Chapter 261: Civil Strife (1)

In April of the second year of the emperor's reign, with the arrival of 400,000 reinforcements led by the Qin general Meng Fu, the situation in the entire Shu region became tense again.

In the entire Shu region, plus the original more than 300,000 Qin troops under Wang Qian, the Qin army gathered in the entire Shu region has reached nearly 800,000.

After joining Wang Jian in Miancheng, Meng Fu did not stay in Miancheng for long, and then led 200,000 Qin troops to Bazhou, where he would be responsible for fending off the Wu Han army that could invade Chongzhou at any time.

In Jianzhou, Wang Jian commanded more than 500,000 Qin troops, ready to attack the Three Kingdoms army at any time.

In the face of the aggressive Qin army, the 500,000 allied troops of the Later Qin, Shu Han, and Later Shu countries did not dare to stop its edge, and hundreds of thousands of troops retreated 30 miles back to camp.

"Drink!"

"Shoot strongly!"

In the Shu Han army camp 30 miles away from Miancheng, the continuous sound of drills continued to sound, and a general with high cheekbones was loudly guiding the soldiers below on the general platform.

This is the camp where the 200,000 Shu Han troops are located, and it is the Shu general Wei Yan who is training new soldiers at this time.

Since the beginning of the invasion of the Qin army in the third year of the Great War, the armies of the Later Qin, Shu Han and Later Shu have been at war with the Qin army in Jianzhou for a year and a half, and the three kingdom armies have suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of the Qin army, and now almost half of the 500,000 allied troops stationed here are new recruits.

The front camp of the Nanyi Army, which crossed the training of the new army, was the camp of the Chinese army where Liu Bei, the king of Shu, was the leading general.

At this time, in the tent, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were gathering in the camp.

"Big brother, after yesterday, Qin Yao Chang sent someone to urge him to ask for grain and grass, and it was less than half a month before 100,000 stones of grain and grass were given to them, and they were beaten out by me!"

Zhang Fei, a sturdy swallow with leopard eyes and a strong body, sat on the lower seat on the right side and scolded with a non-angry face, and his voice was as loud as thunder.

"Third brother, why are you so reckless, now the attack of the Qin army is imminent, this critical moment should be the time for our three kingdoms to work together to resist the enemy, how can you harm Yao Chang for this little thing and affect the overall situation"

Liu Bei, who was already worried on the main seat, turned even more pale when he heard this, looked at Zhang Fei and scolded.

Among the three kingdoms of Later Qin, Shu Han, and Later Shu, Liu Bei of Shu was originally the strongest, Later Qin was slightly weaker, and Later Shu was the second.

However, after a year and a half of frenzied and protracted wars, the strongest Bai Yu elite soldiers in Shu were almost lost, and more than half of the elites of each department were also consumed, and the combat power of the Shu army was not as good as before.

However, the strength of the Later Qin army, which was dominated by Qiang cavalry, was the most intact and has now become the main force of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

In the three years of the Great War, with the continuous progress of the war, the potential of the Three Kingdoms has been exhausted, and various domestic contradictions have occurred frequently, especially after the Later Qin, which was dominated by the Qiang aristocracy, fell into a serious food crisis after a large number of Han serfs were consumed.

Jianzhou was the main battlefield of the war, and Shu also undertook the task of supplying most of the food for the Later Qin army and the Later Shu army.

The Houshu army, which was dominated by infantry, was okay, but the cavalry-based Houqin was a man who ate horses, consumed a lot of food, and had always been arrogant and arrogant, which had already aroused the displeasure of the generals and men of the Shu Han army.

"100,000 stones of grain and grass are enough for our army for more than a month, but they came again in less than half a month, obviously deceiving me Shu Han no one, fortunately, the prime minister can continue to get food and ordnance in China, otherwise according to their consumption, they will collapse early without the Qin army to fight!"

In the face of Liu Bei's scolding, Zhang Fei still muttered unconvinced.

However, as soon as the words came out, Zhang Fei also felt that something was wrong, and after listening to his words, Liu Bei, who had an ugly expression, turned a little more gloomy.

