"General, our army has been without food for several days, and now all the food and grass is not enough for a day, and the soldiers can't eat enough, how can they fight?"

"The general should withdraw his troops."

"Withdraw your troops."

The generals in the hall all stared eagerly at Wen Ping, Wen Ping touched his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "This will have a way, didn't Jiangxia transport the first batch of grain from the waterway?" The transportation of that grain to the public security is also a drop in the bucket, and we will intercept it, which is enough for five days, and within five days, we must open the road to Xiangyang. ”

"Steal your own food?"

The generals in Jingzhou looked at each other, and suddenly heard a sound of "swish", Wen Ping pulled out his sword, and inserted a sword on the desk, the hilt of the sword trembled, Wen Ping looked at the generals with cold eyes, and said sharply: "Who dares to say that the army has cut off food, or spread the news that the prince ordered the withdrawal of troops, don't blame the general for being ruthless under the sword." ”

Wen Ping has no choice, instead of destroying his 100,000 army, it is better to supply 50,000 people with grain and grass and fight to the death.

In Jiangling City, Liu Zhang was discussing the defense with the generals, and a military general bowed to Liu Zhang in the hall: "My lord, Jiangdong's youngest son Sun Ce, after returning to Wu County, collected grain and grass everywhere, gathered 100,000 land and water troops in Chaisangkou, and Zhou Yu practiced day and night, with bad intentions. When the Jiangdong army enters Jiangling, they will cross Jiangjin and cross, and we should take strict precautions......"

Just then, a soldier broke in from the outside.

"Report, Jingnan Urgent News, Liu Qi's new female official Fan Lixiang burned tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass in Changsha Youxian County, and the 100,000 troops of the Jingzhou Army ran out of food."

As soon as the words fell, the generals of the Sichuan army changed color one after another, and they exchanged their heads and ears, Fa Zheng was stunned, he never put Fan Lixiang in his eyes, whether she was the Guiyang Taishou of the Sichuan army, or took refuge in Liu Qi, Fa Zheng felt that it would hurt the overall situation, but he didn't expect to do such an earth-shattering thing for the Sichuan army.

Thinking of the consequences of the cutting off of food and grass in Jingzhou, Fazheng, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, he never believed that Fan Lixiang would surrender, he had been waiting to see what Fan Lixiang wanted to do, originally thought that Fan Lixiang was going to Taoguang to raise obscurity, and when Liu Qi was on a dead end, he would fight back, but he didn't expect this woman to take the initiative to attack, it seems that he still underestimated her.

"What is the situation in Jingnan now, and what is the situation in Fan Lixiang?" The grain and grass are gone, Liu Qi's 100,000 army is like fish and meat in the sand, Liu Zhang is now more concerned about Fan Lixiang's safety, the woman with a charming face and can always reveal at least two meanings in her eyes, Liu Zhang doesn't want her to have any accidents.

The soldier said: "Jingnan is in turmoil, the four counties of Jingnan because of the Jingzhou army looting grain and grass, the people are not happy, touching the people's grievances, and now the four counties have a civil uprising, especially Wuling, the second day when the grain and grass in Youxian County were burned, Wuling guarded the Liangqiao too much, and the commander Qin Ci took the lead in the rebellion, and the Jingzhou army has completely lost control of Wuling.

As for Miss Fan Lixiang, she has been missing since the grain and grass in Youxian County were burned, but Liu Qi has sent the general Wang Wei to lead troops to search and arrest her, and the current situation is unknown. ”

"Liangqiao Qin Ci took the lead in the rebellion?" Liu Zhang was half surprised, he really didn't expect this result, it seems that these two people were frightened by the massacre in Wuling, and would rather offend Jingzhou than offend themselves.

The four counties of Jingnan have not been in the hands of Liu Biao for several years, to be precise, they have not been in the hands of Liu Biao at all, until a few months ago, Liu Pan led people to force Zhang Yi into Changsha, barely controlling the three counties, in this case, Fan Lixiang under the banner of the Jingzhou army everywhere to loot grain, touching the people's resentment, of course, will provoke rebellion.

Without grace, take the people's anointing first, Liu Qi is still a little tender.

"Jingzhou's military grain and grass are burned, it must be extremely vicious, Fan Lixiang's safety is worrying, Youxian is not far from Yunmengze, I will, immediately order Gan Ning, ask Wei Wen's water thieves to cooperate, go to Yunmengze to meet Fan Lixiang, there are tens of thousands of troops on the shore of Jiangling, let Miss Fan stay in Yunmengze temporarily, wait for the situation in Jingnan to stabilize, and then return to Jingbei."

