The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

So Liu Zheng was very happy when he heard the news from Fu Shiren.

"General Huang Zhong, you have brought us good news this time."

"At first, I thought that if we wanted to capture Hanzhong, we would have to fight Guan Yu hard, but now that their food supply has been cut off, we don't need to take the initiative to attack. We just need to wait here for a month and watch Guan Yu's army mess up. gone."

Liu Zheng praised Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong also smiled happily, and bowed his hands to Liu Zheng to salute.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Guan Yu didn't have much food and grass around him, but they dared to attack Hanzhong after only half a month of food and grass. Their courage is really great!"

Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, heard that Huang Zhong and Liu Zheng were already happily planning to celebrate at this time, but he opened his mouth to remind.

"Your Majesty, General Huang, the truth of this matter is not yet known. We should make this decision after careful confirmation!"

"Then it's hard to say whether Fu Shiren really took refuge in us, and the news that came out of his mouth is also open to question. But our army only needs to stick to Ziwu Valley, so that Guan Yu's grain and grass cannot be transported, and we should be able to occupy a favorable position."

Guo Jia is still more cautious, and wants Liu Zheng to make perfect arrangements.

Hearing Guo Jia's reminder, Liu Zheng nodded immediately.

"What Feng Xiao said is very true. Now is not the time to celebrate. Huang Zhong, you immediately send people to guard the Ziwu Valley. Make sure that the Ziwu Valley is in the hands of our army!"

"It's Your Majesty!"

Liu Zheng, Guo Jia, and Huang Zhong briefly discussed the next plan in the camp, and then immediately went down to make arrangements.

Anyway, Liu Zheng would not send his soldiers and horses to take the initiative to deal with Guan Yu.

Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, just wait for Guan Yu's soldiers and horses to mess up.

It's time to clean up the mess.

Just then Huang Zhong cut off Fu Shiren's grain road and looted their grain and grass.

The news also spread to Guan Yu's camp.

Although Huang Zhong and others did not leave alive.

However, according to the scheduled time, Fu Shiren should arrive in Guan Yu's Chenggu County on the third day.

When the appointed time came, Fu Shiren did not see Fu Shiren bringing the food delivery team here.

Guan Yu naturally understood that something must have happened to Fu Shiren.

Then send some spies to investigate in the direction of Meridian Valley.

It doesn't take much effort to find out what happened in Meridian Valley.

After all, as soon as their spies arrive at Ziwu, they will be beheaded by Huang Zhong's troops left here.

The spies disappeared, and Guan Yu's army in Chenggu County naturally knew about it.

At this time, Guan Yu's army camp in Chenggu County.

Jian Yong stomped his feet anxiously.

Jian Yong already understood what happened in Ziwu Valley.

He had roughly guessed from the news sent back by the spies that Fu Shiren should have been captured by Liu Zheng's soldiers.

The Ziwu Grain Road is now also noticed by Liu Zheng's men.

This channel for transporting grain from Chang'an to Chenggu County will no longer be used by Guan Yu's army from today onwards.

The food and grass transported by Fu Shiren was lost, which is not a small matter.But once the Meridian Grain Road is controlled by Liu Zheng, the matter will become more involved.

On the one hand, Liu Zheng can control the trail from Hanzhong to Chang'an.

On the other hand, Liu Zheng now has the throat of Guan Yu's army.

Let Guan Yu's army not have enough food and grass to be supplemented in a short time.

This matter is still unclear to Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu were to know the situation that their tens of thousands of troops were facing now, I'm afraid this matter would be even worse.Unable to bear it, Guan Yu may make some irrational actions.

This is what Jian Yong is worried about.

"Where's General Guan?"

Jian Yong asked the guard beside him.

Although this matter may make Guan Yu lose his composure, Guan Yu is the general of Hanzhong after all, and he will have to be notified of this matter sooner or later.

Chapter 975 Discussion

Jian Yong came to Guan Yu as soon as he got the news from Ziwu Valley.

