Chapter 255

Yi county is located in the west of Chang'an.

To the west of this place is Chencang county. Further west, you will enter Liangzhou. The earliest time of Li he was located in the east of Chang'an, near Hongnong county.

Because his strength was weakened to the extreme, he returned to the county.

This is a helpless move.

Li Zhen was stationed in Zhen County, but there were few people in the city, few pedestrians on the streets, and business withered.

Most of the time, Li made his fortune by collecting wool. As a person in charge of the army and a person in charge of the party, he did not regard the common people as his people. He always regarded the common people as cattle and sheep and ransacked the common people every once in a while.

The people in Fuxian county are gone, and he has no Raiders, which makes life difficult.

Fortunately, Li Yi still had some grain in hand to make a living. Rao is so. He seldom gives meat to soldiers.

Soldiers in the army, can eat enough.

No more, it's impossible.

The big account of the Chinese army.

Li Jian is dealing with government affairs. To say that he is dealing with government affairs is actually to flip through the things handed over. But recently, the generals have asked the same questions, crying to him that there is no food.

In this regard, Li also helpless.

The people below asked him for food. Who would he go to?

Now that we can't find food, the people are running away. Where can we go to search for food?

"Alas..."

Li Jian grabbed the bamboo slips in front of him and overturned them on the ground.

Nowadays, Xuan paper is popular all over the world. It has spread rapidly in Guanzhong, Xiliang and other places. But Li's army was short of money, so he still used bamboo slips.

Li Jian overturned all the bamboo slips on the ground. When the curtain of the tent door was lifted, the counselor beside him came in.

Li's counselor was Zhang Hou.

This man is from Weiwu, Xiliang. He is an old man beside Li, and has been following Li for many years. Zhang Hou is in his early fifties, with white temples, a soft face and deep and wise eyes. He is the most trusted confidant of Li.

When he entered the camp, he saw the agitated Li He, went over, picked up all the bamboo slips scattered on the ground, and said slowly: "Lord, just after receiving the news, Zhang Xiu entered the martial arts pass. Guo Si has been betrayed by Wu Xi, and he has already surrendered to Zhang Xiu. "

"Is Guo Si down?"

Li Ying's eyebrows rose, showing an unexpected look.

He really couldn't understand how Guo Si chose to be submissive because he was not willing to be subordinated to others.

It was unexpected.

Li said: "how could Guo Si surrender?"

Zhang Hou shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the specific situation. I only know that Guo Si has come down. Zhang Xiu has incorporated Guo Si's army. Although there is no known reason for Guo Si's surrender, there are some speculations about his humble position. "

"What guess?"

Li Shi asked, but he was a little curious.

Zhang Houdao: "Guo Si is similar to the Lord. He hoarded grain. And the stored grain can be eaten for quite a long time. But the problem is that both the Lord and Guo Si think that if they use a little of the grain they hoard, there will be a little less, so they never use it. "

"For a long time, no matter the Lord or Guo Si, they have been living by picking up the wool in autumn to find some food."

"In the army, it's hard."

"The reason why Guo Si's army was in turmoil was that his officers and men were short of clothing and food, so they could not endure. So Wu Xi gathered an army and rebelled. "

"Guo Si was in a hurry and couldn't resist, so he retreated. Just as Zhang Xiu entered the pass, he asked for help from Zhang Xiu and saved his life. "

Zhang Hou said with heavy words: "Lord, the turbulence of Guo Si's army is a lesson for us. Because Guo Si's situation is similar to yours. "

"Nowadays, there are many discussions in our army. Countless soldiers are making trouble and have no food."

"Today, there is still some food."

"After a period of time, if the food can't keep up, the soldiers will be hungry, and there will be chaos."

"I suggest that the grain stored in the granary should be adjusted to increase the supply of grain so that the soldiers can tide over the current difficulties. When the autumn harvest season comes, we will go to the autumn wind to replenish our grain consumption. "

Zhang Hou said: "only in this way can we avoid danger. Otherwise, we may follow Guo Si's lead. Especially in the Hongnong front line, there is still a section of simmer covetous, the Lord must be careful

Li Ying frowned at Zhang Hou's words.

