Xun Yu really came for this matter.

Yuan Shao wrote a letter to Cao Cao, the wording was the tone of the superior to the subordinate. Cao Cao was asked to integrate troops and horses, assist the Jizhou army, and capture Puyang and Chenliu.

Liu Mang sneered. "The food I provide is for disaster relief, not for Yanzhou to fight!"

Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand Taiwei Liu. Mrs. Liu sent charcoal in the snow, and Cao Gong was grateful to the millions of victims in Yanzhou, and he was also grateful to Mrs. Liu. The disaster in Yanzhou has not been solved, and Cao Gong will never use troops. ”

"That's very good. However, if Yuan Benchu captured Puyang and Chenliu, the passage between Sili and Yanzhou would be blocked, and the waterway of the Yellow River would also be under the control of Jizhou, and the grain route for disaster relief would be completely blocked. ”

Cao Cao and Xun Yu are also worried about this.

Liu Mang said: "I will send a letter to General Yuan, stating that disaster relief is a top priority, and advise him not to use troops without permission." ”

"Cao Gong also has this intention."

"However, Wen Ruo, General Yuan's temperament, you know better than me. Relying on the two letters of Meng De and me alone, it is difficult to have an effect. If you want him to completely give up the idea of going south, I hope Meng De can work with me to make preparations as soon as possible. ”

Xun Yu knew that what Liu Mang meant was that while the two families sent a letter to persuade Yuan Shao, they should be prepared to move troops to prevent Yuan Shao from going south.

……

Using force to deter and prevent Yuan Shao from attacking Puyang Chenliu, Cao Cao could not but be cautious.

Regarding the reorganization of the cabinet, Cao Cao spoke to Liu Mang, which had already caused Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction.

If you work with Liu Mang and threaten Yuan Shao with force, you will completely give up Yuan Shao and form an alliance with Liu Mang.

With Yuan Shao's current strength, Cao Cao was unwilling to do so.

However, the disaster in Yanzhou is inseparable from Liu Mang's support. Moreover, Cao Cao did not want Yuan Shao to get involved in Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao is the most powerful prince in the world, and with the fall of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao has completely lost his worries.

Once Puyang Chen remained in the hands of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's Yanzhou. It will become Yuan Shao's next goal.

From Cao Cao's point of view, what he hopes most is that Yuan, Cao and Liu Sanfang will maintain the current situation for the time being.

"Wen Ruo, Puyang Chen Liu. In the land of projectiles, how can Yuan's original heart be accommodated? Once Yuan Benchu set foot on the south bank of the river, he was bound to expand further. And Mengde's Yanzhou is the biggest stumbling block on the road to its expansion. That's the key. Wen Ruo will not understand. ”

Liu Mang further said: "Although Meng De and Yuan Benchu have a covenant, let me tell you a joke, the covenant is used to tear up. ”

Xun Yu finally nodded. "When I return to Yanzhou, I must explain to Cao Gong. It's just that Xun is worried that Yuan Benchu's attack on Puyang Chenliu is blocked, and he will use troops in my Qingyan land. In the land of Yanzhou, there are still millions of victims who have not been resettled, and they are really powerless to resist the Jizhou army. ”

"Wen Ruo rest assured, please bring a message to Meng De. As long as Mengde and I take the same position. If Jizhou dares to march into Qingyan, I will definitely raise troops to help Mengde. ”

"Xun Yu must convey all the intentions of Taiwei Liu."

……

As a last resort, we must avoid a big war with Yuan Shao.

However, if Yuan Shao acts recklessly, he can only use force against him!

In order to deal with the aggressive Yuan Shao, and the military deployment of the state and the subordinate, adjustments were made accordingly.

In order to facilitate dispatch and command, all party departments in the prefecture will be temporarily merged and placed under the jurisdiction of the subordinate departments.

Summoned and the deputy governor of the prefecture, Su Dingfang. Do a good job in the defense of Yanmen and Taiyuan.

Xu Da, the deputy governor of Sizhou, was ordered to prepare several sets of plans for the use of troops to deal with possible variables on Yuan Shao's side.

At the same time, Liu Mang also paid close attention to the disaster relief situation in Yanzhou.

Bao Zheng is serious. The distribution and final use of the relief food are recorded one by one and reported back to Luoyang on a regular basis.

