The grain transport officer couldn't help but say in frustration: "Your Majesty, it's not that the lower officials don't want to transport so much grain over, but in fact, there is not much grain in Zhuti County. The only remaining ones have been transported by the lower officials. Even if the lower officials wanted to transport more, there was no surplus grain in Zhuti County. ”

Hearing the words of the grain transport officer, Lu Bu was taken aback and asked, "How can this be?" Didn't I ask them to bring enough food? How could there be no food in Juti County? ”

The grain transport officer said bitterly: "Emperor Qiqi, the Zhuti County side has also encountered the same problem as Yueshan County. Although the other side is already vigilant, it may be difficult to raise food in a short period of time. ”

Hearing this news, Lu Bu couldn't help but gasp, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Shu Han not only bought a large amount of grain in Yueshan County, but even Zhuti County, they were doing the same thing, what did they want to do?

Now that the house is leaking and raining overnight, it has encountered heavy snow that has not been seen in a century, and it will become more difficult to transport food over.

In case there is not enough food, hiss!

Lu Bu couldn't help but gasp.

"Immediately order, order the soldiers to clear the road with all their might, ensure that the grain road is unblocked, and the grain must be transported in time."

If the grain cannot be delivered in time, something big will happen, and the consequences will be difficult to predict.

Next, Lu Bu found the army logistics officer and asked him: "How much food is there in the army now?" How long can a soldier consume it? ”

The logistics officer couldn't help but reply: "Your Majesty, the food in the army now can last for half a month at most." Half a month later, I'm afraid it's-"

What the? The surplus food is only enough to support half a month?

Lu Bu's face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help but say, "Okay, I know, you go down." By the way, the matter of grain is strictly confidential and must not be revealed. ”

The logistics officer nodded and said, "Yes, Weichen obeys." ”

After the logistics officer went down, Lu Bu ordered someone to call Qian Ying, the county guard of Yueshan County.

"Lord Qian, how much surplus grain is there in Yueshan County now? How long can people eat? ”

Qian Ying couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Emperor Qiqi, the surplus grain in Yueshan County is not much now. Weichen estimates that he can hold out for twenty days at most, not more. ”

You can only last twenty days, right?

After hearing the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but gasp again.

At present, 25,000 soldiers are stationed in Yueshan County, and the total population of Yueshan County is about 60,000.

Twenty days is a lot of time!

Within twenty days, food must be brought in, otherwise the soldiers and the people will starve!

……

In the evening, another piece of bad news came.

The road to transport grain had to be carried through a mountain pass, and a mountain collapsed, completely blocking the road.

And now it is snowing heavily, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a month to clear a passable road.

Hearing this, Lu Bu's face became even more solemn.

Suddenly, Lu Bu thought of a question, and couldn't help but sigh: "This must be Zhuge Demon making trouble!" ”

Jia Xu, who was beside Lu Bu, asked in shock: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Shu Han?" But how is this possible? ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "As early as when we attacked Nanzhong, Shu Han took the initiative to ask for peace and was willing to cede Nanzhong, I felt that there was something in it. If I guessed correctly, from that time on, Zhuge Demon Man has been laying out. ”

"He left enough people to make arrangements on the mountain roads. When the university comes, he can order the mountain road to collapse and block the road to the grain transport. ”

Before that, he had already purchased all the grain from several counties in advance. Now that the grain road is blocked, there is no food, and it is difficult for us to survive this winter. ”

After listening to Lu Bu's analysis, Jia Xu couldn't help but smack his tongue and said: "Your Majesty, although Zhuge Liang is resourceful, he is a human being after all, not a god. How could he have calculated so far in advance that it would snow so heavily this winter? How can he calculate that the emperor will come to Yuejun? If he can calculate so accurately, then he will really become an immortal! ”

Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "This year is the year of the Twelve Dragons to control the water, maybe he has other means to predict that there will be heavy snow this winter!" Moreover, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. ”

"He may not have been able to predict that there will be such a heavy snow this winter, but as long as there is this possibility, he will make preparations and will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"After all, even if they fail, there's nothing to lose for them. If they succeed, they have a great chance that they will be able to retake Nanzhong after the snow melts. ”

"As for me appearing in Yueshan County, he certainly couldn't have counted it at the time. But his original purpose was not to calculate me. My arrival was nothing more than a surprise for them. ”

After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, Jia Xu reluctantly accepted it.

However, in my heart, I refreshed my cognition of Zhuge Liang.

No wonder the main guild called him Zhuge Demon, his performance was indeed demonic enough.

Jia Xu couldn't help frowning and said, "If this is really something that Zhuge Liang has calculated a long time ago, then he will definitely not just block this road." ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "Zhuge Liang acts, is meticulous and thoughtful, and will definitely calculate all aspects in place." Therefore, he could not have allowed us to open the way easily, and now he could have ordered all the soldiers to be withdrawn. ”

In Lu Bu's opinion, in the ice and snow, cleaning the road is very inefficient, not to mention, it is also a great drain on the physical strength of the soldiers.

And even if this road is cleared, there will definitely be several roads that need to be cleaned later, and it will be too late in time.

Rather than allowing the soldiers to consume a huge amount of physical strength to do useless work, it is better to simply withdraw the people.

Jia Xu couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Your Majesty, but in this case, didn't we give up the only opportunity?" ”

Lu Bu pondered: "Let's think of other ways, there will always be a way." ”

Jia Xu nodded, went down and gave the order to all the soldiers to withdraw.

……

At dinner that night, the eunuch who followed Lu Bu passed the dishes to Lu Bu, and there were sixteen exquisite dishes.

This is also because many fresh seasonal vegetables are difficult to get hold of in winter.

"Your Majesty, please eat!"

When Lu Bu saw so many exquisite dishes, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he instructed the eunuch: "Little Guizi, pass the order, from tomorrow onwards, my diet will be the same as that of ordinary soldiers, and I am not allowed to be special!" ”
