The wind does not last forever, and the sudden rain does not last forever. Even though the heavy rain in Guanzhong is abnormal, it will not continue like that. The rain is the same as the Sui Dynasty's power declines, and the scattered raindrops fall and cannot stop people. The huge convoy from Jinyang finally walked on the road from the forest and moved forward with difficulty.

Before the three armies move, food and grass will take the lead. The two armies are in conflict with each other. All the generals understand that food is the fundamental truth in the army. It is important to charge and fight against the powerful generals who fight against the insults, but if you don’t have food and grass support, you will be a hero who is a strong man and you will be hungry for three or five days.

Li Yuan was not a man who knew about the army. He began to accumulate food and grass a few years ago to prepare for the capture of the world. In the past, the emperor conquered Liaodong, and his men and horses were given 100 days of food, and he also gave him armor, spears, clothes and supplies, military equipment, fire curtains, and three stones left by others, and no one could win. He ordered the army to: those who abandoned rice and millet were beheaded! The soldiers were all digging pits under the curtain and buried them.

Li Yuan refused to do this because the previous army had limited supplies, and the main supplies were supported by the Jinyang treasury, and relying on the water transportation, transporting the food and grass to the front army. The top priority of civil and military officials in Jinyang was to ensure that there was no shortage of food and grass in front of the enemy. If the front line army was cut off, no matter how kind Li Yuan was, he would inevitably start a large-scale killing.

The errands of transporting grain and grass are not easy to pay, and compared with the battles of the front enemies, it is not easy to go much further. Just recruiting civilians to dispatch personnel to ensure that the grain is transported to the front as much as possible, and not wasting transportation capacity or consuming too much grain and rice is not a job that ordinary military generals can do.

Most of the soldiers are straightforward, and fighting with swords is common, and planning and dispatching is not their main point. Putting these things in front of them is enough to make these soldiers as big as a fight, let alone letting them find ways to solve them, which is even more difficult. Fortunately, Li Yuan is famous, and heroes from the north come to join in. Among them, there are naturally talented people who can do such responsibilities. Liu Chen, the general responsible for transporting food and grass, is one of them.

Liu Chen is not astonishing as he is not outstanding in his art. Compared with a group of tigers and wolves in Jinyang City, he can't do anything, whether he is riding or shooting, or playing spears and spears. However, he can write and calculate skills, and his carefulness, and his ability to coordinate and coordinate. Even Liu Wenjing, who has always looked down on poor families, also praised him. In addition, Liu Chen himself is good at dancing and knows how to please Shangguan, but he was admitted as a private person by Liu Wenjing and was then recommended to Li Jiancheng. This time, Li Jiancheng deliberately left Liu Chen in Jinyang to serve Li Yuanji, which was to rely on his talents to ensure the supply of military food.

Liu Chen's performance did not disappoint everyone's expectations. The many soldiers and horses on the front line were useless every day. Under Liu Chen's dispatch, they were arranged in an orderly manner. They did not cause any trouble and did not delay the time. Li Yuanji always came to be good at martial arts, but he did not take Liu Chen's skills seriously, but no one disturbed him to practice martial arts and shoot hunting. Therefore, he threw all his errands to Liu Chen and ran to Xiaoyao himself.

Liu Chen was born in a poor family, and his ancestors opened a restaurant to make a living. He helped him with a job since he was a child, so he learned this skill. The restaurant was naturally unable to be opened in a mess. Liu Chen didn't want to be a small shopkeeper for the rest of his life and came to Jinyang to join the army, hoping to get rich and return. He naturally would not miss such a great opportunity. Although the errand was heavy, he did not complain. Instead, he took all his skills and handled the food transportation matter cleanly.

The people accumulated by the Li family over the years and Li Yuan's own kindness and reputation are not useless. They are also recruiting Masters to transport food and grass. The people of Jinyang are extremely enthusiastic. They do not need officers and soldiers to go to the countryside to catch people with whips and ropes. Some of them come to apply for recruitment. They do not need to hit whips and sticks when working, so they voluntarily work hard. With such good people, and Liu Chen does have the means, if they follow the steps, Liu Chen believes that everything will go very smoothly. The front-line soldiers will not be hungry, and they can also make a name for themselves and leave their names in front of the Duke of Tang, and seek luck in the future.

Unfortunately, the sky did not meet people's wishes. Li Yuan's military order suddenly arrived, and the demand for food and grass on the front line suddenly increased several times. This order was like a scoundrel from the sky, beating Liu Chen to the point of being dizzy and almost thought he had heard it wrong. Not to mention that the food and grass in Jinyang are not endless. It will not take long to use this number to consume Jinyang's food. It only means that the required number has exceeded the transportation capacity. After all, the civilians in Jinyang have limited vehicles, even livestock, so how could they transport as much as they want. Moreover, the roads are difficult to carry heavy rain in the sky, and it is not easy to maintain the daily transportation capacity. Who can bear the number of times?

