Nine hundred and seventieth chapters method
"Now, it's useless to say that these things are useless, so let's talk about how to solve the problem of food and grass."
Although Liu Bei regretted not listening to Cheng Yu at the beginning, he insisted on transporting food and grass from Ziwu Valley.
But he is not a person who will always be immersed in regret.
After expressing that he regretted his original decision, Liu Bei quickly came back to his senses and began to think about what they should do to deal with the shortage of food and grass.
After saying this, Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and Guan Yu on the side.
Actually, Liu Bei doesn't need to ask.
During the period when Liu Bei was still here, Guan Yu and Jian Yong had already started discussing.
In fact, some results have been discussed.
At this time, just waiting for Liu Bei to ask, Guan Yu took the lead in speaking.
"Brother, we only have two ways to go now!"
"The army has not had much food and grass in Hanzhong area. Now the food and grass in the next half month have been intercepted by Liu Zheng's people. If we cannot handle Hanzhong within 20 days, our army will have a shortage of food and grass!"
"So we can only conquer Nanzheng City within 20 days, and then lead our troops westward to capture the entire Yizhou. We can only kill the army to Yizhou, so that the people of the Tianfu country can save enough food and grass for a short time!"
Guan Yu is actually the main party.
After all, the purpose of their arrival in Hanzhong this time was to occupy Yizhou. Now that they have surrounded Nanzheng City, they only need to continue to send troops to attack Nanzheng City and eliminate Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's main troops. The next battle to attack Xichuan will not be very difficult.
According to the current Guan Yu army's troops in Hanzhong to attack Nanzheng City, the chance of victory is still very high.
After all, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's men in Nanzheng City suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, and now they can only hide in the city.
As long as you are willing to lose your troops and the Guan Yu army forcibly attack the city, it will be no problem to attack Nanzheng City.
It is not certain that Guan Yu's army can still have more than 60,000 troops left after forcibly siege.
When Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's words, his brows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about what he said, what is the chance of winning?
After a while, Liu Bei shook his head.
"Second brother, this matter is of great importance. If we forcefully attack the city, our army will suffer heavy casualties. Even if we can capture Nanzheng City, there will be no more soldiers left. There are tens of thousands of troops from Gan Ning on the side. When our army attacks Hanzhong, Gan Ning's tens of thousands of troops will definitely not sit idly by. If they take advantage of our army's attack from the rear of our army, will it be a big deal to launch a front and rear attack on our army?"
Liu Bei was still very cautious. After realizing that this matter was not done, he immediately rejected Guan Yu's proposal.
After hearing Liu Bei rejecting his statement, Guan Yu looked calm and said nothing. After all, he also understood that what he said just now was just an angry word, and that he really had too little chance of winning against Nan Zheng.
Even if you fight, it will be more of a loss.
"One other way is that our army will give up attacking Nanzheng City, but will dispatch all the troops from Nanzheng to Ziwu Valley to open up the Ziwu Valley grain road first."
"The reason why the Ziwu Valley Grain Road was cut off by Huang Zhong's men was because our army placed a large number of troops on Nanzheng City. As long as we send troops to open up the grain road again, when the next batch of grain and grass is transported, our army's grain and grass crisis will be resolved!"
Guan Yu's army transported grain and grass from Chang'an City to Chenggu County, and transported it once every 10 days.
Although the food and grass this time were robbed by Huang Zhong, it only takes another 10 days before the next batch of food and grass can be transported.
So as long as the grain channel is opened and the next batch of grain and grass is transported over, the grain and grass crisis in Guan Yu can be temporarily lifted.
But if you do this, you are not sure that you can do it.
After all, they did this before based on Huang Zhong and other men, and they did not know the food transportation route of Guan Yu's army.
Only by neglecting the robbery of troops and grain that could appear at any time by Liu Zheng's army.
But now that Huang Zhong has done the task of cutting off the food channel once, it may not be impossible to do it a second time.
Even Fu Shiren disappeared, most of the time he had been arrested by Huang Zhong's men and torture. The entire grain and grass transportation process could not escape the investigation of Huang Zhong and others.
In this way, the difficulty of transporting grain and grass on Ziwu Grain Road has increased sharply.
"Xianhe (Jian Yongbiao), what you said is feasible, but it is also difficult to succeed. Now the grain road in Ziwu Valley has been discovered by Huang Zhong's troops. Even if we send a large army, the other party can rely on the terrain of Ziwu Valley to stalemate with us."
"Not to mention whether we can defeat Huang Zhong's troops within a few days. Even if we really defeat Huang Zhong in the end, when our grain transport team comes, Huang Zhong will come back. I'm afraid we may not be able to keep the food and grass. They only need a fire to waste our efforts."
Liu Bei was not very confident in recapturing the grain channels of Ziwu Valley.
After all, when I first chose to transport grain and grass in Ziwu Valley, it was because of its concealment. Now that Huang Zhong's men have already known it, it is not a wise move to continue using this channel to transport grain and grass.
After Jian Yong finished speaking, his face became a little more serious without Liu Bei's consent. After all, for Jian Yong, when he discussed with Guan Yu before, he had raised these doubts. Now he has come up with it again, it is just that Liu Bei has denied it again.
"Lord, since it is not enough to attack Nanzheng, and it is not enough to retreat and protect the food road, we only have twenty days left for food and grass. And as time goes by, the news of our food road being robbed will definitely be circulated in the army. At that time, it is afraid that the troops under our hands will begin to turmoil without twenty days."
Although the robbery of the Ziwu Valley Grain Road has not been made public yet, Guan Yu’s soldiers are not fools. The baggage team has not transported the food and grass these days, so they can realize what happened in Hanzhong.
After another ten days passed, he had not seen the baggage coming. Those smart people naturally knew that the shortage of food and grass in Han was so that Guan Yu would not be able to suppress the unrest among the soldiers below.
"If this is not possible, I can only find a way to transport grain and grass from the Xigu. However, even if we quickly pass the news back, it will take at least one month to pass the news to Chang'an and transport the grain and grass to Chenggu."
Jian Yong thought for a while and then said another solution.
