Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 395

After arriving at the prefect's mansion.

Liu Qi also somewhat understood why Yuan Shao gave up Dongjun directly.

When Guo Jia and the others came back to report, he was able to confirm that a mess had been left for him to deal with.

"My lord, there is no trace of Yuan Jun in the city, and they have all been evacuated from the city!" Huang Zhong said.

but,
What Guo Jia reported made people a little surprised.

"My lord, according to the people in the city, Yuan Jun left the city overnight!"

"However, the [-] Yuan troops withdrew and took away all the food and supplies in Dongjun County, leaving only half a day's food for all the people. Even some gentry who refused to leave were also taken away. There is no food left!"

"In other words, the people in the city only have half a day's food left. If there is no food, there may be chaos!"

Guo Jia told the news he and Jia Xu got from the people.

heard.

Everyone in the hall of the prefect's mansion was also stunned for a moment, and then they all became angry. This is no different from Tucheng.

Without food, what would the countless people in the city rely on to survive? It was not as simple as chaos.

Liu Qi also frowned, and he also knew why when they entered the city, why those people looked at them as if they were looking at the plague god, with resentment and disgust on their faces.

Because of the arrival of the army led by him, Yuan Jun took away the people in the city and their basic life.

There is resentment, that is not surprising.

I rubbed my head.

He also didn't expect Yuan Shao to do such a great job. Once the people have no food, what will happen can be guessed without even thinking about it.

You must know that the most fundamental reason for the Yellow Turban Uprising was that the common people could not afford to eat, and they were oppressed, so they had the intention to overthrow the Eastern Han Dynasty court. It would be death anyway, so it would be better to come here with more vigor and vigor.

Even if the Yellow Turban changed in the end, the fact of the uprising cannot be denied.

"My lord, I invite you to fight. You only need [-] cavalry to catch up with the departing Yuan Jun and bring back the heads of Yan Liang and Shen Pei!" Huang Zhong stood up and asked for a fight.

With a look of anger on his face, he can't wait to leave now.

"Subordinates please fight!"

"Subordinates please fight!"

All the generals stood up.

The obvious thing is that Yuan Jun's behavior made them feel very angry. The most basic thing is that the two armies are fighting without harming the people.

However, this time, Yuan Jun took away all the food from countless people in the city, but he completely ignored the life and death of the people in the city. They didn't want to think about the people in a city.

Such behavior is different from that of the Huns.

Liu Qi waved his hand and stopped the angry generals. He was also angry, but he also knew that even if he chased after him, he would not be able to get back the stolen food.

Yuan Shao's actions obviously wanted to consume the food and grass of his army, but he had to do it.

Now that I know it, it's useless. If we attacked directly yesterday and left Yuan Jun, there might be some of the food and grass that was collected and scraped away. It's too late now.

Looking at Jia Xu, he said, "Wenhe, how much food does our army still have?"

heard.

All the generals stopped talking, but the angry expressions were still on their faces.

"Returning to my lord, the second batch of food and grass has not arrived yet, and now there is only half a month's food and grass left in the army. If you support the people in the city, you can only last for ten days at most, and they will all be consumed!" Jia Xu cupped his hands. road.

Knowing the situation in the city.

He had already discussed it with Guo Jia, and knew that in the end Liu Qi would definitely want to use the food and grass in the army to support the people in the city.

And now that the grain is ripe and harvested not long ago, even the grain planted by the people in the city will take half a year to mature. As a result, this is a huge expense.

With their nearly one-year inventory, they are unable to support the conquest of Jizhou.

However, he didn't say this, even if he didn't say it, he could know it, and even if he said it, Liu Qi would still do it.

"The army stayed in Dongjun, and the soldiers in the army halved the food for each meal, and distributed half of it to the people in the city. They sent people to rush back to Jingzhou, sent the second batch of food, and then asked Wen You to evenly allocate food and grass from all over the place. Send it urgently, and in this way, the current predicament can be alleviated!" Liu Qi was concentrating for a moment, and ordered.

"My lord, in this way...!" Guo Jia said.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but in that case, their army can only stay here in Dongjun, unable to continue fighting. This is a difficult multiple-choice question.

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Do as I said, as long as you hold on for a month, this matter will be resolved!"

This statement came out.

Everyone was also a little surprised, not understanding what Liu Qi meant.

They also know about food and grass. Even if they have a year to recuperate, their food and grass are only enough to support the army to conquer Jizhou, and now they support the people in Dongjun City.

There will be no rich places for grain and grass, and grain and grass can be found there.

"Yuan Shao thought that he could use this to keep our army in Dongjun, but he forgot that Jizhou is also a place with abundant food and grass. As long as Yecheng can be captured within a month, then the food and grass issue can be solved! "Liu Qi said.

Yecheng, it is a good place.

The most important thing is that there is a wealthy businessman in Yecheng who is richer than him, and that is enough.

heard.

Guo Jia and the others were also enlightened, and they also thought of what Liu Qi meant, which was to seize the territory of Jizhou to make up for the shortage of food and grass.

but.

"But my lord, Yuan Shao has also strengthened his defense in Jizhou. Once our army sets off, Yuan Shao will definitely know that as long as our army is intercepted, they will be able to win when the food and grass are exhausted. How can our army be able to quickly attack?" take Yecheng?" Guo Jia asked. ,

He could also think that if he could take Yecheng, he would indeed be able to solve the current predicament, but how could Yuan Shao not have thought that since he could think of such a strategy, there must be an arrangement.

As long as they can't hold on and wait until the food and grass on their side are exhausted, they will be able to win, and they may take the opportunity to fight over.

"It's true that the army is easy to be discovered, but if you only call out thousands of soldiers and horses, and follow the path, it will not be easy to be discovered. As long as you take the land of Yecheng quickly by surprise, then Yuan Shao will be powerless to stop our army. pace!" Liu Qi said with confidence flashing in his eyes.

Take Yecheng and win over the rich merchant's family.

At that time, it was those who wanted money and food, and Yuan Shao's plan this time could be declared a failure.

Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, this is the only way now, and it is the best way.

He responded, "No!"

"My lord, my subordinates invite you to fight. You only need [-] soldiers and horses, and you will be able to take Yecheng quickly!" Huang Zhong continued.

The rest of the generals are also ready to move.

"This time, I will lead the army myself!" Liu Qi said.

"Master is not allowed!"

Guo Jia and others were shocked. After all, it is not a trivial matter to enter Jizhou alone.

"I have made up my mind!"

Liu Qi didn't give everyone a chance to refute. After all, this time Yuan Shao didn't care about the life and death of countless people, which made him very annoyed.
