Chapter 128 Public Security Shortage of Food Sima entered the camp

The two generals brought out by Mi Yang today are Shamoke and Guan Ping.

Now he is not as big as Sun Quan, and he has countless good generals.

The ones he can rely on in the public security city, and the best ones who can protect him closely, are Guan Ping and Shamoke.

However, the quality of these two generals is no worse than Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang, whom Sun Quan selected from among the Jiangdong generals.

When Mi Yang and Sun Quan both stood up, Guan Ping and Sha Moke behind Mi Yang pulled out their long knives at their waists one after another, and confronted Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang behind Sun Quan.

Among them, because Shamoke was confident in his own strength, he took a step forward slightly and protected Mi Yang behind him.

Sun Quan's stature was already tall in the world, but compared to Shamoke, he was still a head shorter.

And although Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang's two generals are not weak in force, their height is slightly lower than Sun Quan's.

When Shamoko stepped forward, his majestic body guarded Mi Yang like a stone pillar.

In addition, his fierce and wild face looked down on Sun Quan and the three of them, so he stood forward like this, which instantly made Sun Quan and the three of them feel an invisible oppressive force.

Looking at the mountain-like Shamoke in front of him, Sun Quan's brows furrowed deeply.

Zhou Tai's bravery, he knows.

Zhou Tai's bravery is only higher than that of Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang, the two generals in front of him.

But it was such a general, but he was hit hard by the brute general in front of him.

Although according to Han Dang, Zhou Tai was distracted that night, and because of old age and old injuries, his physical function was far less strong than at the beginning, which gave Shamoke an opportunity.

But this is enough to prove that the bravery of the barbarian general in front of him cannot be underestimated.

Under such circumstances, if your own army is not there, if you rashly fight with Mi Yang because of a moment of anger, you will definitely not be able to get any good, and you may even suffer a big loss.

Thinking that his identity was very different from Mi Yang, and his life was much more valuable, Sun Quan felt that he didn't need to take the initiative to take risks.

Sun Quan has the wonder of hooking, so no matter how angry he is at this time, he can quickly control himself and calm down for his own interests.

Sun Quan's eyes as he looked at Mi Yang were full of hatred.

It was the first time in his life that he had heard the word "cunning".

Thinking of the insult represented in these two words, if he could, Sun Quan wanted to throw the Mi Yang in front of him into the cauldron to cook it.

But in the end, Sun Quan still maintained a trace of intellectual clarity.

The condensed killing machine flowed in Sun Quan's eyes, and just when everyone thought that he was going to order Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang's two generals to attack and kill Mi Yang, he surprised everyone and said to Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang:

"Back to camp."

Sun Quan's move stunned Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang.

This is not like what the Supreme used to do.

But they looked at the barbarian general who looked like a tiger and leopard on the other side, and they also understood Sun Quan's concerns in their hearts.

If you fight, the outcome is unpredictable.

It is the most important thing to quickly escort the Supreme back to the camp.

Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang escorted Sun Quan step by step, walking towards their horses.

And looking at the three Sun Quan who were retreating step by step, Mi Yang's eyes also had a murderous intent in his eyes.

If Sun Quan can be killed or even captured by this opportunity, then not only can the siege of public security be solved, but Jiangdong will also fall into civil strife from now on, and it will no longer be a threat to Liu Bei.

When Mi Yang looked at Guan Ping with inquiring eyes, Guan Ping shook his head slightly.

When Guan Yu and Lu Su went to the meeting alone, Guan Ping was beside Guan Yu, and Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang were also behind Lu Su at that time.

At that time, Guan Yu had given Guan Ping a detailed introduction to the generals behind Lu Su, and said that they were all temporary generals, so he could not be careless.

Perhaps their current strength is not weaker than theirs.

But as long as the difference is not too big, and the other side is defenseless, if the generals of the two sides fight each other, they will not be able to end the battle for a while and a half.

And the Jiangdong army is a hundred paces away, and it can be reached in an instant.

Although his own troops and horses were also a hundred paces away, the Jiangdong army was outnumbered after all, and there was no advantage in rashly fighting with them.

Out of this concern, Guan Ping shook his head at Mi Yang and signaled that it was not possible.

And Mi Yang also understood what Guan Ping meant, so he temporarily stopped the murderous intent in his heart.

After all, the greatest purpose of today's meeting has been accomplished.

Seeing that Mi Yang and the three of them had no change, Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang's second general hurriedly escorted Sun Quan to the war horse not far away and ran towards the military camp a hundred steps away.

Seeing this, Mi Yang also led Guan Ping and the others to a boat not far behind him, crossed the moat, and returned to the public security city.

After Sun Quan rode back to the camp, he hated Mi Yang in his heart, and hurriedly summoned Han Dang, wanting him to lead his troops out of the camp to capture Mi Yang.

