Chapter 109: Feeding

However, they said that Liu Bei led the cavalry and cleared the defense line of Jingling within a few days, so that Liu Lin's soldiers huddled in the Jingling city and dared not show their faces. However, there is a problem that has become more serious. Liu Bei transferred 20,000 soldiers from Jingzhou Zuoying, which was too hasty. The food and grass for these soldiers and horses were not well-prepared. They only brought rations for ten days. In the past few days, after fighting under the Jingling City for a few days, the soldiers of Zuoying had almost run out of food.

This expedition was ordered by Liu Biao, and Jingzhou should have guaranteed the supply of military rations. However, in the past few days, he has not even seen the shadow of the food. Seeing that there is no food, Liu Bei wrote several letters to urge him, but they all fell into the sea and did not respond at all.

Liu Bei's expedition did not bring many civilian officials, and they all stayed in Xinye. Now that this happened, Zhao Yun had to be called down from the front line and told him to rush to Jingzhou to urge food.

Zhao Yun rushed to Jingzhou and went to Mengyue to ask for food. That Mengyue was usually polite, calm and indifferent, and he was probably polite and kept a distance from Baiguan. Mengyue is a standard independent scholar-bureaucrat. He should be independent and not part of a gang, but surprisingly, he is a core member of the Cai Group. Even the most important planners, Cai Mao and others, although cunning, have little power in the military and political department. This Meng Yue, as Chang Yi said, completed the strategic planning of the Cai Group. However, Mengyue is too measured. Most of the time, he will never give advice. Even if Cai Mao's decision is stupid, if Cai insists, Mengyue will execute it without compromise.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun flew into Jingzhou City, went straight to the logistics mansion, and rushed in with his sword. The sergeant guarding the gate had seen Zhao Yun and knew that he was a strong general under Liu Bei, so he did not dare to stop him. Zhao Yun went straight to the lobby. Seeing that Mengyue was checking the grain accounts in the lobby, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Meng, there is no food in the front line of Jingling. For more than ten days, why haven't Jingzhou issued grain?"

Meng Yue was stunned for a moment, Zhao Yun was usually steady, only behind Liu Bei, not very high-profile. It was the first time that Mengyue looked at Zhao Yun head-on, and he was indeed majestic and heroic. Mengyue took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "General Zhao, please take a seat. I'm running back from the Jingling front line. I must have not rested much." Then he said to the waiter, "Serve tea!" "I don't have any wine in the house, I can't drink it here, please take care of your generals." Zhao Yun came down from the front line in the past few days. He did not stop for a moment. He rode straight to Jingzhou on horseback. , thirsty and hungry. Zhao Yun sat down and eased his breath: "Mr. Meng, the tens of thousands of troops have no food, so Uncle Liu had to send me over, and I have to ask Mr. to allocate food."

"What's the current situation of the army?" Mengyue asked.

"It is very urgent. If there is no more food and grass, the army can only retreat, and the rebellion in Jingling may not be solved. So Liu Shijun sent me from the front line to help **** the food and grass." Zhao Yundao.

Mengyue saw that every word of Zhao Yun meant 100,000 hurried, rushing for food, and knew that he could not get away with it, so he could only say: "General Zhao, Liu Shijun leads the tiger generals and tens of thousands of elites, everyone is envied, how dare I not send food and grass? Although I am in charge of logistics, food and grass are a major issue for military aircraft, and I can only allocate food after the express approval of the general. The general can meet General Cai at the general's mansion."

When Zhao Yun heard it, he clearly meant to kick the ball, but he was helpless, so he could only say: "The current situation is too urgent. In an emergency, I urge you to allocate some food and grass first to relieve the urgent need. Five thousand stone is also possible..."

That Mengyue was polite, but his teeth were too tight, and he shook his head repeatedly: "General Zhao, you know, Jingzhou has always been famous for its clear understanding of officials, and the rules require the official documents of the generals. How can I break the rules."

Zhao Yun was helpless, how could Cai Mao let go? In this case, tens of thousands of army's food and grass... Uncle Liu sent him to come to ask for food in person, he clearly had high hopes, and now he did not expect it to be so difficult. But this is not a matter of personal grievances, it is about the stability and stability of Jingzhou. These tens of thousands of troops are so powerful that Jingling and its surroundings have already exploded, and the Jiangdong Fleet is also eyeing it. If the food and grass are not available, Liu Bei can only withdraw from the battle, or even raise food on his own along the way. In this way, Jingling can continue to be independent, which is equivalent to digging a piece in the heart of Jingzhou, and the impact is very bad. What's more, if Liu Lin was a little more daring and let his cavalry come out to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei would probably fail. At that time, the situation would be even more severe. In such a military event, Mengyue kicked the ball to Cai Mao. It seems that the attitude of the Cai Group is not optimistic. The military affairs are regarded as child's play, the lives of tens of thousands of people, and the political stability of Jingzhou are not considered at all, just for the interests of the group. Without food, tens of thousands of people, what to eat? !

