Chapter 693: Chapter 675: Surprise Soldier Assault!_1

Thankfully, after several days of delay, Qin Yi had returned with his personal soldiers, escorting the food and fodder!

By the time Jun Ruochen’s men found out, Qin Yi had already personally protected the food and fodder, they were under the tower of Hezhong City.

Jun Ruochen instantly turned pale and ordered the whole army to intercept.

However, the people on the tower had already received the news, and even though they tried to stop it with all their might, they couldn’t prevent Qin Yi from escorting the food and fodder into the city.

Upon hearing this, General Cao was so angry that he immediately yelled, "I’m infuriated!"

He immediately fainted from anger, the accompanying officials rushed to help him, and it was not until after a great fuss that he was revived. When he woke up, facing Jun Ruochen, who had a face full of shame, he didn’t have a good expression.

"Jun Ruochen! It seems like you have your heart is here but longing to be somewhere else! Now that things have come to this, just go explain to His Majesty yourself!"

After saying this angrily, he immediately ordered his subordinates to pack up.

Ignoring Jun Ruochen’s repeated explanations, he left the Hezhong city overnight and returned to Shengjing. As for how he would frame things in front of His Majesty after returning to Shengjing, Jun Ruochen dared not even imagine.

After thinking about it, Jun Ruochen also swiftly sent a letter to the Jun Family in Shengjing.

Afterward, he could only anxiously await the development of the situation.

However, at this moment, there was a lot of excitement in Hezhong City!

In the past few days, the city’s inhabitants had run out of food and were so hungry that their eyes were glowing green as they stared at the food and fodder.

Seeing several dozens of carts of food and fodder being transported back into the city, the soldiers were high in spirits, overjoyed and celebrating even more than after winning a great victory.

Old Cheng was also happy!

During these days, he had taken Qin Yi’s place, stationed at the city wall, and only he could understand the tumultuous thoughts in his heart.

Qin Yi returned victoriously, standing on the high tower, looking at the many soldiers.

"My brothers, you have all worked hard! Now, I, Qin Yi, have fortunately fulfilled my command and gotten several dozens of carts of food and fodder. Tonight, we can all eat white flour and delicious rice, a full meal! For now, everyone please bear it a little longer, wait until the kitchen has prepared the food. Then everyone can feast freely!"

The surrounding soldiers cheered simultaneously, with waves of cheers echoing to the sky.

"Long live General Qin!"

"Long live General Qin! Long live General Qin!!"

"..."

Qin Yi, amidst the cheers of the people, descended from the tower and retreated to his tent.

In the tent, he bowed at once to Master Uncle Cheng.

Master Uncle Cheng was surprised and quickly bent over to help him get up, "General, what is this for? This is killing me with my old bones. Please get up!"

Qin Yi had a serious look on his face!

"Although Qin Yi is not in Hezhong City, when Qin Yi left, there was no food left in the city. Master Uncle Cheng, you managed to hold on until my return with just your strength: this is already a great achievement! I’ve already informed His Majesty about this. After this is resolved, His Majesty will surely reward you. But for now, please accept my three bows!"

"No, absolutely not!"

Master Uncle Cheng immediately supported him, "Young Master, you must not do this! Please stand up quickly..."

"Yes, it’s justified! These three bows are on behalf of the many soldiers and civilians in Hezhong City to thank you!"

Qin Yi insisted on bowing three times, then finally stood up.

Having received these three bows, Old Cheng kept sighing, "Actually, Master Uncle doesn’t have any good method, it’s only a shame that Master Uncle just killed some war horses to feed..."

"Whether it’s a war horse or a human life, Qin Yi still knows which is heavier and which is lighter! Don’t worry about this anymore, Master Uncle."

Hurriedly, Qin Yi comforted him, "Speaking of which, I still have one more thing to ask Master Uncle. If Master Uncle keeps behaving like this, I won’t be able to ask it."

Upon hearing this, Master Uncle Cheng quickly got rid of his look of shame and asked what else was there.

Qin Yi waved his hand to dismiss everyone from the side, then heard the sounds of joy and cheering coming from outside the tent, clearly the rice and white bread had been served.

Only then did he hurriedly pull Master Uncle Cheng aside and whispered in his ear.

"What?"

Master Uncle Cheng was shocked to the point of almost falling to the ground. Qin Yi quickly helped him up, "Master uncle, we can’t make a fuss about this!"

Master Uncle Cheng was shaking all over. After a long time, he finally calmed down. He finally relaxed and said, "Your move is really risky. If the soldiers outside found out, they would most probably become chaotic immediately!"

"That’s why I’ve come to discuss this matter with you, Master Uncle."

Qin Yi sighed, "His Majesty only gave me 20,000 taels of silver, but in these times, where can I buy food if I have silver? I’ve been scraping together, and finally got a dozen cars... Cough. After thinking about it, I disguised it as several dozen carts of food and transported them back. This way, not only can it boost the morale of our soldiers, but it can also deter the enemy. Looking at it now, this strategy seems to be effective!"

"The strategy is good, but the shortage of several dozen carts of food is not so easy to fill!"

Master Uncle Cheng worriedly walked back and forth in the tent, and then asked Qin Yi for his opinion, "In your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Actually, in my opinion, we can send a surprise soldier assault now!" Qin Yi had a cold owl expression.

"Where to?" Master Uncle Cheng was amazed.

Qin Yi had a murderous expression, "Kill General Cao!"

"Really?"

Master Uncle Cheng’s eyebrows twitched, "Where did that come from?"

"General Cao is too eager for merit. Now that I have transported so much food back, he must have thought that the next step would be a long stalemate between the two armies. But, would he give up the wealth and glory in Shengjing to endure this hardship? I predict, he will definitely use this as an excuse to return to the capital city, then take the opportunity to sue Jun Ruochen. This way, he can stay in the capital city and get himself out of it." Qin Yi analyzed in detail.

"Yes, your analysis makes sense."

Master Uncle Cheng also nodded in agreement, "If he really does as you say and uses this as an excuse to return to the capital city, he probably won’t delay. What should we do?"

Qin Yi smiled, "So, I’ll have to ask Master Uncle Cheng for a favor. Tonight, taking advantage of the moonlight, you will lead a group of men and horses to make sure that General Cao stays in the Hezhong!"

"I’ll take care of it!"

Master Uncle Cheng slapped his chest and guaranteed, "However, in doing so, aren’t you helping Jun Ruochen? If General Cao returns to Shengjing, it would be difficult for Jun Ruochen to get away."

"Qin Zitong would prefer to have more evidence against Jun Ruochen."

Qin Yi smiled confidently, planning inside the strategy room, "However, I hope that Jun Ruochen can help me."
