Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Wu Han took a soaked sweat towel, wiped the dust and sweat stains on his neck, and said angrily: "Next time, let me meet this villain Xie Gong, I will break his neck with my own hands!" ”

Deng Yu said: "Lord, Xie Gong is planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wants our army and Wang Lang's army to fight for both defeats, and then he will reap the benefits of the fishermen." ”

Of course, Liu Xiu could guess what the hell Xie Gong was thinking in his heart. Xie Gong is a person who has both scheming and ability, but it's a pity that he is loyal to Liu Xuan and can't use it for himself.

He didn't say anything more about Xie Bow, even if Xie Bow didn't come to help, he could lead his subordinates to destroy the main force of Wang Lang's army on the opposite side alone, but his own side would also pay a lot of casualties.

Kou Sui's words changed, and he said quietly: "After today's battle, Li Yu and Zhang Shen are afraid that they will not dare to go out of the camp to fight easily!" ”

Zhu You frowned and continued: "If Li Yu and Zhang Shengui huddle in the camp and avoid fighting, it will not be easy for our army to storm the enemy camp. ”

Now there are still 100,000 combatable troops on his side, but the main force of Wang Lang's army is still there, there are still more than 100,000 people, and it is of course not easy to fight with 100,000 to attack the camp of tens of thousands of troops.

Liu Xiu was amused when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Why do we take the initiative to attack Wang Langjun?" ”

Zhu You was stunned, and just about to speak, Deng Yu explained: "What the lord means is that as long as our army continues to march towards Handan, Wang Langjun will naturally not retreat into the camp anymore, and can only go out of the camp to fight." ”

After listening to Deng Yu's explanation, Zhu You suddenly realized. Deng Yu looked at Liu Xiu and said with a solemn face: "Lord, there is not much food and grass in our army. ”

"How many days is enough?" Liu Xiu asked.

Deng Yu Zhengse said: "It's best to last for three days." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed. The food and grass in the army is only enough to eat for three days! Within three days, can you beat Handan?

Also, didn't the lord say before that there was a way to solve the problem of grain and grass? But where is the grain and grass that the lord spoke of?

People looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes, the latter lowered his head, pondered for a while, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, our army will set off and continue to march towards Handan!" ”

Kou Sui said cautiously: "Lord, our army set off to force Wang Lang's army to fight, and in today's battle, our army suffered a lot of casualties, and the soldiers of the whole army are exhausted!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "The casualties of our army are large, the casualties of Wang Lang's army are even greater, the soldiers of our army are tired, and the soldiers of Wang Lang's army are even more tired!" When the two armies are fighting, they are talking about one blow of strength, and on the contrary, they will decline again, and then they will be exhausted. ”

Kou Sui nodded and said no more. Everyone discussed the next battle again, and then left one after another at Liu Xiu's signal.

After a day of fierce fighting, although Liu Xiu did not go to the battlefield in person to fight the enemy, his nerves were always in a state of high tension, and now he is relaxed, and he is also physically and mentally exhausted.

He returned to his tent, and as soon as he entered, Guo Shengtong stepped forward and asked with concern, "Ah Xiu, how is the battle today?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at Guo Shengtong, untied the big slug behind him, handed it to Guo Shengtong, and said, "It's very smooth, the first battle is successful!" ”

Guo Shengtong took the big coat, put it on the hanger, and then helped Liu Xiu remove the armor on his body one by one. She said: "I heard that Xie Shangshu, who originally promised to come to help, did not come. ”

Liu Xiu responded lightly, and said in a brisk tone: "He is here, it is the icing on the cake, if he doesn't come, it will not have much impact on our army, and Madame doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Hearing this, Guo Shengtong's nervousness eased a lot. helped Liu Xiu take off all the armor, and asked his maid to prepare a bucket of hot water. Liu Xiu took off her clothes, soaked in the bathtub, and closed her eyes comfortably.

Guo Shengtong took a handkerchief, helped him wipe his back, and said, "Ah Xiu, is there not much food and grass in the army?" ”

Liu Xiu still closed his eyes and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"The maid heard the small talk of the soldiers, saying that in the past, in Zhending, they used to eat three full meals a day, but now it has become two meals a day, and they can't eat enough for each meal." Guo Shengtong whispered.

"The follow-up grain and grass of our army should also be delivered soon." Liu Xiu muttered sleepily.

Guo Shengtong said: "Ah Xiu, I will also have two meals a day in the future." Liu Xiu opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked back at Guo Shengtong. Looking at Liu Xiu's naked body, Guo Shengtong's face turned red, and he whispered: "The concubine is Ah Xiu's wife, and she should set an example and share weal and woe with the soldiers." Not to mention the soldiers

They fought on the battlefield in front, were born and died, and only ate two meals a day, and the concubines were in the camp, without danger or danger, and they should be the same as the soldiers in terms of food and clothing. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu was both surprised and moved.

In order to marry Liu Yang, the wife he hastily married back is really gentle and virtuous. Although he was born in the palace, he did not have the temper of a delicate lady, but he was very able to endure hardships.

Life in the army is very difficult, and there is nothing to ask for, but Guo Shengtong can persevere, which is not easy in itself. Liu Xiu held Guo Shengtong's soft thorn and sighed: "Madame is like this, what more can the husband ask for." ”

Because of the shortage of food and grass in the army, even Liu Xiu's wife Guo Shengtong reduced three meals a day to two meals a day, and this matter soon spread among the army.

The soldiers who originally had complaints in their hearts, after knowing this, they were all deeply moved, not only the complaints in their hearts were swept away, but also their impression of Guo Shengtong has changed 180 degrees.

In the past, Guo Shengtong was the wife of the lord in their minds, which was out of reach, but now, they are a little closer to Guo Shengtong and a little more admired.

