God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 460 Food and grass were robbed
Jun Moyuan and everyone else sat in the tent, discussing the urgent war situation with serious expressions.
Just as they were expressing their opinions and arguing, a soldier rushed into the tent and knelt on one knee to report: "My Lords, the army is seriously short of food and grass! According to the original plan, the food and grass that should have arrived five days ago has not been delivered to this day."
Hearing this, Jun Moyuan frowned and asked anxiously, "Then how long can the remaining food in the army last?"
The soldier did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Your Highness, it can only last for three days at most."
Before he finished speaking, the entire tent fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with anxiety.
At this moment, Lu Tingyan stepped forward and said calmly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I still have enough food and grass to supply the entire army for three months."
Her words were like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly igniting the fire of hope among everyone.
However, Mu Yanyu on the side showed doubt on his face and reminded: "County Lord, it is not easy to supply food and fodder for nearly 400,000 soldiers."
Then, General Zhao also echoed: "Yes, County Lord, this matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly."
Facing everyone's concerns, Lu Tingyan smiled and explained calmly: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. I have ordered my second brother to secretly purchase food and grass in case of emergency. Now these food and grass are just what we need."
Hearing this, Jun Moyuan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned to look at Lu Tingyan and asked softly, "Yan'er, I heard Captain Lu mention that Brother Lu and Brother Lu's visit to Mocheng this time is related to this matter?"
Lu Tingyan nodded and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right."
General Zhao asked seriously, "County Lady, are you talking about the two brothers who came to the army with you?"
Lu Tingyan nodded slightly and replied softly, "That's right."
When General Zhao heard this, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he said excitedly: "That's great! With the help of these two, I believe our next move will be much smoother."
Lu Tingyan then added: "Tomorrow at 3 p.m., please come here to collect food and fodder." She took out a piece of paper with the address on it.
At this time, Jun Moyuan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and ordered: "General Zhao, you and Captain Lu go together to receive the food and grass. Make sure everything goes well."
General Zhao and Lu Tianhao responded in unison: "Yes, Your Highness! I obey your orders!"
Both of them seemed energetic and eager to try.
After Lu Tingyan thought for a moment, she said to Jun Moyuan worriedly, "Your Highness, I suspect that the issue of food and grass this time may be related to Prince Yu."
Hearing this, Jun Moyuan's face instantly turned gloomy. He frowned and said coldly, "If it is really as you expected, they are secretly making trouble behind the scenes and trying to disrupt the morale of our army, I will definitely not forgive them easily."
Mu Yanyu on the side shook his head in disbelief and asked in confusion: "As a prince of our country, how could he do such a thing?"
Jun Moyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Whether this matter is related to Prince Yu or not, we must thoroughly investigate the cause. We must not let any conspiracy succeed."
Seeing this, Lu Tingyan hurriedly stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness, calm down. Don't be too angry for now. It won't be too late to deal with it after finding out the truth."
At this time, a spy came hurriedly to report: "Your Highness, we found the traces of the grain transport team, but they were all encountered, and all the grain and grass disappeared."
Jun Moyuan slammed the table angrily: "Damn it! Send someone to search immediately and make sure to find out the whereabouts of the food and grass."
Lu Tingyan said in a tender voice: "Your Highness, I am willing to go with you."
Jun Moyuan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then the two of them led a team of well-equipped and well-trained elite soldiers and set off as quickly as the wind.
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, raising clouds of dust.
Soon, the group arrived at the grain transport team. However, what they saw was a horrible scene.
The ground was littered with corpses of soldiers transporting grain, the blood dyed the land red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
All the vehicles transporting food and fodder and all the food were gone.
Jun Moyuan dismounted with a serious expression, squatted down and carefully examined the corpses.
He frowned and scanned every wound sharply.
After a moment, he slowly stood up, shook his head and said, "This doesn't look like something an ordinary robber would do."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingyan, who was standing nearby, hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, have you found anything?"
Jun Moyuan pointed at one of the corpses and said, "Yan'er, look at the injuries on their bodies. The wounds are neat and tidy. They are obviously caused by masters. Moreover, the skills of these people are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary bandits. It seems more like they were caused by people who have received professional training."
Lu Tingyan looked in the direction of his finger and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. She murmured to herself, "Could it be true as His Highness said..."
She suddenly thought of a possibility, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "Could it be that Prince Yu secretly raised private soldiers?"
Jun Moyuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Prince Yu and Prime Minister Su are both suspects. The grain transportation this time is of great importance. If the grain cannot be delivered to the front line in time, it may affect the war situation. Now it seems that the black hand behind this must have some intention."
Lu Tingyan gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "These men with evil intentions are truly despicable! One day, I will kill them with my own hands to comfort the souls of these innocent soldiers in heaven!"
Jun Moyuan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be angry, Yan'er. The most urgent task now is to find out the truth as soon as possible and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. We can't stay here for long. Let's go back to the camp first and make a long-term plan."
After saying this, he jumped on his horse and called on everyone to return.
