Chapter 459: Who Counts Whom

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Xie Gong and Qin Ziwen both judged that Liu Xiujun's grain and grass were insufficient, and in their barracks, there was more than enough grain and grass. Liu Xiujun's logistical supply was cut off, but Xie Gongjun's logistical supply has always been endless.

Moreover, Xie bowed to the Shangshu Order, and the speed of collecting grain from all over the country was also fast, and no county Taishou and county order dared to offend the Shangshu Order who held real power. If Xie Gong is willing to help Liu Xiu solve the problem of grain and grass, it will be as easy as a hand.

But under Qin Ziwen's persuasion, Xie Gong finally chose to stand by and watch. He sympathized with the 100,000 soldiers under Liu Xiu's command, but he was even more jealous of Liu Xiu.

The day after Liu Xiujun arrived in Handan, he notified Xie to join forces to attack Handan City. Qin Ziwen's advice to Xie Bow was that his side did not have to attack with all his strength, just bluff, beat the side drum, and let Liu Xiujun fight the main attack.

First of all, there are many defenders in Handan City, the city defense is strong, and the casualties of the assault on Handan are too great, and secondly, if Handan City is really captured so quickly, it will not have the effect of consumption on Liu Xiujun.

Qin Ziwen's original intention was to consume as many of Liu Xiu's soldiers as possible.

When Liu Xiujun and Xie Gongjun joined forces to attack Handan, Xie Gongjun really did not contribute to the city, and when attacking the city, the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

Liu Xiujun used all his strength on his side, but it didn't take long for Liu Xiujun to retreat. It's not that Handan City is really so difficult to fight, but Li Yu and Zhang Shen led more than 100,000 Wang Langjun to follow, worried that their back would be attacked by the enemy, so Liu Xiujun had to give up the siege and choose

Retirement.

Because the battle did not last long, there were no casualties on Liu Xiujun's side.

It's just that after returning to the camp, all the generals are holding back their anger. Xie Bow didn't make any effort, just watching his own side attack Handan, but Xie Bow's army was waving flags and shouting on the side.

Wu Han said indignantly: "Wang Langjun is hateful, but Xie Bow is ten or a hundred times more hateful than Wang Langjun!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, and with his thanksgiving performance, it was difficult for him to treat him as his own anymore. If you have the opportunity, you may stab yourself in the back.

At present, the grain and grass left over by Liu Xiujun is no longer enough for even one day's normal consumption, and the officers and men in the army have changed from two meals a day to one meal a day. If this continues to be consumed, the officers and men of the whole army are indeed in danger of starving to death.

The situation on the battlefield now is very interesting, and it can be said that it is very strange.

Liu Xiujun and Xie Gongjun were obviously on the side of the imperial court, but Xie Gongjun and Wang Langjun had the same mentality, and they both sat and waited for Liu Xiujun to have civil strife first because of the lack of food and grass.

Liu Zhi proposed to Liu Xiu that he go to the camp of Xie Gong again, and in any case, he would borrow some food from Xie Gong first. Liu Xiu did not dissuade Liu Zhi and nodded in agreement.

If you don't hit the wall, the soldiers don't know how much it hurts, they don't get rejected a few times, and the soldiers won't understand how vicious Liu Xuan and Liu Xuan's henchmen are.

Liu Zhi went to the camp of the Xie Bow Army again. Like last time, Xie Gong personally received Liu Zhi and treated him with good wine and food. Looking at this table full of wine and food, Liu Zhi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

In his own camp, more than 100,000 soldiers were hungry, and their eyes glowed blue, and now even if all the delicacies of the mountains and seas were in front of him, he could not raise the slightest appetite.

