Chapter 444: Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Highway (thanks to 23TL's floating red reward)

There is also a locust plague in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is close to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, so more refugees from these two states are going to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei sighed, "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the heroes have risen everywhere, the people are in danger, and they are prepared to be the pastor of Xuzhou, and they should save the people in danger." ”

"Big brother Gao Yi." Guan Yu hugged his fists.

Chen Deng wanted to speak and stopped, although Xuzhou was rich, but last year Cao army attacked Xuzhou, where he passed, it can be said that the sorrow was everywhere, and the grain and grass in the city were enough for the army, but he couldn't afford too many people.

"Yuanlong has something to say." Liu Bei set his sights on Chen Deng.

"Lord, Xuzhou is also experiencing a locust plague, there is not much grain and grass in the treasury, if the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou are allowed to enter Xuzhou, the grain and grass will not be sustainable, and I hope the lord will think twice." Chen Deng arched his hand.

Liu Bei sighed again, revealing a compassionate look, "The refugees in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty, so they will send orders to all places to set up porridge sheds and let them leave Xuzhou with a full meal." ”

Guan Yu's face was unbearable, but when he thought of the situation in Xuzhou, his expression was gloomy.

"The Lord is merciful, and the people will be grateful when they learn of it." Chen Deng said: "My subordinates have heard that Bingzhou accepts tens of thousands of refugees, so why not let these refugees go to Bingzhou to seek a way to survive." ”

Liu Bei's heart flashed countless thoughts, at such a critical moment, if he saved the people, then his prestige among the people will reach a peak, in the troubled times, the people are the fundamental, there is Cao Jun outside Xuzhou, and there is Lang evil Zangba who does not listen to orders, after Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou, he also wanted to train the cavalry to clean up Zang Ba and others, and really hold Xuzhou in his hands, but people are not as good as the sky, but at this moment, there was a locust plague.

"Just take Yuanlong's intentions, how difficult it is for the people, Yuanlong ordered people to appease the people, and Beihui personally went outside the city to ask the people for their guilt." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were moved when they heard this, while Chen Deng secretly pouted, no matter how nice he said, it was just to drive the people out of Xuzhou, saying that it was for the people to go to Bingzhou to seek a way to live, how many of them could really reach Bingzhou, such a locust plague, there must be strongmen along the way.

However, Liu Bei's behavior still made the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou grateful, and being able to give them a bowl of hot rice porridge at such a moment is enough for them to remember, not to mention that Liu Bei personally came out to make amends to the people.

Many refugees are grateful to Dade for leaving Xuzhou, and Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei also keeps it in their hearts.

Now Liu Biao as the emperor, naturally to show the emperor's bearing, under the advice of the subordinate officials and generals, accepted some of the refugees, of course, these are the refugees in the young strong, into the army, this is also a good way to resolve the refugees, Jingzhou after the war, the army was seriously damaged, the arrival of refugees, also made Liu Biao replenish the army a lot faster, as for what kind of casualties these soldiers will have on the battlefield, it is not something he considers, ordinary soldiers are dead, and there are more young and strong to add in.

"My lord, now that Xuzhou and Jingzhou are taking care of themselves, it is also an opportunity for our army." Xi Ce's face was even paler than before.

"Zhicai, Yanzhou's military affairs are heavy, but you have to put your body first, if you fall ill, who does Benhou rely on?" Cao Cao said with concern.

"The subordinates' bodies are fine, it's just an occasional cold." Xi Ce said slowly: "On this occasion, Yanzhou is in a dilemma, why doesn't the lord raise troops to crusade against the ministers, although Yuan Shu is defeated, he is still alive in Shouchun." ”

"How could Ben Hou not know, but there is not much money and food in the army." Cao Cao showed a helpless look on his face, if Yanzhou at this time was like Jizhou, he would definitely raise troops to fight against Xuzhou and Yuan Shu. Cao Cao sighed.

Xi Ce arched his hand and said: "Lord, Yuan Shu has a bed crossbow making method in his hands, if Yanzhou can get it, why not break through Xuzhou, and at this time Shouchun is full of complaints, the lord only needs to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Shouchun, it can make Yuan Shu's army panic, it is said that after Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun, he fell ill in bed, and the affairs in the city were only handed over to the officials under his command to deal with, compared to Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was more short of food, after the lord broke Yuan Shu, his reputation in the world will be unmatched. ”

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and then set his eyes on Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, Benhou wants to raise troops to fight against Yuan Shu, and the grain and grass in the city are enough for 10,000 troops?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord raises troops to fight against the ministers, but it is the luck of the Han Dynasty, and the grain and grass in the city are enough for the needs of 10,000 troops." ”

In fact, the grain and grass in Yanzhou can no longer withstand the army, but in order to be able to make Yuan Shu, a rebel, break down, even if it is difficult, Xun Yu has to complete, he has a deep affection for the Han family, and at the same time sees the current situation of the world, although Liu Biao inherited the unification and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, this emperor lacks weight in the hearts of the princes, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, and Li Dao Guo Yan's Rebellion, the last trace of prestige of the Han family in the hearts of the princes has long been wiped out, if Liu Biao can break Yuan Shu by strong means, may win the recognition and admiration of the princes, but after breaking through Yuan Shu, Jingzhou lost troops and lost nothing, and in the face of Sun Ce, who was eyeing him, he could only defend passively, and it was difficult to make the princes surrender.

Yuan Shu said that although the Son of Heaven was defeated, it also showed that the Han Dynasty at this time was no longer what it used to be, if it was put in the time of Emperor Ling and Emperor Huan, even if the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, if they dared to do such a rebellious thing, they only needed a holy order to make the Yuan family defeated.

In August of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao mobilized 10,000 troops in Shanyang, swore an oath to defeat Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao sent an envoy to praise Cao Cao's actions after learning about it.

At this time, the officials of the land of Jiujiang did not feel any hope, it was the officials of the city along the way who saw the arrival of Cao Jun, and opened the city gate to welcome Cao Jun in, but in half a month, the army had arrived in Shouchun, and the people in the city were panicked for a while, and there was no shortage of officials under Yuan Shu who secretly contacted Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu's decadence, Shouchun's panic, and people's discouragement, the officials in the city were more worried about what they would do after the Cao army broke Shouchun.

After the news of Cao Cao's army to attack Yuan Shu reached Jiangdong, Sun Ce immediately summoned his civilian and military generals, and the general Zhang Xun had secretly contacted Jiangdong.

Even if Shouchun did not have a good life after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, it was a rich land, if Jiangdong could get it, he could attack the land of Xuzhou, and he could also provide food and grass for the army.

"Cao Jun crusaded against Yuan Shu, the city along the way looked at the wind and fell, Cao Cao's wolf ambition, after occupying Shouchun, the Lujiang River was in danger." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin has a good plan?" ”
