The messenger sent by the lord will probably take another month, and this month, with the current number of our army, it will be at least 50,000 stone of grain. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Fei's eyebrows frowned, the current army is in chaos, food has become a controlled thing, there are not many things to say, there is still a way, but there are many of them, and they can't be gathered in a short time.

Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't speak, Chen Deng began to analyze the interests again, talking about the old words, but what he said was that those who voluntarily stayed, which were the elite and so on.

Zhang Fei waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I have long been tired of hearing it, but now there are more and more soldiers leaving, and it should be controlled in time." ”

Chen Deng also wants to change, but they are now under siege, no matter how they move, they must think twice, if they don't do well, they will be swallowed up.

Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "General Zhang, it is the top priority to receive the lord at the moment, and there must be no other incident, otherwise if something happens, how to substitute for the lord." ”

"If it really doesn't work, General Zhang will train the soldiers, improve morale, and also consume the surplus energy of the soldiers, and keep as many soldiers as possible."

"Hmm." Zhang Fei replied helplessly: "Is there no other way to curb this momentum?" ”

If there was a way, Chen Deng would have done it a long time ago, and he was still waiting for Zhang Fei to ask, and now they just had to wait for Liu Bei to come and meet.

After complaining and venting, Zhang Fei's irritable heart also improved a lot, and under Chen Deng's comfort, he had no choice but to go to training.

In addition to three meals a day, soldiers and horses are being trained, although this can achieve the purpose of reducing escape, but the root cause is still not solved.

Here Zhang Fei was troubled by the departure of the soldiers, and Liu Bei also encountered some situations, that is, the military and civilian marches were too slow.

If he does not join Zhang Fei's department for a day, Liu Bei's heart will not be stable, if he leads an army to leave first, the large army left behind, in case of an emergency, no one will call the shots.

can be mentioned quickly, these ordinary people, if they can't keep up, give up on them, it must not work, otherwise they will not be brought in the morning.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei summoned Jian Yong and Mi Zhu to ask if there was a way to improve the speed.

In Dazhai, which was temporarily stationed at night, Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and Mi Zhu and said, "I summoned you here today to ask if there is any way to improve the speed." ”

Jian Yong thought for a while and said: "My lord, the people walk slowly, and they all have too much baggage, if you don't let the soldiers help, reduce the burden on them, and let them march on foot, it should increase a lot of speed." ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "The army helps to share the burden, but I am afraid that it will damage the appearance of the army, and if there is any accident, I will not be able to respond in time, this method is a little inappropriate." ”

Mi Zhu thought for a while and said: "What the lord said is reasonable, otherwise, we will buy some cattle and horses along the way to transport the people's burdens, which should reduce the burden of the people." ”

In troubled times, cattle and sheep are more expensive than human life, not to mention that at the moment, if you want to buy it, you will have to spend at least several times more money.

Liu Bei frowned and said: "The way is good, you can buy it from all over the way, but I am afraid that it will cost money, and I won't get much." ”

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Zhu has a little relationship with merchants from all over the world, and I should be able to talk to them and buy them at the most suitable price." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "Okay, then it's hard work, and when you have a place to live in the future, you must keep your merits in mind." ”

"This is what I have to do, and my lord doesn't need to do it." Jian Yong and Mi Zhu bowed and replied respectfully and neatly.

Liu Bei waved his hand and let the two leave, and then fell into a solitary thought, he wanted to join Zhang Fei's department as soon as possible, and he was also in a hurry to go back.

Liu Bei wants to find someone to discuss the big plan at the moment, but there is no one to say, Jian and Mi, a little thing, can also be discussed, but about a long-term place to live, there is no long-term vision.

Therefore, Liu Bei urgently needs to get what he wants from Chen Deng's mouth, so he is in a hurry.

After a night, Liu Bei's army restarted, and Mi Zhu collected cattle and horses in various places with his past feelings.

But it has little effect, because these are all controlled by the government, and it often costs a lot of money to make a profit, and they are all lame horses eliminated in the army, or old ploughing cattle.

However, something is better than nothing, and it still has a little effect, making the march a little faster.

In this way, the journey that was supposed to take a month was raised to more than twenty days after Liu Bei and others tried their best.

The two armies converged, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei first hugged with joy, and then a group of people talked and laughed and entered the barracks.

They all sat down, and Zhang Fei took the lead and said: "Big brother, you are finally here, these days I can worry about the death of the third brother, now I am waiting for the two armies to meet, where to attack next?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Bei smiled on his face, turned to Chen Deng and asked, "This matter should be discussed by everyone, and the military advisor will tell me your opinion first?" ”

Chen Deng arched his hand and said: "There are two strategies for Deng, but they are not perfect, since the lord asks, let's say a few words." ”

As Chen Deng revealed his plan, the faces of everyone in the account began to slowly sink into contemplation.

Liu Bei had just been occupied by a dove, and now he wanted to take refuge in others and do exactly the same thing, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhang Fei was more short-tempered, and immediately said after hearing this: "The two strategies of the military and the division are all done by villains, so it is better to fight back to Xuzhou with the current strength." ”

With the current strength to fight back to Xuzhou, even if it is a fluke, but in the face of the fierce eyes of the princes from all walks of life, I am afraid that it will be annexed.

At present, the only option, as Chen Deng said, is to vote for one side of the princes and try it slowly, although the effect is slow, but it is safe.

In the face of such a big decision, Jian and Mi naturally did not dare to make false statements, in case of a wrong move, they were afraid that they would be turned into pawns in the hands of others.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, Hugh is talking nonsense, what the military advisor said is good, there is only such a choice at the moment." ”

Seeing Liu Bei's approval, Zhang Fei could only sit down stupidly, with displeasure on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was not comforted, and said to Chen Deng: "What if Liu Biao and Liu Zhang don't accept it?" ”

Chen Deng smiled and said: "No, these two people are the same as the lord, they are both relatives of the Han family, and they all need assistants in front of them to calm the territory for him." ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Then with the intention of the military advisor, which side is the most appropriate?" ”

Chen Deng replied: "Deng's intention, in Yizhou, but this road is far away, I'm afraid there will be accidents, so this decision is still made by the lord himself." ”

Yizhou is indeed good, and the Han Dynasty can be established because Liu Bang occupies Yizhou, which is known as the Tianfu Shu Kingdom.