But after seeing that Mi Yang had crossed the moat, Sun Quan could only whip his horse angrily and gave up his plan to send troops.

This meeting between Mi Yang and Sun Quan ended with Mi Yang scolding Sun Quan, and the two broke up unhappily.

After returning to the public security city, Mi Yang said to Guan Ping:

"I once heard that Sun Zhongmou loved to ride a horse and shoot when he was in Jiangdong, and he often took pleasure in shooting tigers, so that Menghu often pounced on his saddle, and he was not afraid."

"Looking at it today, Sun Zhongmou was able to come to see me in person, which is true. He is also a man of courage."

Mi Yang said this, and Guan Ping also agreed.

Although Sun Quan's martial arts strategy is not satisfactory compared with his father and brother, in terms of personal courage, he still has a bit of a father's and brother's style.

At this time, Guan Ping remembered the demeanor of Mi Yang angrily scolding Sun Quan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Mi Yang:

"Zicheng Fang just scolded Sun Quan in front of him, which is really happy."

In fact, when Lu Su was the governor of the capital, Jiang Dongyan Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou not to pay it back, but it had not happened.

When Lu Su was alive before, he only asked for Nanjun, which was not too much morally speaking.

However, after Lu Su's death, after Lu Meng took charge of the Jiangdong army, the so-called borrowing of Jingzhou gradually began to spread.

At first, in order to maintain the Sun-Liu Alliance, Guan Yu only treated this as a joke.

Unexpectedly, under the neglect, this rumor intensified, and to a certain extent, disturbed the views of many unreasonable people.

To this day, this rumor has been used by Sun Quan as an excuse to attack Jingzhou.

It's ridiculous.

In the past, Guan Ping has always hated this rumor, but he has no chance to refute it, and today's Mi Yang's actions just fulfilled his wish.

And after Mi Yang's words spread today, coupled with Sun Quan's annoyed and angry reaction after Mi Yang's true face was exposed today, it will inevitably make those rumors gradually self-defeating, and it will also make the hearts of the people of Jingzhou more towards Liu Bei's side.

To be honest, Mi Yang's scolding today is also very comfortable.

But Sun Quan, who he can scold today, has no ability to refute, not because of how good his eloquence is, but because he stands on the side of truth.

Justice is at ease in people's hearts.

Even if Sun Quan and Lu Meng can disturb people's opinions through rumors.

But the Qing Dynasty is self-purifying, and the history books are clear, and the true ownership of Jingzhou has its own public opinion after thousands of years, let alone today.

At this time, Mi Yang said to Guan Ping, "Today, Sun Quan suddenly came to the public security, and Lu Meng did not show up today, maybe Lu Meng is no longer trusted by Sun Quan."

Mi Yang didn't say anything about Lu Meng being seriously ill.

After all, he knew that this matter was too unbelievable, and Sun Quan knew it.

Faced with Mi Yang's judgment, Guan Ping agreed.

Mi Yang didn't say that because Lu Meng was seriously ill and couldn't see things, he relaxed his vigilance against the Jiangdong army outside the city.

Not to mention that Sun Quan is now in charge of the army, and he will become fearless.

It's just that a great enemy has fallen, which still makes his heart quite relaxed.

After Guan Ping agreed, he said to Mi Yang, "No wonder Lu Meng has been standing still and has never retreated, it turns out that Sun Quan is waiting for him to arrive."

"I expected that Sun Quan came to the public security because he was angry because of Lu Meng's defeat, and he personally came to the public security to take charge of the army in order to take revenge."

"If that's the case, then the Jiangdong army outside the city will be difficult to retreat for a while."

Guan Ping's discourse analyzed the purpose of Sun Quan's visit to the public security and came to a most common sense speculation.

Because Guan Ping didn't know the news that Lü Meng was seriously ill, he didn't know the real reason why Lü Meng didn't withdraw from the army before.

Based on all the information so far, he can only draw logical inferences from the above.

Although Mi Yang knew that Guan Ping's inference was inconsistent with the facts, he also agreed with the results deduced by Guan Ping.

Mi Yang and Guan Ping didn't know the real reason why Sun Quan came to the public security, after all, during this period of time, the public security was besieged from all sides, and there was no communication between inside and outside.

If these two people wanted to break their heads, they would not have thought that Mi Fang, who has always been inconspicuous and leaky, would come up with a counter-plot for the sake of his son to disturb the interior of Jiangdong.

Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Mi Yang and Guan Ping know the true purpose of Sun Quan's coming to the public security.

But today, Sun Quan, as a powerful monarch, was scolded so badly by Mi Yang.

Thinking about it, Sun Quan had already regarded Mi Yang as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, and he wanted to get rid of it soon.

There is a good chance that it will turn from defense to offense.

