"Woo! Woo! Gao Ran also understood, knowing that he was at a loss. Wait a minute! This hand! As soon as he pulled away his hand that was stained with horse manure, he began to vomit: "Vomit-"

"Nothing, huh?" Yu Yigen was very strange, when he was a horse bandit, he touched more horse manure, raised it and licked it: "It tastes very fragrant!" ”

"Gross-" Lei Gong saw the farce of the two of them completely, and was still laughing, but when he saw Yu Yigen actually stretched out his tongue and licked it again, he couldn't help it, and opened his big mouth and spit it out. It's one thing to eat yourself, it's another to watch others eat!

Ignoring this group of people, Zhang Yan waved her hand at Yan Zhanshu, and then kicked the flagpole next to her fiercely, kicking the flagpole in two on the spot, her eyes swept over the lower bodies of several rough men, and suddenly made them understand something, clamped their legs, and didn't dare to squeak anymore! Gray to keep up with Yan Zhanshu and set out on the expedition! Liao Hua looked at their distant figures, and suddenly felt a little chill on his body, thinking about it carefully, just now, a few guys, except for himself, seemed to have followed the big handsome, didn't it mean that he had to face Zhang Shuai who was in a bad mood alone? Looking at the sky, Liao Hua felt that life was so gloomy!

When the war horse was galloping, Yu Yigen came over and asked, "Dashuai, where are we going when we come out like this?" Go directly to Quyang? ”

"No, let's go to Changshan! This place is located in the middle of Yecheng and Xiaquyang, as long as the grain is transported, it will inevitably pass through here, then we can attack! Ignoring the severe pain in his whole body by diverting his attention, Yan Zhanshu carefully explained to Yu Yigen and Lei Gong and Gao Ran on the side: "If something happens to the grain transportation team in this place, whether it is Yecheng or Zhu Jun in Xiaquyang, they have no way to react immediately, and when they find out that something is wrong, it means that there is not enough food!" ”

"That's a good idea!" Yu Yigen praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Gao Ran, you know the way to Changshan, right?" Lei Gong asked.

"Of course, it is clear that the direction of Changshan is the direction of this east road diagonally to the left, and it can be reached in just one day." Gao Ran doesn't have any other thoughts now, Yan Zhanshu doesn't seem to have any discrimination against himself, and he often explains some of the art of war, as for separating himself from Han Dang, if he is a commander, he will treat the general like this.

If the marshal didn't even have this precautionary mentality, he would have been cut off his head for military merit a long time ago - no matter how serious the crime of himself and Gao Ran is, Yan Zhanshu's head will be enough to compensate! It is impossible for such a person to achieve great things, and it is not enough for himself and Han Dang to give up their family prestige to follow!

"Speed up, strive to rush to Changshan in the afternoon, check the intelligence of the grain transport team, bad luck, if the grain transport team has just passed, we may have to stay in Changshan for a few days!" Yan Zhanshu found the letter of Huangfu Song's Zuo Zhonglang general, shook his head, and didn't know if he could deceive the county guard of Changshan.

Outside the city of Xiaquyang, the Han army camp. The tent of the Chinese army in the camp was lit by the candles on both sides at the moment. With a clear appearance, long black hair pulled up with a hosta, and a brocade robe, Yan Zhonggao, who was full of tiredness, sat on the general seat in the tent, frowning to check the accounts of the grain and grass consumption in the Japanese army in the past few days.

As the envoy sent by Huangfu Song to coordinate with Zhu Jun, Yan Zhong survived the day when Guangzong broke the city and Huangfu Song was beheaded, and then because of his talent, he was greatly appreciated by Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, and assisted Zhu Jun in charge of the heavy military affairs of the 30,000 elite northern army!

After being in charge of military affairs for nearly a month, Yan Zhong finally realized what Sun Tzu said: "All the methods of using soldiers, galloping thousands of cars, leathering thousands of cars, carrying 100,000 armor, and feeding grain for thousands of miles." Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of the armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then the 100,000 teachers are "difficult."

