Great Military Division

Chapter 363 Liu Bian is shocked!Where do you get so much grain from?

"Master Bian, don't get your hopes up too much."

Looking at the back of Guo Jia bowing away, the voice of the Military Division Alliance followed: "From what we know, it has been more than five days since the end of the Chang'an Palace Change. Fan Chou was already preparing to enter the palace, but Zhang Ji did not respond."

"Yuan Kai's cautiousness will definitely arouse his suspicion. It is very likely that he has sent troops to receive it before we rushed there. Wuguan has few troops, and Zhang Ji can't handle it."

Liu Bian naturally knew that Wuguan's military deployment was only two or three thousand people, and it relied entirely on the rugged roads and steep mountains for defense:

"That's why I said that speed is the most important thing in soldiers. Let Lu Bu, the wolf rider, rush to Wuguan as quickly as possible. It's good to be able to bring Wuguan back. Even if you can't, you can also meet Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses."

"Ah."

The Alliance of Military Divisions strongly agreed: "The measures of Master Bian are naturally correct, but don't place too much hope on them. With Yuan Wei's ingenuity, it is impossible for Hangu Pass and Wu Pass to cause problems."

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."

The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "Yuan Kai's actions are very fast, which proves that he has already thought about how to control the court and how to control the army. Then, next, he will definitely cooperate with Yuan Shao and march into Bingzhou."

"Defense Lord."

The Military Division Alliance reminded: "We don't have much time left. According to the expert's suggestion, we should send Zhang Liao to send troops ahead of time according to the original plan, while Yuan Wei has not yet stabilized Guanzhong."

Liu Bian had to admit it.

Yuan Kai's series of actions were indeed very swift.

Even including the recruitment of Dong Zhuo's army, it was also beyond expectations.

That being the case, then Liu Bian also can't follow the rules and follow the rules at every step, but has to take a risk and try to gain the initiative in the strategy.

Of course, although Liu Bian understands the truth, he has to consider the practical issues: "But teacher, our food and grass are really not enough at present, I'm afraid we can't support the army."

"Don't worry, Mr. Bian."

The Military Division Alliance has already considered this point: "The current food consumption in Nanyang, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou is all within the normal range. We still have a certain surplus, just in case."

"what?"

Liu Bian frowned, and said in disbelief: "There is still a surplus? Where is it, why don't I know?"

The military division alliance explained: "The Changping warehouses in all counties all stock up with a certain amount of grain and grass. This was originally to adjust the price of grain and prevent the price of grain from soaring due to disasters."

"From the current point of view, the possibility of large-scale disasters in Nanyang is too small. We can definitely mobilize some grain and grass from the Changping warehouses in various counties, and transport them to Heluo through the water network to provide support for the army."

"Master Bian, don't forget that Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses have been stationed in the fields for a year. The food and grass can't be said to last for a long time, but it shouldn't be a problem if we persist for three months or even longer. At that time, our follow-up food and grass will definitely be replenished."

Thanks to the excavation of the water network last year, the eight major water systems in Nanyang have all been opened up, and it is currently in the rainy season, and the rivers are abundant, which is conducive to water transportation.

Although most of the Changping warehouses in Nanyang counties are 26 shi, and some large counties have reached 26 shi, but there are 13 counties, which add up to at least [-] shi of grain and grass. Even if only half of the grain and grass are taken, it is enough There are as many as [-] stones.

Zhang Liao first entered Bingzhou with a small force, and after occupying the key terrain, he gradually sent troops in. It would not be a problem to delay until the autumn harvest. In this way, the problem of food and grass was easily solved.

This will not delay the normal operation of Nanyang, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, nor will it delay Zhang Liao's attack. It is the best of both worlds.

The longer the emperor was, the more Liu Bian could feel the correctness of this sentence: the competition between big countries is not just a competition in armaments, but also a competition in comprehensive national strength.

When armaments reach a certain level, roads, bridges, communications, food and salaries, and even more subtle things often restrict your display of strength.

"it is good."