The contemptuous title of cunning was used by Lu Xun to insult Liu Bei in history.

After Liu Bei was scolded by Lu Xun like this, his kind of well-cultivated person couldn't help but fight Lu Xun to the death, not to mention Sun Quan, who was not broad-minded.

After Mi Yang and Guan Ping realized this, Guan Ping said with some worry at this time, "Zicheng, there is not enough food in the city."

After hearing this, Mi Yang's face also showed a solemn look.

There is an epidemic in Jingzhou this year, and because of Guan Yu's long-standing Xiangfan war, it is already in a situation of food shortage.

In the past, as soon as the counties and counties of Jingzhou had surplus grain and grass, most of them were transported to the front line to supply Guan Yu's army, and there was not much surplus grain in the public security city.

Of course, as an important town to guard against Jiangdong, the public security originally had several months of grain stockpiles, and it was never acted upon as a strategic reserve.

Even if Guan Yu was short of food at that time, he never moved the mind of storing food.

However, at the beginning, there were only 3,000 defenders in the public security city, but now there are nearly 10,000 troops inside and outside the public security city.

In addition, Mi Yang captured many Jiangdong soldiers, and now the number of military households in the public security city is three times that of the past.

The rate of consumption of military rations is also at least three times that of the past.

Originally, according to the two-month period of defending the city set by Guan Yu, even if there was not much food in the public security city, it was enough to support 10,000 people to eat and drink for two months, but unfortunately the subsequent changes in current affairs were too fast.

With internal consumption increasing and friendly forces unable to transport food supplies, the public security is already running out of food.

If the Jiangdong army had been in the outer city and had not retreated, the food in the public security city would have run out in less than a month.

Soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass, this is something that everyone knows.

Once the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, the public security city will face a great disaster in an instant.

Facing the worried look on Guan Ping's face, Mi Yang said to Guan Ping, "You order the grain officials in the city to reduce the rations for the Jiangdong prisoners."

"Just keep them from starving."

Previously, after Mi Yang took those Jiangdong captives into the city, in order to prevent them from rioting, he did not give them too much rations.

Now, if you reduce it, you can save a lot of food rations.

If it is not enough at that time, it can only go to those big households.

In fact, in the world, if this happened under Cao Wei's rule, those captives would either be dried meat or would be beheaded.

But Mi Yang wouldn't do that.

Maybe Mi Yang can't let the public security city hold out for too long, but it is enough to make the food in the public security city last for a while longer.

In more than a month, it is enough for Mi Yang to do a lot of things.

Besides, the reinforcements from Yizhou should be arriving soon.

After receiving Mi Yang's instructions, Guan Ping nodded silently.

Now we can only do this for the time being.

...

Sun Quan, who returned to the camp, kept echoing the word "cunning" scolded by Mi Yang in his mind, which made Sun Quan, who had always been regarded as the supreme of Jiangdong, feel a great shame.

He swore to kill Mi Yang and then quickly.

Sun Quan strictly ordered Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang, the second general, not to reveal all what they saw today, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.

Then Sun Quan returned to his big tent, drew the long sword at his waist, and cut off half of the horn of his book with one sword.

During the Battle of Chibi that year, Sun Quan sharpened his mind and strengthened his determination to resist Cao.

Today, he repeats his old tricks in order to strengthen his will to cook deer.

The angry Sun Quan originally wanted to immediately order troops and horses to attack the city to vent his anger, but he remembered Zhang Zhao's advice at this time.

Sun Quan, who was worried about the overall situation in Jiangdong, began to hesitate again.

At this moment, his attendant Gu Li came to report, saying that Sima Yi, the envoy of the King of Wei, asked to see him.

Hearing Sima Yi's request to see, Sun Quan's face flashed with doubt, but because the other party was an envoy of the King of Wei, Sun Quan still chose to meet him.

Sima Yi didn't wait long outside the tent before he was brought into Sun Quan's big tent by Gu Li.

And after Sima Yi entered Sun Quan's big tent, he saw Sun Quan sitting on his seat with a solemn face, and there seemed to be nothing unusual from his face.

But Sima Yi, who was alert by nature, observed that there was a missing half-corner of the book in front of Sun Quan, and the missing half-width of the book was lying on the ground at the moment.

Seeing this scene, Sima Yi felt a little more confident in his own plans today.

Today, Sun Quan and Mi Yang met each other, and the entire Jiangdong camp knew about it, and Sima Yi was naturally no exception.

Although Sun Quan did not reveal the specific content of his meeting with Mi Yang to anyone after he returned.

But judging from his act of cutting the eucalyptus, it is obvious that his meeting with Mi Yang was not pleasant, and it is even likely that he suffered a big loss.

In this case, if he does not make good use of this, how can he be worthy of the humiliation of these days.
