Chapter Seventy-Five: The Strongest Auxiliary, Dong Cheng

[Since you want to attack Jingzhou, Jiaozhou is too guarded by Shixie, it is best to win it over, just send an envoy to it, make friends from afar and attack closely, and Jiaozhou is located south of Jingzhou, if you can flank it, you will get twice the result with half the effort! ] 】

[And Sun Ce, if he knew that he would send troops to attack Jingzhou, he would definitely make a comeback! ] Invite him to attack Jingzhou together, after all, Huang Zu shot Sun Jian before, and Sun Ce hated him to the bone marrow, so he shouldn't refuse, right? 】

Ren Yun's heart sounded in his mind, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth curled slightly, and he was even more determined to firmly control Liu Bei, Cheng Yu, and Huang Gai.

"Okay, this matter is decided like this, Gao Shun, you go to pick up Xuande's family first, and then lead the army to the battle!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Where is Yuan Zhuo?" Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled indifferently

"The subordinates are here!" In the queue of strategists, a fierce strategist walked out.

"Zilong and Gao Shun attacked Jingzhou, although I can't personally command the troops, but I must be foolproof!" Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was quite urban, "Jiaozhou is located in the south of Jingzhou, and Taishou Shixie is a minister of the Han Dynasty, so you can go to lobby and strive for Shixie to take refuge!" ”

"Shhh

The corners of Yuan Lian's mouth twitched, he clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said: "My lord, Jiaozhou is located in a barbarian land, where many ethnic groups gather, and it has never been connected with the Central Plains, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to tame!" ”

"Yuan Lian, figure out the order!" Lu Bu's expression was cold, and he turned around and stared mechanically, "I mean, persuading Shixie has nothing to do with the people!" You bring my word, and if you do not obey, the army will come! ”

"No!" Yuan replied.

"Yang Hong!"

"The subordinates are here!" Yang Hong stood out of the queue.

"Let you go to Jiangdong, meet Sun Ce, and say that you will attack Jingzhou together! Avenge his father Sun Jian! ”

"Huh?" Yang Hong's face was like ashes, "Lord, you just ......"

"What I did, I don't need you to be reminded! As for my order, I hope you don't refuse! Lu Bu's expression was cold, showing a strong killing intent.

"No!" Yang Hong couldn't refuse, so he had to promise.

……

Xuchang City!

Emperor Liu Xie went to court, and originally there was no government affairs to deal with, after all, he was just a puppet emperor!

Just wanted to retreat from the court, but Dong Cheng stood out of the queue and took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, Weichen waits for Lu Bu on behalf of you, something is going on!"

Hearing this, the ministers of the DPRK and China were divided into two factions!

One faction secretly admired Dong Cheng's boldness, while the other faction hated Dong Cheng so much that it itched to the root of his teeth.

Every time I go to the court, hundreds of officials enter the palace, and they have to be inspected in advance, just to prevent someone from entrapment and twists and turns, and there will be trouble!

"Oh?" Liu Xie looked excited, "I haven't approved the performance for a long time, since Wen Hou has a performance, quickly say it!" ”

"Yes!" Dong Cheng clenched his fists and handed over the fold to the little eunuch, "Your Majesty, the traitor Yuan Shu has been ambushed, but the people of the Han Dynasty are under the rule of the traitor, the people are not happy, and the sky is closed for several days of drizzle, the grain cannot be dried, and the area east of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou is experiencing famine!" ”

"Famine?" Xun Yu snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, Lord Dong's words are very ridiculous!" Now that the summer harvest has just passed, and the people have a surplus of corn, will there be a famine? ”

Xun Yu spoke, and the rest of the ministers who fell to Cao Cao hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Dong Cheng is full of nonsense, I hope Your Majesty will not believe such traitorous words!"

"Just after the summer harvest, the wind and rain were good a few months ago, how could there be a famine? Dong Cheng is talking so nonsense, his heart is unpredictable, and he hopes that His Majesty will be wise! ”

"There is no famine in all states and counties, and Yangzhou is located in a treasure land, how can there be famine?"