"I'll talk to Xun Yu about it."

Liu Bian agreed in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Come here."

Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty."

"Quickly call Xun Yu over, I have something important to discuss with him."

"Here."

Soon.

Xun Yu hurried to Wende Hall.

At this moment, Liu Bian had already come to the sand table beside him, staring at Bingzhou above, extremely engrossed.

Xun Yu rushed to meet him, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to be too polite, no nonsense, and went straight to the point: "If I am going to use troops against Bingzhou now, how much food and grass can you raise?"

How could Xun Yu not know the current situation? Yuan Kai's actions were too fast, far exceeding Nanyang's expectations. His Majesty the Emperor would definitely take action.

Therefore, Xun Yu was already mentally prepared for His Majesty's question: "To tell you the truth, I'm just trying to figure it out. It shouldn't be a problem to raise 50 shi for food and grass."

"50 million stone?"

Liu Bian couldn't help being stunned, turned his head suddenly, and glanced at Xun Yu: "Why are there so many?"

Xun Yu cupped his hands and hurriedly explained: "Eighty percent of the grain and grass can be mobilized in Changping warehouses in various places, a total of 25 shi, and the rest of the grain and grass are saved on a daily basis."

"what?"

Liu Bian was amazed: "Could it be that you didn't implement the plan we made years ago?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all township plans are complete, but His Majesty has always been generous, and he doesn't care about the use of food, grass, and funds. Naturally, I need to refine it, and cooperate with Zijing to save the court as much as possible."

"For example, the excavation of the Nanyang water network last year, the preparation of winter clothes for the army, the construction of new-style houses for the common people, and the shipyard and aluminum alloy factory this year can all save a fortune."

"In addition, Lu Su incorporated the Mi family in Xuzhou into the imperial court, and used its original business network to sell paper, glass, etc. produced by the imperial court to Jizhou, Yangzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and other places, and the income has increased significantly. promote."

This is true.
Accidents happen every year, especially this year.

What is a good subordinate is someone who can expand their thinking and turn 1 into 2, or even 10, 100, or 1000. They are good subordinates.

Liu Bian can fully delegate power and only grasp the strategic direction, while Xun Yu is responsible for reducing expenditures, and Lu Su is responsible for increasing revenue.

You know, Liu Bian originally thought that being able to raise 20 shi of grain and grass was already the limit, but now it's over, with a full 50 shi of grain and grass, this time Zhang Liao can attack wantonly.

call-

The sadness on Liu Bian's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by excitement, and an unconcealable joy: "Haha! Wen Ruo, you really solved a big problem for me."

Xun Yu's face was still calm, and he bowed his body and cupped his hands: "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of your majesty. If your majesty decides, I will immediately mobilize manpower and material resources to transport grain to Heluo."

"can!"

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "At the same time, I issued an edict to Zhang Liao, telling him to quickly wipe out Hanoi, and take advantage of Niu Fu's preoccupation with himself, to invade Hedong, laying the foundation for our army to attack Bingzhou in advance."

"In addition, the Xinye command Liu Bei and Sun Jian, the general who sought captives, ordered Liu Bei to lead troops into Heluo to take over Zhang Liao's position, in case Yuan Kai launched an attack from the direction of Hangu Pass, and asked Sun Jian to enter Xinye on the grounds of training the navy. "

Liu Bei entered Heluo;
Sun Jian entered Xinye?
Xun Yu suddenly understood His Majesty's intentions. It seemed that he was already planning to attack Bingzhou. Otherwise, how could he have thought of such a comprehensive mobilization plan. Obviously, he had expected that Yuan Kai would join forces with Yuan Shao.

At that moment, Xun Yu bowed deeply: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will summon you as soon as possible."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "Go, hurry up."

Xun Yu nodded, "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

Looking at the back of Xun Yu leaving, the netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited:
"Fuck! This time I finally saw Wang Zuozhi's ability."

"Lu Su cooperated with Xuzhou Mi's family, isn't this the prototype of a state-owned enterprise?"

