Chapter 152: Help Liu Biao collect food

(Sorry, I can only update one chapter a day this month, I'm too busy, I can't help it, there are still a lot of things to do, and I haven't sweated all day long.) Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info forgive me~)

The families accompanying the killing field are all like frightened birds, they live in Shouchun City, how can they not have anything to do with Yuan Shu, and there are many children in the clan who serve under Yuan Shu. Seeing that Lu Bu killed several top families in Shouchun except for the Ji Ling family and the Lu family, the Yuan Shu family was even arrested by the whole clan and sent to Xuchang, and it was impossible to escape death if they were sent to Xuchang.

Everyone is at risk. They felt a cold knife around their necks about to cut off their heads.

Lu Bu can't let these family members put themselves in danger, he can't kill everyone, Lu Bu gave them a reassuring pill and said: "There are countless of you in the city, however, God has the virtue of a good life, and he would not want to shed a river of blood, if you draw a line with the thief, you will no longer be pursued." However, if you recruit the people and turn them into dependents of your family, so that no one pays taxes in the country, and the treasury is empty, you must dismiss the private soldiers and the people who are dependent on you, otherwise you will report to the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven condemn him. ”

When all the clans heard that Lu Bu did not pursue, they were grateful and said: "The general will not pursue what our children have done, and we are willing to make up for the merits, dismiss the private people, and take out grain and grass to supply the general." ”

These families are not stupid, now Lu Bu is in full swing, the situation is stronger than people, they choose to be wronged and hidden, waiting for the opportunity to overthrow Lu Bu's cruel rule in one fell swoop, and now if they don't follow Lu Bu's decision, they can only die and be wiped out, and everyone hates it in their hearts.

"That's very good. Land is the foundation of life, and it belongs to you and others who are legally enough to buy, and it will not be taken away. Lu Bu also compromised on the surface. The land of the big family is just that they exploited it from the hands of the people through various means, and Lu Bu did not intend to pursue it, and there would be no fish when the water was clear. Population is the capital that competes for the world, and if there is no land, you can open up wasteland and grab it.

Lu Bu turned his head to look down at Yacheng, and raised his voice: "You wait for the anti-thief minions, and you don't know how to repent when you die, and people and gods poke together." Since he is stubborn, then don't blame Ben for being ruthless. ”

"Lockdown!"

"Lockdown! ......""Lockdown! ...... "Lockdown!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.

"What city is sealed? Lu Bu: What does this mean? Yuan Shu asked Yang Hong.

Yang Hong looked back at Yuan Shu in confusion, with a puzzled expression.

Several columns of soldiers armed with shovels came to the clearing in front of the drawbridge outside Tooth City and began to dig trenches. Thousands of people worked at the same time, and the speed of excavation was very fast, and the shadow of a wide trench gradually appeared.

"Lu Bu is going to trap us in the city!"

"We're going to be trapped and die in the city......" The ordinary soldiers also found out about Lu Bu's intentions and panicked.

Lu Bu's arrangement was carefully studied, first killing the Shi clan Liwei, and tightening Yuan Shu's spirit, so that they would not embrace Lu Bu's soft-hearted mentality, and some of the Shi clan were not held accountable, giving others hope for life. Then he made a plan to trap Yacheng to death, eating away at the will of Yuan Shu's soldiers, making them suspicious of each other in Yacheng, and finally crushing the strong Yacheng without a single soldier.

"Your Majesty, let's go out of the city for a decisive battle, there is still a little chance of winning the decisive battle now...... some generals asked for battle.

Yuan Shu looked at the soldiers who were trying to dig a trench outside the city, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted to the ground again. Countless generals saw that Yuan Shu was in a coma and wanted to take the opportunity to open the city and surrender, but they were all strangled by Yang Hong's direct command of Yuan Shudi's Imperial Forest Army.

Yuan Shu was unconscious, the army in the city was leaderless, and countless people wanted to open the door to surrender, but they were afraid that Yang Hong would ruin their lives, and a strange atmosphere was formed in the city.

