As soon as Cheng Yu's words came out, everyone changed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't care about the faces of the others, and said directly.

"There may be no food in the official treasury, but not necessarily those wealthy families, at least as far as Yu knows, the granaries of those wealthy families are full, if you take food from them, you don't need to worry about food anymore..."

I have to say that this is indeed a solution, and it is a quite effective solution.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, and I don't know how many times this poem has appeared. However, from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as a confirmation that even in troubled times, the wealthy families will not lack food and clothing, let alone ordinary people, in order to survive, they will be reduced to the point of needing Yizi to eat.

And the storage time of grain is very long, especially millet, millet is stored for a long time, as long as the storage method is proper, even if it is stored for three or five years, there is no problem―――――― and the ancients' requirements for food are not as high as those of later generations.

In order to seek greater profits, those wealthy families also like to hoard grain, and they hoard it year by year, and there is definitely a lot of money in the granary.

It's just that...

"If you do this, won't you greatly offend those families?" Hesitating, Sun Guan spoke.

The family, this was a term that could not be avoided before the Tang Dynasty, and even in the Tang Dynasty, with the gradual promotion of the imperial examination system, the family still had a huge influence. Especially in the period of the five clans and seven surnames, he was even more arrogant to the extreme, and he would rather marry each other and maintain the so-called nobility of the bloodline, rather than look at other surnames, this arrogance even reached the point that even the emperor could not look down on it.

During the Tang Wenzong period, Wenzong wanted the prime minister from the Zheng family to marry his granddaughter to the crown prince, but the prime minister would rather hand over his granddaughter to a junior official from the Cui family than to make Wenzong speechless. "The folk repair marriage, regardless of the official character and go to the valve, my family is a two-hundred-year-old son of heaven, and he can't take care of Cui and Lu Ye?"

It was not until the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that these existences that secretly affected the whole of China gradually weakened, and in the Song Dynasty, they were basically no different from ordinary people.

However, in the Han Dynasty, these wealthy families may not be able to compare with those in the Tang Dynasty, and their influence is not inferior.

A hero like Cao Cao also relies on the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Yingchuan family to be dominant in the world. The little overlord Sun Ce didn't care about this, and after entering Jiangdong, he killed a river of blood. But his younger brother has been wrestling with the Jiangdong family almost all his life, which shows the troubles of these families.

According to Cheng Yu, he really relied on robbing the family to get food...

If you offend those cautious guys, I'm afraid that some of them will be annoyed in the future...

The others were also silent, only Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others showed excitement on their faces.

I don't know if it's really such a coincidence, I don't know why Guan Hai has a good relationship with Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, especially Pei Yuanshao, who just came under Yan Shao's account and hit it off with Guan Hai. This is also in line with their temperament, and they can't help but applaud as soon as Cheng Yu's words fell.

It's just that...

"Do you raise war with war..."Yan Shao smiled bitterly, looked at Cheng Yu and couldn't help but shake his head. You've really got a big problem for me..."

Cheng Yu's face did not change, as if he did not know how destructive his strategy was. "The lord wants to solve the problem of grain and grass, and there is no other way to do it, but it depends on how the lord chooses..."

In fact, it's not that there really is no other plan, at least Cheng Yu can come up with another plan. It's just that the plan can't be put forward unless it is absolutely necessary, if Cheng Yu proposes it like this, he will be regarded as an outlier by everyone in the account in a blink of an eye.

He is indeed a ruthless man and a low-key person. The degree of low-key is not much different from Jia Xu, the difference is only that he has not come up with so many poisonous schemes as Jia Xu.

"Lord, if you do this, you will definitely offend the Qingzhou family greatly, so it may be detrimental to the great cause of the lord, and I hope the lord will think twice." After hesitating for a while, Tai Shici stood up and hugged his fists.

It's not that he has any good feelings for those wealthy families, it's just that he has lived in Qingzhou for a long time, and he knows the energy of these families very well. If you offend those cautious guys, I am afraid it will be very bad for Yan Shao's reputation and other aspects.

With Tai Shici at the beginning, a few more generals stood up, and even Dong Zhao stood up against this opinion after hesitating for a while―――――― it is not surprising that he is also a member of the family, although it has nothing to do with these families in Qingzhou. Especially Le'an is not a big county, even if there are some families, they don't have much influence, but after all, they are still members of the family, right?

As for Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Gan Ning and others, they agreed with Cheng Yu's opinion. From a humble background, they have long looked down on those high-ranking families. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, but also chose to agree. First, they are also from humble backgrounds, and they have nothing to do with wealthy families, especially those in Qingzhou, and if they don't want to go back to Beihai like this, this is the only way.

In the end, all eyes fell on Yan Shao, but they were waiting for his decision.

