On the periphery of the camp, the flag is displayed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thousands of sergeants, dressed in armor and armed with swords, patrolled the perimeter of the wall. During this period, there may be whispers, but under the strict military discipline, no one dares to make a loud noise.

Especially for the yellow turban family in the camp in the distance, it can be said that Qiu did not commit any crimes, even if he saw a few slightly beautiful women through the wall, they were only verbally cheap, and did not dare to take any practical action―――――― more than a dozen unrecognizable heads hanging above the gate of the village, but the bloody alert to everyone.

These are the fate of the perpetrators after the surrender of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

Perhaps for some people, after the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans became captives, they should be allowed to slaughter, even their families. Not long after the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans surrendered, some people couldn't control their lower bodies and attacked the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who had just surrendered―――――― 100,000 Yellow Turbans, of which women and children accounted for the majority, even if most of them were mediocre, it was not difficult to pick out a few who could take a look. What's more, the so-called yellow scarves were originally used to strengthen themselves by coercing the people, and some unlucky places where Haoqiang did not escape, and they would also be involved in it, and it was not difficult to find a few beautiful women. Coupled with a bloody battle, everyone held back for a long time, and when they were patrolling the camp, some soldiers saw the lovely woman, and went up directly to rob it.

The young men in the yellow scarf had already been selected by Yan Shao and became a separate army, and those who remained in the camp were all old and weak women and children, how could they resist these people. It's only been a day or two, and I don't know how many similar things have happened. Almost everyone forgot the military order issued by Yan Shao, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which had just surrendered not long ago, almost rioted.

The results proved that Yan Shao still attached great importance to the military orders he had issued, and the more than a dozen heads also made the sergeants who were a little hot-headed sober up.

It is not surprising that the part of the young people who were originally the backbone of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has become another important force under Yan Shao. The strength of more than 30,000 people is four times more than Yan Shao's existing soldiers and horses, even if Yan Shao has defeated this army of soldiers and horses, it will be a trouble to turn them against again.

It's okay to bully them, but these new yellow scarves will have some scruples for themselves or their families. But if he bullies their family members―――――― for most people, family is his biggest bottom line.

Compared with this kind of trouble, it is a better choice to pick some unlucky people with no eyesight from under your hands and cut off their heads.

Now there is almost no crime between the soldiers and horses in the North Sea and the newly surrendered soldiers and horses, and it has a great relationship with this.

As for the estrangement between each other, it will take time to resolve.

"Speaking of which, have you heard?" he turned around and noticed that the camp of the newly surrendered soldiers and horses was getting farther and farther away, and one of the patrol sergeants said quietly. There is not much food and grass in the army, and the lord seems to be hesitating whether to continue to advance westward or just return to Beihai first..."

"Is it true?" Hearing this, a sergeant soon asked.

However, there were also sergeants who chimed in. "I also heard from my fellow villagers that it is said that there was a lot of grain and grass in the camp, but there were so many more people to raise, and the grain and grass in the camp were suddenly insufficient..."

"If you want me to say, the lord is too merciful, he couldn't have killed them all at the beginning, but now he has made so many things..."

"You can't say that, didn't you see that the lord has already trained the newly descended yellow turban into an army? The number of soldiers and horses has increased a lot, but..."Speaking of this, the sergeant who defended also sighed helplessly. "It would be better if we could solve the problem of food and grass..."

However, there are only a few who think this way, and the vast majority of the sergeants do not have a good opinion of the Yellow Turbans, even if many of them used to be Yellow Turbans.

Just as he was speaking, a puff of dust was kicked off in the distance. The sergeants in charge of the patrol looked over vigilantly, and saw thirty or forty horsemen galloping over, and saw that the leader was wearing ink-colored armor, and several people beside him looked very strong, and one of them was white-robed and silver-armored, majestic, and the group came to the front after a while.

The others were still confused, but the sergeant standing at the front immediately bowed down.

"Lord!"

The sergeants behind hurriedly bowed down, and saw that the current knight had lowered his horse's speed, nodded at them, turned over and dismounted at the position of the Zhaimen, followed by several generals and Yan Shao's personal armor soldiers.

Yan Shao was okay, but those soldiers and a few generals didn't look at them, so they followed the pace and walked into the camp, and the sergeants along the way bowed down when they saw it, and Yan Shao only waved his hand. After a while, he came to the camp tent, Yan Shao's tent was very large, even if there were a few people in it, he would not feel the slightest cramped, at this time the camp tent was already full of people, and there were a few middle-aged scribes fidgeting inside.

By the time Yan Shao walked into the camp, the people in the camp had already stood up and hugged their fists. "My lord."

