Chapter one hundred and sixty-eight effective methods
King Yong's order was quickly issued, and the cooks gathered all the grains, cooked the rice into porridge, and made the noodles into pancakes.
Smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and the aroma of food spread quickly. The soldiers, who had not had a full meal in several days, swallowed their saliva with greed and gathered around one after another.
However, there were only two pots of rice porridge and only one or two hundred noodle cakes, which was far from the "full meal" mentioned by King Yong.
Before the cooks could distribute the food, the soldiers had already started pushing each other, and a few bold ones were staring at the bread and trying to move.
The cooks saw that the situation was not good, but there was nothing they could do.
Just at this moment, a faint fragrance floated in the wind.
At first, it blended with the smell of rice porridge and bread. Later, the aroma became stronger and stronger, completely covering up the aroma of the food here.
"It's barbecue!" a soldier shouted.
"Yes, it's barbecue!" Several soldiers agreed.
"Let's go and see who is grilling meat." The people who were just staring at the noodles left following the smell.
The other soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and planned to follow.
A deputy general named Qin saw that something was wrong and yelled: "This is the enemy's plan, everyone, stop!"
Some soldiers were dissatisfied and shouted: "Why did Vice General Qin say that? Just a few broken noodles are not enough to fill everyone's teeth!"
Another soldier also said: "Everyone hasn't seen meat for a month, and even during the Chinese New Year, they only ate half full.
It’s all a dead end anyway, I’d rather die than starve to death!”
Incited by these two people, everyone could no longer hold back, and the scene became increasingly chaotic. More than half of the noodles were immediately taken away.
Lieutenant General Qin was furious, picked up his bow and arrow and shot at the most noisy soldier.
With a scream, the soldier was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and the two pancakes in his hand fell to the ground.
The scene immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Vice General Qin.
Vice General Qin said sternly: "Your Majesty has treated everyone well over the years. Now we are just encountering a little difficulty, which will be solved soon."
The soldier who was shot in the arm sarcastically said: "Don't think we don't know that all the people sent by the prince to transport food were robbed by the Flying Wing Army, and everyone will starve to death in a few days.
Vice General Qin might as well speak more clearly, how to solve this problem?"
Vice General Qin was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Trapped deep in the mountains for more than a month, they faced the same situation as the Flying Wing Army years ago.
At first, there were wild animals in the mountains that could improve the food supply, but soon all the wild animals were gone, and not even a chicken feather could be found.
The men and horses sent by the prince to transport food never came back, so they had to choose to break out tonight.
I thought that these people had been following the prince for many years and had received some favor from him, so they must be reliable in critical moments.
I never thought that the enemy could collapse their spirits with just one "roasting trick".
Just as he was feeling embarrassed, several more screams came from the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who had left before turned back, rolling and crawling on the ground.
"It is really the enemy's plan. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would all be killed by the arrows!"
Lieutenant General Qin breathed a sigh of relief and raised his voice: "Everyone, please be careful and don't fall into the enemy's trap again."

After Huan Yu sent Huan Ji away, the secret guards soon spread the news that King Yong's people were cheating on him.
He curled his lips and didn't take it too seriously.
A small plan that only played a role in playing tricks on King Yong's army.
King Yong is cunning and treacherous. He has worked hard for decades and his power cannot be underestimated.
Only by destroying his nests one by one can he be completely annihilated.
To do this, in addition to having absolute strength, you also need enough patience.
"Send my order to the general, and everyone should be prepared to pursue the enemy. Action will be taken soon."
"Yes." The secret guard clasped his fists and retreated.
After about a while of drinking tea, Sang Pu opened the curtain and walked in.
Huan Yu saw that he didn't look good and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Sang Pu said: "Sir, Ji Xinyuan is back escorting grain and grass."
Huan Yu chuckled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you unhappy?"
Sang Pu murmured in a low voice: "Why didn't we see her when we were hungry? Now she suddenly jumped out when we were eating and drinking!
She spent more than a month on the twenty-day round trip. If it weren't for the princess's banknote, we would have starved to death..."
This complaint made Huan Yu want to laugh.
Now in Sang Pu's mind, Xiao Jiu's status is obviously much higher than his.
He said with a straight face: "Where do you come from with all this nonsense? Why don't you go help Ji Xinyuan arrange food and supplies?"
Sang Pu said: "The young one will go first. Remember to keep a straight face later, so as not to be misunderstood again."
Huan Yu waved his hand.
The best way to deal with a girl like Ji Xinwan is to be calm and treat her like an ordinary soldier.
A too good attitude will easily cause her to misunderstand, while a too bad attitude will give her the opportunity to act coquettishly and do all sorts of tricks.
Except for Aji and Xiaojiu, he has no patience to deal with others.
Facts have proved that his method is very effective.
Ji Xinyuan was not very lucky, and she encountered rain and snow on the way back.
Not only was she delayed for seven or eight days, she herself also contracted a severe cold and spent the Spring Festival in an inn.
After her condition improved, she immediately urged the soldiers escorting the food and grass to set off.
She never expected that she would rush along slowly and hurriedly, but what she would see would be a well-fed and well-equipped Flying Wing Army.
Ji Xinwan found a familiar soldier and inquired about it, feeling secretly annoyed.
When she came to the main tent, she almost burst into tears as soon as she and Huan Yu came face to face.
Huan Yu acted as if he hadn't seen anything and asked her carefully about the process of escorting the grain and grass.
There was neither comfort nor blame. After saying thank you for your troubles, he told her to go down and rest. Her attitude was completely the same as that towards other soldiers.
Ji Xinyuan felt extremely aggrieved, but Huan Yu did not allow her to speak, and said: "The Feiyi Army has an operation tonight. My cousin has just come back and needs to rest, so don't participate."
"I don't need to rest..." Ji Xinyuan hurriedly defended.
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. The Feiyi Army is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but it never takes the soldiers' bodies and lives seriously."
In order not to give Huan Yu the impression of being ignorant, Ji Xinyuan had no choice but to retreat.
She increasingly doubted whether their family's choices were right or wrong.
Cousin Yu is so cold to her and doesn't even ask about her father's current situation. Will Wang Jue's bait really be useful to him?
Huan Yu didn't have the time to think about this.
After being fully prepared, he personally led his troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of King Yong.
