"Guan Yu's crotch is thousands of miles of red rabbit horses, the green dragon glaive knife in his hand, brave and invincible, he can't serve me, it is my Sichuan army's henchmen, if it happens, I won't have the slightest mercy on my subordinates, it will be eliminated quickly, Yinping, can you face it?"

"Lord, I can persuade him, my father has always listened to me the most." Guan Yinping raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Don't be stupid, that's different, whatever you want to eat, what clothes you want, your father will satisfy you, but when it comes to loyalty, will your father listen to you? Screen...... Let's go back to Chengdu. ”

Guan Yinping finally couldn't help crying in a low voice, when he took refuge in Liu Zhang, he thought that there might be this day, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Father's loyalty, Guan Yinping couldn't be clearer, Liu Bei is alive, his father can't take refuge in anyone, Liu Bei is dead, Guan Yu will fulfill the oath of dying on the same day, the same month, the same year.

In other words, as long as the Sichuan army defeats Liu Bei, his father will definitely die.

As a Sichuan general, he was an enemy of his father, and he had to watch his father die because of the army he served, how could this helplessness not hurt his heart.

"My lord." Guan Yinping raised his head and looked at Liu Zhang: "Lord, I won't go back to Chengdu, I, I'...... Lord, I want to go to Chang'an, see my father, and persuade my father, even if it doesn't work...... May I? Guan Yinping wrung his fingers.

"To Chang'an?" Liu Zhang frowned.

"I know that now the two armies are at war, and as a general, leave ...... for personal matters"

"Okay, don't talk about it, Yinping, I'll allow you to go, but there are two conditions."

"What?"

"Now that the army is in chaos, Liu Bei has not taken good care of Guanzhong. Bandits are rampant. I asked Rong'er to pick a few barbarian female soldiers with good skills. You have to bring, second. ”

Liu Zhang looked at Guan Yinping: "No matter how you can persuade your father, unless you are willing to stay in Chang'an, you must come back to me, you understand what I mean." ”

Guan Yinping looked at Liu Zhang quietly, feeling warm and desolate in her heart, how could she not understand what Liu Zhang meant. Loyalty and filial piety are the most difficult to choose, if you choose filial piety, Liu Zhang will fulfill himself.

But if he chooses loyalty, Guan Yu will not be able to surrender to the Sichuan army, and he will have to face the tear of loyalty and filial piety.

The warm thing is that Liu Zhang thinks of it for himself, and the sad thing is that he still has to face everything by himself.

"Silver screen. Take it. ”

Liu Zhang took out a scimitar from his arms and handed it to Guan Yinping. The scabbard and handle of this scimitar are more exquisite and more luxurious than those in Guan Yinping's hand.

"This is a gift from Han Sui to serve the Sichuan Army, it is extremely sharp, didn't you dislike that scimitar at the beginning? This knife is as sharp as clay, and it is both delicate, and it is convenient to hide and carry it when you go to Chang'an...... Remember to come back. ”

Guan Yinping held the cold scabbard, the last tear dripped on it, raised his head and said to Liu Zhang firmly: "Lord, no matter what you have to face in the future, Yinping will come back." ”

Liu Zhang walked out of the big tent in Guanyinping, and Huang Yueying hurriedly walked over: "Lord, it's not good, Jingyi is in drought, and our food can't be delivered as scheduled." ”

"What?" Liu Zhang's brows furrowed suddenly, Jing Yi has had a bumper harvest for several years in a row, how can he be in a drought at this juncture.

"Lord, when he set out on the expedition, the lord expected that the grain would be supported for half a year, and then the first season of rice would be supplemented, and then until October, and the second season of rice would be supplemented, which could be supported until the beginning of spring next year.

However, this is all based on a bumper harvest, and the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and this year, Jingyi has not received a drop of water since entering May, but the temperature has continued to rise, and the drought in some places has caused locust plagues. ”

"Where's Champa rice?"

"Champa rice doesn't have much effect, it's drought-tolerant than our waterways, but it still takes two months to ripen, and the yield is definitely not as good as rice.

Even if Champa rice can make up for the army's rations, our current grain will last for two months at most, and when the output of Champa rice arrives, our grain will also bottom out. ”

Liu Zhang was a little upset, whenever he thought that he had a chance to win, he would always fly into trouble, press his forehead and ask, "Yueying, what do you think?" ”

"Raising taxes and imposing heavy taxes on first-season rice in non-disaster areas may be maintained."

"Large-scale drought, locust plague, how many non-disaster areas, and when Benhou set out on the expedition, the people of Jingyi had already donated money and grain, and many households took out the rations of the whole family to the Sichuan army, and now they are levied heavy taxes, doesn't it make the people feel cold."

"The subordinates also feel that it is not feasible, Jingyi is the foundation of our many years of operation, the people's heart and the foundation of agriculture and commerce are our hard work, if the tax is raised now, the people of Jingyi are full of complaints, and a big defeat of Liu Bei, when fighting with Cao Cao in the future, how to expect the people of Jingyi to help us.

However, popular support is available. Huang Yueying said in a deep voice.

Huang Yueying glanced at the ground, seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to make up her mind in the end: "Lord, my subordinates were inspired by the people who donated money and materials at the beginning, and there is only one way left.

We can ask Jingyi officials to mobilize the people and wealthy households in non-disaster areas to donate food to the disaster areas, and the people are sympathetic, especially now that Jingyi is harmonious, and the people are willing to contribute to the prosperity of Jingyi, many people will more or less take out some food, from which we can intercept the flow and use it as military rations.

