Chapter 162: A dilemma
Mu Yi participated in the princes' discussion of Dong, and the idea from beginning to end was the wealth that these people and Dong Zhuo had grabbed from Luoyang.
Now that the first step has been completed, the next thing that must be solved is to catch up with Lu Bu and snatch the grain, grass and wealth from Lu Bu.
If there is no grain and grass, even if Mu Yi has nearly a million people, he will not be able to feed them. At that time, these people will not only not be able to rely on him, but will cause unrest in the state.
You must know that if people are faced with the situation of starvation, they will not hesitate to come forward and form gangs, either to occupy the mountains and fall into the grass, or to loot the government and rise up.
So what Mu Yi is most worried about now is whether he can grab the materials from Lu Bu.
It is estimated that Mu Yi is really the first person in the world who dares to snatch things from Lu Bu.
After dealing with trivial matters, it was already dusk.
When the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici, who were chasing Zhang Ji, sent people to send news.
After listening to the soldier's report, Mu Yi knew that Zhao Yun and the others were already more than fifty miles away from him at this time.
Due to the long-distance attack, Zhao Yun and the others were already sleepy, so they could only stop the pursuit and repair temporarily.
After listening to the report, Mu Yi handed over all the people to Gao Shun, and he took more than 1,000 horsemen to chase Zhao Yun and others with the Zou family in the starry night.
Mu Yi and Zou sat in the carriage and walked with the army, mainly to prevent Zou from committing suicide, so that he would have no bargaining chips to blackmail Zhang Ji.
Stretching out his hand to pick up the curtains, Mu Yi said to Yunzhongyan: "You take a few people to rush to Bingzhou, tell Fengxiao about the current situation, and let Fengxiao lead the army to Yuncheng to respond, and prevent Tongguan soldiers and horses from supporting Lu Bu and others!" By the way, you must tell Feng Xiao that the Flying Bear Army is in the Lu Bu Army. ”
"Whoa!"
For Guo Jia, Mu Yina is very trusting, with Guo Jia's wisdom, once he understands the situation here, he will definitely make a series of strategic decisions.
Mu Yi looked at the map carefully, and according to the time calculation, it was estimated that Lu Bu's army at this time had crossed the Yellow River. If you catch up now, I'm afraid that by the time you catch up with Lu Bu, you will already be close to the Tongguan area.
Now Mu Yi is with nearly a million people, as long as the people are allowed to enter Yuncheng, there is no need to worry about the Xiliang soldiers fighting back!
The carriage was galloping on the official road, and Zou, who had never spoken, said: "Mu Xiangguo is so starry and nightly, is he planning to chase Lu Bu?" Mu Xiangguo took the slave family to hurry, is he going to use the slave family to blackmail the husband? ”
Mu Yi stared at Zou with interest, up and down several times, until Zou's face was slightly red, then he said, "Not bad!" Lu Bu escorted a large amount of grain, grass and wealth, these things were snatched from the hands of the people of Luoyang, and what was even more hateful was that Dong Zhuo also dug up the imperial tomb, if he didn't snatch some back from him, how could he be worthy of the millions of people in Luoyang? ”
Zou smiled noncommittally and said, "Mu Xiangguo wants to use the slave family to blackmail his husband, I'm afraid it's a wrong idea." What kind of character is the husband, how can the slave family not know? In order to appease Dong Zhuo, he actually gave the slave family to Dong Zhuo, if it weren't for the slave family's oath to obey, and Dong Zhuo in order to maintain the relationship between him and the generals, Mu Xiangguo would not have caught the slave family today! Therefore, if Mu Xiangguo wants to use the slave family to blackmail his husband, he will definitely not succeed. Also, Lu Bu led the "Flying Bear Army", although Mu Xiangguo is brave and good at fighting, but once Fujun and Lu Bu converge, does Mu Xiangguo think he can win? ”
"Flying Bears?" Mu Yi frowned and pondered.
The Flying Bear Army is Dong Zhuo's private soldier and the most elite unit in the Xiliang Army. If Lu Bu adds the Flying Bear Army, it will really be a bit tricky!
But think about it, there are so many treasures that need to be escorted, how could Dong Zhuo not send the most elite troops?
