The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Zhen Yan was not familiar with Liu Zheng, but he could be more familiar with Dian Wei. After all, Dian Wei could talk to anyone as long as he had wine.

Since Zhen Yan moved his family from Zhongshan, although the focus of business has begun to move south, but after all, their focus is still in the north, and the management rights in the north have not been discarded so quickly. ?

The first thousand and 140 chapters five offer advice from the Zhen family

After all, besides the official trade, the Liu Zheng territory in the south is controlled by the Yuan family, the Mi family, the Lu family and other business families.

Even if Zhen Yan wanted to intervene, it would not be so easy.

Therefore, most of the Zhen family's business focus is still in the north.

Because of this, after the Zhen family withdrew from Zhongshan, most of their resources were relocated to Handan City.

It's not that the members of the Zhen family are unwilling to go to Yecheng, it's just that Yecheng has always been Yuan Shang's territory, if they live under Yuan Shang's control, they will feel somewhat restrained.

So I chose a thousand-year-old ancient capital, Handan, which is not far from Yecheng and is also a big city.

Yesterday, Zhen Yan invited Dian Wei to drink, and through Dian Wei's mouth, he learned that Liu Zheng is now facing a shortage of food and grass.

Few people in the city knew about this, except for Liu Zheng's generals, Dian Wei only drank two more glasses and accidentally revealed the news to Zhen Yan.

But Zhen Yan was paying attention, knowing that this was an excellent opportunity to cling to Liu Zheng. After learning the news, Zhen Yan didn't wait much at all, and directly brought someone over to see Liu Zheng.

"I did encounter some troubles. I don't know which trouble Patriarch Zhen is asking about?"

At this time, Liu Zheng didn't know yet. Zhen Yan already knew about his lack of food and grass. From Liu Zheng's point of view, Zhen Yan's question was about Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's defeat of Yecheng.

So when Liu Zheng asked, Zhen Yan answered right away.

"I heard from General Dianwei that there is something wrong with His Majesty's food supply recently?"

Zhen Yan spoke directly, without beating around the bush, and directly pointed out that he heard it from Dian Wei, which made Liu Zheng frowned.

Liu Zheng frowned because he was blaming Dian Wei for talking about such a big food shortage in the army.

However, due to his relationship with Dian Wei, Liu Zheng didn't pay much attention to it. Although he was short of food, it was not urgent. He still had half a month's worth of food and grass, and half a month was enough to solve the food shortage this time. It's a crisis.

"There is indeed such a problem. Zhao Yun led his troops and attacked the grain road of the widow. The grain and grass of the widow in Yangzhou cannot be transported here in a short time."

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, the Patriarch of Zhen's family really became happy.

The Zhen family has been in business for generations, if Liu Zheng encountered a plight in the army, the Zhen family might really be unable to help.

But now Liu Zheng just encountered a problem of food and grass, so the Zhen family has the ability to help Liu Zheng solve it.

Not to mention anything else, the amount of grain and grass hoarded by the Zhen family living in Jizhou for generations is definitely not a small amount.

If the Zhen family is willing to use the whole family's strength to contribute the stored food and grass to Liu Zheng, let alone help Liu Zheng's tens of thousands of troops spend two or three months, it may not be impossible to eat for a year.

The wealth of the Zhen family is first-class in the whole of the north.

It was precisely because Yuan Xi knew this that he always wanted to win over the Zhen family.

It's a pity that the Zhen family didn't like Yuan Xi. Instead of being able to win over the Zhen family, Yuan Xi's repeated courtships offended the Zhen family and drove the Zhen family to Liu Zheng's side.

At the beginning, Yuan Xi kept putting pressure on the Zhen family for a little food, but he couldn't get the Zhen family to hand over much food.

After all, this is a kind of coercive behavior. Faced with such strong persecution, how could the Zhen family hand over the food and grass accumulated by several generations.

But it's really different now.

The head of the Zhen family took the initiative to make such a decision in order to win over Liu Zheng.

One is passive and the other is active.

How can they be compared?

Taking the initiative to curry favor with Liu Zheng, the head of the Zhen family would only think that the food he handed over was not enough.

It will not be hidden at all.

After Liu Zheng finished answering his question, Zhen Yan's face brightened immediately, and he hurriedly answered Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty entrusts me with this matter, how about it?"

"Huh? What's Mr. Zhen Yan's plan?"

