Lu Yi entrusted Liu Bei to Wei Jing, and watched the soldiers take Liu Bei to the camp tent, and felt a little emotional.

Seeing this, Wei Jing said: "This Liu Bei, but it has changed hands several times, Wu Hou, be careful." ”

Lu Yi smiled: "I know, but people change." ”

"As long as he sincerely votes and does things sincerely, what is he like in the past, and what does it matter?"

"Heroes don't ask where they come from."

"Come, Ziqi, let's continue to talk about grain transportation."

Wei Jing smiled at Lu Yi.

This is probably what he likes most about Wu Hou.

I think that at the beginning, he and his friend Bu Qi were in distress in Shu County, Lujiang, and they were about to starve to death, and Bu Qi was even more humble and begging for a ration for the Bu family.

Wu Hou not only disliked himself and Bu Qi, but also allowed himself and Bu Qi to enter the Lu family.

Over the years, he and Buqi have followed him to do things, and he has always trusted, and he has never regarded himself and Buqi as inferior.

Heroes don't ask for provenance?

Wei Jing's heart was a little warm.

Lu Yi was listening to Wei Jing continue to talk about transporting grain, and said that although Wujun and other places were trying their best to collect grain, various families were also contributing.

However, there are more than 60,000 soldiers here in Shouchun!

There are also tens of thousands of war horses.

These expenses are an unbearable amount every day.

Some of the big families are already complaining.

Although Zhang Hong, Chen Deng and others are trying their best to appease.

However, if it continues, I am afraid the consequences will still be unimaginable.

Now, under the leadership of Chen Deng, Zhang Hong and others, the officials of the entire Wu County have begun to cut back on food and clothing.

The Lu family, especially several women of Lu Yi, began to change from three meals a day to one meal a day.

Only a few of Lu Yi's children, because they are too young, still maintain a normal three meals a day.

Fang Hao and Lu Da are also vigorously increasing the operation of business, but it is difficult to see results for a while.

Lu Yi listened to Wei Jing's report, and only felt that one head was two big.

Since sitting in the position of the lord of Jiangdong, he has found more and more that fighting a war does not only rely on the invincibility of the army, but also on logistics.

Without strong logistics, it is difficult for the army to increase its combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why he envies Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had been fighting with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou before.

It wasn't until the first two years that it ended.

However, people have Jizhou, a big granary, as a backer, and they don't worry about grain and grass at all.

Although he also has Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Xuzhou.

However, these three states have been washed by war before, corpses are everywhere, and a large amount of land has been deserted, so it is difficult to resume production in a short period of time.

This is also the reason why he insisted on recuperating at such a critical juncture.

However, Liu Xie and Cao Cao were too tricky.

But if Liu Xie and Cao Cao don't cheat him, they can keep the Central Plains between Yuan Shao and himself for five years.

It only takes five years of recuperation for the states and counties under his rule to recover.

When the time comes, he will not be afraid of Yuan Shao at all.

It's a pity that there aren't so many "Danfan".

It's all been pitted.

Cao Cao can still understand it to some extent.

After all, Cao Cao also wanted to survive.

But Liu Xie, he couldn't understand it.

When he knew that Cao Cao had evacuated the Central Plains, why did he blatantly recruit soldiers to the Central Plains for assistance?

What's going on in his head?

Didn't he think that such an act would attract Yuan Shao's full strength to go south?

Not to mention that he couldn't recruit many soldiers to help.

is that he can really recruit, how can this kind of improvised patchwork army withstand the battle-hardened army under Yuan Shao's account?

This Liu Xie, after Cao Cao evacuated the Central Plains, imagined that he would be able to recover the Han Dynasty!

I really don't have a bit of vision.

Therefore, although Liu Xie was killed, he could not sympathize at all.

Wei Jing saw Lu Yi with a headache, and said tentatively: "Why don't you end your recuperation in advance and collect it from the people?" In particular, in the past two years, all the people in Huiji and other places have been exempted from taxes, and a large amount of grain and grass has been lost. ”

Lu Yi waved his hand and said, "Never!" ”

Are you kidding?

As the lord of Jiangdong, if you say it, you will regret it now, and you will still have prestige in the future?

People cannot stand without faith!

Not to mention sitting in this position.

Moreover, what has become of the people under his rule, he will not know?

The vast majority of ordinary people, although they are not as miserable as before, are far from reaching the situation of two meals a day.

In many places, it is still eaten once a day.

It's the noon meal.

Go to work with hunger in the morning and go to bed with hunger at night.

Now, if we stop recuperating and recuperate and collect grain and grass again, the people will definitely return to the situation of "changing children and eating".

When the time comes, Yuan Shao will not be leveled in front of him, and the backyard will catch fire again!

The people are likely to rebel.

Especially in Huiji and other places, how many times did the Baiyue people in the original history launch a rebellion because they couldn't eat enough?

made Sun Quan in the original history almost overturned in the early days.

He would never compromise on this matter.

At this moment, a figure walked in slowly from outside.

It's Jia Xu.

