"What? Let me go?! Sun Qian was stunned, he was holding the heart of death, and before he died, he just wanted to get a whole corpse, but now that the summit is rotated, there is a 360-degree turn, not only does he not have to die, but he will be released? How could this not surprise Sun Gan, but surprise Sun Qian still knows how to conspire, he knows that there is no free lunch in this world. "You don't want me to be a spy under my lord, do you?!" Sun Gan looked at Liu Mang and Liu Ye very vigilantly, although he didn't have to die, which made Sun Gan very happy, but he would not betray Liu Bei, "If you think so, then it's better to die of this heart!" Please kill my Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou! Sun Qian shook his head violently and said.
"Hehe" Liu Mang really glanced at this Sun Gan, although his character is not very good, and his ability is not very good, but at least this person is a person who is really loyal to Liu Bei, compared to some people who are superficial, but in fact they are much better.
"Mr. Sun Qian, you are too worried! This king will not let Mr. Sun Qian go undercover, this is an insult to this king, and these two are also an insult to Mr. Sun Qian! This king doesn't have any conditions for Mr. Sun Qian, he just wants to let Mr. go. "Liu Mang is very generous, originally he wanted to get the 20,000 stone of grain and grass by holding Sun Gan, but now that the 20,000 stone of grain and grass is gone, this Sun Qian has no effect.
"Thank you so much, His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Sun Qian was suspicious and hugged his fist towards Liu Mang.
"But!" Liu Mang suddenly turned around, which made Sun Qian's heart feel disdainful for a while, and sure enough, there are still conditions! "Is it true that the king has broken his word and gained weight? If that's the case. I, Sun Qian, also admit it. Kill my Sun Qian! "Sun Qian's appearance is very tough now.
"Mr. Sun Qian. I said that if I let Mr. go, I wouldn't hurt him in the slightest, but now is not the time to let him go! Liu Mang shook his head and smiled at Sun Gan and said, "If I release Mr. in public now, Mr. will have to go back to Runan, and he will have to go back to General Zuo?!" ”
"This!" Sun Gan thought about it carefully, yes, if Liu Mang put Sun Gan back openly, Sun Gan really wouldn't be able to go back to Liu Bei's command, after all, you are a captured person. I didn't suffer any injuries, I didn't have anything, and I came back with a swagger, who would believe it!
"So Mr. Sun Qian can't help it!" Liu Mang suddenly laughed, this weird smile made Sun Gan suddenly feel uneasy, and sure enough, Liu Mang shouted: "Bold Sun Qian, you dare to play this king, let this king's 20,000 stone of grain and grass burn to the ground, do you really think that this king will not dare to kill you!" ”
Sun Qian is not a stupid person, and when he saw Liu Mang's voice, he also followed the dialogue: "Pseudo-king, I want to get my lord's grain and grass and dream." I won't give him to you even if my grandson dies! "If you want to talk about acting, there is no one in the three kingdoms who is not a good actor.
"If you want to die, the king will be fulfilled for you. Come on, tie up Sun Gan and throw him into the sea of fire, and I want him to be buried with 20,000 stones of grain and grass! Liu Mang roared angrily: "Yes! Several chengguan sergeants were ordered to step forward and tie up Sun Gan, and one of them whispered to Sun Gan, "Sir, this rope is a live buckle, as long as you struggle hard, you can break free, and then we will also throw Mr. into a big post full of water, the water in it is enough for Mr. to survive the fire, and there are dozens of days of rations in the water tank!" With that, he tied up Sun Qian and pressed him towards the fire.
"Hypocrite, Liu Mang, you despicable villain, this hypocrite, you scum of the big man!" Sun Gan was thrown into a water tank while screaming and scolding, and Sun Gan's voice gradually became quieter, as if he had been executed.
