Fu Zhu returned to the coalition camp and brought back the conditions for Zhuang Shaoyou's peace talks.

Yuan Shao and the group of heroes immediately breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, Zhuang Shaoyou finally relaxed and negotiated peace!

However, they soon became angry again, naturally because the conditions were too harsh.

The heroes of Qingyanzhou roared in the big tent, and some of the radicals even demanded that the coalition fight again!

The faces of the four princes in Yanzhou, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, and Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi were also ugly, because Zhuang Shaoyou planned to annex them.

Yuan Shaoxin was a little happy, in this way, maybe he could encourage everyone to fight again!

Guo Tu took the opportunity to make a difficulty: "Father and brother, what are you doing?" If so, it's better to fight! ”

Frustrated with disdain, he turned to Yuan Shao and said, "Alliance leader, don't be impatient!" As far as I know, Zhuang Shaoyou himself is reluctant to negotiate peace, but all his subordinates agree with peace talks! That's why he deliberately prescribes such harsh conditions! ”

A sentence of frustration suddenly made the angry group of ambitions half cold, that madness hasn't fought enough? Damn, he almost caught his way, does he still have any hole cards? ”

Fu Zhu sighed and said: "Last night, Zhuang Shaoyou's cavalry raided Shouzhang, and Lord Yuan Shu's army was annihilated. ”

Everyone in the tent gasped, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Guo Tu asked angrily: "Shouzhang is more than 200 miles away, and it rained heavily last night, and the news transmission was inconvenient, how did you know?" ”

Fu Zhu said very calmly: "I just found out in Puyang! ”

Guo Tu snorted coldly: "Do you believe this kind of thing? You are deliberately disturbing the morale of the army! His heart can be punished! ”

Frustrated and said lightly: "Do you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it!" ”

Guo Tu was speechless.

The crowd was puzzled at first, but soon fell silent, for although they were reluctant, they basically believed.

There was silence in the tent for a long time, and then he spoke again: "Alliance leader, my lords, the conditions proposed by Zhuang Shaoyou are indeed harsh, but this is also caused by his sky-high asking price, can I wait to sit on the ground and pay back?" Let's think about how to continue talking. ”

Only then did the group of heroes wake up, and from the powerlessness just now, they began to argue.

As a messenger, he worked tirelessly to go back and forth.

The two sides bargained, and after seven or eight rounds, they finally reached an agreement.

1. Within three years, the princes of the coalition army shall not attack Zhuang Shaoyou's territory for any reason or in any name!

2. Zhuang Shaoyou retains the existing territory, Zhuang Shaoyou retains the western half of Yanzhou East County, and the eastern part of the East County is Liu Dai's territory; The newly occupied Qi State and Le'an County returned half to Qingzhou Haoqiang.

3. The coalition forces compensated Zhuang Shaoyou for the loss of military expenses, which is equivalent to 25,000 catties of gold!

4. The merchants under Zhuang Shaoyou can freely enter and exit the territory of the heroes, and no one is allowed to interfere with it for any reason, and no taxes and fees are levied! If there is a violation, it will be regarded as a declaration of war! General Ben did not rule out the possibility of solving the problem by force.

5. Within three years, Zhuang Shaoyou promised not to take the initiative to attack.

6. Zhuang Shaoyou guaranteed the safe return of the Yellow River Gang, and never interfered with Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's return to the north of the river.

On the eighth day of August, Zhuang Shaoyou stood at the head of Puyang City.

The light rain in the sky is still dripping, and the coalition forces in the distance begin to move, after reaching an agreement last night, Zhuang Shaoyou is very satisfied, everything else is virtual, peace talks are just a formality, if it starts, you can find a bunch of excuses at will, so the written promise has no meaning!

On the contrary, the compensation is real! The most important thing is trade, last night the coalition tent was arguing over how to choose, but no one questioned this article, and the heroes thought that it was just a loss of some tax money.

However, Zhuang Shaoyou intends to strictly abide by the agreement, at least not to use force first.

In three years, the soldiers and horses were vigorous, digesting the existing territory, and cutting off the economic invasion of the land, boiling frogs in warm water, and when those princes found out that something was wrong, it was too late!

The coalition forces outside the city retreated one after another, but the city moved, Zhuang Shaoyou personally went into battle and organized the people and soldiers to go out of the city to rescue food! Passing on the news through the Intelligence Division, this autumn harvest is ahead of schedule!

Although the grain is not completely ripe, after this rainstorm, all the crops are soaked in water, and if it is left for seven or eight days, it will definitely be finished!

On the eighth day of the first month of August, the coalition forces had already withdrawn, and the army around Puyang was completely gone. There is also good news, the rain has been falling intermittently, but it is very small, the water level of the Yellow River has begun to slowly fall, the water level of Puyang City has also dropped to less than a foot, and the people no longer have to row on the streets.

After three days of busyness, more than one million people under the command of Zhuang Shaoyou went into battle to harvest grain, with unprecedented efficiency, and a total of 280,000 hectares of spring grain fields in the four counties of southern Liaoning, Juye, Taishan, and Puyang harvested a total of 11 million grains, and the average harvest became about 40 percent of the normal year.

After occupying Qingzhou, especially after taking Qi and Le'an, the population under Zhuang Shaoyou has nearly doubled, reaching 1.8 million people!

The grain obtained from this autumn harvest, plus a total of 10 million Hu from last year's surplus grain, is just enough to feed these people, and the summer grain corn has also suffered, and it is not ripe at all, so it cannot be harvested in advance, so I am afraid that I will have to tighten my belt this year!

In the meantime, through the Intelligence Department, Yuan Shu, who fled back to Huainan, got in touch, Yuan Shu actually rejected the offer to redeem his subordinates, according to Yuan Shu's logic, there are as many people as there is food in these years! The 3,000 soldiers of his cronies were basically killed, and Yuan Shu was not nostalgic for those miscellaneous soldiers, so he refused to waste money on these miscellaneous soldiers.

Yuan Shu's reply made Zhuang Shaoyou stunned, and Tian Feng was also speechless, he really misestimated Yuan Shu's character!

Yuan Shu was very chic and made a hand-shaking uncle, and now Zhuang Shaoyou was embarrassed. Fifteen thousand strong men, thrown into the Onozawa to feed the fish? Not quite right! Recruited to replenish army losses? I can't look at it!

Zhuang Shaoyou hadn't yet thought about how to deal with this group of prisoners, and on the tenth night of the first month of August, the rainstorm came again.

The entire plain land, including the whole territory of Jizhou, the western part of Bingzhou, the southeastern part of Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Sili, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, the eastern and northern parts of Jingzhou, and the eastern part of Yongzhou, are all stormy.

Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou were the most severely affected.

On 11 August, the embankment of the Yellow River burst at Mengjin in Sili, flooding the northern part of Sili and displacing 500,000 people.

On August 12, the Baimajin embankment burst, and the northwest of Yanzhou, including Dongjun, was flooded, and the water level in Puyang City was as high as four feet!

On the same day, the embankment of the Yellow River in Liyang, Jizhou broke, and the southwest of Jizhou was a piece of **.

Not only the flooding of the Yellow River, but also the Huaishui, Rushui and other major rivers in the original place are no exception, and the lower reaches of the river in Yangzhou also have many river embankment breaches.

In 189 AD, the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, later historians called this year the beginning of the "Ten Years of World Turmoil".
