"General, it must be the general's men and horses who are scared and smell your prestige, this is here to curry favor." Lu Weihuang hurriedly got up and clenched his fists. In Yuan Shao's army, the gap between the two is too big, and now that they have the opportunity to pat themselves on the back, of course they will not be polite.

After listening to Lu Weihuang's words, Yan Liang burst into laughter, and then looked at Gao Ran and said, "General Gao, what do you say?" ”

"This..."Gao Ran first pondered, and then said: "Yanmen County Shou Jia Xu, this person is scheming, I was in his plan at the beginning, and this became the sword in his hand, fighting with the Hun rebels." Now they are going to show favor again, I really don't know. ”

"I don't know? I think you're scared. Listening to Gao Ran's words, Yan Liang said with a mocking expression.

To say that in Yuan Shao's army, Gao Ran also has a certain status, although the force is far inferior to Yan Liang, but its influence is also not small. Wenchen calculates each other, and the generals are the same, and they are also comparing. Just like last time, Yan Liang wanted to help Hu Chuquan to quell the rebellion, but the most important task was robbed by Gao Ran.

Because of this, Yan Liang was unhappy. Now that he sees Gao Ran's defeat, he finally has the opportunity to be sarcastic, how can he let it go?

Gao Lan sat on the top of his position, and when he heard Yan Liang's sarcastic words, he immediately raised his head angrily and said, "General Yan, you don't have to do this to me. Let me ask you, I have been to the city of Yinguan before, and because of the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves, they have not much grain and grass left in the army, and now where did they get the food to give us? Isn't that something to be doubted about? ”

Gao Ran has suffered Jia Xu's loss, so he naturally has to be much more careful in dealing with it. So although his rhetorical question was very reasonable, Yan Liang shook his head in disregard and said, "What's the doubt about this." It is said that in the past two years, there has been a bumper harvest of grain and grass in the Bingzhou area, and it is likely that these grains and grasses were sent by Zhang Chao. ”

Yan Liang's answer also has its own reasoning, and he didn't know how to justify it, so he had to twist his head and say: "Okay, I'm just guessing, I'd better wait for Na Jia Xu to come and see what he says." ”

The three of them didn't wait long, Jia Xu took Huang Zhong and others to Yuan Shao's camp and met Yan Liang and others.

In the big tent, Yan Liang saw Jia Xu, and naturally saw Huang Zhong who was following, seeing that everyone was over forty years old, he first felt a burst of contempt in his heart, and after hearing Jia Xu say that Huang Zhong himself was just the chief of the city guard of Changsha County, he laughed uncontrollably.

"Hahaha, what kind of famous family am I, it turns out that I am just a little captain who guards the city. It seems that the so-called general's subordinates are also unavailable. Yan Liang laughed heartily as he spoke, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

In this regard, Huang Zhong stood by Jia Xu's side and did not react at all. It's as if it's not him.

Jia Xu shook his head lightly when he saw Yan Liang laughing. It wasn't until the other party's laughter gradually stopped that he clasped his hands into fists and said, "General Yan, what happened before was that General Gao Ran was defeated and incompetent, and it has nothing to do with us. The facts have also proved that we did not embarrass him, including any of Pastor Yuan's subordinates, and we are not embarrassed either, which must be not wrong. ”

"Wait, what makes me defeated and incompetent, it is clearly because the grain and grass have been taken away, which has shaken the hearts of our army." Gao Ran heard Jia Xu's evaluation of himself, and naturally said very displeased.

