
The army already had insufficient food, and now they had to feed the people. It was even less than enough, and I was afraid they couldn't even last three days.
They had no choice but to plan to seize the enemy's food and supplies.
But based on her experience, Feiying always felt that these two actions to rob the enemy's food and supplies revealed something weird.
The first time, when they arrived, the tent was empty and there was no food or fodder at all, leaving them with nothing.
The second time, before they reached the enemy's camp, the entire city of Fuxin was flooded.
Behind these two food robberies, there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing everything from behind.
There is only one possibility that could lead to such a result.
After hearing Feiying's words, Jing Anping was shocked: "You said there is a traitor in the army?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, are you afraid the traitor can't hear you?"
Only then did Jing Anping lower his voice.
"Who do you think this traitor is?"
"We still don't know yet, but if we want to rob the enemy's food and grass, we must avoid the sight of the traitors before we can act. Otherwise, before your majesty's food and grass arrives, the army and the people of Fuxin City will starve to death."
Feiying continued, "As for how to avoid the sight of the traitor, I plan to lead the troops secretly the next time I rob food and grass. As for why I told you this, it's because Jing Anping, I trust you. You have to help stabilize the army and the traitor when I take action."
Hearing that Feiying trusted him, he felt inexplicably happy.
"In fact, it would be best if you did not bring any troops with you, lest there be traitors among them."
"What you said does make sense, but I can't do it alone. I have to kill the enemy to attract attention, and I have to seize food and grass at the same time."
Jing Anping smiled mysteriously at this time: "Have you forgotten about the private armies I raised as an official?"
"Of course I remember."
Feiying suddenly thought of something at this moment: "Did you bring your private army with you on this expedition?"
"Of course, this is a battlefield where all kinds of unknown possibilities may happen, so we naturally have to make preparations. I have kept them as eunuchs for so long, and it is time for them to do something for me."
"I will stay in the city to cover you, just go ahead and do it."
Feiying raised her eyebrows and said, "You asked me to lead your private army to fight, but you should know that we will face at least 100,000 enemy troops. Aren't you afraid that the number of your private army will be reduced? After that, you will have to raise them again. If you want to raise troops, you will have to wait for an unknown amount of time."
