The middle of the second lunar month!

Since the beginning of spring, the whole Yanzhou, to be precise, most of the states of Dahan, the spring ploughing of the new year has begun.

Cao Cao had already begun to plan an attack on Xuzhou, and the whole of Yanzhou was like a large machine in motion, and every second counted.

In addition to inspecting the spring ploughing ground as usual, Xi Yu was still training the soldiers of the baggage battalion for the rest of the time.

The current training intensity is a little weaker than before, but the intensity is still stronger than that of other large battalions.

And at this moment, in the barracks, there are not a few wild people who are raised.

In a month's time, the wild man who was castrated at the beginning is now a lot fatter.

"After this morning's end, let's kill those fat and strong wild babes!"

Looking at the soldiers who were still a little struggling in training, Xi Yu thought about it and decided to take advantage of this time to directly supplement the food for the soldiers.

Those adult wild birds, after a period of storage, are almost ready to be slaughtered.

Except for those piglets that can continue to be farmed, there is no need for these adult wild birds to continue breeding.

Kill the trouble.

"Can you really eat wild meat?"

Dian Wei was a little unconvinced, and after hearing that Xi Yu was going to kill those wild boys to replenish the meat for everyone, Dian Wei shook his head like a rattle.

Zhao Yun didn't have any opinions.

The firehead army of the baggage battalion did not have much resistance to what Xi Yu ordered.

Although the wild meat is a little fishy, it is also meat after all, and the entire military camp has not eaten meat for a long time.

The brothers' training now is a little unsupportable.

Having a meat supplement is better than not having it.

The process of killing the pig went extremely smoothly, and after just a few heart-rending wails, the series of processes was over.

The men in the camp were all veterans, and they were very good at swordsmanship, and soon the pork had been divided.

Xi Yu commanded the other party and began to deal with the pork problem.

In a short time, the pork has been processed.

Subsequently, he led a few men to personally tell each other how to make pork delicious.

Although there are not many spices and the like in this era, there are still some of them.

Although the process of boiling meat in white water is extremely simple, the processed pork does not have much smell.

When the aroma of pork began to echo in the camp, the soldiers had already left their saliva behind.

"Goo-dong!"

Dian Wei's throat couldn't help rolling, and he couldn't help but beat wildly as he looked at the large piece of pork that had been distributed into his bowl.

Didn't you say that the pork was a little sour, why did it smell so good now?

The rest of the soldiers couldn't help it for a long time, and after this kung fu pork was divided, after all, someone couldn't help but taste it first.

As the first person began to eat pork, the second followed by the third.

The sound of smashing bars and mouths in the camp was endless.

It wasn't until Dian Wei looked up and saw Zhao Yun squinting and starting to eat pork, that the whole person couldn't hold back anymore.

After the fatty meat was stuffed in the mouth, the imaginary stench did not appear.

It's even a little soft and glutinous, and the entrance is extremely creamy.

Before Dian Wei could taste the taste, his throat rolled down uncontrollably, and the pork in his mouth had already rolled down his throat.

"This?"

"How?"

Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at Dian Wei, who was a little stunned, and the latter's eyes were obviously stunned at the moment.

The look on that face is extraordinarily wonderful.

"Is this really a piece of meat?"

Dian Wei couldn't believe that if he hadn't watched those people kill the master with his own eyes, he would have basically watched the subsequent series of processes with his own eyes.

Otherwise, it would be hard for him to believe that he had just eaten pork in his mouth at the moment.

However, the explosion on his taste buds was so tempting that he was still in a trance.

"Didn't I say it, as long as pork is handled properly, it is a very delicious thing, when did I lie to you!"

Xi Yu smiled and said to Dian Wei, the pork killed in the camp is divided by 3,000 people, but in fact, there is not much in each person's bowl.

Seeing that Dian Wei didn't seem to have tasted it, Xi Yu took out the pieces of meat from his bowl and put them in Dian Wei's bowl.

"Try it again?"

Seeing Xi Yu put the pork in his bowl, Dian Wei didn't hesitate, this time after he put it in his mouth, he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Wild Biao can eat!

It even tastes better than beef!

Such a thing quickly spread in the barracks!