Seeing that the two chengguan soldiers came back again, and the fire seemed to be bigger, Liu Ye asked, "Lord, do you really want to send this Sun Qian back?" Although Sun Qian is not descending now, Ye is sure to convince him! Liu Ye hugged his fist at Liu Mang, this Sun Qian is also a talent of a county guard, Liu Mang Yangzhou has three counties, Shouchun, Hefei, Anfeng three counties, but Liu Mang does not have three people who can govern a county, Liu Mang has great talent to govern a county, Xu Shu and Liu Ye Yang Hong are counted as one, Huang Zhong can also, but Xu Shu Liu Mang needs him to help govern the entire Yangzhou, how can he govern a county, that is really overkill, And what Liu Ye and Liu Mang need most is that Liu Ye will realize the books he brought back one by one, you must know that if his industrial zone really forms a scale, it will be ahead of the world for many years, and now there are ballistas and cement, which will bring such changes to Liu Mang's army, if some gunpowder is studied later, it will really push the world, Yang Hong needs to be responsible for the intelligence under Liu Mang's command, and he is also an indispensable person, and Yang Hong is also a diplomat of the entire Lu Bu army, Combining vertical and horizontal is where his real talent lies, you don't see, in Lujiang he pit Jiangdong Sun Ce and Jingzhou Liu Biao how much money and grain, it is precisely because of those money and grain Liu Mangjun can persist until now, if there is no money and grain in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the millions of people would have eaten Liu Mang poor.
What about Huang Zhong! It's not that Huang Zhong is not allowed to go to a county to serve as a taishou, but Huang Zhong is unwilling, he is now admitting death, he will go wherever Liu Mang goes, as for Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng and others, they want to command the army, and it is impossible to convert to civilian positions
And after getting Sun Gan, Liu Mang will be able to relax the next county, and in the future, Liu Mang's army will have a larger territory, and the more talents are needed, but Liu Mang just let Sun Gan go, even if you don't want to kill Sun Gan or persuade Sun Gan to surrender, you can leave Sun Gan behind and exchange it for grain and grass with Liu Bei.
"Ziyang, this kind of brainwashed person is the least easy to shake," Liu Ye didn't know, but Liu Mang knew how terrible those brainwashed people were, they wouldn't even want their own lives, this kind of person appeared a lot in his previous life, there were men, women and even children, and now Sun Gan is dead and wants to follow Liu Bei, that is, he is die-hard, just like a dog, even if Liu Bei treats him no matter how he does, he will not leave, so even if Sun Gan surrenders, Liu Mang has to wonder if this Sun Gan is a fake surrender, Beware of him. It's better to put it away than to put it into such a big effort.
Liu Mang finally let Sun Qian go. A Sun Qian remains in his hands, at most, the talent of a county guard. Maybe killing Sun Gan can make Liu Mang feel more comfortable, but what Liu Mang wants more is to make the enemy uncomfortable, put Sun Gan back, and want to borrow Liu Mang's knife to kill Sun Gan according to Pang Tong's series of schemes, you say that Sun Gan will give up with Pang Tong! Coupled with the previous discord between the two, Sun Gan and Pang Tong basically have no room for maneuver, either Pang Tong dies or Sun Gan dies, and Sun Gan is holding Pang Tong in Liu Bei's army. Many of Pang Tong's plans will be messed up and even counterproductive, after all, Sun Gan is not without connections in Liu Beijun, although Pang Tong is resourceful, but he only joined Liu Beijun after all, if he had already controlled the overall situation, he should have solved Sun Gan by himself, instead of using Liu Mang's knife.
Therefore, leaving Sun Gan and Pang Tong by Liu Bei's side is definitely much more meaningful for the two to fight among themselves than for Liu Mang to leave Sun Gan.
Sun Gan's matter is solved, and Liu Mang is about to worry about the problem of grain and grass in his army, "Ziyang, how much grain and grass are there in our army!" ”
"The army of food and grass is already less than 5,000 stones!" Liu Ye stepped forward to explain that as a military division of the army, in addition to being responsible for planning in the army, he was also responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the army. In addition to the commander-in-chief, the military division has the greatest responsibility.
"Less than 5,000 stones? Didn't Ziyang get more than 10,000 grains and grass on Ying? Why are there only 5,000 stone left?! "Although Liu Mang didn't get grain and grass in Ruyin, he still got a lot in Yingshang and An Fengjin.
"Lord, didn't the grain and grass have already been distributed to Shouchun's Yuan Zhi when he was on the Yingshang?!" Liu Ye flipped through the account book in his hand and said.
