Chapter 10 What should come will come after all

"Xianhe, how long will our summer grain last year?" After placing the hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves that had been collected a little, Liu Bei quickly summoned everyone to the government to discuss the matter, and the first thing he raised was the most fundamental food issue.

"I'm not optimistic, I estimate that I can only last until the beginning of spring, and wait until next year's summer grain harvest, how can there be about three months of vacancy." Jian Yong said thoughtfully.

"That's right." Everyone in the hall suddenly felt their hearts sink when they heard this, and then everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Feng. "Don't look at me, I can't conjure food." Zhao Feng was innocent. In fact, he was not too anxious in his heart, because he estimated that Tao Qian would soon come to Liu Bei to save his life, and when the time came, how could he worry about the problem of eating for hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou.

"It's only been three months, or if you save some food, you should still be able to survive." Liu Bei could only propose this method at this time, and everyone in the hall couldn't think of a better way, so they could only decide it for the time being.

In the next few days, Zhao Feng and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei worked together to reorganize the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army brought by Guan Hai. According to Zhao Feng's suggestion, soldiers under the age of 18 and over the age of 45 were removed from the army and replaced by tuntian soldiers specializing in agricultural production. As for the old and young women and children, they live in the same situation as the people.

"Tuntian? Bo Tao, is this method feasible for you? "This is Liu Bei's question." Lord, now we have more troops and fewer people, and only in this way can we reduce the pressure on the people. Zhao Feng explained, but he was secretly proud in his heart: Lao Cao, I borrowed your tricks first, and only you will learn from me in the future.

"That's all there is to it." Liu Bei couldn't think of a better way. So after some rectification, there were more than 12,000 strong men and 5,000 Tuntian soldiers. Coupled with the original 8,000 troops in Pingyuan County, Liu Bei suddenly had more than 20,000 troops. What made Zhao Feng feel that the fly in the ointment was that there were fewer cavalry, which added up to less than 3,000. Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Feng and Guan Hai, they carried out regular exercises. According to the custom, Plains County cannot have so many soldiers. But now that the emperor is far away, and he is still being held hostage by Li Dao and Guo Yan, who still has the kung fu to take care of this matter in Pingyuan County. And Liu Bei's immediate boss, that is, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai, is more like a guest at the forum, and he only sat in this position because he was attached to Yuan Shao. What he can actually control is the two counties of Beihai and Donglai, and the rest except for Pingyuan County, which is quite peaceful, others such as Taishan County and Leyang County are all rampant with yellow turbans, which is not very peaceful.

Now Zhao Feng is looking forward to the arrival of people from Xuzhou, in addition to the regular training he conducts every day. He was not at all worried that because of his butterfly effect, Xuzhou would not come to ask for help. Historically, after Xuzhou was attacked by Cao Ying, Tao Qian sent Mi Zhu to Beihai to ask Kong Rong for help. As a result, Mi Zhu had just arrived in Beihai, and Kong Rong was also robbed by Guan Hai. In the end, relying on Tai Shici to fight out of the siege and report the news, he found Liu Bei to save Kong Rong first, and then Xuzhou. Now, due to his own increase in grain production, Pingyuan County replaced Beihai County as a leading bird and was robbed by Guan Hai, but Liu Bei took the opportunity to surrender Guan Hai, so it was impossible to besiege Beihai. But as long as Xuzhou is attacked, Mi Zhu will still go to Beihai to move rescue troops. Kong Rong and Tian Kai definitely didn't dare to save themselves, and they still had to use Liu Bei as a gunman.

Therefore, as long as Cao Ying's father is killed, Tao Qian will definitely find Liu Bei for help in the end. However, it seems that 194 is not destined to be an ordinary year, and before the people of Xuzhou came, it was rumored that Sun Jian's son, 19-year-old Sun Ce, began to pacify the six counties of Jiangdong one after another after borrowing thousands of soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu. In ancient times, the news did not spread quickly, and by the time Zhao Feng knew the news, it was already September, and Sun Ce was sent to Jiangdong in March, and now it is estimated that several cities have been laid.

"It's a pity, Koto!" Zhao Feng sighed while inspecting the school field and practicing. "What's wrong with Koto?" Guan Hai on the side was a little inexplicable when he heard him sigh like this. Since he was captured, Guan Hai didn't pay much attention to this young general at first. But later, I heard that Pingyuan County's grain production had increased greatly in the past year, all thanks to this Zhao Duwei, and I was immediately impressed by him. Later, he learned that the reason why he was able to keep this surname was also because of this Zhao Duwei's suggestion to Liu Bei, so Guan Hai really admired and appreciated Zhao Feng.