The so-called strategists are, in the final analysis, just the ones who put forward opinions, and it is the monarch who makes the final decision.

Jun was mainly disturbed by the opinions of the strategists, and the end was like Yuan Shao, and vice versa...

Of course, there are also people like Liu Bei who listen to everything and make a career in the end...

There is still a degree to be grasped in this...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"This Cheng Yu..."Sitting alone in the tent, Yan Shao sighed as he looked at the flickering candlelight next to him. Forget it, let's go outside and breathe first...", he picked up a coat from the bed, draped it over his body, and walked out.

Outside the door, a soldier wanted to follow, but he waved him back.

In his own army, he didn't feel like he was in any danger.

This afternoon, Cheng Yu really gave him a big problem, either choose to withdraw the army, or find a way to get some food out of the hands of those families. The family has food in their hands, Yan Shao has no doubt about this, if there is anyone else in this world who is the richest, it is nothing more than these families.

The royal family seems to be high and rich in the world, but in fact, it is just that.

While being rich in the world, it also means that the emperor shoulders the responsibility of the world, and the money of the whole world belongs to him, but the expenses of the whole world also belong to him. If the money and grain taxes are not enough, the emperor even needs to pay for the subsidy himself.

In terms of true family background, it may not be stronger than those families who have passed down for several generations and more than ten generations.

Of course, this refers to a wealthy family in the true sense, not an ordinary three-legged cat.

For example, Yan Shao's Yan family, when it comes to Yan Shao's generation, there is no difference between it and the poor family, just the name of a family. If Yan Shao hadn't crossed over and made a career, I am afraid that he would have no chance with the family when it was passed on to the next generation, saying that he had to wait until the next generation, and he would be removed from the family when he reached Yan Shao's generation.

As long as you think about the wealth of the Mi family, you can understand how rich these families are...

"But these families can't be easily moved..."

With a long sigh, Yan Shao looked up at the starry sky above his head.

Traveling to this era, if there is anything he is most satisfied with, I am afraid it is the blue sky above his head.

Yan Shao remembers that in his childhood, this kind of starry sky was actually not uncommon, and every night when he stayed up from the Internet café and stayed up until midnight to go home, he liked to look at the starry sky and the moon in the sky.

The air wasn't as bad as it was later, and the stars in the sky weren't uncommon. But later, if you want to see the starry sky of your childhood again, it depends on luck. Even when the weather is good, there are only three or two stars in the sky, and if you want to see the same starry sky as in your childhood, you need to run to the wilderness to see your luck.

Many photography enthusiasts are like this, carrying heavy equipment every night to run to the wilderness to shoot the so-called 'star track', because only under that geographical condition can it be possible to shoot a beautiful starry sky―――――― but to be reasonable, Yan Shao has always felt that it is not interesting to shoot star tracks, it is better to find a few beautiful girls to shoot, how interesting it is.

Perhaps it was because of this entanglement that Yan Shao did not make a decision immediately during the day, but planned to think about it.

Fortunately, the grain road in the rear is unblocked, and the grain and grass transported every day are continuous, so that it can barely last for a period of time. Moreover, Yan Shao also sent people back to Beihai to explain the current situation. Not only has the number of grain and grass supply increased, but the number of forage has also been greatly reduced, and the proportion of grain accounts for about ninety percent.

After defeating Xu He, it was unlikely that Yan Shao would have a large-scale field battle in Qingzhou. The cavalry is more of an ornament, there is no need to go into battle, and there is no need for so much forage.

If it weren't for the occasion, Yan Shao even began to consider whether to let Sun Guan go back to Beihai first to save some food.

Just when Yan Shao was hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared not far away, very dazzling under the firelight, Yan Shao saw that it was Zhao Yun wearing a signature white robe and silver armor.

Seeing Yan Shao, Zhao Yun was also a little surprised, and hurriedly clenched his fists. "Lord!"

"Zilong, why can't you sleep?" stepped forward and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder affectionately, Yan Shao asked with a smile.

Among the generals, if you want to say that Yan Shao's closest person must be Guan Hai, Yan Shao has never concealed his closeness to this subordinate general who followed him. But if you want to say that his favorite general is none other than Zhao Yun.

In later generations, he was not a cloud fan, but Zhao Yun was still one of his favorite generals, and now that he saw Zhao Yun, the sad look on Yan Shao's face turned into a smile.

Zhao Yun hesitated and nodded. "Yes..."

Like Yan Shao, Zhao Yun was also thinking about the things during the day.

As a military general, now is the time for him to show his skills, just let him go back to Beihai in a gloomy way, he can't accept it somewhat. But he is also very aware of Yan Shao's hesitation, he needs grain and grass to go west, and grain and grass...

