Chapter 36 Military Rations
Lu Meng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Shiren, I am relieved of your public security city, but Jiangling City is a big problem, Mi Fang has followed Liu Bei for many years, and he is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, do you have any good ideas to capture Jiangling?" ”
Fu Shiren smiled slightly: "General Lu, don't worry, I have already arranged Jiangling, even if Mi Fang doesn't want to surrender, I can force him to surrender!" ”
"Really, are you sure about this?"
"General Lu doesn't know, I have this Mi Fang's handle in my hand, Mi Fang has been selling military rations without Guan Yu for many years, and I have made a lot of money from it. Originally, we all thought that Jingzhou was the land of four wars, and Guan Yu's troops were too small to attack Cao Cao at all, so he secretly sold a lot of military rations. However, I didn't expect Guan Yu to really attack Cao Cao, and also destroyed Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, and now he has even killed under Fancheng City. This Guan Yu sent people to urge grain every day, if it was still possible to receive help before, now Jingzhou grain and grass have been secretly sold by Mi Fang, which is not enough to supply Guan Yu's army! Now Mi Fang is worried about this matter, so we can take advantage of this to force Mi Fang down! Fu Shiren said.
"Hehehehe...... God help me! Ahem......" Lu Meng laughed happily and coughed violently.
"General Lu, your body ......"
"It's okay, it's just that I've been chilling lately!" Lu Meng smiled helplessly, it seemed that his time was really running out.
……
White Emperor City.
The White Emperor City is built by Gongsun Shu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the east is based on Kuimen, surrounded by water on three sides, and it is a place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight. In the Three Kingdoms era, Liu Beiyiling was defeated, and it was in this White Emperor City that a good scene was staged.
As a strategic location on the Yangtze River, the White Emperor City has always been heavily guarded. However, since Liu Bei entered Shu, Jingzhou and Yizhou have been connected, and the White Emperor City, which was originally located at the junction of Jingzhou and Yizhou, has become a city inside Liu Bei's territory, and the White Emperor City is surrounded by Liu Bei's own territory, so today's White Emperor City is not as important as when the warlords were divided, and the male soldiers originally stationed in the White Emperor City have also been withdrawn a lot.
However, the geographical location of the White Emperor City is superior, especially the fact that it is surrounded by water on three sides, making the White Emperor City a transportation artery connecting Jingshu.
After several days of hurrying, even Adou felt a little tired, there was Yiling in front of him, and Jingzhou was close in front of him, so Adou decided to go into the city to find a place to rest, and by the way, he inquired about the news of Jingzhou.
Adou walked into the White Emperor City and found that the city was calm, and there was no atmosphere of war at all. Adou casually found a restaurant with a relatively large and small flow of people, ordered some dishes, and then began to listen carefully to the conversation between the merchants in the restaurant.
"Hey, I heard that General Guan has hit Fancheng!" Said a footman.
"You are all old Huang Li, as far as I know, Fancheng is about to be defeated! I heard that Cao Ren was about to abandon the city and flee! Another businessman interjected.
"Yes, General Guan is brave, who in the world can compare to General Guan! I think that back then, he beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and killed six generals after five levels, but now let alone a Fancheng, I am not surprised to hit Xu Du! ”
Hearing this, Adou smiled, it seems that even in the Three Kingdoms era, Guan Yu's reputation among the people is still very good, followed by a large number of fans.
"Humph! Hit Xudu? I don't think he can even beat Fancheng! At this moment, a discordant voice came.
Adou peeked in the direction of the sound and saw a skinny pedestrian.
As soon as the thin businessman spoke, a large number of people surrounded him, and one of them said, "Song Er, have you gotten any news!" ”
"Yes, you are our news king, if you have any news, tell us about it!"
The second Song took a sip of tea, looked like he didn't want to answer, and then put on a score with great effort, and then said: "If you want to know, then I'll tell you a little!" Don't spread the word! ”
"Don't worry, as far as we know, it will never be spread!" Several businessmen nodded and said.
"Good! Then I'll say it! Song Lao Er lowered his head slightly, and said mysteriously: "I know a friend who works as a porter at the Jiangling Guanjia Wharf, and he told me that in the past few years, there has often been grain transported away from the Jiangling Guanjia Wharf, do you know where this grain comes from?" ”
"Where did it come from?"
"Humph! These are Jingzhou's military rations! Song Lao Er said proudly.
"What, military rations? How can it be? Everyone immediately began to talk.
Song Lao Er waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Tell you, I heard that these military rations were sold by the officials of Jingzhou without General Guan, and General Guan didn't know at all!" Now General Guan has sent troops to Fancheng, which looks very mighty, but in fact, there is not much grain in Jingzhou for a long time! Do you think that if the soldiers run out of food, can this Fancheng still be defeated? ”
Adou next to him frowned, if this Song Lao Er said the truth, it would be amazing. Originally, Guan Yu's trip was more auspicious, if the logistics and food couldn't keep up, the consequences would be terrible!
Suddenly, Adou remembered the rebellion of Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, could it be that these two people betrayed because they were afraid of Guan Yu's punishment for stealing and selling military rations? In order to order some food, the whole of Jingzhou was lost, and it was too much!
Finally, a group of foot merchants broke up after chatting, and Adou followed closely behind the second Song child.
Song Lao Er didn't notice that there was a person behind him, and when he reached a secluded place outside the city, Ah Dou rushed up with an arrow and stopped in front of Song Lao Er.
Song Lao Er only felt a flower in front of him, and then a person appeared, his eyes widened in surprise, and after a while, Song Lao Er found that this person was not very old, he looked fifteen or sixteen years old at most, but he had a blade on him!
In this era of war and chaos, there are more robbers on the road, so Song Lao Er immediately reacted, this person is afraid that he is blocking the road and robbing, I really didn't expect that the robbers are so bold now, and he just left the city, so he stopped him.
"This uncle, I'm just a small businessman, I don't have any money, you see what I'm carrying here are also some local dry goods, not worth much!" Song Lao Er opened his mouth and said.
Song Laoer's words embarrassed Adou for a while, with his own style, how can he look like a hero, how can he be misunderstood as a robber!
"I ask you, is what you just said in the restaurant true?"
"What did I say?" At this time, Song Lao Er also saw that this young man didn't seem to be here to rob the road.
"You said that Jingzhou officials sold grain and grass privately, but is it true?"
"This uncle, in fact, I am also hearsay, not necessarily true, but over the years, a lot of grain and grass have often been transported away from Jingzhou Wharf!"
"Do you know who did it?"
"This uncle, such a thing, how can the little one know, the little one is just a footman......" Song Lao Er said, but his eyes kept rolling.
Adou knew that this kid must know something inside, so he deliberately didn't say anything, only to see Adou suddenly draw out his long sword and glared at Song Lao Er viciously.
Song Lao Er was so frightened by Adou, he suddenly became honest, and stammered: "Uncle, don't kill me, I also heard that such a big thing as stealing and selling military rations is used by the wharf of the official family of Jiangling City, it must be the big officials of Jiangling City who can do it, as for who it is, there are so many big officials in Jingzhou, and the small ones really don't know who they are." ”
