The cold December is fleeting.

In a blink of an eye, it has been seven years of Xingping. Although Wang Can, Cao Cao and Sun Jian all claimed to be self-reliant, they still used the era name of the Han Dynasty and did not make any changes.

Just after the Chinese New Year, there was a goose feather snowfall.

Nanchang County is white, decorated with heavy snow, and it is extremely enchanting.

Taishou Mansion, in the study.

The red coals burned brightly, emitting waves of heat that drove away the cold in the house.

Sun Ben, Lu Su, Zhu Zhi and Lu Fan sat opposite each other, talking and laughing Yan Yan. Sun Ben said suspiciously: "In the past month, the Shu army has never launched a fierce attack, and there have only been a few battles. Due to our strategy of avoiding but not fighting, the Shu army returned in vain. Zijing, do you think it's strange? ”

Lu Su said solemnly: "Jia Xu is a wise man under Wang Can, it is impossible to stand still, the only explanation is that he is dormant and is thinking about how to break Nanchang." At present, the weather is cold, and the Shu army is subject to the weather and will not attack the city for the time being. I suspect that the Shu army may want to survive the cold winter, wait for the beginning of spring to launch a general attack, and then conquer Nanchang County in one fell swoop. ”

Lu Fan smiled and said, "In this way, you can relax for a while." ”

Zhu Zhi shook his head and said: "Ziheng (Lu Fanzi), Jia Xu can stop the army, but we can't relax." ”

Lu Su nodded approvingly and said, "General Zhu is reasonable, Jia Xu can relax, but we must always be vigilant." Another point is that Jia Xu's army of more than 300,000 has a steady supply of grain from Jingzhou and Yizhou, and they will not run out of food, and they have strong back-up support. However, Wu is located in the southeast, a corner of peace, the national strength is not as good as Shu, and there is a shortage of food, so it is necessary to mobilize grain from various counties to be stationed in the city, so as not to run out of food. ”

Sun Ben frowned and said, "100,000 troops, 100,000 mouths, it's not easy to do!" ”

Lu Su said: "If it is not easy to do, it must be done, the three counties of Haidu, Linru and Poyang are close to Nanchang, and they are the closest, and they can requisition grain from these three places to ensure the food supply of the army." ”

At the mention of these three counties, a bright light suddenly flashed in Lu Su's mind.

He immediately said: "You say, will Jia Xu use troops against Haiduan and other three counties and quietly take these three counties?" ”

Sun Ben shook his head firmly and said, "Even if Jia Xu sends troops to sneak attack, it is impossible for us to find nothing. In addition, when sending troops to mobilize food, they can also investigate the situation. ”

Lu Su nodded, still feeling uneasy in his heart.

He thought it over, but found nothing.

……

Shu army camp, in the big tent.

Jia Xu sat next to the brazier, stretched out his hand to warm up on the brazier, and said slowly: "When people are old, they are afraid of cold. The old man is over fifty years old, and when he reaches the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he is already half of his body in the ground. At this age, it is also a great blessing in life to have the opportunity to see the lord dominate the world. ”

Next to him, Lu Meng, Dong Xi and Zhang Xiu were all surrounding the brazier.

Lu Meng smiled and said: "Military Master, you have a strong body, and it is no problem to live for another thirty years." ”

Zhang Xiu changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Military advisor, Pang De, Zhou Tai and Zhang Ren have sent back the news, they have all completed their respective tasks and successfully controlled the three counties of Haidu, Poyang and Linru, what should I do next?" ”

"Wait!!"

Jia Xu said loudly: "Wait for Lu Su to requisition grain from the three counties." ”

Referring to Lu Su, Lu Meng said with emotion: "Speaking of which, Lu Su is really capable, we continued to send soldiers to infiltrate the city, Lu Su immediately issued an order, let the people in the city report each other, and offer rewards for strangers who stayed in the city, resulting in most of the soldiers being arrested, and a small number of them stayed in the city, and the means were powerful enough." ”

Jia Xu said coldly: "The soldiers are expensive, not too expensive, if there is a person who takes root in the city, things will be easy to do." ”

……

On the eighth day of January, Sun Ben's envoy arrived in Poyang County.

