Chapter 1031 Crisis

Outside Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao was still thinking about how to solve the current predicament, but he really couldn't think of a better way except fighting for consumption.

After thinking hard to no avail, he felt his stomach growling, and he couldn't help but frowned, and shouted, "Come here."

"What are your orders, my lord?" A personal guard came in immediately, bowing and cupping his fists.

"Why hasn't lunch been delivered today?"

The personal guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your subordinate, go and urge me now."

Under the urging of the personal guard, a lunch was quickly delivered to Yuan Shao's desk.

Although Yuan Shao is the leader of the coalition army and has a high status, but in order to show his determination to share weal and woe with the soldiers, Yuan Shao's meals are very ordinary, a bowl of rice, three dishes, two meat and one vegetable, and a bowl of porridge.

Yuan Shao glanced at it, and immediately frowned: "Why is the amount of food today reduced by 20% compared to before?"

A bowl of rice is 20% less, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice the difference, but Yuan Shao is obviously not an ordinary person, and he can tell the clue at a glance.

"My lord, the convoy transporting grain has not arrived for three consecutive days because the road was damaged by the heavy rain. According to the military order, the three men of grain and fodder failed to arrive on time, and the rations of the entire army will be reduced by two points until the next wave of grain and fodder arrives."

"Huh? Such an important military situation, why didn't you report it earlier?"

Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, and asked with some displeasure.

"Due to the road, the food failed to arrive on time. This happened from time to time, so I didn't report it to the lord, and I asked the lord to apologise."

Yuan Shao glanced at him, waved him to stand up, and said angrily: "The soldiers and horses will go before the food and grass are moved. If there is such a situation in the future, you must report to me as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he didn't eat any food, and got up directly to look for Yuan Shu.

"Highway, I heard that there has been no food delivery team arriving for three consecutive days? Do you know the specific reason?"

After seeing Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao didn't show any politeness.

Compared with Yuan Shao's urgency, Yuan Shu didn't care much, and said rather perfunctorily: "The heavy rain has washed away the mountain and blocked the road. Gongsun Bogui has already organized people to clear it, and it will probably be completed tomorrow.

New fodder will be delivered soon, so there is no need to worry at first. "

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and seeing Yuan Shu didn't care much, he couldn't help but said: "The road is the food supervisor, and he is also responsible for the safety of the coalition army's food and fodder. It's better to be careful."

Yuan Shu was disdainful in his heart, but it was not easy to show it on his face. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Shu will remember the order of the lord."

Having said that, the attitude is very perfunctory.

Yuan Shao knew that Yuan Shu had opinions on him, so he shouldn't be too harsh, he could only nod his head as he knew it.

However, after leaving Yuan Shu's tent, Yuan Shao kept his eyes open and ordered in a low voice: "Send an order to the high-ranking officials to urge Gongsun Bogui to repair the road as soon as possible. The supply of military rations is related to the overall situation. Don't make any mistakes."

However, that night, Yuan Shao realized that something serious had happened. The soldiers he sent to urge the high officials disappeared!

The subsequent news confirmed Yuan Shao's premonition, and Shang Ji brought him definite news—Gongsun Zan seemed to have rebelled!

It was Qian Huan who delivered the news to Shang Ji. As Shang Ji's neighbor, Gongsun Zan was at least in the top five in the ranking of Qian Huan's key monitoring targets. There were a lot of Qian Huan lurking in Gongsun Zan's army.

According to the introduction of Qian Huan who seemed to have run away, four days ago, Gongsun Zan invited all the generals to a banquet, in the name that he and the righteous man Li Yue hit it off and wanted to become brothers with different surnames.

Gongsun Zan was one of the vassals of the Eighteen Routes, and he was the official commander of Sishuiguan. Although high-ranking generals were actually responsible for monitoring Gongsun Zan, in theory they were Gongsun Zan's subordinates.

The superior wants to invite, and the reason is so lofty, how can he refuse?

Almost all senior generals went to the banquet.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan paid out of his own pocket to comfort all the troops at Sishuiguan, with enough wine and meat.

Almost everyone fell for it.

No one thought that Gongsun Zan would rebel, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would rebel.

Gongsun Zan got drunk on the army guarded by more than a dozen princes including Gao Gan, and then went out with knives and axes, doing mental calculations without intention.

And Gongsun Zan also added poison to the wine and meat to comfort the army. Almost all the troops not directly related to Gongsun Zan in Sishuiguan were poisoned, and the few who survived were overwhelmed by Gongsun Zan's absolute superiority in numbers. The 100,000 remaining troops were wiped out overnight. .

At the same time, Gongsun Zan sent troops overnight to destroy the road, pretending that it was washed away by a heavy rain, and detained all the grain and grass transported to Hulaoguan.

After doing all this, Gongsun Zan dispatched his henchmen to report to Yuan Shu that the road was damaged and the food could not be delivered in time for the time being, but he promised to repair the road within five days without affecting the food safety of the army.

Yuan Shu didn't doubt it too much. Due to various reasons, it is too common for food to arrive on time, and it is not worth making a fuss at all. Yuan Shu just sent someone to look at the damaged road, estimate the repair time, and report to Gongsun Zan. When the situation matched, he went straight home.

In this way, after three days of escape, Yuan Shao discovered some clues. It was not until the third night that Qian Huan, who had risked his life to escape from Sishui Pass, brought accurate news.

In fact, Qian Huan discovered the clues on the first day of the incident, but at this moment, the communication stone failed again, and Gongsun Zan blocked the Sishui Pass again. It was not until three days later that Qian Huan found a chance to escape.

"This... this... how is this possible?"

Yuan Shao was stunned for half a minute after hearing the news brought by Shang Ji, and finally muttered to himself.

"The situation is like this, please make a decision early!"

Shang Ji said with a solemn expression.

"Send an order to summon the princes to discuss the matter... Wait, wait first, don't call them yet!"

After reacting, Yuan Shao subconsciously summoned a group of heroes to discuss, but regretted it as soon as the order was issued. It is best not to say anything about Gongsun Zan's rebellion, otherwise the coalition forces will be in danger of falling apart in an instant!

"Leader, how long can our existing food and grass be used by the army?"

Shang Ji also agreed to keep it secret for the time being, but the most urgent thing right now is to find out how much food the coalition forces still have in store. Without food, no matter how strong the army is, it will have to be abolished.

Yuan Shao's complexion changed, and he said with a gloomy face: "The existing food can only be used by the army for 20 days under normal circumstances. If it is used sparingly, it can last for 40 days!"

"Unfortunately, it cannot be saved, and must be distributed according to normal food supply and demand."

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes, what Ninghou said is right, the food supply must not be reduced."

The reduction of food supply, on the one hand, affects the combat effectiveness, on the other hand, it directly exposes the fact that the coalition forces are short of food, and the blow to the morale of the coalition forces will be fatal!

"Twenty days!"

Thinking carefully about this number, Shang Ji said in a low voice: "That is to say, we must find a way to defeat the enemy within twenty days, either to take back the Sishui Pass, or break through the Hulao Pass, or we will die! "
