Chapter Ninety-Three: After so many battles, can't you let me rest and rest?
I don't know when the wind blowing from the south picked up.
The wind seemed to want to blow the smell of blood away from the air.
However, the blood on the gallop was already soaked in the ground, and the bright red color was under the whistling of the wind, and there was a trace of waves.
Maybe a rainstorm will wash away the bright red in front of you.
It's just that in today's world, I don't know how many of them are dyed red like this.
Although the rain can wash the ground clean again, it can't change what happened on the ground.
The baggage camp rested again, and Xi Yu didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Liao and others.
After instructing Zhao Yun to take people to bring Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others back to Yanzhou, the soldiers of the baggage battalion, under the command of Xi Yu, dug a pit and buried the corpses left over from the battle.
Summer had arrived, and the corpses had been exposed to the wilderness, too much for the plague to breed in this era.
And for this era, the plague was almost deadly.
By the time it was getting dark, the corpses had been disposed of.
Now that the troubles of Chen Gong and others have been solved, Xi Yu's heart can't help but feel a lot more soothed.
Without Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others, the rest of Yanzhou would be chaotic, and there would be no source.
Those Yanzhou scholars who only know how to sway the wall, Xi Yu will not take it to heart at all.
The rest of the matter only needs to be solved more easily after Cao Cao returns from Xuzhou.
Without any worries, Xi Yu's mood became extraordinarily relaxed, and even the entire baggage camp seemed to be a little happier.
The night passed quietly.
Counting the speed of Zhao Yun and the others, Xi Yu took the baggage battalion and started to set out on the road to Xuzhou again.
On the evening of the second day, when Xi Yu and the people of the baggage battalion were resting temporarily on the official road, from the official road in the direction of Xuzhou, the sound of war horses galloping suddenly came again.
The voice was loud.
It looks like it's on a quick march.
Such a big movement made the baggage battalion, which had just experienced the battle, react immediately.
The aura of slaughter began to permeate.
Xi Yu also rearranged his clothes and walked out of the camp tent that had just been set up.
Dian Wei on the side had already held the double halberd in his hand, and the horizontal flesh of that body was trembling slightly.
"Sir, it's probably the thief again!"
Dian Wei hummed, he didn't have the slightest fatigue about the battle.
On the contrary, Dian Wei at this moment is full of fighting spirit.
Xi Yu was a little speechless.
How could so many changes happen to the transportation of grain and grass this time, first Lu Bu led people to loot grain and grass, followed by Chen Gong and others.
Now, who is it?
From Xuzhou?
Could it be that the soldiers of Xuzhou learned the news that he was going to send grain and grass to Cao Operation?
It wasn't a surprise to learn about the grain transportation, but this kind of thing still annoyed him.
The twilight had begun to darken.
Xi Yu ordered people to reduce the torches around them a lot, and the sound of war horses in the distance still did not stop.
The scouts of the baggage battalion immediately went over to find out the information of the comer.
The entire baggage battalion had already begun to take precautions.
In the hazy night, the surroundings seemed a little quieter.
The sound of insects chirping in the fields in the distance was extremely obvious in such a situation.
Throughout the camp, the atmosphere was depressing.
Until, the sound of the returning Tanma shouting loudly began to sound.
"It's a friendly army, it's a friendly army!"
What Xi Yu didn't expect was that Cao Cao personally led people from Xuzhou.
When they saw Cao Cao again, both sides seemed to be a little surprised.
Across the treetops in the distance, the slightly round glowing moon still hangs.
Cao Cao's face looked a little tired, as if he hadn't rested well in days.
It's a little more tiring than the baggage battalion that has gone through two battles.
Looking at Cao Cao in front of him, Xi Yu's brows couldn't help but pick up slightly.
Under the moonlight, Cao Cao at this moment was dressed in bright armor, pressing the sword at his waist with one hand.
"Fengyi!"
Cao Cao shouted at Xi Yu, and in this sound, the tiredness was fully revealed.
