King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 423

Looking at Li Lin's questioning eyes, Xu Miao lowered his head and said quietly, "My lord, the food and grass are in great danger now, and our army only has ten days' food..."

"What! Ten days!" Li Lin said in surprise.

Xu Miao nodded and confirmed the answer. Li Lin said in astonishment, "Ten days... ten days, ten days' food, it was said that I was asked to attack Cao's army. Even if our army withdraws from Henan immediately, it is not enough. used!"

"Yes... yes!" What else could Xu Miao say...

"What's going on with Boda? Hasn't Sili's food arrived yet?" Li Lin asked anxiously immediately.

"Master Sima spent some time collecting grain and grass, and Liu He changed his face towards our army when he knew that the lord was going south. Now he is obstructing in every possible way to escort grain and grass to Henan, and he is said to be Lord Sima. ..." Xu Miao said quietly.

"Hmph! It is estimated that Liu He has already ordered in secret that Sima Lang is not allowed to support me, but how could Boda betray me!" Li Lin was a little angry...

"Master Sima will still put on a show on the surface, maybe he will smuggle food and grass here, but my lord, even if Lord Sima's food and grass arrive, it will not be enough for our army for a long time. Our army now has more than 10 people , and the number of captives is still increasing a little bit, and there are still many cities in front of us. If there is no city, it means that the number of captives will increase a lot, and the food and grass of our army will be consumed more and more. My lord, you must It should be like a method that can make our army last for a long time..." Xu Miao said.

"Hmph!" Li Lin snorted coldly, and slammed his fists heavily on the case, "Then Cao Cao made a good plan. With strong walls and clear fields, our army can't get a grain of food outside the city. There is little food, but whenever the city breaks down, these generals loyal to Cao Cao will burn the food and grass with fire, it is really hateful! I am so angry!" Li Lin was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he was trying to speak. like...

"My lord, don't get angry, we still need to calm down before we can think of a good solution..." Xu Miao said immediately.

"Huh..." After a long while, Li Lin took a breath, nodded, and said, "Yes... You must not mess up because of this, now you can only think about being able to quickly attack Cao Jun A place with a lot of food and grass, to save our army from crisis..." How could Li Lin think of retreating? He didn't dare, and the soldiers under his command would not do it. It's a very important question, but I can't shake my heart at all. I must defeat Cao Cao. If I don't defeat Cao Cao this time, after returning to Hebei, next time, I may be the current Cao Cao, besieged on all sides...

"My lord, Cao Jun has already taken precautions, and these cities in front of our army, Cao Jun is only guarding a few dangerous places, explaining to the loyal soldiers of Cao Cao, even if our army takes the city, food and grass, it is still not enough. There will be too many left..." Xu Miao frowned.

"Hey... I can only take one step and see one step..." Li Lin sighed, and now he can only do this, Li Lin muttered in a low voice, "Zhao Hu should be almost there, I hope this dead boy is smart." point…………"

The army rested for a while, and Li Lin immediately led the army to attack Chenliu County. As soon as the army came out, Xun You had already made arrangements. Chenliu had a total of [-] defenders, guarded by Wei Xu and Hou Chenger, who were under Lu Bu's command. General, although Cao Cao's command is not as important as Lu Bu's, it does not mean that the two are incapable. Li Lin's tens of thousands of troops attacked, and the two reacted quickly, leading the army to retreat south. All the troops are guarding in Chenliu City...

As soon as the two armies met, Li Lin didn't talk so much nonsense, and it was true to get this done quickly, and immediately ordered the army to attack the city, and Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were all veterans, of course they were more than capable, and Li Lin didn't dare to lose too much Soldiers and horses attacked for three days in a row, and the city was filled with dead bodies, but Chen Liucheng still stood there...

"Bah! NND, this Wei Xu, Hou Cheng can really resist!" Li Lin looked at Chen Liucheng not far away, cursed angrily, and spit.

"Chenliu is an important town for Cao Cao. It is also the city that Cao Cao founded when he started. Cao Cao has been operating it for more than ten years. Look at this city. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Wei Xu on the city, Hou Chenger is a veteran on the battlefield. If you want to talk about martial arts That's second-rate, but when it comes to these effective tactics, you must be very skilled. The lord has only been here for three days, and it is not easy to quickly win such a big city..." Zhao Yun rode his horse in Li Lin's Looking at Li Lin's anxious look, he persuaded him.

