Linying, where the Wei army is located, is also where the Xiahou Shanghou army is located.

About four watch ago, when Xiahou Shang went on the expedition, he inspected the grain storage here, and Cao Xiu inspected it together.

Before the war, what he was most afraid of was that Tian Xin would break through here and obtain Linying grain storage like he had obtained the Chen County Mansion.

Cao Xiu was really relieved to see that the grain storage was correct, this is life-saving food, and it is also life-saving food.

The decisive battle is imminent, and if the grain stored in the Linying Mansion falls into the hands of the Han army, it will have a far-reaching impact.

There are more than 400,000 stone army rations here, enough for 100,000 troops to eat for two months.

The food supply of the Han army was very tight, and since the weather began in winter, the Han army could only rely on manpower and animal power to transport grain.

Although it can supply its own consumption, the people gathered around Wankou and Yunxian also need food.

About 700,000 people are eating food, as well as cattle and horses and other animals with great appetites.

Roughly converted, the supply pressure of the Han army was about 800,000 people, and the daily food consumption was more than 12,000 stones.

Regardless of whether the Han army's front-line granary mansion is set up in Wancheng or Fangcheng...... There is not much difference, and they can all be regarded as shipping from Xiangyang.

Grain passes through Xiangyang to the north, and now it can only be transported by land, relying on rickshaws and horses.

From Liu Bei's camp to Xiangyang, the distance is more than 500 miles, which is already a great burden.

The Wei army fought from the position of Liu Bei's camp to Xiangyang, and in the earlier period, it also attacked Zhang Xiu from a similar position in Wancheng, and this supply line made the Wei army suffer too much.

So much so that after the Battle of Chibi and during the Battle of Xiangfan, the Wei army did not launch a large-scale military attack on Liu Bei again.

The reason is that the grain road is fortunate, and the negative impact of the 500-mile road in terms of human labor, grain consumption, and grain production reduction is too far-reaching.

From the point of view of comprehensive national strength recuperation and development, even if the expedition to Jingnan wins a small victory, it will be a loss. Therefore, the Wei army did not start another war, and it was not until the Battle of Xiangfan that Cao Ren launched this war when it could no longer be restrained.

As a result, the Jingzhou army with Han water transportation was even faster, and before Cao Ren's southern army did not combine to form a cluster of combat power, it quickly attacked Cao Ren with a punch on the bridge of Cao Ren's nose, and then beat Cao Ren down with the second punch.

The Han army had the Yangtze River and the Han River for water transportation, and there was not much difference between the grain storage in Jiangling and Xiangyang in the rear.

And now, the more than 400,000 stone military food stored here in Linying is life-saving food for the Han army.

With this batch of grain, the Han army could fight for two months.

In two months, it is very likely that the Han army will capture Yique, or break through Xingyang to obtain the grain in the Xingyang Mansion.

Give the Han army another two months, I really can't imagine how much damage it will cause.

For example, the grain lost in the Chen County Pavilion allowed Tian Xin and Ma Chao to cross Yuzhou in great strides and kill to the edge of Xuzhou.

Fortunately, the Yanyu people moved one after another to help the Great Wei consume the food of the Han army, and quickly consumed the food in the Chen County Mansion.

The grain in Chen County can also be regarded as taken from the people for the people, but the grain in Linying must not fall into the hands of the Han army again.

With the arrogance of the Han army, if you get enough food, it is very likely to take root in the area of Xudu and carry out the military camp.

At that time, the Wei army could not be expelled, and when the Han army gathered for two years and launched an attack again, it would directly obtain supplies from Xudu, relying on the complex and vertical and horizontal Central Plains water system to transport grain.

If the Han army's grain transportation channels can be blocked, or the grain reserves in Wancheng or Fangcheng can be burned, then the Han army will be unable to attack, and the only thing it can do is to protect the people and ask Nanyang to retreat.

It is very difficult to cut off and burn the food of the Han army, but it is not so difficult to burn your own food.

Cao Xiu is not very reluctant, no one wants to waste food in troubled times.

But if you lose the decisive battle, burn the food, and your side still has a chance to struggle and resist; If the grain falls into the hands of the Han army, then ...... You don't have to fight.

What defeated the fighting spirit of Su Zeyanzhou Army was the strong combat effectiveness of Tian Xin and Beifu soldiers; What defeated the mentality of the Yanyuqing Xu Shi clan and made it desperate was the grain of Chen County that Tian Xin was holding in his hand.

