More than ten days after the Julu War, most of the Yellow River was frozen, only a living water remained in the center of the river, and waterway transportation was cut off. Yan's aid is still on the way, and it is urgent and difficult to arrive, and the Chu and Qi armies all rely on Zhang Er to pick grain from the mouths of the people to feed, and it is inevitable that it will be insufficient.
There are few soldiers in Qi, and they don't dare to talk more. Chu Jun is different, shouting and scolding every day. At the beginning, under Song Yi's hands, everyone was half hungry and half full every day, and everyone already complained, and Xiang Yu's slogan to encourage everyone to kill the generals was "because of Zhao Shi" - this sentence is too tempting!As long as there is food, you can kill the king, let alone kill the general!They thought that Zhao Di was a paradise of full food, and the table was full of wine and delicacies, just waiting for them to open their bellies and eat them, so they did not have the slightest regret when they "broke the cauldron". When I came, I realized that this was a place full of poor ghosts, half hungry and half full every day, only rough dry food to eat, and people were foaming in their mouths.
The generals complained to Xiang Yu one after another: We shed blood and sweat for Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo entertained us with coarse rice and inferior food, which was too much!Measures must be taken to improve the food treatment, otherwise it will be difficult for the troops to take it.
Xiang Yu knew that Zhao Guojun and his ministers had tried their best, but when he first ascended to the commander's position, he knew that it was important to win the hearts of generals, and he couldn't control how many people Zhao Guo starved to death, and he had to ensure that the troops did not go wrong. Therefore, he obeyed the will of the generals and summoned the generals of Zhao, Yan, and Dai to be held accountable as "princes and generals".
"The Princes General" is the title of Fan Zeng's initiative and Xiang Yu's self-reliance, and has been reported to King Huai, and to the armies of Zhao, Yan, and Qi.
Xiang Yu has known an iron law since he was a child: the one with the big fist is the elder brother. Now he has more troops than the three armies of Zhao, Yan, and Qi combined, and he says that he is a "general of the princes", and no one dares to say that he is not a "general of the princes". As long as the generals Zhao, Yan, and Qi admit that he is a "general of the princes", then he really is. Please give Wang Huai's instructions, but it is just a formality to give this old brother-in-law a face. If he dares not to approve, then he will not even have face.
Zhang Er led his son Zhang Ao, Zhao generals Shen Yang, Sima Wei, Yan general Zang Tu, etc., into the gate to meet Xiang Yu.
Zhang Ao is a beautiful guy, his appearance is chasing Pan An and Song Yu, but he has little courage, he has heard a lot of terrifying legends about Xiang Yu, and now he wants to see this legendary "Demon King", he can't help but panic, just walked to the door, his legs were so weak that he couldn't move away. He whispered to his father: I don't know what Xiang Yu summoned us for?
Zhang Er said: It's nothing more than a meal.
Zhang Ao said: Now everyone is hungry, what is there to say?
Zhang Er said: If you don't want to say it, you have to say it!
Zhang Ao asked: Then what should we say?
Zhang Er said: It's nothing more than "weakness is better than strength"!
Zhang Ao saw that his father was calm and relaxed, and he looked confident, and he was a lot more courageous.
When everyone walked into the camp gate, some Chu officers and soldiers deliberately cursed: Lao Tzu risked his life to save people in emergency, and his stomach was not full, it was too much!If you don't give you enough food to eat, Lao Tzu will eat people!
When Zhang Ao and the others saw their fierce appearance, they were so frightened that their faces and legs trembled, and they couldn't walk steadily. They are not necessarily afraid of death, but they are afraid of death as it is not the place to be. If you are killed by the rebels because of eating, you will die too ignorantly!
Only the ears and faces do not change color, and the steps are steady.
Everyone rushed in and walked into Xiang Yu's big tent.
As soon as Zhang Er saw Xiang Yu, he immediately knelt on the ground, climbed to the front of the steps, looked pious, and asked Xiang Yu to "give him death as soon as possible". Seeing him like this, they couldn't help but panic and their legs weakened, and they all knelt on the ground, lying behind Zhang Er in fear, but they did not ask for "death", because they did not know why they deserved to die.
Zhang Ao had never seen his father so unbearable, and he was ashamed of himself.
How could he know the anxiety in his father's heart!The officers and soldiers of the Chu army were furious, and they could burn and loot in Zhao at any time, in order to stop the turmoil, they couldn't take care of their old lives, how could they take care of their old faces!
Xiang Yu asked strangely: Why should I execute you?
Zhang Er said: The general is heroic, righteous and thin, leading brave generals and invincible soldiers to rescue Zhao and defeat the Qin army. As the old man is Zhao Xiang, because the country is poor and the people are weak, and the food is not well prepared, so that your army is hungry, isn't it a crime to deserve death?
Xiang Yu wanted to lose his temper and scare him, so he forced out some food, but when he heard Zhang Er say this, it was inconvenient to have a seizure. He said, "The famine is caused by natural disasters, and the sin is not in you." You have done your best to provide food for our armament, and you have worked hard and earned;You will do your best to help, there is no merit, please get up quickly!
Zhang Er slowly stood up. The generals also got up and stood behind Zhang Er.
Zhang Er straightened his clothes and said slowly: Old and clumsy, when I entered the barracks just now, I heard someone say that he wanted to eat people. The old man secretly thinks that there are still many death row prisoners waiting to be executed in the county prisons, or they send people to bind them up and give them to the soldiers of your army to fight their teeth
Xiang Yu was furious, and ordered the personal guard Lu Matong: Who said that you want to eat people, catch me and cook it!
Lu Matong took the order and went away, found the guy who was clamoring to eat people, tied him up, and threw him into the dingzhong to cook and kill.
This time, the officers and soldiers of the Chu army did not dare to talk nonsense.
Shen Yang, Sima Wei and others secretly exclaimed: Jiang is old and spicy, Zhang Cheng will get rid of one person in a few words, it is really a murder without a knife!
Xiang Yu was inconvenient to blame the generals for the food problem, so he asked: Julu has no food, it must not be guarded, I don't know where in your country there is more food?
Zhang Er said: The most abundant grain in our country is the Thorn Plain. Zhang Han planned to besiege the giant deer for a long time, and the thorn plain hoarded no less than hundreds of thousands of grains.
When Xiang Yu heard that there was so much food in Thorn Plain, he was immediately moved. If Zhang Han is defeated and so much food is robbed, the problem of eating will be solved. He calculated the strength of the two sides, the Qin army in the Thorn Plains was about 30,000 or 40,000, plus the Qin army scattered in Zhao, the total strength was only 50,000 or 60,000, and the coalition army had more than 200,000.
Xiang Yu immediately summoned the generals of the Chu Qi army to discuss the plan to attack the Thorn Plains with Zhang Er and others.
Zhang Er said: The old decay is a general of Wenchen, and the Zhao army is scattered all over the place to raise food, I am afraid that it will be difficult to participate in the war for a while.
Xiang Yu said angrily that the Chu army was the main battle in this battle, and the Zhao army only needed to do a good job in logistics, and the Qi and Dai armies were responsible for monitoring and blocking the Qin army's reinforcements, and Zang Di returned to Yan to urge grain and grass.
Xiang Yu is full of confidence, and is ready to settle the general account with Zhang Han: one is to save himself by grabbing food, and the other is to report Xiang Liang's revenge, and do state affairs and family affairs together!