"Looking at my brother's face, I'm a little worried!"
Cao Cao is here now, and it is obvious that the other party is worried about the situation in Yanzhou.
Xi Yu didn't directly say that there was no problem in Yanzhou.
He didn't remind Chen Gong and others about it, and when Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, the other party would naturally know.
If he said it now, Cao Cao might not return to Yanzhou this time.
Even, this guy may take himself to Xuzhou with him.
Seeing Cao Cao now, Xi Yu is actually planning to return to Yanzhou.
As for the matter of sending food, say hello to Cao Cao and let Dian Wei escort him over, or the people behind Cao Cao will transport it back.
"How's going on in Yanzhou?"
After seeing the drama, Cao Cao's somewhat tired expression finally eased a little.
He looked at Xi Yu and asked without hesitation.
Seeing Cao Cao's hopeful look, Xi Yu immediately shook his head at the other party.
"Temporarily stable, those Yanzhou scholars are nothing!"
"This rebellion of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, my brother should already know about it, right?"
In the temporary tent, Xi Yu and Cao Cao sat opposite each other in front of a desk, and the freshly poured tea on the table was slowly emitting white smoke.
"Hey!"
Cao Cao sighed, his eyes looked at Xi Yu, and he felt a little guilty.
He didn't expect that the friend he thought in his heart would choose to rebel at this time.
And it is precisely because of his relationship with Zhang Miao.
As a result, although Xi Yu noticed that something was wrong before, he adhered to the relationship between the two and chose to hide it.
Until now, when things happened, everything had to rely on the arrangements made before the show.
If it weren't for Xi Yu's reminder to Xun Yu and others in advance, Cao Cao didn't dare to think about what Yanzhou would be like now.
There is no joke.
At this moment, he is in Xuzhou, and by the time he reacts, I am afraid that the entire Yanzhou has become someone else's wedding dress.
And Yanzhou, which has been working hard for more than a year, will have nothing left by then.
Perhaps, even with him, I am afraid that there will be nowhere to stay at that time.
At that time, how to settle the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his hands.
There is no supply, plus the attack on both sides of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, I'm afraid!
Cao Cao didn't dare to think that if it really came to that point, he was afraid that he would be like a lost dog.
And the reason for all this is all due to him.
Fortunately, there is Xi Yu, if there is no Xi Yu, he can't imagine that result, how he should deal with it.
"Thanks to Fengyi!"
"I thank you for this!"
Cao Cao bowed to Xi Yu with a straight face.
He can come to this point, and Xi Yu is already an indispensable existence for him.
And the other party's help to him cannot be ignored in the slightest.
"Brother doesn't need to say thank you, there are some things that I should do!"
Xi Yu looked at the tea cup in front of him, the water temperature was still there, and the tea was crystal clear.
The candle flame next to the two of them flickered, and the figure that came out of the reflection also swayed.
Cao Cao smiled.
"Fengyi, if there is such a thing in the future, you must inform me in advance no matter what, no matter when, I will believe you!"
This is a loud voice.
Xi Yu didn't care much.
Boss Cao just showed his mentality, it's nothing, and anyone who happens like this will express it.
"I have already made arrangements before, with Brother Wenruo and others in Juancheng, the rear is fine, and my brother doesn't have to worry about it!"
"Seeing that my brother is in a hurry this time, I don't know what the situation of Xuzhou is?"
Regarding the arrangements of Yanzhou, Xi Yu explained to Cao Cao, and then asked the other party about the current situation in Xuzhou.
Knowing that Yanzhou was safe for the time being, Cao Cao began to tell about the situation in Xuzhou.
"As Fengyi said, today's Xuzhou, our army can't swallow it in one breath!"
"Although Tao Qian is not worthy of attention, Liu Xuande should not be underestimated!"
"What I didn't expect was that this person had only been in Xuzhou for less than a year, and he had already accumulated a lot of popularity!"
