"What? Let me go?!" Sun Gan was stunned. He was determined to die. Before he died, he only wanted to get a whole body. But now the summit rotated, and a 360-degree turn was made. Not only did he not have to die, but he would also be released? How could this not surprise Sun Gan, but even though he was surprised, Sun Gan still knew the conspiracy. He knew that there was no free lunch in this world. "You don't want me to be a secret spy under my lord, right?!" Sun Gan looked at Liu Mang and Liu Ye very vigilantly. Although he didn't have to die, Sun Gan was very happy, but he would not betray Liu Bei. "If you think so, then you should die! Please kill my Sun Gan, Sun Gongyou!" Sun Gan said with great fear.

"Haha" Liu Mang really looked at this Sun Gan more. Although his character is not very good and his ability is not very good, at least this person is a truly loyal person to Liu Bei. Compared with some people on the surface, they are actually much better than those with a very good appearance.

"Mr. Sun Gan, you are too worried! I will not let Mr. Sun Gan be undercover. This is an insult to me, and these two are also a humiliation to Mr. Sun Gan! I have no conditions to Mr. Sun Gan, just want to let Mr. Sun Gan go." Liu Mang was very generous. He originally wanted to get the 20,000 stones of food and grass. Now that the 20,000 stones of food and grass are gone, Sun Gan has no use.

"I thank Your Highness the King of Shu for this!" Sun Gan was suspicious and clasped his fists at Liu Mang.

"But!" Liu Mang suddenly turned around, which made Sun Gan feel disdainful. As expected, there are still conditions! "Are the dignified king who broke his promise and became fat? If that's the case, I, Sun Gan, will accept it. Kill my Sun Gan!" Sun Gan is very tough now.

"Mr. Sun Gan. I said that if I let him go, I will naturally not hurt him at all, but now is not the time to let him go!" Liu Mang shook his head and smiled at Sun Gan and said, "If I let him go in public now, the sir would have to go back to Runan and to General Zuo?"

"This!" Sun Gan thought carefully, yes, if Liu Mang put Sun Gan back openly, Sun Gan would really not be able to go back to Liu Bei's command. After all, you are a captured person. You have not suffered any injuries, nothing happened, and you are back in a swagger. Who would believe it if you say it out!

"So Mr. Sun Gan is sorry!" Liu Mang suddenly laughed. This strange smile made Sun Gan feel uneasy. Sure enough, Liu Mang shouted loudly, "Bold Sun Gan, you dare to play tricks on me and let the 20,000 stones of food and grass burn. Do you really think I dare not kill you!"

Sun Gan is not a fool either. When he saw Liu Mang's voice, he also talked, "Pseudo-King, I want to get my Lord's food and grass to dream. Even if I die, my Sun Gan will not hand him over to you!" He said that no one in the Three Kingdoms acting is not a good actor.

"If you want to die, I will fulfill your wishes. Come on, tie Sun Gan up and throw it into the sea of ​​fire. I want him to be buried with these 20,000 stones of food and grass!" Liu Mang shouted angrily, "Yes!" Several city-level soldiers were ordered to step forward and tie Sun Gan up. One of them whispered to Sun Gan, "Sir, this rope is buckled. As long as you struggle hard, you can break free. In the future, we will throw Mr. into a large hill full of water. The water inside is enough for Mr. to survive. There is also Mr.'s food for dozens of days in the water tank!" As he said that, Sun Gan was tied up and pressed towards the fire.

"Pseudo-King, Liu Mang, you despicable villain, this hypocrite, the scum of a big man!" Sun Gan was thrown into a water tank while shouting and cursing. Sun Gan's voice gradually became weaker, as if he had been executed.

