Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 123 My Big Brother Huan Wen Back then

"Youdu, with your Beifu soldiers and my Jingzhou soldiers joining forces, let alone Yewang and their Yuzhou soldiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to take back Xiangyang City?"

"Besides, it's not that we have no food at all."

Huan Chong's light and indifferent tone made Xie Xuan completely out of anger.

"General Huan, what do you mean?"

"Sufficient food and grass are the basics. Even if we can retake Xiangyang in ten days, we must prepare at least one month's rations."

"You don't understand this truth, do you!"

Huan Chong immediately retorted: "Of course this old man understands, but we have to think for the best in everything, young, what we need to do now is to make a quick solution, so that the problem of food will not be a problem!"

Unexpectedly, the old man was still an optimist.

Having reached this point, he could still continue to brag. In front of Wang Mi, Huan Wen's image and Huan Chong's image gradually overlapped.

The food issue has always been a huge issue related to the war situation, but the Huan family has always adhered to the tradition of optimism in handling this issue.

Thinking back to that time, Huan Wen, who was in high spirits and wanted to win the unworldly merits to control the Eastern Jin court, sent troops to the north. At that time, his plan was to go upstream from Jingkou, pass Sishui first, and communicate with the vast swamp between Sishui and Jishui. ground to facilitate the passage of large ships.

Finally, after passing through Shimen Shuikou, Luoyang and Chang'an were taken by surprise.

It can be said that Huan Wen's plan is very grand, and the route he takes is also a route that is usually chosen to attack from the south to the north.

In order to be able to raise his eyebrows at the court, Huan Wen made adequate preparations for this northern expedition, and dispatched general Dai Kui in advance to excavate and widen the Shimen sluice.

Before the army set off, the project had already started. Huan Wen was ambitious and wanted to attack Huanglong.

Huan Wen made a plan for Dai Kui, requiring him to cut through the Shimen sluice within three months.

However, Huan Wen's northern expedition can be said to be Shimen in Ye, and Shimen in defeat. Before the army set off, there were many criticisms in the court as to whether Huan Wen's plan could be carried out smoothly.

Many ministers have also euphemistically expressed, Lao Huan, your plan is very dangerous, there are too many variables.

The distance is too long, and there are so many canals to pass through, and there are many waterways that have been dried up and have not been used for many years.

No one can tell how much silt is at the bottom of the riverbed in such a waterway. If you go to the northern expedition with such a small amount of grain, you will definitely suffer a big loss!

If the Shimen sluice cannot be dug through smoothly, if the enemy army resists stubbornly, it will drag on for a long time, and there will be a shortage of food and grass, and there will be serious problems in the army.

It can be said that for the Dajin court, which has been huddled in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, prudence and safety have always been the only rule for them to maintain their power.

However, advocating for the Northern Expedition is also a living sign of the Dajin court. As the clothes of Nandu, if we clearly tell our courtiers that we do not need the Northern Expedition, and life is good in the south, then the court will quickly lose its vitality and everyone will All lay flat, and the corpse eats a vegetarian meal.

Therefore, in order to mobilize all the forces in the territory, the old Sima family, who had long lost their enterprising spirit, still could not give up the road to the Northern Expedition.

Huan Wen, who is self-respecting, is the main force they rely on, and Huan Wen, his purpose is also very clear.

Fighting is about taking risks. If you don't take risks, then simply disband the army in situ, and save money and food.

Huan Wen rejected the effective suggestions of the courtiers and embarked on the long northern expedition with little food.

It is also that God does not help, and soon, Huan Wen has to face the problems raised by the ministers.

The dredging project of the Shimen sluice was obviously slower than expected. Huan Wen's army was already approaching, and the sluice was only dredged halfway, and it was impossible for the large ships to pass through.

How to do!
Faced with unexpected difficulties, Huan Wen could only take a detour to attack Luoyang, which would waste a lot of time.

So, in the end, although he did capture Luoyang, he couldn't occupy it for a long time, and he could only return with a feather.

Why does such a human tragedy happen?
All because there is not enough food!
The Shimen Shuikou was not completed on time, and it was delayed for a while. It had to be detoured, and it was delayed for a while. When Luoyang was attacked again, the time was far longer than expected.

Huan Wen's plan at the beginning was to attack the city without fighting and to snatch food, so as to make up for the loss of food.

However, Huan Wen thought very well, but when he actually acted, it was completely different. He did not capture so many cities, nor did he grab enough food for the army to consume.

In the end, he could only retreat in desperation.

After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Huan Wen died in shame and anger not long after.

However, he absolutely could not admit his failure. Before he died, he participated in the Dai Kui book and put the black cauldron on his head.

The allegation is that Dai Kui did not clear the Shimen sluice on time and caused the delay of the military plane. Lao Tzu's failure was all because of this idiot.

Although Huan Wen put the blame on Dai Kui, Dai Kui was not punished for it. It was not because the Sima family knew right from wrong, but because Huan Wen was seriously ill and was about to die.

The Sima family had long hated Huan Wen's tyranny. In the past, he was in good health and held great power, so the court could not provoke him.Now that he is about to die, the Sima family will of course step on the dying person and shake their prestige!

Rao had such a profound lesson in front of him, but Huan Chong still did not learn the experience.

Xie Xuan and Huan Chong quarreled more and more fiercely. Wang Mi was very busy eating melons and watching the show. Originally, this conflict was caused by the two main generals.

At this point, the situation is very clear, there is no food, and [-]% of the reasons can be guessed.With the productivity level of Dajin at this time, it is impossible to instantly change dozens of cans of grain reserves.

However, the situation has already reached this point, and it is impossible for Xiangyang not to attack. Even if the army does not move here, it is impossible to raise food in a short period of time.

What was even more frightening was that Di Qin had already split up and prepared for the invasion.

If you move, there may be room to turn around. If you stop at Yuanjiang Shu, you can only eat less and less food.

Huan Chong's answer obviously could not satisfy Xie Xuan. He was out of anger and shouted: "Buy Delang (Huan Chong's nickname), come and tell me where the food here has gone?"

Huan Chong pursed his lips, quite embarrassed.

Isn't this an obvious thing?

Why do you want him to say so clearly, it's not ashamed!

"Where else can we go?" He patted his belly and was very proud: "It's all in the stomach!"

"Since I divided Shi Qian and the others to Jingling to rescue, I have been stationed in Yuanjiang Shu, you count, this time, it will be ten days."

"I have such a large team of Jingzhou soldiers, can I not eat or drink in Yuanjiang Shu?"

"When the troops were divided, I asked Shi Qian and the others to take away half of my food and grass, but he didn't come back. I don't have enough food here, so I can only eat what's in the garrison."

"It's not my fault!"

"I can't let my soldiers go hungry either!"

The two eyes were black again, and it really was eaten by him!
