Chapter 130 The police are short of food and Sima enters the camp
The two generals Mi Yang brought out today are Samoko and Guan Ping.
Today, he is not as powerful as Sun Quan, who has a great family and numerous good generals under his command.
The people he could rely on in the public security city, who had good military skills and could protect him personally, were the two generals Guan Ping and Samoko.
However, the quality of these two generals is no worse than Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang, whom Sun Quan selected from among Jiangdong's good generals.
When Mi Yang and Sun Quan both rose up, Guan Ping and Shamoko behind Mi Yang pulled out their swords and confronted Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang behind Sun Quan.
Among them, Samoko, because he was confident in his own force, took a slight step forward and protected Mi Yang behind him.
Sun Quan was already considered tall in his time, but compared with Shamoko, he was still a full head shorter.
Although the two generals Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang were both strong in martial arts, they were both slightly shorter than Sun Quan in height.
When Shamoko took a step forward, his majestic body protected Mi Yang like a stone pillar.
In addition, his strong and wild face looked down at Sun Quan and the others, so when he stood forward, Sun Quan and the others instantly felt an invisible pressure.
Looking at the mountain-like Samoko in front of him, Sun Quan frowned deeply.
He knew Zhou Tai's bravery.
Zhou Tai's bravery was only higher than that of Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang in front of him.
But such a fierce general was severely wounded by an arrow from the barbarian general in front of him.
Although according to Han Dang, Zhou Tai was distracted that night, and because of old age and old injuries, his physical functions were far less strong than before, which gave Samoko an opportunity to take advantage of him.
But this is enough to prove that the bravery of the barbarian general in front of him cannot be underestimated.
Under such circumstances, with the absence of our own army, if I rashly fight Mi Yang out of anger, I will definitely not gain anything, and may even suffer a big loss.
Thinking that his identity was very different from Mi Yang's, and that his life was much more valuable, Sun Quan felt that there was no need to take risks.
Sun Quan had the uncanny ability of Gou Jian, so no matter how angry he was at this time, he could quickly control himself and calm down for the sake of his own interests.
Sun Quan looked at Mi Yang with eyes full of hatred.
This was the first time in his life that he heard the word "cunning".
Thinking of the insult represented by these two words, Sun Quan wanted to throw Mi Yang in front of him into a cauldron and cook him to death if possible.
But in the end, Sun Quan still maintained a trace of intellectual clarity.
The solid murderous intent flowed in Sun Quan's eyes. Just when everyone thought he was going to order Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang to attack and kill Mi Yang, he unexpectedly faced Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang.
Word:
"Go back to camp."
Sun Quan's move shocked Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang.
This is not like what the Supreme did in the past.
But when they looked at the barbarian general opposite who looked like a tiger and a leopard, they understood Sun Quan's concerns.
If we fight, the outcome is unpredictable.
The most important thing is to quickly protect the Supreme and return to the camp.
Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang protected Sun Quan and retreated step by step towards their horses.
Looking at Sun Quan and the others retreating step by step, Mi Yang also had murderous intent in his eyes.
If we can take this opportunity to kill or even capture Sun Quan, not only will the public security siege be solved, but Jiangdong will also fall into civil strife from now on, and will no longer be a threat to Liu Bei.
When Mi Yang looked at Guan Ping with questioning eyes, Guan Ping shook his head gently.
When Guan Yu and Lu Su went to the meeting alone, Guan Ping was beside Guan Yu, and Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang were also behind Lu Su at that time.
At that time, Guan Yu gave Guan Ping a detailed introduction to the generals behind Lu Su, and said that they were all fierce generals, so he should not be careless.
Perhaps his current military strength is not weaker than theirs.
But as long as the difference is not too big and the other side is unprepared, if the generals of the two sides fight each other, the battle will not end for a while.
And Jiangdong's army is just a hundred steps away and can arrive in a blink of an eye.
Although our own troops and horses are also a hundred steps away, Jiangdong's army is outnumbered and there is no advantage in rashly engaging them in a field battle.
Out of this concern, Guan Ping shook his head at Mi Yang and signaled no.
Mi Yang also understood what Guan Ping meant, so he temporarily calmed down the murderous intention in his heart.
After all, the biggest purpose of today's meeting has been accomplished.
Generals Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang saw that Mi Yang and the others had not made any move, so they quickly escorted Sun Quan onto the horse not far away and ran towards the military camp a hundred steps away.
Seeing this, Mi Yang also led Guan and Ping into the small boat not far behind him, crossed the moat, and returned to the public security city.
After Sun Quan rode his horse back to the camp, he hated Mi Yang so much that he hurriedly summoned Han Dang and wanted him to lead his troops out of the camp to capture Mi Yang.
But after seeing that Mi Yang had crossed the moat, Sun Quan could only whip his horse angrily and gave up the plan of sending troops.
