The so-called three armies have not moved, and grain and grass go first, which shows the importance of grain and grass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fighting a war is not an easy thing, let alone a youth tour, if you can't even eat enough, and your stomach can't be filled, why should you die for you as a soldier? For the sake of national justice? I'm sorry, but there are few soldiers at this time who know what the righteousness of the country is, and being a soldier is purely for the sake of making ends meet. If you can fill their stomachs, they will be willing to work for you, but if you can't?

That's pretty sorry...

At present, Yanzhou is such a situation, locust plagues are everywhere, and there is no harvest.

Whether it was for Cao Cao or Lu Bu, this was a very bad situation. In comparison, Cao Cao's situation is a little better, at least he occupies a big city like Puyang. The official treasury in the city was not rich, at least it was enough for Cao Cao. What's more, apart from the official treasury, which of those families in the city is not full of granaries? Picking a few random ones is enough for Cao Cao to use.

On the other hand, Lu Bu's situation is a little grim...

The loss of Puyang has greatly reduced his legitimacy to Yanzhou, at least the Yanzhou families who originally supported him are now silent.

After all, no matter how you look at it, after the loss of Puyang, Lu Bu's chances of winning have decreased a lot, these families are very smart, and few will be willing to stand on the side of the loser. What's more, compared to Cao Cao, no matter how you look at it, Lu Bu is just an outsider, and he was not very enthusiastic about supporting Lu Bu against Cao Cao, and now he is not even interested in it.

Obviously, it was unlikely that they would take out grain from their granaries to support Lu Bu, even if they borrowed it.

It is also because of this that although Cao Cao knows very well how powerful Lu Bu is, he still has a little contempt in his heart.

For Cao Cao, Lu Bu is the opponent he just defeated, a defeated general, what is there to fear?

Not only Cao Cao, but even the civil and military forces under his account also think so, those generals are fine, but for the strategists under Cao Cao's account, Lu Bu really has nothing to fear, and he is just a more powerful horseman...

What they didn't expect was that it was precisely this kind of thinking that made them suffer a big loss when facing Lu Bu...

Chen Gong first designed to show weakness, and then took advantage of Cao Cao's rival psychology to set up an ambush for Cao Cao. Although it was not as dangerous as the Battle of Puyang, and even his own life was almost lost, the advantage that he had built up with great difficulty was lost because of this, which also made the families in Yanzhou who were originally in a wait-and-see attitude choose a neutral posture again.

In any case, for Cao Cao, this battle was more than worth the loss. And not just military defeats, but also other aspects.

Especially for the family in Yanzhou, they didn't like Cao Cao who killed Bian Rang very much, but they swallowed their anger because of Cao Cao's strength, and now that Cao Cao has failed miserably, they naturally have no reason to support Cao Cao.

And because of this, the situation in Yanzhou has returned to a situation of being divided into two.

Although Cao Cao still has the upper hand, it is no longer as big as when he first captured Puyang...

In addition to the competition between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, a series of changes have also occurred in various other regions, each of which has produced various changes to the situation in the entire world. Yan Shao is even more in order to let himself know the situation in the world as quickly as possible, and secretly sends people to lurk in various places, so that he can learn about everything as quickly as possible after what happens. Other people who learned about this era did not know the importance of intelligence, but Yan Shao did know that sometimes, even if he was only a small step ahead of others to know the information, he might gain a great advantage.

It's a pity that due to the transportation and communication methods of this era, even if Yan Shao does this, it can only be said that he is one step ahead of others. What's more, apart from Yan Shao, who dares to guarantee that no one else will do the same? At least Yan Shao didn't think that those strategists and unpredictable prophets one by one were really because they were powerful. Maybe it's because they have similar intelligence agencies in their hands that they can do it to such an extent.

However, what Yan Shao didn't expect was that after he did this, the first information that those who spread out sent back to him was Liu Yu's death...

Maybe for many people, the name Liu Yu is a little unfamiliar, at least in many people's cognition, there is no such person in the late Han Dynasty, and it is natural that there will be such a cognition. Because people's understanding of the Three Kingdoms is mostly based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and among the major events that mainly occur in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is basically no shadow of this Liu Yu.

For example, during the Rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, among the so-called heroes convened by the great general He Jin, for example, among the princes of the Eighth Route Princes, there was almost no Liu Yu. But if he is said to be an insignificant little person, then it may not be, at least as a Youzhou pastor, no matter from which point of view, Liu Yu is definitely not a small person who can be compared.

Liu Yu, the word Bo'an. He is a native of the East China Sea in Qingzhou, a true ancestor of the Han family, and a descendant of Liu Qiang, the son of Liu Xiu, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Before becoming Youzhou Mu, he used to be the history of Youzhou Thorn, the minister of Ganling and Zongzheng. He has made outstanding achievements in local politics and is quite famous. Especially when he was doing the history of Youzhou Thorn, Liu Yu was very benevolent, lenient and benevolent for the government, won the hearts of the people, and advocated treating the local Hu people with a gentle policy. also admired Liu Yu very much because of his attitude. During Liu Yu's reign in Youzhou, he almost never plundered Youzhou, which also has a great relationship with Liu Yu's own charm.