Zhou Shi met the envoy sent by Sun Ben in the hall, and asked with a smile: "Lord Taishou sent you, what is the matter?" ”

The envoy showed a faint look of arrogance on his face, and said with his fists clenched: "Lord Taishou said that the grain in Wuchang County is only enough to last for half a month, and he urgently needs food, so he ordered you to prepare 10,000 stone of grain within three days." Three days later, I will escort the grain back to Nanchang. ”

Zhou Shi frowned, with an embarrassed expression, and said: "Poyang County is just a small county town, and it has already requisitioned grain last year. This year has just begun, why do you have to recruit 10,000 stone of grain. If this goes on for a long time, the people of Poyang County can't support it, and the granaries in the county can't support it! ”

The envoy's face sank and asked, "Zhou County Order, aren't you ready to hand over the grain?" ”

The tone is cold and aggressive.

Several soldiers who came with the envoy put their right hands on the hilt of their swords, and they were in a posture of drawing their swords.

Zhou Shi waved his hand again and again and said, "The battle ahead is tight, and 10,000 stone of grain will be gathered no matter what." However, in the long run, Poyang County will definitely not be able to support it. There are twenty-one counties in Yuzhang County, so why don't they requisition grain from other counties? Please tell Lord Taishou to give proper consideration to the difficulties of Poyang County. ”

The envoy's face softened, and he nodded: "I will convey your words truthfully, and I will see you in three days." ”

After speaking, the envoy left with the soldiers.

Zhou Shi stared at the back of the envoy leaving, the smile on his face disappeared, he sneered twice, and muttered to himself: "You can be arrogant!" Half a month later, the food in Nanchang County ran out, and your army ate the food sent, see what you do? For the high-spirited envoy, Zhou Shi didn't have the slightest good impression.

He turned around and went back to the inner courtyard and informed the Gu family of the matter.

After a short time, Gu took the two maids out of the city and went to the temple outside the city to offer incense.

……

On January 13, another envoy from Sun Ben arrived in Haiyang County.

The envoy saw the county order of Haiyang County and put forward a request for 10,000 stone of grain.

The county order of Haiyang County immediately agreed, prepared 10,000 stone of grain within three days, and handed it over to the envoys who came to collect grain, completing the task assigned by Sun Ben.

……

On January 15, the last envoy arrived in Linru County. Compared with Poyang County and Haiyang County, Linru County has a wider area and pays more grain, requiring 20,000 stone of grain. Although there were some difficulties, the county order of Linru County still completed the handing over of the grain within three days, and let the soldiers who carried the grain send it away.

As a result, the three counties of Poyang, Haidu, and Linru made up a total of 40,000 stone of grain.

In the same way, the county orders of the three counties all passed the news out, and finally reached Jia Xu's hands.

……

In the Shu army camp, Jia Xu brought Lu Meng, Zhang Xiu and Dong Xian

Jia Xu's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "There is news from Poyang, Haidu, and Linru counties, which clearly says that Nanchang County is short of grain, and the recently requisitioned grain will be used soon, and the opportunity has come." ”

Lu Meng asked, "Strategist, what time is it?" ”

Jia Xu said affirmatively: "According to various sources, it is inferred that the food hoarded in Nanchang County will run out in nine days, and the grain requisitioned not long ago will be used. As soon as they have eaten the new food, we will immediately launch a general attack. In this battle, Lu Su has no power to fight back, and the three counties of Haidu, Linru and Poyang have been taken, and the Wu army is surrounded again, and there is nowhere to escape. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Military division, we have been waiting for more than two months, it's time to take Nanchang County." ”

Dong Xi had a smile on his face, but his heart was cold. Especially for Jia Xu, he is even more afraid and afraid, this old guy quietly pitted Lu Su, and his methods were too clever.

……

Time passed, and it was January 25 in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the sun was shining.

The warm sun shines on the body and is very comfortable.

As usual, Lu Su still dealt with military affairs in his study and studied Jia Xu's movements. For more than a month, Jia Xu did not make the slightest movement, which made Lu Su very puzzled. The calmer he became, the more Lu Su felt the breath of a storm coming, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was getting closer and closer.

"Bang!!"

There was a loud bang, and the door to the study was slammed open.

Sun Ben hurriedly ran in from outside the study, gasping for breath, and said eagerly: "Zijing, it's not good, something happened in the city." ”

When Lu Su heard this, he chuckled in his heart and felt a huge pressure.

He had a hunch that Jia Xu was beginning to show his fangs.
