Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: I help Lao Cao fight the country

Immediately heard another meaning in Zhang Ren's words.

It seems that the food and grass were robbed the last two times, and one of the people present must have leaked the news.

Otherwise, how could Cao Jun be so precise that he was able to escape their search perfectly twice, and he was able to lie in ambush on the only way for the escort without anyone noticing.

If you think about it carefully, someone must have leaked the secret in advance!

For a while, almost everyone felt that the people around them might take out a knife at any time and stab themselves twice.

An atmosphere called suspicion completely enveloped the entire hall.

Chapter 454

In the hall, the air became extremely tense, and many people didn't even dare to breathe out.

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei immediately smiled and said:

"Hahaha! General Zhang Ren is really good at joking, no, no, everyone here is the backbone of Yizhou, who will be Cao Jun's secret agent, General Zhang, worry too much!"

Under the current situation, he had to say this. Originally, Cao Jun was suppressing the situation, and everyone was a little panicked. Once this matter was brought up in such a public place at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If it doesn't work out, everyone is in danger, and Cao Ang doesn't need to attack at that time, and his side will break up immediately!

Zhang Ren naturally knows the tricks in it.

He laughed and said: "What Duke Ming said is very true. Which one of you present is not the pillar of the country, the mainstay of my Yizhou, I am nothing more than a joke, just a joke!"

Having said that, but still the same sentence, who can appear here is an idiot.

Although they didn't identify who it was, they all took precautions.

Everyone discussed here for a long time, but most of them were some irrelevant suggestions. In the end, Liu Bei dismissed everyone because he didn't have a good rest last night and was not feeling well.

Zhang Ren was still the same as before, walking slowly at the end of the team alone, away from the others.

The people in front were talking in groups of three or four in low voices, and some people would look back at him from time to time, and when they saw him looking over, they would immediately turn around and pretend that nothing happened.

Zhang Ren sneered: A group of waste, Yizhou will be annexed by Cao Ang sooner or later in the hands of this group of people!

Just at this time, Fazheng unexpectedly came to his side again within reason.

He whispered: "General Zhang, today's performance is not bad. My lord told you to wait for a while, he has something to discuss with you!"

It seems that Zhang Ren, who had expected it for a long time, was not surprised at all. He just said lightly:

"Then Mr. Lao Xiaozhi will lead the way!"

"Sir, I don't dare to take the word "Mr." General, please!"

Not much time, under the guidance of Fazheng, Zhang Ren came to the study in the backyard.

Here, Zhang Ren not only met Chen Dao, Sun Qian, Zhang Song and others, but also unexpectedly saw Zhao Wei.

Liu Bei got up with a smile and said, "Hahaha! General Zhang Ren, come and sit here, we will all be waiting for you!"

"Duke Ming really ruined his subordinates!"

"Hey! In the main hall, you and I have to put on a show, but here we are all brothers, so there is no need for so many etiquette!"

Zhao Wei murmured in his heart: So our lord talks like this to everyone he sees!

Under Liu Bei's kind hospitality, Zhang Ren sat beside Zhao Wei.

Everyone exchanged polite greetings for a while.

Liu Bei stepped into the topic and said:

"General Zhang, what is the plan you mentioned just now?"

Zhang Rendao: "Reporting to Duke Ming, my subordinate's plan is quite simple. There are two roads on Chengdu Road Zitong, one of which is through Yixiantian, which is the shortest road to Zitong, while the other is far away and belongs to the The next meaning is..."

Zitong!

Sima Yi was already devastated because he ate in one bite!

Even though he was as smart as he was, it was the first time in his life that he participated in such a large-scale army battle, especially since he was the leader of it, which inevitably made him lose a little bit of dignity.

The first thing he faces when he wakes up every day is the problem of food for the army. Facing the shortage of military rations, it really makes his head hurt.

But today, not only did they fail to bring back the food and grass that could stabilize the morale of the army, but they also lost five thousand brothers in vain.

How could this make him happy.

At this moment, the quartermaster came in and reported:

"Sir, it's not good! Menghuo's men and Shamoke's men are fighting over food and grass!"

Sima Yi suddenly felt a pain in his head:

"Where are they? Why are they fighting!"