"Oops. I forgot! Liu Mang touched his head, he really didn't know that oil and rice were expensive, what military food and what kind of food and salary were all planned by his father-in-law, Lu Bu, he just had to passively accept it, but now he needs to dispatch, but the grain and grass are not enough at all.
"Ziyang, it will take a few days for us to hit Runan now!" Liu Mang asked Liu Ye, Liu Ye had walked through Yuzhou, and he was still very familiar with some of the terrain, so many of Liu Ye's buildings were adopted by Liu Mang.
"If the rapid march takes fifteen days, if the normal march takes more than a month!" Liu Ye explained to Liu Mang very indifferently.
"Fifteen?!" Liu Mang frowned, it would definitely not work to march in a hurry, because if the whole army marched in a hurry, how much combat strength would be left in Runan? If you are ambushed halfway, then you really can't move, so when you reach Runan, even if the two armies of Chengguan and Black Chess in Liu Mang's army are elite, it will take 20 days' trip, 20 days plus siege, and now it is Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu who is sitting in Yuzhou to defend Runan, and Guan Yu's army also has Jian Yong, these two people are not too easy to deal with, Liu Mang captured Shouchun last day, there is a reason, one is that Guan Yu wants to retain his strength, and the second is that Guan Yu has never seen a ballista, and now Runan is Liu Bei's lair, How can Guan Yu still retain his strength, he will definitely work hard, Runan is another important town, and when the time comes, he will have to attack the city for more than half a month, which adds up to more than a month.
Liu Mang's grain and grass for more than a month are not enough at all, and you must know that Yangzhou is very crisis, if Liu Mang can take Runan for more than a month, it's okay, if he can't take Runan, then if this Yangzhou has to be lost, and the Runan army has to be wiped out in the end, then everything is really over!
Originally, there was a cushion of grain and grass in Ruyin City, and the promontory model was full of tricks, and the words of the flood and the quail were a few of the tricks, and the whimsy was thrown. Generations (6) are under-wedged. Bad Bi Du than play with the scar, the scar, the weft, the neon, the pro-about about the pro-about about the apology, the perch column re-playing, the anti-glycoside Xian is the Kai Ostrich, the Hui Du is forgiven
"Let's go back to the army!" Liu Mang rubbed his head, these days for the situation in Yangzhou, Liu Mang really broke his head, his conscription order was originally well-intentioned, but in the end he did bad things, and now the three families are besieging Lu Bu, which is really a headache.
"Lord, are you going back to Shouchun?!" Liu Ye frowned and asked.
"What? Is there a problem?! Liu Mang asked, now that the grain and grass are insufficient, Shouchun is in a hurry, where will Shouchun go? Do you want to go to Lujiang? Give the whole Yangzhou away?
"Shouchun can't go!" Liu Ye came up directly and vetoed Liu Mang's idea in one sentence.
"Shouchun can't go?! Ziyang, what do you mean?! "Liu Mang is not a self-righteous person, since Liu Ye said, Shouchun can't go, so naturally there is a possibility that he can't go. Liu Mang needs to listen to Liu Ye's opinion, and after the difficulty, he will make a decision based on his own thoughts.
"My lord. If you are true now, you can return to Shouchun along the Huai River. It can solve the temporary danger of Shouchun, but what about after that? Lord, you want to know why we attacked Yuzhou?! "What can be why? Naturally, it is for grain and grass, because there are more than one million mouths to fill in Shouchun, and although there are many fertile fields under Liu Mang, they are all deserted.
"Lord, if you go to Shouchun, then this Yangzhou will really not be able to hold on, and you will have to give it up. Maybe even the lord himself can become a prisoner! "Liu Ye is not scaring Liu Mang with alarmist words, but the fact, if Liu Mang really went down the river to Shouchun, he could only temporarily relieve the crisis of Shouchun, and there were soldiers guarding the city, but what about after that? will only be trapped and die in Shouchun with the army in Shouchun City, what is most lacking in Shouchun City is grain and grass, Liu Mang's arrival is not only impossible to shoulder Shouchun, but also because the arrival of 10,000 troops makes Shouchun City miserable, if it is a field battle, then the result may be even worse. With 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and Liu Bei's white-eared heavy armor, the 5,000 Chengguan army and the 5,000 black chess army could not resist the opposite practice even if the whole army was annihilated. When the time comes, I'll really be trapped to death.
