After Yongzhou received the letter sent back by Liu Shi sent Shi Lian, Li Ru and Xun You specifically planned a military plan to seize Shanggu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, they were extremely worried about Liu Shi's long-term stay in Youzhou, Liu Shi thought that Youzhou was the last most contested place in the Han Dynasty, several forces were staggered, Yongnu had mastered it, and Qingzhou also had a little achievement, so it was a pity to give up.

In his opinion, there has been no major war in recent years, and once a war starts, it will be earth-shattering, and preparations must be made in advance.

Yongzhou is sparsely populated and understaffed, and there is no certainty of attacking Cao Cao, and Youzhou is the best way to grasp it.

Xun You, Lu Su, and Jia Xu also agreed, but Yongnu is now weak and helpless, and once something happens, Yongzhou will not be able to rescue. Several people had long wanted to surprise attack Shanggu, but Liu Shi thought that the time was not right, and it was difficult to guarantee the food of the Luyuan army.

At this time, Liu Shi mentioned in his letter the request to seize Shanggu, and these people were extremely excited and immediately began to implement the plan.

When tens of thousands of foot soldiers went to Shangdang and Yanmen to build a false image of defending Karasuma to attack the fortress, and tens of thousands of light cavalry were also preparing for the attack a hundred miles away from the border, a letter from Xun Yu was just delivered to Yuan Shao.

The letter is to the effect that Cao Cao contacted Xian Yufu and appointed Xian Yufu as the general of Du Liao, and drummed Shanggu Karasuma to plunder, raid and harass the state, contain the military strength of Yongzhou, and was suspected of trying to seize Jizhou, Yongzhou was ready to seize Shanggu and suppress Xian Yufu, hoping that the two families could cooperate to resist Cao Cao, and asked Jizhou to provide convenience for the Shanggu garrison to purchase grain.

Yuan Shao received Xun You's letter and shouted: "Cao Cao! I swore to you that I would not stand on the other side, vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and sent a few sons, telling them not to fight for the position, but to cooperate well with Liu Shi, to fight against Cao Thief, and to report the shame of the official! After saying that, he fainted, and a few days later, Yuan Shao died.

Yongzhou received the news and expressed condolences to Yuan Shao in the name of Liu Shi, hoping to work together to fight Cao Cao.

After Liu Shi seized Shanggu and Daijun, he seized various passes and pacified the counties.

The Nanlou Department fled in a hurry, discarded all food supplies, and was forced to slaughter horses for food, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, he took tens of thousands of Karasuma tribesmen to rob all the way and fled to Liaoxi.

Liu Shiling left 20,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 light cavalry to garrison Shanggu, and the rest returned to Chang'an and Bingzhou.

Dai County and Shanggu originally had a small population, but Xian Yufu moved a lot, and now the two counties together have a population of less than 100,000. Liu Shi moved all the population to a place where the road was convenient and the land was fertile, and only a few cities were retained in the two counties, all of which were managed by Shanggu, and Liu Zheng was the governor of Shanggu and served as the Taishou of Shanggu, Liu Bao was the general, and Jia Xu was the military advisor.

Liu Zheng ordered Jia Xu to go to Jixian County to communicate with Yuan Xi about the purchase and sale of grain and grass, which went very smoothly. Jia Xu took the opportunity to visit Luxian and Yongnu to meet Liu Shi and discuss the future development direction.

Not long after the two met, the personal guard came in to report: "I just received news that Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao is dead." ”

Liu Shi frowned and said: "This is a bit troublesome, it is difficult for the Yuan brothers to hold Jizhou, we have to speed up the layout here." ”

After a moment of conversation, he asked Jia Xu, "What does Wen He think about this?" ”

Jia Xu said quietly: "Everyone knows that Jizhou strategists, civil ministers, and military generals are not in harmony, and they are willing to seek balance from them. It's just that this early death seems to have fallen off, and from now on Jizhou will be in turmoil, and Cao Cao will never let go of such a good opportunity. ”

"What should we do?"

"Try our best to postpone the lost time in Jizhou and increase the difficulty of Cao Cao's capture, and we can also take advantage of the fire appropriately and share a little benefit."

