Chapter 202: Having money but not making money is a fool, the lion opens his mouth!
"Burning the food and grass will bring dissatisfaction to both parties, and it will even greatly limit our future development! This is not advisable!"
Liu Lancheng revealed the thoughts in the minds of all the soldiers present. Everyone thought about the quick success, but they did not think about the difficulties of marching westwards later.
There was resistance from Cao Cao at Chenliu in the front, and attacks from Tao Qian, the prefect of Xuzhou, Qi Jiguang of the Han army, Yuan Yi, the new governor of Taishan County, etc. in the north, Qiao Mao in Dongjun County in the north, and Zhang Miao in Shanyang County in the south...
I’m afraid it’s not easy to seize food from the tiger’s mouth!
"To be honest, my lord, I think the governor of Dongjun and the prefect of Shanyang sent by the Han Dynasty are nothing more than wine and rice bags. Their horse dung skin is shiny and there is a bag of chaff inside, so they are nothing to be afraid of.
As long as we defend Cao Cao, the prefect of Chenliu, we can slowly encroach on Yanzhou. At that time, the army will attack Chenliu and kill Cao Cao, and then we can completely occupy Yanzhou!"
Regarding the future development, Liu Lancheng already had an idea in his mind. Even if the Han army asked for more than half of the funds and supplies stored in Mount Tai, he would still give them to him. As long as his army has this batch of food, grass and supplies, the future development will be
It will be much smoother.
"Lord, I would like to personally serve as an envoy to negotiate with the Han army and delay the withdrawal from Taishan County as much as possible so that I can transport food, grass and baggage."
Liu Lancheng took the initiative to negotiate with the Han army, which made all the soldiers present change their expressions upon hearing this, and secretly praised his courage!
Such courage surprised Chen Youliang, and even the poisonous scholar Li Chui couldn't help but look at him sideways.
"Sir has made up his mind, and I can't stop him. May he return with joy!"
Chen Youliang nodded and agreed to Liu Lancheng's request.
After that! Liu Lancheng bowed with his hands, then shook his sleeves, and left the military tent with a smile on his face. Then he heard the horse neighing and roaring...
"Master Military Advisor, you will definitely gain something from this trip!"
Li Chui cupped his hands and said to Chen Youliang. As soon as he said this, all the soldiers present were stunned. If Liu Lancheng could persuade the Han army to give them more time to retreat and transport food and grass, then they would march westward.
The difficulty will be greatly reduced.
At this time, everyone in Chen Youliang's army was expecting Liu Lancheng to bring good news! But Liu Lancheng had already urged his horse and whip, and quickly descended from Mount Tai to meet Han Army General Qi Jiguang and Han Army Military Advisor Dong Zhao!
"Reporting to the general, Taishan Liu Lancheng came here and said that he had something important to discuss with the general in detail. He wanted to enter the account, but I stopped him. He is waiting outside at this time."
The deputy general reported the situation outside the military tent to Qi Jiguang and Dong Zhao! What he said made Qi Jiguang and Dong Zhao look at each other. Just after sending Wu Guang away, Liu Lancheng came again. What did he mean?
If you say you will evacuate from Taishan County in five days, you must evacuate from Taishan County in five days! If the King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, how can he keep you until the fifth watch?
"Come here, bring that Liu Lancheng in. I want to see what this guy is capable of, or what interests I can see."
Qi Jiguang looked disdainful and motioned with his eyes to the general to bring Liu Lancheng in.
Nowadays, the Taishan bandits are in a certain death situation. If they don't deal with Chen Liu and Cao Cao for the sake of future plots, otherwise, Chen Youliang and a large group of people may have killed these thieves by now...
"Liu Lancheng of Mount Tai, pays homage to General Qi! I have admired the general's reputation for a long time, and when I meet him today, his reputation is well-deserved. I wish the general a prosperous career and promotion in the future..."
While Qi Jiguang was thinking secretly, Liu Lancheng was already striding into the military camp. He turned his head and bowed to Qi Jiguang as soon as he saw him.
