Runan Xincai Liu Beijun in the army.

When it is nearly two watches, the night is at the beginning of the night, and the bright moon is in the sky, shining on the earth.

In the big tent, in front of the case of Zhengnan Shuai, a person sat there in a mediocre manner, his eyes staring at the flickering candle flame, stunned, lost and depressed, as if he was confused and didn't know why.

After successfully sending off Zhu Lu and the others, Liu Bei began to think about what to do next.

He knew very well that Cao Cao was resourceful and treacherous, and the battle of Ancheng Zhou Mansion failed to completely eliminate the Cao army, and the news of the jade seal would be known to Cao Cao sooner or later, and it was just a delay to let Zhu Lu and the others take the jade seal back to Xuchang.

Liu Bei was very confused, staring at the candle flame for a full hour, but he still didn't have a clue.

It seems that the timing of the jade seal is a little early, even more than Liu Bei expected before, and once the news of the jade seal is known to Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will inevitably be overwhelmed by the army, and there is really not much time left for Liu Bei.

At this time, he was still in Runan, thousands of miles away from Xuzhou! Liu Bei knew very well that once Cao Cao turned his face, then the idea of relying on Cao Cao to raise an army would inevitably be shattered, and what should he do at that time?

Xuzhou! I have to go to Xuzhou!

Liu Bei's foundation is still there, and he can gain a firm foothold in a short time, otherwise what will he do to fight Cao Cao!

Liu Bei blinked his eyes, sighed, rubbed a thin stick in his hand, and pulled out the lamp line that was about to burn out a little, and the tent was dim for a moment, and then turned brighter.

"Haha, that's nature!"

A familiar voice came from outside the tent, the sound was like a bell, and there was a haughty confidence in the language, and the footsteps were gradually approaching, and the steady pace was sounding on the ground.

Outside the tent, he rushed into the two, and he didn't have to think that he was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Looking at his expression, he knew that Zhu Lu's troops had been successfully absorbed, and his strength had grown again, and at the same time, the burden had also increased.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Before the two of them could salute, Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand to stop them, and said, "Two virtuous brothers, there is no need to be polite, and sit down." ”

After Guan Zhang and the others sat down, they said, "Big brother! This time, our strength has soared, but thanks to the big brother's clever plan. These 3,000 military horses and younger brothers have successfully merged with Yide. ”

The smile that couldn't be concealed was even brighter after meeting Liu Bei at this moment. But Liu Bei showed no signs of excitement at all, replaced by a sorrow, a heartfelt sorrow.

When Guan Zhang and the others saw Liu Bei like this, the smiles on their faces stopped abruptly, and they looked at each other, but they didn't know why. Zhang Fei had a straightforward temperament, so he asked directly: "Why is the eldest brother depressed, but what did the younger brother and the second brother do wrong?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned and silent for a moment, only then did he realize the trouble caused by his melancholy expression, and immediately reluctantly squeezed out a smile, pretended to be calm, and said, "Second brother, third brother did a good job!" Very well done. ”

The unnatural twitching of the facial muscles, the slight doubt in his eyes, and the seemingly reasonable but unreasonable answer to the horse's mouth, one mouth exposed Liu Bei's hidden thoughts.

How can this point escape Guan Zhang's eyes, Zhang Feixin was straightforward, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and guessed: "Big brother! Do you already know? ”

Got it!?

Know what?

Liu Bei was really a little confused this time!

At this moment, Liu Hui broke in from outside the tent, and when he saw that Guan Zhang was also there, he nodded in understanding, and then bowed and saluted, saying, "Lord!" What should I do next? ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and motioned for him to sit on the side for a while, and said indifferently: "I'm going to Xuzhou!" ”

Xuzhou!?

Guan Zhang was shocked at first, Yuan Shu has not been eradicated, why do you want to go to Xuzhou!?

Liu Hui sighed on the side and said, "At this time, only Xuzhou can gain a foothold!" But "

Liu Hui's words became slurred, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Zihui! It doesn't hurt to be outspoken. ”

"My lord! We only have 3,000 stone of grain and grass. Now that the army has expanded to 6,500 people, this grain and grass has become the most difficult problem, and it is thousands of miles away from Xuzhou, and it cannot be reached in 15 days. The"

An army of 6,500 men needed 20,000 stone of grain and grass for this month alone, and a war horse could eat six times as much as an adult man, and there were still 100 war horses in the army, so that there were 2,000 stone more horses alone in a month.

On the fifteenth day's trip, that was 10,000 stone of grain and grass, but now there are only 3,000 grains and grass, and there is still a gap of 7,000 stones!

This grain and grass problem is the root of the melancholy that has been entangled in Liu Bei's heart!

Since ancient times, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. And now that it has not yet been opened, there has been a food crisis, and Liu Bei, who is already at an extreme disadvantage, is even worse at this time.

"Zihui! In your opinion, how should this problem of grain and grass be solved? ”

Liu Hui was silent for a moment, and analyzed: "From Xincai to Xuzhou, it takes fifteen days to run day and night through the dry road, and the grain and grass will be insufficient.

And through Rushui, into the Huai River, east into Fubo, through Anfengjin, directly to Shouchun, only seven days, so only 5,000 stone grain and grass. After going north, passing through Xia Cai, passing through Ping'a, interspersing Qiao County in depth, and reaching Xuzhou directly, it still takes ten days.

Shouchun is the place where Yuan Shu arrogantly claimed the emperor, it is also an important military town in Huainan, a place where soldiers must fight, it is a place where agriculture is developed since ancient times, and its grain output can be compared with Yecheng, an important town in Jizhou.

If we wait to arrive in Shouchun by water, and then exterminate Yuan Shu and harvest its grain and grass, we will be able to survive this catastrophe. After that, it was not too late to go north to Xuzhou.

I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

This is the best strategy to solve the current food crisis, but Liu Bei is still hesitant in his heart, if he goes to Shouchun first, then Cao Cao's decree will inevitably spread to the counties of Yuzhou, and then go north to Xuzhou, it may not be so easy.

On the side, Guan Yu can also be called a famous general, and he has no effective strategy for the situation at this time.

When Liu Hui proposed this strategy of folding the way of longevity, Guan Yu couldn't help nodding, unconsciously respectful, stroked his two-foot long hair, and praised: "Mr. is really talented!" Guan sincerely admired. ”

Liu Hui's heart was as careful as a hair, and when he saw Liu Bei's hesitation, he knew his difficulties, and replied: "If the lord intends to avoid the main force of Cao's army, we can also go directly to Xiapi County through Fengyang, and then go north." ”

In fact, at this time, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, and Xuzhou were all Cao Cao's territory, and Liu Bei, no matter where he was, was always within Cao Cao's sphere of influence.

But in Liu Bei's heart, this Xuzhou is different from the side, after all, he has accepted the management of Xuzhou for many years, and the people of Xuzhou feel their kindness.

There is such a subconscious in Liu Bei's heart, when he arrives in Xuzhou, he will be safe. Therefore, Liu Bei agreed without hesitation to Liu Hui's proposal to break Shouchun and then go straight to Xiapi County.
