Chapter Seventy-Three: A Fool's Fortune

Just when the refugees, who had been gathered with great difficulty, were completely desperate, Guan Sheng's army that had gone south to clear Fang La finally arrived in Pingjiang. As soon as these refugees heard the news, they immediately surrounded the sudden army and refused to disperse for a long time.

"Marshal, our vanguard has encountered refugees." A scout hurried from afar to report the news.

"What's so strange about that? Could it be that there are fewer refugees along the way? Guan Sheng, who was in charge, heard this information, but said disapprovingly.

"But the refugees have surrounded our vanguard and made it impossible for our army to advance." The scout who was reprimanded, but at this time, he didn't dare to slack off and say the details.

"It's the other way around, are these refugees all pretending to be thieves. Coming to delay the trip of our army? "Originally, it was not good to be a teacher, and a stone suffered from this plague that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and now it is not easy to see the rate of this plague passing. The army went south, but this happened again, which couldn't help but annoy Guan Sheng, who has always been short-tempered.

"Not really. Those refugees all begged for food around our army, and the pioneer general was kind enough to distribute the rations. Order the little one to come back and ask for food and grass support. "You know, this art of war. The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The vanguard in front was Guan Sheng's eldest son Guan De. Before this army arrived, the food that went ahead was not enough, and the reason was still very strong, to rescue the refugees.

It's okay not to say this, but when he said it, Guan Sheng, who has always had a bad temper, was so angry that he was angry.

"How can this be reasonable, as a pioneer officer of grain delivery, he has a great ability to release grain without permission and delay the fighter plane. Now I still have the face to ask me for food, and someone will drag him out and give me a big 30 board. ”

"The general spares his life, the general goes around his life!" It's a pity that this herald scout has become Guan Sheng's punching bag at this time.

As for Guan Sheng's kind-hearted son Guan De, this scout has become the best scapegoat. No matter how you say it, he is his own son, but Guan Sheng has a personal affair.

"General, what are we going to do?" Seeing that Guan Sheng was angry, most of the generals under his command were silent, and no one dared to pick this bad head. But at this time, when you encounter problems, you always find a way to solve them. As Guan Sheng's confidant, Zhou Hun still spoke cautiously.

"What else, there is no food and grass to raise. Don't you guys just watch it one by one, why don't you hurry up and think of a way? "As a marshal, although Guan Sheng still has a lot of shortcomings, he can be in this position, and he finally has some ability. can listen to the advice, this is one of the best virtues in Guan Sheng's life.

No, as soon as this statement came out. The generals under their command, who were originally in a tense atmosphere, were discussing one by one at this time, and then kept expressing their opinions and opinions.

"As the so-called Suhu Lake is ripe for the world, the marshal is located in Pingjiang Mansion, the country's grain-producing land. Now the plan, why didn't the marshal go and borrow grain? Zhu Yijia, a fat general with a big belly, touched the mustache on the side of his mouth, and said quietly.

"Hmph, you think I didn't think of it. But now in Pingjiang Province, but there are still countless refugees, do you think there will be food in Pingjiang Province now? Guan Sheng said angrily.

"The marshal's words are wrong! Could the marshal have forgotten that a few days ago, Pingjiang Mansion was besieged by a large-scale number of refugees, and the Pingjiang Mansion guard sent someone to ask the marshal for help? The young general still remembers what the soldier who asked for help said. That Gao Shide and the Pingjiang prefect closed the city and waited, and did not let the refugee into the city. Moreover, since the rebellion of the Fang La thieves, Pingjiang Mansion has not let an outsider enter the city. Do you think there will be no food in the city? This fat man is Guan Sheng's logistics supply officer, and he can be said to know the situation in all places on the march, and he said what he said in his heart to Guan Sheng, who was now a little anxious.

"According to what you say, you can try, and that's fine." Guan Sheng scratched the beard on his chin and said thoughtfully.

"The marshal is relieved, that Gao Shide is the son of Captain Gao Tai in Tokyo. He and the marshal belong to the same line of the military department, and the jealousy of the thief in front of him is extremely rampant. At any time, he is willing to threaten the Pingjiang Mansion, and he has to help us get through this difficult situation. At this moment, seeing that the timing was almost there, Zhou Hun hurriedly spoke.

As soon as this decision was made, Guan Sheng couldn't wait to march the army towards the city of Pingjiang Prefecture. And that Zhu Yijia took several of his own personal soldiers to find Gao Shide in advance.

"What? Borrowing food? "Gao Shide first entertained the people in front of him. Zhu Yijia went straight to the point, and told his origin and what he wanted at the beginning.

"Exactly, the marshal of my family originally brought enough grain and grass to follow the army south, but unexpectedly encountered the plague not long ago on the way. So that the army had to temporarily stop advancing, General Gao, you are also a person in the army, and you know that the grain and grass consumed by the army in a day are an astronomical amount. As soon as I arrived in Pingjiang Mansion, there was a serious shortage of grain and grass in the army, and the marshal of my family thought about it. I had no choice but to come and ask for food, and I asked General Gao to see that he was in the same line as Gao Taiwei and give him a helping hand. "This Zhu Yijia is worthy of being engaged in logistics, this attitude is obviously different, there is a level, and every word can move people's hearts.

But although Hua said so, he couldn't hide it from Gao Shide. If you want this way in Pingjiang Mansion, as long as there is any wind and grass, he knows it well. Even those refugees turned the spearhead to surround the army, it was all his secret layout.

After all, no matter how ruthless he is, those refugees are all living lives in his eyes. If you open a warehouse and release food yourself, let the refugees rush in. So he didn't dare to imagine what the current Pingjiang Mansion would become. As a last resort, the city could only be closed. At the moment, when he was having a headache, the people below came to report that the imperial army would arrive in Pingjiang Mansion in a few days. This news was undoubtedly a relief for Gao Shide, who immediately made a small plan and ordered people to infiltrate the refugees and incite those refugees who were close to starving to death to surround the army. The effect came out immediately, and I happened to meet Guan De, a kind-hearted pioneer officer.

Now Guan Sheng has come to ask for food, which is nothing for his rich Pingjiang Mansion.

Gao Shide was not hypocritical, and regarded it as a favor, so he immediately contacted the prefect and the heads of the four major families, and raised 200,000 loads of grain and grass to send together.

But such a big stroke made Gao Shide and Guan Sheng's army happy. But after all, there are many people, and somehow the news leaked. There is a huge amount of grain hidden in Pingjiang Mansion, and this news has been spread to the ears of Fang La, who is now having countless siblings.
