Meng Dai actually had a lot of things to do, but when he returned to his tent, he still made up for sleep with resentment, and was ready to have a showdown with Zhang He when he got up.

…… Then Fanyang's letter was quietly sent into Meng Jianjun's camp tent.

Gao Ran lifted the curtain and walked into this tent, he was still a little surprised.

It is very elegantly cleaned up, and it can even be called extravagant, such as the jade pillow on the mat, the silk tent hanging next to the couch, and the Lianzhi Palace lamp in the corner of the wall not only does not emit the smell of lamp oil, but carries a wonderful fragrance.

Of course, none of this compares to the plate of ice on the table, which is emitting cold air, making the tent, which should be sweltering and sweltering, cool and comfortable.

Gao Ran also visited the mansions of several advisors who were deeply relied on by the lord, and the living standards of those people at home were only higher than this.

…… But it's actually quite rare to bring all these things to the barracks.

He sneered like this, trying to show a smile, "Is the prison army okay?" ”

Meng Dai glanced at him coldly, and snorted softly in his nose.

"I'm fine, but I don't know how to get back home!"

Gao Ran looked surprised, "Why is that?" ”

"My 2,000 men and horses are all from the giant deer, and most of them are clansmen, and there are even fathers and sons," Meng Dai said, sincerely sad, "Now that they are all dead at the hands of Zhang Junyi, and the wives and children at home are still leaning on the door, how can I return!" ”

"They are all brave and faithful men, and though they die today, they die for the great cause of the Lord, how can they not be rewarded in the city of Ye?" Gao Ran sighed for a while, "The prison army doesn't have to worry too much......

Meng Dai's face immediately showed a look of hatred, "I'm going to write a letter to bring the bad news back to Julu!" What day is it?! How should the women and children of my people live? ”

The topic came to this point, and finally returned to the topic, Gao Ran quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The lord is not here, so what happened yesterday and what caused this battle to be lost requires both sides to go back to fight a war of words.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but think about it too much, and if I recommended him and Zhang He to come here to besiege the city, I would definitely be inclined to them, which is true, but Meng Dai was recommended by Guo Tu, what does that mean?

…… It means that Meng Dai not only has Guo Tu behind him, but also probably the eldest son.

These two Lu Zhi generals are not next to the sons of the Yuan family, and every time the eldest prince invites them to a banquet, he and Zhang He always refuse.

In this comparison, does the truth still matter? Meng Dai's people have all been killed, Zhang Miao hasn't been able to fight it yet, now stabilize Meng Dai and work together, so that we can have a chance to climb out of this pool of mud together!

As for giving money, give money and give money! If you can solve this mess with money, Gao Ran will admit it even if he eats the chaff for a month!

Therefore, as the most gentle of the three people, Gao Zhan, who is also the best at communicating with others, tentatively opened his mouth.

"The prison army is lenient, if you want to comfort the families of these soldiers, why don't I and General Zhang also contribute," he asked, "I wonder how much silver and cloth the prison army is going to prepare for these 2,000 people?" ”

Meng Dai immediately began to think about it in his heart.

The three of them really made a fuss until the fish died and the net was broken, everyone stopped fighting, and the city was no longer surrounded, and it was extremely ugly for him to go back to Yecheng to fight.

He was definitely not an unreasonable person, and this time, he even reflected on his mistakes.

Therefore, he was indeed prepared to contribute a part of the pensions of these soldiers, and did not let Zhang He and Gao Ran bear it together.

Thinking of this, his gaze became gentle, and his expression was much calmer and softer.

"General Gao said so......"

Gao Ran's face showed a little surprise, "The prison army must not be polite!" ”

"That's 20 million dollars."

The surprise on Gao Ran's face froze.

"Twenty million?"

This figure is actually not said casually, each soldier gives five thousand dollars, which will cost ten million dollars.

And 10 million more......

…… It is used to buy grain.

When Gao Ran brought the news back to the Chinese military tent, Zhang He had two big black circles under his eyes because he had not rested for two days and one night.

"Zhang Miao has also returned to the city," he frowned, "they don't want to withdraw their troops, is it possible that another army will attack Fan City?" ”

"Erzhang has been in Xiaopei for several years, these are just his personal soldiers, where did he get so many soldiers and horses," Gao Ran comforted, "Jun Yi is really too careful." ”

"I'm just afraid that Liu Bei will ......" Zhang He's voice suddenly stopped, "Xiaozhi, why are you sad?" Did you go to see Meng Dai? ”

Gao Ran opened his mouth and looked at Zhang He's eyes, so the coach was even more suspicious.

"What the hell is going on? He won't take the money? ”

“…… He is willing. ”

Zhang He snorted coldly.

As expected, he thought that a person like Meng Dai, who only had money, only had to bribe him......

"Twenty million." Gao Ran said.

There was silence in the tent of the Chinese army for a while.

The two soldiers had quietly withdrawn, and they had not forgotten to lower the tent door, leaving only the skylight to spill on the small ground.

Even with this reflection, Gao Ran could clearly see that every muscle on Zhang He's face was shaking uncontrollably.