The disaster under Cao Cao's rule was really serious. Not only Liu Mang provided disaster relief food, but also Beihai Kong Rong and Xuzhou Liu Bei. A small amount of food was also provided. Even so, the grain consumption in the Yanzhou army was cut by nearly half.

……

Zhan Zhao was ordered by Bao Zheng to rush back to Luoyang and bring back good news!

In the area of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, mulberry trees bear fruit again!

Mulberry leaves can raise silkworms, and silk is an important textile raw material, the Central Plains, planted mulberry trees all over.

The mulberry fruit is a mulberry, which is sweet in taste, but has a slightly strange taste, and the people rarely eat it.

And now in the midst of a food shortage, the mulberry tree is bearing fruit again, which can be called a life-saving fruit!

When the little emperor Liu Xie heard the news, he was both surprised and a little panicked.

"The mulberry tree should bear fruit in summer, but now it is the end of autumn, and the mulberry is recovering and bearing leaves. Fierce? ”

Liu Mang sighed secretly in his heart, when people's lives are at stake, do you still think about good luck and evil?

"Your Majesty, whether it's summer or autumn, it's good luck that mulberries can save the lives of millions of people in our Han Dynasty."

Sikong Zhongxuan said: "Yes." It is not the first time that the mulberry is reborn, and it is contained in many historical books. Now, when the grain shortage in the Central Plains coincides with the re-formation of mulberries, it is a sign that the fortune of our Han Dynasty will be long and will never be exhausted! ”

Zhong Xuan is knowledgeable, he said so, Liu Xiefang was relieved.

……

Good news just arrived, and bad news followed!

Jizhou, send troops!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Jizhou suddenly sent troops and seized Pingyuan County, the seat of Qingzhou Plain County!

The Yellow River crosses Pingyuan County, which is located on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Limited by strength, after Cao Cao seized the plain, he put his main forces on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Because of the locust plague, Cao Cao and Liu Mang got closer. The three princes of the auxiliary government were adjusted, and Cao Cao helped Liu Mang a lot.

Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao must be dissatisfied with himself. However, no one expected that Yuan Shao would suddenly use troops against the plains.

Seizing Youzhou, Yuan Shao captured thousands of military horses.

The vanguard of this surprise attack on the plain was the cavalry of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Without warning, he set out from the giant deer and suddenly rushed to the plain.

The few defenders in Pingyuan County have not yet reacted, and they have become prisoners of the Jizhou army.

100,000 infantry in Jizhou, acting at the same time.

The Juyi Department quickly entered the southern part of Jizhou, and the Ganling of Qinghe State. Its goal is self-evident, across the Yellow River, less than 100 miles of Yanzhou Dongjun Dong'a!

Yuan Shaoqin led the main force and stationed in Yuancheng County, Wei County, on the border between Jizhou and Yanzhou. Here, to the east, you can threaten Dong'a, and to the south, you can attack Puyang.

The former Fa Xiao, brothers, and allies became opponents overnight! This is one of the characteristics of troubled times.

No matter how domineering it is, it is also necessary to give a reason for the battle.

Before Yuan Shao attacked the plains, he secretly contacted Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, and pretended to take the opportunity of the victims in the plains to rob the big families, and stationed in the plains in the name of protecting the king of the plains and the nobles of the family.

The Jizhou Army did not cross the Yellow River to the south, but gradually deployed along the Yellow River.

Cao Cao was a little panicked.

The defeat in Xuzhou and the defeat in Puyang, Cao Cao can face it calmly. But Yuan Shao's Jizhou army pressed the border, and Cao Cao was really a little panicked.

The strength is already weaker than Yuan Shao, and it is in the midst of famine. At this time, Yanzhou will be defeated!

If you don't fight, you have to give in.

Cao Cao refused!

On the one hand, the team was mobilized to strictly prevent Dong'e, Linyi, Gaotang and other places on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Xun Yu was in a hurry, and then went to Luoyang to see Liu Mang.

Liu Mang is the only force that can be relied on at present. And Liu Mang had promised that once Jizhou used troops against Yanzhou, Liu Mang would raise troops to support.

Cao Cao could only pray, and Liu Mang kept his promise...... (To be continued.) )