"Third brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, the reason why Sima Yu of Huaguo is willing to support us like this is not because he wants to rely on us to resist the Qin army, how difficult it is for the eldest brother to maintain the Three Kingdoms Alliance until now!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu stroked his beard with his hands, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted coldly.

Among the three brothers, Zhang Fei has always been reckless, and only Guan Yu can best understand Liu Bei's thoughts.

Liu Bei's jealousy of Zhuge Liang in his heart has never disappeared!

The two monarchs and ministers, who originally created a good story in history, met at the wrong time because of the special nature of this world, and formed a completely different ending.

"Let's go, third brother, you go with me to the Houqin military camp and accompany them!"

After all, Liu Bei is also a generation of heroes, so he quickly adjusted his emotions, stood up and said to Zhang Fei.

"Oh!"

was scolded by Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who knew that he had made a mistake, also obediently agreed.

Soon, the three brothers led people to the camp of the Hou Qin army.

The camp of the Later Qin army, the tent of the Chinese military camp where the Later Qin Emperor Yao Chang was located, Yao Chang, Yao Xing, Yao Chong, father and son gathered in the camp.

"Father, General Chen Shaozong, who went to the Shu army camp to ask for food, was almost crippled by Zhang Fei, and he didn't get a single piece of food," Yao Chong said to Yao Chang with a gloomy face.

In the entire Later Qin army, almost all the Qiang cavalry were in the hands of the father and son, Yao Xing and Yao Chong, as Yao Chang's sisters-in-law, each of whom had tens of thousands of troops under his command, and Chen Shaozong was an important general under Yao Chong.

"You don't know Zhang Fei's temper, you still sent Shaozong to go, naturally it is easy to lead to conflict!"

Yao Chang's face was also ugly when he heard this, and he looked at Yao Chongyu and said with reprimand.

Chen Shaozong is a general under Yao Chong, although he has a strong ability to lead the army, but his temper is also a well-known rush in the Later Qin army, so he and Zhang Fei are naturally very prone to accidents when they meet each other.

"Father, the sons and daughters are also afraid that other people will not come to the grain, so they sent Shaozong to go, but I don't want that Zhang Heizi's strength to be so strong, and Shaozong can't make a few moves under his hands!" Yao Chong hated Zhang Fei in his heart, and explained to Yao Chang through gritted teeth.

"Ziluo, how are our food reserves?"

Yao Chang was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at Yao Xingdao.

Yao Xing, as the eldest son of Yao Chang, has quite good talents, and he is also very popular in the army, not only controlling the 40,000 troops under his command, but also taking charge of the grain and grass supply of the Later Qin army, which can be regarded as the successor of the Later Qin.

"Back to my father, we have secretly stored 200,000 stones of grain and grass in the past few months, which is enough for the army to consume more than two months!" Yao Xing respectfully reported to Yao Chang.

"Two hundred thousand stones? It seems that Huaguo's support for Liu Bei is really sparing no effort! Since we can't get food and grass from Liu Bei, let the brothers below endure for two days for the time being, and don't let this matter affect our plans! ”

A trace of extreme greed flashed in Yao Chang's eyes, and he raised his head and admonished the two brothers below.

"Yes!"

Yao Xing and the two respectfully accepted the order.

"Report! Your Majesty, Liu Bei, the King of Shu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are asking to see each other outside the camp! ”

Just as the three of them finished their discussion, a herald hurriedly came to the tent and reported to Yao Chang.

"Oh? How many of them are there? ”

The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and Yao Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Liu Bei is the lord of Shu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also the generals of the Shu army, and when they came to the Hou Qin army at such a critical moment, the nerves of the three of them were tense.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are only a few hundred guards!"

"Zixing, you immediately go and select hundreds of elites to ambush on both sides of the camp, and Ziluo will go with me to meet our alliance leader!"

Hearing that Liu Bei and the three of them only came with hundreds of personal soldiers, Yao Chang's breathing couldn't help but become short, and then quickly greeted Yao Xing and Yao Chong.

This is a godsend, and I can't let it go!

"Whoa!"

The brothers Yao Xing and Yao Chong also left with joy on their faces.