Dozens of miles away, under the rapid march of the cavalry, they caught up with Zhao Yun and others in the middle of the night.
Since Zhao Yun and the others were chasing Zhang Ji, they did not carry food and tents. The army could only kill the wounded horses and let the soldiers eat horse meat to satisfy their hunger.
Without building a camp or a fence to block horses, Zhao Yun and others chose a hill to station.
In the middle of the night, the sound of Mu Yi and the others' horses' hooves attracted the attention of the dark whistle. When he saw that the person who came was Mu Yi, he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and directly took Mu Yi to the place where Zhao Yun and the others were resting.
People eat horses and feed them, Mu Yi did not discuss the military situation with Zhao Yun and others in the middle of the night, but ordered everyone to have a good rest.
The morning sun is rising, and a light mist drifts through the mountains and forests in the early morning.
On the hillside, all the soldiers began to make a fire and roast meat. At this time, Mu Yi also called Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Xu Rong together to discuss the next matters.
Xu Rong came with Mu Yi, so he would appear here at this time.
Everyone gathered around a big bluestone, and Mu Yi held a wooden stick in his hand and pointed to the map spread on the bluestone and said: "General Gao Shun led 30,000 infantry to be responsible for millions of people, so only the 20,000 cavalry in front of him can charge into battle at present. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Yi pointed to the Beibi and the Yellow River marked on the map with a wooden stick: "According to the time estimate, Lu Bu may have crossed the Yellow River at this time, so he must rush to the edge of the Yellow River today no matter what." ”
Speaking of this, Mu Yi paused, and his eyes swept over the people present: "Lu Bu led 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 auxiliaries, and among the 20,000 cavalry, Dong Zhuo's most elite "Flying Bear Army", Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew have also taken away 10,000 cavalry, if the two of them converge, the enemy we face will be 30,000 cavalry, 10,000 auxiliaries, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is very likely that we will face a bloody battle next." ”
Xu Rong nodded and said, "Yes!" The current situation is not optimistic, and we still have to protect the people, once the war with Lu Bu starts, the Xiliang soldiers may send reinforcements at any time, and we are likely to fall into a place of no return, and it is not impossible for the whole army to be destroyed! ”
Mu Yi nodded approvingly: "Tell me, what should we do later?" ”
Zhao Yun and the others knew that Mu Yi asked like this, which meant that he had already made plans, so they all remained silent.
Xu Rong had just taken refuge in Mu Yi, he didn't know what Mu Yi was thinking, and he also wanted to show it in front of Mu Yi.
At that moment, Xu Rong thought about it a little and said: "The princes of the eighteen towns have no troops, if Xiangguo chases Lu Bu, it is very likely that he will fall into a heavy siege, according to the opinion of the general, Xiangguo might as well take the people back to the state, it is really not a wise move to pursue at this time!" ”
Mu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is a shortage of grain and grass in the state, and the current tax revenue can only be the same as the expenses at most, or even slightly insufficient, if we bring back millions of people like this, without others attacking, first of all, we will be in chaos internally, if we want to bring these millions of people back, the first thing to solve is the problem of their rations." ”
Hearing this, Xu Rong also frowned, if there is no grain and grass, the army mutinies, and the people rebel, it will become commonplace! If it weren't for the fact that people in the world couldn't eat enough, how could there be the Yellow Turban Rebellion? How can you let the wolf smoke spread everywhere in the world?
Thinking of this, Xu Rong arched his hand and said: "Lord Xiangguo, the last general thinks that it is better for us to give up the old, weak, sick and disabled among the people, take those young and strong people into account, and then transfer all the 30,000 infantry under the command of General Gao, and catch up with Lu Bu by surprise with the advantage of numbers, grab as many supplies as you can, and retreat directly after you succeed!" Even if the Xiliang soldiers wanted to support at that time, we would have gone far by the time the reinforcements arrived. ”
After hearing this, Mu Yi shook his head again and again and said, "No! If we give up the old, weak, women and children among the people, then they will face only one way to die, and then those young people who are forcibly incorporated will not sincerely help us fight. ”
Hearing this, in the face of this dilemma, everyone fell silent. Take a hundred plating on the latest chapter of "Three Kingdoms and One Little Soldier Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
