Chapter 290

Bolu didn't accept this trick at all, and took two steps forward with the big knife in hand.

Several generals Chen Song nearby immediately pulled out their accessories and blocked his way.

Ma Liangcai, however, looked confident: "General, if I remember correctly, I seemed to have given your Baiyue Army double the amount of food and grass. How come it was eaten up so quickly?"

Bo Lu was slightly startled: "When did you give us double the amount? We obviously only received one copy, and some of them have not been seen yet."

Ma Liangcai deliberately looked confused.

"This is impossible. All military supplies have accounts that can be checked. I did have two copies allocated."

At this moment, a thin man next to him came forward in a panic and knelt in front of Ma Liangcai.

"Lord Xiangguo, news just came in the afternoon that the grain and grass we shipped out were robbed by rioters outside Jiujiang City! I haven't had time to report to you before my subordinates arrive."

Ma Liangcai immediately looked angry, raised his hand and slapped him.

"Why don't you report such an important matter to the truth immediately? If the Hundred Army gets hungry, the truth will kill you alive."

Bolu frowned slightly, and he could naturally tell that Ma Liang was acting.

Since the Allied Forces of the Four Nations entered the city, Chen Song had taken control of Jiujiang City's granaries in advance, so the task of allocating grain fell to Ma Liangcai.

After all, the armies of all countries were on expeditions and did not carry much food and grass. In addition, with the demise of the Southern Qi Dynasty and the Jiang, Wu, and Baiyue armies returning without success, a large amount of money and food was wasted, so it was impossible to transport food and grass for a while.

Arrive in Jiujiang City.

The armies of the two countries could only rely on the food and grass in Jiujiang City to survive.

Bo Lu originally came back from the Southern Qi front line. He knew the situation of his own army, so he naturally valued the food and grass in Jiujiang City very much.

Unexpectedly, Ma Liangcai always withheld food and grass and refused to distribute it, and also delayed it for various reasons.

The excuse for people robbing food was used no less than five times.

The first time, Bolu believed it and personally led his people out of the city to exterminate the rebels. Who knew that they were just a bunch of unarmed refugees.

After killing all the people, they only grabbed a few kilograms of wild vegetable pancakes.

Bolu immediately understood that he had been tricked.

But several times after that, he had to lead his troops out of the city to grab food.

They had no choice but to send troops to seize food. They couldn't just go to war with Chen Song.

Now Chen Song has Nan Chu's backing, and the Baiyue family alone is no match for him.

But like this, snatching it away is not an option.

As early as a few months ago, Zhou Jiangshan had carried out a clearing of the towns and villages within a radius of a hundred miles. It could be said that not a single grain of food could be found near the royal city.

Exhaling slightly, Bolu suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said goodbye.

Originally, he wanted to stay here and wait for the specific plan of the four kingdoms to carve up Lu and Zhou, but now even if he could afford to wait, Baiyue's army stationed in the royal city couldn't afford to wait either.

Anyway, more than a dozen cities in the southeast of Luzhou are already in the hands of Baiyue, which is enough for Baiyue.

The farewell Bo Lu said was to leave here with the army.

A successful smile appeared on Ma Liangcai's lips. Now he only needed to force the armies of Baiyue and Jiang and Wu away, and then he could sit down and discuss with Nanchu the carving up of Lu and Zhou.