It was only later that he was dismissed from his post because of official business, and later the Wuhuan Rebellion broke out, and the imperial court appointed him again as the pastor of Youzhou because of his high prestige among the Saiwaihu people. And also sent the head of Zhang Chun, the head of the Wuhuan Rebellion at that time, to Luoyang, and the Han Territory also promoted Liu Yu to the rank of lieutenant because of this plan, but Liu Yu kept resigning, and also recommended Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Weiwei Zhao Mo, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan and others to serve in this position, but in the end Liu Yu still became a captain.

At that time, all the officials who worshiped the three princes needed to go to the West Garden to pay a huge amount of gift money, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty deliberately exempted these gift money because he was incorruptible.

After becoming the pastor of Youzhou, Liu Yu pursued leniency, persuaded the people to farm, and opened up trade with the Hu people, so that the local people lived and worked in peace and contentment. made Youzhou, which was originally a poor state, gradually become a paradise. No matter from which point of view, Liu Yu is the real controller of Youzhou, not Gongsun Zhan.

It's just that Gongsun Chan once participated in the alliance of the princes of the Eighth Road, and he used to be in tat-for-tat confrontation with Yuan Shao, so many people think that there is only one Gongsun Chan in Youzhou without knowing Liu Yu, and they don't know that there is actually another Liu Yu here. But I don't know that even Yuan Shao once considered using Liu Yu to replace the emperor who was praised by Dong Zhuo, and if this thing is really done, maybe the Han Dynasty will last for a few more years.

After all, unlike the Emperor Xian, who didn't even have any rights in his hands, Liu Yu had strong enough strength. Although his Youzhou is equal to Gongsun Zhan, it is he who is loved by the people of Youzhou, in addition to the Hu people outside the Saiwai, as long as Liu Yu needs it, he can also be summoned at any time, all this is a kind of strength.

In addition, there are still some princes loyal to the Han family at this time, and they may not be able to succeed, at least Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may not dare to treat Liu Yu as a puppet.

Pity...

He's dead...

There should be people like Liu Yu coming to Youzhou, and everyone in Youzhou should be very welcome and even happy, but unfortunately there is one exception.

This person is Gongsun Zhan.

Liu Yu is considered to be Gongsun Zhan's boss, but Gongsun Zhan is indeed a rebellious person, and his name as a white horse general is to kill Hu people, and he has always been accustomed to using tough means to treat Hu people, if he is not willing to obey, he will kill him. Of course, if his tough methods are only against the Hu people, it will be forgotten, but his methods are not only tough on the Hu people, but also against the people under his rule, you can imagine how Liu Yu, who is known for his benevolence, can see how he can get used to it?

The contradictions between each other have always been very big, and Liu Yu often restricts Gongsun Zhan's behavior, and reprimands him from time to time.

And Gongsun Chan? If it was still the time when the Han family was stable, it might not be anything, and it would be patient, but now that the Han family itself is in turmoil and has no time to take care of itself, how can Liu Yu be taken into account? In the end, the contradictions almost reached the point where they could not be alleviated.

If that's all there is, maybe it's nothing.

After all, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are such an opponent, it is not so easy to solve, if possible, he is not willing to fight with Yuan Shao at the same time, and Liu Yu can't get along, even if he is reckless, it is impossible to do so, but the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan is getting deeper and deeper...

It is also for this reason that after several considerations, Liu Yu decided to unite with Yuan Shao and crusade against Gongsun Zan together.

Theoretically speaking, Liu Yu had plenty of soldiers and horses at that time, and no matter how powerful Gongsun Chan was, he could not be Liu Yu's opponent, not to mention that there was also a Yuan Shao?

It's a pity that Liu Yu sent troops in a very hasty manner, and did not send troops with Yuan Shao, plus Liu Yu is benevolent and virtuous in the world, but it is too pedantic, if it is in the prosperous era, it is good to say, but this is a troubled era, how can he be Gongsun Zhan's opponent. Without waiting for Yuan Shao next to him to react, Liu Yu's soldiers and horses were defeated by Gongsun Zhan, and even Liu Yu himself was captured alive by Gongsun Zhan.

Zhan was exposed to the city and wished: "If it should be the Son of Heaven, the sky should rain to save him." "When it was in the middle of the summer, it didn't rain, so I killed Yu...

And after getting the entire Youzhou, at least on the surface, Gongsun Zhan's power is already a few points inferior to Yuan Shao...

If only on the surface...

Looking at the city behind him that had been occupied by Gongsun Zhan, he gritted his teeth with little to die. The armor on his body is broken everywhere, and there are even blood stains flowing out in some places, these are all left over from the bloody battle not long ago, but it is a pity that no matter what kind of bloody battle, it cannot be reversed, Ju Yong was still broken by Gongsun Chan within three days, and even Liu Yu himself fell into the hands of Gongsun Chan because of this.

