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

Chapter 389 Huo Jun, you are so brave!

Shen Chongshan was startled at first, then he raised his head and laughed heartily. He raised his hand and patted Su Yu's shoulder heavily, praising him:

"Su Yu, you're right! This idea sounds really mean at first glance.

But if we can really use him to defeat the Xiongnu, that would be a great thing. I'll do as you say!"

Changing the subject, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "But, do you think that Huo Shan kid will listen to us and really attack the Xiongnu?"

Su Yu had a confident smile on his face as he spoke:

"You have to say Huo Shan is indeed quite intelligent. After all, he was trained by General Huo himself.

But no matter how smart he is, he is still young and energetic, and his mind is full of thoughts about doing something big.

He didn't even think about it. How could anything so easy to accomplish in this world?

Although he now has more than 50,000 men under his command, he is short of food and fodder, and insufficient weapons and equipment, and is restricted everywhere.

As long as we give him some sweet treats and promise him some benefits, he will definitely be happy to help. Just leave this matter to me!"

After hearing this, Shen Chongshan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of admiration: "You are really thoughtful."

Su Yu acted decisively and immediately sent someone to call Huo Shan over.

Not long after, Huo Jun strode into the barracks. He stood tall and straight, his expression showing a youthful vigor. He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I wonder why General Su wants to see me?"

Su Yu looked solemn and took two steps forward, his face full of worry.

"General Huo, to be honest, we are in a difficult situation right now! The Xiongnu have been harassing our borders frequently lately, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities.

The people's food was stolen, their houses were burned, their families were separated, and they suffered terribly.

The Xiongnu cavalry came like the wind. Although our border guards resisted with all their might, they were too cunning and vicious, and suffered heavy losses.

Now the people living in the border areas are in a panic, and as soldiers, we are really heartbroken!

I have come to you this time to ask for your help in resisting the Xiongnu, ensuring the peace of my people and protecting my country."

Huo Jun stared at Su Yu in disbelief, his chest heaving violently. He never expected Su Yu to be so shameless.

Not only did they not send them any supplies, but they also wanted to force them to fight against the Huns. This extremely absurd order made him so angry that he laughed.

A soldier beside him came forward and said softly with a tired voice:

"General, it's not that we don't want to defend our country, we are also full of passion and eager to go into battle to resist the enemy.

But you see, we have been hungry for several days, and our stomachs are rumbling with hunger.

Looking at the thin clothes on his body, they can't resist the bone-chilling cold at all.

Weapons are in short supply, and even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. In this situation, how can we rush to the battlefield and defend our country?

Su Yu said coldly:

"This is not an excuse, let alone a reason! It's not like you're the only ones going through this hard time; everyone in the army is going through this together.

Could it be that because of this little difficulty, no one will fight the enemy?"

Huo Jun looked at him calmly and said:

"Let's talk about this matter after spring! At least until we survive.

Otherwise, find a way to give us food, clothes, and weapons, otherwise I can do nothing."

Su Yu's face flushed red instantly, and he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Huo Jun, you are so brave! This is a blatant disobedience to military orders.

Believe it or not, I will report this to the imperial court immediately and make you pay for it!"

Huo Jun stared back fearlessly and shouted:

"Okay, since you want to report this to the court, then go ahead! Do you think I'm afraid of you?

I was just about to report this to the higher authorities. I've been forced into this desperate situation, so what else should I worry about?

I want to let the court know what is going on here!"

When Su Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he realized that things were about to get out of hand.

He coughed quickly, trying to hide his panic, and forced an unnatural smile on his face, and his tone softened a lot:

"Huo Jun, I know you have always been a straightforward person, and I understand your difficulties.

But it’s not easy for us now, and we are all struggling.

How about this, I'll discuss it with General Shen. As you know, General Shen has always trusted you very much and is very optimistic about you.

I'll go ask if I can allocate some food and supplies to you first, so that at least your brothers can have enough food and clothing."

Huo Jun just smiled coldly after hearing this, and that smile was full of sarcasm: "Okay! When you really deliver the supplies and the brothers in the army have food to eat, we can talk about this matter again!"

After saying that, he didn't even give Su Yu a spare glance, turned around and strode away.

After Huo Jun returned to the tent, he went straight to Master Bai and told him in detail what had happened.

Master Bai listened, his expression gradually becoming gloomy. After listening, he couldn't help but sneer:

"Isn't this a typical case of wanting the horse to run but not eat grass?

They just talk big but have no real support and they want us to work hard for them. How can it be so easy?

What do they think of us? Just soft persimmons for them to exploit at will?

After hearing the whole story, Liu Xiang sneered:

"Humph, this is probably a two-birds-with-one-stone idea. I'll let you attack the Xiongnu without losing a single soldier myself.

Not only can I get rid of you thorns in my eyes, but I can also deal with the Huns at the same time. What a good plan.

I haven't seen any other abilities of Shen Chongshan, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve to stab people in the back."

Huo Jun felt a surge of anger when he heard this: "So what should we do now? Just sit there and wait for him to plot against us?"

Liu Xiang raised his eyes slowly and looked at Huo Jun, his expression calm and composed, and sneered again:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's just hold off. He's the one who's anxious now. Let's wait until he delivers the supplies.

We have food in our hands, so we are not worried. Let's see what tricks he can come up with."

Huo Jun frowned, still feeling a little uneasy. He couldn't help but ask, "So we really have to go to war with the Xiongnu? Isn't that just sending ourselves to die in vain?"

"Why rush? Let's wait until we have supplies! Keeping the soldiers healthy is more important than anything else.

By the way, they are all going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, you can go with them!" Liu Xiang said lightly.

Huo Jun led a group of people directly to the mountain. Zhao Qiaoniang and the others had already set off.

Zhao Qiaoniang now has more than 500 female soldiers under her command, but only more than 100 of them followed them out this time.

Huo Jun laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of so many women in the mountains? Don't get me wrong! I don't mean anything else. Most women don't dare to go into the mountains."

Mulan looked at him and said, "That's an ordinary woman. We are not ordinary women."
