Chapter 586 Military food crisis (recommended)

"Why does my lord want to negotiate a peace? The soldiers have traveled thousands of miles and suffered thousands of casualties to attack here. Seeing that Jiange's generals don't have to bear it any longer, why do they need to negotiate a peace? This Yizhou, the land of abundance, can be taken by the lord."

After all the generals entered the account with Liu Bei, the upright boy Gao Shun said straight.

Liu Bei's relatives put Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, etc. as the most important generals, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Han Dang, Wenpin, Han Meng, etc. are the most beloved generals, and Gao Shun, Zhang He, etc. are the most trusted generals. Dian Wei, Pang De, and Tai Shici are the most, just because they don't form cliques and only serve Liu Bei.

Therefore, although Yu Jin is well-known, it is not suitable to ask, because he has the greatest influence in the army, covering the middle and lower ranks and non-commissioned officers of the Lucheng Army.

When Gao Shun spoke, he didn't have any worries about it. Everyone knew that he only cared about falling into the camp, or that his main business was in forging armor, and he was just an amateur if he fell into the camp.

Liu Bei naturally knew that the peace talks would be very stressful, but blindly attacking Shu will surely cause heavy casualties. If Lu Chengjun suffered heavy casualties or stayed in Shu for too long, it must be Yuan Shao, Han Sui and others spying on Liu Bei's three Jin or Sanfu foundations. land.

However, Liu Bei heard the word forbearance from Gao Shun's words, and immediately said, "forbearance? Forbearance for what?"

Seeing Gao Shun's slip of the tongue, Yu Jin immediately said: "My lord, some people know that my lord is sympathetic to the casualties of the soldiers, but the casualties of the soldiers of the Lucheng Army are compared to the tens of millions of people in the world who suffer and suffer, and some casualties are still affordable."

"Yes! My lord, the people of the Central Plains are in dire straits. If we can pacify Bashu one day earlier, my lord will be able to pacify the Central Plains one step earlier and rule the world."

"Yes!"

"..."

Liu Bei was very happy to hear what the generals said. The generals all understand the righteousness. It seems that the influence of the Sima in the army and joining the army is gradually increasing. Once the rules are established, the rebellion in the army will be greatly reduced.

"My lord, it is absolutely impossible to negotiate a peace. You can kill the envoy with a certain idea to show your determination. The soldiers feel that the determination of the lord will definitely shake the morale. They will conquer the Jiange within a few days. At that time, the army will go all the way south and take Chengdu just around the corner."

Gao Shun said again.

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this. Military affairs have always been handled with Guo Jia. Liu Bei and the generals watched the soldiers attack the city together to improve morale.

Now that his own visit has caused his morale to plummet, how about killing the envoy?
Liu Bei suddenly remembered Gao Shun's forbearance, and felt that there must be something in the army that he didn't know about. When Liu Bei thought about the secrets in the army, he broke into a cold sweat.
Liu Bei sent off the generals in a perfunctory manner, and immediately called Dian Wei.

"My lord, please order!"

"Has there been any major incidents in the military recently?"

Liu Beihu stared straight at Dian Wei and shouted.

Dian Wei stared and said, "My lord, is there anything special?"

"Quickly go to the army to investigate, don't go, send someone."

"Here!"

Liu Bei looked at Dian Wei's leaving figure and felt powerless. Chen Dao and Wen Pin were not around, Liu Bei suddenly felt that he was deaf and blind. Although Dian Wei was loyal, it would not be a problem to kill the enemy to protect his own safety. It is difficult to become Liu Bei's eyes and ears.

How difficult it is for people to make the best use of their talents and use them according to their abilities!
After a while, Dian Wei didn't come, but Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai rushed over laughing together: "I have seen the lord."

Liu Bei calmed down and said, "How is the negotiation?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Sure enough, as my lord expected, after talking with the three of them briefly, all three of them privately asked to see my lord."

"Well! This matter is entirely up to you two, as long as the conditions are not too bad, agree to them."