Since the troops went down to Quyang, the military affairs of armor repair, labor conscription, and grain and grass transportation have made Yan Zhong's originally black and shiny hair boring. On the surface, as Zhu Jun's senior adjutant officer, he was entrusted with an important task to be in charge of the affairs of the whole army, which cannot but be regarded as a high authority. But in fact, Yan Zhong clearly knew that he had become a traitorous villain in the mouth of the people of Jizhou, whether it was a family or a strong man, he was gnashing his teeth at himself, and he couldn't wait to eat himself alive, but because Zhang Bao in Xia Quyang was still there, he barely suppressed their anger.

You must know that since Zhu Jun took office, he has been planning to attack Zhang Bao's Xiaquyang. But when you use soldiers, you need money, food, horses, and armor.

The counties in the east were sacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and the counties in the west under the control of the imperial court also suffered from war. In the face of the situation of displaced people everywhere in Jizhou after the war, this large amount of military expenditure naturally cannot be fully spread on the heads of ordinary people, not to mention that they have no money. In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has continued to have natural disasters, locust plagues and plagues have come and gone, and there has been no surplus food in the hands of civilians for a long time!

So Zhu Jun can only hit the idea on the big families in the state, but unfortunately although the right Zhonglang general is a soldier and powerful, he is also an outsider after all, and there is naturally no problem with providing a small amount, the problem is that Zhu Jun has besieged Quyang for three months, and he has spent money and food in vain, but there is no progress at all! In ancient times, it was ten times the siege of the city, and now there are nearly 50,000 yellow scarves in Xiaquyang City, and Zhu Jun can besiege them, and he has done his best!

Although Yan Zhong was born in a poor family and has been a minor official for many years, he has also honed his talents and is adept at political affairs. Therefore, as soon as Zhu Jun discovered his talent, he immediately entrusted him with important tasks and promoted one after another, until he became the commander of the army and presided over military affairs. Even in private, Zhu Jun took out a secret recipe for refining and handed it over to Yan Zhong to practice, although it is rumored that cultivating this kind of recipe will lead to an eternal lifespan, but for Yan Zhong, who has only obtained the cultivation recipe after he is too old, this is already an incomparably precious treasure - in Liangzhou, his early forties are already half cut into the ground, where can he worry about the number of lifespans?!

And Yan Zhong did not live up to Zhu Jun's high hopes, with the attitude of "the soldier dies for the confidant", since he served as the chief historian, Yan Zhong helped Zhu Jun secretly suppress Haoqiang in political affairs, verified the population and property hidden by the big clan, doubled the collection of Haoqiang's taxes, and forcibly transferred elite soldiers and horses from various counties and counties in military affairs to supplement his own war losses.

It's a pity that although Yan Zhong is also a capable official, he has little experience in military affairs. In the face of these elite people who were transferred from the six counties of Jizhou, apart from promoting a group of lower-level military officials in personnel to win the hearts of the people, there was very little else that could be done.

In the previous battle of Guangping, Yuan Shao defeated this soldier and horse cleanly, Yan Zhong got the news, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, Yuan Shao's family background was there, there would be no problem, then as the one who approved Yuan Shao's additional troops, he would inevitably become the object of the black cauldron!

For the sake of his benevolent father-in-law Zhu Jun, Yan Zhong did not have much resentment about this black cauldron, but the cycle of this recent grain transportation team is getting longer and longer - these families in Jizhou are really too blatant, before they were only short of food, saying that it was a loss of the road, but now they simply say that the road is not quiet. ——Now in Zhu Jun's camp, the main battle of the Northern Army can barely be satisfied, but the daily drills have basically stopped, so as not to consume more food. Those people can only eat porridge a day at most, and if they really want to fight, I'm afraid it won't be useful!

It's been four days since the last food delivery, so it's supposed to be coming, right? Thinking that the food stock in the camp was about to run out, Yan Zhong couldn't sit still any longer, and came to the gate of the camp, looking at the road to the west, hoping to see the team carrying the grain.

The winding and circling Changshan, like a long dragon, lies prone on the land of Jizhou, and a road of three people walking together appears and disappears in the mountains. On the road, a convoy was sparsely pulled, walking unhurriedly, led by a bearded and strong man, who turned around and shouted a few times from time to time, but there was not much anger at the behavior of these coachmen's grinding foreign workers - after several escorts, Yan Liang was also impatient with the northern army that sent food to Zhu Jun, and the 30,000 elite northern army had not made the slightest progress in besieging the city for three months.