It can be said that Guo Shengtong did this very clever way, and it seems that it is just a trivial matter, but it is not.

Guo Shengtong's approach not only helped her husband, but also allowed her to win a high prestige among Liu Xiu's subordinates.

In the future dispute between Guo Shengtong and Yin Lihua, Liu Xiu's subordinates have so many people who support Guo Shengtong, and the people's desire is accumulated bit by bit from these seemingly inconspicuous little things.

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Xiujun began to set up camp.

Xiaomei, the maid beside Xu Xiling, helped her pack her things and load them into the carriage, and whispered: "Miss, I heard that Mrs. decided to reduce three meals a day to two meals a day. ”

"Oh?" Xu Xiling was stunned, quite surprised by this. Now that the matter has spread, many soldiers are discussing it in private, praising Mrs. Xiande, and like Da Sima, she can share weal and woe with everyone. They also said that Da Sima was able to marry his wife, which was not only a blessing for Da Sima, but also a general

Blessings to the scholars! ”

After Xu Xiling heard this, her eyebrows tightened, and she said quietly: "I really underestimated her!" ”

In the past, in her opinion, Guo Shengtong was just an orphan girl, saying that she was from the palace, but in fact she was just sending people under the fence. The reason why the lord married her was just a political marriage, and he had no feelings for her.

But now, Guo Shengtong is far from being as simple as she imagined, this woman is much more scheming than Yin Lihua, and the city government is much deeper.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiling couldn't help but sigh secretly, there was really a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, just away from Yin Lihua, and now there is another Guo Shengtong.

Liu Xiujun left the Yiyang area and marched straight to Handan, which really forced Wang Langjun out of the camp.

After yesterday's battle, Wang Lang's army suffered more than 60,000 casualties, the key is that there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers in it, after this battle, Wang Lang's army's morale has fallen to the bottom, and it is really not suitable to continue to fight.

But Liu Xiujun did not give them time to recover at all, and began to march towards Handan the next day, forced to be helpless, Li Yu and Zhang Shen could only bite the bullet and lead the army to fight to block Liu Xiujun's advance.

This time, the battlefield of the battle between the two sides was located in the middle of Yiyang and Handan. This second confrontation between the two sides was not as tragic as the first day of fighting, and the two sides fought for only two hours before ending with the voluntary defeat of Wang Langjun.

As Wang Lang's army retreated, Liu Xiujun did not stay in place to rest and continued to march south. A day later, a large army led by Liu Xiu arrived in Handan.

As soon as Liu Xiujun arrived in Handan, Xie Gong personally came to the barracks to visit Liu Xiu. After the meeting, Xie Gong also specially explained to Liu Xiu why he did not lead the army to Yiyang to help.

Listening to Xie Gong's flawed explanation, Liu Xiu neither argued with him, nor did he blame him, but just quietly bowed to Xie and wronged.

After sending Xie Bow away, Wu Han and the other generals said unjustly: "The lord should really kill this thief now!" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled. Now he is still Liu Xuan's courtier in name, and Xie Gong is a confidant and important minister by Liu Xuan's side. Captain Si Li killed Shang Shuling, how can this be explained to the people of the world?

If he really did this, it was estimated that Liu Xuan would wake up laughing in his dreams, because he had put himself in the situation that Wanfu was referring to. Liu Xiu would not make such a mistake, let alone do such a stupid thing.

Deng Yu said: "The lord should ask Xie to borrow some grain and grass." ”

Liu Xiu said quietly: "First of all, there shouldn't be too much grain and grass left in Xie Gong's army, and secondly, even if Xie Gong has grain in his hand, Zhonghua, do you think he will lend it to us?" ”

With what Xie Bow did, he should have been more happy to see his soldiers starve to death.

Deng Yu held his forehead and sighed heavily, he was also in a hurry, and he even thought of borrowing food from Xie Gong. The issue of grain and grass has now become an urgent issue, and it is also the biggest crisis facing our side.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the current Liu Xiujun, the threat of insufficient grain and grass has far exceeded the threat of Wang Langjun.

Xie bowed and left Liu Xiujun's camp and returned to his own camp, where he immediately got into his camp.

Qin Ziwen was waiting for him, and when she saw him come back, the first thing she asked was: "Husband, do you see that Wu Xinhou's grain and grass are already insufficient?" ”

She had studied Liu Xiujun's marching route, bypassing Julu City, and indeed avoiding the difficult battle, but the problem that came was that the logistics supply was cut off.

From Liu Xiujun bypassing Julu City to now, the time is not short, even if the army brings enough grain and grass, it should be almost consumed by now. Xie bowed and glanced at Qin Ziwen, sat down, and said with a frown: "I didn't have a chance to see the grain in the camp of Marquis Wuxin, but the soldiers in the camp are mostly yellow-faced and thin, and I stayed until noon, and Marquis Wuxin did not keep me."

Meals. ”

Qin Ziwen's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with a smile: "In Wu Xinhou's army, there is really not enough food and grass!" ”

Xie bowed and looked at his wife, sighed lightly, and said meaningfully: "Madam, the grain and grass in our army can be divided into a part and sent to Wuxinhou!" ”

Qin Ziwen looked at Xie Bow in surprise and said, "Husband, now is the best opportunity to consume the strength of Wuxin Hou, and Husband must not give birth to the benevolence of a woman!" ”

Bow and smile bitterly. He didn't like Liu Xiu as a person, and he also thought that Liu Xiu was the biggest threat to His Majesty, but when he arrived at Liu Xiujun's camp, he couldn't bear to see so many hungry soldiers. That's 100,000 people! And they are all meritorious people who killed Wang Lang and the thief! Do you want to watch them all starve to death?
