Liu Biao naturally did not publicize the embarrassment of the self-army. But how can such a thing be hidden? The increasingly clear rice soup has already told this fact very "objectively" to the soldiers who followed his lord and Bo from the dragon. That is to say, most of the soldiers and generals in Liu Biao's army are natives, and they are grateful to Liu Biao for his grace in recuperating in recent years. In addition, it was a local battle, so it did not mutiniate immediately when the military rations were already exhausted.

But one day or two days is fine, but after three days, the morale of these tens of thousands of troops has actually fallen to a low point. Originally, Liu Biao's strategists did not say that they would first "borrow" some from the big families in the realm, but it was easy to be rich and noble in these years, and it was really difficult to share hardships. Liu Biaojun hasn't met anyone yet, he has already become like this, if it is really right, can the victory or defeat be predicted? Besides, Liu Biao is in the case of the Son of Heaven this time, and blatantly stated that he wants to covet the supreme position, so that some things are tacitly understood by everyone, and in this unclear situation, staying out of the matter is undoubtedly the best plan. Even if there are people who sympathize with Liu Biao and plan to invest in the long run, they want to learn from the old things of Qin Xiang Lu Buwei, but compared to Liu Biaojun, who has a huge base, the thousands of stones of grain and grass that ordinary people have never seen in their lives are actually just a drop in the bucket.

After a few times of urgency, it was clear that Xiangyang was within sight of dozens of miles. But Liu Biao, who couldn't or even dared not approach, almost had to order to "take grain" on the spot to fill his stomach. copied the back road of the Xuzhou soldiers, and then planned the order of the future. But it was dissuaded by a group of civil ministers and military generals, including Kuai Yue, who were rarely dissuaded together. Without him, among the 40,000 troops, at least 30,000 were locals in Xiangyang, which was also due to the fact that Liu Biao had previously defended Jingzhou, which had nothing to do with the border except for the Dajiang moat, and the promotion of the soldiers of this army was based on the principle of proximity. But in this way, if Liu Biao wants to order "taking grain" on the spot, it is actually a grab. Not to mention that it is spring ploughing right now, and if it is delayed, it will be a year's famine, and the local people alone may be related to the soldiers of this army. In the Han Dynasty, which values nostalgia the most, it is completely asking for hardship, and even asking for its own destruction.

But the soldiers have no food, and it is not a solution anyway. Originally, according to the rules, the food was only two meals a day. I haven't eaten for more than two days. Even an iron man can't stand it. If it goes on like this, there is no need to fight with the sneak attack of the Lu Bu army, and his own soldiers should run away if they are not hungry and looking for death.

After hearing that Xiangyang was besieged, Liu Xian was worried that there would be an ambush in the middle of the road, and only hoped that Cai Zhong's troops, who had returned to the army to help, would join the division, intending to march slowly with an army of 60,000 troops. I don't know how I fell for the evil before, so I just relied on the deserters from Jiangling to say that the Xuzhou soldiers are boundless, and there are tens of thousands of them. I gave such an order, which made it uncomfortable to not go up or down now.

"My lord. It can't go on like this! The soldiers marched hungry, and the combat strength of the army was greatly disadvantaged. In this situation, if you meet Xuzhou soldiers again, it is no different from sending them to death! Where will the great cause of the Lord begin? "As a Kuai family who is free from the Cai family, the Huang family, and foreign forces, Kuai Yue, who was regarded by Liu Biaobiao as a general of the army and a marching division, had to advise Liu Biao.

Originally, because Liu Biao used such military events as a means to balance and reconcile the contradictions between the Huang family, an old family in Jingxiang, and the Cai family, a "foreign relative", Kuai Yue was actually very opposed from the beginning. However, Liu Biao at that time, after seeing Cao Cao's book, his self-confidence became unprecedentedly inflated, and when the emperor Lao Tzu came, it was estimated that he would not be able to turn back Liu Biao, who had already developed a greedy heart for that son, let alone Kuai Yue.

Now encountering this kind of embarrassment, it is almost unbelievable, maybe it can only be heard as a joke, Liu Biao's ambition is half eliminated by himself, and Kuai Yue dares to speak out.

"What does Xenomorph have to teach so-and-so?" After listening to Kuai Yue's words, Liu Biao, who was already anxious, seemed to be a drowning man grasping the last straw, hurriedly grabbed Kuai Yue's hand, and asked with an anxious face. It's no wonder that Liu Biao is like this, compared to Kuai Liang, who was relied on by Liu Biao as a humerus and stayed in Xiangyang this time, Kuai Yue's reputation for wisdom is even better.

"My lord, for the sake of today, it is important to stabilize the morale of the army. It was expected that the Xuzhou soldiers attacked Jiangling and Xiangyang this time, and their intention was nothing more than to solve the danger in Jiangdong, but it was only because our army did not investigate for a while that it gave it a momentary advantage. Jing Xiang has not experienced the flames of war for a long time, and the people are panicked, and it is not impossible to exaggerate the strength of the incoming troops for no reason under false rumors. Moreover, our army is only dozens of miles away from Xiangyang City, which can be said to be reached in one day, and there are two generals, Wen Ping and Cai Mao, to guard it, and the people in the city have long relied on the great grace of the lord, and they will also help each other. Even if the lord seeks stability, it seems that this step-by-step strategy is now, there will be no danger during the day, and it seems to be extremely dangerous, but in fact there is still a place to turn around. Kuai Yue pondered for a moment and said.

