Chapter 402 The troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first

There is a famous saying in ancient China: It is called the country's foundation, and enough food is the first priority. In fact, food issues are related to national economy and people's livelihood, and are a major event that has been paid attention to in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Even the emperors of the prosperous Roman Empire, Persian Empire, Byzantine Empire, and Han Empire also regard the reserve of grain and grass as one of the strategic measures of the emperor. The emperors all understand the key to "storing grain" and understand that grain storage plays a huge role in "stabilizing grain prices, regulating the market; relieving disasters and preparing for shortages, calming the people and consolidating the foundation; supporting the army, preparing for war."

In the Han Dynasty, since Liu Bang, he attached great importance to the construction of central warehouses and also paid great attention to the storage of grain by local governments. However, the grain and grass stored in different types of warehouses are very different. For example, the famous Taicang, Ganquan Cang in Ganquan, Huacang in Hua County, Xiliu Cang and Jiacang nearby were all large warehouses with amazing reserves directly controlled by the central government. These official warehouses either settled in prosperous places or settled near the royal capital, so for Lu Bu, who was far away in the frontier, they could only be envious and could not enjoy them.

Expedition to the Xianbei is a huge battle and a long journey. The areas along the way are either vast and vast yellow sand or rugged hilly terrain. Of course, after the bitterness is over, you will encounter the green grasslands that cannot see the sky at a glance.

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. A famous person said it is right. War is just logistics. Without money and food support, my stomach is shouting when fighting!

Lu Bu was also worried about this and his hair turned white. His temples looked a little whiter, and he looked even more vicissitudes, one was tough and one was heroic.

In desperation, he had to collect grain from the people on the spot. This method was the result of public resentment. Therefore, Lu Bu did not come forward in person, but forced the command of the three-party alliance to Zhao Guangyi, the prefect of Yanmen County, to collect grain everywhere in Yanmen County.

Ding Yuan was another force. Seeing Lu Bu's extremely powerful order, he followed suit without hesitation and ordered the weakest of the three parties to collect grain.

Zhao Guangyi's half-white worries turned into white, but since he boarded the giant ships of Lu Bu and Ding Yuan, he could not tolerate any hesitation. He gritted his teeth and red eyes. He issued an order to force the collection of grain from all over Yanmen County, and transferred a large part of the official grain from all over Yanmen County to use the bottomless pit to conquer the Xianbei.

After one month, under the "iron-blooded" method of the prefect of Yanmen County, the people of Yanmen County were in a state of resentment. Under the hamster-like harvest, a total of 100,000 stones of old grain and 30,000 stones of new grain were mobilized. Under the strong recommendation of Lu Bu and Ding Yuan, the position of a high-powered "escort officer" was handed over to Zhao Guangyi to serve as a part-time position.

In war, food and grass are needed to feed, and the food channels are always open. The longer the food channels are, the more passive the position they are in the battle situation. If the two sides play chess, if the enemy's food channels are twice as short as their own, the chance of defeating this battle will be no less than 50%.

The powerful Central Plains dynasties in all dynasties were not unwilling to take the frontier territory at the core, but were actually burdened by the long frontline. Even if they were ever-changing elites and martial arts, if they were rushing thousands of miles and failing to get supplies from the long grain road, they would be buried in the long wilderness and yellow sand.

From the moment Lu Bu decided to conquer the Xianbei, he was destined to go against the will of heaven and carry out the visions that emperors of all dynasties think and think! If the terrain is unfavorable, defeat it! If the food and grass are insufficient, defeat it! Either win or defeat it, and you will be willing to take the risk of overturning and destroying it!!!!!!!

Half a month is like a passing cup of water, leaving in a hurry.

As winter goes and spring comes, the biting cold air gradually fades away like a flowing wind. The green grass grows like rain and dew. The parrots and parrots stop from the migration and fall into the sea of ​​sandbanks, playing and drinking water.

The season when all things are revived, all the beauty that should have been broken by the rapid gathering of soldiers and drums.

Outside Liangcheng, a vast schoolyard rose up in two months, towering, towering and solemn! Hundreds of newly planted willow locust trees grew new buds in the schoolyard. Faced with the whistling spring breeze, the sound of drums that sounded through the sky and the earth, watching groups of soldiers emitting dangerous murderous aura rushing towards the open space, gathering into a sea of ​​growth, and forming a square array.

On the huge open space, two huge square arrays gathered, clearly arranged on both sides of the east and west.

The square array on the left is like a pitch-black cold curtain in the middle, wrapped by the bright rings of fire around it. Layers of mysterious aura are transmitted from the cold curtain in the middle to the rings, forming a ***** scene with coldness and flames intertwined.

The square array on the right is like a gorgeous rainbow in the middle, surrounded by sharp swords that are as dark as blood-red around them. The layers of aura that looks proud of the sky are infected by the sharp sword array from the long rainbow in the middle, forming a chaotic scene where the arrogant clouds are soaked in the sky.

"Haha, Fengxian, can we look at our army formation be majestic? Although your army formation is elite, it still lacks the courage to be proud!"

"Brother Jianyang's military power really looks majestic, but after fighting, I will know how powerful it is!"