Liu Bei is so absent-minded, how can he hide the truth from people like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai?The two looked at each other with a feeling of discomfort, Guo Jia asked: "My lord, is there something on your mind?"

"That's not it."

Liu Bei smiled.

Xi Zhicai said: "Could it be because of Zhang Lu's prostitution? I heard that Zhang Lu has a very beautiful sister. My lord would not like his sister! If so, I would like to be a lobbyist."

"Don't be joking, sir."

Liu Bei has no airs, and with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, two confidantes who can be said to be unofficial and light, Liu Bei sometimes feels that it is a great joy in the world.

"My lord, I found out that there is a shortage of food in the army."

Liu Bei's smile froze with Dian Wei's income report, the army is short of food?How big a crisis is this? How many generals died due to lack of food in the army. Could it be that this is what happened to him?
Liu Bei subconsciously looked at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai. The two of them also looked dignified, but they didn't have a corresponding sense of crisis. Liu Bei was stunned. As long history, it is impossible for the two of them to join the army without knowing the lack of food in the army. , Are they also lying to themselves?

Liu Bei subconsciously grabbed the handle of the knife in his waist, and a strong sense of crisis spread throughout his body. Everyone said that being betrayed by the most trusted person around him was the most unbearable, and now Liu Bei felt it exactly.

Even if Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are known as the top conspirators in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei still couldn't help but want to hack these two people who betrayed his trust to death?

Liu Bei's murderous intentions could not be concealed from Guo Jia and the two of them, they also felt guilty, knelt down and said: "I have failed the Lord's trust, I am willing to die, but before I die, please listen to what I have to say."

"Let's talk! Gu still has some patience."

Liu Bei's heart was cold, the two of them might be able to help him pacify the Central Plains a few years in advance, but if the two joined hands to deceive the top and bottom, he could die in the army at any time, causing the great cause of unification to collapse.

Guo Jia took a deep breath and said, "My lord, someone came up with this idea."

Xi Zhicai immediately interjected: "A certain order was carried out and communicated with the generals."

"Humph!"

Liu Bei is very relieved that the two are vying to plead guilty and take responsibility. This proves that they have no second intentions, or that they have no intention of harming themselves.

Guo Jia went on to say: "My lord has a deep understanding of the dangers of Baoxie Road. In addition, the journey is long and people eat horses. My lord is sympathetic to the hard work of the soldiers. The standard of food is very high. Reported the matter to a certain, and a certain could not bear to hurt the confidence of the lord in caring for the soldiers, so he and Chang Shi (Xi Zhicai) decided to reduce the food for the soldiers, although it is still three meals a day, but the standard has dropped a lot."

Xi Zhicai added: "It must be to control the fullness."

Liu Bei was very angry when he heard the two singing together, he said, "Then why is there a shortage of food?"

The two shook their heads in unison.

Liu Bei said angrily, "Bring Sima Duzhi."

Liu Bei's Sima Duzhi was Su Hun, the younger brother of the Su family, who was born as a merchant of the Su family, so it was not difficult for Duzhi.

Duzhi Sima Suhun came to the big tent and saw Guo Jia and the two kneeling on the ground, plus the previous generals came to the camp to make trouble, and immediately understood that the matter was exposed, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "I am guilty."

"What's the crime?"

Liu Bei asked coldly.

Su Hun said: "The transfer of food and grass is not in time."

"Since you are convicted, how do you know how to convict him?"

"The crime deserves beheading."

Liu Bei said: "In terms of seniority, I should call you uncle. Why didn't you tell someone directly? And why is there a shortage of food in the army?"

Su Hun said: "My lord, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has expanded his enrollment by tens of thousands of people. My lord requested that grain and grass be supplied to Youzhou first. Xun Changshi's grain and grass were delivered in a timely manner, but the road was muddy due to rain, so the delivery date was delayed on the road."

"When will it be here?"

"Up to three days."

Su Hun said swearingly.

Liu Bei said again: "How long can the army ration last?"

Su Hun said: "It's not a problem to last for four or five days."

Liu Bei nodded: "When the rations arrive, I can borrow something from you."

"Here!"