Seeing the two urban management soldiers coming back again, the fire seemed to be even bigger. Liu Ye then asked, "My lord, are you really going to send Sun Gan back? Although Sun Gan doesn't surrender now, Ye is sure to convince him!" Liu Ye clasped his fists at Liu Mang and said, Sun Gan is also the talent of a county magistrate. Liu Mang has three counties in Yangzhou, Shouchun, Hefei and Anfeng counts, but Liu Mang has no three people who can govern a county. Liu Mang has great talents who can govern a county, only Xu Shu and Liu Ye and Yang Hong include one, Huang Zhong can do it, but Xu Shu and Liu Mang need him to help govern the entire Yangzhou. How can he manage a county? It's really a waste of talent. What Liu Ye needs most is that Liu Ye takes those The books he brought back were realized one by one. You must know that if his industrial zone really formed a scale, it would be ahead of the world for many years. Now there are crossbows and crossbows and cement, which will bring such changes to Liu Mang's army. If some gunpowder is studied later, it will be a big hit. Yang Hong needs to be responsible for the information under Liu Mang, and it is also an indispensable person. Moreover, Yang Hong is also a diplomat of the entire Lu Bu army. The alliance of the Zongheng is his real talent. Haven't you seen that in Lujiang, he cheated Sun Ce of Jiangdong and Liu Biao of Jingzhou. It is precisely because of the money and grain that Liu Mang's army can persist until now. If there were no money and grain of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the millions of people would have long been poor.

What about Huang Zhong! It’s not that Huang Zhong is not allowed to go to a county to serve as the prefect, but Huang Zhong is unwilling to do so. Now he is so rude that he can go wherever Liu Mang goes. As for Zhao Yun and Xu Sheng and others, they want to command the army, and it is impossible to convert them into civil servants.

After getting Sun Gan, Liu Mang could relax in the next county. In the future, Liu Mang's army would have a larger territory and the more talents they needed. However, Liu Mang let Sun Gan go like this. Even if you don't want to kill Sun Gan, you don't want to persuade Sun Gan to surrender. At least you can keep Sun Gan and exchange food with Liu Bei for food.

"Zi Yang, this kind of brainwashed person is the least likely to shake," Liu Ye didn't know, but Liu Mang knew how terrible those brainwashed people were. They would even want their own lives. Such people appeared many times in their previous lives, including men, women and even children. Now Sun Gan has given up and wants to follow Liu Bei, just like a dog. No matter how much Liu Bei treats him, he will never leave. So even if Sun Gan surrenders, Liu Mang has to wonder if Sun Gan is a fake surrender and beware of him. Instead of talking so much, let it go.

Liu Mang finally let Sun Gan go. One Sun Gan stayed in his hands at most was the ability of a county magistrate. Perhaps killing Sun Gan would make Liu Mang feel a little more comfortable, but what Liu Mang wanted more was to make the enemy uncomfortable, put Sun Gan back, and according to Pang Tong's series of tricks, he wanted to use Liu Mang's sword to kill Sun Gan. Do you think Sun Gan and Pang Tong would give up! In addition to the previous disagreements between the two, Sun Gan and Pang Tong basically had no room for maneuver. Either Pang Tong died or Sun Gan died. With Sun Gan constraining Pang Tong in Liu Bei's army. Many of Pang Tong's plans would be messed up or even counterproductive. After all, Sun Gan was not without connections in Liu Bei's army. Although Pang Tong was very smart, he had only joined Liu Bei's army. If he had already controlled the overall situation, he should have solved Sun Gan himself instead of using Liu Mang's sword.

Therefore, it is definitely much more meaningful to keep Sun Gan and Pang Tong beside Liu Bei's side to fight each other than Liu Mang's stay of Sun Gan.

After Sun's work was solved, Liu Mang would have to worry about the problem of food and grass in his army. "How much food and grass are there in our army?"

"The army's food and grass are less than 5,000 stones!" Liu Ye stepped forward and explained that as a military advisor, the military advisor, must be responsible for the supply of food and grass for the army, and the military advisor. In addition to the chief general, the military advisor has the greatest responsibility.

"Not less than five thousand stones? Didn't Ziyang get more than ten thousand grains in Yingshang? Why is there only five thousand stones left?!" Although Liu Mang did not get foods in Ruyin, he still got a lot of them in Yingshang and Anfengjin.

