Chapter 23 Horses set foot in Yuzhou, and Gao Yi was the marquis

A few days later, north of Taishan County.

As a wolf rider eight athletes, Zang Ba successfully received the first batch of grain and rice at the junction of Qingxu and Xuzhou, with a total of 50,000 stones.

In order to show the sincerity of the alliance with Yuan Shao.

Gao Yi immediately sent 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops attacked Yuzhou in three ways and clashed with Cao Cao again.

The first way was led by Yuan Zuozong with 20,000 soldiers and horses, stationed troops outside Taiqiu City, and formed a confrontation with the Cao army, pinning down the main force of the Cao army in Yuzhou, forcing it to be unable to divide the army.

The second road was led by Cheng Lian and Cao Xing 5,000 Xuzhou troops, riding more than 100 ships, along the waterway, all the way to plunder the villages and water villages, forcing the young and strong refugees to flee into the territory of Xu Pei.

On the third road, Gao Yi personally led five thousand wolf riders to go deep into the hinterland of Yuzhou, looting the walled cities everywhere, setting fire to the city, and making Cao Cao's rear completely chaotic.

For the invasion of the walled city of Yuzhou, the expulsion of displaced people, and the burning of the city, most of the Xuzhou soldiers under Gao Yi's command, although they were unkind, did not feel guilty.

Kou can go, I can go too!

In that year, Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou on the grounds of revenge for Cao Song.

Wherever Cao Jun passed, the city wall was almost left without chickens and dogs, and a large number of old and young people died in the ruthless slaughter of Cao Jun, and countless women were humiliated to death by Cao Jun.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!

Born in troubled times, human life is like a mustard!

In the Pengcheng area of Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of innocent people were driven into the river by Cao Jun like a herd of pigs and sheep and drowned. Mere corpses floating on the surface of the water clog the river and make it impossible for the river to flow.

……

In the end, after Gao Yi's large-scale invasion, Yuzhou, as the rear of Cao's army, can be described as stormy.

Cao's army, which was tired of running for his life, began to gradually rout, and was temporarily unable to stop Gao Yi's troops, so he had to adopt the strategy of clearing the wilderness and holding the city to wait for reinforcements.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Yuzhou, forced to become homeless and homeless, were driven into the Xupei area by the Gaoyi army, bringing a huge amount of cheap labor to the local area.

But Gao Yi knew that although these hundreds of thousands of displaced people were temporarily forcibly suppressed, if they were not handled well, sooner or later they would provoke a popular uprising and become a huge hidden danger.

So, Gao Yi directly waved his hand and ordered all counties and countries to open porridge shops to relieve the people.

It is completely different from the disaster relief porridge that 'chopsticks are inserted and not fallen' in later generations.

The porridge shops set up in various counties and the rice porridge boiled are not so much rice porridge as rice soup.

The soup is so thin that you can almost tell how many grains of rice there are in the bowl with your naked eye.

Pair it with some wild vegetable leaves that can be found everywhere.

Two bowls of thin rice soup a day are at most to ensure that people will not starve to death temporarily.

This is not that the officials of the counties and states dare to withhold the food and salary for disaster relief, but Gao Yi deliberately did it.

Now it is the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty, grain can be described as the gold of the troubled times, and the food and salary in the army are still slightly insufficient.

As for some homeless people who can't eat enough and want to eat thick food, it's not impossible.

Cash-for-work, find out!

Most of the displaced people who escaped from Yuzhou to Xupei alive were young men and women, and there were hardly many old and weak women and children.

In order to have enough to eat, the young and strong displaced people were arranged to build city walls, or to build embankments, or to reclaim wasteland.

For a time, the entire Xu Pei area was completely a lively and thriving scene.

……

Yingchuan Xudu, Sikong Mansion.

Diametrically opposed to the lively Xu Pei area, at this time, there was silence in Sikong Mansion, and the needles could be heard.