He sighed and bowed to Xie and said, "Xie Shangshu, our army is in a big camp, and there is a shortage of grain and grass, hope...... Xie Shangshu can temporarily lend some food to our army. ”

Xie bowed and took a sip of wine, and asked with a smile: "General Liu, I don't know if your department's food is enough for a few days?" ”

Liu Zhi pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, it's only enough for half a month." ”

Xie bowed and raised his eyebrows, and looked at Liu Zhi intently. After a while, he suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Half a month is enough!" In half a month, you and my army are enough to break through Handan! ”

Liu Zhi swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly changed his words and said, "Under the ...... It is an exaggeration to say just now, and the food and grass of our army is less than what it needs for ten days. ”

"If it is less than ten days, then one province is enough for ten days."

Liu Zhi frowned secretly and said, "Actually, it's less than five days. ”

Xie Bow shook his head and said with a smile: "General Liu still doesn't seem to be telling me the truth!" ”

General Liu Zhi was heartbroken, and said bluntly: "In fact, the grain and grass in the army are not even enough for today's needs!" I also hope that Xie Shangshu can help and solve the urgent needs of our army! ”

Xie Gong didn't expect that Liu Xiujun's food had been used up, and he didn't even have a day's worth of military food.

He was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "General Liu doesn't know everything, our army's grain and grass are almost exhausted, and we are waiting for the grain to be transported from the rear." ”

Liu Zhi squinted his eyes, he lowered his head and looked at the wine and food in front of him, this is still called the consumption of grain and grass?

He hurriedly said: "Xie Shangshu, now that you and I are in Handan, facing a strong enemy, we are a family, we are in trouble, Xie Shangshu really has to stand by and watch?" ”

Xie bowed and smiled bitterly: "General Liu, it's not that I don't want to help, it's really that I don't have enough heart and strength!" You can't let me send all the rations of my soldiers to your headquarters and make your soldiers hungry, right? ”

Liu Zhi couldn't help it anymore, stood up suddenly, glared at Xie Bow, and said in a deep voice: "So, Xie Shangshu insists on standing by and watching? ”

Xie bowed and sighed, and said, "Our army is really short of food and grass!" ”

Liu Zhi's face turned pale with anger, he raised his hand and pointed to the dishes in front of him, he looked at Xie again, and said, this is your lack of food and grass?

Xie Bow said helplessly: "If it weren't for the purpose of entertaining General Liu, I wouldn't have eaten such a sumptuous meal in the barracks for a long time......

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Zhi kicked over the small square table in front of him, and the dishes on the table were scattered all over the ground. Seeing this, all the generals under Xie Bow's command stood up in unison, holding swords in their hands one by one, and glared at Liu Zhi angrily.

Liu Zhi ignored the people around him, looked at Xie Bow with a cold gaze, nodded, and said: "Xie Shangshu's kindness today, I, Liu Zhi, have written it down, if there is a chance, I, Liu Zhi, will repay Xie Shangshu twice!" ”

After speaking, Liu Zhi strode out. Liu Zhi was born in the Julu family, when did he suffer such a nest. Looking at Xie Gong's hypocritical and coy appearance, he felt sick to his stomach.

was so rude in front of Shang Shuling, how could the generals under Xie Bow let him go, and people got up and left the table one after another, standing at the mouth of the camp tent, blocking Liu Zhi's way.

Liu Zhi's eyes were gloomy, and he asked with a sneer, "Want to kill me Liu Zhi?" Try it out! ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone's faces.

Everyone present was frightened by Liu Zhi's sharp and cold gaze. Xie Gong'an sat on the collapse and said slowly: "Since General Liu is in a hurry to return to the camp to resume his life, the generals will send General Liu on my behalf!" ”

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses! Although Liu Xiujun ran out of food, after all, it was an army of 100,000, if he really killed Liu Zhi at this time, it would not end well, and if it was not good, Liu Xiudu would have to lead his troops to attack him, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Hearing Xie bow's words, the generals put down their hands holding the hilt of their swords one after another, let go of the camp tent, and waved their hands one by one without smiling and said, "General Liu, please!" ”

Liu Zhi turned around and glanced at Xie Gong coldly, snorted, and walked out.

