Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 66 Not enough to eat, not warm to wear

Zhang Ji watched his hundreds of carts of grain and grass being burned to ashes, and dared not speak out.

Han Yang led Zhang Liao at this time, and had just returned from Guo Si's mansion, when he saw this scene, he showed a surprised expression.

"What's going on here? Why did the barracks suddenly catch fire?"

Huang Zhong had already completed the task at this time and just turned back.

"General, I just went to investigate. It should be some traitor who deliberately set the fire and burned General Zhang's food and grass. Now all the food and grass have been burned. The New Year is approaching. I am afraid that General Zhang's troops will be killed. It's better."

Han Yang was furious after hearing this.

Now Luoyang City is in such a state of chaos. First I was assassinated, and then the grain and grass were burned. Who the hell is caught by me?

"Who is responsible for the security of the outer city defense today, stand up for me."

As a result, there was no one.

"Report to me one by one, what kind of work are you all responsible for today?"

Ji Ling first took a step forward.

"Report to the general, I am in charge of the commander-in-chief of the entire martial arts arena today."

Then there is Wei Yan.

"I'm in charge of the safety around the Martial Arts Field."

"I'm in charge of the training of the bow and arrow battalion."

"I am responsible for..."

After asking around, no one's mission had anything to do with the defense of the camp. Han Yang was so angry that he couldn't speak, although he looked at Zhang Liao, who was cheerful and cheerful.

The general was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to clap his fists.

"General, I accompanied you to visit General Guo Si Guo's mansion today. I didn't leave the whole time. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that everyone was throwing the blame, Han Yang didn't offer a good solution, so he threw up his sleeves and left angrily.

The others quickly followed up to persuade, shouting repeatedly, General, General.

Only Ji Ling was left fat and walked slowly.

"Look at General Zhang. The original responsibility for this matter should have been on General Han. I didn't expect him to throw blame everywhere, and now he is still angry. It's too much. Don't take it to heart!"

He ran away as soon as he said that, shouting while running, brothers, wait for me, Lao Ji, I really can't run anymore.

Zhang Ji was about to ask Han Yang for an explanation, but he didn't expect to be dazzled by this incident for a long time, and he didn't react until he walked away just now.

He sighed deeply, summoned his men and horses to go back to the camp to have a look, but there was nothing that could be remedied.

The army of tens of thousands of people followed behind him and quickly returned to the camp. There was only one, a desolate and desolate place, covered by black smoke everywhere.

Hundreds of carts of grain and grass have been burnt, and only a few carts are left. They are still coarse grains, which are usually used to feed the horses.

The soldiers on the side all just came back from the martial arts arena. After practicing for a long time, their stomachs were growling.

Zhang Ji knew that even if there was no food and grass, he had to give the soldiers food, otherwise they would run away as soon as they lost their hearts.

"Listen to my orders. The cooks start the stove and cook. Don't be afraid of wasting food. Let me eat freely. Everyone is tired all day. It's time to eat well."

After speaking, Zhang Ji left here, and took his guards to check the entire camp to see if there were any other losses.

The person next to him was a little worried and couldn't help asking.

"My lord, there are only a few carts of grain and grass left, and they are eaten freely. After a few days, the grains will disappear. It seems that winter is coming soon. What should I do?"

Zhang Ji waved his hand and interrupted him.

"I have my own plan. I will ask General Guo to bring some food over. As long as I get through this winter, everything will be easy next spring."

After hearing this, the soldier was about to retreat.

"Wait, pass on my order to the whole army. From now on, be careful to guard against thieves. Anyone who breaks into the camp, once found, will be killed."

Zhang Ji naturally knew that this matter was planned by Han Yang, but there is no evidence now, so if he goes to ask for an explanation, he will only come back in disgrace, and maybe he will fall into the trap designed by him.

Zhang Ji sent a third messenger to Guo Si's mansion, this time for only one purpose, to borrow food.

Zhang Ji believes in this matter, no matter how much Guo Si shirks it, he will not push it away, unless he doesn't want him to continue working for her.

In fact, Zhang Ji has long been dissatisfied with Guo Si. He thinks that Guo Si is just a villain who knows how to flatter. He has no great skills and likes to play some tricks.

Maybe his messenger didn't come back for a long time because he deliberately didn't reply, and wanted to hurt both himself and Han Yang.

This time, the messengers didn't stop them, they rode fast horses and arrived at Guo Mansion in half an hour.

Guo Si read the letter and heard about Zhang Ji's situation, so he quickly dispatched some people from the granary and sent them there. Within a few days, the batch of grain and grass was ready.

Unexpectedly, this delivery just happened to meet Han Yang's troops during a routine inspection, so they directly withheld the food and brought it back.

And there was no news from Zhang Ji's side, Guo Si thought that the matter was settled, and Zhang Ji's side had temporarily resolved the crisis.

Nacheng thought that his food and grass had already been listening in Han Yang's barracks.

When Ji Ling heard the news, she hurried over here, and saw a few fat cows on the grain truck.

He hugged it excitedly.

"Oh my God, Guo Si is such a good man and he sent fat cattle for free. He is a rich man. General Han, it's settled. I don't care. I, Lao Ji, will accompany you in this play. There is no credit but also hard work. No matter how you say it today, reward me with some beef!"

Han Yang looked at Ji Ling's drooling appearance and laughed.

"Sure, these few heads of beef are killed, all the soldiers will eat and drink well tonight, and then I will make the rest of the beef into beef jerky, and save it as dry food for winter."

Ji Ling couldn't close his mouth when he heard this. He thought to himself, he must be able to eat two whole plates of beef tonight, no, five plates.

But Zhang Ji's side was in a miserable situation. The remaining two boxes of grain were running low, and the grain from Guo Si was delayed, which made him anxious.

"Report!" The messenger outside the door ran over, as if to deliver some news.

"The general has something important to report."

Zhang Ji thought it was food, and was a little excited.

"Say it."

The soldiers faltered and murmured, telling the news they had come to inquire about.

"Just got the news that General Han Yanghan slaughtered dozens of cows tonight and is rewarding the three armies, saying that they will eat and drink openly tonight."

Ji Ling heard something more to come.

"Anything else, tell me now."

The soldier gritted his teeth and said it.

"Also, some soldiers asked if they could eat and drink with them at the gate of the camp."

Zhang Ji was so angry that he passed out immediately.
