Chapter 549: Grain and Grass
The small city closest to Bishui Pass had been captured by the vanguard army, and Luo Zhi discussed the next battle with Sun Jian.
Sun Jian said: "After this city, it is the Eternal Xiongguan Bishui Pass. I heard that Dong Zhuo sent the general Huaxiong to garrison here, and if he wants to break it, I am afraid it will be difficult. ”
Luo Zhidao: "In my opinion, we should listen to the intelligence first, fight steadily, and then attack." ”
Sun Jian shook his head and said, "No, if we can listen to his information, they will naturally be able to listen to our information." In my opinion, we should fight a quick battle, rush to Bishui Pass, and take it. ”
He tried to persuade Luo Zhi, but Luo Zhi was unwilling, and in desperation, Sun Jian had to leave temporarily.
Back in his camp, Sun Jian summoned the four generals and Sun Ce, and first asked, "How much grain and grass is there in the army?" ”
Huang Gai said: "The food can last for fifteen days, but there are not many blood crystals, I have ordered the soldiers not to use blood crystals for cultivation, and to use all of them on the battlefield to recover quickly." ”
Sun Jian said: "There is not much grain, grass and blood crystals, I am ready to go to Bishui Pass as soon as possible and take it again as quickly as possible." In Bishui Pass, there is a large amount of grain and grass, which can supplement the supplies of our army. However, Gu Xian is reluctant to be together, what do you think? ”
Sun Ce stood up and said angrily: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, and you don't want to see what he has done along the way?" From the sour date to here, which city defender was not killed by us? Which city did not break the gates of our army? Then Gu Xian might as well not be there, what do you care about them? ”
Although the four generals did not say it directly, their faces also showed the same meaning.
Sun Jian nodded and said, "Okay, the whole army is ready to set off for Bishui Pass." ”
The next day, the whole army came to the front of Bishui Pass to call for battle, Hua Xiong saw that it was Sun Jian, and he was cautious in his heart, so he asked the deputy general Hu Zhen to go down to fight.
Unexpectedly, after Hu Zhen went down, he didn't even touch Sun Jian's boots, just one of Sun Jian's ancestors, and he killed him.
Sun Jian immediately attacked the city, but when he came to the front of the city wall, before he could attack, bows and arrows fell on the city wall like heavy rain, forcing them to unable to advance.
It's right to think about it, this Bishui Pass was originally an easy to defend and difficult to attack through the ages, and there were many guards in the original, and Huaxiong later brought a full 50,000 soldiers to garrison.
How many people is Sun Jiancai?
There are twice as many soldiers defending the city as there are besieging soldiers, can this be attacked?
Even if Sun Jian and other generals killed the city wall, the others couldn't keep up with their pace, and they couldn't face tens of thousands of soldiers and several generals of the same level, even Sun Jian, who was known as the fierce tiger, was not sure if he could survive.
So, withdraw your troops!
Sun Jian withdrew his troops, stationed outside Bishui Pass, sent the war report to Yuan Shao, and at the same time urged Yuan Shu to send food quickly.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu asked Luo Zhi to become a striker with him, just to wait for today.
When he got the letter urging food, Yuan Shu laughed and said, "This guy's grain and grass have finally run out, I want to see if there is no grain and grass, how can you march and fight!" ”
From the beginning, he was not prepared to give food and grass to Luo Zhi's army.
When he opened the envelope, the smile on Yuan Shu's face converged: "No, why is it Sun Jian's food reminder letter?" ”
There was a strategist next to him who said: "Lord, maybe that Gu Xian knows that there is a gap with us, so let Sun Jian write a letter, you must not be fooled, once this grain and grass is sent, there must be a share of Gu Xian!" ”
"There is indeed such a possibility," Yuan Shu nodded, thought for a while and said, "However, according to the calculation of time, the grain and grass in Sun Jian's army are indeed running out. ”
The strategist said, "So what? Lord, don't forget, Sun Jian is the Taishou of Changsha. If we give him enough grain and grass, let him enter Luoyang, and kill Dong Zhuo, it will be really bad for us. Don't kill the hungry wolf and attract the tiger! ”
Yuan Shu is now the Taishou of Nanyang, and Sun Jian is the Taishou of Changsha, both of which belong to the nine counties of Jingzhou and can be regarded as neighbors.
It's not a great experience for a neighbor to have a man-eating tiger living there.
Yuan Shu thought about it, and this was indeed the truth, so he simply destroyed the letter, but pretended not to see it.
The grain and grass were not distributed, and the people of Sun Jian's troops were panicked, and there were gradually rumors of a lack of food.
In the small city, when Li Gongtu heard the news, he immediately rushed to see Luo Zhi and asked, "County magistrate, I just heard that Sun Jian's subordinate is short of food, do you want to send some support to our army's grain and grass?" ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhi shook his head and said, "Sun Jian is a fierce tiger, although he has few troops, his strength should not be underestimated. If he has enough food and grass, he may really be able to lay down the water pass. Therefore, even if our army has more grain and grass, it must not be given to them! ”
There are more than 11,000 people in Luo Zhi's army, and there are 10,000 fire crow soldiers, and they don't need grain and grass at all, their food and grass only need to be supplied to the remaining more than 1,000 people, so there are still a lot left.
Not to mention more, it is still no problem to supply Sun Jian's troops for a month.
But as Luo Zhi said, you can't give.
Li Gongtu is also smart, and when he heard Luo Zhi say this, he immediately understood his plan.
"The county magistrate is preparing to step on the Jiangdong Tiger to become famous!"
If even Sun Jian couldn't defeat Bishui Pass, which was captured by the county magistrate, then this time, the county magistrate would be very famous!
It's just that it can be beaten down?
Chen Gong listened from the sidelines, secretly shocked by Luo Zhi's ambition, and said: "In that case, why don't you write a letter and send it to Yuan Shu to urge food?" ”
When Luo Zhi heard this, he immediately said: "It makes sense, Sun Jian has no grain and grass there, how can we have it here?" I write immediately! ”
Chen Gong, this guy, is really a blockbuster, he didn't say anything before, but now he fills Luo Zhi's loophole as soon as he opens his mouth.
This move, on the one hand, can hide the characteristics of the fire crow soldiers who do not need food and grass, and do not need to eat, and on the other hand, they can prevaricate Sun Jian.
Sun Jian has no grain and grass, and Yuan Shu can't ask for it, so he will inevitably ask Luo Zhi to borrow grain. And this letter is an excuse to block Sun Jian.
You don't have food, do I still have it?
Although we are stationed in the city, we also need to eat and drink every day!
As for whether writing this letter will cause the news to leak and cause the morale of the army to be discouraged, Luo Zhi has no worries at all.
There are more than 1,000 people, and their strength is still very low, no matter how they are, they can still do things among their 10,000 fire crow soldiers?
As soon as the letter urging food was issued, Sun Jian heard the news with a sad face, and Yuan Shu laughed loudly, and Hua Xiong in Bishui Pass also laughed.
"Hahaha, Sun Jian is short of food, this is really God help me! Look at me when I get out, I won't leave a piece of Sun Jian's armor left! ”
As soon as Hua Xiong grabbed the long-handled broadsword, he was about to take people out to kill.
There was Li Su next to him, Zhao Cen was there, Zhao Cen stood up and was about to follow Hua Xiong, but Li Su stopped the two of them and said: "General, Sun Jian is just short of food, not without food, let's go now, Sun Jian's army still has a lot of strength!" It's better to wait for two more days, when they have nothing to eat, and they are dizzy from hunger, and then go and behead Sun Jian! ”