It was Yan Liang who stretched out his hand to restrain Gao Ran's defense and said, "What's the hurry, listen to Mr. Jia's words." ”

Seeing that Yan Liang really stopped Gao Lan, Jia Xu was overjoyed. It seems that the information obtained by the Tianyan Organization is correct, and these two generals are indeed suspicious. If that's the case, the rest of the matter will be much easier. He immediately bowed, hugged him and said, "General Yan, I don't want to explain what happened before, I believe you must know better than anyone what the result is." This time I came to represent sincerity, knowing that the general was coming from afar, I specially prepared 20,000 stone of grain to show my sincerity. ”

"20,000 stone of grain, where did you get so much? I remember that a while ago, weren't there a shortage of food in your Yin Pavilion City? Don't say that this is sent by your general. Hearing that there was so much food at once, Gao Ran was not happy. When I wanted to enter Tuoketo City, I only had a bag of grain at that time, and this bag was too big compared to 20,000 stones.

"No, it's not the food sent by the general. I am also unable to make any distribution of my own food. Jia Xu shook his head and said.

"Oh? It's not the general's food, so where did it come from, didn't it fall from the sky? Hum! When Gao Ran asked about this, he already sneered twice.

Yan Liang also stood aside and watched, he didn't mean to interject in Gao Ran's questioning of Jia Xu's words, he also wanted to see how the other party would answer.

Jia Xu was questioned, there was indeed no trace of panic on his face, but as soon as Gao Lan's voice fell, he let out a long sigh, "It's a good thing to have food, and I just ask General Yan and General Gao to accept it." As for where it comes from, it's better not to ask. ”

"How can you not ask? I think Mr. Jia did something because he was afraid of our army. Gao Ran still sneered.

Yan Liang was even more interested at this time, if it was really Jia Xu and they were afraid, he also had to consider whether to directly push the army over and occupy the Yin Pavilion City first.

It was Jia Xu, who was questioned by Gao Ran, who had no way to retreat, and a visible hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Gao Ran and said, "General Gao, do you have to say it?" ”

"Of course." Gao Ran felt that he had gained the upper hand, and at this time it was the time to suppress Jia Xu and let out a bad breath, how could he stop like this.

Under Gao Ran's persistence, Jia Xu had to sigh and said: "Okay, even if General Gao must know the origin of his food, then I will talk about it." ”

"Okay, let's talk, let's talk." Gao Ran wanted to see Jia Xu make a fool of himself.

Knowing Gao Lan's thoughts, Jia Xu had disdain in his heart, but he said with certainty: "That's the case, General Gao should still remember the 100,000 stone grain that was robbed by the Yellow Turban Thieves before." These 20,000 stones are among them, and I used my troops to find out where they were resting, and launched an encirclement and suppression, although I won, but I only captured so much of them, thinking that this is your thing, so I hurriedly sent it, and so on. ”

Jia Xu said with a helpless look. But after saying this, Gao Ran's face was indeed very ugly.

I thought I wanted to make Jia Xu ugly and expose the truth that they were afraid of their own army. Who would have thought that it was indeed himself who made a fool of himself, although the 100,000 stone grain was not lost by his hands, but it was inseparable from him, and now that the scandal was raised, how could he have a good face.

And General Lu Weihuang, who was on the side of Gao Lan, was overjoyed when he heard that it was 20,000 of the 100,000 that had been lost.

This time, he lost 100,000 stone of grain, and Yuan Shao was going to punish him. Later, Tian Feng said that before the war started, he beheaded the general, which was unfavorable to the army, so he was left with his life. But he also knew that he had to make meritorious contributions, otherwise, with Yuan Shao's character, he was afraid that this time the matter would have to be settled sooner or later.

Now it's okay, 100,000 stone grain has been snatched back 20,000, although not all, but it is also a good thing, and it can also eliminate some of Yuan Shao's anger.

Gao Ran and Lu Weihuang, after the two generals heard this, one had an ugly face, and the other had eyes full of hope. And Jia Xu saw all this in his eyes, so he continued to say: "Hate only hate, our troops are too small to completely exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves, otherwise, we may be able to grab more food." ”

"Oh, is there more food in their hands? In that case, I wonder if we can go and snatch it back? Lu Weihuang, who was eager to make up for his work, asked urgently.

