Chapter 993: The Dispute over the Grain Governor

"Shao Bucai, thanks to the trust of the public and others, and promoted as the leader of the alliance, he must be rewarded for meritorious service, and he will be punished for his crimes. However, as the saying goes, the state-owned country and the French army have military discipline, and you must abide by military discipline and do not violate it! ”

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, everyone's expressions suddenly froze, and they were a little unhappy with his behavior of starting to play prestige as soon as he became the leader of the alliance. However, if you are not happy, everyone still said in unison: "We remember, we only obey!" ”

Zhang Miao's expression changed, and he said: "Alliance leader, the army is stationed in sour dates, and the daily grain needs are very heavy. ”

When this issue was mentioned, everyone's expressions remained the same, but their thoughts were different, especially Sun Jian was the most sensitive.

According to the history that Yiren said, it was time for Yuan Shao to appoint his younger brother Yuan Shu as the governor of grain and grass, and then he was pitted by Yuan Shu because of the lack of grain and grass.

Just when Sun Jian's face was changing, he only heard Yuan Shao continue: "Brother Meng De is Chen Liutaishou, he is the host, Brother Meng De has placed the army properly in the past ten days, I have never seen any omissions, I think it is appropriate for Brother Meng De to serve as the grain supervisor, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao's expression changed when he heard this, and he secretly said something bad in his heart.

This overseer sounds imposing, but in reality it is not a good job. Although the princes provided a lot of food, looking at the current situation, they will definitely not be able to support it until the end of the discussion, that is to say, the grain and grass are insufficient!

In this case, there will inevitably be someone who will not be able to allocate enough grain and grass, which means that no matter what the grain governor does, he will definitely offend some of the princes!

If you lose the battle again because of the lack of food and grass, wouldn't it be the grain overseer who bears the blame? But the grain governor only has the right to distribute grain, and he has no right to go to the princes' territories to collect grain, and if he wants to ensure that the food supply of the army is sufficient, he can only stick his own book, and he may not have merit if he wins, and he must be guilty if he loses, and Cao Cao naturally does not want to take this kind of unlucky errand.

"The leader of the alliance is graceful, he is talented and despised, and he is exhausted when he places the heroes in the land of sour dates, and he is really unable to take on the heavy responsibility of supervising the grain officer.

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "Brother Highway has both ability and political integrity, and he is also the brother of the alliance leader. As the saying goes, the brothers who fight the tiger go into battle with the father and son, the leader of the alliance serves as the leader of the alliance, and the brother of the highway serves as the grain supervisor. ”

In fact, as early as when Yuan Shao proposed Cao Cao to serve as the grain supervisor just now, Yuan Shu's face was gloomy as if he could drop ink. According to the tacit agreement between the two brothers, Yuan Shu supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and in return, Yuan Shao would hand over the post of grain governor to him.

Cao Cao thought that the grain supervisor was a drudgery behind the blame, but Yuan Shu didn't think so.

According to historical records, Yuan Shu's personality is "a good ranger". What is Ranger? To put it simply, it's a gangster, what do gangsters care about the most? Naturally, it's face!

Although the grain inspector is actually a relatively pitty position, he is in charge of the "governor's army of food and grass", which sounds so majestic! Yuan Shu thought that he had no hope for the position of the leader of the alliance, so he never forgot the grain overseer. Just now I heard that Yuan Shao was going to hand over the grain supervisor to Cao Cao, and he almost flipped the table on the spot, until Cao Cao's face improved slightly after he resigned.

Yuan Shao listened to Cao Cao's words and looked a little hesitant.

He sounded majestic as the leader of the alliance, but in fact he had to take into account the interests of all parties at all times, otherwise the alliance would dissolve in an instant. Although there are many princes, there are not many who can really fight, and the one who can fight and listen to the words of the alliance leader is probably Sun Jian himself.

The rest of Shang Ji, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other really combat-effective princes Yuan Shao could not be commanded! Sun Jian became the key figure that Yuan Shao had to woo.

