The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

After Chen Deng delivered the roster and the donated items, everyone was amazed. The people on the roster included not only big and small families in Xuzhou, but also many big families in Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places.

The most important thing is that what Liu Bei needs most now, whether it is food, medicinal materials, or war horses, has everything that one expects to find, and there are many of them.

"With these materials, we can reduce the urgent need!" Liu Bei was also very excited. These big families' actions were not based on catties, but on the basis of ten thousand stones. It was no problem to support an unusually large-scale war.

"Your Majesty." Just when everyone was excited, Chen Gong's complexion did not improve, and the export was shocked: "Although these supplies are large, they are only enough for the consumption of soldiers and horses from all walks of life. Now Jizhou and other places need a lot of food and grass. The rest of the supplies are fine, but food is not enough.”

"This......"

Liu Bei faced a choice again, either continue to transport this batch of grain to the north, or transport the grain to various armies to support the current war.

"The minister believes that the battle situation should be the most important thing."

Jian Yong stood up to support the use of supplies for the army. He and Liu Bei have walked along the way. He can be said to be a founding father-level existence, and he has been reused by Liu Bei. He holds a high position. Few people here can compare with him. He said, Everyone needs to pay attention.

"Otherwise, if the northern side is corrupt, it will damage His Majesty's heavenly power and be detrimental to the stability of the great man." As Sun Qian, who started his family following Liu Bei, holds the same status as Jian Yong.

Everyone supported one side and discussed for a while, but still failed to come up with a result. On the one hand, the army was in urgent need of food and grass, and on the other hand, the disaster in the north required relief.

"Actually..." Everyone heard the sound and looked, and it turned out that Gan Ning, the admiral who came back with Chen Ziming, spoke up and wanted to say something, but seeing everyone, he was silent again, and all the people who participated in the discussion just now were civil officials. , Although the military also sent people to participate in the discussion, but those who came were some of the lower ranks.

Although being able to come to the main hall to discuss matters, the ability and position is enough, but compared with this group of civil servants, it is much worse. After all, generals with sufficient military rank are leading troops outside to fight. Gan Ning's status is enough, but as a navy general, this war It seemed that it had nothing to do with the navy, nor was it involved in it. Now that he spoke suddenly, everyone looked over, making Gan Ning, who was not good at words, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay to say Xingba!" Liu Bei smiled slightly, and nodded to Gan Ning to continue.

Everyone is also waiting for Gan Ning's next words. Although Gan Ning is in command of the navy, he is a first-class general in the military and represents the military here. No matter what, everyone has to listen to the opinions of the military.

"Your Majesty." Gan Ning cupped his fists in salute, and then said: "Just now I heard that both Mr. Gongtai and Mr. Yuanlong collected a lot of food and grass, but it was not enough to support both parties at the same time. Why don't your majesty divide the food and grass in half? It will allow both parties to relax for a period of time."

"Ha ha."

"Why......."

After hearing Gan Ning's words, everyone shook their heads secretly. They thought Gan Ning could come up with some good solution, but now they feel that Gan Ning is a bit ignorant and naive.

These grains and grasses are enough for either side, but if they are used separately, there will not be much time for the two sides to support them, and it may be that both sides are corrupted. Whether it is disaster relief in the north or this war, it will not be within a month or two. Finish.

The disaster in the north is okay, after more than half a year, the newly planted grain will be harvested, and they will be self-sufficient, but they will have to support it for half a year.

Needless to say, this battle, the four powerful enemies came to attack, Cao Cao even held the idea of ​​destroying Liu Bei, it can be said that he came out in full force, and it was fierce, and it could be over in a month or two, and it could be over in half a year. The big battle is already the biggest expectation.

But everyone knows that this is almost impossible. In this era, after a big war, it is not a big deal to fight for a year or two.

"Xingba doesn't know something." Liu Bei said with a wry smile, "If we divide it and use it, both parties can only last for one or two months. .”

"I've made up my mind, the priority is to keep the north safe and sound. All the armies are following the previous discussion, focusing on defense, and they are innocent of defeat." Liu Bei saw that everyone couldn't come up with any good solution, so he had to follow the previous discussion.

"This matter is feasible. With these grains, the north will not be hindered. All the soldiers and horses only need to persist for half a year. The grain harvests in various places will be good, and the big man will have no worries." Chen Gong also agreed with Liu Bei's approach. As long as the rear is stable and the front line retreats slightly, There is still a chance to move back.

But in the case of lack of food and grass, it is very difficult to persist for half a year. At least Jingyang without reinforcements will definitely not be able to hold it. Liangzhou and Hanzhong will also be crushed by Cao Cao and others with absolute strength. How much can be saved in the end? It's easy to say.

When everyone was frowning, Gan Ning spoke again: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished my words."

Gan Ning was also very depressed, he was interrupted as soon as he had finished speaking, and was given a lot of contemptuous looks by the group of literati, now he is fine, no one is talking nonsense, he just found an opportunity to speak.