Who would have thought that in the fortress of the Thirteen Prefectures, the war god Lu Bu, who had the power to the top, and the governor Ding Yuan, who had the power to the top, were sitting in the clear blue sky, chatting and laughing.

"There is always a chance to fight! But our worldly enemy is a wolf-like Xianbei people. Fengxian must take care of the spear in his hand and don't stab the wrong ass!" Ding Yuan frowned and said in a pun.

"A certain weapon is not a gun, but a Fang Tian Hua Ji! Unlike Brother Jianyang, whether he is on the battlefield or a beauty in his arms, he will shout a spear and hold it!" Lu Bu smiled.

Ding Yuan was so angry that he was aware of Lu Bu's arrogance and war, but he did not expect that Lu Bu would have such a proud attitude when facing him, a quasi-ally who needed to win over the enemy.

"Beat the drum, parade!" Ding Yuan suddenly shouted.

Boom boom boom! The drum beat, which was denser than the drum beat, resounded like a sea of ​​thunder. Suddenly, in the elusive military formation in the clinic, the soldiers who were already energetic became more and more fierce! His eyes widened into a round cake, looking at Ding Yuan, who was gradually growing in white hair, and stood proudly.

Ding Yuan exhaled his nostrils and slowly said under the gaze of countless eyes: Xianbei, invade the territory of our Han Dynasty! Kill my border people! Burn my towns and villages! You, as guardians of the border of the Han Dynasty, said, should they kill?

There were waves of whispering sounds in Ding Yuan's military formation. Most of the soldiers from the three counties of Taiyuan were old county soldiers, and had long suffered from the Xianbei invasion. Many veterans could not help but appear in the eyes of the ferocious and terrifying scenes of the Xianbei iron cavalry attacking the border like locusts. They gradually showed a look of fear and fear. However, the next moment, everything in front of them turned into the bones all over the ground. They were sad and angry, helpless, and aroused the blood color of wanting to roar to the sky and kill back, which condensed in the eyes of these veterans.

"Kill!" I don't know who made a loud roar first, and it spread like Donomian dominoes to all directions. The murderous roar suddenly resounded.

Ding Yuan looked at the soldiers who were aroused by the morale in satisfaction and raised his hand: Although the Xianbei is difficult to deal with, the Xianbei is in chaos, which is a good opportunity for heaven! The troops followed the generals, killed all the captives and broke through the royal court!

Drawing his sword, pointing at the sky angrily, Ding Yuan roared wildly, the wind blew, and his clothes were shivering!

"Kill all the captives and break through the royal court!"

"Kill all the captives and break through the royal court!"

"Kill all the captives and break through the royal court!"

The roar that was raising hissing was like a substantial sound wave beam, entering the sky. The shocking sound of thousands of people roaring together will surely linger in my ears for a long time.

Ding Yuan was carrying a tiger step, exuding a compelling momentum all over his body, and slowly sat back. His eyes looked at Lu Bu without any concealment and provocation, but wanted to see how Lu Bu was parading military parade!

Lu Bu stood up, and his aura changed between movement and stillness.

The tiger's eyes, broad back, and long body, were like a sleeping male squad suddenly awakening.

The most central camp, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the Wu Ruizhang, were originally mysterious as if shrouded in a veil, and the soldiers with calm and indifferent eyes gradually burned into their eyes, and this gradually rising fanaticism became more and more prosperous.

Lu Bu, in Lu Bu's army, some soldiers did not even think he was a person, but thought he was a god! This idea that was almost faithful in the hearts of many veterans was the reputation accumulated by Lu Bu leading them to experience bloody battles and unbelievable achievements!

Many veterans always believed that no matter how difficult the sky and the earth fell, Lu Bu, a man like a war god, would lead them to victory!

Lu Bu walked step by step to the center of the open-air terrace, and under his passionate eyes, he said in a deep voice: There is a hero named Tan Shihuai, who is a rare hero in the Xianbei for nearly a hundred years. He unified the Xianbei in the chaos in all directions with his own strength!

There were riots in Ding Yuan's army, and his eyes were confused. Could it be that Lu Bu was so angry that he destroyed his might? But seeing that Lu Bu Jun still had a fanatical expression, he had to listen patiently.

"But: He is dead!" Lu Bu spoke quickly and quickly: Who is the one who killed him? Who is the army that defeated him? It's us. This army is called Lu Bu's army, so although Tan Shihuai was not killed by my general, who dares to say that he is just dead in your hands?"

"What is the dead master? It's called ashes! He has a useless son named Helian, who attacks his father in the name of revenge. He is known as a hundred thousand Xianbei cavalry, but in the end, he died! There are another 30,000 Xianbei people accompanying him to hell!"

"Therefore: If the Xianbei people are not convinced, they will kill them if they see them!" Lu Bu sneered!

It was not until Lu Bu's back turned and sat down that there were waves of uncontrollable whispers coming from Lu Bu's military formation: If you don't accept it, you will kill it when you see it. How can the passionate blood not be boiling for it?

Of course, Lu Bu did not forget to have a cordial conversation with his ally Ding Yuan, and asked with a smile: Could the god-given opportunity Brother Jianyang mentioned was caused by our army?
