Yuan Shao of Neichengcheng decided to stand still, and in Liyang City, Yuan Tan's nightmare had just begun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The siege of the Zhou army lasted for more than two months.

In the course of two months, the Zhou army dug trenches along the city walls, erected earthen walls, and built arrow towers, completely isolating Liyang City from the world.

Zhang Yuan was determined to go down with Yuan Tan.

Today is different from the past, it was Yuan Shao's turn to start worrying about grain and grass, but Zhang Yuan became the one with abundant grain and grass.

The grain and grass collected from the south of the Chenghe River, from Huainan, from Chang'an, and from the land of Bingzhou, continued to converge to the north and be transported to the Liyang front.

Guan Zhong's outstanding political talent has finally been fully reflected.

Under his management, Chang'an, Shouchun, Suiyang, Chang'an and other Central Plains places have built several tuntian, and reclaimed grain fields to stop millions of acres.

The grain of the tuntian, coupled with the grain paid by the yeoman farmers, and the bumper harvest this autumn, the granaries of all the lands are all piled up.

These requisitioned grains and grasses are enough to support Zhang Yuan's army of 70,000 for twenty months without worrying about the follow-up supply of grain and grass.

It was precisely by relying on this innumerable amount of grain and grass that Zhang Yuan dared to besiege Liyang without attacking it, and consumed it with Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shao's side was different, Guandu lost countless grains and grass in the First Battle, not only more than half of the soldiers, but even those Ding Fu who transported grain and grass were captured by Zhang Yuan.

The sharp decrease in the number of dingkou will inevitably damage the spring ploughing and the autumn grain will naturally be affected.

In addition, Yuan Shao is house leak coincided with even rain, and the drought in many places in the four prefectures of Hebei Province made the autumn grain harvest even worse, which was nearly forty percent lower than in previous years.

Only separated by a river, Hebei is in a great drought, but Henan has a smooth wind and rain, Zhang Yuan guessed that this must be the talent of the son of heaven who played a role in the darkness.

And it is precisely because of this that even in an important town like Liyang, which is important to the Song Dynasty, Yuan Shao only gathered grain and grass for four months.

As the siege continued, the Zhou army did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and seeing that the food was prosperous and scarce, Yuan Tan Xingfa in the city began to be anxious.

The grain and grass may last for at least two months, but the most headache for Yuan Tan is the weather.

Before you know it, the temperature in the north has plummeted, and the cold is extremely cold, according to the usual practice, the farmers outside the city have to use their leisure time to transport a large amount of firewood and grass to Liyang, and sell it to these city people to live and warm up for the winter.

This year, it didn't work, Liyang was besieged by the Zhou army, and a single firewood didn't want to be sent in, and the comfrey in the city was quickly exhausted.

Another month had passed, and the city was in ruins, with doors and windows all that could be burned clean.

Unfortunately, a snowstorm unseen in ten years came unexpectedly, and the temperature dropped to the extreme.

The Yuan army, who lacked firewood, whether it was a soldier or a common man, could only crowd each other in the leaky room around the weak fire, trembling and suffering.

The morale of the enemy army, which had not been rising in the first place, was exhausted little by little in this wind and snow.

Yuan Tan became more and more desperate day by day.

However, the suffering of being frozen, he, the eldest son, can't enjoy it for the time being, and what really makes him desperate is that he is completely cut off from the outside world.

He didn't know what was going on outside, he didn't know if his father had abandoned him, and this fear of knowing nothing tormented his fragile heart every day.

Yuan Tan and his soldiers and civilians had a hard time, but the Zhou army outside the city was in a different situation.

Because of the full preparation, food and thick jackets and other winter things, the Zhou army was fully gathered, and even the firewood was full of light in advance, and all the Zhou soldiers had to do every day was to nest in the raging military tent, chat, fart, and drink wine, regardless of the cold outside.

In order to boost the morale of the soldiers and replenish their physical strength, Zhang Yuan also mobilized the officials in the rear to donate tens of thousands of sheep to the front line to enhance the physical strength of the soldiers.

Since Zhang Yuan's bloodbath in the Central Plains and the destruction of many powerful clans, these powerful clans have been afraid of Zhang Yuan's might, and his edict is a hesitation, one is more positive than the other.

As a result, the soldiers of the Zhou army could chew the delicious mutton and drink the fragrant mutton soup, and their small life was more nourishing than before the war.

Inside and outside the Zhou camp, the smell of meat was permeated all the time, laughter was everywhere, and although the cold winter was harsh, the morale of the soldiers of the Zhou army was thriving.

It's day, it's night.

Zhang Yuanzheng was drinking around the fireplace, looking at the book of soldiers, he stepped into the tent, and said with a smile: "Duke Zhou, the third lady has escorted the grain and grass to arrive." ”

"Don't let Fei'er in yet." Zhang Yuan flicked his hands and smiled.

Zhuan Zhu retreated, and after a while, the tent was lifted, and Faye Wong, who was covered with cold red, walked into the tent with a body of wind and snow.

"The concubine has seen her husband." Faye Wong spat white gas in her mouth and bowed down.

"Phil quickly excuse yourself and sit down." Zhang Yuan looked at her with a smile and beckoned to her.

Faye Wong took off her coat, hit the snowflakes on her shoulders, twisted her fat buttocks and walked forward, before she could get closer, Zhang Yuan laughed, reached out and grabbed her jade hand, and took her into his arms.

Faye Wong sighed, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and her plump buttocks sat on Zhang Yuan's lap, frozen to the reddened face, which made her even more faint.

"300,000 grains and grass, the concubine has been safely sent to the camp, and this time the front-line soldiers don't have to worry about grain and grass." Faye Wong leaned against Zhang Yuan's warm chest and reported softly.

"It's hard madam, it's so cold, and I want my wife to go to the front line to collect food." Zhang Yuan said with a smile, and a pair of hands had reached into her clothes, "Madame must be cold and tight, and I will warm you for my husband." ”

Faye Wong snorted, her delicate body trembled, her face was even more ashamed, and she snorted: "The concubine has no other ability, unlike the eldest sister and the fourth sister, who can go to the battlefield for her husband to fight the enemy, and can only do what she can." ”

"Who said that, Fei'er, there are more things you can do......" Zhang Yuan's eyes became more and more evil, and his hands became more and more restless.

Faye Wong snorted, her delicate body trembled a few times, and the shame on her face surged like a tide, "The concubine body can still ...... What else can I do for my husband......"

"Do you still need me to say it......" Zhang Yuan laughed evilly, turned over unexpectedly, and threw Faye Wong down on the couch.

Faye Wong snorted, her shame was as thick as water, although she knew that Zhang Yuan planned to be like Zhong, she was still ashamed to cover her chest with her arms, looking like she wanted to refuse and was ashamed, and she looked at Zhang Yuan more and more bloody.

"Haha," In the wild laughter, Zhang Yuan was like a hungry lion, mighty, and frantically pounced on Faye Wong.

In the roaring imperial tent, spring suddenly rose.

Outside the tent, Dugu Jialuo was stepping on the snow, wanting to enter the tent to see Zhang Yuan.
