Chapter 937 Shi Huan brings food to Fangling
Xu Huang asked the Liangzhou Army messenger whether to go with Shi Huan to see the food and grass. The purpose is very simple, which means whether you Liangzhou Army people need to supervise it. After all, it is 40% of the food and grass, so Xu Huang thinks that the other party will not sit idly by.
But the Liangzhou Army firmly said that there was no need to go, which made Xu Huang think that the other party believed in him and the Yanzhou Army. However, he also knew the specific thoughts in the Liangzhou Army messenger's mind, and he didn't know if he would vomit blood.
The messenger of the Liangzhou Army certainly understood what Xu Huang meant, but to him, these really didn't matter. He thought to himself before, let alone 40% of the food and grass in your army, even 100% of the food and grass, so what can it do? His general and the two generals don't care how much you can bring out.
Besides, the supplies of our Liangzhou army can be said to be more than ten times that of your Yanzhou army, so will you still care about your little things? So, you won’t care about how much you take. If you don’t care about it, you won’t care about it. If you don’t care about it, you won’t think that it’s too much. If you don’t have too much, you won’t think about it. That’s it.
-----------------------------------------------------
However, this was just what the Liangzhou Army messenger thought, but Xu Huang didn't know anything about it at all. If he knew, he would never think that the other party believed in him, so that's why. To be honest, it was precisely because he didn't know the situation that Xu Huang thought that the other party believed in his own party and believed in himself. He was happy and proud.
Shi Huan went down to count the food and grass, of course it was impossible to give the other party 40%. Even if it was 30%, it might not be possible to get there. After all, the so-called "You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a ladder" is actually just like that. Otherwise, "There are policies above and countermeasures below." Not to mention that the messenger of the Liangzhou Military Capital did not follow him at all and supervise him to count the food and grass, even if the person came, he still couldn't find any problem. He thought Xu Huang gave them 40% of the food and grass in their own army.
After all, ordinary people don’t think about finding problems. Unless you are those strategists, it is possible that they are just ordinary messengers. Maybe they are some strategists? Besides, none of them followed, so Shi Huan was not worried about anything. But he didn’t know. They didn’t care about this at all, that is, they were both him and Xu Huang. They cared about this, but they didn’t take what they cared about at all.
Fortunately, he and Xu Huang didn't know about these things, otherwise they would have looked very good.
-----------------------------------------------------
After Shi Huan finished counting, he returned to the tent and came to report to his general.
"Report to the general, the food and grass will be counted, and 40% of the food and grass will be a little bit too!"
Xu Huang smiled slightly, then looked at the Liangzhou Army messenger and said, "I wonder if the messenger will leave the account to see?"
The messenger also smiled and waved his hand, "General, you don't need to see if you are down. Let's go to Fangling as soon as possible, after all, I have been out for a long time!"
This is exactly what Xu Huang was thinking, but Xu Huang didn't show it at all. He just said, "Since that's the case, I won't leave more messengers! Messenger, please!"
The Liangzhou Army messenger understood that Xu Huang was going to see him off, which was exactly what he wanted. He actually thought so, because before coming, his generals made it clear that he and the people sent by Xu Huang would come to Fangling quickly and solve Lu Jian's affairs soon, and it would be better.
-----------------------------------------------------
So he always remembered what his commander and the two generals said, so that the messenger did not dare to neglect at all, for fear that he would be too late to go back and would be punished. After all, his commander and the two generals were actually very strict.
In this way, Xu Huang kept sending the Liangzhou Army messenger and Shi Huan out of the camp. Of course, there were hundreds of Yanzhou soldiers who were escorting food and grass. Of course, they had to go to Fangling, otherwise, Shi Huan and Liangzhou Army messenger could escort so much food and grass? Not to mention the two of them, even a hundred of them would have no choice.
After sending out of the camp, Xu Huang stopped leaving. It was almost done. Even if they were sent out for ten miles, it would be useless. So in Xu Huang's opinion, it was almost done. If he had reached his own intention, it would be enough. Besides, the other party was just an enemy messenger, and he could still send out ten miles. Even if Wang Kang came in person, he would not have done that. If Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi were there, it would be possible, but this matter would be impossible. After all, could Ma Chao come here?
After Xu Huang stopped moving, he bowed his hand to the two and said, "Two, you have a good journey. When you see General Wang and others, say hello to them on my behalf!"