This Chinese military tent is full of the simplicity and indifference of the warriors, such as a few patches on the top of the tent.

For example, an oil lamp that has been deformed has been bumped into during transportation.

For example, a bald brush, such as a strip of a bed, such as a table with missing corners.

No matter how you compare, it makes people feel that the tent of the prison army is more imposing as a commander.

"Twenty million?" Zhang He finally squeezed out his voice from between his teeth, but he had completely changed his tone, "It's better to let me kill this thief with a sword!" ”

"General, no!" Gao Ran was taken aback, "Right now, you and I have trapped Erzhang's army under the city, their food route has been cut off, and if they can't win in a few days, they will definitely flee!" The situation is very good, why should the general be rash! ”

The face that was blue and white, with green tendons bursting out of its forehead, finally saw a trace of blood.

"Erzhang is not far from running out of food at this moment, he can't eat, and the army's morale is weak, isn't it far worse than ours!" Seeing this, Gao Ran hurriedly said loudly, "General! For the sake of today's plan, it is better to stabilize Meng Dai while sending people as soon as possible to transport the grain from Fanyang......"

Life still has to be passed.

Although their lives are a little miserable, as long as they think about it, Erzhang is worse than them, and it can also give them a little motivation to persevere and finish this rotten job.

Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are starving, Zang Hong is also starving, and they have enough food and grass, as for the 20 million money...... If they want to scrape together 20 million, it will definitely take time! Then take your time!

Zhang He also thought of this, and finally showed a reluctant smile in his angry and anxious expression.

The south gate of Puyang City opened.

The corpses under the city have been dug up and buried by the people, but the pungent stench of rancid can still be smelled.

But walking into the city, it's a different atmosphere.

Except for some traces of the fortifications at the gates, where a large amount of stone and timber was moved, the castle looks very clean and peaceful.

The people were somewhat emaciated, but none of them showed fear or numbness, but when they saw the reinforcements bring food and grass into the city, their faces were ecstatic!

There were cheers everywhere, and they thundered throughout the city!

They're waiting for reinforcements! They waited for the food!

The food was not distributed for free, but the price was normal, so that even a ragged homeless man could find a few dollars to buy two liters and run back to the straw shed to boil a pot of gruel to drink.

As for those families who are a little more substantial, they can cook a pot of dry rice today! Eat with an open stomach! Eat hard! A full dry rice with two or three pickles is enough to fill people's hearts, and if you add a spoonful of lard to the steaming corn, oh my!

When the land hanging fish rode on the horse, it felt fluttering and flickering, like a dream.

"That's how you brought the food back?"

Zhang Liao pursed his lips, "Ciyu has asked me five times." ”

“…… You remember it quite clearly. ”

"That's nature," he said solemnly, "every word of the general is remembered clearly in the army, and the same is true below." ”

…… The mouth is quite sweet.

She rubbed her face, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask again:

"That's how you brought the food back?"

Zhang Liao not only pulled out 40,000 stone of grain from Fanyang City, but also a bunch of pigs, sheep, cattle and wine that were classified with the grain.

Therefore, in the county guard of this eastern county, there is a rare mouth-watering aroma.

"I should have served cattle wine to work for the army," the Dongjun Taishou was a little surprised, "and now he has received your favor." ”

"Ziyuan guards this county for the Han Dynasty, he can be called a righteous man in the world, what is a cow wine!" Zhang Miao said with emotion, "Yuan Shao has no merit, the goodness of the fine medium, according to the respect of the county, he has passed his talent, and now he is more and more arrogant, and sooner or later he will be broken by chivalrous people!" ”

"If you talk about chivalrous people," Zang Hong said with a smile, "who dares to talk to you!" ”

Zhang Chao immediately humbled a little, "Although my brother and I have the heart to save Ziyuan, we don't have such a great talent, if it weren't for Ji Tinghou for teaching me the art of war for half a year, you and I wouldn't be where we are today!" ”

So Zang Hong's gaze shifted to her.

"Ji Tinghou's voice shook the world," he said with a smile, "I saw it today, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

Lu Hangyu stared at this person with a little concern.

The man was tall, but he was so thin that he looked a little haggard, and he couldn't hide his age of nearly forty.

But he is still a very outstanding beautiful man - not the meticulously crafted beauty of Xun Chen, nor the beauty of a handsome young man like Sun Ce - Zang Hongmei is in bearing, which makes people feel that this person has both the heroism of Yan Zhao and the charm of a mature man.

…… Especially that beard! It's beautifully trimmed!

She looked up and down, and sighed with admiration, "Envoy Zang, I have heard many rumors about you, but I didn't expect you to be so good-looking." ”

There was a sudden silence in the brightly lit county guard's mansion.

Zang Hong raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Really? ”

She nodded sincerely, "The envoy's beard is very good-looking!" ”

…… The big man couldn't hold back any longer and laughed.

As the funder of this banquet, Zhang Liao looked very calm on the side.

But for the next two hours, his eyes couldn't stop glancing up Zang Hong's beard.

It's really a beautiful beard, he thought, but it's nothing special, why does the hanging fish like this?

Taishi Ziyi also has a beautiful beard! Didn't she shave it?!