The wolf didn't want to feed the soldiers in the granary because he didn't want to. After he gave food, he would make more noise, forcing him to mobilize more food.

Zhang Hou followed Li for many years and knew what Li was thinking. He advised: "Lord, to maintain the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army, we must mobilize food. Otherwise, we have no fighting capacity and it is difficult to fight. "

Li Jian listened to Zhang Hou's words, but he was also quite helpless.

It's hard!Li Ying also believed Zhang Hou, took a deep breath, and said: "since Mr. Li thinks it is appropriate to allocate grain, he will allocate a batch of grain. In the first batch, 20000 stone grains should be allocated first, not too much. "

"I understand

Zhang Hou was relieved.

Twenty thousand shekels of grain can be allocated to at least ease the soldiers in the army. In a short period of time, he does not have to worry about the lack of food in the army, which will lead to military unrest.

As soon as Zhang Hou's words changed, he continued: "there are some humble ideas about Zhang Xiu's entry into the customs."

"Tell me," Li said

Zhang Hou's eyes were sharp, and he continued: "as the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. Zhang Xiu went to Guanzhong from the north of Wuguan. He came back to Guanzhong again. He didn't come back to his hometown in splendor, but to seize the territory. "

"Guo Si's obedience could not satisfy Zhang Xiu."

"In particular, Zhang Xiu entered the right Fufeng from Wuguan. Next, she is likely to go to war with us."

"I suggest you be prepared."

"Otherwise, once Zhang Xiu's army strikes, we may not be able to cope with it."

Zhang Hou is a man of vision and gives advice.

On hearing this, Li Yu burst out laughing.

Zhang Hou said, "what is the Lord laughing at?"

Li Yilang said: "when Zhang Xiu was young, he would have known him very well. Sir, you have met Zhang Xiu. This son's temperament, irritable, unreasonable art of war, rude. Such people, even if they enter Wuguan with the army, are not afraid. "

Zhang Hou listened to Li He's words and said: "Lord, Zhang Xiu killed Xiongnu and defeated Cao Cao in Nanyang County. These are not easy to do. Zhang Xiu is not simple."

Li Bi curled his lips, disdaining to say: "who knows the truth?"

Zhang Hou was suddenly dumb.

He did not expect that Li Shi was such a sophistry.

He was still worried and said, "Lord, you haven't seen Zhang Xiu for many years. Maybe Zhang Xiu has changed a lot. So I suggest you be careful to avoid getting into danger. "

Seeing Zhang Hou's insistence, Li Jian didn't argue with Zhang Hou. He said directly, "since Mr. Li thinks it's necessary to make preparations early, just make arrangements."

"Here it is

Zhang Hou responded again.

With Li He, he can arrange it.

After finishing his main business, Zhang Hou continued: "my Lord, we are in a very difficult situation. Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang are now in the dominant position. They are quite powerful and have enough food. They used to use the power of the Lord. We are short of food now. We can borrow some from them. Although we have our own food, it is always better to raise more. "

"You arrange it."

Li Bi is not refuse, directly agreed with Zhang Hou's words.

He has a lot of trust in Zhang Hou.

After Zhang Hou finished, he said that he would not stay any longer. After he left the barracks, he began to make arrangements. He gave orders to strengthen the defense of the camp and increase the number of soldiers on patrol.

Although the soldiers in the army were reluctant and didn't want to make trouble, Zhang Hou said that he was about to transfer food to increase the rations for the soldiers. The soldiers in the army immediately became energetic and all of them moved quickly.

When Li Xi's camp strengthened its defense, Zhang Xiu's sentry arrived near the camp and carefully observed everything in the camp.

The sentry made sure of the camp layout.

Then, according to the location of the granary marked on the map, he went straight to the storage location of the granary. For the sentinel, with the map, they quickly find the granary, find out the situation, and quickly return to Wuguan.