Lu Weihuang, who finished asking these questions with an excited face, only then did he think that Yan Liang was still on the side, so he immediately took a step back with a look of panic.

This should have been said by Yan Liang, but now it was preempted by Lu Weihuang, which is unruly. Fortunately, as a military general, he didn't care much about these small things, he just glanced at Lu Weihuang with displeased eyes, and then faced Jia Xu and said: "Yes, if the general's troops are insufficient, I think we can do this for us." ”

"Oh? Does General Yan really want to go into the mountains to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thief? The terrain there is complicated, there are many mosquitoes, and the environment is not very good. Jia Xu pretended not to be surprised.

"It doesn't matter." Yan Liang smiled and said, "Is there a war? It's just a determination to die, but it's okay because the environment is bad, it's not a problem. By the way, Mr. Jia wouldn't be worried about anything. ”

Yan Liang's last question made Chong Jia Xu shake his head again and again: "How is it possible, I just kindly reminded me." That is General Yan's insistence on this, and we should cooperate with ourselves. It's just that after the last time we were attacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves, we didn't have much food, so..."

Without waiting for Jia Xu to finish speaking, Yan Liang already said: "It's easy to say, let's use our own food." It's just for the convenience of suppressing thieves, and I'm afraid that Mr. Jia will have to provide convenience when the time comes. ”

"It's easy, I'll open the door for the general." When Jia Xu finished saying this, he had already bowed down and clenched his fists. And at this time, if someone can see his expression, they will definitely be surprised to find that it is a happy face.

With 20,000 stone of grain, the attention of Yan Liang's 50,000 army was diverted, from dealing with Zhang Chao to exterminating the Yellow Turban Thieves, no matter how you look at it, this battle is cost-effective.

Perhaps, Yan Liang still wanted to destroy the Yellow Turban Thief first, and then turn around to deal with Jia Xu, but he was destined to not be able to complete this task, because the person who played the Yellow Turban in the mountains was not the real Yellow Turban, but the well-trained infantry led by General Tai Shici.

Yan Liang thought that he could destroy the Yellow Turban first, and he was begging Jia Xu, but he really didn't know that he had fallen into a plan, and in the next half a year, he was restrained by Tai Shici in a circle in the mountains, and the soldiers and horses in his hands also changed from the original 50,000 to less than 30,000 later, and finally had to prepare to return disappointed. At this time, the troops were insufficient, and his morale was low, and he couldn't do anything about Jia Xu. But at this time, it was too late to retreat, and in front of the smart Jia Xu, he still had to make a mistake, and even became an excuse and a sinner for the start of the war. Of course, all this is an afterthought.

Yan Liang entered the mountain, and Jia Xu reported the situation to Jinyang City.

After learning about Jia Xu's plan and the actual situation in the Shepherd's Mansion, Zhang Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, what a Wenhe, the method he came up with is really wonderful." So that the north side can sit back and relax. ”

Zhang Chao, who was very relieved of Jia Xu's personal ability, after learning about the incident in Yanmen, he put his mind at ease and focused on the economic development of Jinyang City.

Zhang Chao knew very well in his heart that Jia Xu's method was nothing more than to avoid the disaster and go away, and drink to quench his thirst.

Such an approach can only solve a temporary problem, but it cannot solve a long-term problem. He and Yuan Shao are destined to have a fight. Even in order to accomplish his great deeds, he may need to fight all the princes.

In the end, victory on the battlefield is to destroy the enemy is the most successful magic weapon, and if you want to do all this, you need to do your own strength.

After two years of hard work, the population of the state has more than tripled. With so many people all at once, the pressure on him is even greater. And if you want to feed more soldiers, you need more money. In this way, how to develop the economy has become the top priority at present.

Land reclamation is only able to fill one's stomach, and only when business development can accumulate more wealth and do more things. Zhang Chao, who knows this truth well, began to contribute to business development with his eyes and thoughts that are higher than many people.