The restless scribes jumped up as if they had springs on their buttocks. "Meet Yan Envoy..."

"Who are you?" Looking at these people, Yan Shao frowned slightly.

Previously, he was inspecting the situation outside with a few generals, and he was called back, saying that Le'an had envoys from several other counties, but he didn't want to be such a few people.

These scribes are also considered to have some status in their respective counties, but now when they see Yan Shao, they are like mice seeing cats. Seeing Yan Shao's frowning appearance, he was even more panicked.

Heaven and earth conscience, Yan Shao didn't plan to do anything with them.

I saw that these people hurriedly reported to their homes, and it turned out that they were all envoys from Le'an, Qi or Jinan and other counties.

The one who came from Qi was even more boxing. "On behalf of my lord, the villain is here to congratulate you on breaking Xu He and removing this great harm for my Qingzhou..."

"The same is true for villains, Xu and the thief have been a disaster for Qingzhou for many years, and they hate the former assassin Shi who is helpless, and now he is a great luck for Qingzhou to get rid of this thief!"

But the compliments continued, and the envoys of the remaining two counties were also roughly the same.

However, if Yan Shao really believed that they were here to congratulate sincerely―――――― then he was mentally retarded.

Sure enough, not long after Daohe, several people had already begun to inquire about when Yan Shao wanted to return to Beihai.

The envoy of Le'an County was even more blunt. "I heard that after Jun Na lowered the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there was a shortage of food in the camp, so that Jun might as well return to Beihai in the near future, and my lord is also willing to offer grain and grass to relieve Jun's urgent need."

"Humph!" When he heard the last sentence, Guan Hai slapped the table and said angrily. "When does my lord want to go back to Beihai, he will go back, you say so, isn't it possible that he wants to drive us away?!"

Gan Ning next to him also sneered. "Some people are under the rule of thieves and robbers, and they dare not take a step out of the city gate, but now they want to drive us away, which is really ridiculous in the world..."

It is not surprising that Gan Ning has always been more ambitious. In history, seeing that Liu Biao was not a successful person, he turned around and left without saying a word, until he defected to Sun's account before he settled down.

For example, Wang Xuan and others may already be as big as the sky in their own county, but in the eyes of Gan Ning and others, they are just some inactive people.

was insulted to his own father-in-law, and the envoy wanted to be tough, at least not to disgrace his mission.

But just by being glared at by Gan Ning, Guan Hai and others, they were shocked and trembled, where did they dare to refute?

Looking at the appearance of several envoys, Gan Ning and the others sneered, but they ignored it, Yan Shao sighed and stepped forward to appease. "Don't be surprised, these generals of mine are all rough people, and they don't know what etiquette is. However, regarding the withdrawal of troops back to Beihai, although Yan defeated the main force of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there are still many remnants of sin who are still fleeing in Le'an. These remnants are not a big trouble, but the king does not have many soldiers and horses under the account, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with it, although he is not talented, he is willing to help the king and the king, and wait until these thieves are cleaned up, and a certain person should return to Beihai, and dare not stay for the next moment..."

"Is what you said true?" Hearing this, the envoy was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

When the other generals in the tent glared at him, he smiled and didn't dare to say anything more.

Yan Shao exchanged pleasantries with the envoys for a while, and then signaled that they could retreat first. The one who can be jumped out as an envoy may not be a particularly capable person, at least he still has some eyesight, how can he not understand what Yan Shao means, and retire one by one.

It wasn't until all these people had left that they saw Guan Hai's resentful words.

"Are these bastards taking us for fools? Thought we didn't know anything?! ”

Several other people in the tent were also very angry, Xu He's reason for sending troops, as well as the source of food and grass during the duel with Yan Shao, had already been clearly informed by Pei Yuanshao and several other Yellow Turban generals who had put them into Yan Shao's account.

Yan Shao glanced at Dong Zhao, Cheng Yu and others, but he was a little helpless.

Even if they are dissatisfied, as long as the problem of food and grass is not solved, I am afraid that where they came from will have to go back...

At present, grain and grass are definitely a thorny problem, and it is not that there is no grain and grass in the camp, but it is a bit too whimsical to feed more than 100,000 people. Thinking of this, Yan Shao was a little helpless when he looked at Pei Yuanshao, if this guy hadn't been so simple when he burned grain and grass, the pressure on their side would have been much less.

Unfortunately, there is no way to turn back many things.

"Since there is not enough grain and grass on hand, and there is no way to let the newly surrendered soldiers and horses go back to Beihai, why don't I go back to Beihai to rest first, and then raise troops to attack Le'an after resting..."Sun Guan proposed.

