The Great Tent of the Allied Army.
"Returning to the alliance leader, deputy alliance leader and his generals, due to the long time of the war, the coalition army is about to face the threat of running out of food!" The military ration and grass supply officer said.
"What?" The princes and overlords present all exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.
Although the eastern coalition army was unexpectedly wiped out this time, after all, the eastern coalition army was the least in terms of defensive strength and invested troops, so compared with the entire coalition army, the defeat of the eastern coalition army did not shake the foundation of the huge coalition army too much, and the powerful military strength of the princes' coalition army still existed.
And although the eastern coalition army was almost wiped out, it also killed Dong Zhuo's henchman and fierce general, Hua Xiong, and it can be said that one of Dong Zhuo's arms has been removed.
The most important thing is that after this battle, on the premise of paralyzing Dong Zhuo, he also successfully achieved the strategic goals decided by the coalition forces before, and everything is developing in the direction that the princes from all walks of life want.
If the situation continues to develop towards the set goal, then the day when Dong Zhuo can be completely eradicated is just around the corner.
But I didn't expect that at this most critical time, hundreds of thousands of huge coalition troops, the weakest link finally couldn't hold on!
The huge coalition is about to run out of food.
It is conceivable that once the supply of military food and grass is not available, even if you are no longer invincible to the world's heroic troops, the only thing left is to retreat all the way.
If you can retreat safely, this is still the best ending.
But imagine that the enemy will miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in vain when he knows that the opponent has no food and grass and the opponent's morale is low?
In the case of food shortage, once pursued by the enemy, it is equivalent to sending the army under the enemy's butcher's knife, which is a one-sided slaughter.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo's situation is very different. Relying on Luoyang's geographical advantages, coupled with the large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the city, Dong Zhuo could completely huddle in Luoyang City and wait for the time when the huge coalition army ran out of food.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo, who was watching the strong and strong from the sidelines, would never watch the huge coalition army easily retreat from Luoyang after running out of food, so once the coalition army ran out of food, the consequences could be imagined.
Even Cao Cao, who has always been calm and moody, also showed a worried look.
However, there was only one person present with a calm expression, and he was Wang Tianjie!
And judging from his look, it seems that the threat of the coalition army running out of food is also expected.
"Don't panic! How long can the food and grass of my coalition army last? Wang Tianjie was the first to ask.
"The most grain and grass left by the coalition forces is ......." The quartermaster was about to answer, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Wang Tianjie.
"I don't want the most, tell me the minimum time under normal circumstances!" Wang Tianjie said slowly in a somewhat serious tone.
"Yes, Deputy Alliance. If we estimate by the lowest limit, the grain and grass of our coalition army can only last for about ten more days! The quartermaster replied again.
"Remember, except for the generals here today, there must not be the slightest leak about the supply of grain and grass, otherwise I will ask you!" Wang Tianjie's eyes flashed with a cold glint and said slowly.
"Yes...... Be! The quartermaster suddenly felt an irrepressible feeling of extreme fear in his heart, and said with some trembling.
"Very well, let's go down!" Wang Tianjie nodded slightly.
"Yes!" As he spoke, the quartermaster bowed down and quickly withdrew from the tent, which made him feel extremely frightened.
"Five days, I can only hold on for five days!" Hearing this, Yuan Shao seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and suddenly sat down on the coach's chair, and muttered with an extremely unresolved expression.
The other princes, even Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others, were very ugly after hearing this.
And Cao Cao's face was even more cloudy and uncertain while being ugly.
Once the coalition army is defeated by Dong Zhuo's army, then each of them will be greatly damaged in vitality and strength.
Why did Cao Cao and the other princes of the Eighteenth Route openly rebel against Dong Zhuo?
This is not because of his prestige and influence in their hearts, nor is it to oppose Dong Zhuo's various atrocities, or perverse behavior, absurdity, etc., but Dong Zhuo's rapid rise, and Dong Zhuo's great ambition in his heart, and even began to watch the other princes in the world, which has made them feel a great threat and fear today.
Therefore, under the call of Yuan Shao, they took the opportunity to unite.
Maybe one person's strength is not strong enough, but the strength of the princes of the world united together is definitely not something that he Dong Zhuo can compete with!
The encirclement and suppression of Dong Zhuo must have a justifiable banner, and Dong Zhuo's atrocities are perverse, and the harem has become the slogan of the princes' alliance to encircle and suppress Dong Zhuo.
The so-called slogans are all political methods and political tricks that politicians and "conspirators" have always played in order to "justify the name" and to be able to grasp the people's movements.
Besides, Dong Zhuo, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, and is even more a master above 10,000 people under one person, has been surrounded by such a blatant group of princes and coalitions for so many days, with Dong Zhuo's character of retribution, not to mention that these princes who openly rebelled against Dong Zhuo in the next place, let alone how suddenly they faced Dong Zhuo's army with great damage to their vitality and strength, and what kind of scene would they end?
And Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, finally became the leader of the alliance, and now the situation is developing step by step in the direction they hope, once the coalition forces successfully eradicate Dong Zhuo, then he Yuan Shao, as the supreme commander of the coalition forces, will be so glorious in the hearts of the world!
But he didn't expect that at the most critical moment, the food and grass of the coalition army was suddenly not supplied, Yuan Shao knew very well that once the grain and grass of the coalition army were cut off, it would be a devastating blow to the entire coalition army, and seeing infinite glory, it became infinite infamy in an instant, how could this be acceptable to Yuan Shao!
"I don't know if the generals don't know what to do...... solution?"