"It's a good fire, after you go back, send a message to Xun You, Li Ru, and Lu Su, when Yecheng is attacked, you can go east out of Hanoi, and you can also find a little trouble with Cao Cao in the direction of Guangcheng Pass, mainly to seize the population. Our side is also looking for an opportunity to take Yuyang. After speaking, the momentum rose sharply.

As soon as he returned to Xu Wu, Wu Yan came over.

"You kid has a woman, and you won't go to see me forever." Wuyan said angrily.

Liu Shi said with a smile: "How could my father say that, isn't the little son-in-law busy managing that class of slaves?" Why can't you let me do it for nothing! ”

"You kid for nothing? This Xu Wuyou has accepted a lot of homeless people! The earth is also, I heard that there are almost more than 10,000 displaced people in the earth now, and the land around the city has been reclaimed for you, so I want to come to this year's harvest is not small? Isn't this tax to be added a little bit! Uyan smiled slyly.

"What? Do you think that this homeless person does not need money or food? I've invested almost all of my old money, and I'm hoping to earn some money back this year! Liu Shi replied in surprise.

Wu Yan looked at Liu Shi's appearance and said helplessly: "Okay! All right! Don't be poor with me, give you a daughter like a flower, it will not benefit at all. Now who doesn't know that you have contacted the Yongzhou Army again, I heard that they need a lot of grain and grass every year, and you will provide it! ”

"Father! Your news is still very fast! I just found out? When the time comes, I'll buy this horse grass from you, how about it? The price is half a percent higher than the market price! Liu Shi said with a smile.

"Humph! High half percent! You can say it, do you think this winter horse grass is so easy to fight? It's not more than 30%, and there is no door! "I hummed when I finished speaking.

Liu Shi's face changed: "If that's the case, I didn't make any money." ”

"What you don't have to earn, you don't know how to raise the price, this Yongzhou army is nearly thousands of miles away, even if you are high fifty percent, you have to pinch your nose and buy it, what are you afraid of?"

"That won't work! There is also a way in business, do I still want to do long-term business? Liu Shi said with a resolute face.

"Alright! When the time comes, it will be two percent, so that you can earn a little! Wu Yan seemed to be helpless.

"Hmmm! This is a good father, why can't you watch me and your daughter suffer poorly! Liu Shi grinned.

"Are you poor? All the money in the world has been earned for you, and you are poor, and you are so poor that you only have money left. Don't miss me at all. With that, Uyan gave him a look of contempt.

"You --- how can you say that about me? Don't I want to make a little more money? When you have a large number of children with Feng'er in the future, will you have the money to raise them at that time? Liu Shi seems to be very aggrieved.

"I don't want to have a whole bunch of children with you! How hard is that? ”

"Feng'er is here!" Wu Yanxi said.

"I've heard from people that you two are arguing over money again! I came to take a look. ”

"Who said it, dare to say bad things about me, Shan Yu, and can't see that their teeth are pulled out one by one." Uyan feigned anger.

"Humph! You! In the past, it was possible, since I got back together with Brother Shi, meeting was to talk about money, and I was not as fierce as before, and it was much better for the slaves. Wu Yanfeng said with a smile.

Wu Yan smiled and said, "Wasn't this taught by that guy?" What slaves are also people, only if the slaves are well fed, will they have the strength to work, will they be loyal to you, can they make more money, and with money can we live more comfortably. ”

"Humph! Now you've got into the money hole, and you don't even look at my daughter first. After speaking, he pouted, looking coquettish!

When Wu Yan saw it, he immediately walked over and hugged Wu Yanfeng in his arms, and said, "You are my most precious treasure, isn't this all taught by your husband?" If you want to blame him, blame him, don't sleep him at night. ”

When Wu Yanfeng heard this, he was happy at first, but then his face turned red and he was angry: "You, my father will also talk nonsense, I will ignore you!" After speaking, he glanced at Liu Shi, turned around and ran away.

Liu Shi smiled, for more than a year, Feng'er has become more and more beautiful, delicate and delicate, and she can't tell that she is a Hu woman at all.