Zhen Yan's initiative to invite Ying made Liu Zheng a little curious. After frowning, he looked at Zhen Yan again and looked carefully. The owner of the Zhen family doesn't know what trick he has this time.

That Zhen Yan didn't, she boasted a lot.

Instead, he immediately described his thoughts to Liu Zheng calmly.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any clever plans, but I have some savings in my family. If Your Majesty is short of food, my Zhen family is willing to use the strength of the whole family to dedicate the accumulated food and grass to Your Majesty to contribute to His Majesty's pacification of the north. .”

Such a simple and unpretentious sentence, uttered from Zhen Yan's mouth, shocked Liu Zheng even more.

Not for anything else, just because Liu Zheng had personally seen the embarrassment of Yuan Xi asking the Zhen family for food in the Zhen family's Zhuangzi.

Zhen Yan racked her brains how to reject Yuan Xi at the beginning, but now she took the initiative to find Liu Zheng and wanted to contribute food to Liu Zheng.

This move naturally surprised Liu Zheng.

However, it also greatly enhanced Liu Zheng's affection for the Zhen family.

After Zhen Yan finished speaking, Liu Zheng immediately showed excitement, and took two steps forward to grab Zhen Yan's hand.

He held Zhen Yan's hand and said excitedly.

"What Patriarch Zhen Yan said, is it true? Is the Zhen family really willing to provide food to help our army pacify the north?"

Liu Zheng now has more than 3 soldiers and horses in Handan City. These soldiers and horses are indeed experiencing a food crisis, and he has no idea at the moment that there is any way to alleviate the food crisis.

And what Zhen Yan said, if it is true, the Zhen family can provide him with a certain amount of food and grass, which can indeed help Liu Zheng solve the current problem.

Once the food and grass crisis was lifted, Liu Zheng didn't need to worry about it, and he could let go of his hands and feet to fight Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's soldiers.

If there is no need to worry about food and grass, within half a month Liu Zheng can pacify Jizhou and repel Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's troops again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although my Zhen family cannot bring you military aid, if you just need some food and grass, my Zhen family is still able to do it. Your Majesty only needs to give me a few days, and we can do it." Transport all the grain and grass hidden near Yecheng to Handan City, let alone the grain and grass needed for three months."

A big family like the Zhen family.Counting servants and tenants, the whole family has at least a few thousand people. The rations needed by so many people are not small, and they all have the habit of storing grain and grass.

It is actually not difficult to cope with the food and grass needed by Liu Zheng's [-] army for three months.

But this news was extremely exciting for Liu Zheng.

"Okay, very good, if the Zhen family can help the widow to overcome this difficulty, the widow will definitely reward the Zhen family in the future."?

The first thousand and 140 six chapters are feasible

With Liu Zheng's guarantee, Zhen Yan got what he wanted, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Then I will leave for the time being and prepare. The first batch of grain and grass will be transported in three days."

After Zhen Yan and Liu Zheng settled the matter of providing food and grass, they didn't plan to stay here for a long time. The situation was urgent, and transporting the food and grass here earlier would also reassure Liu Zheng earlier.

As long as there is enough food and grass, Liu Zheng can react quickly here, determine more battle plans, and aim at Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, repel them as soon as possible, and quell the turmoil in Jizhou.

After Zhen Yan left, Zhen Yan transported the first batch of grain and grass to Liu Zheng's barracks within two days.

Although the first batch of food and grass transported was not much, it was enough to feed the army for ten days and a half months.

With these grains and grasses, it can be regarded as temporarily relieving Liu Zheng's pressure of grain shortages.

So Liu Zheng reconvened the council and asked his generals and counselors to come quickly to meet him and discuss how to deal with Zhao Yun.

Not long after, everyone who heard the transfer order gathered in the parliament hall again.

Guo Jia, Lu Su, Wen Pin, Lu Bu and others gathered together again.

"Your Majesty, what are you calling us here so urgently?"

After everyone arrived, Guo Jia stood up first and asked Liu Zheng.

Liu Zhengdang was about to come to Zhen Yan to find him, and told everyone present what happened after the recent batch of food and grass arrived.

Everyone heard that the issue of food and grass had been resolved in a short period of time, and all of them were happy for a while.

"That's great, Your Majesty, the Patriarch of the Zhen family, you really solved our urgent need. This person is so righteous, he should be rewarded heavily."

