Chapter 344 Everyone has their own plans
"The great man of the Han Dynasty~"

When mentioning these people, Chen Ran felt like laughing.

During the Western Han Dynasty, these people were nothing more than landlords and bullies, poor creatures who were treated arbitrarily by cruel officials.

No one would have thought that by the Eastern Han Dynasty, the powerful people of that time would have become the real masters.

This is really a matter of time. Three hundred years later, it's my turn~~~
"There's no rush for this."

Chen Ran thought for a moment and said, "Someone is more anxious than us."

He was indeed not in a hurry, because he had seized a lot of supplies when he was fighting the Baibo bandits in Hedong.

Coupled with the rewards given by the system, it can last for a long time.

In comparison, the one who was more anxious was Master Dong.

"Grandmaster, the army's food supply is insufficient. We will be worried about food shortage in a month at most."

Li Ru could naturally see the crisis that Jia Xu could see.

Matters like this must be decided by the Grand Master as soon as possible.

"There is no food." Dong Zhuo had fought in wars frequently, so he naturally knew how terrible food shortage was for an army.

"Do you have any solution to this?"

Li Ru is quite capable, but a good cook cannot cook without rice.

"Most of the grain-producing land is in the hands of the coalition forces."

"The only places around Luoyang where we can get food are Hedong and Guanzhong."

"Hedong. Forget it. Zihou has a bad temper."

Dong Zhuo tacitly acknowledged that Hedong was Chen Ran's territory, and if he went there to collect grain, it would cause Chen Ran's dissatisfaction.

"As for Guanzhong," he thought for a while, "first send people to Guanzhong to collect grain, and then see what the coalition forces do. If they refuse to withdraw, then we'll make other plans."

He himself was well aware that a lot of food had been wasted due to the war.

He also called in hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops and their horses. After so much consumption, the Han Dynasty, which had already been riddled with holes, could certainly not hold on.

Now we can only hope that the Guandong coalition forces withdraw, otherwise we can only escape.

As for the Kanto Allied Forces, the initial setback had a significant impact on the morale of the troops.

Fortunately, they had strong capital, and Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, distributed a lot of food, fodder and wine to the soldiers of various units, which had a significant effect in restoring morale.

When the heroes gathered together for a feast, they all looked embarrassed when talking about the current war.

Gongsun Zan, who was still frightened, said, "Lü Fengxian and his sworn brother Chen Zihou are both brave enough to fight against ten thousand men. The soldiers under their command are even more elite, and they are difficult to resist."

Yuan Shu responded, "Yes, yes. Even if we defeat them, there is still Hulao Pass behind us!"

Yuan Shu had always been very dissatisfied with the fact that he was just a grain officer while Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance.

Whenever he had the chance, he wanted to hinder Yuan Shao.

It would be best if this meal was a farewell drink!
Naturally, Yuan Shao could not hide this little thought from him.

He narrowed his eyes and sneered, looking at Cao Cao, "Meng De, what do you think?"

"Our army is strong. We just need to wait for morale to recover. We will surely win if we suppress it strongly."

Cao Cao’s meaning is very simple. We have more people, more food and more money. Even if we use our capital to suppress them, we can still crush Lu Bu and Chen Ran.

But this is a stupid fight, anyone can use it, but it doesn't show one's real ability.

Moreover, the coalition forces have different thoughts, and everyone is thinking about preserving their strength. I am afraid that most of them will not put in any effort at that time.

He quickly proposed a new plan. "We all know the situation in Luoyang. There are so many mouths to feed, how can Dong the thief afford it?"

"Just wait quietly. The enemy army will retreat without food."

"Of course, we can also send troops to attack Sishui Pass to contain Dong's troops."

"We can also send envoys to Xiliang to find Ma Teng and Han Sui, and ask them to send troops to harass the rear of Dong thief in Guanzhong, disrupt his army's morale and cut off his food supplies."

"Good!" Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction. "Meng De's plan is very good. Let's do it according to Meng De's advice."

"General Wentai, how about you let your troops attack Sishui Pass?"

Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, responded with a dark face, "Master, I dare not refuse to contribute to the country. But if someone cuts off my army's food again."

The last time they attacked Sishui Pass, Yuan Shu had done something shady to Sun Jian, which made him very angry.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen."

Yuan Shao looked gloomy and stared at Yuan Shu with a sharp gaze, "If anyone dares to drag his feet again, I will not let him off easily!"

This was just short of naming a name, and the eyes of the heroes all turned to Yuan Shu.

After all, he is in charge of the coalition forces' food and fodder, so he must be the one to be asked about this matter.

Yuan Shu, with a gloomy face, lowered his head to drink without saying a word, pretending that the person talking was not him.

But of course he was already furious, wishing to kill Yuan Shao's entire family~~~
With Yuan Shao's status and position, he said such words in person. If Yuan Shu dared to do anything else, it would be like slapping Yuan Shao in the face in front of the whole world.

Although Yuan Shu really wanted to do this, he really didn't dare to do it.

After all, Yuan Shao was the one in power in the Yuan family, and everything that Yuan Shu had came from the Yuan family.

Seeing Yuan Shu bow his head, Yuan Shao snorted coldly, raised his wine glass and said, "Everyone, drink up~~~"

After drinking until they were drunk, the heroes returned to their camps.

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were under the command of Gongsun Zan, so their camp was naturally on the side of the Youzhou army.

When they came back, it was almost dawn. The three brothers were not sleepy at all, so they lit candles and gathered in the tent to chat.

The three brothers have always slept in one bed, which is called sleeping with feet touching each other~~~
Liu Bei, who was chatting with Guan Yu, did not hear Zhang Fei's loud voice. He looked around in confusion and was surprised to see Zhang Fei lying in front of the table, seeming to be doing something in the light of the candle.