And there is no food or grass. Let's not talk about the enemy, even the people in the city will rise up to rebel, after all, you Liu Mang said before, the people who are responsible for the rations for the good land, the people came to your Shouchun for a way to live, but now there is no way to live, as long as Liu Beijun outside the city is confused again, Shouchun City may be broken. No matter how strong an army of 10,000 is, it is still a floating cloud in front of millions of people.
"But where are you going if you don't go to Shouchun?!" Liu Mang is really confused, now Runan can't fight, and Shouchun can't go, does it make Liu Mang's army stagnate? What's the difference between this and waiting for death? Now Lujiang's reinforcements have been delayed.
"Lord, let's go back to Yangzhou!" Liu Ye said to Liu Mang, this made Liu Mang even more confused, didn't he just want to know Yangzhou? Which one does this Liu Ye want to sing?
"We don't go to Yangzhou, but take a detour from Anfengjin to the Huai River upstream, and arrive at Yiyang Pingchun generation!" Liu Ye took out the map, pointed to several places on the map, and said to Liu Mang. The Yiyang Pingchun generation happened to be from the edge of the Huai River, and the grain and grass of the army must pass here.
"Ziyang, what do you mean?!" Liu Mang also gradually began to understand.
"Lord, Liu Bei can enter Yangzhou, and his army will drive straight in, yes! His fast attack on the city made the entire Yangzhou people panic, and now Yangzhou except for Shouchun and Lujiang County in our hands is either captured, or the wind has fallen! But Liu Bei also left a big flaw! Where did he get his food and grass from? Liu Ye nodded, pointed to Runan and said, "It was transported by the army sent from Runan, and the first batch of grain and grass must have traveled with the army, but what about the second and third batches?!" "You must know that there is no grain and grass in Yangzhou now, it is difficult to protect itself, and the normal siege of the city, just like Liu Mang's fight in Yuzhou is to feed the war with war, and there will naturally be grain and grass in the next city, and now Yangzhou is so poor that it is almost impossible to untie the pot, how can there be excess grain and grass for Liu Beijun, Liu Bei can not get anything else except for accepting the soldiers in the city, so the grain and grass of the army naturally need to be transported from the rear, and Liu Bei is not only using his own grain and grass now, He also generously wrapped Zhang Xiu's grain and grass, so the consumption of grain and grass must be large. And Liu Bei has now entered the Yangzhong Mansion, the battle line is very long, and his grain transportation line must also be very long, which gives Liu Mang a chance!
"We are in the Yiyang Pingchun generation just to intercept his supply of grain and grass!" Liu Ye finally said his thoughts, "As long as we take Yiyang or Pingchun, we can use the city to wreak havoc to harass Liu Bei's grain road, if he Liu Bei doesn't send an army, then we will directly swallow his grain and grass, and let his army starve to death in Yangzhou, if he sends a large army to protect the grain and grass, there are no more than 20,000, it is impossible to stop us, and it is less to come, just to swallow and eat, come more, so that we can also reduce the pressure for Yuanzhi's Shouchun, Even the grain and grass we get here can be sent back to Shouchun by water, and by that time! Liu Ye didn't say the following words, but Liu Mang knew that it would be up to Liu Bei to bear it when the time came, if Shouchun could hold on until Lu Bu's reinforcements were exhausted to Liu Bei's grain and grass, then Liu Mang would win Liu Bei's army and disperse, if Liu Bei took Shouchun before the grain and grass ran out, and then merged to attack himself later, then Liu Bei won, and Liu Mang may completely disappear from the stage of history because of this defeat.
But Liu Mang didn't have a choice, didn't he! Liu Mang stood up, "Ziyang, so let's go fight!" Liu Ye also nodded heavily. Liu Mang directly took Liu Ye's hand.
"With this victory, the Central Plains region will be invincible, if this battle is lost! Lu Bujun will disappear from this stage! (To be continued......)