Guo Jia also felt good about people like the Zhen family.

If the Zhen family can do such a thing, Guo Jia also thinks that they should be rewarded heavily.Only by commending such behaviors will the local aristocratic families follow suit.

If he can really get the support of all the aristocratic families, I am afraid that Liu Zheng does not need to transport food and grass at all. If he can collect the food and grass contributed by the local family and solve the problem of food and grass for the army, then the army under him will It will be invincible and invincible.

After all, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Liu Bei relied on such a trick to win over the aristocratic family, so that he could win over an army in this troubled world without any advantage.

Of course, aristocratic families are different from ordinary people. Ordinary people only consider their own safety, while those aristocratic families need to consider not only their own interests, but also the interests of their families.

Not all families have this kind of courage. They use the power of the whole family to join a certain force. Those families are more likely to seek stability and disperse the power of the family among various forces.

So that no matter who seizes the world in the end, they can keep their family alive and prosper.

Behavior like the Zhen family's is still rare.

"It should be rewarded heavily, but now we are still in the stage of foreign warfare, and we don't have the ability to commend. We should wait until the end of the war to commend separately. Now that the food and grass crisis has been alleviated, everyone, we should discuss what to do next. Deal with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei."

Liu Zheng called them here to discuss how to deal with the enemy army, so after briefly describing the resolution of the food and grass crisis, he began to discuss the real issue.

After hearing Liu Zheng's words, everyone began to frown and think.

After a moment.

Lu Su, who had been silent all this time, stood up and had an idea.

"Your Majesty, Zijing has a plan."

Lu Su stood up and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone looked at Lu Su in unison.

"What clever plan does Zijing have, tell me quickly."

Liu Zheng originally thought it would be Guo Jia who made a suggestion, but he didn't expect that it was Lu Su who spoke this time.

It has been some time since Lu Su joined Liu Zheng's command, although his status is not high now.

However, Lu Su, who is now in his 20s, is also smart. Don't look at Lu Su who was included in Liu Zheng's command much later than Guo Jia.

But in fact, Lu Su and Guo Jia are only two years apart.

"My lord, if we don't lack food and grass, I think we can design a trap for this to lure the enemy into the bait."

"Huh? Tell me carefully."

Lu Su's words aroused Liu Zheng's interest.

"My lord, didn't General Xu Huang send someone back to say that the people who attacked our military food road were Ma Bai Yicong led by Zhao Yun? I think they will not leave easily."

"In this way, we will definitely continue to hang out in Qinghe and Bohai, but it's difficult for us to detect their traces for a while."

"Since we have food and grass now, why not just deliberately set up a trap, and let the trapped camp under General Lu Bu pretend to be a food transport team, and start from the Bohai Sea to transport food and grass to Handan."

"The transports are all weapons, just wait for Zhao Yun's men to hook them immediately. Once Zhao Yun gets the trick, and fight with all their strength, these cavalry of Zhao Yun can definitely be wiped out."

"It would be even better if we can kill Zhao Yun. Even if we can't kill Zhao Yun, we can get through the food road again if we cut off the opponent's cavalry."

Lu Su spoke out what he thought in his heart.

Instead, everyone present immediately understood what Lu Su meant.

Instead of asking Xu Huang to lead the cavalry to search for Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses all over the world, it is better to ask the king to enter the urn, set a trap, and wait for Zhao Yun to throw himself into the net.

"This plan works, not bad."

After Lu Su finished speaking, Guo Jia immediately nodded and agreed with Lu Su's statement.

"However, in this case, with Zhao Yun's prudence, he may not be able to fall into the trap. It is better to let General Xu Huang's men search the world for a few days first, and then set up this plan after no results, and let Xu Huang The general allocated half of the soldiers and horses to protect the grain roads."

"Only in this way can Zhao Yun take the bait from our heavily guarded grain transportation team. Otherwise, Zhao Yun will definitely become suspicious if he is defenseless."

After Lu Su's words, Guo Jia added another sentence, perfecting the plan.

"It's feasible. This general will go out in person. I must call that Zhao Yun. There is nowhere to escape."

Lu Bu, who heard the plot of Lu Su and Guo Jia, also immediately opened his mouth and agreed to fight.

Liu Zheng saw that these people under him had already arranged the plan properly, so he had nothing to say.

Nodding yes, the order was issued directly.

"If that's the case, just follow what Zijing and Fengxiao said."
