In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, from July, the whole world was paying attention to the Jingzhou battlefield.

With Cao Cao's withdrawal from Chang'an, Liu Bei said that the queen withdrew from Hanzhong and returned to Yizhou, and there was no war on the western front, so there was no concern.

On the eastern front, Cao's army gathered the 26th Chinese and foreign armies to defend the Wu army, and the Wu army was unwilling to cross the river for a decisive battle, so there was no war on the eastern front.

The only war was in Jingzhou, Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army of less than 30,000 people on the Northern Expedition, swept through Xiangfan, almost completely annihilated Cao Ren's Southern Expeditionary Army, and then flooded and forced to land in the Forbidden Seventh Army, completely annihilating Pang De's Liyi Army. Nearly 70,000 troops were defeated, among which the surrendered army from Jingbei was quickly absorbed and reorganized by Guan Yu, and the strength of Guan Yu's command increased.

Who wouldn't be surprised that the battle has come to this point?

Even Mi Fang in the rear was a little foggy and unbelievable.

So much so that as soon as it was dawn on the second day, Mi Fang's servants sent a letter of worship and invited Tian Xin to a banquet in Jiangling New Town to tell about the experience before and after the Xiangfan War, so as to satisfy the curiosity and sense of honor of the families and children of the generals and colonels in the city.

Tian Xin was having dinner and asked the servant: "Yesterday afternoon, I sent the army Sima to lead people to carry firewood, it seems that the soldiers under the tent are arrogant, and they offended the soldiers under the command of Mifu Jun?" ”

"There are many vulgar soldiers, and verbal conflicts are common, and Captain Tian doesn't have to worry about it. When my master hears this, he will laugh at it. ”

"May I ask if the Mifu Jun banquet can be postponed for a few days? It's not that I don't respect the king of Mifu, but it is the prince who has an order to make me properly settle the surrendered army. Among the surrendered troops, there are many old soldiers in the battle of Guandu and the siege of White Horse, and they are old people who are princes and marquises, and they must not be slack. Only after I rebuilt the barracks so that the troops could be fed, clothed, and clothed in food and clothing, did I dare to be distracted from personal matters. ”

The old servant of the Mi family replied with a smile: "Guan Junhou is strict in governing the army, so naturally he should put business first. I wonder when Captain Tian will be free? ”

"About four days later, on the sixth day of September? On that day, Tian took a break, left the camp on weekdays, and could follow Mifu Jun in the middle of the day. After the middle of the day, my sister fostered the prince's mansion and had to take time out to visit. ”

Tian Xin raised his hand as he spoke, and Yan Zhong, the commander of the tribe, turned around and went to the earthen house to get something, and the old servant of the Mi family showed a clear look on his face and smiled much kinder.

Not wanting Yan Zhong to take out a plate of bamboo slips, Tian Xin picked up a roll of bamboo slips and spread it out to look at it and then closed it and put it back on the plate: "I am on the list of meritorious deeds of the righteous army, and as usual, in October, each army will be issued with a coarse silk for winter clothing, which will be rewarded for the meritorious service of our military officials, and a total of 9,862 pieces of cloth and silk will be required." At the order of the prince and the marquis, these cloths were issued by Gangneung before September 15. ”

The old servant of the Mi family looked at these bamboo slips: "Captain Tian, can you be concerned with the official documents of the prince and the marquis?" ”

"The prince should have issued a document to Jiangling, and I will take the merit list today, just to facilitate the verification of the Mifu monarch. Our soldiers have been in Rong for almost a year, and they miss their homeland very much. Therefore, after September 15, our military officials will take turns to return to their hometowns to see their relatives, and they hope that the Mifu monarch will take care of them more. ”

Not long after sending away the old servant of the Mi family, Hu Ban, the captain of the water division, came to say goodbye, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and his tone was dissatisfied: "Xiaoxian, Mi Mansion Jun said that the treasury is empty, and I am afraid that I will not be able to reward the Xiangfan army." Yesterday, let me say that the king of Mifu can support 26,000 horses. This is not even enough winter clothes, how can I explain to the prince? ”

Tian Xin took the bamboo slip and opened it, it was Liao Hua's handwriting, and saw that Guan Yu needed 52,000 pieces of cloth.

Except for the winter clothing for each of the officers and soldiers of the whole army, the rest are predetermined rewards.

Now the Jingzhou army on the battlefield of Xiangfan, after absorbing the troops of the two counties of Jingbei, counted 5,000 troops from the headquarters of Guan Yu, 4,000 from Guan Pingping's thief army, 4,000 each from Lei Xu and Xiahoulan, 3,000 from Guo Mu, the new Nanxiang Taishou, and 8,000 sailors, with a total strength of 28,000 people.

This time, when Hu Ban went north, he had to take away 5,000 Jiangling and public security guards, and when distributing winter clothes and fabrics, Guan Yu needed at least 33,000 horses.

Therefore, 33,000 horses of winter clothing cloth are certain to death, and there is no room for delay.