"That's right, Lu Su's progress is quite fast, it's okay to have this kind of awareness!"

"Lu Su is very awesome, and he played a link between the past and the future among the governors of Jiangdong."

"It's a pity that Zhuge Liang is still too young. When he grows up, he will probably be even more awesome."

"."

*****
Wuguan.

Zhang Ji Daying.

Central Army, big tent.

Zhang Ji frowned, and looked up at Jia Xu: "Wen He, is that Zhang Quan reliable?"

Jia Xu remained calm, and said with certainty: "General, don't worry, we are all fellow villagers, and we are all brothers outside."

"Yes."

Zhang Xiu patted his chest and promised: "Uncle, brother Zhang Quan is a real person, he will definitely send the letter to Nanyang, let's wait for the news from Nanyang with peace of mind."

"But."

Zhang Ji was still worried, and said with a worried expression: "After all, we were enemies with King Hongnong, and the Prime Minister abolished him. How can this hatred be easily resolved?"

"This"

Zhang Xiu frowned slightly, and looked up at Jia Xu who was opposite.

Jia Xu still had a calm expression, and said confidently: "Yuan Kai can accept us, let alone His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, the general can rest assured."

"The only thing we have to worry about now is whether Yuan Kai from Chang'an will send someone over in advance, who is the general, how many soldiers and horses the opponent has brought, and whether we can hold on and keep Wuguan."

Zhang Ji waved his hand: "Don't worry, Wenhe, the general has sent scouts. If there is any movement in Chang'an, he will definitely send an order back. Don't worry."

"Report—!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a long report outside the tent.

Zhang Ji looked up.

But seeing, my own scout hurriedly entered the account, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "General, a soldier has been killed from the direction of Chang'an, the strength of which is conservatively estimated to be 8000."

"So fast?"

Zhang Ji was taken aback and horrified.

At this moment, he finally realized that Yuan Kai had never trusted them, otherwise the other party could not have moved so fast and directly dispatched [-] troops.

"That's right!"

The scout nodded affirmatively: "According to the news reported by the scouts, these [-] troops are probably just the front army, and the brigade is still behind. The distance between the two sides should not be too far."

Jia Xu hurriedly asked, "Is the lead general of the army Huangfusong?"

The scout hummed: "Military teacher Mingjian, it is Huangfusong."

"what?"

Zhang Ji's brain suddenly became dizzy: "Are you sure it's Huangfusong?"

The scout was extremely sure: "Judging from the military flag, it is undoubtedly Huangfusong."

Jia Xu sighed: "If that's the case, we don't need to stand firm. Let's withdraw. The reinforcements coming from Nanyang should be heading towards Wuguan."

"withdraw troops?"

Zhang Ji frowned, feeling unwilling: "Wenhe, the Wuguan road is rough and difficult, and the location is extremely important. Is it a pity for us to withdraw like this?"

Obviously.

If Wuguan can be dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, then Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew will have more say in Nanyang, and will also be highly regarded by His Majesty the Emperor.

But if there is no Wuguan, they will not be so attractive to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang simply because they have more than [-] soldiers and horses. This will affect the status of their uncles and nephews too much.

"General."

Jia Xu made a bow and said softly: "The person who came was not someone else, but Huangfusong who came from the general family, and he had an absolute advantage in military strength. I think Yuan Kai must have given the order to die, and Huangfusong will definitely fight to the death."

"Little Wuguan, there are only two thousand soldiers and horses, how long can we hold on? If we don't hold on for too long, the losses outweigh the losses."

"Don't worry, General."

Jia Xu said earnestly: "If His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang knows that his opponent is Huangfusong, not only will he not blame us, but he will praise the general for his wisdom."

Zhang Ji didn't believe this evil: "Although we are a strong enemy, if we retreat without fighting, wouldn't it make people laugh?"

Liangzhou people all have a bloody spirit and are more reckless. Jia Xu is not surprised by this: "It is unwise to do it when you know it can't be done. His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is more inclined to this."

