Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 842
After Meng Huo got Yuan Tan's consent that day, he rushed to the food and grass, and he was going to prepare the military rations he needed for his trip to Nanzhong.

Since the loss of soldiers during the war was only half, Meng Huo still needs a lot of military rations.

Therefore, Meng Huo did not think too much and emptied all the current food and grass.

But what he doesn't know is that the grain and grass in the current grain and grass are the entire reserves of the Han army.

Many of them were seized from Hanzhong, but now they are all here.

And the transportation of grain and grass in the rear was not supplied so quickly.

So now the Han army is relying on these grains and grasses as supplies for the next battle.

However, Meng Huo thought that the Han people were rich, and this little food and grass was probably not a big deal.

So all the granaries were emptied.

He left early the next day, but he wanted to go back as soon as possible to complete the task Yuan Tan entrusted to him.

At that time, he can also show his abilities in front of Yuan Tan.

But after he left, Yuan Tan almost fainted when he received the news that the grain and grass had been emptied.

This is something humans can do!
At this moment, Yuan Tan scolded Meng Huo more than a thousand times in his heart.

I don't know if Meng Huo, who went to Nanzhong, knew about it.

Soon the problem now is not to conquer Shu, but how to solve the current food and grass problem.

Yuan Tan also hurriedly asked Zhao Yun to go to Hanzhong City to see how much grain was left and whether it was enough for the army.

If there is any surplus, come here first for emergency. We can't let the 60 army go hungry.

Secondly, he immediately wrote a letter to Pang Tong in Jingzhou, asking him to send Jingzhou's grain reserves as soon as possible. After all, the fastest way now was to take the Jingzhou waterway.

Even after doing this, Yuan Tan still felt that it was too late.

It seems that now we can only think of another countermeasure to prevent other accidents from happening.

After waiting for a day, Zhao Yun came from Hanzhong City, but did not bring back any food.

Instead, he brought someone back, and this person was Zhong Hui.

When Zhong Hui learned that Yuan Tan needed military rations, he and Zhao Yun hurriedly counted the surplus.

It is found that the current Hanzhong City is almost out of food, even if all the current food and grass are transported, it is not enough for the 60 people.

Therefore, Zhong Hui could only come with Zhao Yun.

I just want Yuan Tan to explain the situation.

After hearing about the current situation, Yuan Tan also sat down on a chair.

This is probably the biggest difficulty he has encountered on this battlefield.

It seems that I have never been so distressed by lack of food.

Now it is because of the food and grass problem that the 60 army is in a dilemma.

Yuan Tan also has some headaches now.

But Zhong Hui hurriedly said: "My lord, there is a plan, I wonder if it is possible?"

As soon as Yuan Tan heard that Zhong Hui had a good plan, he hurriedly asked: "Since Shi Ji has a plan, let's come quickly."

Zhong Hui then said: "According to my calculations, the current food and grass is probably only enough for our soldiers for three days, so we can't waste any time now, and we should launch an attack on Shu immediately."

Yuan Tan was puzzled. Now that the problem of food and grass had not been resolved, would a direct attack be feasible?

But Zhong Hui said: "Master, don't worry now, even if there is only one day of food and grass, the morale of our army will not drop."

"The reason why we want the army to attack immediately is to maintain our army by relying on war to support war."

When Yuan Tan heard about this, he was also moved. Seeing that Zhong Hui stopped and waited for him to think, Yuan Tan asked Zhong Hui to continue.

Zhong Hui then continued: "Our army is now abundant in strength, but it has just defeated the Nanman army, and its morale is also high. My lord can take this opportunity to attack Shu immediately, and we will definitely conquer everything."

"As long as the city of Shu is broken open, there will definitely be food stored in it, and then the current urgent need can be solved. As long as we wait a few days for our army's food and grass to arrive, then all problems will be solved. "

After hearing this, Yuan Tan also felt that it made sense.

Even so, no time could be wasted. In order to allow the army to better replenish food and grass, Yuan Tan also divided his troops into three groups.

Let Zhao Yun and Zhong Hui each lead 20 troops, and attack all the way to Badong, just to open the gap with Jingzhou.

It is convenient to pick up and transport military rations from Jingzhou to ensure what is needed.

The second way is to attack Wudu County, because this place is far away from Chengdu, if Zhuge Liang finds out, it will be too late to shoot reinforcements.

This is convenient to complete the strategy of supporting war with war.

Secondly, with 20 horses, he went straight to Zitong County.

Firstly, to cut off the connection between the northern counties and Shu, and also to prepare for the next attack on Shu.

Moreover, Yuan Tan also has a siege weapon in his hand, so he is not worried that his army will not be able to break through the city.

Although the current division of troops spreads out their strength, it also makes the supply of the army smaller.

No matter which way the army breaks through the city, it can be relieved.

After Yuan Tan made the plan, Zhao Yun and Zhong Hui fell into a quarrel.

The two of them didn't argue about Yuan Tan's decision, but they had ideas about who should go which way.

First of all, the two of Yuan Tan's side dare not fight, after all, he is the master.

But for the other two roads, the two have different ideas.

First of all, Badong County is relatively close to Jingzhou. Even if the siege is unfavorable, the food and grass that Jingzhou can come to help can be said to be a safe place.

But Wudu County is different.

Although this place seems to be bordering the north, it is blocked by mountains and cannot get any support at all.

It can be regarded as the most difficult bone to crack besides Zitong, which Yuan Tan attacked.

Both Zhao Yun and Zhong Hui wanted to do something that ordinary people could not do.

After all, this can show the true nature of a man.

So a contradiction arises on this point.

"General Zhong, you are still young to join the army, you should go to Padang for this battle, after all, it will be easier there." Zhao Yun persuaded Zhong Hui.

Zhong met Zhao Yun when he was talking about his own age, and said unceremoniously: "I am young, but my strategy and tactics are not bad at all. Don't worry about General Zhao. On the contrary, it is General Zhao. I heard that you just got married this year. You really shouldn't go to such a dangerous place, otherwise how will you let the lord explain to your wife."

Zhao Yun also didn't expect that Zhong Hui would be so insidious and mention his marriage at all.

This left Zhao Yun speechless, and then he brought up Zhong Hui's several defeats, which also made Zhong Hui extremely embarrassed.

Yuan Tan saw the two people arguing and could vaguely smell the smell of gunpowder coming from them.

As the two protagonists, they can only come out to smooth things over at this moment.

"Don't quarrel with the two of you. It's not good for me to favor either of you. Instead of this, how about drawing lots?"

After all, Yuan Tan took two bamboo sticks and dipped a little ink on the end of one.

Then he said: "The two of you draw lots here, and the one with ink on the tail can choose the direction of attack first. What do you two think?"

Seeing Yuan Tandu say this, the two of them couldn't refuse, so they nodded in agreement.
