Chapter 103: Lightning Strikes
Sun Quan ordered Zhu Ran to lead an army of 10,000 to rush back from Chaisang, replacing Quan Zong as the general of Zuo, and commanding the defense of Jianye. Why do you do this, because Quan Zong is also from Wu County, and he has a great relationship with Zhang Wen.
The second point is to 'hand' over the task of grain and grass mobilization to Zhang Wen. Requisitioning grain and grass is a chore, it is a drudgery, it is day and night, constantly transporting grain and grass from all over the country to the front of the army, and it is not to miss time. The army of Eastern Wu was 100,000, and the daily consumption was huge, and millions of grain and grass were transported to the front of the army every day. Meicha, this is also this matter, the grain and grass in the whole country have passed through one person's hands, and the number of tens of thousands of quintals or hundreds of thousands of quintals is enough for one person to eat for several lifetimes.
Zhang Wen was very happy and thought that this was Sun Quan's trust in him. Requisitioning grain and grass for the army, what a big thing this is, it was all handled by Zhang Zhao before. This time, Sun Quan 'handed over' the matter, which shows that the trust of the pair is the same as that of Zhang Zhao.
Fa Zheng doesn't see it that way. To Zhang Wendao: Lord Zhang, I think there is something wrong with this matter! Why did King Wu suddenly 'hand' over to you the matter of requisitioning grain and grass?
Zhang Wen smiled: My Zhang family has a strong background, Zhang Zhao is not a local, the requisition and transfer of grain and grass has always been delayed over the years, and the army is quite resentful, but I am different, Wu Jun and Jianye are the richest places in Jiangdong, with me Zhang Wen in charge, when the army grain and grass are foolproof!
Luo Tong also said: Yes, yes, grain and grass are the lifeblood of the three armies, the lord trusts Lord Zhang so much, and when Zhang Zhao resigns for retirement, I think the leader of the Eastern Wu Wenchen is Lord Zhang! Hahaha\\
Everyone laughed with Luo in unison. Zhang Wen also smiled happily. In the first few months of getting this errand, Zhang Wen worked diligently and sent the grain and grass to the front of the army on time and in quantity. In the third month, something finally happened, and Ding Feng, the grain officer who Lu Xun photographed back, escorted 100,000 quintals of grain and grass, but Zhang Wen only prepared 80,000 quintals for 20,000 quintals of grain and grass. Zhang Wen and Ding Feng didn't want anyone.
Zhang Wen thought that according to the theorem, 80,000 quintals of grain and grass could be used to support an army of 50,000 for two months, while Ding Feng believed that there was a long way from Jianye Daonan County, and there were problems such as consumption or deterioration on the road, and it would be good to have 70,000 quintals of grain and grass transported to Nanjun. This incident caused a stir and alarmed the entire Jianye. And Sun Quan, as the lord, turned a deaf ear and waited to see the development of the situation.
Ding Feng did not leave, there was no food in front of the army, and the letters urging food were sent to Zhang Wen one after another. Luo Tongdao: Lord Zhang, this big military is big, and the grain and grass can't be delivered on time, but the head is cut off!
Hum! Zhang Wen snorted: I didn't care how Zhang Zhao managed the grain and grass in the past, but now I am the one who manages this matter, everything is according to my rules, s is good 80,000 quintals, not 100,000 quintals, and it is Ding Feng who delays the military aircraft, what does it have to do with me, these soldiers 'waste' is extremely expensive, we are frugal in the rear, but we eat and drink nonsense, I reverse this trend!
Luo Tong shook his head. Fa Zhengdao: Master Zhang did the right thing! The responsibility for this matter lies with Ding Feng, and it has nothing to do with you!
After another five days, the letter urging grain from Nanjun came again. Lu Xun knew very well that the army would soon run out of food and morale, and was ready to withdraw from Nanjun and return to Jiangxia, and hoped that Zhang Wen would immediately distribute food and transport it to the front of the army.
