"Mutiny? No matter how much he hates you, he can't defect to the enemy? ”

Ding Yuan was stunned, he really couldn't figure it out.

You have a grudge against your boss, but how can you be treasonous? That's going to be scolded by the world pointing at the backbone!

What's more, Ding Yuan has always thought that he is not thin on the soldiers under his command, and he treats almost all the soldiers as his own sons, how can they betray themselves?

This result made Ding Yuan a little unacceptable.

It's like the story of the farmer who saved the snake, and the farmer thought that he had saved the snake, like the snake's reborn parents, and the snake could not hurt him, but the snake still took revenge and bit the farmer to death.

Ding Yuan is not a farmer, but he is in the same mood as the farmer before he died.

"General, our army's food and grass have been cut off, and the soldiers will starve to death just by starving, and if it goes on like this, there is no need for the Huns to fight, this Yanmen will be lost sooner or later!"

Zhang Liao's face was full of gloom, there was no way to fight this battle.

"What can Ben Taishou do about this, the grain and grass in the Yanmen County Treasury have long been exhausted, Ben Taishou has written to the new Bingzhou Pastor Dong Zhuo more than ten times, but Dong Zhuo replied that there is no grain and grass in the Bingzhou Treasury, let me wait to stick to it first, he is raising grain and grass!"

As soon as Ding Yuan heard Zhang Liao talk about grain and grass again, it was called one head and two big, and he had already eaten up the grain and grass in Yanmen, so he asked for it from above, and Dong Zhuo also said that there was no grain and grass.

What can Ding Yuan do, can he really let him set up troops to grab food?

"General, if you want me to see, directly force those powerful families to donate grain and grass, but the family property of those grandchildren is some ill-gotten gains, and if you can't do it, you will rob them!"

Zang Ba looked fierce and vicious, and he didn't see Zhang Liao's dark face on the side at all.

"Now the grain and grass maintained in the army have been raised from those rich and powerful households, and if I ask them to borrow grain again, I'm afraid it will not be good!

Moreover, in recent years, the year of Yanmen has not been good, and this year there is no harvest, even the landlord's family has no surplus grain! ”

Although Zhang Liao was a little dissatisfied with Zang Ba's words, he still patiently explained.

Although Zhang Liao's family is not a big family, it is also a local wealthy family, and his father Zhang Yi is a county magistrate of Mayi. In order to defend the city before, Zhang Yi gathered all the wealthy families in the city, and donated money and grain.

Yanmen is in the land of a hundred battles, fighting all year round, there is no local family, only a strong and wealthy family like the Zhang family, and the Yanmen people are also straightforward and simple, everyone knows that after the city is broken, their lives and family property can not be saved, so everyone is rich to contribute, strong contribution, in order to defend the city that spares no effort.

Zhang Liao had the heart to argue with Zang Ba, but he didn't want to tear his face with Zang Ba at the current time of this kind of great enemy, so he had to endure the dissatisfaction with Zang Ba in his heart.

Zhang Liao knows that a guy like Zang Ba, who is from a poor background and has a criminal record, often has a cynical mentality, and naturally feels that the rich and wealthy are all bullying and good people, and they should be cut with a thousand knives.

"What then? Do you just watch the soldiers starve to death? ”

……

For a moment, there was silence in the room, and all three of them fell silent.

"Why don't we go to that Wang Taishou to borrow food?"

After a long time, Zhang Liao proposed with a wry smile.

"No way, that guy Wang Qiu is even more hateful, how could he lend us food? We don't know what he was up to? ”

Zang Ba was like a lit cannonball, bombing indiscriminately.

Zhang Liao glanced at Zang Ba, shook his head imperceptibly, and said secretly, it seems that abandoning the city and fleeing this time is a big blow to Xuan Gao!

"Just do what Wen Yuan said, otherwise there is no other way!"

Ding Yuan, who had not spoken, spoke, and finally made a decision and came according to what Zhang Liao said.

Zhang Liao was a little stunned, he proposed this idea with the mentality of giving it a try, and he already regretted it as soon as he said it, but he didn't expect Ding Yuan to agree.