Except for the family, I'm afraid no one will have extra food and grass.

"Worried..."Yan Shao sighed and said helplessly. I really miss the time when I was crusading against the Yellow Turban in Quyang, when I only needed to think about going into battle to kill the enemy under the account of General Huangfu, there was no food, and I could go to the quartermaster to settle the account, where did I need to think about so many troubles. ”

Hearing Yan Shao say this, a smile also appeared on Zhao Yun's face. "Even General Huangfu is now trapped in Chang'an, and has to serve Dong thief, on the other hand, the lord has gone through dozens of battles and served countless countries for the country, and now he has eliminated Xu He, and his contribution to the country is no less than General Huang Fu, and now the lord is only more than twenty years old, and there are still dozens of years, how can it be compared to General Huangfu..."

Yan Shao looked at Zhao Yun with a surprised expression, as if he couldn't believe that such words could actually be said by him, and Zhao Yun himself seemed to be a little embarrassed.

But after being surprised for a while, Yan Shao shook his head and said, and then looked at Zhao Yun. "Zilong, what do you think this time?"

"This..."Zhao Yun looked a little hesitant.

Yan Shao waved his hand, signaling that Zhao Yun didn't have to be like this. "Just talk freely, now it's just you and me here, what is there to take care of..."

For this favorite general, Yan Shao still attaches great importance to his opinion. And unlike Gan Ning and others, Yan Shao hopes that Zhao Yun can become a general, and in the future, he can be as independent as Tai Shici―――――― Yan Shao's expectations for Zhao Yun are higher than Tai Shici.

"This..."After hesitating, Zhao Yun finally spoke. Yun is just a martial artist, he shouldn't have spoken, but ......... I wonder if the lord still remembers his original ambition? ”

"Ambition?" Yan Shao was stunned, but Zhao Yun continued.

"If there is chaos today, thieves are everywhere, natural and man-made disasters are continuous, and the people are almost lifeless, isn't the ambition of the lord to save the people from fire and water? All the towns in Qingzhou are inactive, and the officials are insensitive and insensitive, if the lord retreats now, won't it be a big disappointment for the people of the counties who have been waiting for a long time? Speaking of which, Zhao Yun has already bowed down with his fists clenched. Yun implored the lord to go west and save the people of Qingzhou from danger..."

If he had just defected to Yan Shao, maybe Zhao Yun would not have spoken like this, but...

After staying in Qingzhou for a while, he also knew something about the situation in Qingzhou. In addition to Yan Shao, the other officials are stupid and incompetent, coupled with the thieves everywhere, the county government is rampant, and there are wealthy families riding on it, except for Beihai County under Yan Shao's rule, the people of other counties can be said to be out of dire straits.

In this case, it may be a lucky thing to be taken under Yan Shao's rule.

Hearing this, Yan Shao also seemed to remember something.

"Yes, now that the people are in dire straits, how can I retreat to Beihai and let the people suffer more..."

Thinking of this, Yan Shao already made a decision in his heart...

"Zilong, go and call Ziyi and Zhongde..."

Zhao Yun hugged his fists excitedly. "No!"

When Zhao Yun turned to leave, Yan Shao clenched his fists tightly.

"The longer you mess around, the less courage you have, what can you do if you offend the family? I can't do what Xiaobawang can do? ”

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

It was dark, and Yan Shao's subordinates had already begun to rest.

Of course, not everyone went to rest, at least except for a few who really couldn't come up with any ideas, and the rest were thinking about food and grass. The opportunity to unify Qingzhou is at hand, not to mention Yan Shao. Even they are just as unwilling to retreat.

Therefore, after hearing Yan Shao's call, Ru Ziyi, Zhong De and others quickly came to the camp.

When everyone arrived, Yan Shao looked at everyone and said solemnly.

"I've already thought about it, and I'll start marching west tomorrow."

"This..."

Hearing Yan Shao's decision, people such as Guan Hai and Zhou Cang were naturally overjoyed, but Tai Shici, Dong Zhao and the others were taken aback, and even Huang Zhong and the others, who had supported them before, were a little hesitant.

"But my lord, if you do this, I'm afraid you will offend the Qingzhou family..."

"Yes, the families of all counties in Qingzhou have a lot of influence, if you offend them, even if you unify Qingzhou, I'm afraid..."

Anyway, robbing other people's food, and thinking that others will cooperate with you, is a little too whimsical.

People in this era are still very backbone, especially for those who claim to be high―――――― of course, it is limited to a safe state, and when it really comes to a fatal situation, it should be shrunk back.

This is the case in Dongwu during Sun Ce's period, in the face of the butcher's knife that Xiaobawang has raised, with several examples from the previous ones, how can anyone dare not cooperate? It wasn't until the relatively weak Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's position that those families dared to make a fuss.

