Southwest of Hezhou at this time.
"General, Liu Xiu's troops are almost halfway over now. The food and grass seems to be a bit low!"
"I didn't expect so many people to come here."
In the large tent of the military camp, the logistics officer said to Fan Hanzhong.
"How many more days of food will we have?"
Fan Hanzhong frowned.
"how many days?"
"It's not many days, right?"
"According to calculations, there are still about a hundred days left."
The logistics officer pointed his fingers and said to Fan Hanzhong.
"One hundred days, that's not enough. We are now like-"
"etc!"
"A hundred days or so?!"
"You call the food that is still available for a hundred days no food?"
Fan Hanzhong suddenly reacted.
He looked at the logistics officer in front of him dumbfounded.
"Yes, didn't you say before that we must always prepare six months of food and grass!"
"Recently, Hezhou has not stopped supplying us with food at all."
"I just saw that some places were vacant, and I felt a little panicked."
The logistics officer hesitated and said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Forehead……"
Fan Hanzhong put his hand on his forehead.
What a joke!
Enough food for nearly 300,000 horses and horses for three months. When has such a wealthy war ever been fought?
When did you go to war before without running out of food?
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is really so much food, there is no need to worry about lack of food even if we fight all the way to Xiazhou.
Where did Zhang Bao and the others get so much food before?
Fan Hanzhong felt incredible.
In fact, for Zhang Bao and the others.
It's the same as Cao Kang's side. Although they are divided into several groups of people, among these groups of people, they are also divided into priorities.
Although Fan Hanzhong's 200,000 troops remained stationary, they had the greatest deterrent effect on Cao Kang's troops.
So they have to work hard to survive.
As for the number of people in Sanhe County, there are not many people in the first place, so there is no problem in being self-sufficient.
The men and horses of Jeju can be plundered on the Jeju side and obtained from Jeju.
Not to mention those in Dongzhou. The current troops in Dongzhou will not face a shortage of food and grass.
The only thing is Fan Hanzhong's side. They have a large number of troops and cannot be mobilized at will, so Zhang Bao gave priority to supplying food and grass to Fan Hanzhong's troops.
more importantly.
Now has reached the critical moment of the duel with Cao Kang.
There is no point in leaving some food and grass empty.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I guess you will be able to reply in the near future."
"Let's see what the adults say."
"Go on, there's no need to notify me until the food and supplies are less than a month old!"
Fan Hanzhong waved to the logistics officer.
"General, do you think Zhangzhou Mu will allow us to attack Xiazhou?"
"We have a very large number of soldiers and horses now. Isn't it possible that Zhangzhou Mu is not afraid at all?"
A general said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Hey, this time, you can see the depth of this Zhang Bao!"
"Many times, when one's own interests are not touched, one often cannot see anything, but at some critical moments, one can clearly see a person's attitude."
"In my opinion, our Zhangzhou Mu is good at everything, but he is too young. Once this person becomes young, he lacks something."
"This has nothing to do with ability, it's all about experience and wealth. Don't look at some young people who have quite a lot of wealth, but for them, they can just imitate. They are still presentable when they don't encounter problems, but If something really happens, your true colors will be revealed immediately.”
"There is no way to make up for this. Even when I was young, I would inevitably fall into this situation. After so many years of accumulation, I can figure out some things."
Fan Hanzhong sighed and said.
Although he admired Zhang Bao very much, it was at this age that made Fan Hanzhong a little worried.
Although young people can accomplish some things, Zhang Bao's journey has been too smooth over the years. It is difficult for this person to truly mature without experiencing some setbacks.
If Zhang Bao had known that Fan Hanzhong said his experience was too smooth, he would have probably vomited blood.
Before Zhang Bao became the governor of Heyang County, he basically escaped death several times. Some were because of his own stupidity and impulsiveness, some were because the enemy was too powerful, and some were because his teammates were too stupid. In short, In the past, Zhang Baoke experienced things that many people may not experience in their lifetime.
To be able to grow up like this is a blessing from God...
"grown ups!"
"Zhangzhou Mu's letter has arrived!"
At this moment, a person from outside ran in in a hurry.
"Um?!"
"Why so fast?!"
Fan Hanzhong was startled and stood up quickly.
He took out the letter and read it, and immediately burst into laughter.
There is only one sentence in the whole letter: Go ahead and do it boldly!
"good!"
"What a 'Go ahead!'"
"What a hero!"
"Give me the order!"
"Tell Liu Xiu's troops that those who have not surrendered before dawn tomorrow will be killed on the spot!"
Fan Hanzhong shouted loudly.
…
Yunzhong County.
"Paralyzed!"
"I have to deliver food and grass to them, my belt is loose!"
"More!"
"Hold them to death!"
Xie Yunsong looked at the news sent by Fan Hanzhong and cursed in anger.
During this period, in order to supply food and grass for their hundreds of thousands of troops, not to mention the entire Hezhou, even Taizhou and Dongzhou tightened their belts.
In order to relieve the pressure on grain and grass, Xie Yunsong even borrowed a lot of grain from Liaozhou Fu Mingli, but Fu Mingli was also a profiteer, and it was a loan shark.
But I didn’t expect that now I need food.
"Yes, sir, there is nothing we can do now."
"Still doing it?"
"Aren't we going to take out our food reserves?"
"If our food reserves are all used up, we in Hezhou will really have no food at all."
A man who looked like a master said on the side.
"well……"
"Who dares not to send it? This Fan Hanzhong is unreasonable, and if he wants food and grass so much, he must have the permission of the adults. Send it, give it!"
"Pass this order, starting from today, everyone in Hezhou, from the emperor to the common people, can only eat one meal a day!"
"Save food to supply Fan Hanzhong and the others!"
"Made!"
"If Fan Hanzhong can't win, I'll beat him to death when I come back!"
Xie Yunsong said angrily.