"The last general is going to see Wang Taishou!"

Zhang Liao arched his hand at Ding Yuan, and then he wanted to turn around and go out to find the Wang Taishou he said.

"Wen Yuan and Slow!"

But it was Ding Yuan who called Zhang Liao out.

"What else does the general command?"

Although he was puzzled, Zhang Liao still looked back at Ding Yuan.

I saw Ding Yuan get up and walk out from behind the table, and his eight-foot-long burly body compared Zhang Liao and Zang Ba.

Ding Yuan said sharply: "Ben Taishou personally went to find the king ball, and Wen Yuan and Xuan Gao led three thousand elite soldiers to accompany him!" ”

Zhang Liao was even more puzzled, that Wang Taishou, called Wang Qiu, is a son of the Wang family in Shanxi, and the official residence is Taiyuan Taishou.

Even that Wang Qiu simply didn't take Ding Yuan, who was born in poverty, in his eyes, and sneered many times, saying that Ding Yuan was crowned by a monkey.

And Ding Yuan has always been disgusted with Wang Qiu's character, and even presented a recital to the court many times to impeach Wang Qiu.

The two of them can be said to be in a hurry, how could Ding Yuan swallow his anger and go to find the king ball in person?

Different from Zhang Liao's doubts, a fine light flashed in Zang Ba's eyes, and there was even a hint of excitement.

Zhang Liao didn't know Ding Yuan's thoughts, but Zang Ba was clear, Zang Ba had been following Ding Yuan for ten years, so he could naturally figure out Ding Yuan's thoughts.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao and Zang Ba responded at the same time, and went out to dispatch troops and horses with their own thoughts.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Taiyuan Taishou Wang Qiu led the troops to be stationed ten miles southeast of the city of Mayi.

"Lord, according to the report from the spies, Ding Yuan's general Zang Ba lost Wuzhou, and the Huns will soon be under the city of Mayi."

Wang Qiu's big tent in the army, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar reported the latest information to Wang Qiu, and it seemed that he was Wang Qiu's staff.

"Oh?"

Wang Qiu, who was reclining behind the handsome case, opened his mouth to eat the fruit fed by a maid next to him, and took a sip of the wine fed by another maid, and said lightly: "I lost Wuzhou so quickly, are Ding Yuan's subordinates a group of wine bags and rice bags?" ”

"My lord, the grain and grass in Ding Yuan's army have been cut off for several days, and it is all maintained by the powerful donations of Yanmen, and now I am afraid that Ding Yuan's grain and grass will be exhausted again."

"Hehe, this Yanmen is really a poor and remote country, even if you are poor, you can't even find one or two decent beauties, which is like my Taiyuan County, not only rich in products, but also beautiful as a cloud!"

As he spoke, Wang Qiu hugged the maid beside him, and put his hands up and down as if no one else had done it, "Did you say yes, little beauty!" ”

The staff member secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed his mind, and said, "We, don't we support Ding Yuan with some grain and grass?" ”

"Support? Just kidding, Ding Yuan and Ben Taishou are big enemies! ”

Wang Qiu grabbed the towering place of the beauty in his arms, and snorted coldly.

"If this is the case, Ding Yuan will inevitably be defeated, and our army will fight alone, can we stop the Huns?" The staff was a little hesitant.

"Hmph, Ben Taishou has an army of 100,000, how can he be afraid of his Huns?"

Since the Xiongnu rebelled last year and attacked Dahanzhou County, Wang Qiu has been actively preparing for the war.

On the one hand, they wantonly looted people's wealth and hoarded grain and grass. Even this kind of tax item is set up, and some of the tax items are simply unheard of and unseen.

On the one hand, the army was greatly expanded, and strong men were arrested everywhere, and in just a few months, an army of 60,000 people was formed. You must know that Taiyuan County only has a population of more than 200,000 in 15 counties, and it can be said that a quarter of Taiyuan's population has been arrested and sent to serve as soldiers.