This meeting between Mi Yang and Sun Quan ended with Mi Yang scolding Sun Quan and the two separated unhappy.
After returning to the public security city, Mi Yang said to Guan Pingyan:
"I once heard that when Sun Zhongmou was in Jiangdong, he loved riding horses and hunting, and he often took pleasure in shooting tigers, so that tigers often pounced on his saddle, but he was not afraid."
"Today, I saw that Sun Zhongmou came to see me in person, which proves that the rumors are true. He is also a courageous person."
Mi Yang said this, and Guan Ping also agreed.
Although Sun Quan's military strategy is not satisfactory compared to that of his father and brother, in terms of personal courage, he is still a bit like his father and brother.
At this time, Guan Ping remembered how Mi Yang had scolded Sun Quan just now. With a smile on his lips, he said to Mi Yang:
"Zi Sheng just scolded Sun Quan before the case, which really pleased people's hearts."
In fact, when Lu Su was the governor-general, Jiang Dong said that Liu Bei had borrowed money from Jingzhou and refused to return it, which had not happened yet.
When Lu Su was still alive, he only wanted Nanjun, which was not too much from a moral point of view.
However, after Lu Su died and Lu Meng took charge of the Jiangdong army, the so-called borrowing of Jingzhou gradually began to spread.
At first, Guan Yu only regarded this as a joke in order to maintain the alliance between Sun and Liu.
Unexpectedly, despite being ignored, this rumor became more and more intense, and to a certain extent, it disturbed the views of many unreasonable people.
Nowadays, this rumor has been used by Sun Quan as an excuse to launch troops to attack Jingzhou.
It's so ridiculous.
In the past, Guan Ping had always hated this rumor, but he had no chance to refute it. What Mi Yang did today just fulfilled his wish.
Once Mi Yang's words spread out today, and Sun Quan's angry and angry reaction after being exposed by Mi Yang today, those rumors will gradually be disproven, and the hearts of the people of Jingzhou will be more aligned with Liu Bei's side.
To be honest, Mi Yang felt very comfortable scolding him today.
But Sun Quan, whom he can scold today, has no ability to argue. It's not that he is very eloquent, but that he stands on the side of the truth.
Justice is in people's hearts.
Even Sun Quan and Lu Meng could confuse a group of people's opinions through rumors.
However, since the Qing Dynasty, the history books have been clear, and the true ownership of Jingzhou will be open to public opinion thousands of years later, let alone today.
At this time, Mi Yang said to Guan Ping, "Sun Quan suddenly came to the police today, and Lu Meng did not show up today. Maybe Lu Meng is no longer trusted by Sun Quan."
Mi Yang did not say that Lu Meng was seriously ill.
After all, he knew that this was too unbelievable, so it was fine for Sun Quan to know.
Faced with Mi Yang's judgment, Guan Ping nodded in agreement.
Mi Yang would not let down his guard against Jiangdong's army outside the city just because Lu Meng was seriously ill and unable to see things.
Not to mention that Sun Quan will not become fearless just because Sun Quan is now in charge of the army.
It's just that a big enemy fell, which still made him feel quite relaxed.
After Guan Ping agreed, he said to Mi Yang, "No wonder Lu Meng had been holding back his troops before and never retreated. It turned out that he was waiting for Sun Quan's arrival."
"I guess Sun Quan came to Gong'an because he was angry because of Lü Meng's defeat. He came to Gong'an personally to take charge of the army in order to seek revenge."
"If this is the case, the Jiangdong army outside the city will be unable to retreat for a while."
In Guan Ping's words, he analyzed Sun Quan's purpose of coming to the police and came up with a speculation that is most consistent with common sense.
Because Guan Ping didn't know the news that Lü Meng was seriously ill, he didn't know the real reason why Lü Meng didn't retreat before.
Based on all the current information, he could only draw the above logical inference.
Although Mi Yang knew that Guan Ping's inference was inconsistent with the facts, he also agreed with the results derived by Guan Ping.
Neither Mi Yang nor Guan Ping knew the real reason why Sun Quan came to the Public Security Bureau. After all, during this period of time, the Public Security Bureau was besieged from all sides and there was no information from inside and outside.
No matter how hard these two people thought about it, they would never have thought that Mi Fang, who had always been a secretive person, would actually come up with counterintuitive tactics to disrupt Jiangdong's internal affairs for the sake of her son.
Moreover, even if Mi Yang and Guan Ping knew Sun Quan's true purpose of coming to the police, to put it another way.
But today, as a powerful monarch, Sun Quan was so scolded by Mi Yang.
It seems that Sun Quan had already regarded Mi Yang as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of her quickly.
It is very likely that defense will turn into offense.
The derogatory term "cunning thief" was used by Lu Xun to insult Liu Bei in history.
