Chapter 165: The Granary

Yuan Shao in the camp

He bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, General Yan Liang's 50,000 troops have crossed the Yellow River, and the main force is basically stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River. ”

Hebei Yuan army is more than 100,000, the daily supply of grain and grass is an astronomical number, and the grain road is the lifeblood of the army, once there is a problem in the supply of grain and grass, even if it is only delayed for a few days, it will cause turmoil in the army's heart, which is a bad news for Yuan Jun.

"Can't the logistics keep up?" Yuan Shao frowned a little, and his gaze became solemn, "Is there any solution?" ”

Although Tian Feng is better at politics than military, he knows how to solve this problem.

"Lord, we can build a granary on the south bank, which can not only gather the grain and grass sent from the north bank, but also store enough grain and grass to ensure the combat effectiveness of their military camps!"

This was not something Tian Feng came up with temporarily, he had long thought that if Yuan Jun wanted to cross the river and fight, then he would definitely face this problem.

"Build a granary on the South Bank?"

Guo Tu was a little hesitant, but he couldn't talk about opposing it. It's just that once the river is crossed, this south bank is equivalent to a battlefield, and it is risky to build a granary on the battlefield. Once the grain road is cut off, or the location of the granary is leaked, then Yuan Jun's granary is in danger. At this time, if the granary is captured by the Cao army, then the strength advantage of the Yuan army will be gone, and it will become the disadvantage of the Yuan army! Once hundreds of thousands of troops lose their food and grass, the morale of the army will be turbulent, and then it will collapse at the touch of a button.

When Guo Tu explained his worries to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take Tian Feng's suggestion and build a granary on the south bank.

"And where should this granary be built?"

Tian Feng pointed to a place name on the map and said, "Wuchao!" ”

"Why?" Yuan Shao was a little puzzled, there is nothing special about this black nest, why did Tian Feng build the granary here?

Tian Feng said slowly, "First, General Yan Liang has already broken through Chaoge, and is about to break through Yanjindu, and then capture Suozao County to hold on. And this black nest is in the middle of Sujube County, which is convenient for our army to defend; Second, the deployment of our army is that the large army crosses through Yanjin, which is also convenient for replenishing the grain and grass of the large army crossing the river; Third, Wuchao is adjacent to Wuchaoze in the south, and the nearby water network is dense. Even if the enemy really touched this place and captured the granary, they would not have been able to take the grain and grass with them, and they would have burned them. And if we rescue in time, we can also get water in time to extinguish the fire and save some of the grain and grass. Tian Feng paused and glanced at Yuan Shao's face, "Of course, I also hope that we won't use the third reason." After all, once these accidents do occur, we must retreat, if we do not suffer any losses. ”

(Yanjin Ferry and Baimajin, these two major ferries were the two large ferries that Yuan Shao was able to cross the Yellow River to reach the south bank of the Yellow River.) )

Yuan Shao was actually a little unhappy in his heart, as soon as this battle started, you were here to openly say the remedies for the attack on the granary in front of all the civil and military personnel, and you would inevitably look down on them too much, and this would not be conducive to the morale of the army. However, he didn't say this, and his face was as usual, just a little solemn.

Before Guo Jia left Hebei, he persuaded him to be more tolerant of his subordinates.

Therefore, he tolerated some meritorious masters and the fluttering Koji Yi after making great contributions, tolerated Tian Feng who liked to confront him in person, and also tolerated many corruption problems of Xu You.

Tian Feng just committed it, Xu Yu was greedy but didn't know, the trial was specialized but unplanned, and it was useless in every time.

What do you mean?

Tian Feng was just guilty: Tian Feng was too strong and always offended Yuan Shao.

Xu You is greedy and doesn't know: Xu You is too greedy for money and not wise enough to do things.

Judgment is arbitrary and unstrategic: The person who is judged is too arbitrary and has no strategy.

Feng Ji is useless: Although Feng Ji is decisive, he is of little use.

Guo Jia's advice before leaving Hebei, he remembered them all in his heart. Originally, he had also thought that Guo Jia would give him a discord plan before leaving. However, in the following years, Guo Jia's remarks were also verified one by one.

Tian Feng doesn't know how many times he has pointed out his mistakes in public, and he didn't give him any face; Xu You and Yuan Shao were small, so they won Yuan Shao's trust, and Yuan Shao gave him high-ranking officials. After being appointed as the owner of Fengmanlou, although he performed well in his ability to do things, and did not participate in the dispute between Yuan Shao's heirs, he often used his power to accept bribes, although he did not make any big mistakes, but only tolerated some small families and gave them the convenience of development, but it also involved corruption.

The trial and Feng Ji are also like Guo Jia's analysis, but Yuan Shao also figured out a set of employment methods, combining the characteristics of these strategists under his command. Xu You was greedy for money, so he simply let Tian Feng stare at him, which could not only make Xu You more restrained, but also suppress Xu You, and the most important thing was to let Tian Feng focus all his firepower on Xu You, so that he could also be idle, and he didn't have to look at Tian Feng and wanted to be angry.

As for Guo Tu, I don't know if it's because the two are distant cousins, and the two had a good relationship in Hebei at the beginning, so Guo Jia didn't evaluate Guo Tu. Although Guo Tu has outstanding ability, Yuan Shao can see that Guo Tu has great ambitions for power. It's not that Guo Tu wants to usurp the throne and stand on his own feet or anything, to be exact, it should be said that Guo Tu has huge ambitions in his career, and he cares a lot about the power in his hands, and he may even suppress his colleagues for the sake of power, plus Guo Tu is good at planning from the perspective of people's hearts, so he is also good at inferring Yuan Shao's own thoughts, but Yuan Shao should be more wary of him.

However, at present, all the civil and military forces under his command are still united, and Yuan Shao's set of imperial techniques has a good effect.

Since Tian Feng's reason for building the granary in Wuchao was enough to convince everyone, Yuan Shao could also order the dispatch to inform Yan Liang that he should move all the people of Wuchao after conquering Yanjindu and Suozao County, and use Wuchao as the preset granary. At the same time, Xu Yu was ordered to be fully responsible for cleaning up the secret agents of Mingjingwei and other princes in Suozao County to ensure the top secrecy of the granary.