It was not until he learned the inside story from the commander general that he swallowed up all his resentment. Who could blame this? If the Yinshi Master had not been vicious and threw hundreds of thousands of people to Jinyang, the Duke of Tang would not have made such a bad decision. In the troubled times, people were unpredictable. Although there were many heroes in the world, there were not many people who were willing to take out military rations to support a group of people. Thinking about the situation in my hometown that the government urged me to rent me, and even the people were displaced and their families were destroyed and their people were destroyed, I felt more and more that I had not chosen the wrong lord. As for the military order, I had to bite the bullet and complete it.

If the animal power is insufficient, they will borrow it from the people. If the manpower is insufficient, they will have to collect it. It is always difficult to violate military orders. If the people of Jinyang have any wronged places, they have to report it in the future.

With the name of the Li family and the power of the Jinyang army, these things can always be done, but the real difficulty started from the time of leaving Jinyang. Even if Li Yuan is kind, he would not abuse money and food to support useless people. The people are not as good as military soldiers, and even the Master who carries food and grass cannot treat them as war soldiers.

Those who are mean as Wang Rengong regard the Master as grass, carry food, and steal military rations and behead them immediately. If they have no food to starve to death, they are worthy of it. If they are not as good as they are, they will catch other Masters. Li Yuan has always been famous for benevolence, but he just offers a few bowls of porridge to the Master every day to ensure that people will not starve to death. In this chaotic world, he is a rare benevolent lord.

People cannot eat a few taels of food every day and do things without the energy. No matter how hard they are to serve the Duke of Tang, they are unable to do so. Moreover, the roads are damaged for many days, which makes it difficult for the team to move forward. The military soldiers do not care about cherishing their animal power, waving their whips, and whipping the carts and whining. The wheels of the carts are struggling on the collapsed ground. From time to time, the wheels are trapped in the mud, and no matter how hard the animals work, they cannot pull them. Liu Chen had to run over with his army, pushing or pulling the carts out of the mud pit.

Liu Chen could no longer tell whether it was rain or sweat on his face. He only remembered that he wiped it harder and more and more. He knew that this was not a solution, but there was no other way to imagine. If you want to blame it, blame the rain for being too bad. It was a rare thing to rain heavily in Guanzhong and Shanxi. I didn't expect that someone would use the method of driving people out of the city to damage evil, otherwise the Duke of Tang would not be so anxious to ask for food.

As long as the food is transported this time, the road will be dry after raining in a few days. As for the time being, this hard work is nothing, and the real thing that makes you worry is another thing. I just hope that God will open your eyes and never let your worries come true...

Just as I thought of this, I saw a man in front of me, covered in mud, stumbled towards the team like a little ghost. The man had already lost one of his military boots, one with his boots and the other with his barefoot, but he didn't care about changing it. In addition, the road was difficult to move, and he felt anxious, but he fell again and fell into the mud.

Liu Chen didn't care about the appearance of the person, but stumbled towards the man and said anxiously: "What's the situation ahead?"

The scout who was sent to explore the way was Liuchen Township Party, and he had the strongest friendship with him. When he answered, he choked and hoarse, "Liu Da, something big is wrong! Fen River! Fen River is rising! Peach Blossom Flood is coming, and water is everywhere, several feet thick, and our car can't get through!"

A sound of thunder was like thunder. Liu Chen's strength dissipated with the news, and he fell to the ground powerlessly, not caring about mud and water soaking his battle robe. What he feared the most was still happening.

In previous years, the Peach Blossom Flood was April, but this year it was advanced due to this abnormal heavy rain. The Fen River flooded and overflowed the embankment, and destroying the road surface was still a trivial matter. The temporarily formed water will not be able to fall for a while. If the water dissipated by itself, I don’t know when it will be. However, it is not easy to move forward with the water. These livestock are extremely heavy, so how can they wade in the water? Besides, these civilians may not be able to endure this hardship.

Even if they are willing to wade forward, their speed cannot be compared with walking on the plain, and the date is inevitable. The most terrible thing is that even if they move forward desperately, how should they solve the problem when they arrive at the Yellow River? In the past, the Yellow River, which had no wind and waves, was even more dangerous when it was the Peach Blossom Flood. The ferry often stopped at the time of the water level and then resumed traffic. How could so much supplies pass through the Yellow River?

Even though Liu Chen had talented people, he could not think of a solution at this time. On the one hand, he was the military order of the Duke of Tang, and on the other hand, he was the damn God. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were waiting for the food to be put into the pot, but he could not arrive on time. Even if Duke of Tang did not punish him, how could those robes spare him?

After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more I became desperate. For the first time, Liu Chen found that he was desperate and had no choice but to imagine. His eyes fell on his sword, perhaps... this was the last solution.

"choke"!

With a crisp sound, Liu Chen suddenly drew his sword in his hand and wiped it towards his neck without saying a word. However, his friend and several soldiers around him had already rushed over, pressed Liu Chen's hands and feet hard, and took the knife off. The friend even cried and said, "Liu Da, what's the point of death? Who should rely on to transport food if you die? You are a coward at this time! Even if the military law is difficult to spare, we have to transport the food over and don't ruin the affairs of the Duke! This is the grace of the Duke!"
