Fu Ping's heart suddenly moved, and he said:

"Ping has a plan, I don't know if the general is willing to listen?"

Frustration is very skillful in this sentence,

He first asked Cao Xuan if he was willing to listen,

If Cao Xing is willing to listen,

Then he put what he thought in his heart and put it out,

I have to give some consolation.

But if Cao Xing insists on going his own way,

You have to do what you think,

Then Frustration also took this opportunity to shirk his own involvement,

After all, the main general of this battle is Cao Xing.

Cao Xingzheng was a little complacent about Fang Cai's own inspiration,

At this moment, I heard the words of frustration,

couldn't help but be stunned,

He was born as a military general,

Where can I hear the twists and turns in the words of the depressed flat.

But he knows his own affairs very well,

Although he is a good hand,

But this plan is not his specialty,

So he modestly asked:

"Brown has any opinions, listen to me quickly."

Fu Ping hurriedly spoke:

"The general's plan to consume the enemy with the enemy's military resources is very clever. The plan of the peace is to be perfected on the basis of the general's plan. ”

looked at the interested expression on Cao Xing's face,

Frustrated with peace of mind, he continued to speak:

"This time, our army entered the Zhao State, although it was only to disturb Yuan Shao and force him to give up attacking and annexing the state, but sooner or later there would be a big battle between the lord and Yuan Shao. We can take this opportunity to seek out the Lord so that we can attack the cluster in the future. ”

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”

"The general can recruit soldiers in the three cities, and our army can immediately get thousands of armor soldiers, and this is one of them. I heard that due to the large number of troops used in Jizhou this year, the people are quite embarrassed. There is a lot of grain and grass in Neiqiu City, and we can distribute all the grain and grass that we can't use to the people in the city, and the people will definitely be grateful to our army. After Yuan Shaojun recaptured Neiqiu, if they did not claim the grain and grass back, they would suffer heavy losses, but if they reclaimed, they would lose the hearts of the people. ”

"Hahaha, brilliant plan!"

Cao Xuan laughed when he heard it,

Suddenly thought about it:

"But if our army distributes all the grain and grass, wouldn't it be detrimental to our army to hold on to Neiqiu City?"

Fu Ping hurriedly persuaded:

"General, Neiqiu is just a county town, the lord hopes that we will disrupt the layout of the enemy's army, although holding the cluster can greatly attract the attention of Yuan Shaojun, but at the same time, the danger of our army will also increase greatly, if it is once besieged, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to leave the cluster, and there will be a negative lord to stop."

Cao Xing listened to the analysis of Frustration,

couldn't help frowning,

The frustration is very reasonable,

He thought it was a little simple.

Fu Ping always paid attention to Cao Xing's expression,

After seeing that he was not angry,

Only then did he have the courage to continue:

"And if the general, as he has previously indicated, and fights in motion, he will be able to fulfill the great trust of the lord without danger; Second, we can use this to train these newly recruited soldiers; Third, we can also use the method of grain distribution to buy people's hearts in Jizhou, so as to lay the foundation for the future lord to attack and conquer the cluster. ”

Cao Xingfang heard that Fu Ping refuted his suggestion,

I still feel a little uncomfortable,

But after listening to it all the time,

But he smiled,

Immediately got up and stroked his palm and smiled:

"I thought it was too simplistic before, thank you Brown for pointing out the secret realm, otherwise sex will definitely cause a big disaster."

Fu Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this,

At the same time, I was also a little moved in my heart,

As one of the first old men to follow Lu Bu, Cao Xing

And has the stunt of piercing the Yang in 100 steps,

won him the reputation of "the god of arrows in the state",

The status in the army is very high.

If Cao Xing wants to go his own way,

He really didn't have the slightest choice,

Although he prevaricated in advance,

But that's just a precaution,

If you can get the victory and return triumphantly,

Wouldn't it be more perfect?

Looking at Cao Xing's joy at this time, it is completely out of sincerity,

Unexpectedly, he is a person who is good at taking advice.

Neiqiu City belongs to a large county,

There were more than 40,000 people in all.

This was also a very populous county in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

When the county government posted the list text,

And the soldiers all over the city read:

"Today, the imperial court appointed General Wenhou Lu to send troops to recruit the rebellious Yuan Shao, knowing that the people of Neiqiu were deceived by traitors and their lives were miserable, so Wen Hou ordered to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people's lives. Today, each household can receive three pounds of grain per person per person. ”

As soon as the news came out,

It immediately caused a sensation in the inner hill city,

Lu Bu's name can be known to everyone,

Everyone also knows that it is Lu Bu's army that occupies this county now,

You don't see, there are many at the city gate,

The ruins caused by the siege of the city two days ago.

