Chapter 820: Difficult Question
The potter rushed into the Qi Valley, and what he saw along the way was full of crying soldiers, burned grain stacks, and those ruins and broken walls, as well as those soldiers running around to rescue the fire, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with raging anger.
The potter felt as if he hadn't been so angry in years.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang...... You are still concerned with the princes, you wait!
When he was young, the potter, under the guidance of the scout, came to Zhao Yun's face.
As soon as he saw Zhao Yun, the potter was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Yun, who was involved in this matter, had already taken off his armor and shirtless with the support of the soldiers, revealing his body covered with blood.
He was covered with gunshot wounds and knife wounds behind him, but he had not fallen, he sat quietly on a stone pier, his back was straight, his eyes were looking ahead, although he was covered in blood, his momentum was still not half a point.
Several medical officers were surrounding Zhao Yun, giving him medicine, bandaging, and stopping the bleeding.
The potter walked quickly to his side, dragged an older military medical officer, and said, "General Zhao's injury, how is it?" ”
The old medical officer's face showed a trace of bitterness, shook his head and sighed: "Prime Minister, General Zhao's injury, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not ......."
The potter's head was as if he had been struck by lightning.
He hurriedly walked up to Zhao Yun's side, holding his hand tightly, tears in his eyes.
"Second brother!"
There was no trace of blood on Zhao Yun's pale face, and although the wound on his chest was bandaged with a white cloth, the blood printed on the white cloth was extremely eye-catching, and it seemed that it could not stop the surging blood in his body at all.
But his expression seemed disapproving: "Third brother." ”
The potter shook his head and said, "I'm not a good brother, the other party has such a stupid plan, I didn't see through it, and you ...... the second brother."
A smile hung on the corner of Zhao Yun's lips: "There are some things that can't go against the will of heaven after all, and you don't need to blame yourself too much, third brother." ”
The potter's heart is like a knife, and he can't help himself.
"Second brother, I can't stand you...... Don't worry, I will avenge you for everything, I will definitely kill Liu Bei and Cao Cao! ”
Zhao Yun was very emotional when he heard this, but then he pondered and pondered, it seemed that it was a little unpleasant.
He said to Tao Shang: "Third brother, I listened to what you said, why do you still want to say that I am going to die?" Your second brother and I are just a little injured, and it looks scary, but it's not a big deal. ”
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Zhao Yun who was like a bloody man, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, didn't the medical officer tell you the truth?" ”
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "I said it, but he didn't say that I would die?" Are you listening? ”
At this time, I saw the medical officer rushing in front of the potter, and gasped breathlessly: "Prime Minister, the old man has not finished speaking, why did you leave?" The old man just told you that General Zhao's injury is not easy to heal, and he is recuperating for a while. ”
The potter's face darkened all at once.
He stood up, smiled at the old doctor, and said, "Why are you talking and panting?" ”
The old doctor sighed helplessly and said, "The old man, the old man, the old man is like this...... Always panting. ”
The potter patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is a disease, it has to be cured, you are a medical officer, why can't you cure your own mouth?" Go back and quickly fix this problem, otherwise it will not only harm yourself, but also harm others. ”
"No, no, no!"
……
The potter asked people to take proper care of Zhao Yun, and then went to find Li Tong, at this moment it has been a while since the time to put out the fire, although there are still dotted fires burning everywhere, but it can no longer constitute a particularly big harm.
The efficiency of ancient people to fight fires is far greater than that of later generations, they rely on manpower to manually transport water and sand, so as to control the fire, if the water source point and the fire point are not far away, it is fine, but once the fire point is too huge, it is more headache.
Fortunately, there is a water source point in Qi Valley, which is next to the Tunliang camp.
When the potter saw Li Tong, Li Tong himself was still unkempt and full of smoke.
Judging from this situation, Li Tong seems to have suffered a lot tonight, at least he personally went into battle to put out the fire.
He can be regarded as the chief general of the first army, and it is really not easy to achieve this point.
The potter stepped forward and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Wenda, this time it's really hard. ”
Li Tong hurriedly clasped his fists at the potter, and said: "Don't dare, the last general has lost guarding the grain and grain, and was attacked by Liu Bei, causing such a loss, it is really ashamed, although he died a hundred times, he can't forgive a certain sin." ”
The potter waved his hand lightly and said, "It has nothing to do with you, I was yin by the other party this time...... Forget it, let's get the field back in the future, how much can we lose this time? ”
Li Tong wiped the sweat from his head and said in a low voice: "A lot...... Far more than has been preserved. ”
"How many?"
Li Tong lowered his head and said a number to the potter.
The smile on the potter's face stiffened slightly.
"So much...... That is to say, the remaining grain is only enough for my army to use for a month? ”
Li Tong nodded helplessly.
The chief of the pottery merchant sighed, he commanded 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the daily consumption of grain and grass was huge, but fortunately, Jinling and Xuzhou were rich, and it was not a big deal.
Since he led the army, except when he first started fighting the White Polish Army, he never seemed to worry about food and grass.
But this time, the situation was a bit more than he could have imagined.
This grain and grass was just raised by Han Hao, Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun and others for him to help him, and now he has lost so much, and the remaining grain and military supplies are only enough for one month......
Not to mention whether the party can extract enough grain and grass in this month's time, that is, it can be raised, but so many military supplies, just from the counties and townships in the south of the Yangtze River to coordinate and dispatch, in the enthronement register, the number of statistics to be transported to the front-line army, I am afraid that these tasks alone will have to be more than a month......
If they want to replenish the military supplies again, with the ability of Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun and others, the potters estimate that they will have to give them at least two months.
But in this way, there is a one-month time difference in between.
It's a bit of a tricky thing to do.
The potter rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and began to feel a little worried.
In the battle of Guandu back then, in the face of Yuan Shao's wolf-like tiger and overwhelming soldiers and horses, he didn't seem to feel so difficult to do as he did today.
"Prime Minister?" Li Tong's voice interrupted the potter's train of thought: "What should we do next?" ”
The potter pondered for a moment and said: "Count the remaining grain and transport it to the main camp, there is only one month's grain storage, but there is no need to buy a special place to store grain, all of it is transported to the army...... As for what to do next, I have my own way. ”
The potter's words are purely bragging, he just wants to settle the army's heart first, as for the method, he really has no good tricks at the moment.
He is not a money printer, he can make money if he wants to, let alone food.
But at the moment, the easiest and most direct way for the potters is to defeat the alliance army of Cao Cao and San Liu within a month!
But the problem is that it doesn't seem to be any less difficult than raising food.