This can be regarded as a relatively prudent strategy, there is not enough grain and grass in the army, and the grain and grass in the North Sea are still enough. As long as the grain and grass are returned, even if the richness of the North Sea is a little difficult, it can barely maintain it for a while. After asking for the burden of hundreds of thousands, Yan Shao could go into battle lightly and attack the counties again.

Yan Shao shook his head. If this is the case, it will inevitably leave time for Wang Xuan and the others. It would be a bit too ideal to expect them to sit back and wait for death, and the four counties are together, even if they are mantis arms blocking the car, it will be a trouble after all..."

Dong Zhao nodded approvingly beside him. "I just got the news recently, and the civil strife on the Qi side is about to end. Qi is in ruins under Jiao He's governance, but after all, there is an old foundation, not to be underestimated, if someone takes the lead in uniting the other four counties, it will also be a trouble for us, for the sake of now, is to take advantage of the momentum, one drum down, all the other four counties into control..."

As I said before, under Jiao He's governance, the Qi country was in a lot of ruins, but the foundation was there.

As the seat of Qingzhou and the capital of Qi back then, the richness of this land is beyond doubt. If it weren't for Jiaohe, it wouldn't have fallen to this point.

The others looked at each other and nodded.

Although he didn't pay much attention to the forces of the other counties, if he let them connect together, it would be a problem after all. It's better to take advantage of the fact that they haven't joined forces and take the lead. The so-called first strike is strong, and then the first strike suffers. With the strength of the four counties, it may not be a disaster, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

If it drags on for a year and a half, it is nothing in the eyes of others, but in Yan Shao's opinion, it is a little unworthy...

It's just that the problem of grain and grass...

"I wonder how much grain and grass is left in the camp now?" After a deep groan, Cheng Yu, who was sitting next to Dong Zhao, asked.

After he defected to Yan Shao, Yan Shao took him very seriously, and he could be regarded as a high position. But after all, the time for Cheng Yu to defect to Yan Shao was still a little short, and he knew very little about many things under Yan Shao, especially in terms of food and grass―――――― so that it was not that Yan Shao was wary of him, but that these things needed some time to come into contact.

After all, Cheng Yu has only defected to Yan Shao for a few days, and it is impossible for Cheng Yu to understand all the secrets of the whole army in a few days.

"Our army's grain and grass are quite abundant, and the grain and grass hoarded in the camp are enough to supply the army for fifteen days, but this only refers to the original more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the army, if you count the newly surrendered 100,000 people, even if you cut down on food and clothing, I am afraid that you can only barely hold on for three days, and the rest still needs to be supplied with heavy baggage in the rear..." Over the years, the lord has prospered the government and loved the people, and the county is not said to be smooth, but it is much stronger than other counties in Qingzhou. However, adding more than 100,000 mouths will also have a lot of difficulty with the foundation of the county. Moreover, the grain and grass supplied in the rear is calculated according to the figure of 10,000 soldiers and horses, although the army has won now, it will take a while for the Beihai side to get the news, whether it will be too late to adjust the grain and grass, I am afraid..."

To say that in recent years, the North Sea has indeed been smooth weather. When the other counties were hungry, only Yan Shao had nothing to do, which was one of the important reasons why the people of the counties went to Beihai. The supply of grain and grass for 10,000 soldiers and horses was not a difficult task for Yan Shao, and during this time, the grain road in the rear was unblocked, and there was no problem with the supply of grain and grass.

However, if the target supply is only 10,000 people, if it becomes 1120,000 people...

The situation is tragic ...

After all, Beihai is just a county, and no matter how rich it is, there is a limit. What's more, natural and man-made disasters have continued in the past few years, and in the past few years, it has only been to make up for the previous debts.

Cheng Yu also took a deep breath and felt that it was indeed very troublesome...

"If there is not enough grain and grass in the county, can I buy some grain and grass from other places?" Zhao Yun asked tentatively. "I heard that Xuzhou has been in good weather in recent years, and the territory is also considered to be peaceful and contentment, and it is very rarely affected by the military disaster, maybe you can send someone to Xuzhou to inquire?"

In recent years, Xuzhou has been relatively few states affected by military disasters. Tao Qian has a very high reputation in Xuzhou, and it is not unrelated to the people living and working in peace and contentment.

"Otherwise..."Cheng Yu shook his head and vetoed the proposal. I can get the grain that meets 100,000 mouths, but it can't be delivered in a short time, and the supply of grain in the county will be relatively tight. Moreover, Xuzhou is not close to here, and the food of 100,000 people is not a small amount, even if someone is sent to Xuzhou, I am afraid it will take a long time to negotiate, and it will not be able to solve our urgent needs at all..."

