Chapter 474: Locust Plague

This is the end of a review turmoil, if it weren't for the fact that everyone obviously didn't believe his Lu Bu's random comments, Lu Bu might still be able to give a few reviews. Facing Lu Bu's seemingly complimentary comments, Bian could only reluctantly smile and thank Lu Bu for his kindness.

After inspecting Cao Cao's family members, Lu Bu didn't have any other thoughts. Among Cao Cao's women, Lu Bu was only interested in Mrs. Ding, the Bian family, and the Huan family.

After comforting these female dependents, Lu Bu left Cao's mansion. Before leaving, he asked people to guard this Cao Mansion well, so that these people in the Cao Mansion could not be affected by the rebellious soldiers.

This is not to say that Lu Bu is particularly benevolent and righteous, but this is the thought of the times. In history, Liu Bei's family let Lu Bu be captured, and Lu Bu did not bully each other, but treated each other well. At this time, the troubled times have just begun, and it is not the time to act recklessly.

As early as after Lu Bu dealt with those rebellious soldiers, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao sent people to come, and instead of seeking justice for their respective subordinates, they supported Lu Bu's approach. Especially Zhang Miao, he is even more ashamed. He should have thought of protecting Cao Cao's family first, but he never thought of being ineffective, but instead let his soldiers go to harm Cao's mansion.

Even though he betrayed Cao Cao, before Cao Cao left, he entrusted the family to him! If Cao Cao's family members really have any damage, then Zhang Miao, an elder from all over the world, and Yanzhou celebrities will not have the face to meet people! Therefore, Zhang Miao was very grateful to Lu Bu for thinking about him, and also ordered that he must be extremely kind to the Cao Mansion's family, and send soldiers to guard the Cao Mansion and prohibit anyone from entering to make trouble.

Only Sun Ce came to ask for an explanation. These soldiers are still his father's old department, and the old generals under his account, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, have always been extremely protective. They did not defend these soldiers who had broken the law, but they were not convinced that Lu Bu would dispose of their subordinates.

It's just that even if they are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do! Lu Bu is still their nominal alliance leader, and besides, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong are on Lu Bu's side, what else can they do? As for some small dirty incidents that occurred on all sides after the capture of Juancheng, and some small friction incidents that occurred below are also normal. But soon, such a thing made a sudden news suppressed.

On the second day of the fall of Juancheng, there was news that Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong to be the vanguard, defeated Qiao Rui in Dongping, and captured Dongping and Wuyan. Most of Qiaorui's 10,000 soldiers and horses were damaged, and he only led thousands of remnants to flee to Shouzhang City, but the people in Shouzhang City still did not let him enter the city, and Qiaorui had no choice but to flee back to Yuncheng with the remnants of the army.

After receiving the message, Lu Bu summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Knowing that Cao Hong defeated Qiao Rui and captured Dongping, everyone's faces were a little bad. After Cao Hong captured Dongping and Wuyan, he was able to attack Shouzhang and Xuchang. If these two places are lost, this will make Sun Ce's hard-fought Fan County unable to keep it! This literally interrupted all their previous plans!

After Dong'e, Juancheng, and Fanxian were captured, LΓΌ Bu and his men had only to firmly occupy Dongping, cut off the road between Kangfu and Taishan, and take advantage of the dangerous terrain to intercept Cao Cao. Cao Cao, who had no foothold, as long as he was defeated, would definitely not be able to continue the march, so Cao Cao could not have the expectation of retaking Yanzhou.

"The situation is still in our favor."

Lu Bu spoke up first, "Shouzhang and Xuchang haven't fallen yet, we can send troops to rescue." This Cao army does not yet know the information of the loss of Juancheng, Dong'e and Fan County, if we know that the army will definitely be unstable, we only need to defeat them when their foothold is not stable. ”

"Let me go to the rescue of Shouzhang."

Sun Ce responded, "Qiao Rui is only bound by me, and I also ordered him to occupy Dongping to resist Cao Jun, and now he is so ashamed that Cao Hong is defeated!" ”

Qiao Rui is also Yuan Shu's general, this time Yuan Shu let Sun Ce be the main general, he is the deputy general, Qiao Rui is extremely unconvinced. Sun Ce was worried that he didn't know how to swallow Qiao Rui and his soldiers and horses, and now he just wanted to fall asleep and came to the pillow.

"Then Bofu, you will go to Shouzhang first and defeat Cao Hong!"

Lu Bu agreed, and glanced at everyone again, "But there are two more things I have to tell you." ”

Everyone looked at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's face was grim, "The first thing is that there is a great drought in Yanzhou, and there is a locust plague in all counties, and it is difficult for our grain and grass to support a long-term continuous war. ”

Everyone knows a little about the drought in Yanzhou, but when Lu Bu said that there was a locust plague in all counties, everyone was still a little shocked for a while! Wherever the locusts passed, there were no grains! If this war continues to drag on for a few days, we don't know if there will be enough rations to keep people alive!

They raised an army against Cao, and their purpose was to expel Cao Cao from Yanzhou after all, so that Yanzhou would be too safe and stable. Now that this locust plague is raging, why don't they know that every day that the war drags on, there will be more casualties?

Lu Bu glanced at Sun Ce, Sun Ce got up and saluted Lu Bu, and then faced everyone, "Everyone, panic!" I have already repaired the book to General Zuo, and General Zuo promised me to go out of the valley first for 200,000 hu, and then he will send grain and grass. ”

Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, and Wan Qian, the faces of Yanzhou scholars, are better, and these 200,000 grains and grass are nothing compared to the drought in the entire Yanzhou. But after all, it still showed Yuan Shu's attitude, if this Yanzhou was captured by Sun Ce, then it would be his Yuan Shu's territory, and Yuan Shu would have to come to the rescue. This is a great opportunity to win the hearts of the people of Yanzhou, how could Yuan Shu miss it?

These 200,000 grains and grass, just advance first, Yuan Shu is still worried that Cao Cao can sweep in and retake Yanzhou, so if he has more grain and grass now, he is afraid that it will be a waste. Yanzhou is his territory, he will come to the rescue, not his territory, what is he doing with waste of grain and grass in vain! Anyway, these 200,000 grains and grass are enough to cope with a momentary emergency.

"When I attacked Dong'a, I also took 50,000 hubars of grain and grass."

Lu Bu said in a deep voice and glanced at Chen Gong, "But these alone are not enough. Gongtai, I will now hand over to you the matter of raising grain and grass, the matter of grain and grass is related to the life and death of the officers and men of our three armies! I hope you can do your best to raise more food and grass for the army! ”

Chen Gong stood up and readily agreed.

"One more thing!"

Lu Bu said, "Yuzhou Assassin Shi Guo Gong has captured Dingtao, I'm afraid that I will be able to attack my Juancheng City in the near future!" ”

"What!"

Everyone was stunned.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Guo Gong came to the fire to take chestnuts, which was even worse for the chaotic Yanzhou!