After Liu Bei was scolded by Lu Xun, a well-educated person like him couldn't help but fight with Lu Xun, let alone Sun Quan, who was not generous.
After both Mi Yang and Guan Ping realized this, Guan Ping said with some worry, "Zi Sheng, there is not enough food in the city."
After hearing these words, a solemn look appeared on Mi Yang's face.
There is an epidemic in Jingzhou this year, and because of Guan Yu's long-lasting war between Xiangfan and Xiangfan, it is already in a food shortage situation.
In the past, whenever the counties and counties in Jingzhou had excess grain, they would mostly transport it to the front line to supply Guan Yu's army. There was not much surplus grain in the public security city.
Of course, the Public Security Bureau, as an important town in the defense of Jiangdong, originally had stored grain for several months and treated it as a strategic reserve and did not act rashly.
Even though Guan Yu was short of food at that time, he never thought about saving food.
But at first there were only three thousand defenders in Gong'an City, but now there are nearly ten thousand troops inside and outside Gong'an City.
In addition, Mi Yang captured many Jiangdong soldiers, and the number of military households in the public security city is now three times that of before.
The consumption rate of military rations is at least three times higher than before.
Originally, according to the two-month defense period set by Guan Yu, even if there was not much food in the public security city, it would be enough to feed and drink ten thousand people for two months. However, unfortunately, current events changed too quickly.
With internal consumption increasing and friendly forces unable to transport food supplies, the public security forces are approaching a food shortage situation.
If Jiangdong's army had been in the outer city and refused to retreat, the food in the public security city would have been exhausted in less than a month.
Everyone knows that troops and horses should move forward before food and fodder are used.
Once the food and grass in the city are exhausted, the Public Security City will immediately face a catastrophe.
Facing the worried look on Guan Ping's face, Mi Yang said to Guan Ping, "Instruct the city's grain officer to reduce the rations for the Jiangdong prisoners."
"As long as they don't starve to death."
After Mi Yang took the Jiangdong prisoners into the city, in order to prevent them from causing chaos, he did not give them too much food rations.
Now if we reduce it even further, I think we can save a lot of food rations.
If it is still insufficient by then, we will have no choice but to take action on those large households.
In fact, in the current world, if this happened under the rule of Cao Wei, those prisoners would either be meat or they would be killed.
But Mi Yang would not do that.
Maybe if Mi Yang did this, he wouldn't be able to make the public security city hold on for a long time, but it would be enough to make the public security city have enough food to hold on for a while longer.
In more than a month, Mi Yang can do a lot of things.
Besides, reinforcements from Yizhou should be arriving soon.
After receiving Mi Yang's instructions, Guan Ping nodded silently.
Now we can only do this for the time being.
When Sun Quan returned to the camp, the word "cunning rogue" cursed by Mi Yang kept echoing in his mind. This made Sun Quan, who had always been regarded as the supreme leader of Jiangdong, feel great shame.
He vowed to kill Mi Yang and then do it quickly.
Sun Quan strictly ordered Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang not to disclose anything they saw today, otherwise they would be punished by military law.
Then Sun Quan returned to his tent, drew out the long sword from his waist, and cut off half of his writing desk with one strike.
During the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan made clear his mind and strengthened his determination to resist Cao Cao.
Today he repeated his old tricks in order to strengthen his determination to cook deer.
The angry Sun Quan wanted to immediately mobilize his troops and attack the city to vent his anger, but then he remembered Zhang Zhao's advice.
Sun Quan, who was worried about the overall situation in Jiangdong, began to hesitate again.
At this moment, his attendant Gu Li came to report that it was Sima Yi who was the envoy of the King of Wei and wanted to see him.
Upon hearing Sima Yi's request for an audience, a look of confusion flashed across Sun Quan's face, but since the other party was an envoy from the King of Wei, Sun Quan still chose to receive him.
Sima Yi didn't wait long outside the tent before he was taken into Sun Quan's tent by Gu Li.
After Sima Yi entered Sun Quan's tent, he saw Sun Quan sitting at his seat with a solemn face. There seemed to be nothing unusual about his face.
But Sima Yi, who was alert by nature, noticed that half of the desk in front of Sun Quan was missing, and the missing half of the desk was lying on the ground at the moment.
Seeing this scene, Sima Yi felt a little more confident about his plan today.
Today's meeting between Sun Quan and Mi Yang was known to the entire Jiangdong camp, and Sima Yi was no exception.
Although Sun Quan did not disclose the specific content of his meeting with Mi Yang to anyone after he returned.
But judging from his actions in cutting the case, it is obvious that his meeting with Mi Yang was not pleasant, and he may even have suffered a big loss.
In this case, if he doesn't make good use of this, how can he be worthy of the humiliation of being trapped for these days.
Updates are available every day at 12 noon, 18:00 and 24:00.
Additional updates will be completed gradually.