He went over curiously and asked, "Third brother, are you drawing a talisman?"

Zhang Fei, looking embarrassed, clenched the brush in his hand and said, "I'm not drawing a talisman, I just want to draw for some reason~~~"

“Draw, draw?!”

It was dawn, and Chen Ran, who had gotten up early, was patrolling the camp. Suddenly, two lines of subtitles passed by his eyes.

'The modification of Zhang Fei has been completed, and the reward is now issued.'

'Note: 100,000 pieces of pork will be distributed.'

"Drawing? As expected, the butcher who killed the pig was rewarded with pork. This is really direct. If it was Cao Cao, wouldn't he have rewarded him with 100,000 wives?"

"The golden hoop stick must also be ground into an embroidery needle~~~"

This reward came just in time, as the army was short of food.

The Xiliang army was short of food, and the first to reduce supplies were naturally the peripheral miscellaneous troops such as Chen Ran and Lu Bu.

Of course, they won’t stop immediately, and they don’t dare to.

But this trend is irreversible.

There were complaints from within Lu Bu's army.

But Chen Ran started to gain weight.

There was still a lot of rice and pressed duck left, and most of the steak, lamb and pork were untouched.

Chen Ran is full of confidence and is prepared to make profits during the subsequent retreat.

He had just distributed a batch of pork and asked the firemen to prepare it for distribution to the soldiers as a reward.

In the afternoon, I received another reward.

'The modification of Guan Yu has been completed, and the reward is now issued.'

'Note: 100,000 jin of dates will be distributed.'

"Guan Yu, who stole dates, hands out dates. Hey, this is just average. Reading the Spring and Autumn Annals in broad daylight is just a waste of time."

Jujubes in the late Han Dynasty were classified as fruits and could only be considered a condiment.

"Lord."

When Jia Xu came to look for him, he said, "I'm afraid the Grand Tutor is planning to withdraw."

Chen Ran glanced at him and asked, "What news did you get?"

"General Zhonglang (Niu Fu) and his troops have set out to camp in Hongnong."

Hongnong is located between Guanzhong and Luoyang. The purpose of arranging the direct troops to be stationed here is to protect the retreat route and to prevent the coalition forces from continuing to pursue Guanzhong.

"Ah."

Chen Ran nodded. "In that case, we should withdraw our troops in half a month at most."

"My Lord." Jia Xu said with a smile, "Do you still want to follow me to Guanzhong?"

"How is that possible?" Chen Ran shook his head repeatedly. "I joined Dong Zhuo before in order to accumulate strength to seek justice. Now that Dong Zhuo's limelight has passed, how can I still follow him and become cannon fodder? I'm not cheating him. I've already done a lot for him."

"Indeed." Jia Xu nodded immediately. "My lord, you pacified the Baibo bandits in Hedong and cleared the hidden dangers in the rear for Dong Zhuo. You also defeated the coalition forces in front of Hulao Pass. You can say that you have made great military achievements. You don't owe Dong Zhuo anything."

Jia Xu really knows how to speak and act according to people's expressions.

He used to call him "Grand Tutor", but when he heard that Chen Ran intended to leave, he immediately changed his words and called him "Dong Zhuo".

This is also considered giving face, at least he didn't call me Dong thief~~~
"What is your lord going to do?"

"Dong Zhuo is going to Guanzhong, and I will stay in Luoyang." Chen Ran smiled. "It is enough to control Hedong and the vicinity of Luoyang."

Jia Xu thought about it carefully and said, "My lord, our army can raise its own food and grass, so we should have the confidence to break away. But first, what will Dong Zhuo say, and second, how should we respond if the coalition forces approach Luoyang?"

Chen Ran did not respond immediately, but asked, "What do you have in mind?"

You are a military strategist, so now is the time for me to ask you for advice.

Jia Xu was worthy of being a first-class military strategist in the late Han Dynasty. He immediately came up with a countermeasure.

"Dong Zhuo's side is simple. Just one sentence will be enough to cut him off."

If Dong Zhuo escapes, the coalition forces will inevitably chase him down.

Therefore, the rear guard is naturally indispensable.

Chen Ran volunteered to be the fourth place, which was not difficult at all.

"Ah."

Chen Ran nodded. This was what he thought.

"As for the coalition forces." At this point, Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "If Dong Zhuo leaves, he will definitely take the emperor and the court with him. Without the emperor and the court, Luoyang is just a city for the coalition forces."

"When the time comes, we only need to send people to spread rumors that there are constant rebellions in the territories of various princes and that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are everywhere."

"Haha~~~"

Chen Ran laughed and pointed at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, let's think alike."

The coalition forces were the combined forces of various princes from Guandong.

These coalition forces each have their own territory.

They came to Luoyang with their main forces. If they learned that there was a big problem in their own territory, they would of course go back immediately to put out the fire, and it was impossible for them to fight to the death for Yuan Shao here.

To be honest, Yuan Shao's personal charm is not that great.

Once the troops returned, Yuan Shao would not be able to stay in Luoyang for long.

His old nest is far away in Hebei. Once Jizhou Governor Han Fu and others go back first and cut off his retreat and food supply, he will be in big trouble.

What about Gongsun Zan? What if he returns to Youzhou first and then sends troops to Hebei?
Therefore, once the heroes retreated, Yuan Shao would inevitably retreat as well.

Now that the alliance leaders have left, the coalition will naturally disband.

At that time, at most there would be Yuan Shu whose territory was close by.
Thinking of Yuan Shu, Chen Ran couldn't help laughing. What a famous waste! If he really dared to stay, he might as well not leave!

"I'll leave this matter to Wenhe."

"Here~~~"
