Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

"My lord, there are a large number of refugees gathered outside the city. If they are not properly accommodated, there may be trouble." Xi Ce kept coughing, and a hint of rosy flashed across her pale face.

Cao Cao sighed: "How could this lord not know, but now Yanzhou is also short of food and grass, the locust plague is raging, and the people have no crops, and this lord is also powerless."

"My lord, people outside the city die every day. If things go on like this, if these people gather together and make trouble, it will be a disaster for the locality, it will be a disaster for Yanzhou." Xun Yu said.

In the face of such a situation, Cao Cao is helpless, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Xuzhou has a lot of money and grain. Although it has suffered disasters, it is not as serious as Yanzhou. Jingzhou is also rich. It is better to send people to Xuzhou to borrow food, and then order people to go to Jingzhou. This is very difficult." Xun You suggested.

Cao Cao nodded. Even if he knew that Xuzhou would not borrow food, and Jingzhou would not bring food and grass, he still had some hope. As Xi Ce and Xun Yu said, what he was most worried about was that without food, he was driven by hunger. , these people are very likely to become refugees, endangering Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which is not tolerated by Cao Cao.

After everyone left, Cao Cao turned his attention to Xi Ce, "Zhi has something to say, but he speaks."

"My lord, now the Bingzhou army has occupied Hanoi with lightning speed, and the ambition to covet Sili is obvious, and the Marquis of Jin has an imperial decree. After Hedong, they can attack Chang'an, Henan Yin, Hongnong, and Liangzhou, and once the Marquis of Jin occupy Henan Yin, they will be adjacent to Yanzhou, which is the biggest disaster." Xi Ce said slowly.

Cao Cao's expression became tense. Hanoi and Hedong belonged to Hebei, which was why Cao Cao was relieved, but Yanzhou was close to Henan Yin. If the Bingzhou army crossed the Yellow River and attacked Henan Yin, they would become Yanzhou's neighbors. With an ambitious neighbor by his side, how could he feel at ease? Even if Lu Bu most likely attacked Chang'an, he could not use common sense to speculate on Lu Bu's past actions.

"In this way, Yanzhou is in danger." Cao Cao sighed, but Yanzhou suffered a drought and a locust plague at such a juncture, otherwise Cao Cao's next step would be to occupy Hongnong and Henan Yin, and then capture Xuzhou.

After occupying Yin and Hongnong in Henan, the army of Yanzhou can attack the land of Sanfu. Chang'an is in the hands of the rebels Li Jue, Guo Si and others. If the two thieves are eradicated, his prestige in the world will be higher, and Chang'an will be more powerful. It is the land of Longxing, only need to dispatch a small number of soldiers and horses to occupy the surrounding levels, advance can be attacked and retreated, and the foundation is the foundation of the great cause. He believes that Lu Bu has also seen this.

"My lord, my subordinates went to Bingzhou and learned that the Marquis of Jin loves the people like sons and treats the people very leniently, and even distributed the land that originally belonged to the Bingzhou family to the people, why not let the people go to Bingzhou to find a way to survive." Xi Ce said.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "It's a feasible way, but with so many refugees, if they go to Bingzhou, wouldn't it make Bingzhou stronger."

"My lord, on this occasion, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are already too busy to take care of themselves. Keeping the people will only make more people die. Most of the land under the control will not be harvested, and the army will be in short supply." Xi Ce advised that in troubled times, the people's The number determines the strength. The princes all understand that if they can barely eat enough, the people will not choose to travel far away. In the past, those who went to Bingzhou to seek a way of life were all destitute people.

"Okay, in the words of talent, this lord is also for the sake of the people." Cao Cao sighed, Lv Bu was well-known among the lords for his kindness to the people. In addition, it will definitely attract the scolding of the princes.

"My lord is wise, my subordinates will do it now." Leaving the prefecture and shepherd's house, Xi Ce coughed violently, and blood stains appeared on the silk cloth.

Refugees gathered outside the city can only rely on the rice porridge provided by Zhou Ji in the city every day, but the rice porridge is so clear that people can be seen.

Rice grains are even more difficult to find. Even so, the people are not willing to leave Shanyang. This is their last hope. If they leave here, I am afraid there will be no rice porridge. They also hope that the family in the city can take them in, even for the sake of it. Noble family farming, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it is already a luxury for them to eat hot meals at this time.

In the past few days, the number of refugees gathered outside Shanyang City has reached 30,000, and the number of soldiers responsible for maintaining order has also reached 1,000. Driven by hunger, even ordinary people who are usually mild have a fierce side. For a bowl of rice porridge, you can fight hard, and if you want to get rice porridge, the old and the young need to put in even more effort.

"Don't be in Yanzhou. Most of Yanzhou has suffered from locust plague. I heard that the money and food in the prefecture's shepherd's house is running out. I am afraid that in a few days, there will be no rice porridge." A commoner said in a low voice.

At this time, what the people cared about most was food rations, and their only hope was going to be gone soon, which made them feel anxious and hurriedly surrounded them.

"I have heard that the people of Bingzhou can eat three meals a day, and the Marquis of Jin treats the people well. Many people who go to Bingzhou have land to take, and those who have children in the army do not need to pay taxes, and the state does not suffer Natural disasters, if you don’t go, Bingzhou will probably not let you in.”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Xi Ce secretly ordered soldiers to pretend to be the common people to spread the words, which soon spread among the common people. Seeing the rice porridge becoming clearer every day, many people chose to go to Bingzhou, where they were in Yanzhou. There is no way out.

Even if they choose to stay, there are some old and weak people. They do not have the ability to go to Bingzhou. I am afraid that they will die on the way before they reach Bingzhou.

Xun Yu also heard about the incident outside the city, and his face was bitter. Of course, he knew that this must be the work of Cao Cao, but after so many people went to Bingzhou, what should Lu Bu do? There are probably 20,000 people who went to Bingzhou from outside the city alone. These 20,000 people, but they don’t have any family resources, go to Bingzhou and can only rely on Zhou Ji to survive, even if Bingzhou is no longer so barren, it can accommodate for so many people?

Moreover, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili areas also suffered disasters. Once these refugees learned that there was a way to survive in Bingzhou, wouldn't they flock to Bingzhou.

Xun Yu also knew that Yanzhou was now at a critical moment. If there was no more food and grass, let alone the people, even the army would endure starvation. How would Yanzhou overcome the immediate difficulties?