"Even if there is a famine, the people of Yangzhou follow the traitor Yuan Shu, and they have lost the rights and interests of the people of the Han Dynasty, I hope Your Majesty will ignore it!"

……

The ministers hurriedly chimed in.

"Ridiculous! This is a true thing, why is it a non-existent thing in your eyes? Dong Cheng's thick eyebrows spread angrily, "Xun Yu, you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, why do you want to open your eyes and say nonsense?" I don't know that your words are equivalent to mutilating the lives of hundreds of thousands of people! ”

"Master Dong, nothing is nothing, even if you say it, it won't come true!" A twitch flashed at the corner of Xun Yu's mouth, "In Yangzhou, I heard that Huiji County, Wu County, Jian'an County and other counties are in good weather, and there is no famine!" ”

"Xun Yu, these counties are like this, what about Shouchun, Xuyi County, etc.?" Dong Cheng snorted coldly, "Although these counties follow the traitor Yuan Shu, they have now been recovered by Wen Hou, and the people have also returned to the Great Han!" How can Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, sit idly by and ignore the hunger of the people? Wouldn't it lose the heart of the world's talented people? ”

"Shhh Xun Yu gasped and pondered for a moment.

"If it's really like what Master Dong said, it's all Yuan Shu's evil! The Han Dynasty has been fighting for years, and the treasury does not have much grain in stock! Don't shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty because of a little state and county! ”

"Oh, Lord Xun also admitted it?" Dong Cheng snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, "If Your Majesty doesn't act, won't it make the people of the world chill?" Your Majesty, if Your Majesty provides disaster relief and distributes grain and grass, the Great Han Clan, talented people, and the common people will remember Your Majesty's grace! ”

"Your Excellency, don't fight anymore!" Liu Xiechang sighed, "Xun Yu, I hope you will take a letter of resignation and send it to Cao Cao, and I hope that Cao Cao will quickly prepare grain and grass and send it to Shouchun!" ”

"No!" Xun Yu hugged his fists and replied.

……

After the dispersal, Xun Yu wrote a letter of resignation, saying all the pros and cons, and let Cao Cao make a decision!

Cao Cao, who had gone to Fancheng to defend against Zhang Xiu's army, received a letter a few days later.

After receiving the letter, Cao Cao's face was cold, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was so angry that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing this scene, Guo Jia, Xun You and other strategists did not know why.

"Damn, dog thief Lu Bu, Shouchun famine, let me provide food for relief! Hateful, in this life, I will kill Lu Bu! ”

"Lord, what did Xun Yu say in his letter?" Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and clenched his fists.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lu Bu played the imperial court, saying that most of the counties and counties in Yangzhou suffered from famine, and hoped that the imperial court would provide grain relief!" Cao Cao raised the bamboo slip and threw it to Xiahou Yuan in front of him, "Let's discuss it!" Are we going to give out this food, or are we not going to be out? ”

"Lord, we can't give food!" Xun You frowned, "In this battle, we have completely suffered a dumb loss, if we give out food again, then aren't we wronged?" Can't give food! ”

"Lord!" Guo Jia showed a bitter smile.

"What words do you have about Feng Xiao, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Cao Cao's expression was cold, his eyes were like a wolf and a tiger, and his heavy killing intent was undoubtedly revealed, which made people daunting.

"Lord, I suggest food!"

Guo Jia's remarks caused everyone to scold and vent their dissatisfaction.

"How can this work? Lu Bu made us suffer heavy losses, and now he is still giving him grain and grass? ”

"On the surface, it is for Shouchun, Xuyi and other places, but it is not for Lu Bu to support the people and soldiers? How can you give him food and grass? Have you fed him and let him send troops against us? ”

Cao Cao, who has always valued Guo Jia, couldn't help but have doubts in his heart at this moment, and his eyes stared at Guo Jia like an eagle.

"Why?"
