Yanzhou. 3

"Not bad, not bad, great idea!" A pale young man with a crown sat down, smiling all over his mouth, looking like he was overly wine-colored, only his eyes were deep and bright, which made people forget to see the vulgar, and he pinched a letter in his slender fingers, and he couldn't stop praising it.

Sitting opposite the young man was Yanzhou Mu, Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, and it was Cao Cao and his Yingchuan staff who gathered together at this time. Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fengxiao, this idea is good, but it is not ours." ”

This young man is Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, a native of Yingchuan Yangzhai, who has been appointed by Cao Cao to engage in sacrificial wine. Guo Jia has no other hobbies, that is, he is lustful and good at drinking, he looks like a prodigal child, and he goes to Hutianhu whenever he has time, but he is only twenty years old, but his body is very empty. When Xun Yu recommended him to Cao Cao, he was afraid that Cao Cao would not like him, but these two were Wang Ba's pair of mung beans, and they looked at each other. The prodigal Guo Jia finally has to restrain himself, because he is busy.

"What does the lord think?" Guo Jia raised his head, looked at Cao Cao and smiled.

Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "Originally, I also liked to laugh, Uncle Zhang Zhi came to vote for me from afar, and there was no major crime, why should I send him the head with a word?" This must be far from being able to tolerate human ears, so you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

"I'm afraid it's Yuan Shao's temptation, Gongsun Yue died in Yangcheng, at this moment Gongsun Chan must have raised troops to avenge his brother, Yuan Shao is worried that the lord and him can't cooperate, so he has this move." Xun You frowned and said.

"It's okay, the lord will go as he wants, if you say that you can resist Liu Bei Gong Sun Zhan, you have to Yuan Shao." Guo Jia laughed, stretched his legs, and complained: "Lord, I still have to get a few chairs here, and I am not used to sitting on the ground." ”

Cao Cao laughed, and immediately asked people to move a few chairs: "Sitting on a chair is indeed more comfortable than sitting on the ground, if it weren't for Zhongde (Cheng Yuzi) severe, I would also like to sit on a chair." As he spoke, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu with a smile.

Cheng Yu smiled slightly: "The lord said that he was laughing, in fact, Yu also likes to sit on the chair, but he is not as straightforward as Feng Xiao." 3”

The crowd laughed, got off the floor, and sat down in their chairs. Cao Cao stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves are raging, the next step in this is here, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

"Lord, if you want to take it, you must give it first. And what's the harm in letting him occupy this Qingzhou, just wait for the lord to have full wings and take it back. Guo Jia smiled, reached out and poured himself a glass of wine, and reached out to pour a glass for Cao Cao. Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, it was only Feng Xiaocai who was so casual, and only the lord could tolerate him so wanton.

"Hmm." Cao Cao hummed in a low voice, but his voice suddenly became a little depressed, "Right now, the yellow turban thieves are raging, and the grain and grass in various states and counties are insufficient, which is very worrying, do you have a good plan?" ”

In a word, everyone's laughter stopped, it was Guo Jia, who also put away his cynical smiling face, and looked at Xun Yu with his eyes, governing the place is not his strong point.

"My lord, since the first year of Zhongping, Yanzhou has been in war for many years, and there is no one in ten households, and the countryside is largely barren. If you talk about storing grain, you can only borrow it from a wealthy family, otherwise the shortage of food will be unavoidable in a short period of time. Xun Yu thought about it and said loudly.

"If it's long, what about it?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he looked at Xun Yu.

"The families fled from all over the country and were merged into the Yellow Turban Thieves, who only plundered and did not produce, which made the land more and more barren. If it is a long-term plan, it is better to take these yellow turban thieves into their own hands, choose their elite and strong as soldiers, and second-class the old and weak as their company, and concentrate on the fields to open up wasteland, so that within three or two years, there will be no shortage of food. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Compile the people into military households, and concentrate on tuntian to open up wasteland? Good, good, good! If this method is written, it can be a table for eternity, so that our army will no longer have to worry about the future. ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The lord praised it falsely, this is not the method that Yu came up with, it is the method practiced by Liu Bei's father and son in Bingzhou." As Cao Cao's chief of staff, Xun Yu always took over the intelligence from all over the world, and compared to others' technical professions, Xun Yu was fully exposed to rectification, and his knowledge was broader, and he was able to find out some important information hidden in it better than others.

"Liu Bei?" Cao Cao was surprised, and everyone in the hall frowned slightly, looked at each other and pondered. Cao Cao asked, "If you know, who came up with this method?" Under Liu Bei's account, there is such a master!" When he spoke, he was envious, talents, after all, there would not be too much by his side.

"It's said they've been doing this all along, but I haven't heard of anyone who came up with it." Xun Yu said with some regret, "When Liu Bei led the Zhongshan Minister, Liu Feng once recruited several bandits to help him kill Zhang Chun, and these bandits were later organized as Zhongshan military households. ”

Cao Cao gasped and said, "You can instruct spies from all over the country to collect and analyze more information about the state." ”

Boundary Bridge.

Ma Yan sat down dejectedly, looked at the afterglow of the sunset, breathed a long sigh of relief, and repelled another attack by Gongsun Zhan. However, the brothers who defended the city were almost dead, and the reinforcements, his mother's reinforcements were still far away, and whether they could hold this place tomorrow, Ma Yan was not sure.

