"Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, this serial plan is used wonderfully! Yuan Benchu lost this battle unjustly! Not far away, a green-robed literati, accompanied by Zhao Yun, was walking this way. As he walked, he sighed with emotion: "The one who can touch the changes in people's hearts and the battle situation so thoroughly, presumably Your Excellency is the famous Xiliang Jia Wenhe!" ”

"Who is this Coats?" Jia Xu turned to ask He Xian.

"Guangping is frustrated! Yuan Shao's great talents were originally recruited in Wuchao! He Xian introduced.

"I've seen the lord and the military advisor!" He came over and saluted the two of them.

"Mr. Gonghe is a famous man in Hebei. Xu is also thunderous in Xiliang! Jia Xu said a few polite words to Fu Zhi.

After the military rations were recovered, He Xian's originally silent heart began to come alive again. Taking advantage of the presence of the two strategists, He Xian asked: "Now, Yuan Cao and his armies think that our army is short of food and grass, and they will inevitably retreat to Nanyang. If you go the opposite way and take the opportunity to raid, whether it is to attack Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, you will achieve miraculous results. It's just that which one should our army attack in order to maximize its benefits? ”

Jia Xu nodded with a smile, stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture to Fu Zhu, signaling Fu Zhu to speak first.

Frustrated and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Among the three families, the Nanyang Army is the strongest, Yuan Shao is the second, and Cao Cao is the weakest. Yuan Shao's foundation was far away in Hebei, and it was impossible for the Nanyang army to annihilate it in one fell swoop. If Yuan Shao is weakened, it can only force Yuan Shao to unite more closely with Cao Cao and strengthen his determination to resist the Nanyang army. Therefore, it is better to let Yuan Shao go for the time being, concentrate on annihilating Cao Cao, and recover all the land of Henan. After hoarding strength, go north again in one fell swoop and pacify Jiyou! ”

Jia Xu nodded in agreement: "Although Yuan Shao is powerful, he is fierce and timid, scheming and indecisive, doing big things and sparing his life, and forgetting his life when he sees small profits, so he is not afraid." On the other hand, although Cao Cao was small, he was eloquent and strategic, proficient in the art of war, appointed meritocracy, and the soldiers were strong, and the people of Yan and Qing lived and worked in peace and contentment under his rule, and their strength was thriving. This battle of Zhongmu is a great opportunity to defeat the main force of the Cao army and take advantage of the situation to eliminate Cao Cao's forces, and the lord should not miss it! ”

Both strategists recommended the strategy of Cao first and then Yuan, which was in line with He Xian's expectations.

"What's going to happen?" He Xian continued to ask the two.

"Presumably, the military advisor already has a plan, right?" asked Jia Xu with a smile.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "The plan is the plan, and the grain and grass crisis is used as bait to attract the Yuan Cao coalition army to besiege Zhongmu until the coalition army is dragged down." Then pacify Yan and Qing in one fell swoop! ”

"It seems that the military advisor doesn't even plan to let Yuan Jun go!" Frustrated with emotion.

"However, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not fools, do they dare to fight to the death and not retreat when their food and grass are scarce?" He Xian questioned.

"Originally, I didn't have much confidence, but I heard that the lord brought back Chun Yuqiong, the general of the Yuan army...... Perhaps, this Chun Yu general can help us strengthen the determination of the Yuan Cao coalition army to besiege Zhongmu! ”

Seeing He Xian and Jia Xu's yin smile, He Xian knew that Chun Yuqiong, who was named by Jia Xu, was going to be unlucky.

Chun Yuqiong hadn't seen He Xian since he was brought back to Zhongmu, and he was like a forgotten man, under house arrest in a small independent camp northwest of Zhongmu.

Chun Yuqiong can feel that the battle between Zhongmu and Mou is not over yet. Because the Nanyang army is very busy every day, cleaning up the ruins and strengthening the city defenses, it seems that the Yuan Cao coalition army will come to attack at any time. Chun Yuqiong surrendered to He Xian on the same day, because he was desperate, and another reason was not because He Xian was strong and could live a good life. After coming to Zhongmu, Chun Yuqiong found that the situation of the Nanyang army seemed to be very bad. Especially the food in the camp! Chun Yuqiong remembered that after he first arrived in Zhongmu, he could still eat meat at every meal and share a small pot of wine. The next day, the wine and meat were eliminated and replaced with pure grain. In three days, even the supply of pure grain began to halve. At the beginning, Chun Yuqiong thought that she had done something to offend He Xian, and lowering the food was a punishment measure, so she didn't dare to squeak.

After a few days of worry, Chun Yuqiong found that He Xian had no intention of summoning him at all. He tried to move around the camp. This time, he found that He Xian did not ground himself. In addition to the well-guarded arsenal and granary, Chun Yuqiong can wander around at will. Chun Yuqiong, who had been hungry for a few days, hurriedly asked the patrolling soldiers and touched the battalion.

As a middle and senior general of the Yuan army, Chun Yuqiong still has a lot of good things. He took out a piece of mutton fat jade pendant from his close-fitting military uniform, stuffed it into the hands of a middle-aged fat man who looked like the head of the battalion, and asked him if he had any good wine and meat to be accommodating.

The head of the battalion took out a jade pendant and took a photo in the sun, confirmed that it was a good product, nodded and said, "Come with me!" ”

Chun Yuqiong followed the military leader to the back kitchen with a wistful expression, but did not see what he wanted. Not to mention the wine, not even the meat is seen. Except for some vegetables, it is all wheat and millet. Inside the cauldron, the porridge that is boiling is thinner and more as a mirror.

The military commander brought him a bowl of decent porridge, and pulled him a palm-sized piece of beef. Chun Yuqiong frowned and said, "Why don't you bring me something that the generals should eat?" That jade pendant is my ancestral treasure! ”

The military leader stuffed the beef and porridge into Chun Yuqiong's hand, and replied angrily: "If it weren't for the sake of a good piece of jade, I would give you these things to eat?" My father-in-law eats at this level now. See there? ”

The military leader pointed to the ultra-thin gruel that was boiling and said: "There is a shortage of food in the army, and ordinary sergeants are enough to drink enough water now!" ”

"Huh?" Chun Yuqiong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the shortage of food in Nanyang County in Zhongmu City had reached this point, "How come?" Hasn't Nanyang always been rich and has no shortage of grain and grass? ”

"Alas~" The military leader sighed: "There was no shortage of it, but it was burned by a fire from the military division!" However, don't worry, the military advisor said, everyone will hold on for half a month, and after half a month, the newly raised grain and grass in Wancheng will be transported to Zhongmu, and everyone will be able to eat at that time! ”

"Boss, the porridge is ready, the general ordered me to send it to the barracks as soon as possible!" A soldier from the Gang Army ran over to alert the commander. The military leader drove Chun Yuqiong out of the gangster camp: "I'm going to be busy here, you go back to the camp to eat!" Remember if there are any good things to keep coming to me for exchange, I'll try to keep you some good meat! The military leader told Chun Yuqiong with an obscene face that he regarded Chun Yuqiong as a middle-level military general such as the commander of the Nanyang Army.
