Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 444: Cao Cao's Crusade against Yuan Road

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Xuzhou also has a locust plague, and Xuzhou is close to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and more refugees from the two states go to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei sighed bitterly, "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there have been many heroes everywhere, and the people are in danger. Beibei is the shepherd of Xuzhou, and he should save the people from the crisis."

"Brother Gao Yi." Guan Yu clasped his fists.

Chen Deng was hesitant to say anything. Although Xuzhou was rich, Cao's army attacked Xuzhou last year, and the places he passed were filled with sorrow and grief. The food and grass in the city was enough for the army, but it could not afford too many people.

"Yuanlong has something to say, but he said it." Liu Bei turned his attention to Chen Deng.

"My lord, Xuzhou has also experienced a locust plague, and there is not much food and grass in the treasury. If the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou are allowed to enter Xuzhou, the food and grass will not be sustainable. I hope the lord thinks twice." Chen Deng cupped his hands.

Liu Bei sighed again, showing a look of sympathy and compassion, "Refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou are also common people of the Han Dynasty, order all places to set up porridge sheds, and let them leave Xuzhou with a full meal."

Guan Yu had a look of unbearable expression on his face, but his expression darkened when he thought of the situation in Xuzhou.

"The lord is kind, and the people will be grateful when they find out." Chen Deng said, "I heard that Bingzhou accepts tens of thousands of refugees, so why not let these refugees go to Bingzhou to seek a way out."

Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Bei's mind. At this critical moment, if he saves the people, his prestige among the people will reach a peak. In troubled times, the people are the foundation. There are Langxie Zangba who do not obey orders. After Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou, he also wanted to train Zangba and others after he succeeded in training the cavalry. Locust plague.

"Let's take Yuanlong's meaning, the people are so difficult, Yuanlong ordered people to appease the people, and Beihui will go outside the city in person to plead guilty to the people." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were deeply moved when they heard the words, while Chen Deng pouted secretly. No matter how nice he said, he was driving the people out of Xuzhou. He said that he wanted the people to go to Bingzhou to find a way to survive. How many people can really reach Bingzhou? With such a plague of locusts, there are bound to be strong men along the way.

However, Liu Bei's behavior still made the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou grateful. To be able to give them a bowl of hot rice porridge at such a moment is enough to make them remember, not to mention that Liu Bei personally came forward to apologize to the people.

Many refugees left Xuzhou gratefully, and remembered Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei in their hearts.

Now that Liu Biao is the emperor, he naturally has to show the emperor's bearing. Under the advice of his subordinate officers and generals, he accepts some refugees. Of course, these are all young and strong refugees, and they are incorporated into the army. This is also a good way to resolve the refugees. After the war in Jingzhou, the army was severely damaged. The arrival of refugees also made Liu Biao replenish the army much faster. As for the casualties of these soldiers on the battlefield, it was not something he considered, ordinary soldiers. Dead, there are more young men to add in.

"My lord, now Xuzhou and Jingzhou are too busy to take care of themselves, and this is also an opportunity for our army." Xi Ce's face was paler than before.

"Zhicai, Yanzhou has heavy military affairs, but you have to put your body first. If you fall ill, who will this marquis rely on?" Cao Cao said with concern.

"The subordinate's health is fine, it's just a cold accident." Xi Ce said slowly: "At this moment, Yanzhou is in a dilemma, why doesn't the lord raise an army to crusade against the officials, Yuan Shu is defeated, but he lives in Shouchun."

"How could this marquis not know, but there is not much money and food in the army." Cao Cao looked helpless. If Yanzhou at this time was like Jizhou, he would definitely send troops to attack Xuzhou and Yuan Shu. "Cao Cao sighed.

Xi Ce cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Yuan Shu has a method for making a crossbow. If Yanzhou can get it, He Chou can't break Xuzhou, and at this time Shouchun is full of complaints, the lord only needs to lead ten thousand troops to Shouchun, It can make Yuan Shu's army panic. It is said that after Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun,

He fell ill in bed, and the affairs of the city were only handled by the officials under his command. Compared with Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was even more short of food. After the lord defeated Yuan Shu, his reputation in the world would be unparalleled. "

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then turned his attention to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, this marquis wants to raise an army to attack Yuan Shu, can the food and grass in the city be enough for a 10,000-strong army?"

Xun Yu said, "It's the good fortune of the great Han that the lord raises troops to fight against the ministers. The food and grass in the city is enough for a 10,000-strong army."

In fact, the food and grass in Yanzhou can no longer withstand the expedition of the army, but in order to be able to destroy the rebel Yuan Shu, no matter how difficult it is, Xun Yu has to complete it. The status quo of the world, although Liu Biao inherited the great lineage and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, this emperor lacked weight in the hearts of the princes. The last trace of prestige had long since vanished. If Liu Biao could defeat Yuan Shu by forceful means, he might have won the recognition and admiration of the princes. But after defeating Yuan Shu, Jingzhou had lost his troops and gained nothing. Facing the eyeing Sun Ce, he could only passively defend. It is difficult to make the princes surrender.

Yuan Shu said that although the Son of Heaven was defeated, it also showed that the great Han at this time was not what it used to be. If it was placed in the time of Emperor Ling and Emperor Huan, even if the three princes of the Yuan family, if they dared to do such a rebellious thing, only need a holy order. , can bring the Yuan family down.

In August of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao mobilized an army of 10,000 people in Shanyang to swear to attack Yuan Shu.

At this time, the officials in Jiujiang couldn't feel any hope. It was the officials in the cities along the way who saw Cao Jun's arrival and opened the city gates to welcome Cao's army. In half a month, the army had reached Shouchun, and people in the city were panicked for a while. , and Yuan Shu's officials even had no shortage of secret contacts with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu's decadence, Shouchun's panic, and disillusionment, the officials in the city thought more about what they would do after Cao's army defeated Shouchun.

After the news of Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Shu reached Jiangdong, Sun Ce immediately summoned the civilian and military generals under his command. General Zhang Xun had secretly contacted Jiangdong. If Cao Cao's army was to attack Shouchun at this moment, Jiangdong's losses would be great.

Even though Shouchun was struggling to make a living after Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor, it was a land of wealth. If Jiangdong could get it, it would be able to attack Xuzhou and provide food and grass for the army.

"Cao's army attacked Yuan Shu, and the cities along the way surrendered to the wind. Cao Cao's wolf ambitions, and after occupying Shouchun, the Lujiang River will be in danger." Sun Ce turned his eyes to Zhou Yu and asked, "Can Gongjin have a good plan?"
