Chapter 60 The Mandate of Heaven Is Like This, Cao Jun Will Lose This Battle?
Xun Yu's brows couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this scene, Xi Yu stopped talking directly.
He looked at Xun Yu, as if he noticed something, got up and walked towards the other party.
"Is my brother in trouble?"
Xun Yu raised his head and casually handed the book in his hand to Xi Yu.
"In the heavy rain before, the river was washed away, and the grain road from Yanzhou to Xuzhou is now muddy, and now our army's grain road can no longer be transported!"
Xun Yu frowned.
The heavy rain that washed down the river was a bit of a surprise to him.
Even, the entire grain route between Yanzhou and Xuzhou has become impossible to transport, and so on.
It won't be long before Cao Cao and the others in front will be unable to continue to conquer Xuzhou because of the lack of food and grass.
Once there is a problem with grain and grass, if Xuzhou counterattacks, the dozen or so towns that Cao Cao and others have captured now may be in vain.
At that time, Cao Cao and others, if they don't retreat, I am afraid that they will be dragged down by Tao Qian and others in Xuzhou.
This is extremely detrimental to the development of Yanzhou.
"Something is wrong with the grain road?"
Xi Yu flipped through the book in his hand, and the whole person was also a little surprised.
In the original history, Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou did not seem to have problems with the grain route.
Of course, there was a problem with the grain and grass of Cao Jun in history.
On the other hand, the original Cao army was not like it is now, capturing one place and governing another.
Instead, he directly captured more than a dozen towns in one go, and the reason for this was naturally because of the shortage of food and grass, so he could only be forced to accelerate the attack.
Now, of course, everything has changed.
The original record of the historical grain route is no longer important.
At present, Cao's army has abundant grain and grass, and if this expedition fails because of transportation reasons, it will be a bit of a blow to Yanzhou.
Xi Yu, who understood this, couldn't help but frown his brows.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xun Yu: "Brother, is there no other grain route for our army?" ”
Xun Yu subconsciously shook his head.
The grain route from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, to be precise, is now the only one.
It can also be transported by river.
But now that winter is approaching, it won't be long before the river freezes and ships can't move forward.
This is even more time-consuming than overland.
At present, the problem of grain and grass, if we delay for one day, it will be difficult for the day ahead.
This matter cannot be delayed.
Xun Yu had a headache, how could a good person encounter such weather.
Could it be that this is the case with Destiny?
Cao Jun is doomed to lose this battle?
Although the land road can be handled, it will not be long before it will snow, and if this continues, the grain and grass will naturally not be able to be transported.
Xun Yu had already thought of the end that Cao Jun had no choice but to retreat.
If you lose your meal and want to conquer Xuzhou again, you will have to wait for a little longer.
And I don't know how long I have to wait?
"I want to think about it!"
"Is there a topographic map between the two places within the government office?"
Xi Yu casually asked Xun Yu, who naturally understood what the other party meant, and casually found the map and handed it to Xi Yu.
……
Xuzhou, Linyi County!
Some time ago, the heavy rain for several days brought Cao Cao and the others their original high spirits, and they were extinguished in an instant.
At this moment, in the county office, Cao Cao looked at the military report in front of him with a worried face.
Although more than a dozen towns were captured in a row, Cao's army was like a rainbow.
However, the news in the rear military newspaper made Cao Cao somewhat unhappy.
There's a problem with the grain road!
The grain and grass, which was expected to be delivered in three days, were directly shelved until I don't know what time.
At present, the grain and grass that can supply Cao Jun will not last for five days!
The news in the military newspaper is realistic, the rain in the rear has not stopped, the nearby river has been washed away, and the entire grain road has now become an ocean!
This kung fu can't even be done to rest the grain road!
If this delay continues, I am afraid that the 200,000 army will fall here.
And now, with his policy unfolding in these towns.
Cao Jun never affected the people of Xuzhou in the slightest, unless, he forcibly requisitioned grain and grass towards more than a dozen towns!
There is nothing wrong with this, and all the princes of the world do it like this.
However, after doing so, everything they have done before is probably in vain!
Not only Cao Cao was in a hurry, but Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, who had two other ways in their faces, also had numb scalps!
The other side.
Ten days ago.
In Xuzhou City, the three brothers Liu Bei and others, who were invited to help, were gathering with Tao Qian.
"I have long heard of Xuande Gaoyi, but I never thought that the world will help me, only Liu Bei is also!"
Tao Qian took Liu Bei's hand with an enthusiastic face, when the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to Liu Bei.
However, later, after Guan Yu warmed the wine and killed Huaxiong, and Liu Bei's three brothers repelled Lu Bu and became famous all over the world, Tao Qian's vision of Liu Bei was different.
Fortunately, he didn't do any evil to the three brothers at the beginning.
And now that Xuzhou has been attacked by Cao Cao, the princes from all over the country have no helpers, but I didn't expect that the first one to come was Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei only led less than 3,000 soldiers and horses this time!
But the other party came to help, for Tao Qian, it can be said that he hit his heart.
Liu Bei has a good reputation, and he needs such a person in front of him right now.
"Tao Envoy Jun is polite!"
"This time I came to help, for the righteousness of Xuzhou!"
Liu Bei was also a little helpless, after he helped Kong Rong before, he was jealous of the other party and arranged to be stationed in a small place.
Although he is not far from Gongsun Chan, he does not want to be attached to Gongsun Chan.
Dahan is now in decline, and he also wants to make a career.
If you have been condescending to that small area, when will you come out?
In Youzhou, Gongsun Chan is gradually gaining momentum, and Liu Yu is already old, so he can't suppress Gongsun Chan after all.
It won't be long before the entire Youzhou will become Gongsun Zhan's command.
And he, Liu Bei, is naturally unwilling to fight with Gongsun Zhan or something.
He also doesn't want to be controlled by people.
Tao Qian's distress letter came just in time.
On the one hand, Liu Bei himself had good intentions and helped Xuzhou with joy.
On the other hand, this letter from Tao Qian was just the right solution to his predicament at that time.
Leaving from that place, Liu Bei can be regarded as a leap from the sea.
Whether he can show his ambitions depends on his own ability.
It's a hit-and-shoot and the best of both worlds.
In the main hall, Tao Qian warmly entertained Liu Bei, and soon after, the two discussed ways to deal with Cao Cao.
This kung fu, Cao Cao is menacing.
The only thing Liu Bei didn't expect was that he originally thought that Cao's attack on Xuzhou would inevitably cause the lives of the people to be miserable.
However, the situation in front of me seems to be a little different!
