Chapter 973: Celebration
Sure enough, when Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others were still discussing the matter of Huang Zhong cutting off grain and grass here.
Outside the big tent, there was already a sound of footsteps.
Before Liu Zheng could speak, the spies outside the door shouted loudly and shouted into the big tent.
"Report, urgent report from the front, General Huang Zhong led an army of 2,000 to cut off the grain route of Guan Yu's army, killed more than 1,000 enemy troops, captured 327 people, and is returning to the county seat!"
Although Huang Zhong himself has not yet returned to the camp, he has already sent Jinyi Guards in advance to bring the news back.
Jin Yiwei's speed has always been the fastest.
When Huang Zhong led the army to solve Fu Shiren's grain transportation team, Jinyiwei quickly transmitted the news back to Liu Zheng in the camp.
So soon Liu Zheng also knew what happened on the battlefield of Meridian Valley.
The next thing is simple, they only need to set up a banquet in the camp to wait for Huang Zhong and the others to come back.
And Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses did not stay too much on the battlefield, except for sending a small number of men and horses to stay on the battlefield to observe the movements, the other soldiers and horses escorted Fu Shiren and these prisoners back to Xicheng County together.
After Huang Zhong's army returned to Xicheng.
The whole camp began to cheer, after all, the grain road was cut off, and when Huang Zhong left, he also blocked the mountain road that was not wide in the first place, and the people who transported the grain came, and it took several days to waste several days just to clean up these stones.
In this way, if Guan Yu's side reacts, it will waste a lot of time, and once he leads the army over, Liu Zheng can directly wait for Guan Yu's army to come here, and then fight with Guan Yu near this Xicheng.
Of course, after Liu Zheng went out of the city to greet Huang Zhong, he immediately saw Fu Shiren with a dejected face.
Liu Zheng didn't know Fu Shiren, but after seeing the armor Fu Shiren was wearing, Liu Zheng judged Fu Shiren's identity, which should not be low.
At first glance, he is a general-level figure, so it naturally attracted Liu Zheng's attention.
"General Huang Zhong, is this a prisoner you captured?"
Liu Zheng took the initiative to ask Huang Zhong about Fu Shiren.
Huang Zhong nodded, and after pointing at Fu Shiren, he began to introduce Liu Zheng to this unlucky grain supervisor.
"Your Majesty, this person is Guan Yujun's grain supervisor in charge of transporting grain this time, named Fu Shiren, who was captured by our army, and now that he has been captured, he can ask for some information from his mouth, which is beneficial to us."
Fu Shiren is a general after all, and some of the things he knows must be something that Liu Zheng's meticulous work can't probe into.
Even if Fu Shiren didn't know about the deployment of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, just the information about transporting grain and grass that he, the grain transport officer, had enough for Liu Zheng to understand how much grain and grass Guan Yu had in hand and how long he could hold out.
Mastering Guan Yu's grain and grass problem, then Liu Zheng is equivalent to knowing a lot of Guan Yu's plans, after all, you can still eat food for a few days, so you have to do something.
"Oh? This person's name is Fu Shiren? ”
After Huang Zhong briefly introduced some Fu Shiren to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng immediately matched Fu Shiren with Fu Shiren in history.
After all, this Fu Shiren is too famous.
indirectly led to Guan Yu's death, but anyone who knows a little bit about Guan Yu is afraid that they will not know Fu Shiren and Mi Fang.
Today's Mi Fang is acting as the Minister of Finance under Liu Zheng, and Fu Shiren's current surrender has pushed these two fools to Liu Zheng's side in disguise.
"It turned out to be Fu Shiren, no wonder he chose to surrender on the battlefield, so spineless, but also against the master."
Liu Zheng muttered in his heart.
But on the lips, it is against Fu Shiren, and his attitude is not bad.
"General Fu, I've heard your name for a long time, and when I see it today, it has fulfilled my wish."
Liu Zheng complimented Fu Shiren, but for Fu Shiren, in the face of Liu Zheng's words, he just smiled bitterly.
Fu Shiren is still aware of his status, although he is barely a figure under Guan Yu, but he has no achievements, so it is naturally impossible for Liu Zheng to hear about his name.
What kind of person is Liu Zheng, that is the emperor, a person who is even more powerful than Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and the brothers Liu Bei and Guan Yu suffered a lot in the hands of Liu Zheng.
He Fu Shiren can be remembered by Liu Zheng.
"How could Your Majesty have heard of my name Fu Shiren, I am a young general, and I have no merit."
"Hehe, I did hear of the general's name, but the general is not so famous, it's just that, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the general's grain transportation this time."
Now that Fu Shiren has been caught, Liu Zheng naturally wants to focus on these things and first find out how much military food is left on Guan Yu's side.
"Now that I have become your prisoner, if you want to know anything, just ask, I have already surrendered, and I will cooperate with you in order to save my life."
At this time, Fu Shiren had completely lost his sharpness, as a prisoner, he only wanted to live at this time, so his attitude towards Liu Zheng and others was not bad.
At least he knew that if he cooperated with Liu Zheng, he would be able to curry favor with Liu Zheng and get a chance to live.
At this point, many of Guan Yu's subordinates know that Liu Zheng is not a person who likes to kill prisoners. ,
Ding Yuan, Liu Biao and others, who surrendered to Liu Zheng before, did not die.
Fu Shiren also understands that if he disobeys Liu Zheng, he will not be able to live, and if he cooperates with Liu Zheng, it is still possible to live.
"General Fu, it's really smart, widows like to deal with smart people like you, so let's just tell me how many people Guan Yujun has in Hanzhong now, how much grain and grass is still under his command, how long can it last, and when is the next time to transport grain and grass?"
Liu Zheng asked all the questions he wanted to know in one go.
It's just that this question is a bit long, and I can't finish it for a while, Liu Zheng simply treated him politely, invited Fu Shiren to sit down, and said slowly, with wine and food, it just happened to be a celebration.
After a celebration banquet, Huang Zhong and the others were naturally refreshed. However, although Fu Shiren was smiling on the surface, he was aggrieved in his heart.
After all, he is the general of the defeated army and the prisoner of the ranks.
After the banquet, Liu Zheng also asked what he wanted to know.
After temporarily staying and imprisoning Fu Shiren, Liu Zheng returned to the big tent with his own people.
"Your Majesty, if Guan Yu's situation is already known, I didn't expect that Guan Yu, this guy, is actually a fat man with a swollen face, the grain and grass under his hands can't even hold on for half a month, and he is still so calm!"
