Chapter 248 Borrowing Grain

[Three Updates!! The red ticket is awesome!! My goal is to have more than 10,000 red tickets this month!! Two four more times at that time!!]

Everyone thought that Zhuge Liang would not take action at this time even if he had talent. According to Wen Ping's defense against Zhuge Liang, only when Jiang Xia's situation is irreparable, Wen Ping may turn to Zhuge Liang. He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would have taken action when Jiang Xia's situation was stable, and as soon as he came out The hand is a stone bursting.

Jiangdong has raised the grain and fodder of 100,000 troops for half a year. This batch of grain and fodder can be said to be Jiangdong's life. In order to ensure the safety of this batch of grain and fodder, Sun Ce used the yellow cover of the general, but even so, it was still burned down.

The bamboo slips made it clear that 2,000 Jingzhou cavalrymen burned food and grass and rushed out of the city to escape safely. This news is the biggest bad news for Zhou Yu and others since they sent troops. Before the soldiers and horses move the grain and fodder, the grain and fodder have always been the root of the army. Now they have been destroyed at all, and the two thousand Jingzhou cavalry that destroyed the root are almost unscathed.

While everyone was shocked by Zhuge Liang's action, they were also surprised by Zhuge Liang's means. Silently, suddenly attacked and fled safely, which shocked everyone with Zhuge Liang's means.

If such a strategy is used by a person who has been famous for a long time, everyone will not be surprised, but this person did not have any reputation before. As soon as such a person took action, Jiangdong suffered heavy losses. How can everyone not be surprised?

"Lord, now that the army's food and grass have been destroyed, there will be nothing in a short time, but once the food and grass is not available for a long time, the army's heart will be unstable?" Zhang Wei said with a worried face. At this time, the food and fodder in the army could last for more than two days, but a few days later, the army had no food and fodder available. At that time, the army would inevitably have riots.

"Not bad. Lord, at present, the most important thing is to solve the food and fodder problem of the army, so Zhuge Liang can only let it go for the time being. Tai Shici also looked anxious. He had experienced Xu Shu's methods, and now another Zhuge Liang appeared, which surprised him and had to consider Jiangdong's current situation. Otherwise, Jingzhou soldiers and horses took the opportunity to counterattack or even attack Jiangdong, and Jiangdong would be in danger.

Sun Ce nodded and knew that the most important thing in this matter was to collect food and fodder for the army. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "How long can the grain and fodder seized from the counties of Jiangxia maintain 100,000 troops?"

"My lord, the grain and fodder collected from the counties can only maintain the use of the army for ten days, and the current grain and fodder in the army can last for five days, that is to say, the army only has 15 days of grain and fodder." Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said, "This is calculated according to the cultivation of the army. If the army fights, these grains and fodders can only last for seven days."

There are strict regulations on the daily use of the army. The supply of food and fodder in the wartime army is sufficient, but the time of cultivation is far less than that in wartime.

"Fifteen days?" Sun Ce frowned. Fifteen days was not enough time to transfer grain and fodder from Jiangdong. You should know that Jiangdong would not have too much food and fodder at this time. If he wanted to maintain 100,000 troops, he could only collect grain and fodder again. With the collection and transportation and the time on the road, 15 days is not enough at all.

"The lord Jiujiang and Lujiang County should still have some food and fodder, plus the nearby collection. Maybe it can be maintained until Zibu can bring new grain and fodder. Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said that Lujiang County is one of the richest counties in Jiangdong. If you collect grain and fodder in Lujiang County, you may really be able to collect enough.

"What does Zijing think?" Sun Ce thought about seeing first Lu Su. Lu Su has planned a lot of things for him in the past two days. Maybe there is a way at this time.

"Master, there is a strategy, but I don't know whether the lord is willing to use it or not?" Lu Su frowned and said.

"Oh, let's talk about it." Hearing that Lu Su had a way, Sun Ce was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"Lord, why don't you borrow food from Jingzhou?" Lu Su's eyes flashed and said.

"What?" Sun Ce's face changed, and even Zhou Yu and others looked at Lu Su in disbelief. Jiangdong's grain and fodder were burned by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses. How could Jingzhou lend Jiangdong's grain and fodder?

"Zi Jing, aren't you joking? How can Jingzhou lend grain and fodder to Jiangdong at this time? Zhou Yu asked with a strong sense of surprise in his heart.

"Lord, I had previously persuaded you to form an alliance with Jingzhou, but now is a good time to form an alliance. I don't think Liu Qi wants to fight with Jiangdong at this time. In this case, he will definitely lend Jiangdong grain and fodder. Lu Su shook his head.

No one in Jiangdong and Jingzhou can do anything about it. This is not the time to fight with each other. He believes that several people under Liu Qi can see that the previous withdrawal of Jiangdong's troops and then alliance with Jingzhou is the best outcome. But now that Jiangdong's grain and grass are burned, Jiangdong can be said to be in and out of the valley. At this time, if the Jingzhou battalion lends Jiangdong grain and grass, Jiangdong will definitely withdraw its troops. Jiangdong uses this in exchange for Jingzhou's grain and fodder, and Jingzhou has to agree.

