Volume Four, Chapter 402: Shortage of Supplies

First update, please vote for recommendation!

——

Liu Xiu took the newspaper and read it for a long time. The war in Shandong was basically not as expected. He even felt that it was not lively enough. The Yellow Turban Army was indeed not good. First, it was beaten by Huangfu Song and Cao Cao, and then Zhang Man was killed by Yuan Shu in Chengdu. The only remarkable one was that Zhang Jiao led the main force to defeat Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo was the weakest among the three official troops, while Zhang Jiao was the strongest among the Yellow Turban Army. Victory was expected, and it was wrong to lose.

Just like Tian Ji’s horse racing, can you not win by taking the upper and lower horses? Winning is not called winning, but losing is called losing.

Let's take a step back and say, what's the ability to bully Dong Zhuo? What Dong Zhuo can really command is his elite troops brought from Xiliang. The combat effectiveness of the five Northern Army schools is not bad, but the strongest Changshui Camp was taken away by Cao Cao. Among the remaining camps, Wang Kuang and Chunyu Qiong probably won't take Dong Zhuo seriously. It would be good if they didn't stumbling Dong Zhuo. Jian Wu and Zhao Yan are both making military achievements, but they don't want to earn military achievements for you.

Brother Dong Zhuo, it's really pitiful.

However, the Yellow Turban Army's blood replenishment function is really strong. As soon as Zhang Mancheng died, he immediately replenished 100,000 people. If he was not careful, one person would be enough for Yuan Shu to drink a pot of it.

Liu Xiu shook the diary in his hand and looked at Xun Yu with confusion. When he was reading the diary just now, he felt that Xun Yu was observing him, and Xun Yu could not get the worries from the diary. Liu Xiu instinctively felt that Xun Yu was a little drunk and was not drunk.

"The court fought a good battle. It seems that we will encircle and annihilate Zhang Jiao himself next." Liu Xiu smiled with relief, "Although we did not participate in the war, we also made contributions. Two thousand war horses can solve many major problems."

Xun Yu quickly avoided his eyes and quickly took out another edict from his sleeve: "General, please read this before you talk about it."

Liu Xiu was a little surprised, but said nothing. He took it and saw that the emperor wanted to transfer two thousand more war horses. The emperor did not specify where the transfer was from, but since the imperial edict was sent to Guanzhong, it was naturally necessary for Liu Xiu to arrange it.

The key issue is that the emperor did not mention money.

"What does this... mean?" Liu Xiu shook the edict.

"The emperor has no money." Xun Yu smiled bitterly, "If I guess well, these two thousand war horses will be given to Cao Cao, then what should I do next for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu? They will definitely ask for the allocation of war horses, but the emperor does not, and they don't want to give them. Then he can't stop the Yuan family from buying it himself. General, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Of course, Liu Xiu understood that the emperor had no money, but could not do it so obviously unfairly, so he could only say that these two thousand war horses were wanted by Cao Cao himself. If you want the Yuan family, you can only buy them by yourself. The emperor might be able to make a fortune from it. But the problem is that the Yuan family had a legitimate reason to make money and equip cavalry. If you want to control it in the future, you can't control it. Moreover, the Yuan family has a lot of followers. This family bought dozens of horses and that family bought dozens of horses. If they got together, they might be thousands of elite cavalry.

There are thousands of cavalry in the entire Northern Army? It is less than three thousand. Now, Yuan Shao has five thousand elite cavalry alone, and he will soon be able to break through ten thousand. In addition to the border troops of You and Liang, is it necessary for the Yuan family to listen to the emperor?

This is the issue that Xun Yu is worried about losing military power.

Another worry that Xun Yu did not say was that the emperor could not balance the Yuan family, so he could only use him Liu Xiu to balance the Yuan family. If he led the border army into the Central Plains, if he had any unfair intentions, there would be nothing more to the emperor. The rest was that he would compete with the Yuan family, and the emperor could only watch from the side.

This is a more serious loss of military power. Xun Yu is worried about the Yuan family, which is openly. But he is worried about Liu Xiu, but he is in a deep level.

What can Liu Xiu do? He can only pretend to be confused. It is definitely not easy to deal with such people, especially those who are not completely united. If he is accidentally sold, he will help people count the money.

Xun Yu couldn't see anything unusual on Liu Xiu's face, and didn't know if Liu Xiu really didn't understand, or if he didn't have the mentality of taking advantage of the situation, so he explained the problem he was worried about. Liu Xiu "suddenly realized" and asked earnestly: "What should we do?"

Xun Yu hesitated: "I came here just to discuss with the general to see if I could give the war horse to His Majesty first, pass this level before him, and then..."

"Free?" Without waiting for Liu Xiu to speak, Yan Zhong asked in surprise: "Wenruo, you don't want to force the Qiang people and the Xiongnu people to rebel again, right?"

Xun Yu was speechless and had to look at Liu Xiu with a gaze. He could not bear the big hat that Yan Zhong threw over.

"This... is difficult to deal with." Liu Xiu said to him, feeling a little disappointed. Xun Yu came here, but he came here for the sake of the court. He knew that Liangzhou and Bingzhou were waiting for rice to be cooked, but he could still make this suggestion. He would rather dig out his limited foundation to pay for the emperor's stupidity. In Xun Yu's opinion, maybe this is natural. Whether it is Liangzhou or Bingzhou, they belong to the emperor. The emperor trusted him, Liu Xiu, so he allowed him to lead the two states. In order to repay the emperor's kindness, he should support the emperor without reservation. But in his opinion, as the chief of the general of the guard, Xun Yu placed him? With his eyes, could he not see at all that people without strength would die in the future?