-----------------------------------------------------
The Liangzhou Army messenger smiled, "Please rest assured, General, everything is covered by your body, and you will definitely bring this to you!"
Xu Huang laughed, "Hahaha, I'm working hard!"
The Liangzhou Army envoy got on the war horse and bowed to Xu Huang and the others, "Goodbye, everyone!"
Shi Huan had already gotten on the horse, and then bowed to Xu Huang and the others and said, "General, everyone, there will be a date in the future!"
Xu Huang nodded to the two of them, and then watched them leave as they escorted the food and grass. At this time, Xu Huang said to himself, "Lu Jian, Lu Jian, I hope you can return safely. That's all I can do for you."
After Shi Huan and the others walked away, Xu Huang returned to the camp and then asked the soldiers to send news, saying that they had used 40% of their own food and grass to redeem Lu Jian. I had never told the soldiers of Yanzhou before, but at this time, I must have said it. If they didn't say it, they would know sooner or later, and it would be better to know it before I knew it, so Xu Huang asked the soldiers to spread the news.
-----------------------------------------------------
As a result, as Xu Huang expected, after the news was passed, it can be said that most of the soldiers in Yanzhou had no objection. Even though there was not much food or grass in the army now, they knew that it was worth it to take out 40% of their food and grass now compared to General Lu Jian. However, after that, those who were soldiers would have to cut back their food. However, as long as they could arrive in Xiangyang as soon as possible, what would they do? The soldiers knew about it.
After that, he rested for another hour. Xu Huang sent an order to ask everyone to pull out the camp and made it clear that his own food and grass have been reduced by 40%, so he must hurry to Xiangyang. Although the soldiers still complained after hearing this. After all, they didn't have a long rest this time, but they heard that it was because of the lack of food and grass, so they had no choice. After all, most of them agreed to redeem Lu Jian with food and grass.
So they didn't say anything about the actions of our generals. So because of food and grass, they had to rush on their way as soon as possible, and they didn't say anything in the end. After all, since this is the case with food and grass, they could only work harder and arrive in Xiangyang early.
-----------------------------------------------------
Originally, letting the soldiers know about their own food and grass, this is a taboo. Of course, if there is too much food and grass, there is nothing left, but the food and grass are not good, so this...
But it was because of Lu Jian that Xu Huang let the soldiers know the current situation of his own food and grass. He believed that this would not only not have a bad effect, but would also have a promoting effect on his own. The result was indeed as he thought.
Xu Huang led nearly 10,000 soldiers to march eastward and headed straight to Xiangyang. For him, of course, he would arrive in Xiangyang as soon as possible. This is not only a problem of food and grass for his own side. After all, his lord had long hoped that he could return to Xiangyang early, but now he will see...
So although Xu Huang didn't know the specific situation in Xiangyang, he definitely knew that his lord had already been unable to wait, so maybe he might not have led his troops out of Xiangyang. As for the specific ones, he didn't know. After all, he was surrounded by Liangzhou troops before, and then he came out, so it was normal for the intelligence to be blocked, and it was normal for him to not know the specific ones.
-----------------------------------------------------
Shi Huan and the messenger of the Liangzhou Army went west and returned to Fangling. However, this time it was different from before. This time it was to redeem Lu Jian from his side with food and grass, rather than doing anything else.
The speed was quite fast. The two of them and the soldiers of Yanzhou who were escorting food and grass finally arrived in Fangling on this day. For Shi Huan, this was half successful now. Although he had known that Shi Huan and the others had arrived, Wang Kang and the others had no action. They were just a deputy general under Xu Huang, so they naturally would not pay attention to it. If Xu Huang came in person, they might have gone out of the city to greet him. As for Shi Huan, who knows which onion you are?
Of course, it was impossible for the soldiers of Yanzhou to let them enter Fangling, so they could only wait outside the city with food and grass, while the messenger of the Liangzhou army brought Shi Huan, the representative of the Yanzhou army, to the mansion of Wang Kang and others.
Here, Shi Huan met Wang Kang, and the Liangzhou Army messenger also had a job with his commander and general.
Shi Huan quickly saw him and said, "Shi Huan, the deputy general under the tent of General Xu Huang of Yanzhou Army, has met General Wang and two more generals!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Wang Kang first sent away his messenger, and then said to Shi Huan, "Please sit down!"
"Thank you, General Wang!"
Wang Kang nodded, and then told the truth about Pang Rou and Wang Ping who were here. At this time, there were only four of them in the room. After seeing each other's courtesy, no one said anything.
