Jia Xu followed several people, and the princes who watched it were countless.

Including those emperors in the history books.

In fact, most of them have one thing in common.

But in Zhao Hui, Jia Xu didn't see the suspicious, brutal, shameless, self-efficiency and so on in other princes.

The Zhao Hui he saw was a person who really cared about the people.

Jia Xu really wanted to see if one day, when Zhao Hui ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

Zhao Hui will still be as dedicated to the people as he is now, or will he change, and he will become like those emperors in the history books because of that position.

If it becomes, Jia Xu will protect himself in Mingzhe at most and be a transparent person.

If it doesn't change, he wants to see what changes will happen to the Han people and what kind of life the people of the Han will have under Zhao Hui's governance.

"Food still has to be given, what can you do to reduce the risk." Zhao Hui said.

"My lord, in that case, why don't you just recruit these people and ask them to transport grain and grass." Guo Jiadao.

Starting from Yanzhou, all the grain and grass along the way were handed over to the people of Yanzhou.

The people recruited by Jizhou returned directly.

Every time they arrived in a city, the people of that city carried grain and grass to the next city.

Meals are provided on the road, and some subsidies are being given.

These people, because all the people in the city have left, they have nothing to do.

Let them transport grain and grass, not only to eat, but also to get money, and no one will disagree.

"Wenhe, how about Fengxiao's method, it should be able to save a lot of grain and grass." Zhao Hui said.

Jia Xu said: "If these people are strong, there will be no problem. ”

After a pause, he continued: "But most of the people who remain in the city now are old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they transport grain and grass, those bags of grain, these old and weak people can't move at all. ”

This is a big pit that Cao Cao deliberately left for Zhao Hui.

It depends on whether Zhao Hui wants to fill it in.

Jia Xu saw through Zhao Hui's character, and Xun Yu and others under Cao Cao also analyzed Zhao Hui's character based on Zhao Hui's deeds.

The old, weak, sick and disabled were already unable to move, and the time for the counties to retreat was also very short, so they naturally abandoned them first.

Even if Zhao Hui wanted to forcibly recruit these people into the army, he had to think about it.

In Jia Xu's eyes, these people are not even qualified as people, and if they are mixed into the army, not only will they not increase their combat strength, but they will seriously affect the order of the team.

If they were really sturdy people, Cao Cao would not leave them to Zhao Hui.

Even if Zhao Hui kidnapped them and sent them to Jizhou, it would be a loss for Cao Cao.

Yanzhou's population is already small.

For these people, who are old, weak, sick and disabled, Jia Xu still insists on letting them go.

Even if they don't care about them, others can't say that Zhao Hui is not.

This is Yanzhou, and it was Cao Cao who forced these people to death in order to deal with Zhao Hui.

It has nothing to do with Zhao Hui.

"Lord, these people were deliberately left behind by Cao Cao." Jia Xu said.

"I know, but that doesn't mean we have to give up on them, although most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but there are also some young and strong men." Zhao Hui said.

"In addition, let people go to Xuzhou and borrow some grain and grass from Lu Bu."

"So you can rest assured."

Guo Jia pondered for a while and said, "If Lu Bu is willing, the food problem can indeed be solved." ”

"But Lu Bu may not necessarily agree."

Jia Xu and Lu Bu had worked together under Dong Zhuo's account, and Jia Xu knew Lu Bu's temperament.

Even though today's Lu Bu seems to have changed from before, Lu Bu is still a tiger after all.

Even if Zhao Hui helped Lu Bu a lot, he couldn't ensure that Lu Bu must be of the same mind as Zhao Hui.

"Our food has been sent out, what if Lu Bu doesn't agree to send the grain over?"

Now it is a matter of food and grass for the 150,000-strong army, not tens of thousands, nor thousands of people.

The larger the number of people, the smaller the problem, and its impact on the army, can also become very large.

If there are only a few hundred people, they can even give all the food and grass to the people, and they can bring three days' rations themselves.

Hundreds of people casually went to the mountains and forests to find something to eat, and they would not starve to death.

But an army of more than 100,000 people, even if a mountain is burned, the carcasses of those roasted beasts are not enough for so many people to eat.

"We can't pin our hopes on Lu Bu."

Regardless of the relationship between Zhao Hui and Lu Bu, Jia Xu was always reluctant to trust Lu Bu.

No matter what reason Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo in the first place, in Jia Xu's heart, people like Lu Bu can only be used, not trusted.

"Unless Lu Bu's grain and grass have been sent here, I still don't agree to distribute the grain to the people in the city."

It is a good thing for Zhao Hui to treat the people well, but it should be placed later, after the unification of the world.

And not now.

Zhao Hui wants to come step by step, and wants to protect the current people as much as possible.

But in Jia Xu's opinion, Zhao Hui might as well be the first to squeeze the people, and after sweeping the world, he should govern the world well.

The sooner the melee between the princes is ended, the people of the world will be able to enjoy peace as soon as possible.

But according to Jia Xu's plan, it is estimated that half of the existing people of the Han Dynasty will die.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hui has always been slowly drawing.

He was not only giving himself time, but also giving time to other princes such as Cao Cao.

Because there was enough time, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others, as well as Yuan Shao before, did not carry out compulsory conscription.

Otherwise, there would have been more people killed in battle now.

Zhao Hui recruited more soldiers, increased taxes, and became stronger.

But the pressure on Cao Cao and other princes will also be greater, and they will also desperately increase the number of soldiers.

Until they felt that they could fight against Zhao Hui.

If there are too many troops, the people can't afford it, and the war will be more ordinary, and the war will be constantly used to consume the lives of the soldiers and reduce the cost of the army.

The victory and defeat can be divided more quickly, and after the people have finished beating the food and money, they can only disarm and surrender to the other side.

But the number of people killed in battle will multiply.

At this scale, in the first battle of Guandu, the total number of soldiers killed and wounded on both sides exceeded 100,000.

If the armies of both sides were to be expanded again, more than 300,000 people might have died in this battle.

In a year, millions of people die on the battlefield, more families are broken, and more women and children die.

Zhao Hui and Jia Xu can't say who is right and who is wrong.

It's just that Zhao Hui cares about the current people, and Jia Xu hopes to be unified as soon as possible, so that the people who survive can enjoy a peaceful life.

Zhao Hui took a step back and said: "The people of Puyang will solve it first, and immediately send someone to Xuzhou to borrow grain from Lu Bu, if Lu Bu does not agree, and if I meet these people later, I will no longer help them." ”

Although Jia Xu didn't believe Lu Bu, Zhao Hui thought in his heart that Lu Bu would definitely lend him grain.