Back in his own camp, Liu Zhi told Liu Xiu and the generals about the trip.

After listening to his words, Wu Han was so angry that he had his liver and lungs, stood up suddenly, and said to Liu Xiu: "Lord, since you are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!" He doesn't borrow food, so we'll rob it! ”

"That's right! Lord! Let's go to the camp of the Xie Gong army to grab food! ”

"Lord ......"

This time, most of the generals were on Wu Han's side, and they all supported their own proposal to go to Xie Gong's army to grab food.

Liu Xiu asked expressionlessly: "Let's go and fight with Xie Gongjun to lose both, so that Wang Lang can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and enjoy the success?" ”

With one sentence, he made everyone present speechless. Deng Yu glanced at Liu Xiu, his mind turned, showing an expression of righteous indignation, and said: "It's too much to deceive people, thank you is really too deceitful!" ”

Zhu You gritted his teeth and said: "Lord, I said a long time ago, Liu Xuan's mind is vicious, and it is not enough to believe it, if I am loyal to Liu Xuan, sooner or later I will be killed by him, so the lord will take all of us to rebel!" ”

In the past, not everyone under Liu Xiu's command hoped that Liu Xiu would ascend to the throne, and some people still had illusions about Liu Xuan.

But this incident made those civil officials and military generals who had illusions about Liu Xuan completely desperate.

We are fighting for you, helping you to quell the rebellion, but when we need help the most, you stand by and fall into the ground, why should we help you to fight? Why are you still fighting the enemy for you?

"Lord, it's the other way around!" In the Chinese military tent, whether it is a military general or a civilian official, they all speak in unison.

Liu Xiu's brows tightened, his face sank, and he scolded: "No one can say anything about such a big rebellion, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

The anger that people sprung up was suppressed by Liu Xiu. But it is only suppressed, not extinguished, and the more ruthless it is suppressed, the stronger the explosive power will be when it explodes. This is also what Liu Xiu wants most.

If Liu Xiu at this time has no enterprising spirit, it is impossible. When he rebelled just now, Liu Xiu really didn't think about being the emperor, and only thought about assisting his eldest brother.

After the death of the eldest brother, Liu Xiu did not have the heart of the emperor, and he did not have that external condition. When he arrived in Hebei, the mountain that pressed on his head finally disappeared, and Liu Xiu had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped.

At this time, Liu Xiu did not have the intention of becoming the emperor. But with the refuge of the three counties of Zhongshan, Shanggu and Yuyang, especially after the successful marriage of Liu Xiu and Liu Yang, Liu Xiu's ambitions began to really swell rapidly.

It's just that he can't say this kind of thing like the emperor, he has to let the soldiers under his command help him say it, and he can't do this kind of thing himself, so he has to let the soldiers under his command force him to do it.

Liu Xiu is a thoughtful person, thoughtful, and comprehensive, he wants both real and virtual, both the supreme throne, and the good reputation of benevolence, righteousness and leisure.

In the whole world, I am afraid that no one will have greater ambitions than Liu Xiu.

The next day, Liu Xiujun ran out of food completely. The officers and men of the whole army were all nested in their tents, either lying down or sitting, listless and dejected, and at the same time, their hatred for Xie Gong and even Liu Xuan became stronger and stronger.

Bypassing Julu City and risking the loss of logistics supplies, this order was given by Liu Xiu, and now that the whole army is out of food, Liu Xiu naturally has to bear all the responsibility.

But now the situation is that the friendly forces close at hand are obviously rich in food and grass, but they refuse to give them a grain of food, and the focus of people's resentment is naturally focused on Xie Gong. Qin Ziwen still underestimated Liu Xiu too much, she thought that she had successfully calculated Liu Xiu, but she never thought about whether Liu Xiu was calculating her in reverse, as well as her husband Xie Gong, and even Liu Xuan behind Xie Gong.
