Liu Xiu saw Xun Yu, Yan Zhong and others, and without much politeness, he immediately talked about his military plan for Hanzhong. He had already sent the news back in advance www.biquge.info so that Xun Yu and the others could be prepared, so at the beginning, Xun Yu first presented the results of this year's plan to Liu Xiu, and orally reported to him the economic situation in Guanzhong, especially the general situation of military food preparations.

In the past two years, displaced people have moved into Guanzhong one after another, and the total population of Fufeng and Jingzhaoyin counties has exceeded 100,000 households, 530,000 people, and nearly 50,000 hectares of cultivated land. After the income from the land rent comes, half of it will be distributed to officials at all levels as a salary, and the remaining half will be used as a reserve grain, so this year it will be able to save 300,000 koku, and with last year's, the total will be about 500,000 koku.

How much army can 500,000 stone grain supply? A foot soldier's ration for a month is one stone and eight buckets, and a year is twenty-one stones. A cavalry plus a war horse costs eight stone of grain a month, and nearly a hundred stone a year. Because there are many war horses in Guanzhong, cavalry can account for one-third of the total, so 500,000 stone grain can support 10,000 foot cavalry for three or four months of battle. If you don't use a pawn, just a pawn, the time of support will be greatly increased.

However, this is only to consider the situation of transporting grain within Guanzhong, which transports grain internally, but requisitioning the relay of local people, there is no need to provide them with food, and if it is transported over long distances, it is a different matter.

"Guanzhong has been very stable in the past two years, the people's lives have improved greatly, and most of the families have some surplus grain, if the general fights in a short period of time, he can increase the levy ratio, such as fifteen taxes and one ......" Xun Yu looked at Liu Xiu's face and didn't say any more, because he saw Liu Xiu gently shook his head.

"No, although ordinary people have some surplus food at home, it is the guarantee that they can live with peace of mind. If all that grain is collected, where will they buy food if there is any natural disaster? ”

Liu Xiu was in a heavy mood, he originally thought that the situation in Guanzhong would be a little better than in Bingzhou. But I didn't expect it to be too good to be limited. In fact, he can also understand that the state government has been implemented for five years, and it is not easy for Guanzhong to really implement the administration for two years.

If everything is peaceful and the situation continues to develop, it will take two more years, and Guanzhong will be able to surpass the state. Because there is a large amount of arable land in Guanzhong, this point cannot be solved by the state in any case. But now that Liu Yan has done such a thing, he has to use troops against Yizhou in advance, and once he uses troops, it will seriously disrupt the production in Guanzhong. Because fighting a war is not only to eat grain, but also to levy people, and if the people are requisitioned, production will be affected. Two years of ploughing and one year of grain. If you don't plow for a year, you will have zero all the accumulation of three years, that is. Guanzhong's good results in the first two years may have come to naught because of this battle, and it will return to the starting point.

"Find a way to buy food from those big households and raise as much as you can. In addition, Yizhou is mountainous, and there is no place for cavalry, so I try to bring more foot soldiers and less cavalry. ”

"The general is very worried." Xun Yu hurriedly wrote it down.

"Let's talk about the situation in Hanzhong, is the destruction of the plank road serious?"

"It's not serious." Sima Fu Xie smiled helplessly: "But the initiative is all in Liu Yan's hands. ”

"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Liu Xiu became curious. Fu Xie coughed and briefed him on the situation. Liu Yan entered Shu. He left his son, Liu Fan, at the southern end of the noon entrance, and then demolished the plank road about five hundred paces away. Five hundred paces may seem like a long way, but on a winding mountain road, it is a stone's throw away. But this arrow is enough for him to monitor the situation at the northern end of the Meridian Valley, as long as there is a strong attack or plank road repair here, then he may continue to demolish it at any time. It's better to dismantle than to repair. Therefore, if you want to enter Hanzhong through the noon pass, it is almost impossible at present.

"What about the Treasure Valley and the Luo Valley?"

"It's not demolished, but it's guarded, and it's more of a trap than a road."

Liu Xiu understood, after Wugu entered Hanzhong, there was still a long way to get to the key point of Hanzhong, Nanzheng, so Liu Yan demolished it, and sent a few people to watch, it was enough to prevent him from marching from here, and Luogu and Baoxie Valley went straight to Hanzhong County to govern Nanzheng, where the defense was tight, Liu Yan could wait for work, as soon as Ling moved here, he began to prepare, and when Ling worked hard out of the plank road, he just gave Ling a head blow.

In other words, Wugu is Ming who won't let Ling go, while Luo Gu and Bao Chuan Dao want Ling to go, because it's a trap there, just waiting for Ling to jump in.

It should be said that Liu Yan's idea is a ghost, but if it weren't for the natural barrier of Qinling, Liu Yan wouldn't have been able to use this idea.

"What then?" Liu Xiu looked at Fu Xie, and then at Xun You and Yan Zhong.