Sun Quan asked Lu Fandao: Lu Xun has retreated to Jiangxia, if Liu Bei takes the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou, we\\
Lu Fan smiled: Didn't the lord already promise to give Jingzhou to Li Hui? Our army retreated to Jiangxia, just to show Li Hui their position, I believe that Li Hui will not ignore Liu Bei's actions, although the lord can rest assured, now Chaisang is empty, this is the focus of our defense, and when the metropolitan governor retreats from Chaisang, the lord will take action!
Zhang Wen received Lu Xun's letter, and he was a little worried, now that Lu Xun has retreated to Jiangxia, he can be regarded as letting Jingzhou go, whether it is occupied by Liu Bei or Li Hui, it is not good for him to 'deliver' to Sun Quan. Hurriedly found Fa Zheng and Luo Tong. Luo Tongdao: Now that the mistake has been made, Lord Zhang should immediately send the grain and grass to the army, and write to the governor of the capital, hoping to recover Nanjun as soon as possible, while the lord will track it down and blame the lord!
Fa Zheng waved his hand: No! Ding Feng disobeyed the military order first, Lu Xun withdrew his troops 'privately', and the adults were diligent and diligent, raising grain and grass, how could it be too much to pay in full?
Words can't be so s! Luo Tongdao: Now most of the governors are retiring, all because of the lack of food and grass, and the reason is still here with Master Zhang! If the lord blames it down\\
Zhang Wen waved his hand: It's okay! The lord trusts me so much, I don't believe that a little Ding Feng can do anything to me!
Right! Fa Zheng hurriedly said: Ding Feng is just a partial general, and the adult is high and powerful, and in terms of reason, he also has a three-point advantage!
Lu Xun retreated from Chaisang, and Sun Quan finally acted. Without waiting for Zhang Wen's opportunity to argue, Zhu Ran led the soldiers into the house, and all the guests present were frightened. Zhu Ran waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: Zhang Wen, hehehe, the lord has an order, you are in charge of the supply of grain and grass for the army, causing the retreat of the metropolitan governor Chaisang to lose Jingzhou, the responsibility is great, come here, take Zhang Wen down for me, and block Zhang's mansion! No one is allowed to enter or leave!
Zhu Ran! Hugh presumptuous! Zhang Wen took the case.
Zhu Ran smiled: Forgive me, Lord Zhang, I am also acting on the orders of the lord! Still hands-on?
The soldiers hula surrounded Zhang Wen and all the guests present. Of course, the family members were not spared, from the ninety old mother to the babies who spoke S words, all of them were confined in the house. Zhang Wen struggled: I see the lord! I'll see my lord! I have something to say!
Zhang Wen was arrested, and Zhang Bai, who was far away in the Wu army, and the entire Zhang clan were captured on guard. A few months ago, Sun Quan had secretly ordered his two sons, Sun Deng and Sun He, to lead troops into the Wu army and occupy Wu County, but Zhang Wen didn't know it. While the people sang and danced to celebrate, some officials were in constant fear, always worrying about when it would be their turn.
Fa Zheng happened not to go to Zhang Wen's house that day, so he escaped. was first frightened by this, and then seemed to see hope. After Zhang Wen was arrested, Fa Zheng wandered around the homes of various eunuchs who had 'friendship' with Zhang Wen, one hoped that these people could intercede for Zhang Wen in front of Sun Quan and let go of his allies, and the other was to win over these people, so that they would turn to Liu Bei's 'door' and do internal response in Eastern Wu.
The first one to look for is Luo Tong, the second person in Zhang Wen Group. Luo Tong saw Fa Zheng and sighed: Sir, I never wanted to be what I said, but now that the adults have been arrested, we will all suffer! Regret shouldn't stop my words, only today's things!
Fa Zhengdao: Lord Luo is wrong, looking at the current situation, King Wu has already had this thought, even if we work hard, we will still be calculated by King Wu after all, Dongwu can no longer stay, I plan to go back tomorrow, I hope Lord Luo can go to Jianping with me!
You made me a traitor? Luo Tong looked at Fa Zheng: Did you already see that there would be today's results? Deliberately let Lord Zhang jump?