In two hours, a ravine four or five zhang long and one or two zhang deep around the suspension bridge was dug up, and then the moat was dug to bring the living water in the moat of Yacheng into the ravine. At this time, the Yacheng was sealed and let out countless panicked cries.

"Bring the families of the generals and soldiers in Yacheng and ask them to call their families outside the city and persuade them to tie up Yuan Shu and surrender." Lu Bu tried his best to demoralize the city and put psychological pressure on them, so that they could attack each other in the city. It doesn't matter if Yuan Shu finally defends the city, Lu Bu has already borrowed the road to Guanzhong.

blocked Yacheng, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's attack and defense were out of place, and now it has become Yuan Shu's army trapped and dead in Yacheng, and it is not Lu Bu who should be in a hurry. It was even more difficult to fill the moat from the inside than from the outside, and it was blocked by high walls at your feet.

"Gao Shun leads the army to monitor Yacheng." After Lu Bu finished speaking, he returned to the barracks with his soldiers.

Lu Bu set up the office in the barracks, and the Shouchun County Shoufu was set up in Yacheng, that is, Yuan Shu's palace, Lu Bu didn't even capture Yacheng, so how can he say that the office was set up in the county guard's mansion.

LΓΌ Bu summoned his subordinates to discuss in the big tent.

Lu Bu took the lead and said: "Shouchun has been pacified, and the next step should be to send troops to Runan to clear the danger on the road to Runan." I wonder how Wenyuan is progressing? ”

The subordinates of Yuan Shu in the big tent did not know Lu Bu's final arrangement, they were newcomers, and they were humble and did not speak one by one.

Chen Gong said: "Wen Yuan hasn't sent back the news yet, and I don't know the specific situation. ”

"Runan is close to Xuchang, and the general must arrange troops in advance to guard against Cao Cao's army." Xu Xuan has been governing Runan and has a good understanding of the surrounding situation, reminding. He also knew now that Lu Bu had been beating him for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, once the news of Wenyuan's capture of Runan spreads, Runan and Xuchang are very close to each other, and Cao Cao will also raise troops to attack for his own safety." Xu Shu also supported Xu Xuan's suggestion.

Lu Bu nodded and asked, "Okay, who is willing to lead troops to Runan to garrison?" ”

"The last will go." Zang Ba, Lei Xu, Ji Ling and other generals asked for battle.

Lu Bu prefers to believe in Gao Shun, Zang Ba and other old generals who have been following, but the new generals can't be suppressed because of concerns, so after thinking about it, he arranged: "Chen Gong is the main general of the Chinese army, Xu Xuan is the main commander of the march, Ji Ling is the vanguard, Lei Xu is the rear army, and the three armies will go to Runan to assist in the defense." ”

"Whoa." The four of them had no opinion on Lu Bu's arrangement, Runan was Xu Xuan's lair, and with Xu Xuan going with him, the probability of surrendering the county town under his rule would be much higher, so as to reduce unnecessary siege and uprooting.

Xu Xuan got up and said, "The last general once recruited an army in Donghai County, stationed in Xuyi, and prepared to attack Yuan Shu. ”

Xu Xuan smiled bitterly and continued: "Right now, the general has voted for the general, and the general can send someone to receive it. ”

"Oh, then General Mei Cheng will go to defend Tuzhong and receive this army by the way. General Xu did not lose the demeanor of a famous general, and the troops were well arranged, and the ambush in Xuyi was beyond our expectations. Lu Bu praised Xu Xuan a few words, and sent Yuan Shu to guard the city that was not important.

"Pay attention to find out Wen Yuan's movements as soon as possible, he has few soldiers and generals, if he is in danger, he must be rescued as soon as possible." Lu Bu was even more worried about Zhang Liao's safety, and Zhang Liao was an important person under Lu Bu who could not afford to lose.