At first, there were many people who didn't believe it, but they brought 3,000 people to start publicizing it, and even the smell of meat cooked in the baggage camp had already wafted to other camps.

And then the things started to get on faster.

"Can you really eat it?"

In the camp, Cao Cao heard the news transmitted in the Cao camp now, and even he was in a trance for a while.

However, this should be true.

Thinking that Xi Yu had worked hard to get these wild boars and raised them, he knew that the wild boars could be eaten.

But, is it really as delicious as rumored to be?

Not even beef.

Cao Cao didn't believe in such a thing!

However, the pork thing is just an episode after all.

After the spring ploughing began, the Cao army camp had already begun to plan the war against Xuzhou.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan had already returned to Xuzhou in their early years, waiting for Cao Cao's army to regroup and set off.

The whole of Xuzhou seems to be in a rumor because of this.

Inside the camp of the Cao army.

"Fengyi, do you have to go with the army in this battle?"

After getting ready, Cao Cao asked Xi Yu if he wanted to go to Xuzhou with the army.

"The lord forgot, this time I am in charge of the baggage camp, I will naturally follow to Xuzhou, but this time it should be the lord first!"

Hearing Xi Yu's response, Cao Cao seemed to come back to his senses.

"Oh, I almost forgot, now Fengyi is in charge of the baggage camp!"

"Since Fengyi is responsible for the matter of grain and grass, I don't have to worry about it!"

According to the original plan, when the army was conquering in this era, the grain and grass were all one step ahead, but because of the appearance of wheelbarrows and other things that transported grain and grass.

Xi Yu was not in a hurry to set off first.

The next day, after Cao Cao took Xi Zhicai to lead the army, he was still in Yanzhou to check on spring ploughing and other things in a hurry.

If he remembers correctly, the history books record that in the first year of Xingping, there was a great drought in the world, and it was even worse in Guanzhong.

This drought has caused the most serious damage in the Sili area, and even Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other states have suffered losses.

At present, there is no need to worry too much about spring plowing in Yanzhou, there are things like waterwheels, it is a big drought, and Yanzhou will not have a problem to ensure the harvest.

……

Yanzhou Chenliu!

Hearing that Cao Cao's army had set off, Zhang Miao's mood at this moment was unprecedentedly high.

"Gongtai, we still need to be cautious!"

After saying a word to Chen Gong, Zhang Miao was a little more nervous than before.

Now Cao Cao's army has set out to prove that he does not suspect him, and only needs to wait for the war in Xuzhou to start.

When the plan goes well, seizing Yanzhou should not be a problem.

"Recently, I have contacted the Yanzhou scholars, and they have a long-standing grudge against Cao Cao."

"As long as we can do it, the entire Yanzhou will change hands in a short period of time, and Cao Cao will be powerless to return to heaven at that time!"

Chen Gong smiled and helped a few strands of beard on his chin, and his eyes seemed to shine again.

"Lu Bu's side is also ready, for now, we just need to wait for the opportunity!"

……

Xuzhou!

When Cao Cao set off from Yanzhou, the whole of Xuzhou received the news as soon as possible.

Tao Qian, who was originally busy entrusting Xuzhou to Liu Bei, was already eager to entrust Xuzhou to Liu Bei as soon as possible.

However, Liu Bei did not accept his entrustment at the first time.

On the contrary, Liu Bei earnestly refused to accept it, saying that he was only invited to help, not to plot Xuzhou.

In this regard, although Tao Qian wanted to hand over Xuzhou to the other party, he was also a little helpless.

Inside the city of Xiapi.

"Big brother, the envoy has prepared the Xuzhou Great Seal for you, why do you refuse to accept it?"

Zhang Fei was a little puzzled by Liu Bei's failure to take over the Great Seal.

That Tao Qian clearly wanted to entrust Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and even his words and deeds didn't seem to be a lie at all.

Why is his eldest brother unwilling?

"Big brother, what the third brother said is very true, since Tao Yuanjun is willing to entrust Xuzhou to you, why is An unwilling to accept the appointment?"

The matter entrusted to Xuzhou before, Guan Yu only thought it was a rumor.

I never thought that after meeting Tao Qian, the other party intended to entrust Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

With such news from the other party, Guan Zhang and the others were naturally extremely happy.