But what shocked everyone was the opening of the warehouse to distribute the grain,

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion,

Jizhou has also experienced countless wars,

After every war,

The people suffered the most,

Those occupiers are able to restrain their men,

There is no offense against the common people,

It's already very good,

As for opening a warehouse to help the people,

That's unheard of.

Many people think that this is just a method that Lu Bujun came up with in order to recruit strong men.

Therefore, although most people are very moved to hear the news,

But no one dared to receive food.

Cao Xing set the location of the grain distribution at the entrance of the vegetable market.

This is the most prosperous area in the city,

Many of the people in the city are gathered here,

Onlookers from afar,

But no one dared to step forward.

Cao Xuan couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw this situation,

"Brown, you don't think this is the case now. Why don't I force a few people over? ”

"General, never!"

Frustration on the side hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

"But you see that these people are not coming, how can we put the grain, if we can't finish it today, it will inevitably delay the rest of the things......"

"The general doesn't have to worry, and it's up to the humble to settle the matter."

Frustrated and smiled confidently,

Then he stepped forward and took a few steps,

Come to the middle of the field,

Pointing to the mountains of grain and grass piled up on the ground beside him,

said to the people of Neiqiu City in front of him:

"Folks, my name is Fu Ping, I am from Guangping, Jizhou, and now I am working under the Wenhou account. Our policy has just become clear to everyone. I knew that everyone wanted to come and get the food, but they were afraid to come forward because they were worried. In this way, our General Cao is also here, and I have already asked General Cao for instructions. The first villager who came forward to receive grain could receive five stones, the second could receive three stones, and the third could receive two stones. After that, each person will only be able to receive three jun. ”

As soon as the voice fell,

Immediately there was a whispering sound below,

In this day and age,

A soldier's ration for a month is nothing more than three stones and three buckets,

The rations of ordinary people and women and children are much less.

five-stone grain,

At least equivalent to an ordinary family of four,

A month's rations up.

For these ordinary people,

Definitely a huge temptation.

As the saying goes, there will be brave men under the reward,

It didn't take long for

A big man squeezed out of the crowd,

The crowd recognized it at a glance,

This guy is a well-known scoundrel in Neiqiu City,

Mixed name Wang Erlai,

He came to Fuping with some fear,

Shrinking back to Fu Ping, he asked:

"Great, sir, are you serious?"

Frustrated and didn't answer,

smiled at the splash,

Then he stretched out his right hand and waved,

Immediately, a soldier stepped up.

Wang Erlai saw the soldiers coming,

My feet are weak, and I am frightened,

But the soldier led him aside,

There are a few scribes waiting to be counted,

After finding Wang Erlai's name in the household register and checking it correctly,

The soldier led him to the pile of grain.

Another quartermaster weighed five stone grain on the spot,

Zheng in a sack

One stone in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to 59.9 catties today,

Five stones is close to three hundred catties,

Three huge sacks were filled.

Wang Erlai looked at the three big bags of grain in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little confused,

Fu Ping opened his mouth and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Wang Erlai turned around a little blankly and asked:

"Big, big lord, can I take it?"

Frustrated and playfully said:

"It's okay if you don't want to."

As soon as I heard the words of depression,

Wang Erlai's head suddenly shook like a rattle,

The whole person is flat on top of the three hemp bags,

The others saw that Wang Erlai really got the grain,

couldn't help but be stunned in the curtain field,

There are a few people who are alive and well,

Hurriedly rushed to the place of registration,

There are also two places where you can receive more food,

But you must not be preempted by others.

Once someone takes the lead,

The rest of the people immediately rushed up.

Three days later,

Liu Bei led the army to Neiqiu,

But Cao Xing's troops have already left,

Under the inspection,

Liu Bei was surprised to find,

The originally full Neiqiuku Mansion turned out to be clean.

Liu Bei sat in the county office and was furious,

This time, because I came in a hurry,

They didn't carry too much rations,

originally heard Cao Xing's withdrawal from Neiqiu,

He still has some illusions,

Cao Xing will leave him some,

The result was not as expected。。。。。

A thin literati hurried in.

Liu Bei raised his head,

Seeing that the person who came was Jian Yong,

Hurriedly asked:

"Xianhe, have you ever found out?"