Fa Zheng strode out of the ranks, his excitement and excitement could not be concealed, and he said loudly: "Lord, Miss Fan has made great contributions, now Liu Qi's 100,000 army is no longer a concern, and Xiangyang is almost an empty city, and there are less than 20,000 defenders in Jingbei, we should immediately send troops to lay the overall situation of Jingzhou." ”

Fa Zheng bent down to bow, and the rest of the generals were also very excited, and they all came out one after another: "Please give the order of the lord, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard." ”

"Huh~~" Liu Zhang saw the excitement of the crowd, and let out a long breath, since the expedition to Jingnan, the Sichuan army seems to have been living in the haze, first the massacre of Wuling, and then the face of a strong enemy, and then Wei Yan rebelled, and left Chaisang, after Leng Bao was alone, the four counties of Jingnan surrendered.

Now there seems to be a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mist, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and it is no wonder that all the generals are full of red light.

Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoguandu are fighting each other, if the Sichuan army can take Jingbei as soon as possible and support Jingyi Erzhou, he will be the biggest prince in the world, and the military general Wenchen who follows him is also the most powerful military general Wenchen in the world, which is like a dream for the Sichuan army that was in crisis yesterday.

People who win the lottery are naturally excited, and Liu Zhang is no exception, although he is not as optimistic as the generals, even if he occupies Jingyi Erzhou, it is also a dangerous Jingyi Erzhou, and there is no place under his jurisdiction that is sincerely attached.

The lurking danger is like a dark hell, as soon as a gap is opened, all the wandering spirits and wild ghosts will roar and gush out, and then the heavens and the earth will collapse.

But after all, at this stage, he has won, and it is a big victory, Liu Zhang rarely smiled, and said loudly: "Okay, the situation in Jingnan is basically set, and the next step is Jingbei, Zhang Ren." ”

"The end will be."

"This official will allocate you 30,000 elite soldiers, take the first step, take Xiangyang directly, and after a few days, when Liu Qi's army is destroyed, this official will lead the army to join you."

"Yes."

Liu Zhang thought for a while, a little uneasy, and said: "Although Jingbei's defense is empty, you must not be careless, this is the first time you have led the troops independently after becoming a general, I don't want the generals to see an incompetent general, understand?" ”

"The last will remember the precepts of the Lord and will never fail to live up to the trust of the Lord." Zhang Ren hugged his fists and bowed.

"Yes." Liu Zhang nodded, and said to the generals: "The grain and grass outside the city are cut off, and it is likely to fight back to the death, and the main city and the walled cities must be strictly guarded and must not relax." ”

"Yes."

The vast Yangtze River, with thousands of miles of blue waves, a fleet went east along the river, and this fleet was originally going west to the public security, but now it had to turn back halfway.

Because, they were robbed.

With such a huge fleet, it is impossible to be robbed by water thieves, Cai Zhong, the commander of the fleet, has a sad face, from ancient times to the present, there is no one more unlucky than him, who was robbed by his own army.

The fleet had just sailed to Qingshui Ferry, and suddenly a fleet came out in front, under the banner of the Jingzhou army, after crossing the interface, those Jingzhou soldiers asked to board the ship, Cai Zhong didn't think about anything, so he allowed it, but he didn't expect those Jingzhou soldiers to say anything, so they restrained their sailors, and then moved the grain on the ship to their own ship, and moved it completely.

Cai Zhongkan's heart ached, originally after transporting grain, the ship would also transport some Jingzhou soldiers back to Jiangxia, because he couldn't carry it all, he just extorted those soldiers and generals for a sum of money, whoever paid more money would carry whomever he wanted.

As for Liu Qi, it must not be carried, although Liu Biao has ordered Liu Qi to be rescued first, but Cai Mao and her sister Cai have already discussed, and let Liu Qi die in Jingnan, so that Liu Biao will only have one heir to Cai's son Liu Cong, and the heir of Jingzhou Mu is none other than Liu Cong.

But this next grain is gone, and the maintenance of his fleet has become a problem, let alone carrying people, Cai Zhong secretly hates the bold Wenpin, and has cut off his own way to make money, and when he returns to Jingzhou, he must report Wenpin's evil deeds to Liu Biao, and he really didn't wronged him this time.

Just when Cai Zhong kicked his legs and glared at him, insulting Wen Ping, the surrounding reeds suddenly poured out of the fast boats, one after another, large and small, more than ten people, less than three or five people, each wearing a strong bow and a hard crossbow, approaching the Jingzhou naval army.

"Water thieves?"

The Jingzhou soldiers were shocked, this time, they really met the water thieves.
