The strongest, the fastest update of the last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei latest chapter!

At the reception dinner, it was really a very luxurious pomp, and if it was not surprising, it must have been provided by Guo Huai.

However, Guo Huai was not present, this reception banquet can be regarded as a private banquet in the Yongliang Governor's Mansion, and there are not many people participating in the banquet, except for Cao Liang Yanghu Du Pre, there are only a few henchmen and generals of Xiahou Xuan.

At the banquet, Cao Liang and his old acquaintance Ren Lan met.

Ren Lan is Xiahou Xuan's long history when he served as the general of Zhengnan, and it can be regarded as Cao Liang's predecessor, since Huainan returned to Luoyang, the two have not met again for almost a year, this meeting, Cao Liang is slightly embarrassed, although this long history position is not his own request, but Xiahou Xuan's repeated request, despite this, Cao Liang is still a little embarrassed.

However, Ren Ran is very calm, in fact, Ren Ran is also very clear that the last time he led the southern army out of the predicament, it was completely dependent on Cao Liang's performance, if he really led the army, he didn't know that he would go to that dead end.

Even in a sense, his life was saved by Cao Liang, if Cao Liang had not made plans and killed the enemy bravely, the entire southern army would have the possibility of overturning, and under the nest, there would be no eggs, so it was all up to Cao Liang to pick up this life.

The position of Changshi is the most important, not only the right hand of the general, but also to deal with the affairs of the general's palace, but also to give advice to the general, plan and strategize, and assume the responsibility of promoting the entire army when the general is unable to see things for some reason.

In the last battle of Huainan, after Xiahou Xuan was suddenly wounded, the command of the southern army was placed on Ren Lan's shoulders, which was quite a bit of a heavy responsibility. But Ren Ran was stretched thin and had difficulty moving forward, if it weren't for Cao Liang standing up to preside over the overall situation, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

In fact, at that time, Ren Ran moved the idea of giving up the position of Changshi to Cao Liang, and he would unify the command, but if he did this, it would involve all aspects of the problem, plus the war was tense, and he was out of breath, so Ren Ran had to do it.

This time, Xiahou Xuan went out again, and Xiahou Xuan arranged for him to serve as the grain and grass superintendent, and Ren Ran was full of joy and relieved.

The grain and grass supervision and transportation made the army responsible for the supply of grain and grass and the logistics of the baggage, this errand, Ren Ran himself felt very suitable, at least he did not have to take up the post of a long history with a heavy responsibility, Ren Ran felt a lot more relaxed.

What's more, this position is also very important, the weight of grain and grass is related to the survival of the army, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which shows its importance.

Ren Ran is still handy at doing this kind of business, so when he met Cao Liang again, Ren Ran was at ease, calm, and did not mean to be surprised at all.

Seeing Ren Ran like this, Cao Liang was also in a good mood, and he had a good conversation with Ren Ran.

Ren Ran was recruited by Xiahou Xuan for the first time, and when he came to Chang'an with Xiahou Xuan, when it came to grain and grass affairs, Ren Ran had a helpless look on his face.

Ren Lan's grain and grass supervision envoy, the main task is to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, but so far, the grain and grass raised is much less than planned, Ren Lan is a bit of a clever woman to cook without rice.

According to the original plan, nearly seventy percent of the grain and grass had to be raised locally from Guanzhong, and the grain and grass of the 150,000 army was really not a small amount.

According to the plan, nearly 500,000 grains and grass will be raised from Guanzhong, but so far, less than one-third of the grain and grass has been raised.

After all, Ren Ran is only a grain and grass supervisor, and without grain and grass, he can't make it out of thin air.

Cao Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised, how many years earlier in the land of Yongliang has been the implementation of Tuntian, the military and the people at the same time, the army in addition to idle, but also actively engaged in the construction of Tuntian, Yongliang land has many granaries, is it possible to take out 500,000 pieces of grain and grass, there are such great difficulties?

Ren Lan explained with a wry smile that in the Yongliang area in recent years, with the subside of the war, and after the resignation of Sima Yi, who had been paying close attention to Tuntian, Tuntian has become increasingly abandoned, and the Tuntian that can still be maintained now is less than one-tenth of the original one-two.

In addition, there is a great drought in Guanzhong this year, the grain harvest is not good, and several granaries near Chang'an can't even take out a grain of grain, and the warehouses are cleaner than their faces, and even the money of many officials has been in arrears for several months.

This is indeed the biggest problem in front of Xiahou Xuan, he came to Guanzhong in advance, the main purpose is to prepare grain and grass, and now the difficulty of grain and grass will seriously affect the army's expedition plan.

Hearing Cao Liang and Ren Ran talk about the issue of grain and grass, Xiahou Xuan no longer concealed it, and told the situation and Cao Liang and Pandi, anyway, after Cao Liang officially took office tomorrow, what needs to be solved urgently is the problem of grain and grass.

Xiahou Xuan and Ren Lan said the same, all in all, if the grain and grass problem is not solved one day, the departure of the army will be delayed for one more day.

As for whether or not it can be mobilized from Luoyang and other regions, it is indeed contrary to the original intention, after all, Luoyang originally planned to mobilize nearly 300,000 grains and grass, which is already limited by capacity, and it is indeed difficult to increase the quota.

After Cao Liang listened, he fell into deep thought.

Guo Huai wants to make a hindrance from it, first of all, the problem of grain and grass, for many years, the power in the Yongliang region has been concentrated in their hands, if Guo Huai wants to sabotage this expedition to Shu, in fact, the simplest thing is to empty a few granaries near Chang'an, so that Xiahou Xuan is in a state of no grain to adjust, so that the Wei army's expedition plan can be easily aborted.

The so-called desertion of Tuntian, naturally it was only arranged by Guo Huai, otherwise how could a good Tuntian be abandoned for no reason, Guo Huai is shrewd and strong, obviously this Tuntian thing, there are a lot of cats.

But now is not the matter of solving Tuntian, even if Tuntian is done well, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, if Tuntian wants to get benefits, then at least after next autumn.

Now how can Xiahou Xuan wait for so long, what he needs is to raise 500,000 grains and grass in place within this month or two, everything else is nonsense.

As soon as he thought of this problem, Xiahou Xuan was stuffy in his chest, and directly kicked the ball to Cao Liang: "Ziming, you are resourceful, think of a way, how can you raise this shortfall of grain, the army goes on an expedition, only depends on this, this matter of grain and grass depends on you!" ”
