Chapter 806: This alliance leader is not easy to be
The military rations of the 550,000 army can be supplied by no prince alone, and the major princes must contribute together to supply it.
As for the method of supply, it is worth considering.
This time, the members of the princes mainly came from the ten states of He, You, Qing, Hebei, Yan, Henan, Xu, Yang, Jing and Yi, but only the nearest states could transport grain and grass to the sour dates.
And, You, Qing, Yang, Yi five states, the distance from the jujube is too far, ultra-long-distance transportation of grain and grass is not worth the loss, so the heavy responsibility of grain supply can only rely on the five states of Ji, Yan, Henan, Xu, Jing.
If it is arranged by distance, it is indeed beneficial to the princes of the five states who are far away, and the princes of the five states who are close will not do it.
They are all members of the alliance, why should they only let us out?
If it's a small number, it's fine, but it's not a small number!
The distant princes were unwilling to give food, and the close princes were unwilling to give food to the distant ones, and the alliance was also divided into two factions by distance, and both sides were unwilling to back down at all.
The Seventh Meeting on the Adjustment of Military Rations.
Qin Hao's tiger eyes wandered back and forth on the princes from all walks of life, and finally slapped the table angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has been fighting for so long, but they can't fight for a reason, and it is urgent to ask for Dong Daye, since this is the case, it is up to me, the alliance leader, to make the decision." ”
"Okay, it's time to make a decision, and you will have the alliance leader to decide."
Liu Yu stroked his long beard and said expressionlessly, he was willing to bear the military rations, but the other princes of Youzhou were unwilling, which also made Liu Yu very angry.
After Liu Yu supported Qin Hao after speaking, the rest of the princes also responded, which shows that Qin Hao's prestige is still quite high.
Seeing this, Qin Hao nodded, and said lightly: "It is indeed unfair to the princes who are close to supply grain according to the distance, but it is really inconvenient to transport grain over long distances. ”
"Feed near and borrow food from afar?"
Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and he arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask the alliance leader, what kind of confession is there?" And what kind of borrowing? ”
"All the princes bear the military rations together, and those who are close will be given priority to supply, and those who are far away will be repaid the grain and grass of the princes in the nearby areas after the war."
This is the only way that Qin Hao and his military advisers came up with to prevent the alliance from splitting, in fact, it is equivalent to the princes paying their own money, but they have to return the grain and grass to their neighbors close to their homes after the war.
After pondering for a while, the princes who were far away found that this was the only way to work, after all, after these days of quarrels, they also saw that it was impossible for the princes who were close to them to help them share the grain and grass for no reason, so it was better to come out one by one.
"That's a good idea."
Liu Bei stood up at this time and said with a smile: "We, the princes who are far away, are not unable to produce grain and grass, but we are too far away to transport grain.
After the war, the military rations consumed by each of them will be returned to the princes of the region where the food is provided, so the loss will be much smaller, and I think this idea can be implemented. ”
After Liu Bei took the lead, the rest of those who thought it was feasible also stood up and applauded, and some of those who were unwilling to give food were really speechless, after all, opposing it at this time was a split alliance.
Seeing that no one objected, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The four prefectures of Hebei, Xu, Jing, and Yang are the four states with the highest output in the Han Dynasty, and they should bear the main grain supply for the great cause of Dong this time, but Yangzhou is too far away from the Central Plains......"
Everyone nodded unconsciously, after all, what Qin Hao said was also the truth, and only Liu Xiu's brows furrowed.
"What does Qin Hao want to do? Is it to sacrifice the interests of Jingzhou to maintain the stability of the alliance?
But Jingzhou has just experienced a big war, and his vitality has not yet recovered, so he is not comfortable doing this? ”
Liu Xiu was a little confused about Qin Hao's purpose, and while Liu Xiu was pondering, Qin Hao continued to speak: "And I, Jingzhou, have just experienced a big war, and my vitality has not yet recovered, so it is indeed a bit inadequate to provide a large amount of grain and grass. ”
Saying that, Qin Hao also glanced at Liu Xiu, and the eyes of the rest of the princes also focused on Liu Xiu, after all, he was the initiator of that big war.
Liu Xiu indifferently accepted everyone's gaze, but he was inevitably still a little annoyed in his heart, he guessed that Qin Hao would not give up targeting him, and sure enough, he still came, and he was also quickly thinking about how to deal with it in his heart.
Just when Liu Xiu thought that Qin Hao was about to attack again, Qin Hao changed his tone and said: "But compared with begging Dong Daye, this difficulty is nothing, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to grit your teeth and get through." ”
"Well said the alliance leader...... all the princes shouted in unison.
"In this way, Jingzhou will bear the grain and grass of Jing and Yizhou;
Xuzhou came to bear the grain and grass of Qingdao and Xuzhou;
Jizhou to bear the grain and grass of Hebei, and Youzhou;
Yan and Henan to bear the grain and grass of the princes of Yan, Henan and Yang;
The princes of Liangzhou came from afar, and their grain and herb alliance was packaged;
I don't know if you have any opinions on this arrangement? ”
All the princes, you look at me and I look at you, but none of them objected, but they all clasped their fists and shouted: "The leader of the alliance is wise. ”
Can you object to it? Qin Hao had already helped them think about everything, and there was no excuse at all, if they didn't have food, it would be a split alliance.
The 550,000 grain and grass of the Dong coalition army were finally supplied by the five prefectures of Jing, Xu, Yan, Henan, and Hebei, while the remaining five states needed to be repaid after the war, which was already the most perfect solution.
Seeing that the grain and grass had passed, Qin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not easy to be the leader of the alliance, he was majestic, but there were too many troubles.
Li Shimin only needs to deal with one Yang Jian, but Qin Hao has to deal with the princes of the world, and the difficulty is obviously not at the same level.
Qin Hao understood that in the original history, when Yuan Shao was the leader of the Dong League, the princes scattered but did not stop it.
Fighting wits and courage with this group of old foxes every day, who can stand this matter?
Qin Hao is really fed up with the hypocritical posture of these princes on the one hand, and behind them, but before he captures Luoyang, he still has to compromise with these people.
"Report ...... According to the intelligence, Li Shimin has led 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, and the current strength of the Liang army in the Tiger Prison Pass has reached 100,000 people. ”
As soon as this news came out, some of the princes were a little panicked.
As we all know, the Tiger Prison Pass is a moat, and now there are 100,000 Xiliang Tiger Wolves holding on, how many casualties will there be if this is defeated?
"What are you panicking about?"
Qin Hao glared at this and shouted angrily: "My allied army's 550,000 troops are here, and the strength is more than five times more than that of the Liang army, how can such an advantage be offset by a dangerous pass?" ”
Qin Hao looked at that part of the princes and said coldly: "The Tiger Prison Pass has been destroyed twice, and the leader of this alliance doesn't mind destroying it a third time." ”