Originally, they followed Liu Bei everywhere, but now they can be regarded as having their own territory.

Xuzhou is a good place, if his eldest brother can really be appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou, then the two of them will naturally rise to the top.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Liu Bei didn't mean to accept Tao Qian's humility at all.

Guan Yu could see that the eldest brother at home really didn't want the position of Xuzhou at this time.

With such a good opportunity, Guan Yu was also a little puzzled.

"Hey!"

Liu Bei glanced at his two brothers and sighed casually.

"At present, Cao Cao's heart to die in Xuzhou is not dead, some time ago, the spies came to report that Cao Cao has led the army out of Yanzhou, and the army will come to Xuzhou in a few days!"

"Now in crisis, how can Brother Wei take over Xuzhou at this time?"

Tao Qian's feelings are sincere, and Liu Bei naturally knows it.

It's just that at this time, he really can't receive the big seal of Xuzhou.

If he had received the Great Seal and had not arrived at Cao Cao's attack, wouldn't it have been in vain.

What's more, when he took over Xuzhou at this time, he thought he was taking advantage of the danger of others!

Liu Bei was unwilling, and Guan Zhang and the others didn't say anything in the end.

The other side.

Since Cao Cao led the army to the expedition, Xi Yu has sorted out the grain and grass and is ready to set off.

"Zilong, this time you will stay in Yanzhou, don't tell anyone else about the trail you took Xiang Yong out of some time ago!"

Two days before spring ploughing, after determining Cao Cao's preparation for the expedition, Xi Yu was somewhat wary of Lu Bu.

Although he can stifle this matter, there is some instability in Yanzhou after all.

If it weren't for that, with the planning of Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to leave only three counties.

After thinking about it, Xi Yu still planned to go with the flow and take advantage of the chaos in Yanzhou to completely pull out those internal chaotic factors.

With Xun Yu and Cheng Yu here, at least we can ensure that Juancheng will not miss.

In this way, you can give it a go.

The chaos in Yanzhou can also make Cao Cao see something clearly, which is not a bad thing.

Cao Cao is too anxious at the moment, whether it is pacifying Yanzhou or attacking Xuzhou, everything is a little too smooth.

This defeat may calm Cao Cao.

However, it was naturally impossible for Xi Yu to sit back and watch Lu Bu enter Xuzhou, he had already asked Zhao Yun to take people to explore the surrounding terrain.

There is a trail that leads directly to Puyang.

There is such a back road, and it will be simple to clean up Lu Bu when the time comes.

"Sir, rest assured!"

Zhao Yun nodded.

He glanced at Xi Yu with some gratitude.

This time Cao Jun attacked Xuzhou, Xi Yu didn't plan to take him, perhaps because he cared about Liu Bei and others.

If he followed the army into Xuzhou, he would inevitably run into Liu Bei.

At that time, Zhao Yun will be somewhat in a dilemma.

This time Xi Yu arranged for him to stay in Yanzhou, which was exactly what Zhao Yun wanted.

As for the trail that led directly to Puyang before, although Zhao Yun didn't know what Mr. meant.

But Zhao Yun is not an eventful person.

He just needs to know that the gentleman is useful.

Xi Yu nodded, and after instructing Zhao Yun, he ordered Dian Wei to take the soldiers of the baggage battalion to take the first step.

Of course, the training along the way cannot be delayed.

Today's baggage camp, because of the supplement of meat, can be added to the weekday training.

At present, there is no difficulty in transporting grain, and it is not a problem to add tension to the grain transportation.

By the way, Xi Yu also planned to take the baggage battalion to clean up the mountain bandits in Yanzhou along the way.

……

Early March!

Cao Cao led the army to Xuzhou, which was originally a little calm, but with Cao Cao's arrival, the atmosphere seemed to have become depressed again.

As for the areas that had been collected by the Cao army, before the Cao army arrived, these towns were inevitably agitating for a turnaround.

But with the arrival of Cao Cao's army, such news was suppressed in an instant.

Cao's soldiers and horses were strong, and these people didn't dare to show any signs at this time.

At the same time, Xi Yu on the other side also began to slowly press the weight towards Xuzhou.

"Ma Teng has arrived in Chang'an?"