"Nothing, haha." Zhao Feng hurriedly opened the topic, and at this moment, another sentinel rode a flying horse to arrive. "Captain Zhao, Captain Guan, the lord has an urgent matter to summon the two of them to the government to discuss."

"Huh? What's up? Zhao Feng couldn't help but look forward to it.

"The villain doesn't know very well, it seems that someone from Xuzhou is here." The sentry replied truthfully.

"Xuzhou?" Guan Hai couldn't figure it out for a while, but Zhao Feng couldn't wait: the long-awaited day finally came, and someone in Xuzhou finally came to ask for help. It's just that I don't know if it's Tai Shici who came to report the news, if so, do you want to take the opportunity to pull him in?

"Brother Guan, let's go to the government office first." Zhao Feng couldn't help urging Guan Hai, and the two of them rode on their horses and hurried all the way to the mansion. As soon as he entered the hall, he found that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already arrived, not to mention Liu Bei and Jian Yong, and there was also a literati. Zhao Feng glanced at him twice, feeling that he should not be a military general like Tai Shi Ci, and he had no murderous aura at all. At this time, Liu Bei introduced that this person was Xuzhou Bei Mizhu.

"It turned out to be him." Zhao Feng suddenly realized in his heart, and after everyone saw each other, Mi Zhu said his intentions. is similar to what Zhao Feng expected, it was also Cao Ying's father who borrowed Xuzhou at the beginning, and then Tao Qian's subordinates were ordered to escort him, but when he saw Cai, he deliberately killed people and oversold goods, which provoked Cao Ying to attack Xuzhou in anger, and Tao Qian couldn't resist it, so he came to Qingzhou for help. Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong were outnumbered, so they recommended him to come to Liu Bei. The only difference from history is that there is no bothering Tai Shi Ci to go out.

"I also hope that you will have mercy on the people of Xuzhou and send troops to solve this urgent need." After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he gave a deep salute, and at this time, everyone in the hall began to discuss. "Big brother, we don't need to contribute to Xuzhou." Zhang Fei, who was outspoken and fast-talking, first said his opinion, and most of the rest of the people agreed, only Zhao Feng bowed his head and was silent, and Mi Zhu on the side saw this scene, and his face suddenly became much more ugly.

"It's not that I don't want to save Xuzhou, but I don't have many soldiers and horses. A few months ago, a group of displaced people were taken in, and there was not enough food and grass. At this time, Liu Bei said slowly. As soon as Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately admired Lao Liu: This is a clear extortion, and it also makes the other party willing, even if it is a first-class businessman. Sure enough, when Mi Zhu heard that Liu Bei didn't say anything to death, he immediately said that Xuzhou was rich and willing to provide food. At this time, Zhao Feng's eyes were already a little pitying: now he was just cheated of some food, and even his sister was going to be cheated away soon.

"In that case, Rong Bei went to borrow three or five thousand soldiers and horses from his classmate friend Gongsun Zhan." Liu Bei also made the final decision, and Mi Zhu did not suspect Liu Bei of using excuses to shirk. Without further ado, Liu Bei immediately set off to Youzhou to borrow troops, and at the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Feng, and Guan Hai also began to gather troops and prepare to rescue Xuzhou.

Liu Bei was very fast, and after two days, he brought back two thousand cavalry, and he came back with a white-robed young general. Zhao Feng vaguely guessed who he was, and sure enough, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and even Jian Yong all greeted him, and this person was Changshan Zhao Zilong. "General Zilong!" Zhao Feng also gave a gift, but he was thinking in his heart: "If I let my classmates know, I have a relationship with the most popular idols in the Three Kingdoms, and I don't envy them to death." Zhao Yun is also a person who knows etiquette very well, and hurriedly replied immediately.

Saving people is like fighting fires, so everyone did not delay any longer, but set off directly to Xuzhou. At Zhao Feng's suggestion, only Jian Yong led the 5,000 Tuntian soldiers plus 2,000 infantry to stay in Pingyuan County, and the other 18,000 soldiers and horses were all dispatched to join forces with the army brought by Zhao Yun to save Xuzhou. Mi Zhu had already gone back to report the news first, and Tian Kai and Kong Rong's troops had also been dispatched, but they only dared to cheer from afar. Counting on Kong Wenju to let Pear can, it would be too difficult to expect him to fight for this scholar, especially if the opponent is a fierce god like Cao Ying.

"It's time to come after all!" Zhao Feng sighed while galloping on his horse. Look at the silver spear in your hand, the armor on your body, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind you. It's been more than two years since I came to this world, and this should be my first official battle. In addition, although he has participated in several bandits in the plain for more than a year, and even personally led the team to fight, but compared with the upcoming battle, these can only be regarded as children's plays.

"Cao Ying." Zhao Feng muttered the name of the biggest rival in his mouth, and he was looking forward to this battle more and more in his heart.