The quartermaster wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"It's right at the gate of the granary. It's not because the grain and grass have been decreasing day by day in the past two days, and there is no way to feed their people, so the fight broke out!"

"A group of guys who have done more than fail!" Sima Yi said angrily, but still said with a helpless face: "Take me to have a look, don't make a mess at this time!"

In a short time, under the guidance of the quartermaster, Sima Yi saw the troublemakers on both sides.

At this time, the two sides were already fighting in full swing, not only they were here, but many Yizhou soldiers and Qiang soldiers were also watching the excitement.

Sima Yi parted from the crowd and shouted: "Stop it, stop it all, you are all people who live and die together, why bother?"

Everyone saw that it was Sima Yi who was speaking, and the two sides separated amid pushing and shoving.

One of Meng Huo's subordinates said: "Mr. Sima is here, and you came just in time. They Wuxi barbarians are robbing us of our food and grass. What should we do?"

On the other side, a small leader of the Wuxi Man, even though his head was broken, still said indignantly:

"Who the hell robbed you of your food, this is the coalition's granary, why do you get more than us!"

"Wuxi barbarians, you are so unreasonable. We sent 72 troops to the 15nd Cave this time, and you only came here with [-]. Naturally, we have more food and grass than you. Do you even need to ask? Are you calling a donkey? kicked!"

"Bah! Don't talk nonsense. Even so, the food and grass you get are four times as much as ours. We demand equal treatment, which is wrong!"

"..."

The two of you said something to each other, each said their own words, and no one gave in.

Regarding this, Sima Yi had already thought that such a day would come sooner or later, but it came a few days earlier than expected.

Sima Yi said: "Guys, we all came together for one purpose, don't hurt everyone's friendship because of such a trivial matter, it's not worth it!"

The subordinate of Meng Huo said: "It's just right, Mr. Sima, you are here, tell us, can we solve the problem of food and grass? We will help you defend the city from a long distance, and you can't even eat the most basic food." Full, what is the meaning of this!"

The little leader of Wuximan also pointed the finger at Sima Yi: "Yes, you should tell us what's going on, why don't you give me enough to eat!"

"Exactly! Why isn't there enough food and grass?"

"Yeah! I haven't eaten enough for several days. If I knew it, I might as well stay at home. I don't come here to starve!"

For a while, not only Meng Huo and Sha Moke's subordinates questioned, but even the Qiang people and some Yizhou soldiers also shouted.

Sweat dripped from Sima Yi's temples.

"Everyone, don't worry, listen to my explanation first."

"We don't need to explain, we're going to be full!"

"Yes, we have to eat. If we don't eat enough, we will fight a fart battle. It's better to leave!"

"That's right! Let's go back without food, it's better than starving here!"

"..."

Chapter 455 The Grasshopper on a Rope

Sima Yi shouted vigorously: "Everyone listen to me, don't make noise, just listen to me carefully...!"

However, under such circumstances, who can listen to him.

His words were quickly overwhelmed by the chaotic scene.

Everyone clamored that as long as they didn't get enough to eat, they would break up separately.

In the end, it was only because Sha Moke, Meng Huo and others were alarmed that the scene was under control.

Sha Moke said to his clansman: "Everyone, be quiet, there is something that you can't sit down to discuss, what do you look like in such a mess!"

Meng Huo also said: "I am not paying attention, and you are still running around here to make trouble, it is lawless! If Mr. Sima is not because of difficulties, how can he default on our food and grass?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to Sima Yi, and said with a half smile:

"Mr. Sima, you said that this king is right!"

What else could Sima Yi say at this time, only nodded with a wry smile.

Cherage, who arrived at the end, also came over and said:

"Shut up all you guys! What are you guys making a fuss about? I don't think you're hungry, are you all in high spirits? Now that you've come to the border of Yizhou, the real Liu Yizhou can't eat without you! "

Sha Moke came to Sima Yi's side and cupped his hands:

"It's because the king is not strict with his orders, causing trouble for the gentleman, but you also know that the people depend on food, and our brothers can't eat enough. It's really a problem? But I don't know what happened to Liu Yizhou. What's the big deal, why didn't you deliver food to us for so long?"

