"General, we have no more food and grass?" Ma Yu reminded, "After we asked the two generals, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, to send troops to respond, Hebei immediately knew that we had begun to evacuate, and they would no longer supply grain and grass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

A faint smile flashed across Han Sui's bloodless face, and he said, "We still have grain and grass." ”

Facing the surprised eyes of the generals, Han Sui said slowly: "If Xijiang can occupy Guanzhong this time, the situation in the world will definitely change greatly, especially for Hebei, so Hebei does not want us to occupy Guanzhong." Although Hebei promised to supply us with grain and grass, once we really defeated Yuan Shao, the supply of grain and grass would probably be cut off. ”

"The army has no food and grass, and the situation in Guanzhong will be reversed immediately, and I can't help but guard against it. Therefore, as early as the beginning of the year, I sent people to Hanzhong to buy grain from Zhang Lu. Han Sui barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "The general is really good. He knew that transporting grain from the north to the west would consume too much along the way, so he allocated me as much gold and silk as possible to facilitate me to buy grain in Hanzhong, Bashu and other places for emergency relief. Although there is a shortage of food in western Xinjiang, there is still money in the treasury, which is enough for us to survive this crisis. ”

Yang Qiu and the others were overjoyed, and their nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

Yang Qiu asked: "General, so to speak, we still have grain and grass in the area of Dasanguan and Chencang?" ”

Han Sui nodded and said, "The top priority now is to withdraw the troops steadily and not give Yuan Shao any chance. When the stable Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong of Hedong sent troops, Yuan Shao did not dare to pursue. At that time, our army was still in the Qishan area, Fufeng County was almost in our hands, we could still threaten Chang'an at all times, and Yuan Shao could not keep his main army in Guanzhong all the time, so he had only one way to solve the current crisis. ”

"Make peace with us." Yang Qiu waved his hand excitedly and said, "The general is really a last resort. ”

"Sir, if we negotiate peace with Yuan Shao, the general will ......" Ma Yu frowned deeply and was slightly worried.

"The general will understand." Han Sui closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "After Ma Chao betrayed, he could only flee to Longxi and ask for help from the Hongri of Baimaqiang and the iron head of Shenluoqiang. Although there is no chaos in Western Xinjiang, it seems that the battle in the Longxi area will definitely be fought. As soon as Longxi is beaten, the Burning Dangqiang and Xianbei people in the Wuwei area will take the opportunity to go south. The Hu people are attacked from the north and south, and we are attacked by the enemy on our backs, and the life of the western Xinjiang has not been easy in the past two years. ”

"But we can't lose the western frontier, and we can't give up the territory of the Han Dynasty to the barbarians. Xijiang is our home and our roots, and every drop of our blood will be shed on the land of Xijiang, fighting for Xijiang and dying for Xijiang. ”

"There is no shortage of fierce warriors in Western Xinjiang, what is lacking is money, food, and ordnance."

"Since Hebei can't meet our needs, it can't stop us from negotiating peace with Yuan Shao." Han Sui opened his eyes and looked at the generals gathered around, "Do you think I'm shameless?" ”

Yang Qiu and the others looked gloomy, not knowing how to comfort Han Sui. For a person like Han Sui, doing this kind of thing does damage his reputation and is a shame for his life, but ......

Sitting on the side, Yan Xing, who was depressed, couldn't help but shed tears.

"General, if Hebei asks us to threaten Guanzhong in the future, what will we do?" Yang Qiu asked, "Without the containment of the Northern Frontier Army, we can't hold Fufeng County." ”

"I have occupied Fufeng County, I have reached Guanzhong, I have threatened Chang'an, and I have restrained Yuan Shao's troops." Han Sui smiled bitterly and said, "As for whether I can beat Yuan Shao or not, that's another matter." I don't fight Yuan Shao, and I maintain a tacit understanding with Yuan Shao, which does not affect my commitment to the general. ”

Yang Qiu asked, "Will Yuan Shao believe the general?" ”

Han Sui sneered: "Yuan Shao has to believe me, what choice does he have now?" ”

Indeed, in order to dominate the Central Plains, Yuan Shao needed the stability of Guanzhong and needed to transfer troops to the Central Plains battlefield. He has to believe if he doesn't believe it.

Yang Qiu said with some concern: "If Yuan Shao occupies the Central Plains, we ......"

"We lost the opportunity to occupy Guanzhong, Hebei is equivalent to regaining control of the situation in the world, and Yuan Shao can no longer occupy the Central Plains." Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed, "It won't be long before the general's iron cavalry will surely fall and crisscross the Central Plains." This world will soon be a general's. ”

………………

Laiwu County is a small county town at the junction of Qingzhou Qi State and Yanzhou Taishan County. Because the governance is located in the Laiwu Valley of the Zishui Basin, it is called Laiwu. Of course, there is another saying, that is, the former Qi Linggong destroyed Lai, and the Lai people sowed this valley, and the Yi fell into ruins, so it was called Laiwu.