Facing the doubts of his generals, Yan Shao shook his head and said. "I've made up my mind..."

Hearing this, the people below closed their mouths one after another.

To say that there are indeed a lot of people under Yan Shao's account, but there is no one who can chirp crookedly in front of Sun Quan like Zhang Zhao, not even a character like Zhuge Liang.

How many Yuan Shao got there, but what happened? I'm afraid it's clear to everyone.

Now that Yan Shao has made a decision, there is no need for others to say anything more. But after Yan Shao made a decision, Tai Shici and the others were also relieved, leading the army outside, and the most taboo thing was hesitation and hesitation. It's better to have a decision than to just wait.

What's more, they are only worried that the Qingzhou family will not cooperate in the future, and they have nothing to worry about the strength of these families―――――― the so-called strength of the family, usually refers to the influence, and a large number of local fields or other industries to expand the strength.

The point is that the fields can only be cultivated outside the city, and I have never heard of anyone cultivating fields inside the city. However, the Yellow Turbans were rampant in Qingzhou, and before Yan Shao defeated Xu He, many counties often closed their doors even when the Yellow Turbans attacked. Let the yellow turbans be destroyed outside, and the fields of the major families are of course one of the key targets.

Historically, the decline of the scholars in the Tang Dynasty was so rapid and so alarming, isn't it because the Huangchao Uprising caused too much damage, even to the point of affecting the survival of the scholars?

It's not so powerful now, but as the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban, the Qingzhou family has also been greatly affected.

In this way, it is difficult to say whether the Qingzhou family still has the strength to wrestle with Yan Shao.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent seemed to be relaxed, Yan Shao also smiled. "Besides, so-and-so is not taken for nothing, it will not be long before they make up some IOUs, it is really not good, they can also barter, then Xu He does not have much food, but the goods are not less saving. It is not known how many cities he conquered and how many treasures he looted. With these things as compensation, I believe they should also be content. ”

This is not a lie, that Xu He has been in Qingzhou for so long and has looted countless treasures.

However, as a yellow turban thief, he couldn't trade with people outside, and all these treasures were rotten in his hands, and in the end they all became Yan Shao's things.

Yan Shao selected a few good ones from them and prepared to give them to several women in the room, and the rest were distributed to the meritorious people below. Even some ordinary sergeants were praised for their bravery in battle. However, Xu He had looted too many things, and he had divided a lot, and there were still a lot of treasures left.

It's still worth exchanging these useless things for grain and grass in Yan Shao's opinion...

In a way, it's fair trade.

If those families still have any noise, Yan Shao doesn't mind using some heavy means to solve them...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In the plains of the country, the people were cultivating their fields.

Unlike the officials of several other counties, Liu Bei's benevolence is still very commendable, and the people in the plains are much stronger than other counties, not to mention living and working in peace and contentment. Especially after Xu He led the Eastern Expedition and found trouble with Yan Shao, the yellow turbans in the plains almost disappeared. The Plains Country, which was originally relatively peaceful, suddenly rose several notches because of this public order. Of course, Liu Bei and the others above know the real situation in the mainland, and they also clearly know what the yellow scarves in the country are doing.

But if the people were happy, they were happy to explain.

Until they waited for the news of Xu He's defeat and death, this news was like a bolt from the blue for Liu Bei. If it weren't for his amazing city, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground, but he wouldn't have been able to do it without changing his face.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the news of Yan Shao's lack of food to follow, which finally made Liu Bei's face look better.

Later, Yan Shao, like people from several other counties, also sent envoys to Yan Shao's side, and at the same time prepared to ask Yan Shao when he planned to return to Beihai. If Yan Shao was willing to go back, although the supply of Xu He had exhausted Liu Bei and the others, they were still willing to supply a batch of grain and grass for free.

It's a pity that Liu Bei waited left and right, but he couldn't wait for the good news he had been waiting for for a long time...

"Lord, the scout is coming, Yan Shao led 40,000 troops, 140,000 troops, and marched westward, the army has arrived in Le'an, and Wang Junshou is afraid that he will not be able to hold out for too long..."

The front was all news from the scout, but the back was his own conjecture.

Hearing this news, Liu Bei took a deep breath, not knowing what to say, but Jian Yong on the side had already analyzed it. "This Yan Shao originally had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has annexed Xu He's 130,000 Qingzhou army, and his strength has increased greatly, the so-called 140,000 army is certainly a lot of water, and the actual strength is afraid that there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000, and Wang Junshou is afraid that he can't resist it..."

"It's just..."Speaking of this, Jian Yong also frowned. How did Yan Shao solve the problem of grain and grass..."
