Liu Bei felt like he was going crazy.

In front was Cao De's endless attack. Although Liu Bei also knew that Cao De's attacking knights had no effect. But Liu Bei was also afraid that as soon as his side relaxed, Cao De's side began to attack in a real way. And behind him, the cavalry of the Cao army, who had been tormenting him like rats for seven or eight days, had not found them until now.

According to some of the soldiers who had fled, the cavalry was not a large number, only two or three thousand, while according to some survivors of the attacked city, there were nearly 10,000 people piled up. All in all, these troops are not very numerous, but the difficulty is that it is not yet known where they are hiding.

Liu Bei had a headache, and Zhuge Liang also had a headache. Even if Zhuge Liang has any unpredictable strategies, in the face of such a situation, Zhuge Liang is also at a loss.

First of all, Cao De has an absolute superior force, although Cao De only has 200,000 troops on this side at present, Liu Bei has 150,000, minus the losses in the past few days, Cao De still has to have 1780,000 horses, and Liu Bei has to resist Cao De's frontal army and have to beware of the small detachments behind the enemy that are making trouble behind. Therefore, Liu Bei's army that is still on the front line is just enough for 100,000. And the biggest problem is that Cao De only needs an order, and there will be more than 200,000 troops who can go straight to the battlefield, but Liu Bei has already made a bloody investment by taking out these 150,000 horses.

Second, Liu Bei has no food or money. The war is about money and food, but is Cao De's family background comparable to Liu Bei?

Thirdly, the places where the two sides are now fighting are some low hills and small mounds, except for the flat plains. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. There is no suitable time and place, Zhuge Liang only takes half a person and how to fight Cao De.

"Lord, military advisor, we don't have much food and grass!" When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were sighing, the grain supervisor ran in and told the worst news.

"How many days can the grain and grass in the army last?" Although Liu Bei is worried, he should know that this key issue still has to be cared about.

"Lord, let's go and have a look!"

Soon, accompanied by the grain supervisor, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang wandered to the place where grain and grass were hoarded.

At first glance, there is really a lot of grain and grass, but if you carefully divide it below, one point of more than 100,000 troops will only support it for five or six days.

"O military advisor, it seems that my business has not been half started and the middle way has collapsed. The order will be sent down, and the army will be withdrawn soon, scattered to various cities, and delay Cao De's march. ”

Liu Bei really has no choice. More than 100,000 troops can't guarantee to eat, drink, and Lazar, so there is no need for Cao De. What a hungry and crazy soldier would do, Liu Bei didn't dare to imagine. And what Liu Bei can do is only to disperse the army of more than 100,000 people, sprinkle Cao De's march road with thorns, delay Cao De's march speed, and wait for the next year's grain harvest to think about the big war.

And after Zhuge Liang touched the grain that was in the bag, he suddenly had an idea. "Lord, in the next step, you will definitely be able to break the Cao army!"

"The military advisor taught me!" When Liu Bei heard this, he grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand.

"My lord, that's all we need is!"

"General, General! Good news. Good news! ”

Zhao Yun and Cao Zhen have been looking for a place to hide for a long time, but for their own safety. The Sentinel didn't rest. And today, it seems that there is really some good news, and I can't run without seeing the happy running of the sentry horseman.

"What's the good news?"

"General, Liu Jun has begun to transport grain, and it is fifty miles away. The large string of grain carts lined up, and the subordinates didn't see their heads at a glance, and they had to pay more than 100,000 stones! Moreover, his subordinates also inquired that in order to support Liu Bei, the businessmen in Xuzhou paid out of their own pockets to give Liu Bei nearly 200,000 stones of grain and grass, presumably, that's all! ”

With a bang, Zhao Yun and Cao Zhen stood up. The two looked at each other with the same sentence, "Good opportunity!" ”

At the beginning, the original intention of Zhao Yun and Cao Zhen's action was that according to the news brought back by Duan Wei, Liu Bei had not much food and grass. Therefore, Liu Bei will definitely have flaws exposed. And Cao De's purpose is very simple. First, let Liu Bei be distracted; second, to create chaos for Liu Bei; Third, look for an opportunity to give Liu Bei a fatal blow. And to sum up, what Zhao Yun and Cao Zhen need to do is harass, harass, and harass!

Now, Zhao Yun and Cao Zhen's chance has come. These days, Liu Bei's grain and grass are gone, although there is still the existence of his own harassment team, but the lack of food is a big problem. So, no matter what, we're going to have to start shipping grain.

With just one look, three thousand White Tiger Army knights and two thousand Tiger and Leopard Rider knights stepped on their war horses again. Five thousand knives have also begun to thirst for blood these days.

With a simple gesture, the army of five thousand split into two parts and left the place where it had been hiding for a few days.

"Quick, speed up!" Since the previous logistics minister became Cao De's prisoner, the current logistics minister was just promoted by Liu Bei.

"General, I heard that there has been a black cavalry around this recently. You say...... "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although he is only a small logistics minister, he also has his own henchmen, although he is just a fox friend and a dog friend."

"Fart! Lao Tzu, this is the first task in office. If there is anything wrong, Lao Tzu will twist your head first. "The logistics minister's eyes are horizontal,, are you cursing Lao Tzu? Although we have carried guns and prostitutes together, you have to pay attention to me. "Cheer up Lao Tzu. You, did our patrol people scatter out? ”

"General, our sentry cavalry is ten miles away."

Ten miles is already a very safe distance. What's the problem, ten miles away is enough for this side to react.

"Well, brothers, work hard. Tomorrow we will be able to arrive in Chenliu. As long as this batch of grain is handed over to the military advisor, we can go back to drinking wine and eating meat! "Sometimes, the temptation of wine and meat is more generous than that of a high-ranking official. This batch of grain was a lifesaver for Liu Bei. As long as you arrive, you will have your own deep stroke in the credit book.

"Oh!" When the grain overseer heard this, he immediately roared happily, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and push it on the grain truck.

Before the cheers of the soldiers had ended, suddenly the head of logistics understood a dark shadow in the distance. "General, what's that?"

The logistics minister stretched out his hand to block out some dazzling sunlight on his eyes, "It's so tall, so dense, it should be a forest!" Brothers, let's go to the woods and rest. ”

However, before a cup of tea had passed, the dog-legged man suddenly screamed, "General, it's not good. How did the subordinates see that the forest moved! ”

"Huh? You ...... eyes" Originally, the logistics minister wanted to scold him for being blind, but after such a while, why did the forest suddenly rise a lot higher.

Well? How can there be reflections? Not good!

"Quick, get in shape! It's cavalry! ”

Although Liu Bei knew that his food was about to arrive, it was impossible for the cavalry on the front line to come here to meet the food. Even if there were men and horses to greet them, it could only be infantry. The cavalry is Liu Bei's most important hole card, and it is impossible to play it casually. The new logistics minister has been by Liu Bei's side for a long time. He is naturally clear about some of Liu Bei's habits.