"Now those Xuzhou scholars still regard it as a life-saving straw!"
"And Liu Xuande is also a person with some ability."
"The people of Xuzhou have praised it, what we have done before has made that Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao sighed with emotion.
Because of the existence of Liu Bei, Xuzhou today has still become a bone that is difficult to bite.
It's not something that can be captured overnight.
Cao Jun and Xuzhou Jun are temporarily stalemate, although they have some advantages, but if they want to completely defeat Xuzhou and take Xuzhou, it is not something that can be done in a short time.
Of course, if he broke his teeth and insisted on gnawing this bone, it would not be impossible.
It's just that in that way, Cao Jun will naturally lose some, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to set off any big war in a short time.
And what's worse is that just when Cao Cao is hesitant about it.
The news of the Yanzhou rebellion came, and this news was not a big blow to Cao Ying.
On the contrary, for Xuzhou, it is like a shot in the arm.
Such a change made Cao Cao feel like a fish in his throat.
I can't swallow this breath!
Zhang Miao, it's really damned!
"This time, I have already let Zhicai stay in Xuzhou, and Cao Ren and the others have all listened to Zhicai's orders!"
"Xuzhou is okay for the time being, but I'm more worried about Yanzhou!"
Yanzhou is his basic plate, and there must be no problems in the rear.
Only when Yanzhou is stable and Cao Jun deals with Xuzhou can he have no worries.
"Well, in this case, I will return to Yanzhou with my brother tomorrow, as for the matter of grain and grass, I will let Dian Wei send it to the front hand!"
Looking at Cao Cao, Xi Yu casually said his thoughts.
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded.
He has no opinion on this matter, and letting Xi Yu deal with such a thing as transporting grain is overkill.
The other party followed him back to Yanzhou to deal with the affairs of Yanzhou, which made Cao Cao feel more at ease.
"That's right!"
Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao, his voice suddenly paused, and he got up and looked out of the uncovered tent.
The moonlight was very bright, and outside, a cool breeze blew in.
Now that summer has entered, Xi Yu thinks of the disaster that will happen in the near future.
Under the severe drought, I am afraid that there will be large-scale victims in various places.
Now is the time to think about it.
"Big brother, have you noticed that it hasn't rained for a long time?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly said that it was raining, Cao Cao was a little surprised, and the two were talking about Yanzhou and Xuzhou just now.
At this juncture, how did Fengyi suddenly get involved in the weather!
Could it be that the weather has affected the war lately?
Thinking like this, Cao Cao's brows couldn't help but wrinkle, he got up and walked out of the camp with Xi Yu.
The two of them stood and looked at the sky in unison.
The moonlight was bright in the sky, and you could see faint stars dotting the surroundings.
"It's true that I haven't seen rain in a while, but Fengyi can stargaze?"
"Sort of!"
Xi Yu sighed, and then turned his head to look at Cao Cao.
"Big brother, I expect that in the near future, there will be a large-scale drought in all major states, including Yanzhou!"
"Brother should prepare early!"
The Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred because at that time, the Han Dynasty suffered from drought for many years.
The people everywhere can no longer live, but the wealthy families do not pay the slightest attention to the feelings of these people.
It is precisely because of this that under the leadership of Zhang Jiao and others, the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion was able to sweep the entire Han Dynasty in one go.
The people in the drought just want to live!
But there are many weather changes in this era, but there is no way to change it.
Xi Yu has seen some analysis in later generations.
From ancient times to the present, the situation in the last years of each dynasty and the reason for the change of weather is very important.
At the height of the dynasty, the population skyrocketed.
At the end of the year, the population declined.
On the one hand, it was because of the war, but more importantly, in the last years, the dynasty at that time could not support so many people.
The changes in the weather are intensifying, and the war is the mutual consumption of human beings in desperation.
"Drought?"
Cao Cao was stunned, that is, it had not rained for a while, and Xi Yu actually said that a major drought might occur in the near future.
Moreover, this drought still extends to the entire Han world.