Lu Yi shook his head, expelled all kinds of complicated thoughts out of his mind, and said to Jia Xu with a smile: "Why is Wenhe here?" Something? ”

Since he was given carte blanche to Jia Xu to carry out the divisive scheme, Jia Xu has rarely come to the account.

What exactly did he do, Lu Yi didn't know.

Chen Deng had previously suggested that Lu Yi should create a special army, and the soldiers of this army would only perform one duty: to supervise the civil and military officials on the front line.

was categorically rejected by Lu Yi.

As a traverser, Lu Yi was particularly disgusted with his boss staring at him all day long before he went to work.

This approach is really ugly.

The subordinates are individuals, not simple chess pieces, but also need private space.

Especially the civil and military officials on the front line.

If they really want to rebel or do something unseemly, they will always come up with a way.

If it can't be contained, why use high-pressure policies?

It's better to be blocked than to be sparse.

Jia Xu walked in, knelt on the mat on Lu Yi's left side, looked at Lu Yi and said, "The old minister wants to use the second strategy, this time, it will involve a lot, and I have to come to ask Wu Hou." ”

"If Wu Hou thinks it's inappropriate, the old minister will cancel this plan and think about another plan."

Lu Yi laughed.

This Jia Xu is really cautious.

Even if he gave him the saber and gave him all the power to act cheaply, he would still come to ask for it.

When he gave the saber to Chen Deng and Zhao Yun himself, these two people didn't ask him once after that, until they completed all the tasks and took back the saber.

Sure enough, it is the famous "Mingzhe self-preservation" in history.

Lu Yi said: "Say, what kind of strategy?" ”

Jia Xu rolled up his sleeves and said: "The old minister wants to move the Shouchun granary to Xia Cai, and then send 20,000 elites to defend the city alone." ”

Lu Yi: "."

Wei Jing stood up and said in a lost voice: "Crazy? Shouchun has a large army in charge, and it is absolutely safe. ”

"It's inconvenient and unsafe to put it in Xia Cai."

"Once Yuan Shao's army sneaks into Xia Cai Po City, we will finish the game completely!"

"Moreover, we are now strapped for food, but there is no chance of mistakes!"

"How serious is our food crisis now, can Jia Gong know?"

Lu Yi also looked at Jia Xu with some confusion.

He didn't understand why he had to move food and grass from safe to unsafe.

Moreover, deliberately sent 20,000 elites to defend the city alone?

Doesn't this also weaken Shouchun's defenses in disguise?

Jia Xu is not the kind of person who talks on paper.

Jia Xu met Wei Jing's questioning and continued to say slowly: "This is the second plan, to show the enemy weakness." ”

"There must be a fine work in our army."

"Yuan Shao must have known about our grain and grass predicament."

"So, he has more options than we have."

"In this way, he confronted us, they have the advantage of food and grass, and they do not panic at all."

"But we can only be consumed alive."

"As soon as we remove our defenses and reduce our attrition, he will attack the city."

"We can't resist."

"If we don't withdraw our defense, we won't be able to hold on to such a large consumption of grain and grass."

"In this case, we might as well send the grain and grass out to give Yuan Shao a chance."

"Faced with such a situation, Yuan Shao has only two choices: stealing and not stealing."

"The vast majority of people would probably approve of not stealing."

"They should be in favor of trying to attack the city first during this time, to test our specific strength, how many soldiers? Experienced in combat. ”

"If we are vulnerable, they will attack the city in a big way."

"If I'm strong, they'll keep fighting like this, but they won't fight."

"In this situation, we either wait for the food and grass to be exhausted and mess with ourselves; Either we can't hold it back, and passively go out of the city to attack, and then be exterminated by them. ”

"They're going to wear the least amount of loss."

"There are a few people who are eager to make meritorious contributions and should suggest stealing."

"A strong enemy is often defeated by infighting."

"That's what we want."

"In order to prevent this from happening, Yuan Shao will definitely send some troops to steal."

"At that time, we will annihilate this part of the enemy army."

"The enemy army who advocates stealing will certainly be blamed and suppressed."

"This is the historical situation on Yuan Shao's side."

"At that time, we can make a third plan to make this part of the enemy army rebel."

"The enemy kills me."

"Let's fight again."

"There is a possibility of victory."

Wei Jing snorted and said, "That being said, this is also too dangerous. If I make a mistake, I can't imagine the consequences at all. ”

Jia Xu looked at Wei Jing and smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not dangerous at all. ”

"Please enter the urn."

"If we can't handle this situation, then in the face of the enemy's frontal attack, we can only be passively beaten, and finally completely defeated."

looked at Lu Yi again and said, "Of course, the old minister is not absolutely sure. ”

"Wu Hou, you make your own decisions."

"If it really makes a mistake, the old minister will not be held responsible."

"After all, there is a real possibility of mistakes."

"It can only be said that on the battlefield, there is no complete certainty of any strategy."

"In any strategy, there is a possibility of mistakes."

Lu Yi looked at Jia Xu speechlessly.

In a word, he doesn't want to be held responsible, and he doesn't want to be held accountable after failure.

Lu Yi said: "Then execute it!" If something happens, it's all counted on Lone's head. ”

Looking at Wei Jing, Lu Yi said, "Fully cooperate with Wenhe." ”
