Chapter 73 Killing two birds with one stone

Old Liu stared at Liu Chan, not knowing why he had such an idea.

Fazheng and Zhuge Liang on the side also had different expressions when they heard this.

Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that it was only Liu Chan's idea.

"The [-] soldiers in Jingzhou were captured by your second uncle. My father has given your second uncle a false axe to govern Jingzhou. He has his own arrangements for the capture. Besides, Jiangling has built a new southern city, and it should not be difficult to accommodate [-] prisoners."

They just won the battle and captured [-] captives, but in the end they wanted to come to Yizhou with a single sentence. What's the matter?

But Liu Chan didn't waver because of Lao Liu's words.

"Father, although Jiangling can accommodate 8 captives, will Jingzhou still have enough food and grass for [-] or [-] people in the coming year?"

"This... Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, and your second uncle has been preparing for the Northern Expedition for many years. He should have his own arrangements for food and grass." Liu Bei hesitated.

He has been away from Jingzhou for many years, and he has already handed Jingzhou over to Guan Yu, Mi Fang and others, so he really doesn't know much about the specific situation.

Liu Chan shook his head: "I have been to Jingzhou before, and I have learned about the situation of grain and grass from the second uncle of the Mi family. If it is only the [-] Jingzhou army of the second uncle Guan, and the defenders in Jiangling City, it will naturally be enough.

"But now there are [-] more mouths to eat for free. Even if they are distributed according to the minimum standard of barely starving, how can the daily food consumption be a small amount?"

At this time, this characteristic has exerted its other half effect-making it easier for family members to accept Liu Chan's views.

Liu Bei stopped talking.

But he was still wondering, if Yun Chang was really short of food, why didn't he write to report to him?It's just that before he asked a question, he wanted to "understand" himself first.

With Yunchang's personality, he would find a way to solve it alone when he had difficulties, and he was determined not to cause trouble for his brother.He must have thought that the Battle of Hanzhong was too costly, and he didn't want to embarrass me!
In fact, Liu Chan was fooling around in this matter, because he did not ask Mi Fang about the stock of grain and grass in detail.

But it's not fooling around. After all, according to the historical situation, Jingzhou's material and grain reserves have been put into serious crisis by Mi Fang's economic problems.

Fu Shiren must have participated.

Materials, money, and food from Jiangbei gathered in Jiangling, which was coordinated by Mi Fang; supplies from Jingnan, including Wuling, Lingling and other counties, gathered in the police, and were coordinated by Fu Shiren.

Since Guan Yu led the army to set off, there are actually many crises hidden behind the great victory.

The two of them have never been able to deliver food and military supplies to the front line on time and in sufficient quantities, there are always delays or shortages!
It took a lot of effort to supply Guan Yu's army, but how could he afford [-] soldiers.

The last surrender, these northern elites are all cheap Wu Laoer!

Now that Liu Chan knew about it in advance, he would naturally not allow this kind of thing to happen.

"If you help me Yan Han today, Second Uncle took advantage of the right time and place to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop, and captured [-] northern elites including Yu Jin, which is naturally a good thing.

"But I'm afraid that before Second Uncle started the war, he never thought that there would be such a large number of prisoners, right? If these [-] prisoners were starving every day and caused dissatisfaction, they would wait for an opportunity in Jiangling City...I'm afraid it would be bad for the war."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng on the side also nodded secretly.

[Current Favorability: 23]

Liu Chan looked at the hint of favorability, and secretly lamented that he had been with Zhuge for a long time, and while his evaluation of himself was getting higher and higher, the favorability was getting harder and harder.

Now, in his opinion, it is normal for him to say these words, and he can no longer increase his favorability.

On the contrary, Fazheng still doesn't understand himself, so he's getting sluggish.

Liu Bei actually felt that what Liu Chan said seemed reasonable, but he still hesitated: "It's just that if I act rashly, I'm afraid Second Uncle Ni might misunderstand me..."

