Who can't brag, but being able to turn the blown cowhide into reality is called bragging.
Jiang Pengji made a rhetoric. This year, Huang Song will fight against Huang Song, and he will pacify the four countries in seven years. Naturally, he must make corresponding efforts.
The most important thing at present is to send troops to intercept Huang Song's main force, forcing the opponent to be unable to enter the Sanshan Canyon. This is not only understood by Jiang Pengji and the others, but also by the people over Huang Song.
However, Jiang Pengji was destined to be Huang Song's nemesis. Before he could recover from the joy of breaking the Hu County line of defense and taking over Zhonghe County, a few news came from the rear, and it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. , almost all sanity has been split!
[Yuanxin almost killed military advisor Nie Xun in front of the battle.]
[Yuanxin was gullible to Huayuan's suggestion and adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, which resulted in the grain storage of Chenzhou being led by Huayuan.]
[Yuan Xin was drunk and violent, and wanted to kill a lieutenant who violated the military order.]
[The food and grass in Chenzhou is extremely scarce, and the military advisor Nie Xun is injured to rectify the troops and horses in the territory, and intercept the enemy in Cangzhou.]
Four messages in a row made Huang Song lose his senses. This is not the key. The key is that these four messages did not happen at the same time!
what does that mean
It means that someone deliberately intercepted and suppressed the information from the rear, deceived the superior and concealed the inferior, so that Huang Song could not know the battle situation at the first time!
Huang Song reluctantly suppressed the surging anger. Fortunately, Yuan Xin was already dead. If he hadn't died, Huang Song would have wished to draw his sword and cut the opponent.
He looked gloomily at the messenger, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who sent you this news?"
The messenger replied, "Master Nie must send the villain to convey the news to the lord as quickly as possible."
Huang Song asked again, "When did Sergeant Nie get injured?"
The messenger replied, "About a month and a half ago."
Huang Song asked again, "When did General Yuan Xin die? When did Chenzhou's grain and forage be deceived?"
The messenger was sweating profusely, "The deception of food and grass was only half a month after Sergeant Nie was injured. After another ten days, General Yuan Xin was assassinated."
Huang Song was burning with anger, the blue veins on his forehead burst out, and his eyes were horrified.
"It only takes ten days to get here from the front line of Chenzhou, but why are these news delayed for forty or fifty days!"
Huang Song's anger was hard to dissipate, and the messenger could only bear the impact of his anger head-on.
The messenger said, "This, this is because, because General Yuanxin ordered..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Song already understood, and the worst guess in his heart was confirmed.
Like a punctured balloon, his anger suddenly dropped from the highest point to the lowest point, with a look of frustration on his brows.
Huang Song really regretted it at this moment, his bowels were turning green, he said in anger, "I thought he would apologize to Cheng Yun, but he really regretted it - this gave him a second chance to guard Chen Chen. In the rear of the state, I never thought that he would never repent!"
I regret it at the beginning, he should have followed the advice of Feng Jue and others at that time—
Yuanxin has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he is just pretending to be guilty, and can't take it seriously.
Nie Xun and he were at odds again. Even if they learned from the ancients, they would not be able to achieve the ending of "reconciliation".
A prophecy!
However, because of his affection, Huang Song had to give Yuan Xin a three-point thin face, and brought out the original letter that was hidden in the snow.
It's not that Father Huang Song's feelings have flared up, it's just that Yuan Xin's youngest son was shot by a stray arrow and died because he was protecting Huang Song. He is also not a merciless person, and he has been thinking of kindness, so he takes more care of Yuan Xin.
result-
Alas, he's still cocooning himself.
If he followed the advice of Feng Jue, Cheng Jing and others, and continued to hide the original letter or separated the two, there would not be the current situation.
It's not that Huang Song didn't know that Yuan Xin relied on his guilt towards him and his identity as a clan uncle, and that no one could suppress him except for a few people, but what if he knew? He couldn't just slap Yuan Xin to the end or abandon him just because Yuan Xin liked to target Nie Xun.
Before the incident in Chenzhou, Yuan Xin's biggest mistakes were limited to targeting Nie Xun, making small reports behind his back, and undermining internal unity.
At most, Huang Song kept the original letter refrigerated for a period of time as a punishment, and the limelight had to be activated in the past.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xin kept silent and made a big deal, not only hurting Nie Xun but also suppressing the news.
One wrong step, one wrong step, and finally the grain of Chenzhou was taken away by Huayuankeng of unknown origin.
Huang Song told the people under the account with a heavy face.
Everyone was stunned and shocked. They didn't expect Yuan Xin to be so bold.
Cheng Jing rubbed his brows with a headache.
Yuanxin turned the advantage he finally created into a disadvantage by himself, and he really is a capable person.
He is dead, but the lord has to clean up the mess for his stupidity.
Cheng Jing frowned and thought, and a counselor under Huang Song's tent came out and said, "My lord, General Yuan Xin has passed away, and it is useless to care about his fault now. The most important thing at the moment is to solve the urgent need. Lack, Sergeant Nie is injured, and I don't know how long he can hold on. Please make a decision as soon as possible, my lord, whether to send troops back to Chenzhou or... abandon it..."
Speaking of the back, the counselor's voice dropped.
If Chenzhou is ignored, as long as the enemy adopts the strategy of siege, even if nothing is done, Chenzhou will be finished.
Don't forget, there are nearly one million ordinary people in Chenzhou!
The barracks still have surplus grain to last for a while, but millions of people still have to eat!
Not every household has grain storage, and even if there is grain storage, the amount will not be too much. Many people regularly go to the rice merchants to buy rice grains. Some of the rice merchants buy rice grains from the people, and the other part is purchased from the grain depots in various important towns.
The rice grains purchased by grain depots are generally aged rice that has been put on hold for two or three years from the previous year, and the price is lower than that of new rice.
It's good for the common people to eat what they have. How can they be picky about whether it is new rice or old rice
Yuanxin moved all the grains from the grain depots. How to make up for this shortfall
There is a layer of meaning inside and outside the words of the counselor-
If Huang Song chooses to return to aid Chenzhou, he will face a food shortage of millions of shi and people who are short of food, but it is better to give up!
Abandoning Chenzhou also meant abandoning Nie Xun and the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there.
How to do
how to choose
Huang Song was swaying in his heart. He is now like a blind man standing on the edge of a cliff. There is a cliff in front of him and a tiger behind him.
"Master, don't delay!"
"Please make an early decision, my lord!"
After everyone persuaded, Huang Song turned his eyes to Cheng Jing and asked Cheng Jing how to choose.
Cheng Jing was silent for a while, then said solemnly, "Please also ask the lord to put the overall situation first!"
Bringing troops back to support Chenzhou is tantamount to digging one's own grave. If a strong army attacks Hu County, there is still a chance.