Shu Shao hesitated for a while, then suddenly got up and interrupted Lu Bu's words: "The general must not raise troops. Although the last general did not know how much the general had hoarded in the rear, there was not much grain and grass in the Shouchun army, and the rest was barely enough for the army to support for a month.

Shouchun was dilapidated under the governance of Yuan Gong, and it was difficult to increase taxes. The general has been fighting since last year, and this year he has not planted crops, and the grain and grass in the rear are afraid that it will not be enough to support the consumption of the army and the people. ”

In the final analysis, Lu Bu is weak in the follow-up, and the food and grass are not enough, Shu Shao reminded that Lu Bu only thought of this serious problem, he is used to fighting to feed the war, but his harvest in this battle of Shouchun is tens of thousands of soldiers, and the inability to escape from the old, weak, sick and disabled under the rule of Yuan Shu, not so much a harvest, but an increase in a lot of burden. He wasted his fields for a year this year, and Shouchun was already swept away by Yuan Shu, and the people were miserable, and they couldn't collect much grain and grass at all.

Traveling to Runan is imperative and cannot be delayed. Lu Bu wanted to march into Guanzhong before Zhong Xuan went to Guanzhong to integrate the scattered forces, once Zhong Xuan integrated the various forces in Guanzhong, Lu Bu wanted to attack Guanzhong with his current strength, which was difficult to climb to the sky. None of the two forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui, Lu Bu may not be able to defeat them now, let alone after Zhong Xuan twisted all the more than a dozen forces into one.

Sold Shouchun for grain and grass? Lu Bu also thought, Sun Ce couldn't take out 500,000 stones of grain and grass to buy a broken Shouchun, he wanted to buy it, and the strategists under his command wouldn't let him buy a broken Shouchun.

Lu Bu was powerless and slumped on the high seat, his thoughts were very full, without food and grass, everything would be empty talk, no matter how much Xu Shu could plan, it would be impossible to conjure up food out of thin air.

Turning food and grass out of thin air? Well! With that, Lu Bu excitedly patted the case, and pulled the people who were frowning and thinking back to reality: "In another month, it will be the season of grain harvesting, and I am afraid that Liu Biao in Jingzhou will not be busy." Why don't you go and help him harvest, what do you think? ”

Everyone in the hall suddenly reacted, Xun Gan and the others were a little uncomfortable with Lu Bu's shameless behavior, but Xu Shu was the first to react: "It's so good." I'm afraid that Liu Jingzhou will not accept the kindness of the lord. ”

"Well, that's a problem. So what to do, Liu Biao will not object? ”

Lu Bu went to grab Liu Biao's grain, Liu Biao would oppose it, and Lu Bu asked embarrassedly.

These crooked tricks Chen Gong is unreliable, most of the strategies he plans are mainly based on yang schemes, and the conspiracy is a bit difficult for him. Xu Shu continued: "We have a large population, which has been a serious drag. It is rumored that Liu Jingzhou has a good reputation, so how about the lord write a letter to exchange the population for grain, or sell it to him? ”

"Okay, that's it. Yuan Zhi set out to arrange this. But Liu Biao may not agree to sell the population, and it is better to come up with a better way! Except for Xu Shu and Liu Ye, everyone looked at Lu Bu in confusion, and Lu Bu didn't explain. It's just that under the pretext of sending the population, he went to harvest Liu Biao's rice, millet, and millet. Wheat has passed the harvest season, and the main crops in Jingzhou are mainly rice, which is just about to reach maturity.

"This will only solve the immediate crisis, but it will not be a long-term solution. If you miss this year's planting time, I'm afraid you will miss next year's planting time. Lu Bu said worriedly. Only Xu Shu, Chen Gong and Liu Ye knew why Lu Bu was worried.

Others didn't know that Lu Bu didn't have a foothold in Shouchun at all. Can you go to Guanzhong this year? Guanzhong is dominated by wheat, and wheat is a crop that needs to be planted before the year and harvested in March and April of the second year. If you don't grow crops for two years, what will the army and the people eat?
