The enemy can't catch it if he wants to, and he wants to attack the city but is afraid that the rear will be surrounded, not to mention that even if he captures a city, he may not be able to have food, and it is likely that it has already been transferred.

Cao Cao's action was very effective, the Yellow Turban Army did not say that it continued to attack the city and plunder the land, for a time it was not even possible to protect itself, the soldiers gradually lost every day, the small unit did not dare to go out of the camp, the brigade was dispatched but could not find a battle, the wives and children brought by him became more and more difficult to eat, and the high fighting spirit of the soldiers when they first arrived in Yanzhou was gradually lost and no more, and the momentum was extremely low for a while.

As the battle lasted for a long time, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, autumn turned to winter, the weather became colder, and a desperate mood spread among the Yellow Turban Army.

Now it is impossible to enter the city, it is difficult to return to Qingzhou, and there is no hope of wintering according to the original code, and millions of people are trapped in Jibei Yanzhou by Cao Cao, and they can only ask God for mercy every day.

At this time, Cao Cao saw that the time had come, and personally wrote a letter of persuasion, which was soon sent to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.

This letter of persuasion was a relief for the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban soldiers really came to surrender one after another.

In the face of interests, the vast majority of people will not hesitate to obey interests, because disobedience is death.

The desperate Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army accepted the reorganization of the government army into Cao Wei's later main force - the Qingzhou Army, and this time Cao Cao alone incorporated 300,000 troops, and Cao Cao selected its elite to form the Qingzhou Army of the Yanzhou government.

It's just that although there are soldiers, what about the remaining 670,000 old, weak, sick and disabled?

Cao Cao wanted to be dismissed, but he was worried about provoking an unpredictable mutiny, but six or seven hundred thousand mouths gnawing Yanzhou was not a way, but how was it good, it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Cao Cao was stumped for a while.

At this time, a self-recommender suddenly came, but who was it?

This person is Chen Liupingqiu's name, surnamed Mao Ming, the word Xiaoxian, to say that this person does have some origins, this person is the descendant of Mao Sui, if Mao Jue recommends himself, but it is also half by himself and half by people.

This Cao Cao's method of pacifying Yanzhou was indeed admired by Mao Jue, but this was not the main reason, the main reason was that he suddenly dreamed of Mao Sui's apparition at night and told him that there would be a great opportunity to join Cao.

In the dream, Mao Sui asked how to deal with this million people, Mao Jue said what he thought in his heart, and his ancestors heard it, and then drifted away.

So on the second day, Mao Jue recommended himself to come here and offered Cao Cao a good policy to calm the world: the general trend of the world, the collapse is a foregone conclusion, the Son of Heaven is gone, the people are withered, the people are forced to be displaced by hunger, the states and counties are in war, the country cannot settle the people, how can it last? Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, although the land is wide and the people are dense, they keep the rich and well-off, and they may not have the ambition to manage the world; Since ancient times, those who advocate can win wars, those who are rich and wealthy defend the land, and the generals only need to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven and not submit to them, and they should focus on agriculture and reserve armaments, so why not dominate the world?

This Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this, and made Mao Jue as the shogunate's Gong Cao, and carried out the targeted implementation, many people don't know that this Feng Tianzi to order Buchen was the first to be put forward by Mao Jue, but it was not implemented at the beginning, and Mao Jue's proposal to focus on agriculture and reserve armaments was implemented by Cao Cao.

Now I am worried about the six or seven hundred thousand Qingzhou army old and weak just get their place, Cao Cao out of the land, they out of people, harvest two one to add five, now a hundred land is abandoned, even the land does not have to spend money, than the current demolition is simpler, you can take it directly, it can be described as a million profits, this policy came out, when it was really a group response, not only solved the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, but also solved the most important problem of grain and grass, so for a time Cao Cao's troops were prosperous, and the grain and grass were sufficient.