Because of the dangerous terrain here, it has always been a battleground for soldiers, and the "Battle of Long Spoons" took place here in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The division of states and counties in the Han Dynasty was not very strict, and some followed the feudal states of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the Qi State in Qingzhou, the Lu State in Yanzhou, and the Zhao State in Jizhou; More are divided according to the specific situation, such as Taishan County, which did not exist originally, was due to the influence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At the junction of states and counties, there are not necessarily too obvious signs, as is the case between Qi and Taishan counties. Because this area is mountainous and full of lofty mountains, it is difficult to draw a clear line in this era.

The people never cared about this kind of thing, and it didn't mean anything to them which state or county or county or township they belonged to. No matter where you are, the days are no different, the same food, the same service, and the same people of the Han Dynasty.

The people of China have always been the most attached to the countryside, and no one will abandon the familiar countryside and go to another country unless it is absolutely necessary. No matter how embarrassing the days are, the hometown is the living place of their ancestors for generations, and the invisible bond lingers in the depths of the soul and makes it impossible to deviate.

Since the end of Zhongping, the land of Qilu has been full of disasters. In general, most of the time it was a big battle between the moth thieves and the official army. But this spring's war, things have changed. The two sides of this battle are no longer the Taiping Dao believers holding the Yellow Turban banner and the officers and soldiers holding the Chinese character flag, but the three-way princes belonging to the two imperial courts of the Han Dynasty.

Although they belong to the same family, the three parties are more polite than fighting moths.

First, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Changyi court, sent a large army to attack Zang Ba, who was originally a general under Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and the two sides fought fiercely in Qingzhou. In the end, with the help of Li Yi, the general of the Jicheng Imperial Court in northern Xinjiang, Zang Ba won two great victories in Shishui and Linzi City, reversing the previous situation in one fell swoop.

The situation is as uncertain as a marquee, what the princes think, of course the ordinary soldiers don't know, what they know is that they have been trapped in this small county town with General Cao Ren, and the reinforcements are still far away.

In fact, it may not be of much use if reinforcements come. The reason why this army in Laiwu County fell into such a predicament is not to rescue friendly troops? As a result, the friendly forces were not saved, but they put themselves in it.

In this regard, the soldiers were not without resentment in their hearts, but the target was not to go to the main general Cao Ren, but to the high-level celebrities.

For those celebrities who were born with golden keys and were high, the soldiers have always looked at them with reverence. These people are all well-informed, knowledgeable, and the most intelligent, and they are even more unpredictable, no matter what, as long as they listen to their permission.

In fact, most of the soldiers did not really come into contact with celebrities, and the difference in status between the two sides was too great. The celebrities nodded gently at the soldiers, and they were already approachable, and they easily did not come into contact with the people. This is the norm of celebrities and scholars, and there is a difference between scholars, and this is not a nice thing to say.

However, in the current Laiwu City, the title of celebrity and celebrity has a tendency to stink and rot the street.

"Fart, Baume & Mercier! If they hadn't kept saying that they were in control, how could we have lost so badly? ”

"When they command the battle, they shout the hardest, and they are the fastest to slip away! The camp set up by General Xiahou Yuan is obviously a few miles away, if they can fight and retreat, as soon as the news of our capture of Linzi City arrives, Li Pengfei will not dare to continue to fight at the risk of being attacked on his back! As a result, they took the lead and ran, all the way to Xindu, without even looking back! ”

"It's okay to be a literati, it's okay to play tricks, and it's over when you see the real chapter. But not only are they not guts, but they haven't seen it yet, and it's okay if they don't know it, the problem is that they don't know how to pretend to understand! ”

This resonated greatly, and the soldiers shouted in an almost accusatory tone.

"They said that it was a joke that Li Yi led 6,000 horsemen south to rescue Zang Ba, so we didn't take it seriously, what was the result? The 6,000 horsemen turned into iron horses, and the frightened celebrities and gentlemen became a joke. ”

"That's it, that's it! This battle is ruined in the mouths of those celebrities. If we hadn't listened to the chirping of those celebrities, we would have paid more attention to the Northern Frontier Army, where would there have been such a fiasco? ”

Everyone is wronged!

Before the war, they were worried about the bravery of the general Li Yi's brave champion of the three armies, but they didn't see what they were worried about, but they were beaten all over the ground by a joke.

Whose fault is this?

Is it General Xiahou Yuan who fought to the death on the shore of Shishui? No, he has done his best, as the main general, desperately to cut off the friendly army, this is a plot that can only be seen in the legends of those ancients.

Or is it the main general of the family, General Cao Ren? No, General Cao Ren did a good enough job to take the initiative to contain the enemy without receiving a request for help from friendly forces, and quickly defeated the remaining troops of the coalition army under Linzi City, and almost achieved the goal of flanking the front and rear.

If it weren't for the fact that the famous men of Man Pet and Mao Jue didn't even have the courage to look back, how could the two armies have been defeated so badly and so completely? What kind of unfathomable celebrity is this, just a group of liars who can only speak out! (To be continued.) )