Fu Xie exchanged a look with them, bowed down and said: "General, we have discussed, there is a way, but that method is extremely dangerous, and the road is rugged, and there is no army, so we can only send two or three hundred people to attack." The movement of two or three hundred men must be extremely stealthy and can play a surprising role, so before we move, we must divert the attention of the Hanzhong defenders to other places. ”

"Ling"

Fu Xie bowed in response, reached out and dipped some wine, drew a sketch of the situation in Guanzhong and Hanzhong on the case, and began to explain the plan agreed upon by the three of them. After listening to Fu Xie's explanation, Liu Xiu smiled: "I'll do what attracts the attention of the defenders in Hanzhong." ”

……

Liu Bei sat on the city wall of Wancheng, shaking his legs boredly, with a faint melancholy in his heart. Accepting Liu Xiu's task, he came to Nanyang through Ma Lun's relationship, which was originally very good, but Yuan Shao was very polite to him and solemnly introduced him to others. He also relied on his years of hard training in martial arts and the art of war he learned from Duan Cheng, and repeatedly made meritorious achievements in the battle against the Yellow Turban, and he became one of the best generals under Yuan Shao's account.

However, after the death of the first emperor, the situation immediately changed, and the Yuan family refused to accept Luoyang's edict under the pretext that it was not the bloodline of the first emperor today, and actually raised the anti-flag. At this time, his identity as a person from the clan surnamed Liu, and who has an inextricable relationship with Liu Xiu, has become very embarrassing. Yuan Shu still respects him, but he can no longer trust him so much, although Yuan Shu doesn't say it, but Liu Bei can feel that he was unknowingly beaten into another book by Yuan Shu and was excluded from the core.

He was just a knife in Yuan Shu's hand now, and he had no way of knowing what the knife wielder was thinking. He also thought about returning to Liu Xiu's side, but when he thought that because of his words in front of Ma Lun, Liu Xiu's head almost fell to the ground, and he shuddered a little. He believed that if he abandoned Yuan Shu, then Ma Lun would definitely reveal this matter, and at that time, how would he face Liu Xiu, and could Liu Xiu forgive him?

"How so?" Liu Bei raised his hand and stroked the scar on his eyebrows: "Is it really luck?" ”

"Xuande, Xuande." Jian Yong shouted as he walked over.

Jian Yongzi Xianhe, the same year as Liu Bei, has known Liu Bei since childhood. The last time Liu Bei went back to Zhuo County to visit relatives, he saw this friend again, so he made an appointment to go to Luoyang together, in order to rush to Luoyang to report to Liu Xiu, one step ahead, Jian Yong came to Luoyang in May. At that time, the matter of blood testing has been settled, Liu Xiu's father Liu Yuanqi was crowned the king of Chu, Liu Xiu, as the king of Chu, although he still has the military position of General Wei, but he has been trapped in Luoyang, which is like dismissal. Jian Yong felt that it was boring to be a guest in the Chu Palace, so he followed Liu Bei to Nanyang. Now, he and Liu Bei are being excluded by the Yuan family, and they just comfort each other.

"Xianhe, what's the matter?" Liu Bei shook the bronze jue in his hand, patted the city wall beside him, and said with a somewhat lonely smile: "What's the use of being so busy, it's better to come and drink." ”

Jian Yong looked around, and saw that the soldiers standing guard next to him did not pay attention to them, so he walked to Liu Bei's side, stood behind him, pretended to look at the scenery outside, and said in a voice that only Liu Bei could hear: "Chang'an is here." ”

Liu Bei was startled and almost fell off the city wall, he raised his head in shock: "Yes...... He sent? ”

Jian Yong nodded, Liu was entrusted by Liu Xiu to come to Yuan Shu to do the matter, only he knew, and it was precisely because of this common secret that they became close.

Liu Xiu's shoulders moved, and he wanted to stand up, but he stopped again, bent down heavily, supported his face with his hands, and pondered for a long time. Liu Xiu asked him to come to the room, but he didn't really want to be a person at the beginning, being fine was a thing that was easy to look down on, he just wanted to find a reasonable excuse to leave Liu Xiu, and he didn't really want to pass on any situation for Liu Xiu. Now that Liu Xiu has really sent someone, does he accept the task, or does he not accept the task? If he didn't accept it, he would completely break off with Liu Xiu, even if Liu Xiu remembered the old relationship, he would not send someone to clear him, and he would not give him any more news. And he can't see any prospects here in Yuan Shu.

If this news is revealed to Yuan Shu, will I regain Yuan Shu's attention, and will he reconsider his attitude towards me in order to continue to get information from Liu Xiu? I have gained Yuan Shu's attention, wouldn't I be able to get some useful information for Liu Xiu again, so as not to break that thread? In the future, even if the incident happens, it will be able to atone for the crime.

Liu Bei weighed carefully for a long time, and finally made up his mind, he slowly exhaled a breath, jumped up, and strode towards the city. Jian Yong hurriedly picked up the wine case and the bronze lord on the city wall, and followed with a smoke. When he arrived at Liu Bei's residence, Liu Bei had already entered the study with someone from Chang'an, Liu Bei was reading a book, the man sat quietly opposite, without saying a word, Yong came in, he showed some questioning eyes, although Liu Bei didn't look at him, but seemed to guess his worries, waved his hand and said: "Xianhe is my best friend, and he is also my fellow countryman with the general of the Che Cai, you can trust him." ”