Zhao Yun didn't go to Cai Mao's mansion, but went directly to Yiji mansion. After all, Yi Ji has already started to take charge of internal affairs, so he can only ask him to find a way. When Yi Ji saw Zhao Yun, he was very happy. Zhao Yun saw that Yi Ji, but his temples were already white, his hair seemed to be covered with silver threads overnight, and his face was tired.

.........0

Zhao Yun held Yi Ji's hand and said with emotion, "Sir! In this dangerous environment, it must be very hard work!"

Yi Ji sighed, smiled bitterly, and did not hide: "I am in Jingzhou, it is like being surrounded by tigers. There are too many people around the Cai clan, and the power of the Cai clan is too powerful. My decree is basically impossible to implement. I checked and implemented them one by one. What's more serious is that now Liu Jingzhou is heavily armed, and the important affairs of military and state officials are all concentrated in the hands of Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao. My old man, I really don't have that much energy to fight them!" Yi Ji seems to have a lot of hardships. When he was about to fall, he finally sighed heavily: "I don't think Jingzhou's future is optimistic! I think, if you can't do it, go to Jiangxia and come to the son's side!"

Zhao Yun sighed, Yi Ji is already in such a situation, and it stands to reason that he should not trouble him, but the matter is urgent, Zhao Yun can only hold an attitude of shame and ask for food: "Sir, the tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line of Liu Shijun, It's almost too late to eat! Cai Mao, Mengyue and the others just don't want to give out food!"

That Yi Ji was obviously surprised: "Is there such a thing?" Yi Ji seemed to have forgotten his difficult situation in an instant: "Don't worry! I must raise some food and grass for Liu Shijun's army to relieve the urgent need!".

Chapter 110 Cai Mao Mansion

Therefore, the land was wide and wide, with five collars in the south, Hanchuan in the north, thousands of miles in place, and more than 100,000 armors. ...... The appearance is well-mannered and attractive, and the power is harmonious, and its cunning and old thieves are more effective. There are thousands of scholars from Kansai, Yan, and Yu who have returned, and all of them are fully funded. He then set up a school to seek Confucianism, Qi Mukai, Song Zhong and others wrote the chapters and sentences of the "Five Classics", which were called "Hou Ding". Love the people and protect themselves.

- "Book of the Later Han, Volume 74"

Zhao Yun resigned from Iraq, and his mood became heavier. The old Mr. Yi Ji is almost alone, ensuring that the power of the son Liu Qi has the right to speak in the Jingzhou court. For this reason, he worked hard day and night, and fought wit and courage. His hair was covered with silver threads in an instant, and his face was very tired. Now that they have to raise food again, it is bound to cause greater obstruction from the Cai Group.

Young Master Liu Qi's forces have almost withdrawn from Jing "500" prefecture, and now live in Jiangxia, becoming a new center. And Liu Bei is in Xinye, the southernmost and northernmost of Jingzhou. And Jingzhou City, where Liu Biao was located, was the place where the central government was discussing government affairs, so there was no one left, and Yi Ji was ordered to stay behind. Although Liu Biao's arrangement has been promoted all the way, the decree has also encountered increasing resistance. The Cai clan in the entire Jingzhou is hostile to him and attacked him. It is hard to imagine how much pressure Yi Ji will bear.

Although Cai Mao's hope is really slim, Zhao Yun is very reluctant to look at his face. But out of a responsible attitude, Zhao Yun decided to try his luck.

Zhao Yun went to the Great General's Mansion alone, and pressed his sword coldly to enter. However, Cai Mao's General's Mansion was not as casual as the Logistics Mansion. It was simply filled with warriors. That brutish man who dared to die might not even recognize Liu Jingzhou, so how could he care about Zhao Yun? Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't answer, he just pressed the sword and was about to enter, how could he be willing to let it go? Without saying a word, they drew their swords to face each other. Foul language in the mouth. As soon as Zhao Yun heard this, he was about to draw his sword out of its sheath. But after thinking about it, since I came here to urge food, why did I fight with the guards first? He had no choice but to hold down the saber and said coldly, "Go and report that Zhao Yun, the general under Liu Huangshu's account, is here to meet Cai Mao!"