But at this time Guan Yu was on the front line inspecting the troops under his command.

They have been besieging Nanzheng City for some time now.

These days, Guan Yu often went outside Nanzheng City to conduct inspections. In fact, the so-called inspections were just Guan Yu leading the troops stationed outside Nanzheng City to conduct drills.

Cause some big enough commotion, so that Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and others in Nanzheng City will be afraid.

Although there are only 4 soldiers and horses stationed in Nanzheng City.

However, 4 people are enough to surround the entire Nanzheng City, so that Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and others in the city dare not go out of the city to fight Guan Yu.

Guan Yu withdrew from outside the city to his camp in Chenggu County according to his daily practice.

As soon as he came back, he was found by Jian Yong.

"General Guan is in trouble!"

As soon as Jian Yong saw Guan Yu approaching, he hurriedly approached Guan Yu and yelled at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was in a good mood these two days. After all, it had been some time since the siege of Nanzheng City. Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city were very anxious, but he was not in a hurry. Everything was under control.

You only need to wait for Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and others in Nanzheng City to run out of food and grass. At that time, Guan Yu will have the upper hand and take Nanzheng directly, just around the corner.

But at this moment, Guan Yu saw Jian Yong approaching him with an anxious expression on his face.And say out loud that something bad happened.It also caught Guan Yu's attention.

"What happened to Mr. Jian Yong, I'm making you anxious!"

Jian Yong was very anxious, but when Guan Yu didn't know what happened, he looked casual and calm.

He didn't think there was anything that could make him feel urgent at this moment.

Jian Yong didn't hesitate either, as soon as he saw Guan Yu, he immediately told what happened in Ziwu Valley.

"The general is in trouble. Just now our spies went to Ziwu Valley to investigate, but the grain and grass that should have been transported today did not come!"

"Has the food not arrived yet?"

Only then did Guan Yu frowned.

realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Who is responsible for transporting grain and grass this time?"

Guan Yu immediately questioned Jian Yong.

Jian Yong didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately told Guan Yu the information he had.

"This time, it is General Fu Shiren who is in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass. According to the time, yesterday afternoon, the grain and grass should have been transported to Chenggu, but until this morning, General Fu Shiren was not seen, so I sent troops and horses to I checked the road on the side of Meridian Valley."

"The results of it?"

Jian Yong immediately described some detailed details to Guan Yu.

This time, Guan Yu's expression became even more ugly.

Guan Yu, who was still very calm at first, immediately understood the troubles he encountered.

"Fu Shiren, he has always been a more careful person, how could such a mess happen?"

At this time, Guan Yu had a good impression of Fu Shiren. After all, although Fu Shiren was not very good, he was still reliable in his daily work, otherwise he would not have followed Liu Bei for so many years. After all, he was still useful.

It's not good for fighting, but it's still very good at logistics.

"General Fu Shiren shouldn't be in trouble, but I'm afraid that this Ziwu Valley will be discovered by others. I sent some spies there before, but there was no response. It means that something happened to the grain transportation team. Near the west city, next to Liu It must be that Liu Zheng's troops discovered General Fu Shiren!"

Although the news of Fu Shiren and others being arrested has not yet spread, but with Jian Yong's cleverness, he naturally guessed what happened to Fu Shiren very quickly.

Right now, Guan Yu heard Jian Yong's words, and immediately understood what impact this matter would have on their army.

"Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses cut off our food supply? This is not a good thing, does my elder brother know about it?"

Guan Yu realized that this matter was not up to him alone.

Then he asked Jian Yong if Liu Bei already knew about it.

"My lord doesn't know about this yet. He has already gone to Ma Chao's camp, and I haven't had time to tell him yet."

"Quick, send someone to bring my elder brother back immediately. He must know about this matter."

