I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

"King Chu!"

Ma Lianglai reported: "There are ten days left for our army's provisions."

When Ma Liang came to report, Liu Bei was discussing the war with Zhuge Liang to see if there was a better way to deal with Liu Zhe, but when he heard the news of Ma Liang, Liu Bei jumped up.

"what?"

"Why is this all that's left?" Liu Bei was shocked and angry.

Liu Bei was surprised, but Zhuge Liang was very calm, as if he had expected the result.

"King Chu, the food from Chengdu is not enough."

Ma Liang had a sad look on his face. After the last time Liu Bei's army had a food and grass problem, Liu Bei had to let Ma Liang deal with it. Under Ma Liang's dispatch and distribution, Liu Bei's army's food and grass problem was alleviated.

But it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how well Ma Liang manages, if there is no food and grass, he can't do anything about it.

Now, although there is still continuous delivery of food and grass from Chengdu, it is much less than before.

For example, [-] people could be fed and drank one day before, but now they are only enough for [-] or [-] people to eat and drink.

If this goes on, under Ma Liang's calculation, Liu Bei's army can last for ten days at most.

"This day has come." Zhuge Liang said slowly beside him.

"Prime Minister, how is this good?" Liu Bei was anxious.

War can not be without food and grass, there is no food and grass, the soldiers are starving, this is a fart.

"Don't be in a hurry, King of Chu."

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, "The current food and grass can last for ten days. If we step up the expedition, the food and grass will still be enough."

"But the people's rations will not be enough."

Liu Bei's eyes were red, and he seemed to cry: "How can this king bear to rob the people of their rations from the hands?"

"The purpose of this king's capture of Yizhou is to let the people live a good life, but now I want this king to grab food from them. This, this king can't do it."

Liu Bei's eyes were red, and they were about to flow down.

"King Chu's benevolence!"

Zhuge Liang said, and he was helpless in his heart, and Liu Zhe's strategy began to show results.

In ten days, Liu Bei would have to snatch more food from the people.

Now the people have complained about Liu Bei's long-term war here, because of the war between Liu Bei and Liu Zhe, they have already started to starve.

If they continue to collect food and grass from them, they will inevitably arouse even greater resentment, and there may even be a rebellion.

"Although it is said that there are still ten days of food for our army, as long as we make careful arrangements, we can still support it for a while." Zhuge Liang said.

"If the soldiers' rations are reduced."

Ma Liang said, "That will reduce their combat effectiveness."

Ma Liang understood what Zhuge Liang meant, and Zhuge Liang asked him to subdivide and let the soldiers eat less, so as to prolong the time of food and grass support.

But in this way, the soldiers will definitely starve, their morale will drop, and their combat effectiveness will also drop.

"This is the only way out of nowhere." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei.

"Just do it according to the Prime Minister's wishes."

Liu Bei didn't hesitate, it was better for soldiers to be hungry than to be defeated.

"Prime Minister, what should this king do next?"

Liu Bei took a deep breath and asked Zhuge Liang for advice, he made a very sincere attitude.

"I hope the Prime Minister will save this king!" Liu Bei's eyes were red and he looked very pitiful.

"Don't worry, King of Chu."

Zhuge Liang said, "This minister will definitely make King Yan retreat."

"What is the prime minister's strategy?" Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Zhuge Liang was a little embarrassed. He was thinking about how to answer Liu Bei, because Liu Bei would definitely not accept what he said now.

But just as Zhuge Liang was thinking about it, someone came in from outside, and it was Liu Feng.

Liu Feng and Wu Yi had returned to Fucheng and were rewarded by Liu Bei.

"King Chu!"

Liu Feng's expression was a little panic, he rushed in.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Feng behaving like this, Liu Bei was upset, his face was unhappy, and he asked coldly.

"Report to the King of Chu!"

Liu Feng said, "Nanzhong, Nanzhong rebelled."

"what?"
