"Lord, for today's plan, we should go east, pursue the victory in one go, defeat the remaining yellow turbans in one fell swoop, and pacify Yanzhou!"

In the big tent, Xi Zhicai gave up his advice.

During this time, Xun Yu was dealing with government affairs in the rear, and most of the battles between Cao Jun and the Yellow Turbans were designated by Xi Zhicai in the rear.

As he spoke, all the generals of Cao Ying nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao laughed.

"Okay, what Zhicai said is right, if there are too many changes today, I can't delay too long to pacify Yanzhou!"

"This time, when you fight, you will succeed!"

In the past half a year, Cao Jun and the Yellow Turban have fought repeatedly, winning more and losing less.

Now, the morale of the entire Cao army is flourishing, and on the Yellow Turban side, because of the autumn harvest and other reasons, the Yellow Turban at this time has completely become the end of the crossbow.

After the strategy was decided, Cao Cao planned to take the initiative to lead the army eastward, and he led a group of generals with Xi Zhicai to pursue the Yellow Turban.

Xi Yu naturally stayed, as Cao Cao's master, until recently, he could be regarded as having some official business to handle.

It's just that there aren't many of these official duties, and it's easy to deal with.

Xun Yu sat in the rear to coordinate grain and grass.

In the next few days, Xi Yu's days still haven't changed much.

Until, more than ten days later, the news of Cao Jun's victory over the Yellow Turban came back.

As is the case in history, at the end of September, Cao Cao's army defeated the remaining Yellow Turban main force in Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

After this battle, the entire Yanzhou was completely pacified.

And Cao Cao also unknowingly gathered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the battle of the Yellow Turbans in the past six months.

Even in the last battle, he collected 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in one go.

At this moment, in the entire territory of Yanzhou, Cao Cao already had 400,000 troops.

After half a year's battle, Cao Cao can be regarded as getting rich in one go.

After collecting more than 300,000 yellow scarves, they were the soldiers of the entire Yanzhou, and their attitude towards Cao Cao began to change completely.

Following, in a short period of time, there are not a few people who come to serve Cao Cao.

Late September.

Cao Cao led the army back, and the army of 400,000 was of course a happy event for Cao Cao.

However, an even more troublesome thing came to his mind.

Grain!

He only cared about swallowing up more than 300,000 Yellow Turban troops in one go, but he ignored the most important point.

That's food.

The Yellow Turban Army couldn't afford to raise the Yellow Turban before, even if he had cut some of it, but now, there are still more than 300,000 soldiers.

Cao Cao was naturally reluctant to accept these people.

However, even if today's autumn harvest is bumper, the grain and grass for the 400,000 army may not last long.

After this winter, if there is no source of food and grass, I am afraid that in less than a year, the more than 300,000 yellow scarves will collapse.

Even, even with him, he will be dragged down.

For more than a month, Cao Cao was about to lose sleep.

Seeing that the time has moved from late autumn to cold winter, with the consumption of 400,000 soldiers, food has begun to become less and less.

Changyi, in Cao Cao's mansion.

With the onset of the depths of winter, it may not be long before snow falls.

Cao Cao's worries were even worse.

In the back hall, Cao Cao, who was baking the stove, couldn't help but sigh.

"Wen Ruo, how long can the grain and grass that our army has at the moment be supplied?"

As Cao Cao asked, Xun Yu, who was sitting next to him, raised his head.

"Back to the lord, the current food and grass of our army will probably be able to support until April next year!"

This is still Xun Yu's careful compression and statistics.

It is not only the 400,000 troops that have to eat in the entire Yanzhou, but also the families of these soldiers, etc., and the consumption of grain and grass is naturally extremely fast.

"April!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, can it only last until April?

Even if you start planting in winter and spring, when the harvest comes, there are still a few months in between, and it is too late.

It's too late!

Of course, the matter of spring planting cannot be delayed in the slightest.

He subconsciously glanced at the actor brother on the side again.

Now in the entire back hall, there are only four of them, and Xi Yu, as Cao Cao's master and strategist, is naturally also present.

Xi Zhicai frowned, the lack of food was very obvious.

Moreover, the situation calculated by Xun Yu is still the situation of these soldiers reducing their training!

But, how can the training of the soldiers be reduced?

If the pattern changes today, if you are not careful, there may be a foreign enemy.

At present, the pacification of Yanzhou is only the first step in the plan, and the next time is to start developing.

At this time, nature cannot let the grain and grass get off the chain.

Xi Yu didn't speak, he knew that Cao Cao in history had no less effort to ask his big brother Yuan Shao for food and grass.

At present, Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, and Yanzhou is on the side.

Cao Cao lives here, and in Yuan Shao's opinion, Cao Cao is still his little brother.

Of course, Yuan Shao will not do anything about giving grain and grass for nothing, and what entanglements there are in this may only be clear to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Xi Yu lowered his head and pondered, Cao Cao's eyes had already fallen on him.

"Fengyi, do you have a plan in your heart?"

Cao Cao just asked casually, and he didn't think that Xi Yu could give him any good answer.

However, hearing Cao Cao's question, Xi Yu subconsciously responded.

"Lord, not only Yanzhou has a bumper harvest this year, but also the entire Han Dynasty, as long as there is spring ploughing, most of them are bumper harvests!"

After several years of disasters, this year can be regarded as a year of good weather.

"I heard that Jizhou is also a bumper harvest!"

Today's Jizhou is the first state in the Han Dynasty, and under this year's bumper harvest, there is no shortage of grain in the entire Jizhou.

What's more, Yuan Shao at the moment is still standing behind the Zhen family in Hebei, and the other party is not short of food.

As soon as the joke was spoken, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.

Jizhou?

Yuan Shao?

Just in an instant, Cao Cao understood that Xi Yu was asking him to go to Yuan Shao for food!

It's easy to do.

The relationship between him and Yuan Shao is still excellent, and his previous Dongjun Taishou was also listed by Yuan Shao.

"Haha, Fengyi woke me up, I can ask Yuan Benchu to borrow some food, I think he won't refuse."

"After that, I'm sending people to other states to buy some food, and I don't think it's a big problem!"

After thinking about it, the depression accumulated in Cao Cao's heart dispersed a lot.

"Right now, it's time to start winter and spring ploughing, what are the best plans for this matter?"

Where did Yuan Shao get grain, it is not difficult to support the autumn harvest next year.

However, the next most important thing is the matter of spring ploughing, once there is a problem with spring ploughing, when the time comes, the 400,000 army will become a disaster. 、
