Chapter 975: Discussion
When Jian Yong got the news from the Meridian Valley, he came to Guan Yu as soon as possible.
However, at this time, Guan Yu was on the front line inspecting the army under his command.
They have been besieging Nanzheng City for some time now.
These days, Guan Yu often has to go outside Nanzheng City to conduct inspections, in fact, the so-called inspections are just Guan Yu leading the soldiers and horses stationed outside Nanzheng City to conduct exercises.
caused some big enough movements, so that Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and others in Nanzheng City were afraid.
Although there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Nanzheng City.
However, 40,000 people were enough to surround the entire Nanzheng City, so that Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and others in the city did not dare to go out of the city to fight Guan Yu.
Guan Yu withdrew from outside the city to the camp in Chenggu County according to his daily drills.
As soon as he came back, he was found by Jian Yong.
"General Guan is not good!"
As soon as Jian Yong saw Guan Yu coming, he immediately approached Guan Yu in a hurry, and took the initiative to shout at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu has been in a good mood for the past two days, after all, it has been some time since the siege of Nanzheng City, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city are very anxious, but he is not in a hurry, everything is under control.
It is only necessary to run out of grain and grass in Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang and others in Nanzheng City in the free time, and then Guan Yu's side will have the advantage and take Nanzheng directly, just around the corner.
However, at this time, Guan Yu saw Jian Yong, who had an anxious face, approaching him. And loudly said that something bad had happened. It also attracted Guan Yu's attention.
"What happened to Mr. Jian Yong, look at your urgency!"
Jian Yong was very anxious, but when Guan Yu didn't know what was going on, his face was casual and very calm.
He didn't think there was anything that could make him feel urgent at the moment.
Jian Yong did not hesitate, and as soon as he saw Guan Yu, he immediately told what had happened in Meridian Valley.
"The general is not in a good situation, just now our spies went to the Meridian Valley to investigate, and the grain and grass that should have been transported today did not come!"
"Haven't the food and grass arrived?"
At this time, Guan Yu frowned.
Realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Who is in charge of transporting grain and grass this time?"
Guan Yu immediately asked Jian Yong.
Jian Yong didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately told Guan Yu the information he had.
"This time it was General Fu Shiren who was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, according to the time, yesterday afternoon, the grain and grass should have been transported to Chenggu, but until this morning, I didn't see General Fu Shiren, so I sent soldiers and horses to explore the road to Meridian Valley."
"The result?"
Jian Yong immediately described some detailed details to Guan Yu.
At this moment, Guan Yu's expression became even more unsightly.
Guan Yu, who was still very calm, immediately understood the trouble he was encountering.
"Fu Shiren, he has always been a more careful person, how could there be such a mess?"
At this time, Guan Yu's impression of Fu Shiren is quite good, after all, although Fu Shiren is not very good, he is usually quite reliable, otherwise he would not have followed Liu Bei for so many years, and he will still have some use.
It's not good to fight a war, but it's still very good at logistics.
"General Fu Shiren shouldn't be in trouble, but I'm afraid that this meridian valley will be discovered by others, I sent some spies over before, but there was no response, that is, something happened to the grain transportation team, near the West City, next to Liu Zheng's territory, presumably it was Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses who discovered General Fu Shiren!"
Although the news of Fu Shiren and the others being arrested has not yet come out, with Jian Yong's cleverness, he naturally quickly guessed what happened to Fu Shiren.
Right now, Guan Yu heard Jian Yong's words, and immediately understood what impact this matter would have on their army.
"Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses have cut off our food routes? This...... It's not good, does my eldest brother know about it? ”
Guan Yu realized that this matter was not something he could call the test alone.
Then he asked Jian Yong if Liu Bei already knew about it.
"The lord doesn't know about this yet. He had already gone to Ma Chao's camp, and I hadn't had time to tell him yet. ”
"Quick, send someone to bring my eldest brother back immediately. Be sure to let him know about it. ”
"Because once the grain route of the Meridian Valley is cut off by Liu Zheng's men and horses, the situation in Hanzhong will change greatly, and the current grain and grass of our army can only last for about 20 days. Once the problem of grain and grass cannot be solved in 20 days, I am afraid that if Nanzheng City is not defeated, our army will already be in chaos first. ”
"I understand, I'll send someone to ask the lord."
Jian Yong also understood that what Guan Yu said was indeed true. After all, the reason why he came to Guan Yu so urgently was because he realized the seriousness of this matter.
Soon, the two of them didn't stare here, and hurriedly sent someone to summon Liu Bei.
Liu Bei happened to be supervising the war in the Hanzhong region, and this matter was handed over to Liu Bei to decide, which was better than Guan Yu.
It didn't take long for Liu Bei to be invited over by them.
On the way here, the spies sent to invite Liu Bei had already briefly described in detail what Jian Yong and Guan Yu were looking for him.
After knowing the importance of this matter, Liu Bei naturally immediately put down the matter in front of him, took Ma Chao, and came from here together, planning to discuss this matter with Guan Yu.
As soon as he arrived at the camp in Chenggu County, after seeing Guan Yu and Jian Yong, Liu Bei opened his mouth to ask them.
"Second brother, Mr. Jian Yong, are you sure that the grain route of the Meridian Valley is blocked by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses?"
Liu Bei asked directly, and Jian Yong nodded solemnly.
took the initiative to answer Liu Bei's words.
"My lord, just now my spies came back to report to me about the matter here in Wugu, and now they have found out that there are traces of Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses in the Xicheng territory, if nothing else, General Fu Shiren should have been intercepted by Huang Zhong's people."
"Moreover, the grain route of the Meridian Valley should be known to Huang Zhong's army, and now that people have been sent to guard the passage here, it is difficult for our army's baggage to be transported from here."
As soon as Jian Yong said this, Liu Bei's face suddenly sank. I can't help but start to have some regrets.
"Alas, Mr. Cheng Yu told me that transporting grain and grass from the Meridian Valley was a very risky act, but I didn't listen, and now Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses have cut off the grain and grass, which is also to blame."
"Lord, I can't blame you for this matter, originally we had enough soldiers and horses to escort the grain transportation team, and there were spies and soldiers and horses stationed in the eyes of the Meridian Valley generation, Huang Zhong's men and horses wanted to cut off our grain route, it was not easy, but it just so happened that General Guan Yu's army was besieging Nanzheng in these days, which gave the enemy a chance."