"It's hateful that Gongsun Zhan, this thief, actually killed Lord Liu, and we must avenge Lord Liu."

"That's what I said, but now Youzhou is Gongsun Zhan's, and we don't have many soldiers and horses in our hands, if we can avenge Lord Liu..." When the city was broken, because he followed Xian Yufu and others, he was lucky to get out.

Hearing Xian Yuyin's words, Xian Yufu suddenly hesitated.

Indeed, if you want to take revenge, you need to have soldiers and horses, originally they didn't have no soldiers and horses in their hands, Xian Yuyin is a cavalry captain, and has enough military power. It's a pity that when the city was broken, they barely managed to get themselves out, and there weren't too many soldiers and horses around them except for a few cronies. Now most of Youzhou is occupied by Gongsun Zhan, even if they want to recruit Liu Yu's old department, the comparison in strength is too disparity.

Thinking of this, both of them were a little frustrated.

At this moment, I heard someone next to me speak. "Otherwise, Liu Da had a lot of favors to Xianbei, Wuhuan and other foreign clans during his lifetime, and we can go to the outside of the Saiwai to recruit soldiers and horses to avenge them." This time it was Liu Yu's other old department that spoke, Qi Zhou. This person is engaged in Liu Yu, who was originally a literati, but this time he rushed out with Xian Yufu and others.

"Xianbei, Wuhuan..."Hearing these two words, Xian Yufu hesitated a little.

To be reasonable, although the relationship between the two sides has been greatly eased because of Liu Yu's policies over the years, during the period when Liu Yu served as the pastor of Youzhou, the foreign tribes did not invade south. But Xian Yufu has not relaxed his vigilance against foreign races, although Gongsun Chan is indeed a little cruel and unkind, but some things are still very correct. That is, foreigners are not credible, don't look at these Hu people now because Liu Yu is there, so they do not harass the border. But who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe after Liu Yu leaves, they will return to their true nature?

What's more, the reason why those foreigners have not made bad moves now is simply because the situation near Youzhou has been relatively good in the past two years, there have been no natural disasters, and the lives of these Hu people are also good, but if there is any problem outside the Saiwai, who knows if they will choose to go south to find a way out? If that were the case, wouldn't it be another trouble?

The most terrible thing is that if they are really introduced into Youzhou this time, who knows if it will lead the wolf into the house?

"Besides, if you want to avenge Lord Liu, is there any other way..."Qi Zhou was also very aware of Xian Yufu's concerns, but unfortunately, there was not so much time for them to think about it now.

"It's just the three of us, I'm afraid there is no way to make those Hu people obey..."This is another concern, don't look at them as Liu Yu's old department, in fact, those Hu people only listen to Liu Yu, as for other idle people, they are really going to lose, the first problem is how to make those Hu people listen to them.

Fortunately, Qi Zhou also has a solution to this. "I don't know if you've heard of Yan Rou?"

"Yan Rou?"

Hearing this name, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin glanced at each other.

This name is not unfamiliar to them, it should be said that the name Yan Rou is also a thunderous one in Youzhou, Yan Rou was originally just an ordinary teenager, and later after being plundered by the Hu people, he gained the trust of the other party, and even helped him kill the original Wuhuan captain, so that Yan Rou could replace this person.

It can be said that among the Hu people, Yan Rou is very prestigious.

"If we can get this person's help, then it will be easy to get the support of those Hu people, not to mention that we are avenging Lord Liu this time, and we are going to fight Gongsun Zhan, is it possible that those Hu people will still help Gongsun Zhan?" Qi Zhou is quite confident in this, after all, Gongsun Chan has a deep hatred with the Hu people, even if those Hu people are no matter how good they are, they will not choose to help Gongsun Zhan, for this, Qi Zhou has a considerable degree of confidence.

Here, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin glanced at each other, and felt that this was indeed the case.

No matter how you think about it, it is unlikely that Gongsun Chan will unite with the Hu people.

However, after a while, the three of them had already decided to go to Yan Rou first and ask him for consul, and in addition, everyone had to go to all parts of Youzhou to find Liu Yu's old department first. Don't look at most of Liu Yu's soldiers and horses were lost in the process of fighting Gongsun Zhan, in fact, there are still a considerable number scattered all over Youzhou, as long as these soldiers and horses can be gathered, I dare not say that there are more, there are still thousands of people.

The most important thing is that there is also a need for troops to join forces with those Hu people, don't look at them under the banner of avenging Liu Yu, but the few people present know it very well. If you unite with those Hu people, if you don't have some strength in your hands, you may be eaten and there won't be even a bone left.

At the same time, after learning what happened to Liu Yu, Yan Shao was a little emotional.

"Liu Yu is dead, and there is one less good person in this world..."

However, he is not strange at all about Liu Yu's defeat, after all, how can such a pedantic person not lose?

Even Liu Bei, who is also known for his benevolence, is probably not so pedantic...