Save Qi Jiguang’s face.
After this operation, Qi Jiguang was in a good mood, and at the same time he became more cautious and looked squarely at Liu Lancheng in front of him!
"The general is mighty and the military strategist is clever. Liu has already guessed what the two of you are planning, so he came here specially to ask for a few more days so that we can carry some supplies down the mountain.
Then Chen Liu and Cao Cao are very powerful. If we don't have the limitations of food, grass and supplies, we will definitely be able to raise a huge army in a short time to fight against him..."
Liu Lancheng's meaning was very clear. He directly told Dong Zhao and Qi Jiguang that if Chen Youliang's army was to hinder the development of Chen Liu and Cao Cao's army, then this food, grass and materials were indispensable!
"It's ridiculous! It is the emperor's wish to ask you to evacuate Taishan County. How can we postpone it? Wouldn't that be disobeying the emperor's decree? As for the fact that you will encounter Chen Liu and Cao Cao when you go west, that is not something I should consider.
What will Cao Cao do to you, what does it have to do with me? He is a minister of the Han Dynasty, and it is his duty as a minister to kill the remaining sins for the emperor, isn't it?"
Qi Jiguang changed the topic and made his plans vague and pushed away the postponement, hoping to intimidate Liu Lancheng with the edict of Emperor Ling who was far away.
If it were anyone else, he might be intimidated. But who is Liu Lancheng? He joined Taishan early and worked hard under the command of Zhishilang Wang Bo, helping him occupy the entire Taishan County. He was not afraid of Han officials, even if the emperor stood in front of him.
It doesn’t work in front of you!
"In that case... I can only ask my lord to prepare to defend against the mountain. General Qi Jiguang wants us to seek death, so it is better to have a lose-lose situation and fight him to the death, even if it means death.
Put down some back pads.”
Liu Lancheng raised his right hand and pulled off the silk scarf that bound his hair. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were as red as blood. He stared fiercely at Qi Jiguang and Dong Zhao who were sitting on top. This sudden move made Dong Zhao hit him coldly.
A chill.
"Someone, drag this guy out..."
Before Qi Jiguang finished speaking, the military advisor Dong Zhao stood up and walked straight towards Liu Lancheng. He then raised his hand to signal to the surrounding soldiers not to act rashly and to have a few words with Liu Lancheng.
I saw Dong Zhao glance at the superior Qi Jiguang, reminding him to pay attention to his words next. The next step is not a discussion, but a compromise with Chen Youliang's army. One can make them all withdraw from the power of Taishan County without losing their own soldiers.
The scope can also severely damage Cao Cao's compromise!
"Mr. Liu, don't get too excited. Listen to what Dong has to say first."
Seeing that Dong Zhao was willing to talk to him, Liu Lancheng felt happy. This meant that there was hope for the postponement of the retreat and it could be discussed!
Liu Lancheng's attitude changed instantly, and he slowly let out the turbid air accumulated in his chest. He looked at Dong Zhao calmly in front of him, saluted him directly, and opened his mouth to discuss with him the postponement of his retreat.
What Dong Zhao and Liu Lancheng discussed was that they would eat half of the grain, grass and supplies accumulated on Mount Tai in exchange for Chen Youliang's forces delaying their retreat.
"This...half of the food, grass and supplies is really too much. Can you please be accommodating, Master Military Advisor? It's really too much.
The generals on the mountain are furious if we ask for half of the supplies. It is absolutely impossible."
Liu Lancheng directly told Dong Zhao the resolution he had discussed with Chen Youliang and a group of soldiers on the mountain. This made Dong Zhao fall into deep thought, wondering how much food and grass he should swallow, so as not to provoke Chen Youliang's army to counterattack, but also to allow himself to
Make a fortune with your power!
"If that's the case, what about 40% of our army? As long as you can clearly agree, I will go to General Qi to do some work. I will delay it for another five days to give you time to transport supplies and survive westward..."
