In Luzhou City, the loudest voice now is undoubtedly Tian Yue.

Whoever is the strongest will have the loudest voice. What's more, Tian Yue now controls all the food and all kinds of logistics supplies in the city.

Even after Zhu Youzhen arrived in Luzhou City, he had to succumb to Tian Yue. Even if he is the son of Zhu Wen, the son of Xiaoxiong who has captured Luoyang and Chang'an, who is almost about to reach the peak of his life, in Luzhou, he can only listen to Tian Yue.

The current official is not as good as the current management.

The current Luzhou seems to be a tripartite force.

The Wei Bo forces of the Tian clan, the Zhaoyi forces of the Xue clan, and later the Xuanwu forces of Zhu Youzhen. But in fact, it is subdivided, Tian Ping and Tian Yue in the Tian clan do not deal with each other, but now under the pressure of powerful foreign enemies, they are reluctant to join hands together. And among the Xue clan's forces, Xue Chong and Xue Jian are not close. As for Zhu Youzhen's subordinates, the ingredients are even more complicated. There are both Xuanwu soldiers, Zhaoyi soldiers, and the incorporated Shence Army.

It seems that there are seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses in Luzhou, but it is really not an ordinary difficulty to twist them into a rope, to work hard in one place, and to think in one place.

Perhaps when the Wuwei Army and the Hedong Army outside the city attacked on a large scale, these people could unite and resist together, but as long as the fighting slowed down or stopped, their internal contradictions would erupt uncontrollably.

There are just too many contradictions.

The most likely thing to detonate the contradiction is the supply of logistical materials.

In Luzhou City, Tian Yue was actually prepared, and before Tian Chenghei died, he also made an explanation to Tian Yue that he must keep Luzhou, so Tian Yue gathered a large amount of grain and grass in Luzhou, and Tian Yue was also fully prepared for the difficulties.

But the problem is that when he was making these preparations, he only estimated Wei Bo's military strength and Zhaoyi's military strength, and did not include Zhu Youzhen's subordinates. Now that Zhu Youzhen's back road has been cut off, he has no choice but to retreat into Luzhou City, and there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses at once, which suddenly makes Luzhou's supply tight.

More than 30,000 troops, people eat horses and chew horses, and the daily consumption is a terrifying number.

With such an additional force, it will be necessary to share the original distribution amount, breaking the original balance, and naturally the supply of people will be greatly reduced. Tian Yue naturally won't let his descendants suffer, so the missing part can only be borne by Tian Ping and the Xue family.

The food in his own pot was pried away, and the daily supply was greatly reduced, from being able to eat enough to being hungry every day, Tian Ping, Xue Jian, Xue Chong and others were naturally full of resentment. Even if they are the commanders of the army and understand the current situation, the soldiers under their command do not think so.

If you can't even eat enough, how can you still mention weapons to fight?

In the face of such a situation, Tian Ping, Xue Jian, and Xue Chong naturally have to fight for the interests of their subordinates, otherwise the subordinates will be scattered, and they will be the first to be unlucky.

At the military meeting held every three days, there is now a time to discuss military affairs, and there is often a time when there are quarrels over the distribution of logistics materials at the meeting.

After another fierce quarrel, the generals of the various ministries broke up unhappily. Some people are arrogant, some people are indignant, and in such a distribution meeting, there will always be people who will gain and some people who will suffer.

And there is no doubt that every time it is the Xue family that suffers, it is the soldiers and horses of the Xue family.

Tian Yue will not suffer, because things are under his control, even if Tian Ping is not in harmony with Tian Yue, but the soldiers and horses under his command are also Wei Bo's elite, his own brothers, at such a time, no matter how estranged he is, he will not be hungry. Zhu Youzhen was originally considered a weak party, but now that Cao Huan led a large army to help and had entered Weizhou, his voice suddenly became louder.

In this way, the Xue brothers can only be wronged.

The original owners of Luzhou, the Xue brothers, have now fallen to the point where they can't even eat enough.

"Da Lang, how is the battle on your side?" Xue Jian saw Xue Chong, whose face was full of gloom, and took the initiative to step forward to say hello. The Xue clan in Luzhou City is now the two people in charge of Xue Jian and Xue Chong, but there are still many differences in the circumstances of the two. As the leader of the introduction of the Tian clan into Zhaoyi, Xue Chong's life is much better than Xue Jian's, at least until now, he still has the command of the first army alone, and he has the right to speak independently against Yang Zhi and soldiers and horses in the direction of Xingzhou in Beicheng, and he is still qualified to speak at such a military meeting.

In comparison, Xue Chong was much more miserable. His soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and now he was incorporated under Tian Ping's command, and like Pei Zhiqing, he obeyed Tian Ping's command against You Yong's troops in the east.

However, in terms of seniority in the Xue family, Xue Chong is the same as Xue Ping, and he is still the boss in the ranks, but he was just a frustrated side house of the Xue family before. And Xue Jian is the brother of the late Xue Song, the king of Yanping County, and Xue Chong is also going to call the fourth uncle.

"Fourth uncle, I'm okay on either side, I know Yang Zhi and the roots, but Cheng Xu is a little difficult to deal with, and those Shence troops are a little desperate when they fight, which makes people have a little headache."

