Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 19 Prelude to Siege
Zhang Ji went back to his tent to recuperate for a day, full of energy.

He got up and sat on the bench, feeling hungry, seeing half a bowl of millet rice on the table with two or three sticks of pickled vegetables piled up on it, he didn't dislike it, he ate it all up in a few mouthfuls.

Seriously, Zhang Ji hadn't had a serious meal for two days, and this amount of food wasn't enough to fit his teeth.

He intends to get people to ask for more food and wine, but then he thinks about Fan Chou's temperament, if he really wants to send people, he may have to shirk for a long time.He hesitated for a while, but still went to Fan Chou's tent.

On the way, several soldiers of Zhang Ji gathered together, the bowls were full of soup, but there was no rice. It seemed that the army was short of food.

It's just that Fan Chou said earlier that there was still five days' worth of food and grass in the camp, so how could there be no rice in the bowls of the soldiers on the first day?
Zhang Ji was secretly puzzled, and planned to make insinuations when he saw Fan Chou later, and he didn't want to ask for any food and drink at this time.

Seeing Zhang Ji walking away, those soldiers cursed in a low voice: "These Xiliang dogs are all beasts! I ate up all the rice one by two, and didn't even save some rice soup for me, so I just ate it." The bowl of water in my hand was scraped out from the bottom of the pot."

"That's right, these Xiliang dogs don't treat us as human beings at all! They want me to take the lead in the battle, and rob me of my rations in the next battle. If you don't follow, you will be bullied. Alas, I don't know how many fellow countrymen have fallen for these dogs. things in hand."

"If you want me to say, it's better for us..."

The two soldiers before quickly stopped talking, winked and lowered their voices.

"Don't die, go, go back and talk about it."

When Zhang Ji arrived outside Fan Chou's tent, before he entered, he could smell the smell of wine and meat. The soldiers in front of the tent saw that Zhang Ji's complexion was not good, so they hurried forward to salute.

"Is General Fan in the account?"

Zhang Ji deliberately pretended not to know what Fan Chou looked like in the tent, and asked loudly.

Fan Chou was drinking in the tent, when he heard Zhang Ji's voice from outside the tent, looking at the wine and meat on the table, he felt a little guilty for a while.

But he quickly calmed down and walked out with a smile on his face.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

Zhang Ji saw Fan Chou's greasy mouth at a glance, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Didn't the elder brother say that the army lacked food and wanted to attack the city?"

Fan Chou just assumed that Zhang Ji had never found out that he had intentionally withheld his grain and grass, and nodded in response, "What's the good idea, brother?"

A cold light flickered in Zhang Ji's eyes: "Use the same way to repay him, attack at night."

Fan Chou couldn't figure out Zhang Ji's thoughts for a while, and he didn't want to waste his soldiers in vain, so he stared at Zhang Ji for a while, and said with a smile: "I don't understand this night attack plan. If I lead the army for my brother, I'm afraid it will ruin my brother's plan."

Zhang Ji knew that Fan Chou would push back in this way, so he immediately replied, "Brother, don't worry, the strategy proposed by Ji will naturally be implemented by Ji. It's just that Ji's men will be short of soldiers, and night raids are the most energy-consuming. I hope that brother can provide some Grain and supplies..."

Fan Chou felt bad luck from the bottom of his heart.

Good guy, you came prepared.

Food and grass, food and grass, I think about my little food and grass all day long. Before you were arrested and taken to Chang'an, I think your people are eating well.

When I came back, everyone was full of oil, I don’t believe it, I just didn’t eat meat or drink, what are you pretending...

Besides, people will give meat to captives in a good manner?

If you don't disclose some information, I'll just stand on my head.

If Zhang Ji could know what Fan Chou was thinking, he would probably be wronged.

That kid Zhongping is really not a man, he was not given a single grain of rice the night he was tied up.

He was just beaten up, and he was not even given a few sips of water.

He was so hungry that there was only a buzzing in his head, not to mention revealing information, he even struggled to open his mouth.

"Don't worry, brother, the food and grass will be allocated to brother's account immediately. As for the soldiers... How about giving 2000 more to brother?"

Fan Chou felt a bit heartbroken.

Zhang Ji knew that this was probably Fan Chou's bottom line, so he simply agreed.

The two were discussing, and suddenly a soldier outside the account sent a letter from Li Jue.

Fan Chou opened it and saw that the letter was urging him and Zhang Ji to attack the city immediately without wasting time.

After reading the letter, Zhang Ji guessed in his heart that Lv Bu's offensive was fierce, and Li Jue couldn't hold on, so he couldn't help becoming impatient.

Inside Chang'an City
Zhong Ping finally knew who it was who tested him through his father's mouth yesterday.

Today, Dong Cheng, uncle of the Chao Dynasty, and Sikong and Zhang Xi joined forces to perform, saying that Zhongping was young and not popular with the public.

Moreover, since leading the army, he has acted arbitrarily, violated the etiquette system, and made many rash advances, which is unbearable.

I hope that Liu Xie can take back the military power in the city and serve as another general.

Zhongping can't figure it out.

Is there really someone who is still thinking about seizing power at this time?
This fucking is Li Jue's inner ghost, right? !

If I attack a battalion, is it considered a rash advance? ? ?

Sure enough, I'm still too young, I don't understand politics at all...

Wang Yun glanced at Zhang Xi coldly, and stepped forward to hear: "I wonder who Sikong wants to recommend as a general?"

Zhang Xi and Dong Cheng looked at each other, bowed to Liu Xie and said, "General Yang Ding of Zhennan is worthy of use."

"Yang Zhengxiu?"

Xun You's expression changed, Yang Ding was once Dong Zhuo's subordinate...

What is Zhang Xi's intention in recommending this person at this time? !

Wang Yun raised his eyes, fixedly looking at Dong Cheng.

No wonder he would side with Zhang Xi, Dong Cheng was once a part of Niu Fu under Dong Zhuo's command.

Although he sent his daughter into the palace to become a noble concubine, and is now honored as an uncle of the country, after all, he has the taint of having followed Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, the domestic and foreign relatives in the DPRK are weak, and if Liu Xie wants to take advantage of Liu Xie's young age, the only way is to form a party.

Yang Ding also followed Dong Zhuo, and he had no foundation in the court, so he was in control.

Presumably, Zhang Xi also wanted to use his relatives to expand the power of the DPRK and China, so as to compete with his own separation of power.

Wang Yun felt chills in his heart.

Just settle down a little bit and want to seek power... How many people are left in the court who really want the Han Dynasty?

"We will discuss this matter later."

Liu Xie keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, let's retreat from the court, and let the young ones stay."

Zhong Ji, who was very discerning, was the first to retreat.

Zhang Xi originally wanted to speak out, but Zhongji withdrew, and even left with Wang Yun, Xunyou and others.

Half of the people in the palace left, Zhang Xi had no choice but to swallow his words, bowed and retreated with Dong Cheng.

Zhong Ping knew that Liu Xie supported him, but this support still lacked some confidence.

Therefore, after being left alone by Liu Xie, Zhong Ping directly explained the future plan to Liu Xie to dispel the other party's worries.

After leaving the palace, Zhong Ping was not in the mood to go home for dinner. He went directly to the tower, greeted the guards, and then asked.

"What is the enemy doing today?"

"Half an hour ago, there was some faint movement in the camp, as if the soldiers were being reorganized."

A soldier who was in charge of looking out replied.

Zhong Ping had a solemn expression on his face. It seemed that the real siege battle was not far away.
