Liu Jing didn't speak, just frowned, slowly lowered his head, and began to think about it in his mind, because Liu Jing knew that it was recorded in the history books that this temporary alliance of thieves was extremely loose, and after it was established, it only lasted for a period of time before it automatically collapsed.

Because of this loose alliance, the people gathered are not from a system, but from a wide range of sources, both Beijing officials, there are also feudal officials, mutual suspicion between the soldiers and horses has never stopped, and they also lack an effective means of restraint, so that the soldiers and horses can not be effectively unified and cooperated, so whenever it is necessary to go to the front line to fight, they will basically cower, unwilling to dispatch the headquarters of the army and horses, to preserve their strength.

However, today, in this Bishui Pass, Liu Jing and Cao Cao are different, they carefully planned, hollowed out their minds, after two arduous battles, Li Dao's 30,000 military horses were eaten alive, and now, in the Bishui Pass, only Li Dao's 20,000 horses are stationed here, if Liu Jing and Cao Cao continue to insist, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

But at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly stopped supplying them with grain and grass, isn't this a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle? Although Liu Jing knew that Yuan Shao was suspicious by nature and it was difficult to achieve great things, Liu Jing never thought that Yuan Shao would be so willful, and at this juncture, he and Cao Cao would be given a salary from the bottom of the kettle and cut off food and grass.

At this time, Liu Jing was very unwilling, and his heart was also very angry, originally he was full of hope, originally he was ready to work hard with Cao Cao, until the capture of Luoyang, rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and then he and Cao Cao will inevitably get a rich reward, and then he is exerting his ability and ambition, Kuang to support the Han family, revitalize the Han Dynasty, and reach the peak of life.

But all these beautiful illusions were shattered by Yuan Shao, the bastard, of course Liu Jing was unwilling to leave, but this place was thousands of miles away from Youzhou, even if he prepared the grain and grass by himself, when the grain and grass arrived, the war would have been fought long ago, and his army would have been eaten by the Xiliang army.

Jian Yong saw Liu Jing having such a headache, and he also felt a trace of self-blame in his heart, he should have reported the news tomorrow, but he just couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and wanted to see if Liu Jing had any solution to the problem, as long as there was a solution to the problem, it would be better to act a day earlier than a day later.

But Jian Yong was wrong, Liu Jing is not a god, he is not omnipotent, and he also has times when he is powerless, since Yuan Shao has withheld the grain and grass, the daily consumption of the five thousand troops on the front line is a lot of expenses, so this problem cannot be solved, and the final solution must be to withdraw from the army.

After Jian Yong blamed himself in his heart for a while, he was just about to appease Liu Jing, but he saw Liu Jing slowly raise his head, and saw that Liu Jing's face was a little sallow, probably after hearing the news, he thought about it for a long time and there was no better solution, and his inner impatience was the same.

Jian Yong moved his lips, but in the end, he still didn't say a word, but Liu Jing said slowly: "Xianhe, it seems that we should also know the destiny of heaven and comply with the destiny of heaven, I think, the journey of the western expedition is over, we have no other way but to withdraw our troops!" ”

It wasn't until Jian Yong heard the word 'withdraw troops' from Liu Jing's mouth that he couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and said, "Lord, don't be like this, can't we raise food ourselves?" Can't we make it happen ourselves? ”

Liu Jing smiled weakly and said bitterly: "It's not difficult to raise grain by yourself, but what is really rare is that our base camp is in Youzhou, and our grain and grass are also in Youzhou.

Hehe, I'm afraid that the food has not arrived, but our people have been killed first, hum, I think, by that time, we will not die, we have already been cleaned up by Li Dao, in this way, isn't it in the hands of the enemy? Ay! Unable to return to the sky, unable to return to the sky! What is this Yuan Benchu trying to do? What the hell is he going to do? ”

Of course, there is another person who is as depressed as Liu Jing, this person is none other than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's urgency is stronger than Liu Jing, because his 20,000 military horses have just arrived from Xingyang, and Cao Cao's army needs at least four times as much grain and grass as Liu Jing.

At this moment, Cao Cao was losing his temper in the camp, because his military salary could only last for more than ten days, and if he could not get the supply of food, he would have no choice but to withdraw the army.

Cao Ren was also very anxious when he saw Cao Cao being so angry, he looked at everyone, and saw that they were all depressed, as if there was no good way, so Cao Ren bowed his hand and said: "Big brother, this place is not far from Chen Liu, we can borrow food from Zhang Mengzhuo for security!" ”

Cao Cao was angry, and when he suddenly heard Cao Ren say this, he calmed down a lot, he turned his head, glanced at Cao Ren twice, and said softly: "Meng Zhuo has a very good personal relationship with me, he will definitely borrow this grain, but what I am afraid is that Yuan Benchu will forcibly block it."

Meng Zhuo is a person who is not very assertive, I am afraid that he intends to borrow grain, and Yuan Benchu insists on refusing, when the time comes, Yuan Benchu will definitely impose pressure on him, if he is afraid of Yuan Benchu and does not lend us food, then we will be isolated, we will be unable to advance and retreat, and time will be wasted! ”

When Cao Ren heard that Yuan Shao was making trouble, he glared at those two eyes and said angrily: "Hmph! What is Yuan Benchu? As the leader of the dignified alliance of thieves, he dared to make decisions without authorization and seize the grain and grass on the front line, isn't this nonsense? I think he was afraid that his eldest brother and Xuande Gong would rob him of his credit, right?

Hum! Big brother rest assured, this time I borrowed food from Zhang Mengzhuo, I personally led someone to go, I don't believe it, then how can Yuan Benchu take me, when he dares to stop it, I will clean up Yuan Benchu first! ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard that Cao Ren took the initiative to ask Ying to go, he knew that this matter was half a point, so he advised: "Zixiao must be careful when he goes, I expect that after Yuan Benchu saw you, he didn't dare to do more, remember, everything needs to be thought twice, don't be reckless, someone has caught something!" ”

Cao Ren bowed his hand and said: "Big brother, please rest assured, Zixiao will definitely live up to his mission and bring back the grain and grass for us safely!" ”

After Cao Cao waited for Cao Ren to go out, he called Cao Chun over, wrote a letter by hand, handed it to Cao Chun, and advised: "This letter was handed over to Liu Xuande by you personally, remember, Xuande Gong took the initiative to follow me to Li Zhiran, and at this point today, I am also burdened by me, I can't let him move an inch!"