"Because once the grain road in Ziwu Valley is cut off by Liu Zheng's troops, the situation in the Hanzhong area will change drastically. Our army's current grain and grass can only last for about 20 days. Once the grain and grass problem cannot be solved within 20 days, I am afraid that the south Zheng Cheng has not been defeated, but our army has already messed up first."

"I understand, I will send someone to invite the lord."

Jian Yong also understood that what Guan Yu said was true.After all, the reason why he came to Guan Yu so urgently was because he realized the seriousness of this matter.

Soon, the two of them didn't stare blankly here, and hurriedly sent someone to summon Liu Bei.

Liu Bei happened to be supervising the battle in the Hanzhong area, and it was better for Liu Bei to decide this matter than Guan Yu.

Not long after, Liu Bei was invited over by them.

On the way here, the spies sent to invite Liu Bei have already briefly described in detail how Jian Yong and Guan Yu came to him.

Knowing the importance of this matter, Liu Bei naturally immediately put aside the matter in front of him, took Ma Chao with him, and came from here together, intending to discuss this matter with Guan Yu.

As soon as he arrived at Daying in Chenggu County and saw Guan Yu and Jian Yong, Liu Bei asked them.

"Second brother, Mr. Jian Yong, are you sure that the grain road in Ziwu Valley is blocked by Liu Zheng's troops?"

When Liu Bei asked directly, Jian Yong nodded solemnly.

Take the initiative to answer Liu Bei's words.

"My lord, just now my spies came back and reported to me what happened in Ziwu Valley. Now they have found out that there are traces of Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses in the western city. If there is no accident, General Fu Shiren should be killed by Huang Zhong. People cut it off."

"Furthermore, Huang Zhong's army should have known about the Ziwu Valley's food road. Now that people have been sent to guard the passage here, it is difficult for our army to transport our luggage from here."

As soon as Jian Yong said this matter, Liu Bei's face suddenly sank.Can't help but start to have some regrets.

"Well, Mr. Cheng Yu told me back then that transporting grain and grass from the Meridian Valley was a very risky act, but I refused to listen. Now that Huang Zhong's troops have cut off the grain and grass, it's my own fault."

"My lord, I can't blame you for this matter. Originally, our food escort team had enough soldiers and horses. In Ziwu Valley, there were spies and soldiers stationed there. Huang Zhong's men wanted to cut off our food road. Easy, but just these days, General Guan Yu's army is besieging Nanzheng, which gave the enemy a chance."

Chapter 976

"It's useless to say these things now, let's talk about how to solve the problem of food and grass."

Although Liu Bei regretted not listening to Cheng Yu at the beginning, he insisted on transporting grain and grass from Ziwu Valley.

But he is not a person who will always be immersed in regret.

After expressing his regret for his original decision, Liu Bei quickly recovered and began to think about what they should do next to deal with the shortage of food and grass.

After saying these words, Liu Bei turned his gaze to Jian Yong and Guan Yu who were at the side.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Bei to ask.

During the period when Liu Bei was still here, Guan Yu and Jian Yong had already started to discuss.

In fact, some results have been discussed.

At this time, just waiting for Liu Bei to ask, Guan Yu spoke first.

"Brother, now we only have two paths to go!"

"Our army's food and grass in the Hanzhong area has not been much, and now the food and grass for the next half month have been intercepted by Liu Zheng's people. If we can't get Hanzhong within 20 days, our army will have a shortage of food and grass!"

"So we can only capture Nanzheng City within 20 days, and then march westward to capture the entire Yizhou. We can only kill the army to Yizhou. The food reserves of the people in the land of abundance are enough for our army to not worry about food and grass in a short time!"

Guan Yu is actually the main battle.

After all, the purpose of their coming to Hanzhong this time is not to occupy Yizhou. Now that they have surrounded Nanzheng City, they only need to continue to send troops to attack Nanzheng City, wipe out the main forces of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, and then attack Xichuan. It's not too difficult.

According to the current strength of Guan Yu's army in Hanzhong to storm Nanzheng City, the odds of winning are still very high.
