Here in Yuzhou, Lin Chuan and others have been arranging for displaced people to flee from other states in the past few days, because there are too many displaced people who have fled.

Yuzhou is temporarily closed outside the customs, and various localities are not receiving displaced people.

Only a few military tents have been set up in a few places outside the customs for their use, and some soup kitchens have also been set up to solve the problem of food and clothing for some people, but there are too many displaced people.

Most of the time it is in short supply.

The number of deaths is rising dramatically every day. Due to the hot weather, some people had to arrange for the bodies to be cremated.

This is just a scene outside the customs in Yuzhou, and it is conceivable that the situation in other states is now very serious.

In addition, there has been no rain this year, and there is a drought situation in many places.

Spring sowing has also been affected, and it can be said that the survival rate of crops in various states and regions may be very low by then, which will directly affect the results of this year's autumn harvest.

It is to be expected that more people may die this winter.

But Yuzhou's side is relatively better.

Located in the southern region, there are some natural lakes, and Lin Chuan has built water conservancy and diverted water for irrigation long ago, so it can be said that this is a huge amount of work.

And Uncle Li and the others have been baptized by Lin Chuan's advanced ideas several times, and many problems have been solved.

Relatively speaking, the disaster situation in Yuzhou will be a little lower, and it will not affect the results of this year's autumn harvest, but it can only maintain the normal operation of Yuzhou.

As for supporting other states, it is impossible, and with the current situation becoming more and more tense, the riots in various places will not end anytime soon.

This wasted a lot of crops, and the fall harvest is now a problem in other states.

In addition, last winter, the heavy snowstorm caused many princes to spend a lot of materials to support Yuzhou.

There are also disasters in various places, and a number of materials have also been consumed. Basically, many princes are waiting for this autumn harvest.

Because they're running out of supplies. If they don't get supplements, they themselves can imagine that many people will die by then.

It won't be like this.

It was a great disaster, and no state can say that it had completely survived those months.

In the current situation, many princes and forces from all sides have a headache.

They don't know what to do, they are also in a hurry, and if they don't solve it as soon as possible, it will be a loss for themselves.

Cao Cao's approach also took these into account, and it was mainly based on appeasement.

The main thing is to concentrate the rioters in one area, and not to interfere with other districts.

It is also a good thing to be able to collect a little more food, and when the time comes, I can save a few more people.

The food shortage in the thirteen states is already doomed, and the impact is to minimize it now.

Just don't hurt your roots.

At present, the areas with severe drought are in the north, and the drought situation in the south is relatively good.

The areas where the riots are serious are mainly concentrated in the north, and it can be said that it is really a natural and man-made disaster.

The areas with the most serious riots were Qingzhou and Bingzhou, as well as parts of Youzhou, parts of Yanzhou, parts of Yangzhou, parts of Jizhou, and parts of Liangzhou.

Qingzhou is almost about to fall, because Cao Cao's troops are constantly retreating, there is no way if they don't withdraw, the material reserves can't keep up, it really has to be consumed, and it is estimated that Cao Cao's side will not be able to bear it.

Kong Rong's side only held that area, and with the help of Liu Bei, Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zhan, he temporarily gained a firm foothold.

The rest of Qingzhou can be said to have been fallen by those mobs, burning, killing and looting, which are staged every day on Qingzhou's side.

If Ding Yuan wasn't still holding on, it was estimated that it would have fallen, and this side could be regarded as a relatively serious state.

Local law enforcement was almost demolished by the mob.

The troops in various parts of the state are also slowly collecting the displaced people, which still has a little effect, and the state assassin Shi Ding Yuan is now also organizing troops to actively resist.

Because Bingzhou has always been comfortable before, it is a little uncomfortable to suddenly encounter such a big battle.

It can only be said that he has not been beaten by society.

As for the support, it was probably not, and all the places were held back by those mobs, except for Yuzhou.

There is no manpower to come out to support, the Eastern Han Group, not to mention, they are also dealing with the riots on Si Li's side.

The riot on Si Li's side can be said to be really small, but a group of mountain bandits are doing weird.

They said it was a riot.

That's right, so now all localities can only rely on themselves.

