Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 518
"Father Bin, Yuanzhi, you two are responsible for preparing food and grass first."

After talking about the deployment of troops, Liu Xie looked at Yu Yunwen and Yao Chong next to him, and spoke slowly.

"Since the recovery of Qingzhou, the weather has been good and the people have continued to farm. With the help of Mr. Ma Junma's farming tools, the grain harvest has been abundant. In addition, wealthy gentry from all over the country are grateful for the Lord's kindness and donate a lot every year. Our grain and grass reserves It’s not a problem, it’s enough to support an army of [-] for three years of combat.”

Yu Yunwen thought that Liu Xie was asking them to prepare food and grass for the army going east, so he immediately came out and explained in detail.

Liu Xie shook his head when he heard this, and said: "I know what Father Bin said, the food and grass I'm asking you to prepare now is not for the army to travel to Japan, but for the hungry number of Himiko. Thousands of men.

Immediately, Liu Xie told Hima Gonghu and his men that they escaped Gan Ning's pursuit and fled to a small island on the northern shore of the Bohai Sea, and then slowly talked about borrowing troops from him.

Everyone present was an absolute confidant, and Liu Xie no longer deliberately concealed it and told everyone his true plan.

"Since this is the case, there was a problem with the granary in Jinan some time ago. A lot of grain and grass in it were wet by the rain and became moldy. I was worried about losing it, but now it happened to use this batch of grain and grass to feed the Japanese. abdomen."

Yu Yunwen didn't think about whether it was reasonable for Liu Xie to send an army to attack Dongying now. He knew Liu Xie very well. Since Liu Xie had come to Qingzhou in person, it was enough to prove his firm determination.

At the moment, Yu Yunwen smiled lightly, his voice was slightly cold, and he came up with a somewhat sinister idea.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but tense up, felt chills in their hearts, and even looked at Yu Yunwen with some taboo.

Leading troops to fight, the most fearful thing is the lack of food and food poisoning.

Moldy grain and grass soaked by rainwater, even a strong war horse will suffer from convulsions after eating it. If a soldier eats it accidentally, it will cause large-scale food poisoning. .

As a top strategist and adviser, how could Yu Yunwen not know these things?

But now that he offers a plan to use moldy grain and grass from Jinan to help the Japanese, it proves that he did it on purpose.

Yu Yunwen did this on purpose. He never fought or grabbed, and was gentle to others, but the most taboo thing was for others to take advantage of Liu Xie and the people around Liu Xie.

Himi Gonghu actually used tricks to hold several wives hostage, including Zhen Mi, Liu Xie's regular wife, but it angered Yu Yunwen, an honest man, and planned to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

When Liu Xie heard this, he shook his head and said: "This plan is too cruel. Those Japanese soldiers have been hungry for a long time, and their health is not as good as usual. If one of them is not good, they will all be tortured to death, and they will become bad." our real plan."

Everyone thought that when Liu Xie showed his kindness, Liu Xie paused and thought seriously: "At least half of the good food and grass must be mixed, don't teach Hima to see that it was done by us. .”

"Forehead……"

All the generals were speechless for a moment, they all knew that their lord hadn't changed at all, and he was by no means a person who would not take revenge.

Yu Yunwen smiled in agreement, and agreed with his hands. Looking at his appearance, he thought he was going to take charge of this matter himself, and he did it seamlessly.

After a long talk, it was too late.

Both Yu Yunwen and Xue Li knew that Liu Xie was exhausted, and they didn't dare to continue to disturb them. After the matter was over, they and Li Jing and others resigned one after another.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Liu Xie couldn't take it easy. Accompanied by Xue Li, he went to visit the military camp.

As for Diao Chan and Mi Zhen, they were also escorted home by Liu Xie's servants.

Qingzhou's military camp is extremely large, with flying flags and majestic armor. Although it is only normal, it can be seen that the training is in full swing, showing a vigorous momentum.

After the Qingzhou soldiers knew that the lord Liu Xie was coming, they put on their armor one by one, polished their weapons, kept their waists straight, and worked hard in training.

Liu Xie walked and watched, and from time to time, he would take the initiative to talk to the soldiers to learn about some situations.

The soldiers were very excited and answered intermittently with thick accents.

Although Liu Xie also felt that it was quite ceremonial and official for him to go out like the big figures mentioned in the news in his previous life, but now he knows that this is really necessary. Nothing can inspire these soldiers to fight for their loyalty more than his words heart.

Xue Li is worthy of being the famous commander of the Tang Dynasty. With the cooperation of him and the generals, the Qingzhou army can't see the traces that it was adapted from the remnants of the Yellow Turban from the inside out. Xuzhou's soldiers and horses are weak.

"Hey, why are there still children in the army?"

Under Liu Xie's rule, it was relatively peaceful and there were many people. There was no need to recruit children as soldiers like other princes did.

Suddenly, in the barracks, he saw a child who was wearing armor one size bigger and not as tall as a spear. He was still in military uniform and no one chased him away.

"Returning to my lord, this person's name is Deng Ai. This child is pitiful. He was born dumb, and his parents died early in the war. But he is able to endure hardships, understand, persevere, and is quite extraordinary at a young age. Both civil and military are excellent. What is even more commendable is that he has determined to join the army since he was a child, to train himself, and to train harder and harder than ordinary soldiers."

Xue Li admired Deng Ai very much and praised him again and again.

"Deng Ai? Isn't that the disciple of Shi Yuan?"

After hearing Xue Li's explanation, Liu Xie suddenly realized that Deng Ai had been accepted as a disciple by Pang Tong.

In history, Deng Ai was so self-taught. He sneaked into Yinping and was the first to lead an army into Chengdu, which directly led to the demise of the Shu Han regime.

Now that Feng Chu is his teacher, and Xue Li, Yu Yunwen, Zhao Yun and others are teaching him, it is hard to imagine how high he will grow.

Looking at the seven or eight-year-old Deng Ai in front of him, Liu Xie couldn't help but think of Jiang Weilai who was accepted as an apprentice by Zhuge Liang. Jiang Wei was also in a similar situation.

Among these two, Jiang Wei is recognized as the most capable military general in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. Although Deng Ai was close, he was only ranked third after Jiang Wei and Wen Yang, and he was even stronger than Zhong Hui, who almost became king on his own. Some.

"Small body but great ambition to serve the country, Shi Yuan is a well-received apprentice."

Liu Xie smiled lightly and praised him without hesitation, but he didn't call Deng Ai over. After turning around and looking elsewhere, he went back to the governor's mansion. After getting ready, he had a dinner with the civil and military officials of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is full of talents, many of whom are old people who followed Liu Xie early.

Besides Yu Yunwen and Yao Chong, people like Li Dian, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao also worked in Qingzhou.

It's just that the three of them were still leading troops in Le'an County and Jinan Guoyi to guard against Yuan Shao in Hebei. Although Liu Xie missed him, he couldn't see him.