Shortly after departing from Yanzhou, Xi Yu received a letter from Xun Yu from Yanzhou.

The content of the letter only said that Ma Teng of Liangzhou arrived in Chang'an with a large army, and it seemed that he wanted to meet Emperor Xian.

And not long after Ma Teng arrived in Chang'an, the situation in the entire Sili region seemed to become more tense in an instant.

Ma Teng led a large army to garrison on the bridge, and with Ma Teng's arrival, Li Dao, who originally controlled the Sili region, naturally couldn't bear it.

Ma Teng threatened to meet Emperor Xian, but was rejected by Li Dao at the first time.

Li Dao naturally couldn't agree to let Ma Teng see Emperor Xian casually.

If it was just a few people from Ma Teng, Li Dao probably wouldn't refuse this kind of thing, but who let Ma Teng come with a large army!

If this is to let the other party see the emperor, the prince will come over in the future, will he have to let the other party see the emperor.

So what is he?

Li Wei repeatedly refused Ma Teng's request to see him, and Ma Teng became a little annoyed when he followed.

Immediately after him, he joined forces with Ma Yu in the middle of the service, Liu Fan in Zuo Zhonglang, Chong Shao in the counselor, and Du Yu in Zhonglang to join forces.

There is a tendency to fight with Li Dao.

After reading the news of Chang'an, Xi Yu didn't take it to heart, and the matter of Ma Teng and Li Dao was not a big deal.

If memory serves, although the two fought later, Ma Teng was defeated by Li Dao in the end.

In short, Ma Teng followed Han Sui and the two fled back to Liangzhou in disgrace.

Picked up the second letter sent by Xun Yu.

Xi Yu opened it again.

This time, the content is a little simpler, and it is about Huainan Yuanshu.

Since Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao last year, the other party has obviously become much more honest and has no intention of attacking Yanzhou.

It was because of Liu Biao that Yuan Shu's eye thorn was completely replaced by Liu Biao.

And Sun Ce, who is under his command, doesn't seem to have much movement for the time being.

Since Sun Jian's death, all the people and horses under his original command are now controlled by Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce seemed to want to ask Yuan Shu for it, but the other party didn't pay attention to Sun Ce at all.

casually gave the other party a job title, so that he could recruit troops and buy horses in his territory, and sent Sun Ce away.

"Hasn't Sun Ce come up yet?"

After Xi Yu saw the contents of the letter, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and then thought of the result.

It seems that Sun Ce has not given the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shu at this time, and at this time, Yuan Shu's attitude towards the other party is obviously not important.

By the time Sun Ce gave the jade seal to Yuan Shu, it was time for Sun Ce to almost break away from Yuan Shu and start to set up his own door.

However, after all, Sun Ce died young, and the other party was not taken to heart by Xi Yu at all, and the reason why he paid attention to Sun Ce was that he just wanted to see when Zhou Yu would come out.

At the moment, there was no movement on Sun Ce's side, and Xi Yu naturally didn't pay too much attention.

There was nothing else in Xun Yu's letter, and after thinking about it, Xi Yu still decided to write a letter back to Xun Yu.

Regarding Lu Bu's matter, he thought about it and still had to remind Xun Yu.

[Brother Wenruo, see the letter like a meeting! ]

The heavy camp led by Yudu is close to Xuzhou, and it is expected that the battle of Xuzhou will start in a few days!

I have a word for my brother today!

I saw Chen Liuzhang Miao before, and I also investigated this person in Chen Palace, and noticed that the two of them were colluding with Lu Bu, who was temporarily living in Hanoi.

……

Yu is worried that he has a plan for Yanzhou, and he hopes that his brother will pay attention to it! 】

In the end, Xi Yu still planned to inform Xun Yu of what he knew, although Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were complete in the original history to ensure that Juancheng was not safe.

But, what hasn't happened yet, who knows if there will be other variables.

After thinking about it, Xi Yu still sent a letter to Xun Yu.

"Send this letter back to Juancheng quickly, and be sure to hand it over to Jun Sima!"

After handing the letterhead to the envoy in the army, Xi Yu looked up into the distance.

The spring breeze is blowing, and in the fields in the distance, the people who are busy farming are bent over one by one.

Someone is ploughing the land with a curved plow.