Zhao Yun suspected that Cai Mao had already known about it, and Cai Mao knew everything about everything outside the door. But Zhao Yun waited for a while before the guard said lazily, "General Cai asked Zhao Yun to meet in the lobby."

Zhao Yun was about to enter by pressing his sword, but the guards blocked it and motioned to remove the sword. Zhao Yun is holding back his anger, how can he let it go? The day before yesterday, I saw Zhang Fei kicking Cai Mao, and Zhao Yun also learned it. He didn't draw his sword or speak. The guard instantly fell to the ground and shouted, and everyone was shocked. Zhao Yun didn't hesitate, and quickly walked towards the lobby with his sword. As soon as those guards rushed up, they were about to stop Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun had already entered the lobby and looked coldly at Cai Mao, who was lying there. The guards rushed to the front of the lobby, but did not dare to rush in to arrest people. Armored soldiers surrounded the lobby, obviously amazed how this man swaggered up with his saber in his hand, and was also ready to follow Cai Mao's instructions to go up and take it down. Unexpectedly, Cai Mao waved to the warriors outside the door, indicating that they should leave.

"General Zhao, come to my mansion, what are you doing?" Cai Mao said slowly.

"There is no food on the front line, but none of the rations for the Jingzhou logistics army have been mobilized. What's going on?" Zhao Yun knew that it was useless to say good things, so he chose to ask directly. "Liu Jingzhou ordered his uncle to lead an army to conquer Liu Lin, so Jingzhou's logistics should be fully responsible for the food and forage of the uncle's army. Now that a grain of grain has not been adjusted, this is a child's play!"

Cai Mao laughed: "Uncle Huang now knows about me as a general? Doesn't he see me at all?"

When Zhao Yun heard it, what kind of **** is this, military horses and grass, and now he is talking about whether there is such a **** as a general.

Then Cai Mao said: "Jingzhou has no food to adjust, please ask Liu Huangshu to invade Jingling and solve it yourself."

"Do you want to carry out Liu Jingsheng's order, the general? Is the survival of the soldiers in Jingzhou a joke? Or do such stupid things for the sake of the group's grievances?" Zhao Yun was furious and asked again and again, obviously the words were very ugly. When Cai Mao heard this, his face changed greatly. That Zhao Yun wasn't a vegetarian either, he held the sword hilt with his right hand and looked at Cai Mao coldly. When the warriors in the lobby saw this situation, they all prepared to draw their swords. Zhao Yun knew that he couldn't talk anymore, so he said angrily, "General Cai, you can do it yourself!" Yan Bi walked out of the lobby proudly. The group of warriors saw Zhao Yun's discoloration, holding a sword, and quickly walked out. I wanted to rush up, but I tried and gave up.

Although the food and grass provided by Yi Ji barely solved the urgent need, it could not support the use of the war. Liu Bei's army withdrew from the Jingling battlefield and began to raise food in the surrounding states and counties, ready to attack again.

At this moment, a big news quickly spread throughout Jingzhou: Liu Biao passed away.

Mrs. Cai took the so-called Liu Biao's will, pretended to read it, and announced that her youngest son Liu Cong would inherit the throne. As soon as Huang Zhong heard the news, he handed out an urgent letter. Zhuge Liang added a special urgent letter to the letter and sent it to Shuofang. Xu Da urgently dismantled and put forward temporary measures, and the messenger began to search for Luochen along the road of Luochen's march in Monan.

Soochow Wu, Cao Cao, etc. also received the same report at the first time.

The sky in Jingzhou has changed, and the forces of all parties have no time to hesitate and must appear immediately.

Cai Mao, who had been recovering from her injuries in bed for the past few days, suddenly jumped up and down, and organized Cai's forces everywhere. That is, one day after Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao sent someone over to see that there was no one in Yi Ji's house, and Yi Ji didn't know where he went.

Cai Mao summoned the general Wenpin who was guarding in Xiangyang.

Wenpin was a small southern general, with a dark complexion and a mustache. For some reason, he exuded a sturdy and cold air. Wenpin is a very gloomy person, and it is not easy for people to build trust. However, he seems to be very respectful to Cao Cao, and has praised Cao Cao in public. Wen Pin did not seem to be resisting the efforts of the Cai Group. , barely became a member of half of the Cai Group. As for Liu Qi, Liu Bei, and others, Wenpin doesn't seem to have a favorable impression and has little contact. Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, and he had a wide range of acquaintances with officials and military generals in Jingzhou, both the court and the opposition, but this civil servant was extremely gloomy and did not buy it.

