After the army joined Guan and Zhang, the advancing team became even larger.
Not only have there been more soldiers and horses, but most importantly...the daily consumption of food and grass has also become even more serious.
Originally, the soldiers and horses could barely survive with the dry food that Gongsun Zhu brought with him.
Although I can't eat enough, I can still bear it.
But when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei appeared with their own soldiers and horses, and the people behind them.
Gongsun Zhu knew that the food and grass left in his hands was not enough.
Without killing the war horses, the food and grass in his hands would not last until the next day.
Especially in this situation, even if Liu Bei doesn't protect those people, Gongsun Zhuruo doesn't want the corruption in Youzhou to become more serious.
He absolutely cannot abandon these people who have followed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to survive with great difficulty.
As for killing the war horse... Even if Gongsun Zhu commits suicide, he will not kill the war horse!
So after thinking about it for a long time, Gongsun Zhu directly waved his hand.
"Why, this food is not enough. Take out all the dry food and give it all to the people and these soldiers and horses. Everyone should rest first!"
"In addition...all the scouts have been sent out and must be back before Youshi today!"
Following Gongsun Zhu's words, all the people and the soldiers and horses following Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
The scouts on the other side also bowed and saluted at the same time, and started to gallop again with the last morsel of dry food left for them.
At this time, Gongsun Zhu and the others had arrived at the edge of Zhuojun, or in other words, they had come to a place where they needed to choose.
Zhuojun was originally the gateway to Youzhou, but now they were in the northernmost part of Zhuojun. There were actually three roads to choose from in front of them.
First... Go directly north and enter Shanggu County. It is not an important town, but there are many solid cities and steep terrain that can be used.
At the same time, there are also border troops stationed in Shanggu County. Whether it is food, grass, soldiers and horses, they can find ways to supplement it.
But the problem is also serious.
There is a war going on there...not only with the Yellow Turban rebels, but Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north are also fighting with the border troops.
It can be said that as long as you rush in, you will have to face the problem of being attacked from two sides...or even being attacked from three sides.
Moreover, although there is a lot of food and grass in the army, it is not easy to get enough food and grass from the army here.
Of course, in addition to the one road going north, there are two other roads.
Run east and directly enter Guangping County, the seat of Youzhou, and there is absolutely sufficient food and grass here.
Because Ji County, the county seat of Guangping County, is the seat of Youzhou, and there is the largest garrison in Youzhou today.
Of course, Guo Xun, the current governor of Youzhou, and others are also here!
Even judging from the news from the last scout, I am afraid that the nominal rebel commander Zou Jing is also in Guangping County!
The benefits of entering Guangping County are absolutely obvious!
Whether it is the replenishment of food and grass, soldiers and horses, or the resettlement of the refugees, they can be best comforted.
But the problem is also very serious.
Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and Zou Jing, the lieutenant of the Northern Army!
These two are both in Guangping County, and their official positions and status are far above Gongsun Zhu!
As long as they enter Guangping County, the subsequent events may have nothing to do with Gongsun Zhu.
What worried Gongsun Zhu the most was not the matter of power, but their ability!
Zou Jing is a decent guy after all, but Guo Xun is obviously... Gongsun Zhu shouldn't say that he is a playboy, but he can't help but want to say it.
Regarding the war...he really doesn't understand shit.
And in this situation, Gongsun Zhu could not guarantee whether Guo Xun would forcibly take away the military power from him because there were too many enemy troops.
Then...he will be truly in a dilemma.
Therefore, he knew that this road in Guangping County was the best to take, but it was also the road that he least wanted to take.
As for...it's not impossible if he goes west. To the west, he can directly enter Daijun.
Because this place is not only a border county, but also on the verge of merging states, and it is not considered rich, so this place is indeed a bit barren.
But there are also the fewest Yellow Turbans here!
Now Gongsun Zhu has a general understanding of the Yellow Turban Army.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou was divided into two parts, one of which was the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army that had previously attacked Zhuo County.
This group is not only strong in numbers but also not entirely a ragtag group.
Because unlike the Yellow Turban Army in other prefectures and counties, they did not rely on coercing the people to grow. They were some of Zhang Jiao's most loyal followers.
It was the soldiers and horses that Zhang Jiao sent out alone after holding back Lu Gong's troops. They were specially used to attack Youzhou and join forces with the local Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou to connect Jizhou, Youzhou, and even Bingzhou together.
By then, with the addition of Qingzhou, which is also very powerful, the Yellow Turban Army in the entire four states of Hebei will be able to join together.
At that time, the court's soldiers and horses will be really in danger.
Moreover, Northern Xinjiang may face Wuhuan Xianbei, who is like a centipede that is dead but not stiff... Then the big man will be in real trouble!
Therefore, most of these two armies are now gathered in Guangping County, and they don't pay much attention to other counties.
Daijun, on the other hand, paid even less attention to it.
If they enter Daijun now, they can almost easily eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves in Daijun. Moreover, they heard that the governor and many soldiers of Daijun have been dispersed by the Yellow Turban Army's surprise attack.
After they entered, with Gongsun Zhu's prestige among the border troops and his reputation during this period, he could easily gain a foothold.
There is no need to accept the shackles of anyone, and there is no need to worry about anything.
And there is also food and grass.
But... what he will face next is a three-sided attack!
Night soon came again, and many scouts returned to the military camp with the latest news, and told them everything they saw and heard.
After settling the refugees and arranging many patrolling soldiers, Gongsun Zhu also called Liu Bei and others to his camp again.
He also took out a map and informed him of the route he had already planned and the problems he might encounter.
When everyone finally turned their attention to Dai Jun, Gongsun Zhu also expressed his concerns.
"Since we are like grasshoppers on a rope now, Gongsun Zhu can only say some things up to the front.
Although this Daijun is good, if I just go to Daijun like this... that would be very bad! "
