Chapter 444: : Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Gonglu

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Xuzhou is also a locust plague, and Xuzhou is close to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and more refugees from the two states go to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei sighed, "Since the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the heroes have been everywhere, and the people are in distress. They are Xuzhou pastoralists, and they should save the people in distress."

"Big Brother Gao Yi." Guan Yu clasped his fist.

Chen Deng was hesitant to say something. Although Xuzhou was rich, the Cao army attacked Xuzhou last year. The place he passed was sorrowful. The food and grass in the city were enough for the army, but he couldn't afford too many people.

"Yuanlong has something to say, but say it." Liu Bei turned his attention to Chen Deng.

"My lord, Xuzhou is also experiencing a locust plague. There is not much grain and grass in the treasury. If the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou are allowed to enter Xuzhou, the grain and grass will be unsustainable. I hope the lord will think twice." Chen Deng said.

Liu Bei sighed again, showing his compassion. "The refugees in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty. They are instructed to set up porridge sheds in various places and let them leave Xuzhou with a full meal."

Guan Yu's expression was unbearable, but his expression was dim when he thought of the situation in Xuzhou.

"The lord is kind, and the people will be grateful when they learn about it." Chen Deng said: "The subordinates have heard that Binzhou accepts tens of thousands of refugees. Why not let these refugees go to Binzhou to find a way to survive."

Countless thoughts flashed in Liu Bei's heart. At this critical moment, if he saves the people, then his prestige among the people will reach a peak. In the troubled times, the people are the root. Cao Jun outside Xuzhou is watching, inside. There was Langxie Zangba who refused to listen to orders. After Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou, he also wanted to train the cavalry to pack up Zangba and others, and truly hold Xuzhou in his hands. However, people are not as good as the sky, but it happened at this moment. The locust plague.

"Just in the meaning of Yuanlong, how difficult it is for the people, Yuanlong ordered the people to comfort the people, and Bei will personally go outside the city and ask the people for crimes." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were deeply moved when they heard the words, while Chen Deng pouted secretly. No matter how good they were, he would drive the people out of Xuzhou, saying that they were to let the people go to Bingzhou to find a way to survive. How many people can actually reach Bingzhou? Such a plague of locusts, there must be strongmen along the way.

However, Liu Bei's behavior still made the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou grateful. Being able to give them a bowl of steaming rice porridge at such a moment is enough to make them remember, not to mention Liu Bei personally went to the people to apologize.

Many refugees are grateful for Dade's departure from Xuzhou and remember Liu Bei, Xuzhou's animal husbandry, in their hearts.

Now, as the emperor, Liu Biao naturally has to show the emperor’s tolerance. On the advice of the officers and generals under his command, he accepted some of the refugees. Of course, these are the young and strongest of the refugees. They are incorporated into the army. This is also a good way to dissolve the refugees. After the Great War in Jingzhou, the army was seriously damaged. The arrival of refugees also made Liu Biao replenish the army much faster. As for what kind of casualties these soldiers will have on the battlefield, it is not a matter for him to consider, ordinary soldiers. Dead, there are more young men to add in.

"Lord, now Xuzhou and Jingzhou are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is also an opportunity for our army." The Tactical expression is paler than before.

"Zhi Cai, Yanzhou's military affairs are heavy, but you have to put your body first. If you are ill, who will this lord depend on?" Cao Cao said with concern.

"The subordinate's body is intact, it's just the occasional wind and cold." The strategy slowly said: "At this moment, Yanzhou is embarrassed. Why didn't the lord raise his army to fight against his ministers? Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he survived in Shouchun."

"How can this Hou know, but there is not much money and food in the army." Cao Cao looked helpless. If Yanzhou at this time was like Jizhou, he would definitely fight against Xuzhou and Yuan Shu. "Cao Cao sighed.

The strategy clinched his hands: "Master, Yuan Shu has a method to make a crossbow. If Yanzhou can get it, why can't he not break Xuzhou, and at this time Shouchun complains, the lord only needs to lead ten thousand soldiers to Shouchun. It was said that Yuan Shu fell ill after returning to Shouchun. The matter in the city was only handed over to officials under his command. Compared with Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was even more short of food. After the Lord defeated Yuan Shu, No one can match the world’s reputation."

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then cast his gaze on Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, the prince wants to fight against Yuan Shu, is there enough grain and grass in the city to meet the needs of 10,000 troops?"

Xun Yu said: "It is the great man's fortune that the Lord prospered his troops to crusade against him. There is enough food and grass in the city to meet the needs of the 10,000 army."

In fact, the food and grass in Yanzhou can no longer withstand the expedition, but in order to make Yuan Shu, a rebel, even if it is difficult, Xun Yu will have to complete it. He has a deep affection for the Han Dynasty, and he also sees clearly. In the current state of the world, although Liu Biao inherited Datong and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, this emperor lacked weight in the hearts of the princes. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, and the Li Lao Guo Pun Rebellion, the Han Dynasty was in the hearts of the princes. The last trace of prestige has long since vanished If Liu Biao can use powerful means to defeat Yuan Shu, he may win the recognition and admiration of the princes, but after the attack on Yuan Shu, Jingzhou loses his army and loses his generals, and finds nothing. Facing the beholder Sun Ce, Can only passively defend, it is difficult to make the princes surrender.

Yuan Shu said that although the emperor was defeated, it also showed that the great man at this time is no longer what he used to be. If it is placed at the time of the Lingdi and Huandi, even if the Yuan family IV and the three masters dare to do this rebellious thing, only a holy life is needed. , Can defeat the Yuan family.

In August of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao mobilized 10,000 troops in Shanyang to defeat Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao sent envoys to admire Cao Cao's actions.

At this time, the officials in the land of Jiujiang did not feel any hope. The officials along the city saw the arrival of Cao Jun and opened the city gates to welcome Cao Jun to enter. However, within half a month, the army had arrived in Shouchun, and the city was panicked for a while. , Yuan Shu's officials are even more secretly liaison with Cao Cao.

With Yuan Shu's decadence, Shouchun's panic, and distractions, the officials in the city thought more about what they would do after Cao Jun broke Shouchun.

After the news of Cao Cao's attack on Yuan Shu reached Jiangdong, Sun Ce immediately summoned his civilian officers and generals. General Zhang Xun had secretly contacted Jiangdong. If at this moment, Cao Jun would break through Shouchun, Jiangdong would suffer a great loss.

Even if Shouchun didn't have a living after Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor, it was a land of prosperity. If Jiangdong could get it, he could attack Xuzhou and provide food and grass for the army.

"Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shu, and descended from the city watching the wind along the way. Cao Cao had a wolfish ambition. After occupying Shouchun, the Lujiang River was in danger." Sun Ce cast his sights on Zhou Yu and said, "Can Gong Jin have a good plan?"