After receiving Liu Bei's permission, Gan Ning continued: "Your Majesty has just said that the existing food and grass will be divided in half, so that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the north can persist for two months. Two months is enough."

"What's the explanation?" Liu Bei was taken aback, but he didn't understand what Gan Ning meant. Could it be that Gan Ning had a way to repel the attacks of various soldiers and horses within two months.

"Your Majesty, in two months, there will be enough food to support the needs of all parties." Gan Ning's words made everyone puzzled. At this time, how can so much food be produced in two months? Is it true that the navy is going to Jiangdong? Grab food?

"Yizhou?!" Chen Ziming asked Gan Ning uncertainly, now only Yizhou, an overseas place, can grow grain on a large scale. If Gan Ning hadn't asked, he would have forgotten that Yizhou's climate is suitable for growing grain. Two years ripe.

"Yes!" Gan Ning replied firmly: "After Yizhou was occupied by the navy, he listened to the prime minister's order, mobilized a large number of high-quality seeds, brought new production technology, planted a large area of ​​grain in Yizhou, and transported it from the Han Dynasty. Many people went to open up wasteland in Yizhou, and I got a report from the Ministry of the Navy that Yizhou’s late-season grain will be harvested in two months, and by then, nearly a million shi of grain will be available.”

"What, nearly a million stones!"

"I've heard that the land in Yizhou is fertile, and it can grow early and late crops a year. I didn't expect it to be so much."

"Very good, God bless the man!"

Everyone was very excited. In this way, they were connected, and the food problem was solved. They finally saw the hope of overcoming this difficulty.

"Yizhou? Sun Quan?"

However, Chen Ziming thought of a possibility, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 4 Nineteen Soldiers Attack Shangdang City

"Old General Yan!"

Outside Jiameng Pass, a group of generals clasped their fists in salute to the mighty veteran who came riding not far away.

"Excuse me, generals."

Veteran Yan Yan laughed, and dismounted beautifully, his spirits trembling, without the fatigue of a long journey, giving people a cool and mighty feeling.

"The army enters the city!"

After veteran Yan Yan handed over to everyone, the endless army of long dragons behind Yan Yan slowly entered the towering Jiameng Pass.

"Emperor's Edict!"

Yan Yan took out a roll of Huang Juan and said loudly: "The Emperor ordered this general to be the commander in chief, and General Zhang Ren to be the deputy commander. We will attack Hanzhong with [-] soldiers."

Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses from Yizhou finally arrived, and the person in charge of the troops turned out to be Yan Yan, the most prestigious general in Yizhou, which shows that Liu Zhang attaches great importance to this campaign.

"General, there is Liu Bei's general Huang Zhong in Hanzhong, who has [-] elite soldiers. How can we wait for these soldiers and horses?" Fighting against each other, I have a deep understanding of Huang Zhong's bravery and the combat power of his troops. It is very difficult to take down Hanzhong, where Huang Zhong is in charge, with [-] Yizhou soldiers.

"Hahaha." Yan Yan laughed and said: "Liu Bei's soldiers are the elite of the world, and Huang Hansheng's name is also known to the world. He can hold a stalemate with General Zhang, so it can be seen that he is not a man with a false name."

"However, I came here this time and got the emperor's instruction. I learned that Liu Bei, a rebellious minister and traitor, lacks food and grass. Send a large army to attack Jingyang, an important place, and also send troops to join us in attacking Hanzhong, Huang Zhong, how can we resist the emperor's army."

"In this way, I can go to Hanzhong." The generals were very excited after hearing this. After Huang Zhong came to Hanzhong, he made troubles for them.

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard!" General Pang Le pleaded.

"No hurry." Yan Yan shook his head and said: "The emperor has an order. I have to wait for Prime Minister Cao's soldiers to attack Hanzhong first to attract the enemies of Hanzhong. Then we will take the land of Hanzhong."

"promise!"

The generals took orders, and they were all leading generals. After listening to Yan Yan's words, they all understood the meaning. Although Cao Cao was Liu Zhang's subject in name, they all knew that it was only on the surface. The emperor puts it in his eyes.

Just now I said that the emperor Liu Zhang ordered Cao Cao to send troops, but it was just a written word game, no one would take it seriously, and Cao Cao joined forces to attack Hanzhong. Of course, let Cao Cao attract the enemies of Hanzhong, and then they take Hanzhong. This is in line with Yizhou Interests.

If Hanzhong falls into the hands of Cao Cao, it is impossible for Cao Cao to give it to Liu Zhang. At that time, Cao Cao is likely to attack Yizhou in turn and kill Liu Zhang, the emperor. Everyone in Yizhou is not an idiot. Liu Bei is a traitor, but Cao Cao Not a good bird either.

At the time when troops from all walks of life were urgently mobilized, Shangdang had already launched a fierce siege battle. Cao Hong's [-] soldiers had already surrounded Shangdang. Cao Hong decided to destroy Liu Bei's troops in Shangdang City. , There is no such thing as three missing one.