"General, there are 1,320 of the brethren who can wield bows." The commander of the pro-soldier hurriedly ran over, did not salute, and reported to Ma Yan.

"Go, order the cow to be killed, kill the cow all the damn , and have a good meal tonight!" Mayan didn't seem to have any idea about the number, as if it was really just a pure number, and he bowed his head and commanded the pro-soldier commander.

The pro-soldier commander's eyes lit up, and he took the order with a smile: Damn, if it is in normal times, beef is not something that ordinary people can eat, and if you don't do it, you have to kill your head!

I staggered to my feet, and I didn't expect to sit for a while, and my legs were a little numb! A personal soldier came over and wanted to hug him, but Ma Yan waved his hand to drive him away, straightened his chest and relaxed his muscles, and strode down the city.

"Woo-woo-woo———"

The long military horn sounded, Ma Yan's body stiffened, the whites of his eyes rolled, and he let out a long breath, thief God! The war knife slashed at the ground at will, three inches into the ground, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun and inserting it on the ground, signaling his soldiers to find some water for themselves. The pro-soldier was too busy to run away, Ma Yan twisted his somewhat stiff neck, turned back to the trumpet and scolded: "Damn, you are urging ghosts, Lao Tzu is not dead!"

The one who played the trumpet was unconscious, and continued to blow the trumpet for two short and one long, and the city wall trembled gently. The rest of the soldiers slowly stood up, forgetting that the black pressure under the city was crowded with the enemy army, and they didn't know what they were thinking about one by one.

The soldier ran back tremblingly and handed Ma Yan a bag of tripe water, Ma Yan took it with one hand, raised his foot and kicked him in the ass: "What are you doing, send water to the brothers!" Go, you all go!" With a wave of his hand, he sent his own soldiers away one by one, unscrewed the stopper, and poured a mouthful of beauty, damn, there is still a smell of sheep!

"General, leave me a mouthful, I'm dying of thirst!" A loud voice screamed, and the fire burned like a fire.

Wiping his mouth and stuffing the plug back, Ma Yan glared at the man: "Damn, you kid only deserves to drink horse urine!" The black lamb's belly water bag was thrown away from the distance, and a beautiful arc was crossed in the air, shining with golden light.

Under the city, the shouts of killing suddenly sounded.

Jinyang.

"My lord, after all, our army still has an alliance with Yuan Shao, and it is not appropriate to start a war suddenly. Moreover, we don't know what the situation of the battle is on Gongsun Boqi's side, and he has not sent an envoy to ask for help, so in my opinion, we should wait and see what happens. Tian Feng was still the first to speak, cold and hard.

Liu Bei glanced at his son and said with some hesitation: "Even if our army does not move, Yuan Shao will not rest assured of me, I am afraid that he will strike first, and at that time, our army will fall into passivity." ”

"It's okay!" Tian Feng was unmoved, "Gongsun Boqi has a reputation for being good at fighting, and his soldiers are all elite in a hundred battles, while Yuan Shao's troops are negligent in training and have no will to fight. ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and stood up with a headache: "Chengze, what do you think?" ”

"You can do what Mr. wants." Liu Feng also had no extra thoughts, although he was a little hesitant. At present, the annexation of states is just an empty shelf, and the military resources are seriously insufficient, and they cannot afford to fight at all. However, if he is Cao Cao, I am afraid that he will take this opportunity to attack in a big way, in history, Cao Cao's army has cut off food and has to fight hard, and even uses the extreme means of "human breast" to drag down the opponent.

Liu Bei glanced at him a little strangely, nodded, and asked Zhong Xuan, "Yuan Chang, how is the military resources I ordered you to prepare?" ”

Zhong Miao was embarrassed, bowed to Liu Bei, and said, "Miao is incompetent, tired lord is disappointed!"

"Huh?" Liu Bei was a little strange, how could Zhong Miao not be able to do something like this? Stretched out his hand to help Zhong Xuan up, and said strangely: "Yuan Chang doesn't have to be like this, you have other plans, how much have you prepared now?" ”

"Lord, this matter is not to blame Yuan Chang, it is Feng Yili who presides, so far, only a thousand fine horses have been prepared, and they are needed for three months." Tian Feng took a few steps forward, bowed down in the same column as Zhong Xuan, and bowed to Liu Bei to plead guilty.

Zhong Miao smiled bitterly, this, there is something to fight about, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Bei smiled and helped the two up: "You don't have to fight, the matter has come to this point, you can order all places to strictly guard the passes, send more spies, and if it is the movement of Yuan Jun, report it immediately." ”

Tian Feng and Zhong Miao were greatly moved, and bowed down to worship: "Thank you for not sinning!"

Liu Feng didn't know what the two of them had done, for a while, he had been busy working outside, thinking about some open source things, and he had done a lot, but he couldn't get results in a short period of time.

After the meeting was over, everyone retreated, leaving only Zhao Yun still behind Liu Bei. Liu Feng saw that his father had the intention of stopping himself, so he stayed behind.

"Feng'er, I heard that you rarely get up early lately, and sometimes you send your maids away during the day, but is this the case?" Seeing that everyone went down, Liu Bei asked, and in the corner of his eyes, there was a smile that seemed to be nothing, and he was a little helpless: after all, he was still a child.

"Huh?" Liu Feng's face turned red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, which one is too tongued, and this matter has also spread to his father!