Fortunately, Yan Zhong was there, and the reason was very legitimate. The only resource in Bingliang is now war horses. If the war horses were given for free, how could the Xiongnu in Bingzhou and Qiang people in Liangzhou survive? If they rebel, then the Han Dynasty would be hopeless. Besides, Liangzhou Xinding, the Warrior Maid Garden has only been open for a year, and Qilian Maid Garden is still in preparation. There are not many war horses to adjust. The two maid gardens in Bingzhou each raise 10,000 horses each, but can only produce five or six thousand war horses every year. Some of these have to be supplied to the border army of this state. The ones that can be provided to the court were limited. Now two thousand horses have been given, and at most they can only draw three or four thousand horses. The Yuan family wanted to buy them, and Liu Xiu had no horses to sell them to him.

Yan Zhong had sufficient reasons and left Xun Yu with face. Liu Xiu didn't need to say a word, but he only showed an expression like this next to him. Xun Yu had nothing to say. Although he was the chief minister of the Wei General's Mansion, he only knew the wealth of Liangzhou and was not familiar with the specific situation of Bingzhou. He knew nothing about the wealth that Liu Xiu hid in the secret.

"Wenruo, you don't have to worry. I don't think things will develop to that point." Liu Xiu in turn comforted Xun Yu and said: "With Huangfu Song and Cao Cao's ability, after they solved the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, they will soon be able to fight in the other two places. Perhaps the destruction of the Yellow Turbans is right in front of them, and they will not give the Yuan family a chance to expand their troops."

Xun Yu smacked his lips without saying a word. In fact, in his opinion, Cao Cao's surge in strength was even more terrifying than the expansion of the Yuan family's strength. Because Cao Cao not only helped the Song family become a relative, but he also had a background of eunuchs, which were the two stubborn diseases that caused the great Han Dynasty the most. But he knew that Liu Xiu and Cao Cao had a good relationship with the Song family and were very close to the eunuchs, so it was inappropriate to say these in front of him.

...

Zhang Jiao waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Ming's words. His current thoughts were not on the ring. It was only more than a month. Zhang Mancheng died in battle, Peng Tuo died in battle, and Bo Cai died in battle. Wancheng was surrounded by Yuan Shu, and Bu Ji was surrounded by Huangfu Song and Cao Cao. His survival was only in the evening. The rapid change in the battle made him feel overwhelmed. At this time, he was not in the mood to care about the holy object that could not be used at all.

"Master, this matter cannot be delayed." Zhang Ming was also anxious. Since the Taiping Army's uprising, this is the only thing he has done in Liangzhou. Liangzhou has won first and then lost, which has made Liu Xiu seize the opportunity. If this matter is unresolved, what's going on with his eight disciples? Zhang Mancheng died, and the gods made a vacant vacancy, and he still wanted to fight.

"He is just nonsense. If I send someone over, can he give me the holy things?" Zhang Jiao was annoyed and shouted loudly: "Yuansheng, what's going on with you? I've been so restless recently. Where is my years of practice?"

Seeing that Zhang Jiao was angry, Zhang Ming did not dare to say anything anymore. After hearing this, Wang Guo twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, and stood up and said, "Great Master, I don't think this matter can be delayed."

Zhang Jiao turned his face and looked at the kingdom unhappily, but he did not get angry. The kingdom knew how to be good at war and was the most useful among all the disciples. The kingdom was a meritorious in defeating Dong Zhuo last time.

"Huangfu Song and Senior Brother Peng have been in a stalemate for more than half a year. Why did he suddenly succeed? Nothing else, Cao Cao's cavalry helped me. I have millions of Yellow Turban Army, but there are no cavalry. The cavalry will be the most difficult opponent in our field battle."

He opened his eyes and turned his eyes and understood.

"Where are the cavalry's horses coming from? There is only Bianliang now. If we anger Liu Xiu..." Wang Guo stopped talking, but just looked at Zhang Jiao. Although Zhang Jiao was very depressed, he had to nod and annoy Liu Xiu, which was not good for him. Liu Xiu had never gone east because the emperor suppressed him. Now the emperor was very dissatisfied with his actions tolerate the powerful family. It is hard to say when Liu Xiu would be transferred to the war. Even if the emperor did not issue an edict, it would be difficult for Liu Xiu to secretly make a point of damage? Just like last time he sent two hundred people to help Lu Zhi, he arranged a few generals who were good at cavalry to go to Guandong, and it would be very likely that he//The fastest text update will be updated without pop-ups or ads//I can’t afford to take care of it.

"But if the Holy Aunt was sent here, he would definitely not give me the holy objects." Zhang Jiao said worriedly.

"Put the holy relics aside in advance, but we can buy war horses from him." Wang Guodao: "If we also have war horses, can Huangfu Song and Cao Cao be so arrogant?"

"Buy a war horse?" Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up suddenly. He looked at the kingdom happily, thinking that this disciple was so smart. How could he come up with this solution? Moreover, he is from Xiliang, so he must be familiar with cavalry warfare, at least more familiar than the people under his command. "This is a good idea. If we can also have thousands of cavalry, what can the official army do to me?"

"What Master said is very much." Wang Guo smiled and said, "Liangzhou is too far away, the Muyuan Garden is newly opened, and the number of war horses is limited, but Bingzhou is very close to us. As long as Liu Xiu nods, he will be able to transfer horses from Bingzhou soon. Besides, Liu Xiu is short of money in Liangzhou, so he will definitely not refuse this huge amount of money."

Zhang Jiao nodded repeatedly, and in this way, he had the ability to bargain with the emperor.

"Yuansheng, you can go to Guanzhong and buy it from Liu Xiu."!!!
