New Story of Lv Bu

It was early May in the blink of an eye, and the weather immediately entered early summer, and the southeast wind was blowing warmly on people. People all took off their spring clothes and put on summer clothes. After experiencing the raging north wind in winter and the sand and dust in spring, they finally came to the sunny and sunny summer. The birds sang loudly, cheering for the most comfortable day of the year.

It stands to reason that this is the busiest time for the common people, and every household should be busy with spring plowing. But from remote Youzhou to densely populated Xuzhou, there are cracked ground and dry ditches everywhere. Looking at the northern half of Han, Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Bingzhou, Sili, Liangzhou, and the 13 prefectures of Dahan, there are even Kyushu in a severe drought. The distant four states of Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou were only spared because of the borders of the empire in the distance.

The Qingming Festival has passed, and the thief has not yet rained. The ordinary people looked at the cracked ground, and then at the dilapidated ditches, all of them sighed. The rivers and ditches of all sizes have almost bottomed out. Without water, this year’s seeds cannot be planted. Even if they are planted by luck, they may not be able to harvest much grain. Pooh! It seems that God the thief is not giving people a way to survive this year!

While the civilians are anxious to chew their children this year, the princes are also worrying about food taxes. Soldiers have to pay taxes, soldiers have to eat food, plus the miscellaneous consumption of armor, weapons and horses, where does the money come from? ? Money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible! After thinking about it again and again, I can only levy aggressively from below! The people have no food, and the army has no food. It's okay to starve a few people to death. The army starves to death, but the lord is about to die. Oops! You die and I live, or I live and you die!

"For those who go to the countryside to collect food, I will levy this year's taxes for me no matter what method you use! Your family members must be locked up and provided with meals on schedule. If you fail to pay, you will have all your family members. Starve to death!" The county magistrates of all counties sat in the lobby, with a grim expression on their faces, under the most stringent order for grain collection in history. To tell the truth, this is not to blame for them. The three clans were killed when they were scheduled to requisition food. Their masters, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Benchu, and Cao Mengde also gave them the same order.

As a result, the small officials began to collect tenants in groups of underground townships. They brought a large number of county soldiers through the sieve from village to village, and tried all kinds of methods to force the grain out. Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and in a flash, the five states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou are all over the place. The desperate people rose up to resist and killed off the small officials and county soldiers who were collecting rents. The brave people went into the mountains and became bandits and grass bandits. The cowardly dragged their families and began the road to fleeing famine.

In Youzhou, the people of Yuyang and Guangyang counties controlled by Gongsun Zan flee westward to Daijun, Shanggu, and Zhuojun controlled by the Bingzhou army. The people in the six counties of Jizhou also fled west to Changshan, Zhao State, and Wei counties controlled by the Bingzhou army. In this way, the people of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou had only one way left, and that was all the way to the west, fleeing to Henan Yin and Hanoi counties in Sili.

All people have a belief in their hearts. Da Sima Lubu will never watch the starving people die!

Outside the city gate of Pingyuan County, Pingyuan County, Liu Bei was standing under the scorching sun, watching the hungry people coming in, and he couldn't help but let out his grief. "Think of me, Liu Bei. As King Jing of Zhongshan, I watched these victims pass in front of me, but I could only give them a bowl of gruel. My Liu Bei is really useless! What face do I have? The world?" Before the words were finished, he wailed and drew out the sword and wiped it straight to his neck! This immediately frightened the surrounding tens of thousands of hungry people, and the wooden bowl in their hands fell to the ground with a cry. "Liu Shijun! No!" "This is a natural disaster, and it must be the sin of the emperor!" "Never!"

Perhaps it was because Liu Shijun had his hands over the knees and his upper limbs were too long. Perhaps it was because Liu Shijun’s five internal parts were burned and his movements were a little slow for a while. Perhaps it was because of other reasons. In short, in short, At the moment before the blade of the sword wiped his neck, the sword in Liu Shijun's hand was held by a sturdy and powerful hand, and the sword was also snatched away.

"Shijun Liu, this is a natural disaster, and you can't blame it! Zhao Yun knows that there is no food in the county, so I went to meet the leaders of these hungry people, give them directions, and persuade them to go west to Sili and eat!" Zhao Yun Handing Liu Bei's double-stranded sword to the soldiers who came after hearing the news, he strode away. Liu Bei touched his neck, his eyes were sore, two lines of tears broke down.

After this incident, Liu Xuande's benevolence and righteous name spread throughout the entire man, who died for the hungry, and Xuande was also a benevolent person!

The prefect's mansion is located in Yuyang City, the prefecture of Yuyang County. Gongsun Zan was pacing up and down in the hall, and General Guan Jing was playing with his hands: "Master, our rations are about to be eaten! If you don't think about it, you will starve to death!" "His grandmother is a bear! Think of a way," Think of a way, where did I come from? If there is a way, do I still need to walk around here?" Gongsun Zan roared loudly, venting his dissatisfaction. "Lord, you can try to ask Liu Yu for help, you can try it out." Guan Jing said tentatively. "Well, if you make a copy of the book, you might as well be humble. If we ask for help, we have to be a bit low profile."

