Uncle, please help the Han family

The Youzhou treasury has long run out of food, and it would be troublesome to get it out, so I just built the supply station right now, and then assembled the soldiers and horses of Jicheng to march quickly.

In this way, food and soldiers can reach the front line at the same time.

As long as you notify the defenders of the Great Wall and let them stand firm for three days, reinforcements will arrive within three days.

Then even Youzhou might not be able to win this battle!

"Okay, this is a great plan!"

Liu Yu was amazed by Liu Bei's resourcefulness, after all, even he didn't expect to be able to do this.

"Then Gongsun Zan, how should the lord respond?"

Liu Bei smiled shyly, and then quickly returned to the topic.

Gongsun Zan also noticed the movement of the enemy army, but she knew very well that the Hu people's goal was the wealthy Yuyang and Guangyang, not Liaodong and Liaoxi under his rule, so she would definitely not care about fighting.

Unless you have 20 shi of grain in place.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu replied: "Give her five thousand shi of grain and let her guard Liaodong to prevent foreign invasion from the east."

Of course, the five thousand shi grains were sent to beg for food.

An army of 3 people went out to fight, and the food was simply impossible.

The nature of this wave of food supply is probably equivalent to——Zan, it’s not easy to be alone in other places, don’t starve yourself, I’ll give you this month’s living expenses first, if it’s not enough, I don’t have a father, so take care of yourself.

In fact, your father and I still have 50 shi.

"If that's the case, then Gongsun Zan will definitely not send troops."

Liu Bei knows Gongsun Zan's temper. If you don't give her food, she might go out and beat the barbarians by herself. Sit back and watch this war.

But this kind of threat has no effect on Liu Yu, and he is not afraid at all.

"I just want her not to fight."

Lowering his voice, Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Is it because you don't want Gongsun Zan to take credit for it?"

"Not only that."

Liu Yu shook his head. He thought about what he said for a while, but he still didn't plan to say it, because it was a bit arrogant.

However, after half a year of training, stockpiling food, building weapons with the mother stone of the imperial court, and recruiting Shu Han all-stars as commanders, Liu Yu felt that the goal of this battle was not to lose.

Hu people, this time I want your horses, but I won't spend any money.

……

"General, the letter from Master State Shepherd has arrived."

In Gongsun Zan's mansion in Liaodong, a group of core officials were discussing important matters with Gongsun Zan in the mansion, when a soldier came to report.

"Guan Jing, take a look."

Gongsun Zan gave a signal, and then the soldier handed the letter to this thin man with dark eyebrows, and stood aside.

After Guan Jing picked up the letter and read it, he frowned, looking a little serious.

"What? Liu Yu is unwilling to give 20 shi?" Gongsun Zan felt something was wrong.

"too much."

Guan Jing shook his head.

"Tsk, it's too much." Putting his hand on his forehead, Gongsun Zan thought that Liu Yu must be scared out of his wits in such a critical situation, so in order not to destroy the city, he would cruelly give up half of the food in the farmland and ask him for help.

But sure enough, it was a bit too much.

Clicking his tongue in displeasure, Gongsun Zan compromised and said, "Okay, one hundred thousand shi of grain, one price, and I'll help him fight the barbarians into the desert."

"too much."

"This is too much? Impossible, this is the bottom line, I will never back down!"

"My lord, why don't you ask me how much Liu Yu is willing to give?" Guan Jing put down the letter in his hand and looked at Gongsun Zan.

Frowning slightly, Gongsun Zan asked suspiciously, "How much?"

Guan Jing slowly stretched out his hand, facing Gongsun Zan with his palm.

"Fifty thousand?" Although Gongsun Zan was a little dissatisfied, he reluctantly agreed, "Well, although I'm a little stingy, this food is enough for our army to feed for the first half of the year..."

"It's five thousand."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone was stunned.

"With five thousand stones of grain, thirty thousand troops march out, and most of them will be eaten every time they go on the road! How can we fight this battle?"

"That's right, at least 50 shi were produced in the farmland, so why only give us [-] shi?"

"This battle can't be fought, absolutely can't be fought."

The complaints of these generals represented Gongsun Zan's thoughts at this time.

She knew what Liu Yu was thinking. He wanted to wait for the five thousand shi of grain to be eaten, and then let Liu Yu's grain officer resupply his soldiers, trying to assimilate his army into the Youzhou army.

This guy Liu Yu must have had this idea a long time ago!

In order to deal with this threat, Gongsun Zan never let his army be subject to Liu Yu's control.

You people should treat you.

"Then don't fight."

Like most of the generals, Gongsun Zan directly expressed his attitude.

"That's just right." Guan Jing nodded lightly, and then, under everyone's gaze, relayed, "The order of the state shepherd is to let us stick to Liaodong to prevent foreign invasion."

"!"

Gongsun Zan, who originally thought that he had the initiative in his hands, did not expect that Liu Yu would not let him help when the great war came.

Outrageous!

No, it's nonsense!

"Is this letter really from Liu Yu?" Staring at the messenger, Gongsun Zan questioned angrily, "If I don't want to send troops, who does Liu Yu plan to resist Wuhuan Xianbei? ?”

"Return to the general!" The soldier was stared at shiveringly, and quickly replied, "After being inquired by the villain, the state shepherd left Qi Zhou and Zhao Gai to guard the city, and he himself led the army to conquer Wuhuan Xianbei!"