"This?" Sun Ce said hesitantly, "Zijing, now that 100,000 military grain and grass in Jiangdong have been burned, and Jiangdong is at a disadvantage. At this time, Jingzhou only needs to take advantage of the victory and chase to hit Jiangdong hard. How can Jingzhou still lend grain and fodder to Jiangdong?"

"Lord, if Jingzhou doesn't borrow it, it will only hurt both sides. Only when Jingzhou can see the lord's determination will Jingzhou lend grain to the lord and let Liu Qi know that if Jingzhou does not borrow grain and grass, Jiangdong will die with Jingzhou. As long as Liu Qi knows this, he will definitely lend food and fodder to the master. Lu Sudao.

"Zijing means that we are coercing Jingzhou?" Zhou Yu thought for a moment.

"Yes, now that the situation in Jingzhou has just improved, then Liu Qi will definitely not die with Jiangdong." Lu Su nodded confidently.

Hearing Lu Su admit it, everyone was silent. Lu Su's words are extremely obvious, that is, to use the future of Jingzhou to coerce Jingzhou to lend grain to Jiangdong. Liu Qi's ambition in Jingzhou will definitely not fight with Jiangdong at this time. In this case, Liu Qi will definitely lend grain to Jiangdong.

"Lord, if you want the rich people in Lujiang County to borrow grain, these people are not easy to get along with. Previously, when the master collected grain and fodder, these people took the initiative to provide the master with grain and fodder. Now the master collects grain and fodder from them again. I'm afraid that although these people don't say anything, they will have complaints in their hearts, which is extremely unfavorable to the master. Lu Su couldn't help but say that Sun Ce was hesitant.

The reason why Sun Ce hesitated in his heart is that if he collects food and fodder from the rich people in Lujiang County, he can also make the army through the crisis.

"Apart from the rich people in Lujiang County, even the people in Jiangdong may have complaints. Over the years, Jiangdong has been fighting for many years, and he has not stopped at all. Now it is the time for the lord to unify Jiangdong to gather people's hearts. If he collects food and fodder from the people again at this time, what will he think in his confidence? Lu Su continued.

"Zijing is right, but if Liu Qi in Jingzhou really refuses to borrow grain, can Jiangdong really compete with Jingzhou's life and death?" Sun Ce was a little worried. He had never thought about these things before. The collection of food and fodder was all handled by Zhang Zhao and others. He didn't expect that there was such a particularity in it.

"Don't worry, my lord, I would like to go to Jiangxia and his party to persuade Zhuge Liang to form an alliance with Jiangdong and let him temporarily lend food and fodder to my lord." Seeing Sun Ce's mouth, Lu Su's face flashed with joy.

"No, there are many crises in Jiangxia City. What if Wenpin detains Zijing?" Before Sun Ce could speak, Zhou Yu, who was beside him, hurriedly objected. Now Jiangdong has finally found a person who can coordinate the overall situation, so he must not be in any danger.

"Yes, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are still fighting now. If something happens to Yi Zijing, it will be bad." Sun Ce also said with a solemn face. In just a few days, he had seen that Lu Su's extraordinary talent.

Although Zhou Yu, Zhang Yu, Zhang Zhao and others are talented, they are not good at planning the situation in Jiangdong. It can be said that Lu Su in front of him has just solved this problem, and he does not want Lu Su to lose anything.

"Lord, don't worry. As the saying goes, although the two armies fight, they will not embarrass their subordinates. And Zhuge Liang is also a gentleman. He will never embarrass his subordinates. Lu Su was a little moved, but he still didn't change his mind.

"Lord, this matter is very important. If you let others go, you may not be able to persuade Zhuge Liang." Lu Su said with a firm face.

It's not easy to stop Lu Su, Sun Ce and others. This matter is related to the future of Jiangdong. It's really uneasy for others to go to Sun Ce.

"Well, in this case, let's leave this matter to Zijing, but if Zijing doesn't return in a day, I will fight for Jiangdong Jiye to capture Jiangxia and let the whole Jiangxia City be buried with Zijing." Sun Ce said with a ferocious face.

"Thank you, my lord. Zijing located the lord to borrow food and fodder to solve the urgent needs of the army." Hearing Sun Ce's words, Lu Su immediately bowed down.

"Please get up. Since Zijing has decided to rush to Jiangxia tomorrow morning, but it doesn't matter if Zhuge Liang doesn't agree. As long as Zijing returns safely, I, Jiangdong, will not collapse like this." Sun Ce helped up Lu Su's solemn way.

"Lord, don't worry, Zijing won't be angry." Lu Su nodded.

"Ling Tong, you will follow Zijing into the city tomorrow to prevent the little ones from plots." With that, Sun Ce looked at Ling Tong again and entered the Wenpin in the city. Zhuge Liang might not be embarrassed for Lu Su, but it was difficult for others to say and let Ling Tong follow in case of Lu Su's attack.

"Lord, don't worry, the last general will definitely ensure that you are thorough." Ling Tong immediately bowed and shouted.

"Gong Jin, Ziyi, you two will command the overall situation tomorrow morning and be ready at any time. If there is anything wrong with Zijing, attack Jiangxia City immediately. Don't worry about injury this time." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and Tai Shici again and ordered.

"No!" Zhou Yu and Tai Shici both bowed to their orders. Both of them knew what Lu Su meant to Jiangdong.
