I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283, Difficult Situation
Sun Qing was even more furious and said: "Xian Yuyin, you are simply not human. How many people in the big man are starved to death every year, and you still waste food like this. Do you know that this food can save hundreds of people in the big man who are short of food and clothing! You How could you bear to do that!"

Xian Yuyin said expressionlessly: "Qu Shuai knows the importance of the food in our hands, why should he pay such a low salary? According to what you said, the food in our hands can save millions of people who are about to starve to death. In other words, isn't these millions of shi of grain more important than the hundreds of thousands of troops of the big man!"

"The big man has already been defeated in Youzhou. We are just desperately trying to survive and want a way to survive. But Qu Shuai is not willing to meet such a small request! This is going to kill us, so why should we care about it?" The others are dead!"

"My request now is very simple. I hope that you will exchange these grains with the conditions. Please stop the Tengjia Army under Ji County for 10 days. After 10 days, I will hand over the grains to you. Otherwise, all the grains will be burned. Burn it all, and let your rattan armor army get nothing! If you can't make the decision, just wait for your Lei Gong Xu Shuai to come over and talk to me!"

Sun Qing was so angry that he wanted to attack the city, but he was afraid that Xianyu Yingou would jump over the wall in a hurry and burn all the food, so he could stay under Ji County and wait for Xu Wei's arrival.

The next day, Xu Wei and Wang Yong joined forces and led an army of hundreds of thousands to the city of Ji County.

Sun Qing ran to Xu Wei's side and told Xu Wei and the others the exact situation in Ji County!
Xu Wei's eyes lit up and he said, "If there are millions of stones, grain and grass in Jixian County, our big problem will be solved! It doesn't matter if the Han army returns to Jizhou!"

Xu Wei is well aware of the situation of the Rattan Armor's food storage, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a close call. Zhang Baiqi told Xu Wei that it will take another month to delay this year's spring plowing, and later he will kill cattle and sheep to supplement food. Insufficient, killing the cattle will affect land reclamation, and killing the sheep will affect the textile industry of the entire Fujia army and affect financial revenue. If there is another natural disaster in the spring plowing this year, the Fujia army will really starve to death.

This made Xu Wei a little terrified. At the end of the Han Dynasty, he still wanted to avoid any natural disasters, which were even less likely than winning the lottery.

So now Xu Wei heard that there are several million stones of grain in Jixian County, which is enough to feed the entire Tengjia Army for 10 days and a half a month. This is too important for the current Tengjia Army. Just like a 500 million lottery ticket, letting Yuan Shao and the others go is nothing!
The current situation of the Tengjia Army against the Han is stronger than that of the Liao and Jin Dynasties. The current Dahan is just an enhanced version of the Song Dynasty for the Tengjia Army. As long as there is enough food and grass, they can directly bring 20 cavalry and push Jizhou directly. !If he can develop the three eastern provinces and lead an army of one million, it will not be difficult to drink horses along the Yangtze River!

For Xu Wei, the more advantage he accumulates in the later stage, the unsafe Jizhou is just the fat on his lips. As long as there is enough food and grass, he can lead 20 cavalry to occupy Jizhou at any time.

But Wang Yong said in a hurry: "You can't be handsome. The hundreds of thousands of Han troops have already been defeated. It won't take us much energy to wipe them out, but if we let them escape to Jizhou, then we will have to spend ten times more energy than today." Let's deal with them! It will even affect our occupation of the entire Jizhou!"

Xu Wei calmly said: "Yes, if we continue to attack, Yuan Shao's army can be wiped out in less than a month, and the entire Jizhou can be occupied in at most three months, but have you ever thought about what our Tengjia army will pay? Such a price!"

"Our Tengjia army will have to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to starve to death, and even the entire Bingzhou will be starved to death. For the hundreds of thousands of Han troops and one Jizhou in this area, millions of our people will starve to death. , such a loss-making business, our Tengjia Army will not do it!"

Sun Qing and the others sighed. Although it was a pity to let Yuan Shao and the others go, they also knew that Xu Wei was telling the truth, and they couldn't fight anymore.

The grain and grass reserves of the Tengjia Army were already in jeopardy, and it was barely maintained by relying on the food stamp system.

But this time the battle with the Han army mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and more than 200 million logistics personnel. They fought for more than half a year and consumed tens of millions of grains. Maybe people have already started to starve to death.

Li Gang persuaded: "It's already April, and spring plowing is just around the corner. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the whole north will be hungry!"

Xu Wei said helplessly: "This battle was originally fought by our Tengjia Army as a last resort. If Liu Yu hadn't broken the waterway of the Sanggan River, we wouldn't even have captured Youzhou!"

"We must continue to fight. Not only will people starve to death in Bingzhou, but it will also affect the grain production in Youzhou this year, and people in Youzhou will also starve to death! The most important thing for us now is not to fight wars, but to mobilize horses. All the transportation teams in Yip are going overseas to transport struvite to Bingzhou, and there is still time for top dressing to increase production! But we have to make preparations for a large reduction in production this summer! In the next one or two years, we will continue to live Hard days!"

After saying this, Xu Wei suddenly found that Duan Peng was not there, so he asked, "Where did Duan Peng go?"

Only then did Sun Qing come to his senses and said: "He went upstream to find a place to cross Luohe, and wanted to break Yuan Shao's way out! Now I'm afraid that he has already crossed Luohe and is thinking of ways to deal with Yuan Shao and the others!"

Wang Yong said excitedly: "We have more than 10 people surrounding Ji County, which is enough. Let Duan Peng and the others chase Yuan Shao and kill tens of thousands of Han troops. It will be beneficial for us to capture Jizhou in the future!"

Xu Wei thought for a while, and felt that Yuan Shao and the others had already become frightened birds. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of troops, they might not be Duan Peng's opponent, so they simply refused to let Duan Peng come back!
After everyone discussed it, Xu Wei led the army to Jixian City and shouted: "I am Qu Commander Lei Gong of the Tengjia Army, please come out and meet the generals who guard the city!"

Xian Yuyin immediately climbed to the top of the city wall and saw Xu Wei said, "I exchanged 500 million shi for the Tengjia Army to stay in Ji County for 10 days. Lei Gongqu Shuai promised that after 10 days! These grains belong to your Tengjia Army. If you don't agree with me Just burn the grains to death!"

Xu Wei said: "Okay, I agree to your conditions. I just ask the general to be optimistic about the food. Now the whole big man is short of food. The food in the general's hands can keep millions of people alive. This is the general's merit. I hope the general For the sake of the hungry people in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and even the entire Han Dynasty, we must take good care of these grains!"

Xian Yuyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Commander Qu. Although I, Xian Yuyin, am a defeated general, I also know the value of food! This batch of food will definitely go into the stomachs of the people in Youzhou."

　Many readers said that if they don’t capture Jizhou now, they are delaying progress. Could it be that the protagonist’s army can conquer the world without food and grass? After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao did not occupy the land of Jizhou, and even fought a warehouse with Yuan Shao It took nearly 10 years to unify the whole of Hebei, and Cao Cao was also delaying his progress in unifying the world. He just continued to fight because of lack of food and grass. The same is true for the protagonist, Liu Yu did not stop The waterway, the rattan armor army still lacks food, and now the rattan armor army is launched, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting with the Han army, and the logistics personnel maintaining this army are also several million. The crisis of the protagonist's food shortage is stronger than that of Cao Cao in history. Stopping in Youzhou is the best situation for the Tengjia Army.