Losing the grain of Chen County, the Yanzhou scholars had no choice but to support Liu Xie's restoration as emperor, and quickly received the support and response of the surrounding counties.

If the Linying grain is lost now, the entire Wei army and the Luoyang court will be affected.

Cao Xiu grabbed a handful of corn and rubbed it, burning grain was a matter of moral pressure, and he was reluctant in his heart, so he turned to other things: "Boren can know that when Ma Chao's department abused Chen Pei, my heart was like a knife, and I couldn't sleep all night. ”

His mother's grave was in the suburbs, and his two sons married and lived in his place.

The son can escape, but the mother's grave may not be kept.

In particular, his defeat of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao in the Battle of Xia Xuan not only crushed the Han army's attempt to open up the Liangzhou battlefield, but also shattered Ma Chao's foundation.

Ma Chao, who couldn't get along in Liangzhou, was transferred to Jingzhou, and was able to rise again with the help of Guan Yu and Tian Xin.

The Cao family and the Ma family have blood feuds, and from the clan to the individual, it is difficult to alleviate the situation between each other.

Xiahou Shang understood what Cao Xiu said, and every Qian Pei knew what Ma Chao wanted to do, not only wanted to break through Qian County and kill them wantonly, but also wanted to dig up the ancestral graves of various families in the suburbs.

It was Tian Xin who stopped Ma Chao from digging graves, it is okay to kill people, there is no need to abuse and bully the deceased.

Seeing that Cao Xiu's words were shaken, Xiahou Shang blinked his eyes and looked to the side: "Marquis Changping, the Han army is ashamed of the violent dead. Tian Xiaoxian has a temperament and dissuades Ma Chao, also to save Ma Chao. ”

It was not to consider the Qian Pei people, but to consider Ma Chao and the overall image of the Han army, so he persuaded Ma Chao not to dig up the grave to vent his hatred.

So don't be sentimental, it can't be because you know each other, so you don't do it.

Cao Xiu sighed when he heard this, frowning and distressed: "Yes, he is proud of his discipline and disdains to defile his feathers. It's just that I miss this matter, and you and I will fight against it again, and I apologize in my heart. ”

He threw the corn in his hand into the warehouse and squinted at Xiahou Shang's side face.

After all, they don't know each other very well, and the relationship with each other is not very good, so there are too many things to discuss.

The township party and the world friends have a sparse blood relationship with each other, and they are still familiar strangers, not all the way to each other.

The state of Wei is too big, and the big ones can be divided from one side to the other; It is also very small, and it cannot accommodate the friendship of the second-generation military leaders of the two families.

Xiahou Shang always looked sideways, as if there were fat hamsters that could only dance.

Cao Xiu restrained his emotions and bowed slightly to Li Xu and Zhou Wei who came with him, and the two of them shouted to the accompanying sergeants and began to stack the bundles of straw in an orderly manner.

The Great Wei Emperor, who grew up together, did not allow himself to keep filial piety and did not respect his will, so he sent Fu Xun to supervise three meals a day...... Are you a human being, a mother's child, or a horse?

He has only seen a few enemies, but he can uphold morality, he does not dig graves to vent his hatred, and he can also dissuade Ma Chao, who has a blood feud, from digging graves.

With Ma Chao's personality and blood feud, this process of dissuasion must have been full of disputes.

The preservation of his mother's grave and ancestral grave is due to Tian Xin's adherence to principles...... Such a person deserves to win.

What is right and what is wrong?

Everyone has a measure and can discern right from wrong.

But the countless township parties have fought one after another, so that there is today's world, how can they take a step back?

This step has been retreated, the Han army will be held accountable, how many Qian Peixiang party and in-laws will be unlucky?

Cao Xiu walked to look at Xiahou Shang, who was always looking sideways at the corner, and didn't say anything, thinking that what happened to Xiahou Shang would have some common words.

But now, Xiahou Shang has made a choice, and he attaches more importance to the collective of the Qian Pei Township Party.

Seeing that Cao Xiu and the others had left, Xiahou Ba came up and whispered: "Brother, why are you so angry?" ”

"Dowthorn."

Xiahou Shang breathed a long sigh of relief, his face was tired, and explained: "Great Wei can't die yet. ”
