The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 373
Zhuo Luo looked determined, and seemed to have a plan in mind. Naturally, Ren Ke didn't want to ask more questions, but hesitated slightly, and said, "But, leader, what should we do with the food and grass now?"

At this moment, no matter how many things they talk about, they can't cover up a terrible fact, that is, they are short of food, very short of food.

Zhuo Luo didn't take it seriously, glanced at Ren Ke, smiled and said: "You take people to attack Nanchang, although I don't know what the result will be, but I have also made two-handed preparations."

Ren Ke was taken aback by Zhuo Luo's meaning, and immediately asked curiously: "Could it be that the leader found food and grass from elsewhere?"

Zhuo Luo naturally nodded and replied: "Exactly, when you sent troops to attack Nanchang before, I also sent envoys to Kuaiji to look for Kuaiji Shanyue and borrow food and grass."

Ren Ke just breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Now that there is food and grass, the problem is more than half solved. He said in relief: "That's good, but we have never been in harmony with Kuaiji Shanyue. How can they borrow money?" Grain over here?"

Ren Ke's curiosity was not unreasonable, and Zhuo Luo replied: "Naturally, they did not agree unconditionally, but I promised some benefits, and they would naturally not refuse."

"Benefits?" Ren Ke looked at the dilapidated surroundings, and was stunned. Apart from the large number of people, could there be any good things in their dilapidated place?
Zhuo Luo said: "I just donated all the captured slaves to them. In the coming year, the food and grass still need to be returned."

Ren Ke suddenly nodded, this is reasonable, if these people agree to it without any conditions, then there is a big problem!

Zhuo Luo obviously didn't care about this, he just nodded and said: "These costs are not worth mentioning, but food and grass are the most important things now, as long as we can survive this period of time, no matter how much benefit we pay, we can pay for it." Take them back one by one."

Zhuo Luo spoke quite proudly, revealing his inner unwillingness to be lonely.

Ren Ke also gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said: "What the leader said is true, when the time comes to defeat the Han army, the land of Yuzhang will be fully controlled by the leader."

This is their first small goal.Put the Han army down, and then occupy the land of Yuzhang.

Zhuo Luo was slightly happy when he heard the words, but he didn't show his expression, nodded lightly and said: "Don't make a fuss, order to go down, let people monitor the surroundings and observe the whereabouts of the heroic army."

Ren Ke led the order to retreat.

……

In the city of Nanchang.

In the past two days, Ma Teng has rushed to Nanchang with food and grass.

In addition, the scouts sent by Chen Ran to investigate the news also rushed back from Pegasus to report the situation to Chen Ran.

At the moment, there are only Chen Ran and Jia Xu in the hall.

Chen Ran glanced slightly, and the scout was a little sluggish at the moment, obviously a little tired from the long journey, he heard, "Did you find any useful news when you went here?"

The scout quickly clasped his hands together and said, "The difficulty for this subordinate to go to Yuzhang this time is to search and monitor with other people in the mountains and forests. Sure enough, we found Shanyue's whereabouts."

"The subordinates and others are following them, observing the situation along the way, finding out the layout of the mountain, and drawing this map, please have a look at it, my lord." Naturally, this scout is one of the scout team sent by Chen Ran, and he came to deliver the news , and handed a thin piece of silk to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran took it from his hand and looked carefully, and soon he was satisfied with the smallness. Although the size of this map cannot be compared with that provided by Zhou Shu, the information on it is obviously much stronger.

The things marked on it are quite careful and will not appear to be vague. Let Chen Ran look at the map, so that he can have a general understanding of the layout of Shanyue.

Chen Ran smiled and said: "You guys have done a good job. You have come all over the place, rest in the city for a day, go back tomorrow, inform, continue to monitor and find out the news."

The scout cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

But the scout hesitated slightly, and said again: "Lord of the Cavalry, when I was monitoring, I saw a lot of grain and grass being transported into the village. I don't know where they got it from."

"Food and grass?" Chen Ran was stunned. This was originally a breakthrough to deal with Shanyue, but he did not expect to get such news all of a sudden. He was surprised, but he quickly reacted, thinking day by day: "I know, You go back first!"

The scout retreated, Chen Ran smiled faintly, looked at Jia Xu who was pondering beside him, and asked with a smile: "Military division is like this, could it be that he has some ideas?"

Jia Xu raised his head and looked at Chen Ran with some doubts in his eyes: "If you talk about food and grass, these mountains have never robbed the people, I'm afraid they borrowed food and grass from other places."

"Borrowing food?" Chen Ran pondered, he was thinking, at this moment, who would dare to lend food to Shanyue?According to what the scouts said, there seemed to be a lot of food and grass.

"In today's situation, it is definitely impossible to be the government or others. If there is, it is absolutely impossible to be in Yuzhang territory. Could it be..." Chen Ran was muttering and thinking, and he was suddenly a little surprised.

"Just as my lord thinks, if the two parties really unite, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome." Jia Xu analyzed.

But soon, Jia Xu added: "But my lord, there is no need to worry too much. It is impossible for Yuzhang Mountain and Kuaiji Mountain to unite. At least it is the case now. If it is true that Kuaiji Mountain borrowed food here, I am afraid it is just a transaction. .”

Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief. If the two parties really joined forces and started troubles, he must not be able to take care of both ends.

But thinking about it carefully, just as Jia Xu said, the crisis is not obvious now, Chen Ran just led the troops here, and did not show a strong idea of ​​destroying Shanyue.

The interests of the two are still different, so how can they easily unite?
"That said, but now that Shanyue has food and grass, this matter is still a bit troublesome." Chen Ran asked again.

Originally this was a breakthrough, but now that it has been filled, where should we find a favorable angle to gain an advantage?

Shanyue is in the mountains, which is their home field, if Chen Ran dares to attack rashly, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

It is obviously impossible to attack Shanyue directly if you don't think of a way.It's like Chen Ran sent scouts to investigate Shanyue's situation, just to prepare for it.

Jia Xu laughed, but she didn't appear impatient, and replied softly: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Although these mountains and mountains have food and grass, it is impossible to cause any waves."

Chen Ran was stunned, and seeing Jia Xu's confident appearance, he was surprised, so he asked, "Why did the military commander say that? Could it be that he already has a clever plan?"

Chen Ran was also a little speechless about this. These counselors are all uncles. If you don't ask him, he won't talk about it.

Sure enough, Jia Xu said with a smile: "..."
