Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 437: The Strategy of Playing Talents

"Lord, there are a large number of refugees gathered outside the city now. If they are not resettled properly, trouble may occur." Xi Ce kept coughing, and a trace of rosy flashed across his pale face.

Cao Cao sighed: "How could I not know that Yanzhou is also short of food and grass now, the locust plague is raging, and the people have no harvest, so I am also helpless."

"Lord, people are dying every day outside the city. If things continue like this, if these people gather together to cause trouble and cause harm to the place, it will be a disaster for Yanzhou." Xun Yu said.

Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao was at a loss what to do, and it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

"Xuzhou has a lot of money and food. Although the disaster was suffered, it was not as severe as Yanzhou. Jingzhou is also rich. If not, why not send people to Xuzhou to borrow food, and then send people to Jingzhou? The Holy One has mercy on the people and will not sit back and watch Yanzhou suffer.

It’s such a disaster.” Xun You suggested.

Cao Cao nodded. Even though he knew that Xuzhou would not borrow food and Jingzhou would not transport food and grass, he still had some hope. What he was most worried about was, as Xi Ce and Xun Yu said, without food, driven by hunger.

, these people are very likely to become refugees and harm Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which Cao Cao cannot tolerate.

After everyone left, Cao Cao turned his attention to Xi Ce, "Zhicai has something to say but just say it."

"My Lord, now the Bingzhou Army has occupied Hanoi with lightning speed. The ambition of coveting Sili is clearly revealed, and the Marquis of Jin has an imperial edict in his hands. After occupying Hanoi, how can he give up the more prosperous Hedong? Once the Marquis of Jin takes over

After Hedong, you can attack Chang'an, Henan Yin, Hongnong, and Liangzhou. Once the Jin marquis takes Henan Yin, it will be adjacent to Yanzhou, which is really the biggest disaster." Xi Ce said slowly.

Cao Cao's expression tightened. Hanoi and Hedong belong to Hebei, which is why Cao Cao is relieved. However, Yanzhou is close to Henan Yin. If the Bingzhou army crosses the Yellow River to attack Henan Yin, they will become Yanzhou's neighbor. With such a person

How could he feel at ease with his ambitious neighbor by his side? Even though Lu Bu was most likely to attack Chang'an, looking at Lu Bu's past behavior, we cannot use common sense to deduce it.

"In this case, Yanzhou will be in danger." Cao Cao sighed, but drought and locust plague occurred in Yanzhou 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, Yanzhou's army 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 is

It is the land of Longxing. You only need to send a small number of soldiers and horses to occupy the surrounding checkpoints. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. This is the foundation for achieving a great cause. He believes that Lu Bu has also seen this.

"My lord, my subordinates once went to Bingzhou and learned that the Marquis of Jin loved his people like his own son and treated them very generously. He even gave 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 and he nodded: "It is a feasible method, but if so many refugees go to Bingzhou, wouldn't it make Bingzhou even stronger?"

"Lord, at this time, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are already too busy to take care of themselves. Leaving the people alone will only cause more people to die. Most of the land will not be harvested, and the army is also in short supply of food and grass." Xi Ce advised that in troubled times, the people's

The number determines the strength. The princes all know this. 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 out were all impoverished people.

"Okay, as a matter of fact, I am doing this for the sake of the people." Cao Cao sighed. Lu Bu was well-known among the princes for his kindness to the people. If he dares to attack a noble family for the sake of the people, if he blocks the people from his territory,

Otherwise, it will definitely attract verbal and written criticism from the princes.

"My lord is wise, I will take care of it now." After leaving the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, Xi Ce coughed violently. Dots of blood appeared on the silk cloth. He hurriedly stuffed the silk cloth into his arms and headed towards the army.

The refugees gathered outside the city could only survive every day on the rice porridge donated by the city. However, the rice porridge was so clear that people could be seen, and the grains of rice were even harder to find. Even so, the people were unwilling to leave Shanyang. This is

This is their last hope. If they leave here, they may not even have rice porridge. They also hope that the aristocratic families in the city can take them in, even if they farm for the aristocratic families, as long as they can fill their stomachs. For them at this time, they can

Eating hot meals is already a luxury.

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 thousands. Driven by hunger, even the usually gentle people have a fierce side, and often

People can fight for a bowl of rice porridge. If young and old want to get rice porridge, they need to make even greater efforts.

"Don't be in Yanzhou anymore. Most of Yanzhou has been hit by a locust plague. I heard that the state's pastoral government is running out of money and food. I'm afraid that in a few days, there won't even be rice porridge." One of the people said in a low voice.

At this time, what the people cared about most was food rations. Their only hope was about to disappear, which made them feel anxious. After hearing this, they hurriedly gathered around.

"I have heard that the people in Bingzhou can have three meals a day, and the Marquis of Jin treats the people well. Many people who go to Bingzhou can get land. Those who have children in the army do not need to pay taxes, and Bingzhou has not suffered.

It’s a natural disaster. If you don’t go, I’m afraid Bingzhou won’t let you in.”

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and Xi Ce secretly ordered soldiers to pretend to be common people and spread the news quickly among the people. Seeing the rice porridge getting clearer day by day, many people chose to go to Bingzhou. In Yanzhou they

There is no way to survive anymore.

Even those who choose to stay are still old and weak. They do not have the ability to go to Bingzhou, and they may die on the way before reaching Bingzhou.

Xun Yu also heard about what happened outside the city, with a bitter look on his face. Of course he knew that this must be Cao Cao's handiwork, but after so many people went to Bingzhou, what should Lu Bu do? Just the people outside the city who went to Bingzhou would probably

It has reached 20,000 people. However, these 20,000 people do not have any family assets. When they go to Bingzhou, they can only rely on charity to survive. Even if Bingzhou is no longer so poor, can it accommodate 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, not to mention the people, even the army would suffer from hunger. How would Yanzhou survive the current difficulties?