"Lord, when I was in Yingshang, didn't the food and grass have already distributed 10,000 stones to Shouchun's Yuanzhi?!" Liu Ye said as he flipped through the account book in his hand.

"Oh. I forgot!" Liu Mang touched his head. He really didn't know how expensive oil and rice were. Before, the military rations and food and money were all his father-in-law Lu Bu. He just needed to passively accept it. But now he needed to dispatch, but the food and grass were not enough at all.

"Ziyang, how many days will it take for us to reach Runan now!" Liu Mang asked Liu Ye. Liu Ye had walked through Yuzhou and was still very familiar with some of the terrain, so many of Liu Ye's suggestions were adopted by Liu Mang.

"If you marching urgently, it will take fifteen days, and if you marching normally, it will take more than one month!" Liu Ye explained to Liu Mang indifferently.

"Fifteen days?!" Liu Mang frowned. It is definitely not possible to march urgently, because if the entire army marched urgently, how much combat power would be left to Runan? If someone was ambushed halfway, he would really not be able to move. So when he arrived in Runan, even if the city management black chess in Liu Mang's army were elite, it would take a 20-day trip. With the siege of the city in Yuzhou, he is now Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu, and Jian Yong is also in Guan Yu's army. These two people are not easy to deal with. There was a reason why Liu Mang captured Shouchun one day last time. One was that Guan Yu wanted to retain his strength, and the second was that Guan Yu had never seen a crossbow. Now Runan is Liu Bei's old nest. How could Guan Yu still retain his strength? He would definitely fight to the death. Runan is another important town. At that time, the attack will have to attack for more than half a month, which will be more than a month in total.

Liu Mang's food and grass were not enough for more than a month, and you have to know that Yangzhou is in a very dangerous situation now. If Liu Mang can take Runan in more than a month, it would be fine if Liu Mang can take Runan in more than a month. If he can't take Runan, then Yangzhou will be lost and the Runan army will be wiped out in the end. Then everything will be done!

Originally, there was a provision for the food and grass in Ruyin City for a while, but now it was burned out by Pang Tong's fire, which was equivalent to breaking the hope of Liu Mang going north to attack Runan. Pang Tong is worthy of being a Feng Chu. Not only did he kill people with a knife, but he also killed two birds with one stone. Fortunately, if he was his father-in-law this time, Sun Gan might have been killed.

"Go back to the army!" Liu Mang rubbed his forehead. For the sake of the situation in Yangzhou these days, Liu Mang was really hurt by his head. His recruitment order was originally good, but in the end he did a bad thing. Now that the three families are besieging Lu Bu, they are really troublesome.

"Lord, are you going back to Shouchun?!" Liu Ye asked with a frown.

"What? Is there any problem?" Liu Mang asked, now there is not enough food and grass, and Shouchun is in a hurry. Where can Shouchun go? Should I go to Lujiang? Is it that I am giving in to the entire Yangzhou?

"Shouchun cannot go!" Liu Ye came up directly and rejected Liu Mang's thoughts in one sentence.

"Shouchun can't go?! Ziyang, what do you mean?!" Liu Mang is not a stubborn person. Since Liu Ye said that, it is natural that Shouchun can't go. Liu Mang needs to listen to Liu Ye's opinions and make a decision based on what he wants.

"Master. If you can go back to Shouchun now, you can solve the temporary danger of Shouchun, but what will happen later? Madam, you have to know why we attacked Yuzhou?!" What can you do? Naturally, it's for food and grass, because there are more than one million mouths to fill it in Shouchun. Although Liu Mang has a lot of fertile land, it has been abandoned.

"If you go to Shouchun, then Yangzhou will really not be able to defend it and give in. You may even be able to become a prisoner by yourself!" Liu Ye was not scaring Liu Mang in alarmist words, but the fact. If Liu Mang really arrived in Shouchun, he could only temporarily relieve the crisis of Shouchun and have soldiers guarding the city. But what afterwards? He would only be trapped and killed in Shouchun with the army in Shouchun City. The most lacking thing in Shouchun City is food and grass. Liu Mang's arrival is not only impossible to bear Shouchun, but also because of the arrival of the 10,000 troops made Shouchun City miserable. If it was a field battle, the result might be even worse. 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry plus Liu Bei's white-eared heavy armor, the 5,000 City Management Army and the 5,000 Black Chess Army could not resist the practice of the opposite side even if the entire army was wiped out. At that time, they would be really trapped to death.