Liu Chan shook his head and said with a smile: "Yu Jin surrendered with all the soldiers under his command, which certainly saved Second Uncle's Jingzhou Army from many casualties, and may be able to increase its strength in the future, but right now it also poses a big problem for him.

"Surrender has been inauspicious since ancient times. Now that I have accepted the surrender, there is absolutely no reason to kill again. But for the problem of food and grass, the second uncle is probably just holding on at this time.

"If the father ordered the second uncle to send the soldiers to Yizhou at this time, he would only be lucky, and how could he misunderstand?"

Liu Bei: "..."

He was indeed moved by Liu Chan's words, but he still habitually looked at Zheng and Zhuge Liang's direction.

When Liu Bei is rational, he is still very willing to listen to other people's opinions, especially these two.

Fazheng and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and this time it was Fazheng who spoke first: "Your Majesty, Zheng thought that the crown prince had a long-term vision and what he said was reasonable.

"Now Yizhou is stable, but it is necessary to replenish troops. The [-] northern elites will be beneficial to the Northern Expedition. It will also reduce the pressure on General Guan's food and grass, and will benefit the stability of Jiangling. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds."

Liu Bei nodded and looked at Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "Liang also has the same intention. However, when the lord writes a letter, the matter can be finally left to Yun Chang to decide. It is naturally good if he is willing to send the soldiers, but if he is not willing, then there must be other arrangements. There is no need to forcibly interfere."

[Current Favorability: 67]

Seeing that the two important ministers he relied on also had the same opinion, Lao Liu finally settled the matter, and at the same time felt relieved for Liu Chan's growth.

Since returning to Chengdu, he has found that Liu Chan's performance is like a different person compared to six years ago.

Coupled with the frequent news of good news ahead, it is simply Qin Shihuang eating peppercorns-winning numbness.

Lao Liu is really in a good mood.

But when he was happily writing the letter, Lao Liu thought of another thing: "It's just that Yunchang is besieging Xiangfan, and the battle is going on, but how can so many manpower ships be dispatched to escort the soldiers to Yizhou?"

Good question!
I'm afraid you don't ask.

Liu Chan stood up and cupped his hands at this time and said: "Father, Second Uncle, the battle in Xiangfan is tense at this time. Cao Cao will not give up when he loses his army. The manpower and boats must not move lightly. Our generals in Yizhou need to let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and the organizations in various places resume production. Don't move lightly."

Lao Liu was dumbfounded. He said it was so lively, but no one could move in the end. Are you kidding me?
Zhuge Liang immediately thought of what Liu Chan was going to say, and secretly laughed that the king had already jumped into the pit dug by the prince.

I thought that the prince has been studying hard lately, and behaves well, so he wants to cultivate his heart...

Sure enough, he was still him.

Liu Chan continued before the old Liu got mad: "My son, I am willing to share the worries for my father."

Liu Bei was stunned: "...you?"

"Exactly."

【Family Harmony Trigger】

Old Liu Gang wanted to categorically refuse, but thinking of Liu Chan's huge changes, he swallowed the words of refusal.

"Jingzhou is at war, as the crown prince, how can you put yourself in danger."

"Father, as the king of Hanzhong, doesn't he also have to fight everywhere?" Liu Chan took another step forward, "Wen Taowu Lue, learning and not using it, how can you improve? If you can't share your father's worries, what's the benefit of learning? "

[Sensitivity to Falun Gong +5]

Fazheng said: "It's the king's good fortune that the prince has such a heart."

Zhuge Liang also nodded with a smile: "Yun Chang fought on the front line of Xiangfan in Mianshui, and behind Jiangling City is strong. If you only go to Jiangling to escort the soldiers in batches, the crown prince's ability today will be no problem."

【Family Harmony Trigger】

[Liu Bei favorability +2]

Liu Bei finally nodded and said: "My son's words make my father feel very proud. If so, if Yun Chang agrees to this matter, I will order you to go to Jiangling to supervise the transportation and surrender!"
