Chapter 851 Whisper
"General Yuan, why did you call us here in such a hurry!" Gongsun Zan strode into the camp, and said with great determination.

"Mr. Zhao, something is wrong. The grain and grass have been burned, and Chunyu Qiong has disappeared!" Yuan Chonghuan said with an ugly expression.

Everything cannot be investigated. When the stipulated date arrives, but Chunyu Qiong and the food and grass he escorted have not yet arrived, Yuan Chonghuan will naturally not wait passively, but will take the initiative to send scouts to find out the situation at the first time .

However, the news sent back by these scouts made Yuan Chonghuan feel dizzy for a while, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Although Chun Yuqiong took the soldiers up the mountain, the traces of the burned food and grass were still there.Therefore, according to the situation investigated by these scouts, Yuan Chonghuan naturally knew that the grain and grass could no longer be escorted.

After learning about this situation, he gave some instructions to the people around him, and then Yuan Chonghuan immediately sent someone to invite Gongsun Zan and the generals over.It is absolutely impossible to hide such a big matter from Gongsun Zan, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide it.

Things have developed to the present situation, but it is Chunyu Qiong who has disappeared, and no one can take care of him for the time being.After this turmoil is over, there will be plenty of time to think about his affairs.

"What, how is this possible?" All the generals stood up in shock. If Xue Rengui sent troops to rob food, they would not be able to detect the slightest bit.

Moreover, "before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first." In a war, the supply of food and grass can be said to be the first. No matter how strong the team is, when the food and grass are broken, the whole team will collapse directly!
"General Yuan, how much food and grass are left in our army!" Gongsun Zan asked with a dark face when he suddenly heard such bad news.

Whether he lived in the army for a long time, Gongsun Zan got to the point with a single question.Only by figuring out how much food and grass they have left can they confirm the next step.

"Mr. Zhao, we still have enough food and grass left to last for ten days. Even if we reduce the expenses of the soldiers, we can only last five days at most! Although the general has already ordered someone to notify the next batch of food and grass to prepare, but It will take at least one month for the next batch of grain and grass to arrive!" Yuan Chonghuan directly stated what he had already learned.

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan's complexion immediately turned darker, and there was only ten days left, so this is going to be troublesome.As for Yuan Chonghuan's reduction in dosage, Gongsun Zan didn't take it seriously at all, and I believe Yuan Chonghuan himself didn't take it seriously either.It's still fighting, but reducing the food and grass of the soldiers, so that the soldiers can't eat enough, this can easily lead to mutiny.

For example, when you are not working, you may be able to grow meat by drinking some porridge for three meals a day, and you may only need two or two meters a day.But let you move bricks for 12 hours a day, you will find that you are very hungry, and you will be hungry before the meal time. It may not be enough to eat three steamed buns for a meal.

This is also the principle of marching and fighting. It takes a lot of physical strength to fight non-stop every day and carry all kinds of siege materials. If you eat less, you don't even have the strength to hold a knife, let alone kill the enemy.

Moreover, if the stomach is not full, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will inevitably decline, and at that time, the casualties during the battle will definitely increase significantly.Under such circumstances, how could the soldiers be reconciled, and how could there be no resentment in their hearts!

"Damn it!" Gongsun Zan couldn't help but punched the table in front of him heavily in anger.

If there is not enough food and grass, they will inevitably regress.But this battle has been fought for so long, but they have not achieved any results. If they retreat now, wouldn't the previous sacrifices be in vain.This made Gongsun Zan, who already regarded Bingzhou as his own, how could he be reconciled?

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao must be very clear that if our army continues to fight this battle, we will only suffer heavy losses. Tomorrow, our army will retreat!" Yuan Chonghuan said helplessly, bowing his hands and saluting.

Just kidding, Yuan Chonghuan is also a generation of famous generals, so he naturally knows that he has reached this situation and has reached the point where he has to leave.If after a period of time the food and grass are almost consumed, even if they want to leave, it may be difficult.

"Hmph!" Gongsun Zan also knew very well that it was time to leave, but the loss of soldiers and generals had no results, which made him feel a burst of unhappiness in his heart.Immediately snorted coldly, and then walked out of the camp directly.

At the same time, when Gongsun Zan was about to walk out of the camp with his back turned, there was a faint murderous look in Gongsun Zan's eyes.

If there is no gain from Bingzhou in this battle, then Gongsun Zan is already considering whether to attack Yuan Chonghuan!

After all, no matter for Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan, just Jizhou is too small, it can only accommodate one of them, and the other is the object that the other party must eliminate.One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female!
Therefore, in the near future, the two of them will inevitably continue to fight for the complete domination of Jizhou.At this moment, if Yuan Shao can be the first to cut off Yuan Shao's arm, it will definitely be beneficial to their next situation!

"Slow down, Mr. Zhao, I have something to discuss." Seeing Gongsun Zan's appearance, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help feeling disdainful, but on the surface he called Gongsun Zan down calmly.

"What else is there for General Yuan?" Gongsun Zan asked with a dark face.

"I have something to discuss with Mr. Zhao in detail. I wonder if the generals can make it easier for you!" Yuan Chonghuan did not answer Gongsun Zan's question directly, but turned to the other generals in the tent and said.

"General, we will retire!" The generals of Yuan Shao's forces retreated first, while the generals of Gongsun Zan's forces looked at Gongsun Zan, waiting for instructions from their boss.

Although he didn't know what Yuan Chonghuan was trying to sell, Gongsun Zan still calmly gestured to his younger brothers, asking them to listen to Yuan Chonghuan for the time being.

"General Yuan, what's the matter? Let's talk about it now!" Gongsun Zan couldn't help asking when the last general in the tent walked out.

"Mr. Zhao..." It seemed that he really wanted to tease something secret. Even though there was no one in the big tent, Yuan Chonghuan still didn't speak loudly, but whispered close to Gongsun Zan.

And as Yuan Chonghuan's voice came in, Gongsun Zan's complexion, which was originally dark, continued to improve again.
