"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" Ma Qiang looked at Guo Yin and asked.

"That's... I shouldn't have disobeyed military orders and attacked on my own. ”

"What else?"

"And... I shouldn't have won..."

"Who said that you shouldn't win, it's that you shouldn't have fought a stupid battle that exposed your own strategy when you knew that you couldn't annihilate the enemy army and the rest of the enemy army might pose a great threat to our other cities, if you can fight a war of annihilation and annihilate Yan Liang's cavalry in one battle, I will immediately promote you to army commander!"

As he spoke, Ma Qiang stretched out his hand and took out a document from his sleeve and threw it on Guo Yin's face and said, "Take a look for yourself, Yan Liang found that there were strong soldiers in Neihuang, and immediately discovered the strategic intention of our army, divided the troops into two ways, and rushed back all the way to help, so that our army launched an encirclement battle in advance, not only did not annihilate Wen Chou, but also let him flee back to most of it, Yan Liang's cavalry went all the way to the east, eroding my Jizhou for hundreds of miles, this is all a good thing you did!" ”

After speaking, Ma Qiang pulled Qingcheng and waved his sleeves away, leaving only Guo Yin and the scattered battle report documents.

"Husband~~ Don't be angry, little brother~~"

Walking out of the prison door, Qingcheng kept spoiling, Ma Qiang sighed, and simply hugged him in his arms and kissed it.

The surrounding sergeants turned around in an interesting way, surrounded Ma Qiang and the others, and protected them behind them to prevent outsiders from peeping.

"So many people!"

"This is a punishment for you, let you interfere in military politics at will, and if you dare to commit it in the future, it will not be such a punishment." After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he raised his hand viciously and prepared to hit Qingcheng's buttocks.

Pain pain ~~~

Ma Qiang's hand seemed to be clamped by iron tongs, and he kept shouting pain, only to see that his hand was clutched by Qingcheng, who was still shy and blushing. The husband is sluggish!!

Guo Yin was not released like this in the end, and Ma Qiang did not deal with him, but was ready to wait for all the generals to arrive and announce the verdict in public.

The enemy army has retreated, and summer has arrived, and in order to prevent the plague caused by the decomposition of corpses, all parts of Jizhou are urgently dealing with the corpses and ruins that can be seen everywhere.

The news of the turmoil in Chang'an finally returned to Jizhou with the caravan.

"Li Ru actually replaced Jia Xu's historical responsibility... How strong is this historical inertia? Ma Qiang touched his chin, then looked at the blue sky, for fear that one day a meteorite would suddenly fall from the sky and shoot his butterfly directly to the ground.

"Ming Gong called me?" Jia Xu, who had just come in, heard Ma Qiang saying his name and looked up and asked.

"Ah, no, no, that's... Wen and you sit, I'm looking at the information I just got, Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed, but before he was happy, he was killed by Li Ru and others, this matter is troublesome. ”

Ma Qiang snorted and covered up.

"This thing is indeed quite sudden, but I wonder if Lu Bu will go to Yuan Shao, after all, he took Dong Zhuo's head.

Ming Gong, this is the statistics of casualties in Jizhou and the number of fields that have been predicted to be out of harvest or failed to harvest this year. ”

Jia Xu handed a document to Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang opened it and looked around, wrote down a few numbers with notes, and then nodded and said, "Yuan Shao can't tolerate him, wait, Lu Bu will definitely surprise us, um... The losses of the people in various places are as high as more than 30,000, most of which are from Zhongshan Kingdom... Hey, we really despise the direction of Zhongshan Kingdom.

But the most important thing is this grain, in this operation, our army consumed a lot of grain and grass, how long can our grain storage last? After the autumn harvest, how long can it last next year according to the current harvest projection? ”

"The situation is not optimistic, according to the current estimates, Zhongshan, Wei County almost the entire territory of the harvest or poor harvest, although the city was not breached much, but the military food, civilian food have been lost, I am afraid it is difficult to support the autumn equinox, there will be a gap of about half a month. Search the e-book

In addition, even if we support the harvest of the autumn equinox, we will not have enough food to support the army next year, unless... Reduce the supply of grain and grass to the people. ”

Jizhou's grain is still under control, so if the civilian food supply is reduced, the military food will naturally be settled.

"No, now the food supply of the people is already tight, and if it is reduced any more, there will be people starving to death... Then we will be no different from other princes. ”

Ma Qiang closed his eyes and thought about where else to get some food, now that there are wars everywhere, Yanzhou and Xuzhou must be unable to supply, and Yuan Shao himself is not enough to eat, so there is only Youzhou.

However, according to intelligence, Liu Yu in Youzhou is constantly recruiting troops and buying horses, and if he wants to buy a large amount of grain, either the price will be extremely high, or he will have to pay some price.

"Ming Gong, in fact, it's not impossible to solve it."

When Ma Qiang heard Jia Xu say this, he immediately smiled and said, "I know that Wenhe has a way, say it quickly!" ”

"Youzhou!"

Ma Qiang sighed and said, "I have also thought about Youzhou, but Liu Yu himself is also recruiting troops and horses, so I am afraid it will be difficult to give us food." ”

"It is this that I want to say from all sides, judging from the news from all sides in Youzhou, Liu Yu has recruited more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in just two months, and the recruitment speed has not decreased."

"100,000 ???" Ma Qiang was taken aback, is this Liu Yu so fierce, he will be called Liu 100,000 in the future!

"Don't panic Ming Gong, most of these 100,000 people are farmers or herdsmen who have just put down their hoes, and there is a shortage of weapons, and now Liu Yu's soldier has become a place for the people of Youzhou to eat after farming, not so much soldiers and horses, but homeless."

Ma Qiang scratched his face, this Liu Yu... What the hell?

"But Liu Yu's move is extremely dangerous, 100,000 people are now scattered and scattered, but as long as there are good generals, they can become an iron-blooded hero, Ming Gong, there can be no more women's benevolence! Liu Yu must be eradicated as soon as possible! ”

"But we are unknown, the world knows that I have a good relationship with Liu Yu, this random attack, I am worried about the public opinion of the world."

Fame, although ethereal, is sometimes really important.

"Ming Gong has the newspaper in his hand, why not use it?" Jia Xu said with a smile.

Ma Qiang glanced at Jia Xu, he didn't expect Jia Xu to think of the way of playing the primary public opinion war so quickly.

No, why did this Jia Xu suddenly become so interested in Youzhou?

"Wenhe, did Yan Zhong write to you?" Ma Qiang asked guessingly.

Jia Xu was silent for a while and nodded.

"The teacher did write a secret letter to me, hoping that I would persuade Ming Gong to send troops to Youzhou as soon as possible."

"Why? Although you are masters and apprentices, you are now your own masters. Ma Qiang shook his head incomprehensibly.

Aren't these celebrities the most important thing about loyalty, filial piety and shame?

Or... Xiliang celebrities don't really care about this thing?

Well... Think about Jia Xu's performance in history, it's very possible!
