Chapter 50: Borrowing Grain

Damn, there is no such fierce man as Xu Rong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms I watched before, Chen Qiong sat on horseback and rushed in the direction of Nanyang. If you don't catch up, you can't do it, since Qiao Mao picked a head and called on the princes of the world to raise troops to fight Dong, Yunqi responded from all over the world, among which the most famous roads in history were Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, who fled all the way from Luoyang to Cao Cao, who gathered several generals such as Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Cao, with nearly 5,000 soldiers.

As for the powerful faction Zhang Miao at this time, his reputation is not obvious.

The reason why Chen Qiong scolded her mother was because Dong Zhuo's rebel soldiers and horses came too quickly, and his general Xu Rong led 12,000 soldiers and horses, galloped Yuzhou in the starry night, and defeated Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan, and the newly appointed Yuzhou Mu Kongling was about 13,000 people. Li Min and Kong Ling were also boiled alive in boiling water. Nimei, the people of this era are too cruel. It is said that the city of Zhiyang in Yuzhou County is not so easy to break, and the army under Yuzhou Mu is not comparable to the Yellow Turban Rebellion that fought before, Xu Rong only had less than half a month to capture it, either Kong Zhou was too stupid, or Xu Rong was too powerful.

"Gongda, how can you be so sure that Xu Rong will attack Yuan Shu in Nanyang first? Judging from the map, it is not far to Nanyang than Qian County and Runan. Chen Qiong glanced at Xun You, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, with some unease.

"Lord, the reason is very simple, Yuan Shu is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, and he is famous, not comparable to the lord. Dong Zhuo put aside the more threatening Yuan Shu and didn't fight, and came to attack the lord who had not directly raised the anti-Dong banner, so why bother. Xun You explained.

"That's right, okay, no matter who this Xu Rong is, since he wants to oppose Dong Zhuo, then he can't be afraid of war, since I went to Yuan Shu, he will take care of this military ration, this battle is much better to fight in Nanyang than to fight in Qianjun and Runan." Chen Qiong smiled, worthy of being a celebrity of this era, with this Xun You's help, Chen Qiong, who originally knew a little about this era, felt much clearer.

"The lord is wise." Xun You nodded, if he changed Yuan Shu, he would definitely not say such shameless words, and with Yuan Shu's heart, I am afraid that he would not defect to others lightly. But Chen Qiong in front of him does not have this awareness, there are benefits to make a sum of money first, so heavy and honest, with a thick face and a black heart, he has much potential compared to Yuan Shu.

As usual, Chen Qiong left 3,000 soldiers and horses in Qian County and let Pei Yuanshao take charge of the house. With more than 5,000 people from Runan Liu Yi taking care of each other, there should be no problem in self-preservation. If the war does not go well, you can also return to Qiao County to continue recruiting.

In order to prevent Sun Jian from arriving in Nanyang first, Chen Qiong hurried all the way and arrived outside Nanyang City almost at the same time as Sun Jian's troops, because the two sides did not ventilate in advance, and the battle clouds were dense for a while, and the atmosphere was tense.

"A certain Changsha Sun Jian, who is coming, why did you bring troops here?" In the midst of the opposing army, a horse rode out, and the person who came was burly and strong, with a resolute face, a big red cloak, and a red turban wrapped around his head.

Ni Mei's is even more sassy than Lao Tzu, and so is the red turban, why don't you make a green one, Chen Qiong smiled maliciously in her heart.

"It turned out to be the Jiangdong Tiger, and it was really better to see it than to hear it, Chen Qiong, a certain county of Chen, led his troops to Nanyang today, just to discuss with the later general Yuan Highway how to attack Dong Zhuo." Chen Qiong also said in a rough voice.

"It turned out to be Chen Taishou, who shook Runan and swept away hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves in Yuzhou, and he was really a young hero! A certain also came to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now Dong Zhuo is powerful, sitting on more than 200,000 elite soldiers in Xiliang, and the world is gathering to fight for it. Chen Taishou and I went to see Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi together, and then how about making a plan? Sun Jian heard Chen Qiong say that he was here to beat Dong Zhuo, he was moved at first, obviously he didn't expect the rumored Chen Qiong to be so young, and then his face was overjoyed and he sent out an invitation.

"I also want to join forces with Sun Taishou, but why don't you go directly to meet with General Hou, but go to see Zhang Shi?" Chen Qiong asked puzzled.

"Chen Taishou didn't know something, a certain came from Changsha. The road is far away, and he has not carried much military rations, but now Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, and the world will punish him. A certain volunteer soldier, the counties along the way should receive grain and grass, this counselor is self-assured, neither anti-Dong, nor to give a certain grain and grass. If this is the case, how can this battle against Dong continue, and a certain vow will go into the city to ask for an explanation. Sun Jian said.

"Sun Taishou is very reasonable, this counselor does not raise volunteers, as a minister of the Han family, he does not want to repay the emperor's kindness. A certain went with Sun Taishou. When Chen Qiong heard this, his face was quite indignant, and his heart was so happy that he fell, he didn't expect that Sun Jian would take the lead in this matter, looking at Sun Jian's indignant appearance, he was obviously a guy who was charging into battle, and with him in front, it was much easier to ask Zhang Jian for food and grass.

"That's very good, forgive that counselor for not daring to dismiss the public's will." When Sun Jian heard that Chen Qiong was on the same position as him, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Gongda, although I am angry at that Sun Jian, I seem to have reservations, I don't know if I think about it too much." Returning to the formation, Chen Qiong and Xun You said.

"Sun Jian, brave and brave, has many henchmen and dead soldiers. is ruthless, Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou before, died under his calculations, and the lord must be guarded against in the future. Xun You reminded in a flat voice.

"Well, but I am also one of the princes who are now fighting against Dong Zhuo, this Sun Jian has a mortal enmity with Dong Zhuo, and he will not do anything to me for the time being. In the future, pay attention to one or two, but Sun Jian is such a heroic figure, if he unites with Yuan Shu, he will take root in Nanyang in the future, and he will be a fierce opponent in my life. Chen Qiong nodded, a little vigilant about Sun Jian, Liu Yi has no ambitions, Runan and Qian County have become his lair, and spent a huge price to arrange hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans to surrender to the tun, the future direction is to control Yuzhou first, and then develop outward, if Sun Jian stays in Yuzhou, it will be a huge threat to him.

On the grounds of maintaining order in Wancheng, Zhang Zhi asked Chen Qiong and Sun Jian to temporarily set up camp near Wancheng. For the time being, he supported two grain and grass, but he refused to maintain the needs of the two armies to move north. For Chen Qiong's request, Zhang Zhi's impression was even worse, Ni Mei's, Sun Jian didn't care, he rushed over from Changsha, it was indeed a long way, and it was understandable to ask for some grain and grass. But Chen Qiong and himself are both from Yuzhou, and they are embarrassed to borrow grain from Lao Tzu. Do you look like a good old man?

If every army and horse from the south begged him for food, would he have to live this life?

Unable to borrow food, Chen Qiong and Sun Jian broke up unhappily and returned to the camp. In the next two or three days, Chen Qiong stayed in the barracks, and she didn't see any movement from Sun Jian, but she heard that Sun Jian sent some gifts to Zhang Jian every day. Until the third day, after receiving Sun Jian's invitation, Chen Qiong took Xu Chu and a few other entourages to Sun Jian's military camp. However, at the gate of the camp, he unexpectedly ran into Zhang Shi.
