Chapter 168: Northern Expedition to Jizhou

In the face of Shi Lian's ridicule, Fu Zhi just smiled and shook his head, "The matter of money and food is not so simple. ”

"And the reason why I said that if I want to break the imperial court, I must start with money and food first, is because the emperor actually paid the soldiers."

"Do you think the two of you are stable in the military spirit that is enveloped by money and food?"

"What do you think will happen if you run out of money?"

The expressions of Zhao Fu and Shi Jian gradually became serious.

"It's going to be self-defeating!" Zhao Fu said.

沮授点了点头,“是啊,这就是朝廷的致命之伤! Without the backing of abundant money and food, those soldiers who fought bravely and allowed the imperial court to conquer Yanzhou in just half a year will become the last talisman of the Han Dynasty. ”

"The collapse of the anthill will inevitably start from the inside!"

After taking a sip of wine, the words suddenly changed, "But I heard that the imperial court has begun to settle in Yanzhou, although I don't know how they are tuntian, but this may be the imperial court's remedy." ”

Zhao Fu, Shi Lian: ......

"I see that you still don't make sense after talking about it for a long time." Zhao Fu shook his head and scolded.

Fu Zhu chuckled, "But I always feel that the imperial court may not be able to survive this year." Tuntian, you have to let the grain grow in the field, right? This year, it looks like autumn is approaching, no matter how hard the imperial court works in the fields, it will definitely be impossible to dig out the grain from the land this winter. ”

A little hope appeared in Shi Lian's eyes again, "So, we still have hope of victory?" ”

"You mean to stand up to Yuan Shao?" Frustrated and asked, looking at Shi Lian obliquely.

Shi Lian's head drooped, and he said weakly: "The words of Zhou Mu and Min Chun make me feel very unsure, I also want to take refuge in the imperial court, but what if the emperor does not avoid our sins?" At that time, there will be no soldiers and horses, and we will only be killed. ”

Zhao Fu nodded.

He is now concerned about the same thing.

Yuan Shao They don't want to recognize, but is there a better choice besides Yuan Shao?

Fu Zhu saw the intentions of these two people, and said: "Whether it can be defeated or not, this is another matter, but the imperial court must attack Jizhou urgently." No matter who Jizhou Mu is, as long as he does not surrender, the imperial court will inevitably mobilize troops in the autumn of this year. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Zhao Fu asked.

Frustrated, he shook his head and said, "It's still what I just said, for food!" ”

"Jizhou has the food that the imperial court needs, two of you, can you do this battle without fighting?"

Zhao Fu and Shi Jian were almost stunned by frustration.

"If you want to defeat the imperial court, you need to start with money and grain, and the court attacked Jizhou because of money and grain, you can really do it. If it weren't for the fact that I still have this thing around my neck, I almost don't know what you're going to say. Zhao Fu scolded.

"As long as the imperial court is cut off from money and food, Jizhou will be stable." "Lure the enemy deep and attack it with tired troops, and you may be able to defeat yourself." ”

He picked up the wine jar and said, "I see you two reckless men, don't think about these things, and you can't figure it out, why waste your energy?" It's better to eat and drink and talk seriously. ”

"What we think about is our own lives!" Zhao Fu grinned and laughed at himself.

……

Dongjun, Liaocheng.

It's a slightly boring city, with lush greenery and mountains and rivers, but it always feels a little empty and dry.

The dwellings in this city are much larger than those in Guanzhong, and the dry yellow adobe houses are neatly arranged, giving people the feeling of standing on the wilderness at a glance, without the filling of bright colors, making it look very monotonous.

Liu Wei convened the civil and military forces in the government office and held a small court meeting.

At this time, it is the third pole of the sun, the most refreshing and sunny time of the day.

"Sitting in Yecheng at the moment, whether it is Han Fu or Yuan Shao, this battle must be fought, not only to fight, but also to fight as soon as possible!" Liu Wei sat on the dragon chair, playing with two iron balls in his hand to exercise his wrist strength.

A good image of a young emperor, after adding those two iron balls, he looks a little like the king of the mountain.

But Liu Wei can't control that much.

Recently, there have been more and more recitals that need his approval, so that he has no time to train.

Then just seize any available time to do some proper training.

"I think it should be done as soon as possible." Xun Yu said, "Regardless of whether Yuan Shao succeeds in entering Jizhou at this moment, Jizhou is bound to be a time when people's hearts are unstable now. ”

All the ministers bowed their heads in agreement.

After Xun Yuyi explained, no one raised objections, and the matter was settled.

"Then let's talk about the vanguard general!" Liu Wei went straight to the next project.

At this moment, there are no generals in this government office except for Zhu Jun.

To put it simply, this is the pre-war deliberations of a court think tank, setting the general direction and strategy.

"Cao Hong and Zhang Ji jointly said that Lu Bu, Yu Fuluo and Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang are all active in the western region of Wei County, and the candidates for this vanguard general must be able to beat these three in terms of combat power." Xun You got up and said.

"Your Majesty, the candidate for this vanguard general, depending on the ministers, can be directly served by the four generals Cao Hong, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Xiahou Yuan, and the court can send another overseer to mediate." Chen Lin said, "It just so happens that these four generals are stationed in Nie County at the moment, and they also went deep into Wei County to fight with Lu Bu and others, and they are familiar with the enemy's situation. ”

"Then don't bother, you go directly!" Liu Wei raised his hand, and Chen Lin was promoted to overseer on the spot.

Chen Lin: ???

He was a little confused.

I was just a suggestion, but I didn't want to let myself go.

Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Xiu are acceptable, but Cao Hong and Zhang Ji have two violent tempers, and he is afraid that he will die of exhaustion on the way to persuade him.

Overseers, that's the work of the wearing man.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the minister won't be able to do it......" After thinking about it for a while, Chen Lin felt that he couldn't do it.

He was a little flustered now just thinking of Cao Hong and Zhang Ji's posture of picking up their weapons when they didn't agree with each other.

"I believe in you, and I will be able to handle this matter." Liu Wei said, "Then I will have 3,000 crossbowmen and 200 crossbows with you, and I will make a force of 15,000." First of all, destroy Lu Bu's bad seed in Wei County! ”

Chen Lin was so depressed that he wanted to die.

Such a simple thing, Xun You and Jia Xu must have thought of it a long time ago.

As a result, they didn't even say anything, but asked him to say it.

Chen Lin now has very reason to suspect that they just knew that the emperor would order troops at will at will, so they held back and didn't say anything.

It's so terrible, every time he runs errands, he can't even hide!

Helpless, Chen Lin had no choice but to take over the errand.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the smile on the corner of Er Xun's mouth.

Sure enough!

Chen Lin's teeth were a little uncomfortable when he was angry.

He's like an idiot!

"Since the vanguard army came out from the west, then the Chinese army will go straight to Yecheng, who can be the main general?" Liu Wei asked.

Chen Lin immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, attacking Yecheng requires an old general, or an overseer. The minister thought that General Xun could be the overseer, and led the three generals Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Duan Xuan, and ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"No!" Xun Yu retorted, "In this way, there are too few soldiers and horses around Your Majesty. ”
