The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

812 Chapter 811 Suffering from Shortage of Food
When Yang Qiu asked this question, a greedy gleam flashed in Cheng Yi's eyes, and he said slowly: "People make money and birds die for food. If we keep these gold, silver and jewels as our own, we will spend the rest of our lives in ruins." Don't worry, how about the three of us share all the gold and silver treasures? As for the soldiers, those who see it have a share, as long as they are given some benefits, they won't say anything."

Yang Fu immediately objected: "No! These gold, silver and jewels are all ill-gotten gains. They were transported by Ma Dai after Ma Chao conquered Hanzhong. Originally, Ma Chao used these gold, silver and jewels as the base. So did Wang Shuang. It can be seen that whoever gets contaminated with these gold, silver and jewels will be unlucky. What's more, Xu Shu already knows the existence of this wealth. If you have no blessings, you will die without a place to bury you."

"Then what do you think? You can't give up this wealth, can you? This is a huge amount of wealth, even incomparably rich!" Cheng Yi said from the side.

Yang Qiu said: "In my opinion, it's not as good as this. Xu Shu only knows that he has this wealth, but he doesn't know how much it is. It is also very hard for us to lead troops. This time, we also died a lot in order to overthrow Ma Chao's power. People, the families of the soldiers who died in battle must be resettled, why don't the three of us each take part of the wealth and hand over most of the wealth, in this way, we will not be in a dilemma."

Cheng Yi didn't speak, but he had already agreed to Yang Qiu's proposal in his heart, but now he was still staring at Yang Fu, the key was to see whether Yang Fu agreed or not.

Yang Fu was silent for a moment, seeing the hot light in the eyes of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, he said: "Well, you two will each get a share, and it will be regarded as a comfort to the whole army, and the rest will be sealed up. pay!"

Cheng Yi asked, "How much is one serving?"

"Each of you pick five boxes!"

Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi looked at each other, and then looked at the boxes on the road. Although the five boxes were not many, they were not many. Having these is better than nothing.

So, the two of them didn't say anything more, after all, this was Yang Fu's concession to them.

Afterwards, the army cleaned up the battlefield, and Yang Fu ordered people to move all the gold, silver and jewelry to one place. Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi each selected five boxes and left, while Yang Fu ordered his subordinates to seal up all the remaining boxes, and then dispatched The carriage came and pulled away, personally escorting the gold, silver and jewels to Wuwei.

Wang Shuang did not cross the Wei River, and Ma Gang, who was on the other side of the Wei River, knew nothing about these things.Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi sent troops to block all the ferry crossings and prohibited all ships from coming and going, which is equivalent to blocking the news.

Ma Gang had a heavy army in his hand, and he was the elite of the Ma family, so Yang Fu did not dare to act rashly, and could only make a long-term plan. After he arrived in Wuwei with gold, silver and jewels, he discussed with Xu Shu how to deal with Ma Gang.

Xu Shu also felt that Ma Gang was a difficult problem. On the one hand, he remained calm, on the other hand, he sent someone to send the memorial to the capital, and asked Zhang Yan for instructions on the next move.

Today, Zhang Yan is closely watching the war in the southwest. It has been almost two months since the anti-insurgency army entered the southwest, and the progress is relatively slow.

Since the last battle in Pan Snake Valley, the two sides were in a stalemate for the time being. The coach Zhang Liao did not dare to rush forward again, and the barbarian king Meng Huo also blocked all the roads. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, he spread his eyes widely and closely watched every move of the Han army.

Battle reports from the Southwest spread to the capital one after another. In the Palace of King Yan, after Zhang Yan received the information about the Pan Snake Valley battle, he could no longer hold back and felt a little disappointed in Zhang Liao.But at this juncture, he didn't dare to change the chief general easily, and he himself was busy with moving the capital in the capital.

The matter of moving the capital is already a certainty. Zhang Yan has not issued an order for a long time. He is just waiting for the good news from the southwest, but he waits and waits, but what he waits for is not the result he wants. It is inevitable that he will be a little anxious psychologically.

It just so happened that Xu Shu's letter also arrived at this time. When Zhang Yan opened the letter and glanced at it, his suppressed heart was suddenly released, and he praised Xu Shu very much.

Zhang Yan immediately ordered someone to fetch the map. He opened the map and looked at it carefully. Now the situation in Liangzhou is very good. Except for An Ding Yi, the rest has been controlled by Xu Shu, and the reason why Xu Shu was able to achieve such a result is because of his belief. There is a close relationship with the one person mentioned in , and that person is Yang Fu.

Overjoyed, Zhang Yan immediately issued an order to let Tai Shici lead the army into Liangzhou, cooperate with Xu Shu, attack Ma Gang back and forth, and must uproot Ma's regime.

While Zhang Yan was excited, he suddenly thought of someone, and said to Xu Sheng beside him, "Where is Ma Chao now?"

