Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 670 Do you think they have a chance of winning?

In the second half of the night, there was another noise, but still no one was seen.

The military advisor frowned and said:

"They did this on purpose, just to wear us down and not let us rest properly.

If we let our guard down in a few days, they will definitely take the opportunity to rush in."

Jiang Lin said on the side:

"Not only the Xiongnu, but also the Parthian Empire has joined forces with them, and these two countries have joined forces to deal with us.

What should we do now?"

Then someone said, "I think the best way is to take the initiative. In this situation, they can afford to waste time, but we may not."

The military advisor looked at him and said, "Where are you from, little soldier? You have no right to speak here."

Huo Jun said calmly, "This is the new military advisor named Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing, tell me what you think."

Zhou Jing said:

"The Parthians and the Xiongnu are determined to bring us down, and the harassment they've been doing these past few days is just the beginning.

They blow trumpets and beat gongs at night to prevent us from sleeping, and send small teams to provoke us during the day. If they continue like this, the brothers will be too tired to lift their swords, and their food and supplies will almost run out.

If that happens, we will collapse on our own without them having to fight us."

He took out the map and said:

"This is where the Xiongnu's food supplies are. We just need to go around the Black Wind Mountain on the east side.

Or we can go through the narrow valley on the west side. As long as we can tear open a gap and break in, the food and fodder inside will be enough for us to last for two months, so we can catch our breath."

The military advisor sneered and tapped the wolf-hair brush on the table:

"You think it's too easy. We've definitely considered this method before. Do you know where the granary is built?"

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one plank road leading to the outside world, and both sides of the plank road are full of rolling stone traps.

The troops guarding the grain are the Xiongnu's most elite troops. To force your way through would be to die."

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "I have my own way. I only need 1000 people to take it down."

The military advisor sneered:

"1000 people? Even if I gave you 2, you might not be able to get through this barrier.

It's just that our brothers' lives were lost in vain!"

Several generals around nodded repeatedly:

“What the military advisor said is true, this is simply an impossible task!

Who doesn't know that this pass is full of Xiongnu soldiers?"

One of them lowered his voice, with a bit of fear in his tone:

"Do you know how many Xiongnu soldiers are gathered here? There are at least 100,000 of them!

With such a huge disparity in military strength, sending troops rashly would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, with no return!"

Zhou Jing said loudly:

"You don't need to boost others' ambitions!

I, Zhou Jing, can guarantee that as long as I take these 1000 people out, we will be able to take this place down!

Even if I really can't get the food back, I will definitely set a fire and burn all the food they have stored!

Cut off their supplies and see how long they can hold out!"

Huo Jun nodded and said, "You decide!"

Zhou Jing clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders."

The military advisor sighed and said:

"Humph, 1000 people want to overthrow the camp of 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers? I'm afraid they drank too much last night and still haven't woken up.

I think he has a gambler's mentality, hoping to gain fame and fortune with this one-shot deal, without caring about the lives of his subordinates.

Several generals nearby also nodded, their eyes full of mockery:

"Isn't it? Do you really think the Xiongnu are made of clay?

Let alone burning the food and grass, I'm afraid we'll be shot to pieces as soon as we get to the edge of the camp."

"In my opinion, this is clearly courting death. We will be dragged down as well. We should make plans early!"

After they left, Jiang Lin asked, "General Huo, do you think they have a chance of winning?"

Huo Jun looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and said:

"I don't know. These people are all Wanwan's people. She even cultivated them. I only know that they have some abilities.

But I don’t know what they can do specifically and to what extent.”

Jiang Lin was stunned: "You don't know? I thought you had a sure win."

Huo Jun said lightly:

“I don’t believe them, but I believe Wanwan.

Wanwan, the little girl, said that Zhou Jing is very capable and that you can ask him for advice on anything."

Jiang Lin wanted to cry but had no tears:

"Your little princess is five years old this year, and you actually believe what she says. You are hopeless.

Even if I dote on my daughter, you're not the one who dotes on her like that!"

The atmosphere in the camp has been depressing.

The Huns and the Parthians took turns to cause trouble day and night, and the more than 80,000 soldiers stationed here could not sleep well.

I just closed my eyes for a while when I heard the noise outside again.

Even though we took turns guarding the place these days, we were exhausted and everyone was listless.

After Zhou Jing took the thousand people out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement at all.

Everyone in the camp felt heavy-hearted and no one wanted to talk. They all felt that there was no hope for this matter and that perhaps those thousand people had already been killed.

They endured until the third day, and just as the sky was getting light, they suddenly heard a chaotic shouting coming from the Huns.

Then I saw the Huns’ camp starting to pack up in a chaotic manner.

Soon, the tents were dismantled one by one, and large groups of people retreated northward like a tide, even the Parthian people followed them.

In a short while, the originally densely packed enemy camp was emptied by more than half, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Huo Jun frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did they withdraw their troops so suddenly?"

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "You don't know, how could I know?"

"Do you think Zhou Jing has succeeded?" someone said softly.

Someone said "Pooh"

"Do you think he opened that Xiongnu camp? How could he have succeeded?

Even if tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers came here, there are at least tens of thousands more in the camp! How can they avoid these people? "

"Don't guess, they might have changed their tactics again..."

"I'm so hungry! I haven't eaten for two meals already. How can we survive this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the camp fell silent. If this continued, all the soldiers would die of starvation.

Someone sniffed and said, "I can accept a disaster year, but why is it that now that it's not a disaster year, we still have this result?"

"Does the imperial court want to force us to death? Why?"

Huo Jun's heart sank. He had thought about buying food recently, but all the food in the group had been bought up. Even if he wanted to buy some, he would have to pay a high price.

But how can their army have so much money?

Jiang Lin muttered to himself:

"If that doesn't work, we can just steal or rob, it's better than what we have now.

Now it's not just a matter of the Huns and the Parthian Empire, it's the country we swear to defend with our lives, and they're trying to force us to death!

Huo Jun, how about we rebel? Become the emperor ourselves..."

Huo Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Rebel, what are you talking about? How many heads do you have in your family? Just count them carefully. If you can't do that, go hunting in the mountains. There's always a way out."