If this was said to Liu Biao a few days ago, and was not blasted out in public by Liu Biao, who had already lost his mind, it would have been a great shame for the Kuai brothers who had worked hard for his old Liu family for a long time. But now that he heard Kuai Yue say this, and took care of Lizi's face, Liu Biao's face was much better. He asked, "What Xenomorph said makes perfect sense. Unexpectedly, in the end, a certain person still fell for the traitor's scheme. I heard that it was Lu Bu's reckless son-in-law who led the troops this time, and his name was Qin Xu, right? I heard that such a treacherous character as Cao Mengde made this guy disgraced at the beginning, and finally embroidered this guy's name and surname on the bottom of the robe. This time, I also saw it. It's just that now that our army's rations are running out, and the soldiers are unstable, a certain one is worried, if this situation is known by those thieves who intend to Xiangyang, and suddenly return to the army to strike, but what can it do? ”

"The lord is very worried!" Kuai Yue nodded and said, "But these thieves don't dare to easily withdraw the army besieging Xiangyang. First, as the lord said, the purpose of these people is to attack me in order to save Jiangdong. It's also to blame General Huang Zu for being too careless, and even let them go, so that the tired lord has today's worries. But it's not necessarily a bad thing! General Huang Zu has always been a little careless, after this battle, there will inevitably be some gains, and the lord will take some effort to save him, then the lord will have someone to entrust in the future! And Qin Xu's thief got General Huang Zu, knowing that the lord loves his soldiers the most, and he will definitely talk to General Huang about the lord, and his purpose is still in Jiangdong! As long as General Cai withdraws from Jiangdong, even if his goal is achieved, if it is not enough to take another Lujiang River, his troops will inevitably retreat, even if it is Jiangling occupied by thieves, it will be returned in full, so the lord is relaxed. ”

"According to intelligence, that Qin is a well-known person who refuses to suffer, and it is easy to break a certain Jiangling and come to Xiangyang, is he willing to give up so easily?" Although Kuai Yue nodded straight at what he said, Liu Biao was also a prince, and he had a previous conviction that took the opportunity to occupy Lujiang County, Jiangdong, and he knew that the fat in his hand would not be spit out again. So he continued to ask.

"If the lord has an upward heart, why should he care about the gains and losses of this city and place? Qin Xu's origin is not a secret, he is only a house slave! Looking at the battles he has experienced, luck has played a large role. In addition, he is Lu Bu's son-in-law, and the soldiers under his father-in-law are loyal to him, so he can get mixed up to the point where he is now. But the lord thinks that the great enemy of his lord Lu Bu is not us, but in the north, and even in Cao Cao, which is obtained by the lord of Lujiang, but Lu Wenhou did not make any moves against our army, which is enough to see. Speaking of which, if we weren't deceived by the appearance of Cao Cao's scheme, how could we be willing to go near and far? Cao Cao, the traitor who set up a new king, didn't fight, but went to provoke them? Moreover, putting aside all this, let's just say that the current difficulties encountered by our army are actually just scabies. What was the situation when Lü Wenhou went to Hanoi from Chang'an? Now it has only been three or five years, and he has changed from a wolf to a major prince of the Central Plains. But the Jingzhou soldiers have not experienced the war for a long time, so they will not eat refined food, and there is no supply, and the army's heart is shaken. The talent of the lord is ten times stronger than that of Lu Bu, and those who are worried about are nothing more than soldiers. It is natural that the Jingzhou soldiers are elite, but there is less tempering in their temperament, so they will say that it is not necessarily a good thing to find these problems now. As for the matter of the lord's worries about the military rations, it is also easy to do, and General Cai Zhong has always respected the lord the most, and he will inevitably arrive as soon as he hears the news. Now that the time is calculated, it will be in the past two days. As long as the lord appeases him a little, when General Cai's army arrives tomorrow, this difficult matter will be solved! Kuai Yue considered his tone, sandwiched the words of exhortation that Liu Biao couldn't listen to for a long time, and said it in one go.

"Hearing Mr. Wen's words, it made a certain person feel like he was suddenly opened." Liu Biao, who was dredged by Kuai Yue, was a little clearer after this incident, but he also listened to it, and his mood was much better, and he said: "It's okay! Mr. is the mastermind of a certain person, and he was anxious about state affairs before, and he neglected Mr. a lot. Now that I think about it carefully, Mr.'s words are really the words of the old man seeking the country. That's right, Cai Zhong is very obedient, after listening to a certain military order, he will inevitably come to the rescue at full speed, and it only takes one day to solve the crisis, and the current situation is really a lot of thought. Well, also, if Lu Bu and Qin Xu really have this idea this time, as long as they withdraw their troops to Xiangyang, return to Huangzu, and return to Jiangling, they don't care about it. ”

"The lord is wise! Such a big thing can be accomplished, and a great cause can be expected! Kuai Yue shook his head to the ground and said very respectfully. It's just that on the buried face, the look of disappointment and guilt, Liu Biao can't see it. (To be continued......)
