Chapter 636: The Fateful Duel Depends on Ability

"Military affairs, I will play child's play?"

Cao Cao's eyes were sharp, and he didn't wait for Xun Yu to answer, and added: "Cao Zilian caught some fine work in Luoyang, and they took the opportunity of sending supplies to the front line to cover the false son of heaven to flee to Hongnong to make a rebellion, and then after some severe interrogation, it seems to be related to the children of Yingchuan, Xun Lingjun doesn't plan to give me a reason?" ”

"I really don't know this, it must be a villain who bites, I hope the prime minister will see it!"

Xun Yu said very sincerely, but Cao Cao didn't believe it at this time, and responded with half-squinted eyes: "Wen Ruo is also reasonable, whether you can continue to torture whether you can bite or not, but the 80,000 winter clothes are really in a hurry, if you can't do it in three days, you can do it in ten days, what?" ”

"With the raw materials and craftsmen in the capital, at most thousands of winter clothes can be driven out, and the remaining raw materials need to be raised and transported, and it is too late to raise and dispatch in ten days, and it is too late to eat or sleep."

Xun Yu was still embarrassed, Cao Cao's heart was like ashes after hearing this, and then he brushed his sleeves and turned around with a gloomy expression.

He carried Xun Yu on his back and said slowly: "How can you do it without eating or sleeping?" On the way back to Xudu, I accidentally shot a wild deer, and I will send someone to bring some cooked meat later."

"Thank you."

Xun Yu was just about to bow down, but when he saw Cao Cao, he didn't look back, and strode out of Xunfu.

Soon after dark, a few small servants in the Xiangfu sent food boxes and reminded Xun Yu to enjoy them earlier.

Xun Yu was worried about 80,000 winter clothes, he actually thought of a 'stupid way', that is, to use the winter clothes of the Yingchuan clan to fill the number, and it was much faster to directly pick up the clothes than to make clothes, but the problem was that even if the Xun family agreed, the rest of the Shengchao clan would not agree.

Like the tribes, the scholars are the private property of each family, and each person has one or two winter clothes, but if they are given to the front-line soldiers, they will freeze to death.

Human nature is selfish, and it is difficult for ordinary people to treat others with themselves.

However, Cao Cao splashed 'dirty water' and threatened, it seems that if he can't prepare 80,000 winter clothes in ten days, he will make a big fuss about it.

Liu Xie can successfully cross Yingchuan and Luoyang, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without internal response, is there really someone within the Shi clan who defects to the enemy?

Xun Yu locked his eyebrows because of his troubles, and he hadn't eaten after nightfall, when he suddenly saw the food box on the case, and suddenly rumbled twice in his stomach.

Instead, eat some venison to satisfy your hunger.

Later, the patriarchs will be called to discuss, and perhaps some of them will be able to move.

But Xun Yu opened the lid of the food box and was dumbfounded when he emptied it inside, where did the venison that the prime minister said?

You don't need to bother too much to talk to smart people.

Xun Yu recalled Cao Cao's words in the afternoon, and suddenly understood the other party's intentions, and dared to either prepare 80,000 winter clothes, or let himself break himself.

Others have given you decency, if you pretend to be ignorant and ignorant, the other party will completely tear off your face, and your family and clan will not end well.

Xun Yu is known as Wang Zuozhicai, how can you not understand this metaphor?

Holding the box cover for a long time, he was silent, and said in his heart that you now have the Hebei Shi clan, is Xun Yu really dispensable?

In the past, the first mastermind of Cao Ying was forced to die?

In the face of death, even a wise man like Xun Yu is difficult to face calmly.

sat on the side of the desk overnight, Xun Yu directly aged twenty years old, and his original black hair and beautiful hair turned into silver threads overnight.

Soon after dawn, Xunfu mourned loudly.

When Xun Yu was found by his subordinates, he had hanged himself on the beam of the front hall and was only forty-six years old.

As the so-called death of people and debts are eliminated, and the matter of taking Xu County as the capital has never been mentioned again.

Cao Cao remembered Xun Yu's previous merits, and did not want to force the Yingchuan Shi clan to rebel, and the problem of the winter clothes of the Cao Ren soldiers in Wancheng could only be thrown to the Hebei Shi clan to raise, but he was worried that the winter clothes were like a warship, and finally sent them to Guan Yu.

After thinking about it again and again, Cao Cao asked Hebei to make winter clothes on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also ready to fight again next year when the weather was warm, so that winter clothes would no longer be needed to keep out the cold, and he would take the opportunity to let the armies rest and adjust and restore morale.