But many princes were actually reluctant to let people from the Eastern Han Dynasty come in to help, because that would save a lot of trouble.

Now that they are doing this, it is also in their interests, and the princes of all walks of life have not said anything.

However, some princes still wanted people from the Eastern Han Dynasty to come in, because they wanted to fish in troubled waters.

For example, here in Qingzhou.

Liu Bei and the others still hope that the Eastern Han Group can send a force over. In this case, the people on Cao Cao's side will be completely contained.

On your own side, you can quickly close the Qingzhou territory. And then you can completely take the entire Qingzhou.

At that time, Cao Cao had no choice but to obediently withdraw from Qingzhou.

As for the people left behind on Cao Cao's side in Qingzhou. If you want to stay here.

Liu Bei also discussed it here. If Cao Cao didn't retreat, then he would completely annihilate his troops here.

Because Liu Bei and others also know.

The situation of civil unrest on Qingzhou's side must be resolved as soon as possible, if not quickly. Problems that will affect the subsequent autumn harvest.

Even autumn harvests don't necessarily lead to good harvests. After all, many places in Qingzhou have not been reclaimed.

Coupled with the drought, it can be said that many places have been deserted. Now there are only some crops, Liu Bei doesn't want them to be gone.

So this time they didn't do it for themselves, but more often they wanted to get through this difficulty.

However, the Eastern Han Group may not send troops over, because when the troops come, they will have enough supplies, and many problems can be solved.

It's a pity they don't come.

The current situation and situation can also be said to be an opportunity for Liu Bei and them, but it is also a crisis.

If Qingzhou is not defeated at this time, then there is really no way to do it later.

But Liu Bei didn't want to take it at this time, it was too risky.

Cao Cao's side should also be thinking about countermeasures, how to quickly solve the trouble in Qingzhou.

On the Yongzhou side, Cao Cao was relatively well solved.

He concentrated all those mobs in one area. Every day they sent someone to appease them.

The rest of the region has not been disturbed in any way, and it is estimated that they will take such measures against Qingzhou.

At present, the shrinking of troops is estimated to have this plan, and Liu Bei and they can also see that Cao Cao does not intend to do a protracted struggle.

Therefore, Cao Cao's side is not expected to start a war with them. Because the loss is too great. They also guessed that it was estimated that Cao Cao would negotiate with them at that time.

Liu Bei also understood at this time that it was a bit unrealistic to fight with Cao Cao to win Qingzhou now.

In fact, Liu Bei was waiting for Cao Cao's side to negotiate with his side, and it would be up to Cao Cao to propose what kind of solution.

Liu Bei actually didn't want to start a war with Cao Cao on the Qingzhou side. The current situation is not suitable for both sides to fight.

The food crisis can now be said to have become a top priority in the thirteen states.

If it is not solved as soon as possible, it is estimated that more people will die by then than at this time.

Liu Bei also believes that all riots are only temporary, and they will soon calm down, although they will not be in this short period of time.

However, Liu Bei believes that there will be a good treatment plan in the future.

Although Liu Bei and others really want to take Qingzhou. But this difficulty may be a bit too high. Not only to face the troops on Cao Cao's side, but also to add these rioting people.

It's very difficult, unless the official sends troops over, it can't be defended.

And if the repression is too harsh, the mobs will resist even more.

However, if you don't provoke them, they will also come and provoke you, so it's a contradiction now.

The princes of various places don't know how to solve it for the time being?

Because now these mobs won't listen to them at all, and give them a feeling that they are dead.

This gave the princes a lot of headaches.

Not only Liu Bei is having a headache here, but the princes everywhere are also having a headache.

They also want to put it to rest quickly. But there is no good solution right now.

They are actually very envious of Yuzhou.

But Yuzhou will cherish the present more after several major catastrophes.

The people of Yuzhou can be said to cherish the present tranquility and hard-won peace, so they will not be easily instigated.

In the eyes of many people, they all think that Lin Chuan is a person who has good governance and cherishes the people.

Right now, they can't do it like Lin Chuan. Therefore, we can only try to minimize the degree of these harms.

The princes of all walks of life will not let this matter last too long. If it continues, there may be even more people dying by then than there are now.