General Baima finally made a decision. If Liu Yu is willing to borrow money from me, I will allow him to live for a few more years.

In Ganling County, the prefecture of Qinghe State, in the Second Hall of the Prefect’s Mansion, General Cheqi and Yuan Shao, Mu Yuan Shao of Jizhou, also had their faces full of sadness. Food, money, and pensions from the soldiers who died in the war were all these miscellaneous things that made him give birth to a few flowers. . Money and food! Money and food! Everywhere I want money and food, I, Yuan Benchu, don’t have the ability to turn stones into gold. Where can I get money and food for you? His grandma's!

At this moment, General Fenwei Jushou and Biejia Tian Feng hurried over. "My lord! The big thing is not good! The black mountain thief has risen again! Today's Zhongshan, Hejian, and Anping countries have long been full of smoke. The brave and healthy have joined the Montenegrin army, and the ordinary people drag their families and support the elderly. You, I went all the way to the west to join the Bingzhou Army! Look at that, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of people."

"What are you doing in a daze? Quickly send troops to clean up! The site that was just snatched from Gongsun Zan, can't be handed over to the Black Mountain thief!" Yuan Shao said in a loud voice. "The lord, there is no food in the army, and no money in the treasury! The lord should know the principle that the soldiers and horses do not move the food and grass first." Seeing that the lord was furious, don't drive Tian Feng to persuade him hastily.

"Ah! A penny of money is suffocating a hero!" Yuan Shao sighed, his sturdy body collapsed like a hill. After a long while, Yuan Shao straightened up, with a faint green light in his eyes. "His grandmother is a bear! I can't take care of it, even if it is drinking poison to quench my thirst, I have to get money! Otherwise, let alone a domineering career, even you and me will be the first class!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao lowered his voice and said, "Jushou and Tian Feng, both of you will immediately check and find out what illegal and powerful people in Jizhou are. You will find hundreds of families who are complaining about it and kill them all! In this way, it will be resolved. The problem of money and food has been solved, and the reputation of fighting for the people has been established. Doesn't it kill two birds with one stone?" "The lord said it absolutely!" Both Ju Shou and Tian Feng both extended their thumbs.

"Master, what about the hungry people who flee the famine?" Tian Feng turned around and asked. "Father to die and marry, take care of yourself, let them go! The people have shallow eyelids, and the homeland is hard to leave. Once the disaster year is over, they will drag their families back!" Yuan Shao waved impatiently. It was as if a few flies would have gone away. At this moment, he was wondering what to do next,

In Yanzhou, the prefecture of Shanyang State, Changyi County, Cao Cao was anxious about money and food, but he was anxious, but his face was still calm, as if there was nothing to do. "Lord, this year is a dragon to control the water. The signs of the world's severe drought have already appeared. The people can't survive, so they can only throw in the yellow turban or take their families to flee the famine. Taking this opportunity, the Huangjinqu commander recruits soldiers and buys horses. , His subordinates already have 300,000 people, and there are yellow towels everywhere in the northern part of Yanzhou." Xun Yu said softly while looking at the paperwork in his hand.

"Zicai, where did the plan come from?" Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai as usual. He was the adviser Cao Cao admired and valued most. "My lord, there is only one plan. Where the food is there, we will attack wherever we can." Xi Zhi stroked his mustache with his hand and said with a smile. Cao Cao’s eyes lit up immediately, and he was silent for a long while, and then said slowly: "Zhi Cai, in your opinion, are you going to attack the poison?" "Also!" Xi Zhicai said loudly, "Yu The poison gathered 300,000 people, and the people took their families with their mouths, helped the old and the young, and robbed the house. He had a lot of food in his hands. As long as he was defeated, it would not be a problem to survive the disaster."

"This is great! It's only 300,000 for the Yellow Turban, and our army only has 10,000. How to defeat the Yellow Turban, how can Zhicai teach me?" Cao Cao said with a smile on his face, looking at Xizhi. "In my opinion, the lord must have already had an idea. It was just to verify it. My strategy is only sixteen words: differentiation and collapse, bluffing, following the example of the state, and army and the people."

"Yeah! Who knows me!" Cao Cao smiled, smiling so comfortable and happy. After many days of depression, he was finally blown away by Xi Zhicai's sixteen characters. How could he not laugh? ? This drama is a talent! With him by my side, I, Cao Cao, will surely be able to fight against the barbarians, flatten the princes, set the tripod in the Central Plains, and then fight for three lives to dominate the world!

"Send the order, tomorrow I will lead my army to break through the poison!" Cao Cao said loudly.
