”No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hearing Han Hao's words, Xia Houdun also nodded: ”Yuan Si's statement is reasonable. These 40000 troops are almost the total strength of our army in Huainan. In case of any loss, Huainan will have no more danger to defend and can not take this risk.”

Xia Houdun had an impulsive disposition. At the age of 14, because someone insulted his teacher, he took up a knife to kill people. This is evident from his strong nature. However, once Cao Cao was involved, Xia Houdun would suppress his temperament. If Cao Cao's great cause was hindered, he could not bear it.

”What about that? We can't fight, and we don't have enough food to eat. Isn't it just waiting for death if we go on like this? ” Zhu Ling sighed.

”... I have an idea, but I can't guarantee its feasibility.” Han Hao suddenly proposed.

Xia Hou Dun said directly: ”Yuan Si, you don't want to sell medicine in the gourd. If you have anything to say, you will give you advice together.”

Han Hao nodded and said, ”gentlemen, now that our army is out of food, the Yuzhou army obviously knows about it. They must think that our army will not send troops until the supplies are exhausted.”

”But if our army's grain and grass are exhausted and our troops are sent out, their morale will certainly be low, and the enemy can gather their forces and take advantage of the situation to defeat them.”

”But our army did the opposite. After a month and a half later, the enemy must have thought that our army had eaten up all the food and grass, and their morale was low. In fact, our army was in high morale. If a large number of 40000 troops attacked, they might be able to catch the Yuzhou army by surprise.”

To put it simply, this strategy is to make the Yuzhou army think that the Cao army has run out of food and grass, and the morale is low. In fact, the Cao army is in high morale and can fight for the first time.

At present, the only thing he could do was to give up his head slowlyBeing trapped in Shouchun city made Xia Houdun extremely angry, but the 40000 army could not be easily burned. Han Hao's proposal is the only practical way now.

As long as we can defeat the Yuzhou army, Huainan will be saved. When the time comes, we can support Xuzhou in the north and help Jiangdong in the south, which will improve the situation of Cao army.

”If we continue to issue orders, from today on, we must ensure that the soldiers have enough food every day. At the same time, the Quartermaster must not disclose the scarcity of grain and grass, and those who violate the orders will be killed!”

Sometimes killing is the easiest way. It's neat.

”Here it is

XiahouDun's orders were immediately passed on, and forty thousand Cao soldiers in the city were able to eat two meals a day without showing the decline of lack of food and grass. However, Xia Houdun, Han Hao, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao and the grain and forage military supplies officer and so on a small number of insiders were secretive, and could not see that the grain and grass were about to be exhausted.

Outside the city, though Liu Bei ordered the garrison to surround Shouchun city in groups, he could not relax. But nearly a month later, the Cao army in the city did not move at all, which made people feel relaxed.

At this time, Zhao Yun himself led the army to arrive outside Shouchun city.

”Zhao Yun, general of Huwei Zhonglang, called on Liu Lingjun.” Zhao Yun holds his fist to Liu Bei.

”Ha ha, General Zhao, please get up quickly. It's really a young talent, ha ha ha.” Liu Bei raised Zhao Yun and laughed.
