"For the present plan, I think we can only transport food from Jingzhou as soon as possible." Wang Lei said.
"This is not an option either."
Zhuge Liang slowly shook his head and said: "Jingzhou has always had grain and grass shipped in, but the consumption is too great."
During the war between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, grain and grass from Jingzhou had already begun to be transported in, but the road was long and rugged, and a soldier often needed more than three times the amount of grain and grass he usually consumed. In other words, the grain and grass from Jingzhou could be used for emergencies, but not for a long time. rely.
What's more, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he felt that there was no need to transport grain from Jingzhou, so he stopped for a while. After Liu Zhe came, he had to order people to transport grain from Jingzhou again, but in fact there was not much.
"Now it's useless even if you want to transport more food and grass in. The road is just like that. There are more people and more consumption. In a word, water from afar cannot save the fire near.
"When can King Chu defeat King Liu Zhe of Yan?" Dong He simply asked.
Zhuge Liang also felt very troubled by this question, and it was difficult for him to answer.
If Liu Zhe was really going to be easily defeated, then Liu Bei would not have to take his men directly to Fucheng to suppress the battle, let alone his generals who would be captured repeatedly.
"How is Nanzhong?"
Zhuge Liang thought for a long time and suddenly asked this question.
"Nanzhong?" Dong He and Wang Lei looked at each other.
Wang Lei understood what Zhuge Liang meant and asked, "Does the Prime Minister want to collect grain and grass from the south?"
"That's right."
¡°This may be a bit difficult,¡± Dong He said.
??Nanzhong, later Yunnan, Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan and northern Myanmar, where barbarians and Han people lived together.
When Liu Yan and Liu Zhang governed Yizhou, they did not have much control over Nanzhong. They ruled Nanzhong more through the power of Nanzhong. The two sides had more of a joint relationship.
When Liu Bei invaded Yizhou, Liu Zhang was able to mobilize troops from Nanzhong to deal with Liu Bei, but the response from Nanzhong was mediocre.
After Liu Zhang surrendered, the governors of various counties in Nanzhong also expressed their surrender to Liu Bei.
It seems that the counties in Nanzhong have surrendered to Liu Bei and accepted Liu Bei, but Zhuge Liang knows exactly how much control Liu Bei has over Nanzhong.
Zhuge Liang looked at the map of the counties in Nanzhong, and he knew that none of them really belonged to Liu Bei.
"Send people to tell the governors of the cities in Nanzhong and ask them to collect grain and grass." Zhuge Liang said calmly.
"Prime Minister, this may be difficult."
Dong He said, "If those powerful people are displeased and the barbarians are dissatisfied, I am afraid there will be a rebellion."
Now Liu Bei is facing off against Liu Zhe in Fucheng. If there is a rebellion in Nanzhong, it will have a great impact on Liu Bei, and there may even be rebellions in other places in Yizhou.
"Prime Minister, think twice."
Wang Lei also tried to persuade Zhuge Liang. He was speechless towards Zhuge Liang. Liu Zhe hadn't made up his mind yet and went to provoke the people in Nanzhong. Was this to kill Liu Bei?
Once Nanzhong rebels, the consequences will be quite serious.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhuge Liang had his own idea. He said, "Just send someone to deliver the order. I have my own opinion."
"Prime Minister, what if the people in Nanzhong refuse?" Wang Lei asked again.
"Yes, even if Nanzhong agrees to requisition grain and grass, how much grain and grass can be obtained?" Dong He also said.
Neither he nor Wang Lei had confidence in how much grain and grass they could mobilize from Nanzhong.
Zhuge Liang fell silent. He thought for a long time and finally said, "Let's go and see how long Yizhou's food and grass can last."
Finally, Zhuge Liang looked at the long white clouds outside the door and said slowly, "I am going to go to Fucheng in person."
"The Prime Minister is going to Fucheng?" Dong and Wang Lei were surprised.
"That's right."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "I am going to help King Chu to see if I can defeat Liu Zhe."
Zhuge Liang was unsure. No matter how confident he was in his abilities, he still had no confidence that he could help Liu Bei defeat Liu Zhe right away.
"Prime Minister."
Wang Lei stared at Zhuge Liang and asked directly, "What if there is no way to defeat Liu Zhe? What does the Prime Minister plan to do?"
Wang Lei didn¡¯t have so many scruples. Unlike others, even if he was worried, he didn¡¯t dare to ask questions for fear of offending Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
"So, I want you and the other two to find out whether the food and grass in Yizhou is still there."How long can it last? "
"Let's see how much time we have."
"What if time is running out?" Wang Lei asked again.
This time Zhuge Liang fell silent. He had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't express it, at least not in front of people like Wang Lei.
"So be it."
Zhuge Liang avoided talking about this issue. He said to Wang Lei and Dong He, "While I am away from Chengdu, I will leave everything to you two."
After speaking, Zhuge Liang bowed to the two of them, and asked Dong He and Wang Lei to say hurriedly, "Whatever the Prime Minister said, we and I will do our best."
After Dong and Wang Lei retreated, Zhuge Liang found Wei Yan.
"I am going to Fucheng."
Zhuge Liang said to Wei Yan, "When you are in Chengdu, don't mess up. Once someone makes trouble, don't be soft."
"Prime Minister, why don't you let your subordinates go to Fucheng to help the King of Chu?" Wei Yan said dissatisfied.
He was sitting in Chengdu and had nothing to do.
Zhuge Liang said slowly: "You sit in Chengdu and protect the safety of Chengdu, which is the best help to the King of Chu" (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