To appoint Yuan Shu as the grain governor, Yuan Shao must fully consider Sun Jian's opinion.

Yuan Shu still has a bit of brains, and he immediately understands the problem. But after thinking about it, I was a little annoyed.

First, he was annoyed that Yuan Shao was not trustworthy, and the grain supervisor who said that he was good procrastinated; The second is that he is annoyed that Sun Jian does not trust himself. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have secretly formed an alliance, one south and one north jointly encroaching on Liu Biao's territory, and now at this critical moment, he actually doubted himself because of the "evil words" of the alien, which made Yuan Shu feel betrayed! Three k

Seeing Yuan Shu looking at him with a blank face, Sun Jian also had a headache.

Sun Jian can fight, but he is poor, lacking people, food, and soldiers. Without these three things, what if he can fight on his own? Yuan Shu is exactly the thigh he needs to hold at this stage, and he must not be offended.

But he was afraid that after Yuan Shu became the grain governor, he would really be afraid of himself and use grain and grass to harm himself. At this time, Sun Jian was in a dilemma.

Yuan Shu raised his hand a little annoyed and said, "I, Yuan Shu, swear that if there is the slightest injustice after serving as a grain governor, I will cough up blood and die!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shudu had said it to such an extent, and not expressing his stance would be tantamount to completely tearing his face, Sun Jian hurriedly said: "General Highway is fair, bold and generous, and it is very suitable to serve as a grain supervisor!" ”

Seeing Sun Jian's statement, Yuan Shao hurriedly clapped his hand and said, "Okay, since this is the case, then the highway will serve as the grain supervisor." ”

"In addition to the food overseer, the coalition army needs to have a vanguard to open up mountains and rivers for the army. Who of you is willing to take on this important task? ”

Yuan Shao smiled, looked around at everyone and asked.

As soon as Lu Bu was about to get up, he was stopped by Chen Gong next to him with a gesture in his eyes. Lu Bu shook his head depressedly and sat honestly in place.

"Zhan (Jian) is willing to be a pioneer!"

Gongsun Zhan and Sun Jian got up almost at the same time and said.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, stroked his palms and said: "The courage of the two generals has long been heard of by the alliance leader, and with the help of the two, what is the difficulty of breaking the thief?" However, one pioneer is enough, wouldn't the two generals go together to increase the prestige of Dong Thief? Why don't you take Wentai as the pioneer first, and then Bogui will take on the role when Wentai is tired of fighting? What do you think? ”

Gongsun Zhan nodded reluctantly, reluctantly agreeing with Yuan Shao's arrangement.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Yuan Shao also breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Come on, immediately build a three-story platform, cloth the flags of the five parties, make the talisman seal, and prepare to burn incense to worship heaven and earth!" ”

Yuan Shao gave an order, and the department acted quickly, and in a moment the altars, flags, and orders were ready, and it was obvious that Yuan Shao had already prepared for this efficiency.

Yuan Shao dressed and equipped with a sword, climbed the altar surrounded by everyone, burned incense and worshipped, and recited the covenant: "The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor is out of control, and the thief Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the provocation and arson, and the disaster adds to the supreme and poisons the people." Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the national disaster, all our alliances, and worked together to ............"

Shang Ji listened to it, and this covenant oath turned out to be exactly the same as in the romance, I don't know if it was a coincidence or Yuan Shao's intention.

After reading the oath, Yuan Shao took the general of the chariot and cavalry, worshiped Yuan Shu as the rear general, Sun Jian as the general of the prisoner, and officially handed over the seal letter of the grain supervisor and the pioneer officer to the two.

After Sun Jian received the letter, he said goodbye to everyone, and then led 500,000 people to go on the road in high spirits!

Looking at Sun Jian's back, Shang Ji secretly said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, arrange for people to collect military rations as much as possible, at least prepare enough military rations for our army for three months, and arrange Yangyi to transfer if you can't buy them. ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Even if the lord doesn't say it, his subordinates are about to admonish, it is difficult to make a big deal about the intrigue between the coalition forces, and the lord needs to make plans as soon as possible." ”