In this way, it not only unites our Jingyi, but also solves the problem of military rations, and will not cause public resentment. ”

"What?" Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yueying in disbelief: "Intercept donations? Do you know the consequences of doing this? If it is exposed, our army will completely lose the support of the people, and once its credibility is lost, it will never be able to regain it. ”

Huang Yueying said: "This Yueying knows, but we don't have to wait for him to be exposed, as long as the grain is shipped out of Hanzhong, we will directly announce it to the world, and say that the donation is intercepted, and the lord will be responsible for the deployment of donated materials, and the officials will be beheaded all over the house."

In this way, with only an outlet for the people's grievances, the matter can be calmed down, and the grain shipped out of Hanzhong cannot be transported back, and the problem of military rations will be solved. ”

Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't finish speaking, Huang Yueying leaned down and bowed: "Lord, Yueying knows that this move hurts the heavens and reason, but our army will be able to defeat Qinchuan immediately. If he reorganizes the army to the north in the future, why not the people of Jingyi?

Lord, morality cannot be used as the only criterion, as the lord, the lord must know what is really beneficial, not only for the Sichuan army, for the great cause of the lord, but also for the people.

When the interruption continues to suffer from its chaos, today the donation is intercepted, which hurts the heavens and reason, but for the sake of greater loss in the future, please think twice. ”

"Yueying, is there any other way?" Liu Zhang was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out a sentence.

"Lord ......"

"Yueying, taking advantage of other people's kindness is the most despicable behavior of Benhou, not to mention the people who just donated food and materials to the Sichuan army?"

Liu Zhang raised his voice steeply, looking at Guan Yinping's tent, the girl who monitored his original intention was still in the tent, was he going to betray his original intention?

For the survival of the army, for the victory of a great war, in order to save more lives, he can kill some innocent people, but how can he convince himself when he puts deception on so many good people?

Some evil is closed by a floodgate, and once opened, the demons in the heart will gush out.

Huang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief: "What should be thought, Yueying has already thought about it, there is a more harmless way, now that the combat personnel of our army have been halved, as long as those seriously injured who can no longer go to the battlefield are ...... The subordinates knew that the lord would not do this.

The lord can remove the cancer of the world with a heavy hand, but he is merciful to the people and soldiers. Now there is only one last option, a quick solution. ”

"A quick fix? Qinchuan is dangerous, can it be captured in a short time? ”

Huang Yueying shook her head: "Zhuge Liang is well defended, our army has been attacking, but it is difficult to move an inch, a few days ago, the deputy military division of the Liang army Pang Tong arrived, and there were 10,000 soldiers and horses allocated by Chang'an and 20,000 soldiers and horses allocated by Liangzhou, a total of 70,000. It is basically impossible to break through in a short period of time.

However, before he came down, Wei Yan came to me, knowing that our army's food and grass were unsustainable, he advised a strategy, Wei Yan was stationed in Hanzhong for more than a year, and found a road, the Meridian Valley trail that Emperor Gaozu walked when he entered Hanzhong. ”

"Meridian Valley? Wei Yan wants to attack Chang'an? Liu Zhang was shocked, but Wei Yan still offered this strategy.

Huang Yueying nodded: "Meridian Valley leads directly to Chang'an, and now Guan Yu leads the army into Lantian to deal with Fazheng, Mi Fang is stationed in Hangu Pass, Chang'an guards the emptiness, and after transferring 10,000 troops to Qinchuan, it is even more like an empty city."

As long as Wei Yan successfully enters Chang'an, he will be able to occupy the important place in Guanzhong, and if Chang'an is lost, the rear of Qinchuan will be unstable, and Zhuge Liang will definitely be defeated. But. ”

Huang Yueying frowned: "This move is very difficult, the terrain of the Meridian Valley is dangerous, and now it is the rainy season, once the heavy rain is pouring and the mountain road is impassable, the army will be trapped."

If it was discovered by Guan Yu, who was stationed in Chang'an, it would not take too much, only one or two thousand people would be able to ambush all Wei Yan's soldiers and horses in the mountains.

Even if it is in Guanzhong, if Chang'an is occupied, now the Yongzhou clan is basically gathered in Chang'an, Mi Fang Guan Yu returns to the army, it is difficult for Wei Yan to hold Chang'an, if the battle is defeated, the lone army is deep, and the food and grass are not enough, Wei Yan will not be able to come back. ”

"Harvest and adventure always go hand in hand."

"It's not the biggest adventure." Huang Yueying said: "Lord, have you thought about it? If we bet all on Wei Yan, once Wei Yan is unsuccessful, two months later, our army will run out of food, and there will be no way back. ”

………………

In the Liangjun barracks, Pang Tong sat next to him, Zhuge Liang looked at the letter sent by Liu Bei, the letter was full of words of comfort to Zhuge Liang, symbolic demotion, retention, fines for three months, and continued to be in charge of the army.

Zhuge Liang put down the letter, brushed away the melancholy, and said to Pang Tong with a smile: "Shiyuan is really a bright lucky star, this time not only Shiyuan came, more than 30,000 reinforcements came, and God gave us 100,000 troops for nothing."

It has been reported that Jingyi has been hit by a severe drought and a large-scale locust plague, and the first crop of rice grains has not been harvested. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
