Chapter 193 (1/2)
Wangyuan County, more than ten miles to the north.
”My Lord, the soldiers are dissatisfied with the use of small dippers to provide food. If they go on like this, they may cause trouble.”
”Hum! There is a lack of food in the army, so what can we do? Is it difficult for a big guy to eat the last meal or not? ”
In Dong Zhuo's barracks, Li Zhen reports to him with worry, while Dong Zhuo is helpless.
Zhou Shen was surrounded by Beigong Boyu in Yuzhong County and suffered a great defeat. Dong Zhuo was no better. The Qiang people united with the Huns near Liangzhou and gathered 50000 troops to surround him.
In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Liangzhou iron cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command had a decisive battle with the enemy, and the victory or defeat was still in the fifth five. However, Dong Zhuo is distressed. These 30000 ironbikes are his precious pimples. If today's World War I is finished, how can we still have a foothold in Liangzhou in the future?
As a result, Dong Zhuo did not go to war, and the Huns and Qiang people were not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle. The two sides were very tacit and motionless here. However, due to the encirclement, foreign grain and grass could not be transported in, so the army had to use small combat. All the soldiers had little water and were hungry.
Dong Zhuo sighed and then looked at Li Ru, his son-in-law.
”Wen you, for today's plan, what can we do?”
Li Ru slowly opened his eyes and said, ”father-in-law, you can order the soldiers to block the river and build levees in the Wei River.”
Dong Zhuo is stunned, blocking the river and building levees?
Li Ying was careful: ”the meaning of the military division is to order the soldiers to fish as food?”
Li Ru laughed, and his eyes revealed his brilliance: ”have your father-in-law and general Zhiran heard of Sun Bin's plan to reduce the kitchen stove? So, so, so, so... ”
When they heard Li Ru's plan, they couldn't help but look happy.
”Wonderful plan, what a wonderful plan!”
The central Qiang Hun army.
”Did you hear that?”
A Qiang man poked at the Huns next to him, pretending to be a mysterious way.
The Hun shook his head: ”what did you hear?”
The Qiang people laughed: ”I heard that the Han Army blocked the river and built a dike in the Weihe River. It must be that the army is short of food. It is really unable to support it. It seems that the Han army will run out of food.”
When the Huns heard this, they were interested: ”so we are going to win soon?”
”Hahaha, of course, the Han army will be defeated without food and grass. Can we send troops?”
Dong Zhuo sent officers and men to build embankments and fish for food in the Weihe River.
Even with the use of a small bucket, now fishing for food, is it difficult to realize the grain and grass will be exhausted?
Even so, Liangzhou soldiers still work hard to catch fish in the river. After all, the stomach is a big problem. People always try to find a way to eat. How can they live without enough food?
However, the leaders of the Hun and Qiang army did not agree with the news that Dong Zhuo's army was blocking the river to build dikes and fish for food. How many fish can there be in Weihe River? Besides, Dong Zhuo's army has 30000 troops. Even if everyone eats only one piece a day, he also needs tens of thousands of Jin of fish a day. It seems that the defeat of Dong Zhuo's army has been decided. We just need to wait and wait, and the Han army will naturally collapse without fighting.
Ten days later, Dong Zhuo suddenly gave an order: the small fight should be changed into a big one, and all the soldiers would have a good meal.
As soon as this order came down, all the soldiers cheered and cheered. They ate little food every day. All the hungry people had to go to sleep all day. Because they were not hungry when they were asleep, almost everyone lost five or six kilograms of fat.
