The grain transporter could not help but say in frustration: "Your Majesty, it's not that the lower officials don't want to transport so much food. In fact, there are not much food in Zhuti County. All the remaining ones have been transported by the lower officials. Even if the lower officials want to transport more, Zhuti County has no extra food."

When he heard the words of the grain transport officer, Lu Bu was shocked and asked, "How could this happen? Didn't I ask them to transport enough food? How could Zhuti County have no food?"

The grain transporter said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Zhuti County, has encountered the same problem as Yueshi County. Although there is already alert there, it may be difficult to raise food in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Bu couldn't help but take a breath, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Not only did the Shu Han purchase a large amount of grain in Yuezhi County, but they even did the same thing in Zhuti County. What exactly do they want to do?

Now it is leaking and raining all night, and it is actually a heavy snow that has not been seen in a century. It will become even more difficult to transport food.

If there is not enough food, hiss!

Lu Bu couldn't help but take a breath.

"Give orders immediately and order soldiers to clear the road with all their might to ensure the smooth flow of food. Food must be transported in time."

If the food cannot be transported in time, big things will happen and the consequences will be unpredictable.

Next, Lu Bu found the military logistics officer and asked him: "How much food is left in the army now? How long can soldiers eat it?"

The logistics officer couldn't help but answered: "Your Majesty, the food in the army can last at most half a month. After half a month, I'm afraid it will be--"

What? The surplus grain is only enough to last for half a month?

Lu Bu's face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help but say, "Okay, I know, you go down. By the way, food matters must be kept strictly confidential and must not be disclosed."

The logistics officer nodded and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order."

After the logistics officer went down, Lu Bu ordered someone to call Qian Ren, the governor of Yueshi County.

"Mr. Qian, how much surplus grain is left in Yueshi County now? How long can the people eat?"

Qian Ren couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, there is not much surplus grain in Yueshi County now. I guess I can last for at most twenty days and no more."

Can you only last twenty days?

After hearing the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but take a breath again.

Now there are 25,000 soldiers stationed in Yueshi County, while the total population of Yueshi County is about 60,000.

Twenty days take time!

Within twenty days, food must be transported in, otherwise the soldiers and the people will be hungry!

...

At night, another bad news came.

The road you must pass to transport grain can be obtained by a mountain pass, and the mountain collapses and completely blocks the road.

Now it is snowing heavily, and it will probably take at least half a month to clear a road that can be passed through.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Bu's face became even more serious.

Suddenly, Lu Bu thought of a question and couldn't help but sigh: "This must be the demon Zhuge is making trouble!"

Jia Xu beside Lu Bu asked in shock: "Master, are you talking about Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Shu Han? But how is this possible?"

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "As early as when we attacked Nanzhong, Shu Han took the initiative to ask for peace and was willing to ced Nanzhong, I felt that there was something tricky inside. If I was not wrong, from that time on, Zhuge Demon Man was planning."

"He left enough people to make various arrangements on the mountain roads everywhere. Just when the university arrived, he could order people to collapse the mountain roads and block the roads for transporting food."

"Before this, he had purchased all the grain from several counties in advance. Now the grain road is blocked and there is no food, so it is difficult for us to spend this winter."

After listening to Lu Bu's analysis, Jia Xu couldn't help but stutter: "Emperor, although Zhuge Liang is resourceful, he is a human and not a god after all. How could he calculate so long in advance until such heavy snow this winter? How could he calculate that the emperor will come to the county more and more? If he can calculate so accurately, he will really become a god!"

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "This year is the year when the Twelve Dragons govern the water. Perhaps he has other means to predict that there will be heavy snow this winter! Furthermore, planning is up to people, and success is up to heaven."

"He may not be able to accurately predict that it will snow so heavily this winter, but as long as this is possible, he will make preparations and will never miss this opportunity."

"After all, even if they fail, there will be no loss for them. Once they succeed, they will be very sure that they will be able to retake Nanzhong after the snow melts."

"As for me to appear in Yueshi County, he definitely couldn't calculate it at that time. But his original purpose was not to plot against me. My arrival was just an unexpected surprise for them."

After hearing Lu Bu's explanation, Jia Xu reluctantly accepted it.

However, in my heart, I refreshed my understanding of Zhuge Liang again.

No wonder the Lord Guild called him Zhuge Demon. His performance was indeed monster enough.

Jia Xu couldn't help but frown and said, "If this was really something Zhuge Liang had planned long ago, he would definitely not just block this road."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Zhuge Liang acted in a meticulous and thoughtful manner, and would definitely make plans for all parties. Therefore, he would not allow us to open the road easily. Now he can order all the soldiers to be withdrawn."

In Lu Bu's view, not only is the efficiency of cleaning the road in the snow and ice, but it is also a huge consumption of the soldiers' physical strength.

And even if this road is cleaned, there will definitely be several roads to be cleaned later, and there is no time left.

Instead of letting soldiers consume a lot of physical energy and do useless work, it is better to just withdraw the person.

Jia Xu couldn't help but ask with concern: "Master, but in this way, wouldn't we give up all the only opportunity?"

Lu Bu pondered: "If we think of other ways, there will always be solutions."

Jia Xu nodded and went down to issue an order to withdraw all the soldiers.

...

During dinner that night, the eunuch who followed Lu Bu delivered dishes to Lu Bu, and there were sixteen exquisite dishes.

This is because in winter, many fresh vegetables are difficult to get.

"Prince, please have a meal!"

When Lu Bu saw so many exquisite dishes, his brows frowned and ordered the eunuch, "Little Guizi, send the order. From tomorrow on, my diet is the same as that of ordinary soldiers, and I am not allowed to be special!"
