I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

In the center of the city, Ma Teng's general residence.

The General's Mansion is much better than other buildings in the city. At least with the help of countless guards, the General's Mansion is at least not so messy and smelly.

Volume 269 Chapter 2161 : Chapter 95 Military Food Crisis (2)

However, the traces of being submerged in water are very obvious on the whole.

The same is true in the hall, the surrounding area is empty, there is not even a cushion, only the floor.The floor was barely wiped clean, but it was still wet, and water seeped out when stepped on.

However, there are no good places left, and Liu Feng can only live here temporarily.

At this moment, Liu Feng, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Deng Zhi and other civil servants under his command are discussing military and state affairs in this hall.

"General, although our military rations are coming in a steady stream. But the fighter plane came too suddenly, and we didn't prepare before that. Most of the military rations are still on the way. And now our military rations are not enough. , Some people must eat rice soup or porridge."

As the commander-in-chief of the king's general, Deng Zhi was in charge of these miscellaneous things, smiled wryly, and raised his fist and said.

This is the problem Liu Feng encountered. In the first battle of Xianyang, he captured the people of the city and [-] to [-] prisoners. He was very happy.But with so many mouths open, they wanted to ask Liu Feng for food.

Although Zhong Yao had already sat down and prepared in advance, he gave an order to take all the food in Chang'an to a high place, and the whole army was not wiped out, but it was not much, and the supply was very reluctant.

"General, why not reduce the rations of the prisoners and some of the people?" After a while, Deng Zhi hesitated and said.

There is no way to do this, someone must go hungry, the army cannot be starved, right?

This is completely impossible. The elite soldiers of the Ten Routes followed Liu Feng to conquer the northwest and fought at the mouth of the river. The soldiers fought hard and returned with countless casualties.

In the first battle of Xianyang, most of the soldiers were soaked in water without complaint or regret.Ten thousand soldiers from Jingchu fought against Xianyang and fought hard for the Han Dynasty to obtain Yongzhou.

This is a meritorious army. If you treat them lightly, how will you convince the public in the future?

Not to mention Deng Zhi, even Jia Xu, Liu Ye felt that the captives should be treated lightly first, and the common people should be fed with rice soup, which is enough to survive.

Then wait for the food from Jingzhou and Hanzhong in the south to arrive, and then distribute it to the people and captives.This is currently the best way.

However, unexpectedly, after Deng Zhi finished speaking, Liu Feng did not answer immediately, as if he was in deep thought.

That's right, Liu Feng, who was sitting high on the first seat, was indeed in deep thought.

The lack of military rations, this is something that has long been expected, so don't be surprised.Anyway, with the current season and the amount of military rations, no one will be frozen to death or starved to death.

It is right to starve the captives first.But secondly, should we really starve the people first?

Liu Feng felt inappropriate, for the people in Xianyang area, Liu Feng did feel a little guilty, this was one reason.

Another reason is that starving the people is not good for winning people's hearts.

Therefore, whether it is out of a little guilt in the heart, or hypocrisy, in order to consolidate the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty in Yongzhou.Liu Feng felt that the prisoners should be starved first, and then the army should be starved to provide rice soup.As for the common people, they provide food for the common people.

Indeed, just as Deng Zhi, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and others were worried about, ten elite soldiers followed him to the north, fought hard, and won a big victory in Hekou and Xianyang. With this series of big victories, they swallowed Yongzhou and annexed Ma Teng and Han Sui's 14 troops were completely wiped out.

Great credit.

A hungry army is inconsistent with reason and emotion.Even, it may make the soldiers centrifugal.But Liu Feng finally decided to feed the people first and then the soldiers.

Therefore, Liu Feng took a deep breath, and under the surprised, even shocked eyes of Liu Ye, Jia Xu, and Deng Zhi, he said, "Let's provide as much food as possible to the people first. The army eats porridge, and the prisoners eat rice soup."

Surprised and shocked, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, and Deng Zhi forgot to speak for a while, so that the hall was very quiet.

Chapter 96 No turning back

"Gollum."

After all, Deng Zhi was a little younger, and finally couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the shock on his face became more obvious.

He heard right.The general said again, first feed the people, and then feed the army.Although, this is true, the ancient sages always advocated putting the people first.Deng Zhi also respects sages and thinks so.

But that is more of an ideal, and in many situations, it is completely impossible.For example, in troubled times, in troubled times, military power is the most respected.

Youdao is the attacker, the first soldier.If you want to win the world, you have to have military power in your hands.If the military spirit is no longer there, what should we do?

"General, although it is said that winning the hearts of the people is the long-term solution. But if the army's morale is shaken, I'm afraid it will hurt the root immediately." At this time, Liu Ye spoke first.

Although he woke up from the shock faster than Deng Zhi, he was no better than Deng Zhi, but also because of this, Liu Ye's instinct as a counselor caused a strong rebound in Liu Ye's heart. He wanted to persuade, To correct Liu Feng's mistake.

At least, in Liu Ye's mind, Liu Feng was wrong.

"General, think twice." Jia Xu also took a deep breath and raised his fist in salute.

"General, think twice." Deng Zhi finally came to his senses, and said hastily raising his fist.

"It's not that I'm blinded by profit, trying to win the hearts of the people, and forgetting important things. I naturally know that the attacker has the right to fight first. Regarding this matter, I will share it with the soldiers of the Tenth Army." Liu Feng said without changing his true nature. .

"Let's give an order to distribute the food. The people come first, the army second, and the captives last." Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng said to Deng Zhi.

"This." Deng Zhi hesitated when he heard the words, but in the face of Liu Feng's persuasive gaze, Deng Zhi finally chose to trust Liu Feng, and raised his fist to promise: "No."

After making a promise, Deng Zhi immediately took his leave and left.

"Call the soldiers from the ten routes to the east of the city, and talk to them personally." After Deng Zhi left, Liu Feng glanced around at Jia Xu, Liu Ye said.

Jia Xu and Liu Ye knew that the matter was on the verge of breaking out after hearing the words, so they could only trust Liu Feng to find a way to solve the matter.

So, the two saluted and said, "No."

After a while, Jia Xu and Liu Ye also said goodbye and went out.And with the two of them leaving, Liu Feng's order was also mobilized.

Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Dong Gai, Wei Yan, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, Hou Xuan and other ten generals commanded the army and mobilized elite troops to gather in the east of the city.

Liu Feng's prestige is unparalleled.As soon as he gave an order, the ten elite soldiers in Xianyang City naturally moved.Under the leadership of their respective generals, they went to the east of the city.

"Da da da."

I saw countless teams of soldiers in the city striding forward and dispatched in order.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that the king's great general plans to mobilize the army and continue the northern expedition?"

"Then what should we do?"

Countless people saw such a situation, even though they were curious about what happened, they were extremely apprehensive. If Liu Feng left, what would happen to their rations, and what would happen to their future?

"Go, it's useless for us to stay here, go and see what's going on, maybe you can see the general. If the general has mercy, he can survive. If the general doesn't show mercy, I will please ask the general to live .”
