Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

In this team, they were as quiet as fish during the day, motionless.

As soon as night fell, they immediately turned into wandering tigers, breaking into houses and attacking the stored food of those innocent people without mercy.

This move allowed the Wei army to quickly taste fresh food and grass.

The problem of food and grass shortage, which was like a big stone hanging over their heads, seemed to fall to the ground suddenly.

As for where the food and grass came from, Xiahou Yuan refused to reveal a word, as if his mouth was sealed.

When the soldiers first got the food and grass, they were so happy that they didn't think about anything else.

The morale of these Wei soldiers gradually stabilized.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world?

Every night, there would be wailing in Jincheng, and countless people were looted.

Despair filled the entire city.

As time went by, rumors began to spread.

More and more people began to spread rumors that the food and grass eaten by the Wei army were all taken from the people by Xiahou Yuan.

Faced with such rumors, Xiahou Yuan still denied it as usual.

But.

How could those soldiers really know nothing?

They knew very well where the food and grass they mentioned came from.

But.

In the face of the instinct of survival, they chose to remain silent.

They pretended to be unaware and chose to continue to enjoy the so-called "food and grass" transferred from other places by their general.

So.

Jincheng instantly became a hell on earth in the eyes of the people.

And in the south of Jincheng, in the main camp of the Han army.

There was also confusion and puzzlement.

"This is really puzzling."

Liu Bei frowned and said in confusion,

"Intelligence shows that the food in Jincheng will not last for a few days. Logically, it should have run out of food by now."

"But, it has been seventeen days since we besieged the city. Why hasn't Xiahou Yuan's food and grass run out yet?"

"What's going on?"

Liu Bei was not the only one confused.

The generals around him also fell into deep thought, looking at each other with blank eyes.

According to common sense, the Wei army should have been in a dilemma of running out of food and grass at this time.

Their military morale would have collapsed as the food ran out.

Even more, they should have surrendered one after another.

But no one expected that the morale of the Wei army was so stable that no one surrendered.

"Did Xiahou Yuan conjure up food and grass?"

Zhang He half-jokingly speculated.

Liu Bei naturally would not believe such a ridiculous statement.

"Prime Minister, how do you think Xiahou Yuan solved the problem of running out of food and grass?"

Finally, Liu Bei could not help but ask Deng Mu for advice.

Deng Mu pondered for a while, and suddenly turned his eyes to Guo Jia:

"Is Jia Kui also in Jincheng now?"

280When this question came out, everyone was stunned.

They didn't understand why the prime minister suddenly mentioned Jia Kui.

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly answered:

"Cao Cao did send Jia Kui and Gao Rou to assist Xiahou Yuan."

"Now Gao Rou has been killed, and Jia Kui should be Xiahou Yuan's military advisor now."

Hearing this, Deng Mu's doubts were immediately dispelled.

So, he sneered and said:

"With Jia Kui here, nothing is surprising."

"I'm sure he must have suggested to Xiahou Yuan to rob all the food stored by the people in the city as military rations."

As soon as these words came out, there was a cry of surprise in the big tent.