Cao Cao's decision also made Guan Yu take a breath.

He won the battle with inferior troops, and the physical strength of the officers and men of each battalion was several times that of Cao's army, and he urgently needed to stop and recuperate.

As for the rest of the territory south of Jingzhou, Guan Yu planned to surrender his troops without a fight.

Guiyang Zhao Fan recognized Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou, and his brother Liu Cong did not need to fight to the death for power, and Wen Ping, the general who stayed in Jiangling, also had a friendship with Guan Yu at the beginning.

Soon after defeating Cao Ren, Liu Qi sent someone to persuade Liu Cong to surrender, and Guan Yu also wrote a letter to Wen Ping to analyze the pros and cons.

Originally, the situation in Jingzhou was very good, but the news of Dong's invasion and occupation of Lingling reached Xiangyang, which shocked Guan Yu.

Sun Quan was defeated by Long Xiang and Lu Su, as the so-called two masters are not bothered, at this moment Lu Su's fleet is just idle, and Zhao Fan, the general in Guiyang, was also deliberately sent over by Lu Su.

Guan Yu intended to let Lu Su lead his subordinates to Guiyang, but it was unfortunate that the Chang'an Imperial Court sent Jian Yong to Jingzhou to deliver the decree, and then went to Yangzhou to deliver the decree to Long Xiang.

To pass through Sun Quan's several defense areas, without the escort of the warship formation, it will inevitably be impossible to pass, Guan Yu had to let Lu Su lead his troops back to Yangzhou, and the Huainan Navy could just go home for the New Year.

Seeing Long Xiang's reward on the edict, the title and official position were on par with himself, Guan Yu did not feel that Long Xiang was unworthy, on the contrary, he thought that he should not be in front of Long Xiang.

If there was no Long Xiang to provide a clairvoyant mirror, and if there was no Long Xiang to raid and disturb Xudu, Guan Yu would not have been able to achieve such a result in the battle against the superior Cao army.

For this reason, Guan Yu also asked Jian Yong.

Jian Yong told him that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Long Xiang were all rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and they were not proposed by Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang.

Although Liu Xie trusted Liu Bei, after all, he had been controlled by Cao Cao for many years, and he was alone in Chang'an, so he really didn't have a strong sense of security.

Long Xiang's outstanding performance fell into Liu Xie's eyes.

Liu Xie rewarded him and Guan Yu equally, to a large extent, it was the imperial balancing technique, he wanted to win over Long Xiang to become a foreign aid, but Long Xiang's ideal monarch was Liu Bei.

At the beginning of December, Jian Yong arrived in Hefei with Lu Su and was told that Long Xiang had gone to Dantu.

In summer, heavy rains continue to blow in various places, causing the water level of the lower reaches of the Huaishui and Yangtze rivers to rise, and many places in the lower reaches of the two major rivers have become Zeguo, and people have lost their homes and been displaced.

The most flooded areas are Gwangling County, Danyang County, and the northern part of Wu County.

At this time, Longxiang's territory was huge, there was enough space to transfer, and there were enough materials to dispatch disaster relief, but Guangling County, which was near the river and the sea, was miserable.

Guangling County has a small cultivated area and a small population, but Sun Kuang raised 30,000 soldiers to protect himself, and he was barely self-sufficient without disasters, but the floods destroyed almost all the rice fields in the county.

In order to survive, the soldiers of Guangling crossed the Yangtze River under the leadership of Lu Fan to invade the south of the Yangtze River, and plundered the people on the south bank who were also affected by the disaster like thieves.

Lu Xun asked for help from Long Xiang, who had returned to Huainan, and offered a plan to take advantage of the disaster to recover Guangling County.

If the raid on Yangzhou is said to be accidental, it can raid the Central Plains and Cao Cao.

Such a powerful character, what can I Sun Kuang do to stop it?

Guangling County is so decisive, it is a good thing for Longxiang and Yangzhou, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians who are short of food, and how to settle them is a big problem.

Long Xiang is not Cao Cao, and he can't do anything to kill prisoners.

After some careful consideration, it was finally decided to provide cash for work.

In this way, it is estimated that the grain reserves that Long Xiang has stored for many years will be exhausted in one fell swoop, and it will be difficult to go north in a short time.

The duel of fate has to rely on one's own ability in the end.

Maybe the decisive battle with Cao Cao later is a stage reserved for Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
