Chapter 222: Zhang Lucha Grain
"His grandmother's, these useless wastes still know how to come, see that Lao Tzu doesn't cut them alive!" Zhang Lu's impulsive general pulled out his knife and prepared to go out to repair these Yizhou soldiers who were transporting grain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, it's no wonder that these generals are so angry, you must know that in stalemate battles, it is often not the strength and weapons of the soldiers that are fighting, but the attrition! Whoever can keep up with the logistics will not lose their morale, and the chance of winning will naturally be greater!
You don't see that the most important battle of Changping in the world of Qin Ding is the same, Qin and Zhao have been in a stalemate in the land of Changping for three years, you must know that the combined strength of the two sides in the land of Changping has exceeded one million, and the Zhao State, which has almost undergone the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery, dragged the strong Qin who had undergone the Shang Dynasty reform for nearly a hundred years to death in Changping!
If it weren't for King Zhao's change of generals, and the appointment of Zhao Kuo, who could only talk on paper, as a general, how could Qin really determine the world in the Battle of Changping?
Now the situation of Nan Zheng, Sun Yang and Zhang Lu is very different from the two kingdoms of Qin and Zhao who fought against Changping, whether it is the size of the personnel and the determination of the general trend of the world, but this is not a battle that no one can lose? Zhang Lu needed a place to spread his teachings, and Sun Yang was even more reluctant to give up this place where the strategy was so important!
"Slow, reckless!"
Zhang Lu scolded the general who drew his sword and threatened to teach a lesson to the Yizhou army that sent grain, slowly stood up, and waved his big hand: "All the generals will go with me to see him!" ”
The clay figures have three points of fire, not to mention that Zhang Lu is a general with tens of thousands of heavy soldiers! In the past two months, he has endured it for a long time, he has always thought that it is just Liu Zhang who wants to stumble on him and retaliate against him, but in such a tense situation, Liu Zhang is still doing such a thing, Zhang Lu knows that Liu Zhang must be reminded!
Out of the commander's tent, Zhang Lu took the generals to the rear to unload the grain, he already had a strategy, which could not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also not offend Zhang Lu's strategy too much. Zhang Lu knows that no matter what, he and Liu Zhang are still grasshoppers on the same rope, and he, Zhang Lu, is still nominally grabbing land for him Liu Zhang!
Zhang Lu regards Liu Zhang as an ally, but Liu Zhang is very different, in his heart, Zhang Lu is just a dog in their Yizhou, a dog of their Liu family, the dog wants to bite the owner, will the owner accommodate it? If you want to blame Zhang Lu, he still overestimates Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang has such a sense of smell, he will not guard this great land of Yizhou and be indifferent in the face of the general trend of the world!
"Brothers, don't you see that these starving ghosts are waiting for our food? Ha ha! The petty officer in charge of unloading the grain said to the soldiers who were unloading the grain, but his eyes were skimmed to the soldiers of Zhang Lu who were looking at the grain with green eyes next to him.
What a group of starving ghosts who will only consume their Yizhou food! The petty official thought disdainfully in his heart, it has been so long, tens of thousands of horses can't even take a small man, and he wasted so much grain and grass that originally belonged to Yizhou......
Hearing the ridicule of this petty official, these soldiers showed anger on their faces, and what they thought in their hearts was that Lao Tzu was desperately working on the front line, and now he can't even eat enough, and I am afraid that there are more complaints in their hearts. But that's all, they were ordered by their superiors not to clash with the people who carried the grain, and although they were full of anger, they could only hear the buzzing of flies.
In fact, it is not surprising that these soldiers will be like this, in the past, when the grain was delivered on time, although they could not say that they could eat a full meal, but at least the allocated grain could be at least eight points full, since the delay in food for no reason, in order to save grain and grass, they can now only eat half full at most.
For these bitter soldiers who joined the army just to survive and eat, how much food they can eat a day is what they care about the most! The rest of the meritorious service on the battlefield, promotion and wealth are just unattainable ideas for them, and these things can only be done by those who have good backgrounds and are in place.
"General Zhang, why are you here in person?" Seeing Zhang Lu and the others approaching the place where the grain was unloaded, the number two person of the grain transportation team who supervised there, that is, Lao Wu's opponent, the general of the local powerful clan in Yizhou, trotted in front of Zhang Lu and said.
Zhang Lu didn't pay too much attention to this set of close people, but nodded and went straight to the place where the grain was unloaded, he not only wanted to teach these people a lesson today, but also to find a suitable reason, just the delay in the delivery of grain was not enough, but also needed a reason to make Liu Zhang even more speechless.
Looking at Zhang Lu who was brushing his sleeves away, the general surnamed Wang touched his nose, very puzzled, Zhang Lu was not like this in the past, he had to call himself Brother Wang when he saw him, how could he be so strange today? Thinking about it, the general surnamed Wang still followed behind Zhang Lu.
"Where is the little man who counts the amount of grain and grass?" After cutting a bag of grain with a knife and finding that it was not bad grain, Zhang Lu also let go of his heart, what he was most afraid of was that Liu Zhang used those old grains and bad grains to deal with him, which really meant that Liu Zhang had given up on them. But judging from the current situation, there is still room between him and Liu Zhang.
"General, the little one is here!" A man dressed as a servant trotted over and saluted.
"Can the grain and grass be counted this time? How many? Zhang Lu asked quietly, he knew very well that there was a lot of greasy in this, every time he counted the grain and grass, there was always a big gap between the grain transported here and the original amount, but for the sake of the overall situation, he used to just open one eye and close one eye, after all, they were not too much.
As for who they are referring to, Zhang Lu knows very well in his heart that at this time, no one is not greedy.
"Report to the general, the grain and grass have been counted, and there are 5,321 bags in total." The little official looked up and said, "General, each bag is enough." The little official added.
"Five thousand three hundred and twenty-one bags? Are you sure? How does General Ben remember that this time it should be 5,821 bags? Didn't Ermo deliberately deceive Ben? Where are the other 500 sacks of grain and grass? Zhang Lu sneered a few times and said, as he expected, this time these people still embezzled five hundred bags of grain and grass, this time, he will no longer pretend not to know!
Hearing Zhang Lu's words, and seeing the expression on Zhang Lu's face at the moment, the general surnamed Wang chuckled in his heart, there was no one who knew better than him where the five hundred bags of grain and grass went, and the cold sweat on his forehead also fell unconsciously, he knew that this was the unspoken rule of this industry, and he believed that Zhang Lu should also understand, but looking at him like this, it seemed that he wanted to investigate deeply, and the general surnamed Wang was a little scared. Zhang Lu's notoriety is very clear to him.
