"My lord is wise!" Ji Ling said with a smile.

Yuan Shu immediately wrote a letter and sent a messenger to Yuan Shao to ask for the money and food supplies for his own troops this time.

When Yuan Shu's messenger came to Yecheng with a letter.

Yuan Shao received the messenger, took the letter and hurriedly read it, and when he tore the letter to pieces, he said angrily: "The appetite of the road is too big, so after walking around with tens of thousands of troops, he asked me to give a thousand horses to the warhorse. , [-] dan of grain and grass, did he take me as a big head?"

After being scolded by Yuan Shao, the envoy was driven out of Yecheng. The envoy conveyed Yuan Shao's words to Yuan Shu verbatim, and Yuan Shu was so angry that he cut off the document in front of him with a sword.

"Yuan Benchu, I ran from Nanyang to Jizhou to rescue you from Nanyang in consideration of my brotherly love. Now I'm just asking you for some military equipment. How could you treat me like this? It's really abhorrent. From now on, the brothers have no love at all!" Yuan Shu immediately returned to Nanyang with his army, and he already hated Yuan Shao in his heart.

Changshan County.

Liu Rui took Li Jing, Zhao Yun, Shen Luoyan, Huang Rong, Qiao Feng and others and an army of more than [-] people back to Changshan County after marching day and night.After Xun Yu, Mei Changsu, Guo Jia and others learned the news of Liu Rui's return to the division, they waited early for the return of the army outside Changshan County.

"Meet the lord!" When everyone saw Liu Rui's army returning, they hurriedly came to meet Liu Rui's horse.

Liu Rui smiled slightly and said: "I have a job to welcome you out of the city!" , . . .

224: Food and grass bottomed out

Liu Rui and the others chatted for a while before entering Changshan County together.

During the period when Liu Rui led the army to Yecheng, the expansion of Changshan County had already reached a preliminary scale, and Liu Rui was quite satisfied with the expansion of Changshan.

After returning to the county governor's mansion, although Liu Rui couldn't wait to go to the backyard to meet the girls, but this time he would rather spare Yuan Shao and have a teacher to deal with the Huns, so he still brought everyone to the discussion hall.

According to Qin Banruo's information, the Huns' Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo had led his army through Yanmen Pass and entered the land of Bingzhou.Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, came to rescue Yuan Shao because of the entire army.

Therefore, this Bingzhou side did a very poor defense against the Xiongnu invasion. The Xiongnu troops and horses this time went south almost without any obstruction.

Liu Rui came to the seat in the middle of the council hall and sat down, and asked directly, "Where is the position of the Huns now?"

"Reporting to the lord, yesterday's latest information is that the target of the Huns army is Zhao County, which is less than two hundred miles away." Qin Banruo said.

Liu Rui glanced at Mei Changsu and asked, "Changsu, how many troops does our army have in Zhao County?"

"Reporting to the lord, the troops of Zhao County are Xue Li and Zilong, and there are [-] soldiers left in the Heishan army they have incorporated. Yesterday, General Xue Li led [-] troops and horses to Zhao County to rescue." Mei Changsu surrendered. said.

Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "My lord, this time the Huns are coming aggressively. It is reported that the Zuo Xian King Yu Fuluo is also attacking with all his troops and horses. I am worried that the [-] troops and horses will be difficult to resist."

Xun Yu was right. According to Qin Banruo and Chasing's investigation, the Huns raised [-] troops this time. It can only be said that the [-] troops were all cavalry, and sieging cities was not their forte.

"How many soldiers and horses do our army have in Changshan now?" Liu Rui asked.

Xun You said: "If you bring the army brought by the lord this time, there will be around [-] troops available!"

Liu Rui asked again: "Can you prepare the provisions for the [-] army in two days?"

This remark made everyone in the hall suddenly silent, which made Liu Rui a little puzzled.

"Reporting to the lord, our army's continuous campaign has caused some shortage of food and grass. The food and grass to collect [-] troops need to be urgently transported from various counties and counties, I am afraid it will take about fifteen days!" In the end, Mei Changsu stood up and said.

When everyone was silent, Liu Rui had already thought of the reason. Since he occupied Changshan County and took [-] troops to Huimeng, Jizhou City fought the Wuhuan cavalry again, Zhao County destroyed Liu Bei's Heishan Army, some time ago He rescued Gongsun Zan and fought Yuan Shao.

For almost a year, he has not stopped, and he has been fighting.And after occupying the counties, I haven't had time to manage these counties properly. Many county officials have just been appointed, and people's hearts are still unstable.

All the food I eat now is the old foundation of the past. It is time to improve the production technology of this era and increase the output of grain, so as to avoid the embarrassment of this kind of grain bottoming out when I conquer the world in the future.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

Liu Rui still had plans for this in his heart, but he still had to repel the Huns first. If the Huns stayed in the pass for one more day, the people would suffer for one more day.

"Xun Yu, Xun You, the two of you are responsible for arranging the provisions of the [-] army within half a month. How many troops can we support in the current county's army?" Liu Rui asked.

Xun Yu replied, "It's only enough for three thousand cavalry!"

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to Zhao County with [-] cavalry. After the [-]th, Li Jing will be the commander of the three armies. Then he announced his order.

Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, should I lead the [-] cavalry to Zhao County, and my lord will lead the army after the provisions are ready?"

"My lord, although you are brave enough to conquer the world, your status is important and you can't risk yourself!" Xun Yu said hurriedly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall, including Mei Changsu, Xun You, and Guo Jia, all stood up to oppose Liu Rui's move to bring [-] soldiers and horses to Zhao County.

In their view, Liu Rui is the lord and the backbone of all of them.Although Zhao County had [-] troops led by Xue Rengui, Lin Chong, Zhuge Jin and others.But it was the Huns' [-] elite cavalry after all.

Even if Liu Rui is unparalleled in strength, they will never allow Liu Rui to take risks in such a situation of disparity in strength between the enemy and us.

If Liu Rui has any accident, it may lead to the collapse of the entire force.

Xun Yu and the strategists were very aware of this, so when they heard Liu Rui say that he would go to Zhao County in person, they raised objections without even thinking about it.

"My lord, I would like to issue a military order to keep Zhao County safe for half a month!" Li Jing knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands.

"Okay, let Li Jing lead three thousand troops to Zhao County to support Lin Chong and them tomorrow." Liu Rui still trusted Li Jing very much.

Liu Rui and everyone discussed the military situation until the evening was over.After everyone left, Liu Rui was able to return to the backyard.

"Brother Liu, you're back!" Diao Chan was the first to see Liu Rui.She happened to be playing the qin facing the courtyard door, while Xiahou Qingyi, Li Shishi, Cai Yan and other women were carrying the courtyard door behind her back.

They had long known the news of Liu Rui's return, but they had also heard about the invasion of the Huns.They also didn't want Liu Rui to be distracted because of them.Therefore, he has been anxiously waiting for Liu Rui's return in the backyard.

Hearing Diaochan's cry, the three of them all looked back with surprise, Xiahou Qingyi and Li Shishi couldn't help but ran forward and threw themselves into Liu Rui's arms.

Seeing this scene, Cai Yan and Diao Chan next to them had envious expressions in their eyes. , , .

Liu Rui smiled and looked at Xiahou Qingyi and Li Shishi who were in his arms, and stroked their hair intimately.Of course, he would not forget Diaochan and Cai Yan who were standing on the side.