"..."

Hearing this news, Gongsun Zan was dazed at first, then covered his mouth and let out a 'puchi' laugh.

After Gongsun Zan laughed, the rest of the generals also burst out laughing.

After all, in their impression, when Liu Yu led the army to fight, in order not to burn down the houses of the people and not accidentally injure the people, he would deliberately drag the battlefield to an open space.

Isn't this kind of person afraid of being arrested by barbarians?

"Come here, order a white horse for a thousand righteousness."

"My lord, is this going to help in the battle?" Guan Jing asked puzzled.

Gongsun Zan proudly crossed his legs, then put his hands on his cheeks, and said playfully, "No, it's just to watch the battle."

Chapter 34

Standing on the high platform for sacrificial offerings in the school grounds in the east of the city, Liu Yu wore a robe and armour, dressed in silver, with a gold-plated saber bestowed by the emperor pinned to his waist, pointing at the soldiers going out.

There are [-] infantry and [-] cavalry in the school grounds. Although the number is not huge, they are all equipped with armor weapons made of black mother stone, and there is almost no variegation on their bodies. As a local state soldier, this level of soldiers Equipment is rare.As a local armed force, generally speaking, only about [-]% of the soldiers can be equipped with Heiwu weapons, and about [-]% of the soldiers can be equipped with Heiwu armor, and it is not pure mother stone, basically mixed with copper and iron.

This is the result of Zhao Gaiju's efforts to forge troops across the state.

These 9000 people are the most elite ready-to-combat troops in the Jicheng garrison, and they are out of production only for combat.

According to Zhao Gai's description, the last time he saw an army with such an aura was the Luoyang Forbidden Army.

Of course, there is no comparison in terms of quantity, after all, the size of the state is very different from that of the country.

"Lord."

The sacrificial officer standing beside Liu Yu saw that the preparations were ready, so he reminded the lord to start holding the sacrificial flag.

Turning around, Liu Yu turned his back to all the soldiers and faced the altar.

Because Liu Yu is a noble royal family and a prince in the true sense, the second-level sacrificial Shaolao (second only to Tailao sacrificed by the Son of Heaven) was adopted for this expedition.

On the altar, there are two pig heads and sheep heads that have just been slaughtered, and three bronze wine vessels are placed in front of the head of the animal, which are filled with wine made from grain.

Generally speaking, Liu Yu should drink all these wines in one gulp, praying for God's blessing.

But looking at these two bloody heads...

It's YUE.

The naked eye can see small flying insects swimming in these two bottles of wine, which are probably attracted by the blood of livestock, which is quite unhygienic.

"My lord, please drink."

The sacrificial officer saw Liu Yu holding the cup and paused for a while, so he reminded him in a low voice.

"..."

Lifting the wine bottle, Liu Yu froze slightly when he drank it into his throat.

Gulu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then, the wine was sprinkled slowly in front of the sacrificial altar.

Seeing this scene, many officials present were dumbfounded and began to look at each other.

The soldiers below also questioned inexplicably, what is the lord doing?

However, Liu Yu's high-pitched voice came from the altar:

"I don't want to drink this wine. This bottle is for the heroic spirits who died in battle!"

Salute to the heroic spirits who died in battle!

How lofty this sentence should be!

As soon as Liu Yu said this, all the soldiers below became excited, seized the ground with their guns, and let out a neat roar: "Ho Ho Ho!"

"It's a good sentence to respect the heroic spirits who died in battle." Zhao Gai nodded, and said to Qi Zhou beside him, "Now the Great Wall is in an emergency, and thousands of garrison troops have to resist more than 5 barbarian troops. There are good men in Youzhou who live and die in a foreign land, so they should drink this bottle of wine first."

"My lord is wise." Qi Zhou nodded, his eyes full of admiration.

Then, Liu Yu raised the second bottle and slowly threw it to the ground.

"I don't want to drink this wine. This bottle, let me respect the life that is in ashes!"

"Hoohoho!"

Nearly [-] soldiers once again seized the land with black guns, causing the earth under their feet to start rumbling.

"It's a good sentence to respect the creatures who are in the charcoal." Zhao Gai nodded and said to Qi Zhou beside him, "No matter what the war is, the people suffer, especially the people in Youbei. Every time they experience looting, they suffer May lose a loved one, or more. This bottle of wine, they should drink."

"My lord is benevolent." Qi Zhou nodded, his eyes began to be a little sour.

Finally, Liu Yu picked up the third bottle and held it high.

Zhao Gai: "My lord should drink this cup."

Qi Zhou: "Indeed."

"This bottle." After spilling the full bottle of wine on the ground, Liu Yu said loudly, "I respect the loyalty of the world!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yu turned around, pulled out the sword bestowed on him by the emperor himself from his waist, and let out a 'clang' that tore open the air! After the sound, the blade pointed directly at the sky above the head.

"Let's go!"

……

Shanggu cavalry new army barracks, the main general's tent.

Standing on the sand table covering all terrains inside and outside the Great Wall, Zhao Ziyu began to pace left and right.

The one next to him is probably in his forties, wearing a high-ranking official hat, with small eyes that seem to be closed when he doesn't deliberately open them. The counselor is Wei You, who was specially selected by Liu Yu to assist Zhao Ziyu' Politics, Committee' role.