Shi Huan saw that the scene was a little awkward at this time, so he said first, "General Wang and the two generals, General Gongming, my family, used 40% of our food and grass to redeem General Lu Jian. I wonder how many generals think our army is so sincere?"
When Wang Kang and the other two heard this, they looked at each other and said to themselves, we are not greedy for the things of your Yanzhou army. It is mainly your attitude, and it is enough to have the attitude. As for the others, to be honest, we did not ask you to redeem Lu Jian for materials, haha, Lu Jian is the other person. For our own side, it may be of great use.
At this time, Pang Rou smiled and said, "General Xu Huang is indeed sincere enough, but the current situation..."
-----------------------------------------------------
Shi Huan said whatever he had, and said this to Wang Kang and the other two. The meaning was simple. That is to say, we have all used 40% of the food and grass for Lu Jian. You can see how sincere our army is. If it works, then hand Lu Jian over to me and it's all done.
However, when he heard Pang Rou's words, the first half was better, but afterwards, what does it mean, "but the current situation". Although Pang Rou's words were not finished, Shi Huan didn't know what the tone of this turning point meant. When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought that he had come here from all the way, and you, Liangzhou Army, shouldn't regret it. If you really change your mind directly, this matter would be interesting.
You are not afraid of embarrassing, but how can you explain to your general? How can you explain to your soldiers? You think that 30% of your own food and grass can be so easy to take out? If it weren't for Lu Jian, your general would definitely not be willing to take out 30% of your own food and grass at once. Originally, there would be not much food and grass at first. Now you take away 30% of your own food and grass, which is really a waste of money.
-----------------------------------------------------
However, Shi Huan must not say this to Wang Kang and the others, and he could only hold it in his heart. However, when he looked at the few people, he was a little unfriendly. After all, if you respect me, I will naturally respect you, but if you "do the opposite way", then how can you say that we can respect you?
It seemed that Shi Huan was not very friendly, Pang Rou smiled and said hurriedly, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. Since I said General Xu is sincere, there must be no problem with this matter!"
Pang Rou's words made Shi Huan feel relieved for the time being, but he was still a little puzzled, so he asked, "So what General Pang meant before?"
When Pang Rou heard this, she sighed and said, "It's better to know this than General Xu. That's General Lu Jian, but now she's injured, so..."
Pang Rou's meaning is that Lu Jian is still injured now, so it is not advisable to move around, let alone traveling far away immediately.
-----------------------------------------------------
However, when Shi Huan heard Pang Rou's words, he rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that he was injured. Didn't it all for you to make up the injuries? When Lu Jian was captured alive by you, there was no injury, but it was because you hit him hard that he became like this!
Unfortunately, it was "people are under the roof". Shi Huan didn't dare to say anything. If the other party was angry and refused to exchange with him, he would have no place to cry. When he left with his troops and food, would he still not see the expectations of his general for him and others? If he could not bring Lu Jian back, he would have no face to see his general and would have no shame to meet his brothers.
However, Shi Huan also understood that Pang Rou and the others had no intention of not letting go. If they really wanted to do that, they could actually have millions of ways to rude, but they didn't. Just use this most appropriate word, and it is not a word of ruling.
So Shi Huan asked directly, "I wonder if I can see General Lu Jian!"
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Wang Kangze spoke, "Of course, it's OK at this time, please!"
Shi Huan smiled at the three of them, "Three, please!"
Seeing that the three of them agreed, Shi Huan certainly didn't doubt anything. Indeed, Wang Kang and the others wanted Shi Huan to take Lu Jian away quickly and return to the Yanzhou army. However, if their side showed too much enthusiasm, it would definitely make Cao Cao and Xu Huang and others suspicious. Even Shi Huan in front of them would probably not think that they were so easy to meet, so Wang Kang and the others would certainly not express the intention of letting Lu Jian leave immediately.
As for Shi Huan, how could he know this? If the person who came here was a very powerful strategist, he might be able to really see the thoughts of Wang Kang and the other two. But Shi Huan, it’s not that he underestimated him, but his Taoism is so far away.
It's true, let alone him, even if Xu Huang comes in person, he may not be able to see anything, so what else can he count on Shi Huan?
Wang Kang and others were in front of him and led Shi Huan to Lu Jian's house, but Lu Jian was still recovering from his injuries in the house.