Since you can't fight, don't waste this time. After all, everyone is very busy, unless there is a reason to fight, this is Jia Xu's consistent principled style.

Just like in history, Cao Cao led troops to attack Wancheng, Jia Xu knew that Zhang Xiu would be defeated, so he didn't bother to fight Cao Cao, and directly persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender.

But when Zhang Xiu had a reason to fight, then Jia Xu would also help him to make suggestions and delay the whole war from the perspective of the weak side for more than a year before finally surrendering again.

According to Jia Xu's temper, the period of more than a year can be completely saved. Anyway, the result is the same. With Zhang Xiu's capital, it is impossible to be Cao Cao's opponent.

"Yes."

Zhang Xiu on the side echoed, "His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor is indeed more sensible. Just like when he was at Dagu Pass, the prime minister laid out many ambushes along the way, but the opponent did not come to attack and kept delaying the time."

"Ordinary people can't have such patience, but His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang can do it. It even lasted for more than a month. It was not until the Sishui Pass suffered heavy losses and the prime minister brought in troops to support him. Destroy it."

Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and the others were at Dagu Pass at that time, and they still remember this incident vividly. After ambush for nearly a month, they didn't even catch a fly's leg, which really annoyed them.

But rather.
When Dong Zhuo led his troops away, something happened in the direction of Dagu Pass.

If it was a coincidence, even the ghost prince would not believe it!

And King Hongnong's original great victorious teacher can endure for more than a month without attacking. This is not rational, what is it?Could it be that he bit the bullet and attacked because of his passion?

"This"

Sure enough, Zhang Ji hesitated again.

This old guy is quite stubborn, but he has a completely different attitude towards Zhang Xiu.

Jia Xu took the opportunity to make amends and add fuel to the flames: "General, if you lose your troops and fail to defend Wuguan, wouldn't this make His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang feel even more disappointed? Rather than this, it is better to leave now, at least you can keep the two thousand Soldiers and horses."

"And I heard that Nanyang is holding a riding competition recently. If General Zhang goes, he may be able to enter the finals. In the future, he may be able to enter the leopard, wolf, or tiger riding."

"Notice."

Jia Xu emphasized: "Back then, even our Xiliang Xiaoqi was not an opponent of Hongnong King's Jingqi. Now that two years have passed, perhaps Nanyang's cavalry is stronger."

When Zhang Xiu heard about the riding competition, he immediately became excited: "Uncle, what the military master said makes sense, Huangfu Song is not that easy to deal with, we still have time to go now."

"Anyway, these two thousand cavalry are considered elite. It's better than our uncle and nephew going to Nanyang alone. If we lose the battle and go to seek refuge, I'm afraid they will be ridiculed by others."

Zhang Ji pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly: "My nephew is right, such a compromise is indeed the best. In this case, then quickly send an order to the whole army to push out of Wuguan and enter Nanyang."

Zhang Xiu bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

The whole army left Wuguan and entered the border of Nanyang.

After slowing down for about half an hour, scouts reported that Huangfusong's army had occupied Wuguan, and did not send any troops to pursue it.

In the early morning of the next day, when Zhang Ji's army continued on their way, a torrent of smoke and dust flowed from far to near, and on the fluttering big flag, the word "Lv" was particularly conspicuous.

appeal to

Lu Bu reined in the red dodder, looked up at Zhang Ji's army, "Where is Zhang Ji?"

Zhang Ji rushed forward immediately: "The last general, Zhang Ji, has met General Lu."

Lu Bu got off his horse and asked, "Could it be that Wuguan has already been acquired by Yuan Kai?"

"This"

Zhang Ji couldn't hold back his face, but he answered honestly: "Yuan Kai sent Huangfu Song to lead troops here. There may be tens of thousands of troops. When I knew I was invincible, I retreated first."

What shocked Zhang Ji was that Lu Bu didn't show any contempt on his face. Instead, he nodded affirmatively: "Okay, after Huangfu Song is in charge, come here quickly, and you will definitely fight to the death. It is a wise move for you to withdraw."

"what?"

Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment.

In my impression, Lu Bu has a fiery temper and never takes anyone seriously. Even if the opponent is Lord Yan, he still dares to go up and hug his two beards for fun.

But who would have imagined that it had been a long time since Lu Bu took refuge in King Hongnong, his personality had changed so much, his whole body lost a lot of hostility, and on the contrary, he restrained his sharpness and became deeper.

"Can Huangfu Song send someone to chase after him?"

Lu Bu continued to ask.

"No."

Zhang Ji shook his head, still in a daze.

"It's really worthy of being the queen of the general."

Lu Bu sighed regretfully, and said softly, "If he dares to chase him out, we can just fight back, and perhaps we may be able to capture Huangfusong alive."

"such a pity!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, secretly resentful: "What a pity."

Zhang Ji heaved a sigh of relief: "Huangfu Song is a descendant of the general, proficient in the art of war, and has a good plan. Since he knows that Nanyang is outside the pass, he naturally dare not act rashly. He didn't pursue him, which is reasonable."

"Ah."

Lu Bu nodded: "General Zhang is right. If that's the case, let's go and return to Wancheng. His Majesty was very pleasantly surprised to hear that the general surrendered. He ordered me to come quickly to meet him."

Zhang Jicheng was terrified: "I am flattered, I am really flattered!"

The army returned.

Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Wende Hall.

When Liu Bian heard that it was Huangfusong who led the troops, he couldn't help being surprised: "It's Huangfusong?"

Zhang Ji nodded affirmatively: "That's right, it's General Zhengxi Huangfusong."

"Yuan Kui is really treacherous."

Liu Bian sighed, although it was a pity, but this kind of disposal method was the level that Yuan Kai should have: "It is wise to send Huangfusong to conquer at the first time, and you did not stick to it."

hiss-!
Zhang Ji was surprised and couldn't help gasping.

He really didn't think so.

The reaction of His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor was really guessed by Jia Xu, and the other party did not feel that he was cowardly, but that he was wise.

However, the momentary look of surprise on Zhang Ji's face did not escape Liu Bian's eyes: "This is the general."

Zhang Ji didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly bowed: "To be honest, the last general originally wanted to stick to Wuguan, but because of the dissuasion of the military advisor Jia Xu, he gave up and led his troops to retreat from Wuguan."

"Where is Jia Xu?"

Liu Bian naturally did not forget this person, and tried to ask.

"Ah, this"

Zhang Ji bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said softly: "Wen He felt that he was not qualified to see His Majesty, so he was still in the army and did not follow, but in fact, it was thanks to this man that the general was able to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side."

Ha ha.

God Gou deserves to be God Gou.

Others can't wait to show their face in front of the emperor, but he is good, he can't wait to put his face in the ground and bury himself.

However, since it has fallen into the hands of me, Liu Bian, how can I let you get paid and not work!
I, Nanyang, don't raise people who eat salty rice!

"His Majesty."

Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to summon Jia Xu to the palace for an audience?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly and waved his hand: "Don't worry! Since he doesn't want to come, you don't have to force it. I have ordered the food supervisor to prepare a banquet. Today, I have the right to clean up the dust for you two by entertaining you two."

Both of them cupped their hands together: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Then, Zhang Xiu took a step forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The general heard that Nanyang is holding a great equestrian competition. The general asked himself that he is proficient in bow and horse, and he is as good as everyone else. I wonder if it is possible to participate?"

Liu Bian nodded without hesitation: "Although it's a bit late, but fortunately it's only a rematch and has not yet entered the finals. General Zhang is a young talent, so he can naturally go, I'm sure."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Xiu was ecstatic in his heart, and handed over again: "If the last general can win the championship, is it possible to be the general?"

Liu Bian only felt that Zhang Xiu was arrogant, but he nodded in the end: "If you really can win the championship, I will make the decision for you and promote you to be the leader of the Wolf Rider. But if it is difficult to enter the top three, I will not be able to help."

At that moment, Zhang Xiu patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not embarrass you in the end."