"Yes, yes! We also have doubts, why is this?"

Sima Yi smiled wryly again and said: "There are a lot of people talking here, the three of you should follow the story in the official hall!"

Meng Huo didn't want to, but said: "Hey!! Why bother, all the people present are my subordinates, and they are all trusted people, there is something to avoid!"

Sima Yi immediately understood the meaning of his words, what does it mean to be a trusted person?

Dare you guys plan this in advance?

Fortunately, these guys played so hard, especially the subordinate of Sha Moke, whose head is still bleeding from the melon seeds at the moment!

Sima Yi hesitated for a while, knowing that if he wanted to hide this matter, he would not be able to hide it for long, and sooner or later the three parties would know about it.

So he simply said: "Since everyone wants to know, let me tell the truth! It's not because my lord didn't bring the food, but he has already delivered it twice, but was intercepted by Cao Jun! We also lost nearly [-] yuan for this." The lives of fifteen thousand soldiers!"

Although the number was exaggerated by Sima Yi, the basic figures were still about the same.

The three barbarian kings were all shocked when they heard the words, and they each took a look, but they didn't feel that Sima Yi was lying on purpose in his words.

The rest of the people also talked one after another.

After another half hour, Sha Moke asked after making eye contact with the other two:

"Mr. Sima, this is not right. Zitong is impenetrably defended by us, and this place is located in a dangerous place. It is almost impossible to go around. How did Cao Jun get behind us and wipe out ten thousand of your army?" With an army of 5000 people, there must be a lot of Cao Jun coming here, right?"

"This is also what I don't understand with Minggong. I really can't figure out how they passed under my nose. Just yesterday, my lord sent 5000 people to escort grain and grass to Yixiantian. They were ambushed by the enemy. 5000 people None of them survived, that’s not counting, and the five thousand people I sent to respond were also caught in an ambush, and none of them came back!”

Cherage frowned: "Sir, you have searched the neighborhood!"

"Oh! It's more than that! When the food and grass were robbed for the first time, I sent people to conduct a carpet-like search around, but the enemy seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no clues. Today I again We sent 1 people and searched near Yixiantian, but there is still no news."

Meng Huo said: "This is a bit troublesome. Once there is no food and grass in the army, the morale of the army will be confused. No wonder Cao Ang has not moved at all in the past few days. Obviously they are waiting for us to run out of ammunition and food!"

"Well! What King Menghuo said is very true. I'm still thinking, Cao Ang had the upper hand in the battle a few days ago, so why didn't he take the opportunity to attack the city? It turns out that he had other plans and wanted to break our relationship. Liang Dao, and then you can take Zitong without any effort, this wishful thinking is really too vicious!"

After listening to Meng Huo's words, Shamoke suddenly came to his senses.

Sima Yi sighed: "Originally, I didn't intend to tell you all these things, so as not to worry the three great kings, but what happened now, I can only tell the truth!"

Cherage said: "It's nothing. Since we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, we naturally have to solve problems together. Isn't it just a team? The king also sent 1 people to cooperate in the search for them." The whereabouts of them, once they are found out, this king will definitely have his cramps!"

"Yes! This king also sent 1 people!"

"I also sent 1 people. I don't believe that they can disappear? As long as they are still in Yizhou, I will dig them out even if I dig three feet!"

Sima Yi felt relieved, with the help of the three families, maybe he could really find some clues!

however!

Reality slapped Sima Yi and the others in the face again.

4 people searched for three days in a row, but they didn't even find a hair.

However, their 4 people were not in vain. Due to the large number of people, Liu Bei, who got the news, took the opportunity to order Zhang Ren to send a batch of food and grass.

Zhang Ren can also be careful, even though there are [-] people in front of him, he still divides his troops very cautiously, and arranges suspicious formations. It took a lot of trouble to transport the food and grass to Zitong.

However, because the amount of food and grass lost in the previous two times was too large, even though the lucky food was successful this time, the amount was too small, and it could only sustain an army of hundreds of thousands for a few days. It's just the problem of food transportation, the key is where to prepare food and grass, which is even more troublesome!

This is a full 40 troops!

People eat and horses feed, every extra day in Zitong is a terrible waste.