Li Lin gritted his teeth and didn't speak. It wasn't that he was in a hurry, but that food and grass were already in a hurry, and the soldiers had already discovered that the army was eating rice in battle, but just a few days ago, they had already crossed the Yellow River. It was replaced by rice porridge, and in the past few days, the rice porridge has become thinner and thinner...

"Yuanjie, it's because of food..." Zhao Yun suddenly whispered this sentence...

"Yeah!" Li Lin nodded calmly, "It's where our army's fate lies..."

"But Liu He from Hebei blocked it?" Zhao Yun frowned. In fact, he had already discovered the problem of food and grass, but Li Lin didn't say anything, and Zhao Yun couldn't tell, so he kept walking without asking. Negative words, so Zhao Yunzai had no choice but to say such a sentence, so he had a bottom line in his heart......

"Who else would there be if it wasn't him, hey! Yes, there is also that old boy Cao Cao..." Li Lin laughed at himself...

"Yuanjie! Why don't I lead the cavalry to look for it?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Don't worry, Cao Cao has already made preparations. Now that our army is moving southward, the battle line is getting longer and longer, and the supply line of food and grass is also getting longer and longer. Of course, Cao Cao must make good use of this, and will not leave us a grain of food. It's..." Li Lin said helplessly...

"This... the three armies have no food, what should I do..." Zhao Yun is not helpless, food and grass, is this a problem of how many strong generals...

"Hey... I just hope that Boda's food and grass in Sili will arrive sooner... If it doesn't arrive in another five or six days, our army may have to eat grass roots and bark... , everything has become the Red Army..." Li Lin said depressedly...

"Hey..." Zhao Yun also sighed helplessly...

And now it's really meal time, looking at the bowl in his hand, "Hey......it's porridge again..." Many soldiers explained and sighed in their hearts, but once they knew Li Lin, the lord must have met the big man. He is such a hero, he will definitely not deliberately embarrass us and withhold our food and grass. You must know that the food and pensions of the Youliao Army are the highest in the world. How could Li Lin withhold food and grass at will?Moreover, Li Lin specially recruited relevant departments in the city to prepare for these soldiers who could not go to the battlefield after being injured, and provided them with jobs or certain subsidies. How could such a good master do this? There must be difficulties......

The Youliao Army under Li Lin thought so, but somewhere in the big camp, there was such a large group of people who didn't think so. They only heard a "bang!", which was the sound of rice bowls being smashed , and then yelled, "MD! What are you feeding us? How many grains of rice are there in this bowl of porridge!"

The Youliao army was shocked, and when they saw it, it was Cao Jun's prisoner. If you say that Li Lin is the lord, and Li Lin's personal charm, the Youliao army all have great respect for Li Lin, so even in the past few days The food is not good, and everyone will not complain too much. In addition, the generals at the top are comforting their subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army, so no one will affect the war because of the ration problem, but these soldiers are different. These people came as captives, and they were arrested and imprisoned in the enemy's camp. Their nerves became more sensitive. When they saw such a meal every day, some angry people immediately became angry and cursed at Li Lin... …

"What are you talking about! NND! Are you looking for death!" A Youliao soldier saw that one of Cao Jun's captives was yelling, of course the atmosphere was endless, and when he saw Cao Jun's rice bowl on the ground, he was even more angry and shouted angrily "NTMD! Do you know that the food in your bowl is saved from the mouths of your brothers. You are such a waste. Do you know that you just made a soldier lose his rations!"

"Hmph! I want you Liao Hou to give an explanation! Although we are prisoners, why should we treat us like this! We have to eat!" The prisoner shouted, and with a loud shout, all the prisoners gathered around and waited. The Youliao Army, shouting...

"Hmph! You want to explain it! Then I will explain it to you!" Of course, the Youliao army guarding the side is not afraid. I am not afraid of these Cao troops on the battlefield. Now that Cao troops have become prisoners, I will not be afraid. Yes, come up immediately, pull out the knife...

There were not enough camps in the army, so these prisoners were all surrounded by the fence. The soldier who was angrily cursing just now walked over quickly and pulled out the prisoner who threw the bowl. Tell me, then I will give it to you, you really want to die, do you know how precious these grains are, you fell to the ground, I will let you die now..."

Of course these captives of the Cao army quit, and immediately came up to pull them, shouting, "What are you doing, what are you doing, is the Youliao army going to kill the prisoners? Aren't we human beings! We want food, we don't want to starve to death, we don't want starve…………"