Jian Yong bowed and replied:

"The lord has already found out that Cao Xing's troops all shrank to Neiqiu three nights ago, and quietly left Neiqiu two nights ago, and their whereabouts are unknown. Before leaving, they distributed all the grain and grass in the three cities to the people in the city, and at the same time sent thousands more people in the three cities. ”

"Smack!"

A crunch,

Liu Bei slapped his palm heavily on the bookcase,

A look of anger on his face.

"Thieves are too hateful!"

At this moment, there are Sima Fu and Guan Yu in the house.

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly,

Cold Voice:

"This Cao sex is a good method."

Liu Bei's heart moved,

After thinking about it for a while,

is also a reaction,

Angry and laughed:

"It's a lot of fun."

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Sima Fu,

Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked:

"Where has Yuan Zhi been now?"

Sima Fu bowed slightly,

Respectfully replied:

"Brother Yuan and the three generals have secretly begun to deploy defenses, and now they are waiting for the lord to drive the Cao Xing troops into the ambush circle."

Liu Bei's face improved a lot.

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment,

Hurriedly opened his mouth and ordered Jian Yong:

"Xianhe, first write a letter to Yuan Gongxiu and inform him that the enemy army is cunning, but the situation is under my control, please don't worry. In addition, I ask all the counties and counties to defend the city, so as not to cause turmoil, and I will destroy this enemy army within fifteen days. ”

Jian Yong hurriedly wrote down Liu Bei's words quickly,

Once this letter is sent,

It also means that Liu Bei made a military order,

In any case, Cao Xing's troops will be eliminated within 15 days.

This is also after their deliberation before,

The time of the discussion,

If the time is too short, it may cause Yuan Shao's jealousy,

If the time drags on too long,

It is likely to make Yuan Shao despise Liu Bei,

is not conducive to Liu Bei's future development,

Therefore, this is a more modest and safe time.

Liu Bei then turned his head and instructed Guan Yu:

"Cloud Chief!"

"Big brother!"

"Yun Chang led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to detour through the Bairen, enter Julu County, borrow Longyao City, and inquire about the news along the road, if they encounter an enemy, they will be destroyed, and if they encounter the main force of the enemy, they will quickly report to me."

"Whoa!"

After Guan Yu got the order,

and without delay,

Quickly walked towards the outside of the tent.

"Shuda, immediately collect grain and grass in the city, at least enough for our army to use twenty."

Sima Fu asked puzzled:

"My lord, Lu Bujun's distribution of grain and herbs is to buy people's hearts, if our army collects it at this time, I am afraid that it will immediately cause strong dissatisfaction among the people."

Liu Bei rubbed his chin,

With a treacherous smile on his face, he said:

"This is Yuan Gong's order."

Sima Fu raised his eyebrows,

immediately understood what Liu Bei meant,

Although now he has taken refuge in Yuan Shao,

But Liu Bei has his own ambitions,

Now that Lu Bujun has come up with this method,

Destroy Yuan Shao's reputation in this Neiqiu city,

Then Liu Bei pushed the boat down the river,

Do things a little more thoroughly,

Who can guarantee that this will not be Liu Bei's territory in the future?

Sima Fu clenched his fists slightly,

He bowed and turned to leave.

After Sima Fu left,

In the large vestibule,

Only Liu Bei and Jian Yong are left,

Guarding the gate was a young general,

is named Chen Dao, and he is a member of Liu Bei's newly subdued generals.

He is very loyal,

Won Liu Bei's trust.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Xianhe, something happened to you before? What's going on? ”

Jian Yong naturally understood the meaning of Liu Bei's side,

He replied:

"Two days ago, I received news that the Mi family's caravan was seized when it was passing through Jizhou. After several parties, the matter was finally suppressed. ”

Liu Bei's face sank,

He whispered:

"Why are you so disheartened?"

Jian Yong smiled bitterly:

"It's not unintentional, it's a bit of a coincidence. When the caravan passed through Zhangwu, it encountered horse bandits, and the strength of the caravan was not bad, and it could drive these horse bandits away, but it didn't want to coincide with the Zhangwu County Lieutenant coming to suppress the bandits, so he showed his feet. Fortunately, the Mi family and the shopkeeper Su have a wide range of contacts, and with the joint efforts of both parties, the matter was quickly suppressed. However, Shopkeeper Su was afraid of what happened, so he informed me. ”

Liu Bei nodded lightly,

There was a look of deep doubt on his face.