And there is no food and grass. Not to mention the enemy, even the people in the city will rebel. After all, you, Liu Mang, had promised to be responsible for food for fertile land. The people came to Shouchun to make a way to survive. But now there is no way to survive. At that time, as long as the Liu Bei army outside the city is confused, Shouchun City may be destroyed. No matter how strong the ten thousand army is, it will be a cloud in front of millions of people.

"But where can I go if I don't go to Shouchun?!" Liu Mang was really confused. Now Runan cannot fight, and Shouchun cannot go. Could it be that Liu Mang's army will stagnate? What's the difference between this and waiting for death? The reinforcements in Lujiang are no longer delayed.

"Lord, let's go back to Yangzhou!" Liu Ye said to Liu Mang, which made Liu Mang even more confused. He just wanted to know Yangzhou? Which one should Liu Ye sing?

"We don't go to Yangzhou, but take a detour from Anfengjin to the Huai River upstream and reach the Pingchun Generation of Yiyang!" Liu Ye took out the map and pointed to several places on the map and said to Liu Mang. The Pingchun Generation of Yiyang happened to be from the edge of the Huai River, and the army's food and grass must pass here.

"Ziyang, what do you mean?!" Liu Mang gradually began to understand.

"Lord, Liu Bei was able to invade Yangzhou, and his army rushed straight in. Yes! His rapid siege made the whole Yangzhou people panic. Now, except for Shouchun and Lujiang County in our hands, everything else in Yangzhou was either captured or fell down in sight! But Liu Bei also left a big flaw! Where did his food and grass be supplied from?" Liu Ye nodded and pointed at Runan and said, "It was transported from Runan. The first batch of food and grass must have followed the army, but what about the second and third batches?!" You should know that Yangzhou now has no food and grass, and it is difficult to protect itself. Siege the city normally, just like

Liu Mang fought Yuzhou like this to support the war. The battle would naturally have food and grass when he captured a city. Now Yangzhou is so poor that he could hardly get rid of the pot. How could he have extra food and grass for Liu Bei's army? Liu Bei won a city without getting anything except for the soldiers inside. Then the army's food and grass naturally need to be transported from the rear. Moreover, Liu Bei not only used food and grass himself, but also generously packed Zhang Xiu's food and grass, so the food and grass must be consumed a lot. Liu Bei has now entered the Yangzhong Mansion, and the front line is very long, so his food and transportation line must be very long, which gives Liu Mang and the others a chance!

"We were in Pingchun, Yiyang, just to intercept his food supply!" Liu Ye finally expressed his thoughts. "As long as we take Yiyang or Pingchun, we can use the city to ravage and harass Liu Bei's food route. If Liu Bei doesn't send a large army, then we will swallow his food and grass directly and let his army starve to death in Yangzhou. If he sent a large army to protect the food and grass, it would be impossible to stop us without more than 20,000. If we come less, we can just swallow it and eat it. If we come too much, we can also do it for Yuanzhi.

Shouchun reduces the pressure, and we can even send the food and grass we get here to go back to Shouchun by water, until then!" Liu Ye didn't say the following words, but Liu Mang knew that it would depend on who could withstand it. If Shouchun could persist until Lu Bu reinforcements and Liu Bei's food and grass were exhausted, then Liu Mang would win and Liu Bei's army would collapse. If Liu Bei took Shouchun before the food and grass was used up and then merged to attack himself after it was difficult, then Liu Bei would win. And Liu Mang might have completely disappeared from the stage of history because of this defeat.

But Liu Mang had no choice, right? Liu Mang stood up and said, "Zi Yang, let's go and fight!" Liu Ye also nodded heavily. Liu Mang directly took Liu Ye's hand.
Chapter completed!