Hu Ban also said: "The prince asked for 52,000 horses, but the prince of Mifu only gave 26,000 horses. ”

Tian Xin was still reviewing the list of materials issued by Liao Hua, except for military consumables such as cloth, medicinal materials, and arrows, there were many other bits and pieces, but he did not ask for money.

It's not that the money is useless, but that the 'straight hundred and five baht money' issued by Liu Bei has collapsed in credit, to the point where it is difficult for the people to circulate.

Before the capture of Yizhou, the army fought hard in Yizhou for several years, and Liu Bei promised not to pay a penny to himself after success, and the capture was distributed to the soldiers. After capturing Yizhou, the whole army was rewarded, and only Guan Yu and the other four people received a total of 200 million yuan in rewards.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun's advice, Liu Bei almost rewarded the houses, manors, and fields inside and outside Chengdu to the meritorious soldiers.

The great reward was certainly happy, and then Liu Bei fell into the embarrassment of having no money to use.

Therefore, the implementation of the straight hundred and five baht, that is, a ten gram of straight hundred and five baht is worth one hundred Shu five baht, Shu five baht each weighs about three grams, is the world's circulation, the best reputation of the currency. The Battle of Hanzhong lasted for several years, and Zhibai and 5 baht money was forced to buy supplies in the official market, barely supplying the Battle of Hanzhong.

But just last year, one of the minting centers of Qianwei County, there were powerful Gao families and Ma families who could not bear to gather people to rebel, and tens of thousands of followers were broken by Qianwei Taishou Li Yan.

Because of this rebellion, Zhuge Liang, who stayed in the rear, asked Yang Hong if he wanted to fully support Hanzhong.

Up to now, the weight of the straight hundred and five baht coins minted by Liu Bei is as heavy as the five baht of Shu, but the face value is 100 times, which is equal to the depreciation of the currency 100 times.

Therefore, when I became a soldier these days, I no longer paid attention to the military salary or not, and regarded money as dung, and everyone liked food and cloth.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan were even worse under the rule, and even the coins that barely circulated were gone...... There's no way, who let Yizhou and Nanzhong still produce copper?

Tian Xin didn't know that the fifteen warships that he sank in Fancheng Dongcheng could not be manufactured in the short term in terms of Yizhou's depressed economy and people's power.

He held the bamboo slips that were spread out, turned his head and asked, "Brother Boxu, what about the rest of the materials?" ”

"All are not neat, the more give eighty percent of the quota, and the less such as cloth only give fifty percent of the quota. The people under the command of Mifu Jun repeatedly interceded, saying that when they came back to Jiangling, they would be able to make up for the shortfall. ”

Hu Ban mourned: "The prince has promised to allocate winter clothes early, and now he is incompetent, and the prince will lose his trust in the army." ”

What else can Tian Xin say when he sees this?

Mi Fang made it clear that Guan Yu was given eye medicine, could it be that now he ran to Mi Fang to tell the truth of the Northern Expedition, and Mi Fang would be able to wake up and make up for the materials?

People dare to give Guan Yu eye medicine, where will they look at themselves?

What are you?

may be in the eyes of Uncle Mi Guo, he is like a monkey jumping out of a crack in the stone, which is a rarity.

Tian Xin rolled up the bamboo slips and asked, "Brother Boxu, but he set off on schedule on the fourth day of the first lunar month?" ”

Seeing Hu Ban nodding, Tian Xin said: "I have a secret letter to send to the prince, Brother Boxu will take this secret letter and submit it to the prince, and the prince will understand Brother Boxu's difficulties." Mi Fujun is here to take the opportunity to make trouble, it is not up to you and me, you and I are tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, and it is useless to say more. ”

Hu Ban sighed, with mixed feelings.

Tian Xinxin's new attachment also knew the reason why Mi Fang was making trouble at this time, and as Guan Yu's cronies, Hu Ban naturally knew better.

Previously, Mi Fang was the general of Jiangling, and there was a faint mission to supervise the army.

With Liu Bei ascending to the throne of Hanzhong, with Wu Yi's sister as the queen, and Liu Chan, the son of Mrs. Ligan, as the crown prince, the Mi family's position was quickly occupied by the Wu family, so that Mi Zhu's name did not appear in the "Hanzhong King Persuasion Table"!

This is a very dangerous signal, you must know that when he first attacked Yizhou, Mi Zhu's status was very transcendent.

Jingzhou even worshiped Guan Yu as a former general and a fake Jieyue, and the specifications were equivalent to Liu Bei's personal expedition. That is, up to the generals, county guards, down to the common soldiers, and those who violate military law, Guan Yu can be killed.

That's right, the Mi family is on the verge of being eliminated.

The huge investment of manpower and material resources in the early stage, and the investment of the clan in following the wandering world for more than 20 years, are all in vain at this moment.

In order to curry favor with the Dongzhou family, Liu Bei married Wu Yi's widowed sister as the queen, and also made Liu Chan, who lost his mother, the prince, completely ignoring the existence of Mrs. Mi and Liu Yong!

A hundred years after Liu Bei, how could the Wu family let go of the Mi family?

Mi Fang was not happy in her heart, she couldn't make Guan Yu happy, and she didn't even want Liu Bei to be happy.