In just an instant, Cao Cao thought of the years before the Yellow Turban, and at that time, what the drought situation in various places was like.
Refugees are everywhere, and they are easy to eat.
Couldn't help it, Cao Cao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Fengyi, are you sure?"
"Brother still made plans early, and now the situation in Yanzhou has irrigation tools such as waterwheels!"
"Although this drought is serious, the loss in Yanzhou will not be too serious!"
"But, because of this, there were probably not a few refugees between various places at that time!"
"Brother, this is also an opportunity!"
In the aftermath of a drought, refugees instinctively move in the direction they can survive.
And by that time, places like Yanzhou will naturally attract more refugees.
Although these refugees will increase the burden on Yanzhou, they can also bring about a population explosion in Yanzhou.
Just wait to bear these populations.
In a few years, there will be one million soldiers in Yanzhou, and it will not be any problem.
With Xi Yu's prompt, Cao Cao quickly understood what the other party meant, and in just an instant, his eyes lit up.
"As Fengyi said, it is time to prevent problems before they happen!"
The two of them didn't say anything more, and the night gradually began to darken.
The full moon moved quietly, and in the distance above the sky, in the middle of the night, there were several sounds of the names of the birds.
Xi Yu slept peacefully with the crow's song.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, a bright light rose on the ground, revealing a touch of fish belly white above the sky.
Xi Yu got up early as usual, and Cao Cao also got up early.
At this time, Cao Cao's complexion recovered a lot, probably because the worries in his heart had dispersed a little.
Xi Yu casually instructed Dian Wei to continue to Xuzhou with the baggage battalion, while he followed Cao Cao and his personal guard battalion to return to Yanzhou.
The two sides were separated in a short time.
Cao Cao was in a hurry to return to Yanzhou, and the speed of his return was much faster than that of Xi Yu before.
He doesn't have any opinion on this, and it is not bad for him to return to Juancheng as soon as possible.
With Cao Cao returning to Yanzhou, Cao Cao can solve the rest of the entire Yanzhou by himself, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
He's been able to rest for a while.
The return journey took less than a day.
On the afternoon of the second day, Cao Cao and Xi Yu had already arrived outside Juancheng.
And with the news of Cao Cao's return with his troops, the situation in the entire Yanzhou seemed to have begun to change in an instant.
……
As early as the day before Cao Cao and Xi Yu returned, Zhao Yun had already escorted Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others back to Juancheng.
At that time, Xun Yu was worried that Chen Gong and others would take the initiative to attack Juancheng.
He and Cheng Yu are planning what kind of defense to take.
At the same time, Xun Yu also kept an eye on the news of various towns in Yanzhou.
When he learned the news that Chen Gong and others took the Xiliang army all the way to collect Yanzhou towns, Xun Yu's heart was always hanging.
When Zhao Yun appeared outside Juancheng with Chen Gong and others, Xun Yu closed the city gate tightly and prepared to counterattack.
However, this was a misunderstanding after all.
Even Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who learned the results, were difficult to accept for a long time.
Chen Gong and the others were defeated in one fell swoop by Xi Yu with the baggage battalion.
This is the Xiliang Iron Horse, and all the princes in the world are afraid of the Xiliang Iron Horse.
In addition to this news, Lu Bu seems to have been repelled by Xi Yu, and now Lu Bu has also fled.
Such news is really incredible.
But, I have to say, this is simply great news.
Originally, I was still worried about when the Xiliang army would attack the city, but now it is directly gone.
While Xun Yufang and Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the two had to have some admiration for Xi Yu.
can detect such a thing in advance, and even arranged Zhao Yun and the others a long time ago, when they are still guarding to the death.
Xi Yu sent grain and grass, and by the way, he solved the source of the Yanzhou rebellion.
It sounds like people don't know what to say.
It's like a dream all of a sudden.
Not really! -
Thank you for the big 5,000 starting coins from Kitazuka Village, thank you very much!!