Xu Shengdao: "Ma Chao is still recuperating in Chengdu. Yesterday Pang Tong sent someone to send the news that Ma Chao has almost recovered after a period of recuperation."

Zhang Yandao: "Send a secret letter to Pang Tong, telling him that no matter what, Ma Chao must be watched closely, and he must not be allowed to run away."

"Here!"

"In addition, you go and gather all the ministers of military and military affairs in the North Korea. I have to give some orders. Otherwise, I don't feel at ease even if I go to Nanzhong!"

When Xu Sheng heard this, he was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness is going to Nanzhong?"

"What? Can't you?"

"Absolutely not! Going to battle is what a general does. Your Highness is the supreme body. How can you go to such a wild place? What's more, the capital is about to move the capital, and the wind is raging. I don't know what will happen. If His Highness does not sit in the capital, the subordinates are afraid that there will be trouble!" Xu Sheng remonstrated.

Zhang Yandao: "Nanzhong is not peaceful, and I am restless! The longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army. How can we solve the problem of food and drink for more than [-] troops in Nanzhong? If we can't calm down, I'm only worried that Shu will follow suit!"

"Even so, Your Highness shouldn't go there in person. If Your Highness is worried that Zhang Liao won't be able to complete the task, you can send a counselor to advise him. It's better than Your Highness personally going deep into the barren hair. And I will definitely not easily agree to His Highness leaving the capital."

Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xu Sheng said was quite reasonable, and he was impatient, so he didn't need to be in a hurry at this moment.Moreover, the situation in the capital is changing now, because the move of the capital has made everyone nervous. Although Zhuge Liang and other talents handle it, it will not be able to satisfy all parties.If I leave at this time again, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang has no one to support him, and the things he has progressed will be wasted.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yan finally decided not to go to Nanzhong, but to appoint someone to go there in the name of Lao Jun, secretly helping Zhang Liao and others to pacify Nanzhong.

And this person, Zhang Yan also thought about it clearly, it must be Zhuge Liang.

There is a saying in history that Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times. Why not let Zhuge Liang meet Meng Huo again this time?
After making the decision, Zhang Yan hurriedly said to Xu Sheng: "Go and call Zhuge Liang!"

"Here!"

In Nanzhong, the camp of the Han army outside the Pan Snake Valley.

Zhang Liao was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army. At this time, he was basically sitting on pins and needles. They had stayed here for almost a month since the battle of Pan Snake Valley. Although the rebels were defeated, their strength was still there. Meng Huo All roads were blocked, and the two sides took Pan Snake Valley as the boundary, the east belonged to the Han army, and the west belonged to the rebels.

Moreover, in order to prevent the advance of the Han army, the rebel army spared no expense. The Han army tried to fight the rebel army more than ten times. .

In the first battle of Pan Snake Valley, both the Han army and the rebel army were victims, and it was King Mulu who really manipulated this matter.It's a pity that King Mulu fled without a trace, and I don't know what the situation is now.But Zhang Liao can guess that King Mulu must have been killed by Meng Huo, otherwise, he would definitely not be so united and stick to such a tough line.

But the fact is, the Han army knows nothing.

None of the scouts sent by the Han army to the enemy's territory came back alive. The rebels strengthened their awareness of prevention, but they just avoided fighting with the Han army, hoping to delay it.

Due to the difficult roads and difficult food transportation, the situation of the Han army is not optimistic. More than [-] people are crowded here, and they need to consume a lot of food every day. Exhausted.

But relying on the mountains to eat the mountains depends on the water to drink the water. Fortunately, there are many wild animals in the mountains and forests. Many soldiers will always go up the mountains to pick some wild fruits and hunt some wild animals to satisfy their hunger.But after a long time, the wild animals were not enough to eat. The Han army had to enlarge the hunting area. The soldiers in the front confronted the rebels, and the soldiers in the rear were responsible for hunting and picking wild fruits to supply the whole army.

In front of Zhang Liao, stood a master book accompanying the army, keeping his head down, not daring to look up at Zhang Liao, only waiting for Zhang Liao's question.

"How long can the food and grass in the army last?" Zhang Liao asked.

The master replied: "At most two days, our army will run out of food!"

Zhang Liao frowned tightly, and asked again: "When will the new food and grass be delivered?"

"I have already sent people to urge it, and it is estimated that it will take another two days to arrive."

Zhang Liao thought for a moment, and then said: "Pass down the order. From today on, all food accessories will be halved, and one meal will be made into two meals. This way, it may last for two more days."

"But this is the third halving. If it is halved again, I'm afraid the soldiers will only be able to drink water to satisfy their hunger! Moreover, there have been complaints in the army, and the humble officials are worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about, just do as I tell you!"

"Then... this subordinate obeys!" The chief book replied.

After the master left, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself, "I never thought that I would lead my troops to such a level!"