Indeed, Yan Shao did not lack food for these 100,000 people, even if he would be a little nervous at hand, he would not starve to death.

Yan Shao's most lacking thing is actually time, especially the time to transport grain, Xuzhou and Qingzhou are neighbors, but if you want to transport grain from Xuzhou, it may not be possible to have a month. It will also take a long time to persuade Tao Qian to sell the grain to himself―――――― premise is that people are willing to talk to you.

The food of 100,000 people is not a small amount, and even for the history of a state, it needs to be treated with caution.

No matter how you look at it, it can't solve the urgent need.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

To say that Yan Shao also has many resourceful people here, whether it is Dong Zhao or Cheng Yu, they can be regarded as people with excellent resourcefulness, and Yan Shao's IQ level is not low. What's more, among the fierce generals under his command, such as Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, they can be called wise and brave, and even Gan Ning can be regarded as a brave and resourceful general, but he is also worried about the problem of food.

No way, no matter how good they are, they can't conjure food...

Yan Shao is the same, now I am afraid that the only way in front of him is to return to Beihai, which is also the most realistic road. But for Yan Shao, this is also the most reluctant path to choose, he raised troops from Beihai not only to solve Xu He, but to take advantage of the situation to sweep Qingzhou and prepare for the next troubled times.

No one knows better than him what the situation in China will be next, and the princes who are not strong enough will become the nourishment of the strong. Yan Shao is very confident in his own strength, and he has a lot of talents, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and tens of thousands of people after annexing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

But in the face of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others, they still didn't dare to have 100% confidence. Even if he has the ability to have foresight, he must rely on strength. If Yuan Shao unifies Hebei, or Cao Cao unifies the Central Plains, Yan Shao still only has Beihai and Donglai counties in his hands, and the probability of failure is almost 100%.

"There is a certain law, maybe it can solve the urgent need..."Just when everyone was very embarrassed, and even proposed to return to Beihai, and then raise troops to attack Le'an after the newly surrendered Qingzhou Yellow Turban was settled, Cheng Yu suddenly stood up.

Hearing that Cheng Yu had a way, everyone in the tent showed surprised expressions. Several of them looked over with great interest, wondering what kind of ability this 'old man' who had just defected to Yan Shao was―――――― he was more than fifty years old, and he could be regarded as an old man in the late Han Dynasty.

"I don't know what Zhongde has to solve the current crisis?" Yan Shao hurriedly asked.

Just let him give up the opportunity to unify Qingzhou, he was really a little unwilling. After all, it's not that he doesn't have no grain and grass, but it hasn't been shipped out of the North Sea. He even regretted why he swallowed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in one bite, instead of coming gradually, so that he couldn't get up now.

Now that I heard that Cheng Yu had a way, I was suddenly a little excited...

He is still very confident in Cheng Yu, and he is also a first-class strategist.

It's just that...

Thinking of some rumors about Cheng Yu, he was also a little worried, for fear that Cheng Yu would come up with some more 'violent' ideas, which would be unbearable.

Cheng Yu didn't sell it either, and said bluntly. "Immediately wave the army to the west, get food on the spot, and feed the war with war!"

Hearing this strategy, everyone in the tent talked about it, and Yan Shao also frowned.

For example, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others agreed very much with this proposal, there were no twists and turns, it was not complicated, it was simple and rude, which was exactly the strategy that was in line with their personalities.

But in the eyes of Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Huang Zhong and others, there are some...

"So, what's the difference with a yellow scarf?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun still asked.

Indeed, the Yellow Turban also uses a similar method, if there is no difference, it is nothing more than that the difference between the two is more obvious in terms of identity, and Yan Shao will not do something to coerce the population.

If the dignified Beihai County guards do this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will cause criticism...

Tai Shici next to him also agreed, but the direction he agreed with was different from Cheng Yu. "Mr. Cheng is a native of Dongjun, you may not know, the predecessor Qingzhou Thorn Shi is stupid and incompetent, Qingzhou counties do their own things, over the years and natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, the people are hungry, the official treasury is empty, even if the city is broken, I am afraid there will not be much food..."

Indeed, Jiaohe can be regarded as leaving a mess for Qingzhou, and the counties have almost become wasteland, and only Beihai has prospered under Yan Shao's governance in recent years, which can be regarded as the happy land of Qingzhou. Even if Yan Shao really did what Cheng Yu said, and finally broke through the city, he would probably face the result of the emptiness of the official treasury.

If there is still no harvest in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

Who wanted to hear Tai Shici's words, Cheng Yu not only didn't care, but asked rhetorically.

"The official treasury may have no food, but what about the wealthy families in the city?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone changed.