So, once they have exceeded the limit of their patience. The princes everywhere will order a force to suppress it. In order to have fewer deaths in the future, they can only do this.

At this time, Qingzhou Liu Bei and others also received the information of Cao Cao's interview.

At this time, Kong Rong said.

"Then Cao Cao has already sent a message for the interview. Everybody thinks. Should we go to the appointment? Still, take advantage of this time directly to completely take down the entire Qingzhou. ”

Liu Bei said at this time.

"I don't think it's appropriate, now it's just us in the whole Qingzhou. If we take Qingzhou at this time. We may not be able to withstand it. Coupled with the riots in Qingzhou, with our current capabilities, it cannot be solved at all. ”

"I think we still have to talk to Cao Cao, which can be said to be a good thing. That's not necessarily a bad thing for us. It's going to take a lot of stress off our shoulders. ”

"Everyone sees the current situation very clearly. This riot won't last long. Let's take this opportunity to contact Cao Cao's side, maybe we can get more benefits. ”

Gongsun Chan said on the side at this time.

"I think Liu Bei is right, the current situation is a bit complicated. Those mobs. In terms of what we are capable of now. It's tricky to deal with. Joining forces with Cao Cao may not be a good choice. I agree with Liu Bei's opinion. ”

Kong Rong said at this time.

"Do you two think that Cao Cao's side will really give me what we want? Once this matter is over, I believe that Cao Cao will definitely come to the city. We may not be able to stand it then. Wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to completely take down the entire Qingzhou than to be unable to hold it at that time? ”

"The current situation is also an opportunity for us. Let those mobs contain them, and we will quickly take over all parts of Qingzhou. We just have to drive those mobs to their side. He will definitely send troops to suppress them, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be better for us to wait for the opportunity to attack them? ”

Ma Teng also said on the side at this time.

"I also think what Brother Kong said is right. If we go to negotiate with that Cao Cao today. It may not give us the best benefit. Seriously, we're all in the same boat right now, so why not fight it. The opportunity is now in front of us. What do you say guys? It is to take Qingzhou. Or negotiate with Cao Cao. ”

Liu Bei did not speak at this time.

He frowned deeply, the current disagreement was a little big, and he was a little puzzled.

He felt that Kong Rong and Ma Teng were a little inflated. It's up to them to get their men. can't take the whole of Qingzhou at all, and even if you take it, you can't hold it.

Plus mobs all over here. It's just the rhythm of death.

Liu Bei didn't plan to do it with them at this time, he felt. There is something absurd about what they do. Somewhat ridiculous. Such a simple situation is incomprehensible. How to cooperate in the future?

At this time, Gongsun Chan said with a frown next to him.

"In this way, Brother Liu and I will go to negotiate with Cao Cao. You go here and gather your territory in all places. If Cao Cao's side can't give us good benefits. Liu Bei and I took this opportunity to take the entire Qingzhou, how about it. ”

Kong Rong nodded at this time and said.

"Then let's follow this plan for the time being. That's all there is to it. Now that we all have a disagreement, let's do it synchronously, and see who is right and who is wrong in the end. I believe my judgment was correct. This time we won Qingzhou is a good opportunity, and it is also our opportunity, if we miss it like this. I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Let's put it this way. ”

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan retreated at this time.

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Chan and said.

"Can't they see the situation clearly, why don't they understand it at all? Now even if you take the whole of Qingzhou, what can you do. The mob plus that Cao Cao's troops. We can't stop it on our side. ”

"There is also the problem of materials in the back, how to solve this? The reserves on our side are simply not enough, they will not solve any problems, and they will even drag us down. The following autumn harvests in Qingzhou are a problem. I really can't hold Qingzhou. They think too well. There is a shortage of food in various places, and there is no way to buy food on the market. ”

Gongsun Chan sighed at this time and said.

"I know what you think, and I actually think so, but for now, I can only listen to them for the time being. After all, you and I are so weak, let's talk to Cao Cao now. Let's take it one step at a time. How about the back. It's up to them to see what they do with it. ”

Liu Bei could only nod helplessly at this time, and that was the only way.