Cao Cao subconsciously prepared to smooth the long hair under his forehead, but when his hand was raised halfway, he realized that his long hair was already gone.

It's this high righteousness again!

It's not over yet, is it?

Cao Cao looked left and right at the group of Cao military generals sitting on both sides, and sighed faintly:

"Gao Yi, this thief, is really too deceitful. Burned down the walled city under my rule for no reason, and plundered the people of Yuzhou. ”

"Now the main army of Taiqiu City is besieged by 20,000 enemy troops, and it is impossible to send troops to rescue. I wonder if you have any good solutions to this crisis? ”

Cheng Yu, who was sitting on the left side, saw that no one spoke, so he said: "Lord! Yu wants to impeach one person. A few days ago, General Cao Ren led 50,000 Yuzhou soldiers to rush to the aid of Taiqiu City, why did he cower in the city and did not dare to meet the 20,000 enemy troops. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but show a helpless look on his face, took out a military report, and ordered someone to hand it to Cheng Yu and others to circulate.

I don't know if I don't see it! Shocked at first sight!

On the day Cao Ren led his army to Taiqiu City, he set up a military formation and fought a fierce battle with the 20,000 enemy troops outside the city.

As a result, as soon as the battle began, 50,000 Yuzhou soldiers were killed like ants in a broken nest, and they scattered in panic.

If Cao Ren hadn't made a quick decision and chose to take advantage of the cover of night to lead the army to escape into Taiqiu City, I am afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out by now.

In this military report, Cheng Yu discovered that the enemy general who led the army to besiege the city was actually a person who had never heard of it.

That person called himself: Beiliang White Bear Yuan Zuozong!

Wait until a group of advisers and generals finish reading the military report.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, then looked at Guo Jia and the others, and asked, "I have also finished reading the military report, I don't know what you think?" Or is it a good idea? ”

Cheng Yu was the first to speak: "Beiliang White Bear Yuan Zuozong! I have never heard of this name, and it is estimated that it is a secret hidden general under Gao Yi. ”

"Gao Yi already occupies the counties of Xuzhou, only to seize Peiguo, and there are generals as the vanguard, it has become a climate, I am afraid it will be difficult to annihilate in a short time."

"And Hebei Yuan Shaobing besieged Yijing, it is estimated that within a few months, Gongsun Chan can be captured and killed, and if the two are united, leading troops to attack in two ways, my Central Plains will be in danger!"

Hearing Cheng Yu's analysis, Cao Cao felt that it made sense. "Zhongde, do you have a good plan to solve this crisis?"

"My lord, for the sake of today's plan, I can only appease Gao Yi in the name of the imperial court, give him a high-ranking official Houlu, and seal the title of seal."

"Good! This department ordered people to play the Son of Heaven, Feng Gaoyi as the pastor of Xuzhou, into the Marquis of Shouchun, awarded the general of Zhengnan, and the commander-in-chief Xu Yang dispatched soldiers and horses in the two states. ”

Cheng Yu and others were stunned and praised one after another:

"Lord, what a plan for two tigers to compete for food!"

"Shouchun City is the old nest of Yuan Shu in Huainan, and using this city as Gao Yi's fief will definitely attract Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction, and Gao Yi is young and frivolous, and it is very likely that he will lead an army to attack Huainan."

At this time, Guo Jia, who was sacrificing wine as a military advisor, had an idea and proposed another clever plan.

"Jia also has a plan to gradually disintegrate the enemy army."

"At the same time as canonizing Gao Yi, you can also reward the general under his command, Yuan Zuozong, as the assassin of Xuzhou."

"According to the military newspaper, Yuan Zuozong seems to be only in his early twenties, how can such a young general who can fight well be willing to live under others for a long time?"

"If this person gets this reward, sooner or later there will be a gap with Gao Yi, and then the two will inevitably turn against each other, and even attack each other."

When the surrounding ministers and generals heard this, they were all amazed!

It was as if he had seen the moment when the enemy army was falling apart.