"Xinye is the gateway to Jingzhou, but Liu Bei doesn't seem to be trustworthy." Cai Mao met Wenpin and said the first sentence.

"Everyone knows the conflict between the generals and Liu Bei." Wen Pin seemed to be too lazy to go around and pierced the window paper.

Cai Mao didn't know what to say for a while, and looked annoyed and unhappy. But Wenpin then said coldly: "The general will give me 30,000 cavalry, I will defeat Liu Bei's army in Xinye, and capture some of his scholars and strategists."

It's too direct... But this is exactly what Cai Mao wanted to say, and Cai Mao didn't have to say it himself.

"Go to the cavalry camp to order 30,000 military horses, and go to Mengyue to get a month's food and grass." Cai Mao happily pushed the boat. .

Chapter 111 Mi Zhu

Liu Bei left Xinye 2,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 iron cavalry. The 8,000 elites were all taken away, and the only two top generals around were taken away. Those who stayed in Xinye were: Mi Zhu, Mi Fang brothers, counselor Sun Gan, counselor Jian Yong. Sun Gan is quite old, and is the number one diplomat around Liu Bei. Although he is a scholar, he is not on the same level as Zhuge Liang and Guo Jiaxiong, but Liu Bei is also quite reliant on Sun Gan when he chooses a general among the dwarfs.

Liu Bei received an order from Jingzhou, telling him that Liu Lin was likely to rebel, and immediately led troops to Jingzhou to stand by. Liu Bei immediately rectified the 8,000 troops and prepared to attack with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei's move naturally aroused discussions among Xinye. Cao Cao is eyeing the north, Xinye originally had few soldiers, but now Liu Bei has taken away the fierce generals and main force, and he has left too. Isn't this to give up Xinye? Jian Yong admonished: "Lord think twice, now Cao Cao may go south at any time, or send a general to conduct a tentative attack. At that time, the new field soldiers will have no soldiers, no generals, and the situation will be dangerous if the lord 10 is not around." Liu Bei did not answer, It was just a few words that Liu Jingzhou trusted him and was as close as a brother. Seemingly incomprehensible, Jian Yong was quite confused, feeling that Liu Bei missed the point, or Liu Bei did it on purpose...

Liu Bei has been in Xinye for nearly a year, and Xinye has a new policy to reduce taxes and achieve a bumper harvest. The army in Xinye has also been expanded on the basis of the original army, and there are probably more than 10,000 new troops. That Liu Bei was wearing thin armor and wearing the attire of a Confucian general, and took the lead in getting on the horse. That Zhang Fei held a spear, Zhao Yun held the spear, one left and one right, majestic. The Xinye 8,000-step cavalry army, all of them full of energy, are children of the peasant family. Although there are not many people and the equipment is a little rough, it is not full of vitality.

Mi Zhu Mifang and Sun Qian Jianyong left by Liu Bei left the city to see them off. Liu Bei's family members Mrs Gan, Mrs Cai and Liu Chan all stayed in Xinye. Liu Bei crossed the horse, as if he suddenly thought of it, and said to the four left-behind ministers behind him: "Mi Zhu, during my absence, Xinye City will be handed over to you with full control. Sun Gan, Mi Fang, and Jian Yong will assist Mi Zhu." People were stunned for a moment, and this decision was obviously a bit surprising. That Sun Gan was born and died with Liu Bei, and he was the oldest. It is reasonable to say that he should be in charge of Xinye, but Liu Bei named Mi Zhu to be in charge. In fact, Liu Bei didn't explain it before, and the four of them had tacitly agreed to let Sun Gan govern. Liu Bei's face was calm, and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual. "Mi Zhu, you must protect the two ladies and Liu Chan first." Liu Bei explained again, then turned his head back immediately, and said sternly, "Let's go!" Zhao Yun immediately followed, Zhang Fei urged the rear army, and the 8,000 new wild force immediately ran away.

That Mi Zhu looked bewildered, why did Liu Bei suddenly call him in charge of Xinye? Could it be that Liu Bei had newly married his sister, Madam Mi? Liu Bei doesn't seem to be a crony, and Sun Gan follows him from birth to death, never leaving or abandoning him, how could he not be able to match a foreign relative? Mi Zhu looked at Sun Gan, but he was calm. "Sir..." Mi Zhu bit the bullet and said, "Sir, it's better to be in charge of Xinye's military and political affairs, so as to be able to convince the public... I really don't dare to take such a heavy burden personally."

"Master arranged this way, he has his own logic, why did General Mi shirk?" Sun Gan stroked his beard and smiled, as if he had realized something.
