The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 45: Yuan Shu kills two birds with one stone

The first year of Chuping, mid-April.

Just after Ye Chen subdued Zhao Yun.

In the coalition army tent.

"Gong Lu, you will be in charge of the food and fodder dispatch this time. From now on, we will all rely on you."

now.

In the allied army camp, Yuan Shu walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

Following behind him was Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun.

This coalition meeting.

The Yuan Shao brothers can be said to be the biggest winners.

One is in charge of military dispatch.
One who is in charge of food and fodder dispatch.

To put it bluntly.

Today, the coalition forces seem to be composed of eighteen princes.

In fact, the two Yuan Shao brothers have the final say.

"Don't worry, Yuanwei. We have been friends for many years."

"I will never shortchange you, no matter who I am short of!"

Yuan Shu said with a smile on his face.

in fact.

Let him be in charge of the lucrative job of allocating food and fodder.

Yuan Shu was still quite dissatisfied.

He, Yuan Shu, is the same as Yuan Shao.

They are all three dukes in four generations.

Why are you, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance?

He, Yuan Shu, was responsible for supervising the grain and fodder.

Isn’t he just the leader?
I can do it too!
Not long after the two of them left.

A scent came over.

"Hey, what's that smell? It smells so good!"

Smelling the aroma of meat, the two of them came to the outside of Ye Chen's camp.

"Who is stationed in this camp?"

Yuan Shu looked at Qiao Mao in confusion.

Qiao Mao thought for a while and then said.

"It should be the camp gate of the merchant caravan accompanying the army, the leader of the Mi family merchant caravan, Ye Chen!"

This time, the eighteen princes held a meeting.

Quite a few caravans from aristocratic families came.

After all, they are not fools.

With the war, there are abundant business opportunities.

There is no need to watch others make money while you stand by and watch.

"Hey, the guards at the camp gate are actually eating meat?"

When Yuan Shu saw the braised chicken legs in the hands of the guards, his eyes almost popped out.

The entire camp gate.

With one sweep.

Everyone actually had chicken legs to eat.

What a luxurious meal this is!
You say that being a leader or something, it's fine if you just have a chicken leg to eat.

Everyone has guards among these hundreds of people.

Two chicken legs make a chicken!
At least these guards eat more than 200 chickens a day!

What a horror! !

"Gulu!"

at this time.

Qiao Mao looked at the scene where the guards at the gate of Yechen Camp were spinning frantically.

I couldn't help swallowing.

Yuan Shu saw the chicken legs in the hands of the guards.

There was a greedy gleam in his eyes.

"Why hasn't the food and fodder been handed over to this camp?"

"I'll be in charge of all the arrangements!"

Ye Chen has so much food and grass in his hands.

If he could get it into his own hands, he would use it to support Yuan Shu's own soldiers.

Isn’t it beautiful? ?
Eat meat for every meal!
I wish the soldiers under my command had the same treatment.

Fighting power and loyalty will definitely be greatly improved.

Maybe he could compete with Yuan Shao for the position of leader of the alliance.

"Lord!"

"Although this person is here, they are not on the list of the sworn alliance."

"Unlike those princes, they are just here to do business."

An adviser standing behind Yuan Shu reminded in a low voice.

"Damn it!"

“What a waste!”

Hear the reminder from his subordinates.

Yuan Shu cursed angrily.

The idea of ​​requisitioning the enemy's food and grass was immediately shattered.

He knows it too.

These caravans cannot be attacked at will.

If we really forcibly requisition food and fodder, who will be willing to follow the army in the future?

It was also customary for merchants to accompany the army.

after all.

It can greatly reduce the pressure of logistics and food transportation.

Ever since the system of merchants accompanying the army was established.

Not many people dare to forcibly collect grain.

"What kind of meat are they eating!"

"Oh my god, it's such a big piece, it looks delicious!"

at this time.

Qiao Mao, who was standing at the side, saw a guard pick up a large piece of braised pork from the bowl. His eyes widened.

After observing for a period of time.

They discovered it.

These guards eat more than just braised chicken legs.

There are also a lot of meats that they can't name.

There are even eggs.

at this time.

The hearts of Yuan Shu and his companions began to tremble violently.

amazing!

terrible!
luxury!

They are just ordinary guards.

I actually eat better than them.

Still every meal is better than theirs!
This is not to mention the soldiers in the coalition forces.

Yuan Shu saw this scene.

A strong sense of jealousy and resentment arose in my heart.

Why?
He is a descendant of an aristocratic family with three generations of officials being officials.

The food they eat is not as good as that of the caravan guards?
Dissatisfied!

I totally disagree!
"go!"

After watching for a while, Yuan Shu was so angry that he could not bear it anymore.

If you keep reading.

I guess he's about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

There was such abundant food and fodder, but he couldn't reach it.

This kind of mentality of looking at the grapes and saying they are sour.

Yuan Shu was almost driven crazy by the torture.

------

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Why aren't these grains mine?"

Yuan Shu returned to his tent.

I could no longer suppress the anger in my heart.

He cursed loudly in the direction of Ye Chen's camp gate.

This time's alliance.

He was already unhappy that he didn't get the position of alliance leader.

Now they see that the caravan guards eat better than their coalition forces.

How could he endure this?
There is another key point.

He wanted to forcibly requisition the food and fodder from Ye Chen's caravan.

I don’t know where to start.

This is even more infuriating.

"My lord, I have a plan."

"It can relieve the depression in my lord's heart!"

Yan Xiang, the chief clerk under Yuan Shu, had been following him.

Of course it's clear.

Why is my master angry?

He just smiled confidently and spoke slowly.

"In my opinion, it is not difficult to obtain food and fodder for Ye Chen's caravan!"

Hear the words.

Yuan Shu's eyes gleamed with a sharp light and he nodded, and Yan Xiang continued.

"Now, Sun Wentai's troops are heading to Sishui Pass!"

"He has sent several letters demanding the payment of grain and fodder."

"My Lord has always been at odds with Sun Wentai, so it is only natural that he is holding back on grain and fodder!"

"But now we can give the task of delivering food and grass to Sun Wentai to Ye Chen's caravan."

"Then the lord secretly sent a fierce general to lead the team, disguised as a soldier of the Dong thieves, to intercept the food along the way."

"Think about the guards of Ye Chen's caravan, there are only a few hundred people!"

"How can we resist the brave warriors under the lord's command?"

"After dealing with all the people from Ye Chen's caravan."

"Doesn't Ye Chen's food and fodder become the lord's food and fodder?"

"Even if Sun Wentai asks the master why he didn't send food and grass in the future."

"My lord, you can also put all the blame on Ye Chen."

"It's not that the lord didn't send the food and grass, but that Ye Chen's caravan was not well guarded and failed to protect the food and grass."

"Instead, he was robbed by the thief Dong!"

"Hahaha!"

"it is good!"

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Shu's face was filled with joy and he clapped his hands and laughed.

"This plan is very fast!"

"What a great plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

"Just do as the master says!"

------

the other side.

Ye Chen received the relevant documents sent by Yuan Shu.

Due to insufficient troops, Ye Chen's caravan was specially dispatched to Sishui Pass to escort food and fodder to Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.

After Ye Chen received the order.

Although I felt something was a little wrong.

But he didn't care.

He now has Dian Wei and Zhao Yun under his command.

Unless Lu Bu personally leads the team to rob the food.

No matter who comes here, they will die.

Ye Chen made some arrangements.

The caravan under his command set out to transport grain to Sishui Pass!