Xue Jian sighed: "I really don't know what kind of tricks Wuwei has, even a fish belly like Shence Jun has changed its appearance after Wuwei shook it around, and it has become so difficult to entangle." Hey, are your soldiers still well fed today? ”

Xue Chong's face was gloomy: "There is already a problem, how can I only let the soldiers on duty be full, and those who are not on duty will only eat a full meal a day, if this continues, I really don't know what it will become?" ”

"Tian Ping is pretty good to me, two meals a day can barely fill my stomach, but I don't have much oil and water. Go back and get some food from me to get you over, so you can last a little bit. Xue Jian said.

Xue Chong was a little surprised, but also a little moved. He arched his hand at Xue Jian and said, "Fourth Uncle, I really want to thank you, you have solved my great difficulty." ”

"It's all the Xue family, why are you so clear at such a time? Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for saving my life in the first place? Let's go, go to the proud building, I invite you to have a good meal. Xue Jian said.

Xue Chong smiled: "Now that the city is like this, the proud building has long been closed, what can they have, even if they have, they have all been requisitioned, right?" ”

Xue Jian smiled: "A place like the Proud Building, no matter what, is still a bit old-fashioned, others naturally don't have it, the two of us go, they rummage through the bottom of the box, and it can always come out of the whole table." ”

Proud House is a time-honored brand in Luzhou City, longer than the days of Xue's rule in Luzhou City, of course, it is also closed now, only the shopkeeper and two or three old guys are left to stick to it, as for the owner of the proud building, I heard that it has long run away, and even the shopkeeper does not know where the owner has gone.

Xue Jian and Xue Chong, the old shopkeeper naturally recognized them. As Xue Jian said, if others don't entertain, the two of them naturally want to entertain. In the hut next to the back room, a small table was placed, and the old shopkeeper personally cooked, and actually made two meat, three vegetables and one soup, and the rice was only corn, but fortunately, the old shopkeeper actually dug a jar of wine from the ground. It made Xue Jian and Xue Chong happy.

"I can't imagine that we can't eat enough every day, and you old guy still has good things hidden." Xue Jian scolded with a smile at the old shopkeeper: "On weekdays, we hide here to eat and drink spicy food, but we are working hard above the city, count you as acquaintances, otherwise I would have to demolish your proud building today." ”

The old shopkeeper bowed down and said with a smile: "After living for fifty or sixty years, I will always remember to hide something in case of emergency, there is no other person from it, but General Xue came, even if he didn't eat it, he had to take it out to honor the two." ”

Xue Jian waved his hand: "Okay, I will remember what you said today, you go and get busy with yours, I have something to say with Da Lang." ”

The old shopkeeper walked away.

"Da Lang, I will give you a glass first, if you hadn't reported the news, I was afraid that I would have been killed by Xue Wei, and now the grave is full of grass." Xue Jian raised his glass and said.

Xue Chong smiled bitterly and drank it all.

The two stopped talking, and even drank a few glasses of wine, their faces were a little drunk, but Xue Jian sighed again: "Da Lang, now I really regret it, you say, if I didn't go to the army at the beginning, but simply handed over the territory of the soldiers and horses to the second child, learn from the original Erlang myself, and run back to my hometown to become a rich man, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Xue Chong sighed: "Fourth uncle, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, unwilling, unwilling." Xue Jian shook his head slowly and said, "It's just that things have come to this point, and there is more than 108,000 miles away from what we thought." The second child is dead, and I heard that there are no bones left. cough, even King Fu has turned into a handful of ashes, what is he worth. ”

At this point, both of them fell silent again. The food on the table was the best they'd seen in those days, but both of them were tasteless.

"Erlang, you say, can we hold Luzhou?"

"Maybe, hasn't Cao Huan already arrived in Weizhou? Otherwise, why would Zhu Youzhen be so arrogant today? Xue Jian said. If we can hold out for a while, the Wuwei army will be attacked on both sides, and we may withdraw our troops. Didn't Tian Yue say that Wei Bojie Town was already organizing soldiers and horses to prepare for a direct attack on Yizhou to relieve the siege of Luzhou? ”

Xue Chong smiled, lowered his voice and said: "Liar, Tian Ping told me that Wei Bo's main force has long been emptied, and now almost all of them are concentrated in Luzhou, and Tian Xu and Tian Huai in Wei Bo are already half-hearted." They are indeed recruited, but their messengers are running diligently to Wuyi! ”

Xue Chong's hand shook, and the wine in the cup suddenly spilled.

"This, it's true? Why didn't Tian Ping tell Tian Yue about this situation? ”

"Tian Ping must have been involved." Xue Jian pouted and said: "Don't forget, Tian Ping is Tian Shuai's own son, Tian Yue is just a nephew, Tian Shuai was seriously injured unexpectedly at that time, and there was only Tian Yue by his side, who knows what Tian Shuai's last words were?" ”

Xue Chong was shocked.

"Besides, at this point, who doesn't think about their future, Tian Ping and Tian Xu, Tian Huai must be the same, they don't think about themselves?"