However, although Cao Cao sat in Gunzhou, but more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, all need grain and grass supply, and at present, Fang Gang implemented the tuntian system, it is impossible to work immediately, and now the people's livelihood has become a big criticism, can only fight to support the war, there is no other way, is thinking of joining the battle of Eryuan to fight to feed the war.

And Mao Jue also saw through Cao Cao's thoughts, and came to Jin to see and said: "If it is divided today, the heroes are divided, and the princes bring tens of thousands of armor, but they have no heart to serve the country." The imperial court has no finances and taxes to govern the country, and the people have no property to settle down, and this kind of system can never be sustained. Since ancient times, those who raise troops in the name of righteousness win, and those who do not have a proper name do not speak well. The Duke of Ming should first defend the position with wealth, serve the Son of Heaven with orders not to obey, and cultivate to accumulate military funds, so that the cause of the king can be achieved. ”

Mao Jie's words first pointed out that Cao Cao's name was not right, although Cao Cao owned Yanzhou at this time, he did not have a real position, that is, he was not recognized by the state.

Of course, the current government is what Li Xuan and Guo Yan say, but this name is very important, if you go to attack other officials with no name, this is a bad name, what is the difference between it and the rebels?

Cao Cao pondered for a while, nodded yes, and then sent an envoy to Beijing to face the saint. At this time, Li urged Guo Yan's government to be stable, so he took this opportunity to show favor to Cao Cao. Since then, it has been officially rewarded by the imperial court.

Cao Cao didn't know at this time that he had just received an official reward from the imperial court, and a crisis was sweeping in.

At this time, it coincided with the defeat of Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shao and Liu Biao attacked Yuan Shu's grain and grass accumulation, although it was unsuccessful, but it also cut off Yuan Shu's logistics supply, Yuan Shu knew that this Liu Biao could not be beaten, and it was when there was nothing to be done, someone pointed out that he attacked Yanzhou, which was obviously a high move at the moment.

In order to stabilize Yanzhou, Yuan Shu connected the two forces to attack Yanzhou, all the way was the Montenegrin army, Yuan Shu came to ask it to jointly attack Gunzhou, and divided the results equally, and the Montenegrin army was happy; And Yuan Shu united another foreign force, but this one was the Yufu Luo people of the Xiongnu.

With a wave of his arm, Yuan Shu gathered an army of 300,000.

The 300,000 army, but the regular army, Liu Shen was entrusted with an important task, as a vanguard officer, leading the army to Yanzhou.

This Liu Xiang's ability is not weak, and he has a magic weapon in his hand, called the copper wall seal, as long as this thing is built on the city, this city is a copper wall and iron wall, unless there is supreme mana to have a chance to break it.

Liu knows the art of war, as a striker, he is not in a hurry to fight, but led 50,000 soldiers and horses in the soldiers' important place - Kuangting garrison, and at this time Kuangting is Cao Cao's Yanzhou, Cao Cao heard that the military situation was busy with the strategists, everyone heard that Yuan Shu with 300,000 strong troops were shocked, after all, this Yanzhou is a new city, the people's hearts are not stable, at this time Yuan Shu to attack, it is really the best time.

Cao Cao asked Xun You and Guo Jia what they meant, and Xun You stepped forward and said: "Yuan Jun has just arrived in Yanzhou, and his foothold is not stable. ”

This plan is quite appetizing to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "I have this intention." ”

was about to order an immediate surprise attack, but Guo Jia said: "Lord, don't do it." ”

When Cao Cao and Xun Yu heard Guo Jia say this, they both looked at Guo Jia, and Cao Cao was stunned: "Why did Feng Xiao say this? ”

Guo Jia Zhengse said: "The enemy's main general, Liu Shenfei, is not an ordinary person, and it is useless for Kuangting to go with more soldiers. ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean by this? ”

Guo Jia said: "Although this Liu Xiang's ability is average, there is a Buddhist treasure in his hand, and this treasure is covered above Kuangting, and no matter how many soldiers can break the city." ”

Cao Cao fell into deep thought when he heard this.
