Chapter 444: Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Gonggong (thanks to 23TL's Piaohong

A locust plague also occurred in Xuzhou, and since Xuzhou is close to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, more refugees from the two states went to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei sighed sadly, "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, heroes have risen everywhere and the people are in danger. Bei An is the shepherd of Xuzhou, and he should save the people from danger."

"Brother Gao Yi." Guan Yu said, cupping his fists.

Chen Deng was hesitant to speak. Although Xuzhou was rich, Cao's army attacked Xuzhou last year, and the place it passed was full of grief. The food and grass in the city was enough for the army, but it could not afford too many people.

"Yuan Long has something to say." Liu Bei turned his attention to Chen Deng.

"My lord, Xuzhou is also experiencing a locust plague. There is not much food and grass in the treasury. If refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou are allowed to enter Xuzhou, the food and grass will not be sustainable. I hope my lord will think twice." Chen Deng said with a cupped hand.

Liu Bei sighed again, showing a look of compassion, "The refugees in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are also Han people. Send an order to various places to set up porridge shacks so that they can have a good meal and leave Xuzhou."

Guan Yu looked intolerable, but thinking about the situation in Xuzhou, his expression became gloomy.

"My lord is kind, and the people will definitely burst into tears after learning about it." Chen Deng said: "I heard that Bingzhou is hosting tens of thousands of refugees, why not let these refugees go to Bingzhou to find a way to survive."

Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Bei's mind. At this critical moment, if he saved the people, his prestige among the people would reach its peak. In troubled times, the people are the foundation. Cao Jun is watching outside Xuzhou, and inside

Langxie Zang Ba refused to listen to orders. After Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou, he also wanted to deal with Zang Ba and others after he successfully trained the cavalry, and truly take Xuzhou into his hands. However, God's calculations were not as good as those of humans, but at this moment, something happened

A locust plague.

"Just as Yuan Long meant, the people are in so much trouble. Yuan Long ordered people to appease the people, and Beihui will personally go outside the city to plead guilty to the people." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were moved when they heard this, while Chen Deng curled his lips secretly. No matter how nice he said it, he was just driving the people out of Xuzhou. They said they were letting the people go to Bingzhou to find a way to survive. How many of them could actually reach Bingzhou?

With such a locust plague, strong men must appear along the way.

However, Liu Bei's behavior still made the refugees from Yanzhou and Yuzhou extremely grateful. Being able to give them a bowl of hot rice porridge at such a moment was enough for them to remember, not to mention Liu Bei personally came out to apologize to the people.

Many refugees left Xuzhou gratefully, keeping Xuzhou pastor Liu Bei in their hearts.

Now, as the emperor, Liu Biao naturally had to show the magnanimity of an emperor. Under the advice of his subordinates and generals, he accepted some refugees. Of course, these were the young and strong among the refugees and were incorporated into the army. This was also a good way to resolve the refugees.

After the great war in Jingzhou, the army suffered serious losses. The arrival of refugees also allowed Liu Biao to replenish the army much faster. As for the casualties these soldiers would have on the battlefield, it was not something he considered. Ordinary soldiers

After all, more young people will be added.

"My lord, now that Xuzhou and Jingzhou have too much time to take care of themselves, this is also an opportunity for our army." Xi Ce's face looked paler than before.

"Zhicai, the military affairs in Yanzhou are heavy, but you have to put your health first. If you fall ill, who will I rely on?" Cao Cao asked with concern.

"My subordinate's health is fine, it's just the occasional cold." Xi Ce said slowly: "On this occasion, Yanzhou is in trouble, why don't the lord raise troops to attack Buchen. Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he managed to survive in Shouchun."

"How could I not know that the army does not have much money and food?" Cao Cao looked helpless. If Yanzhou was like Jizhou at this time, he would definitely raise troops to attack Xuzhou and Yuan Shu." Cao Cao sighed.

Xi Ce raised his hand and said: "My lord, Yuan Shu has a method for making bed crossbows. If Yanzhou can get it, why not worry about not being able to conquer Xuzhou. At this time, Shouchun is full of complaints. My 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. Matters in the city were only left to his officials. Compared with Yanzhou, Yuan Shu was even more short of food. After the lord defeated Yuan Shu,

His fame in the world will be unparalleled."

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and turned his attention to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, I want to raise an army to attack Yuan Shu. Is the food and grass in the city enough for an army of ten thousand?"

Xun Yu said: "My Lord, it is a great fortune for the Han Dynasty that he raises an army to attack Buchen. There is enough food and grass in the city for an army of 10,000 people."

In fact, the food and grass in Yanzhou could no longer withstand the army's expedition, but in order to destroy the traitor Yuan Shu, no matter how difficult it was, Xun Yu had to complete it. He had deep feelings for the Han Dynasty, and he also saw clearly

The current situation of the world. Although Liu Biao inherited the unification and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, this emperor lacked weight in the hearts of the princes. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Li Jue and Guo Si Rebellion, the Han Dynasty still had no weight in the hearts of the princes.

The last trace of prestige has long been gone. If Liu Biao could defeat Yuan Shu with powerful means, he might win the recognition and admiration of the princes. However, after defeating Yuan Shu, Jingzhou lost its troops and gained nothing. Facing the eagerly eyeing Sun Ce, he could only passively defend.

It is difficult to make the princes surrender.

Yuan Shu said that although the emperor was defeated, it also showed that the Han Dynasty at this time was no longer what it used to be. If it were placed in the time of Emperor Ling and Emperor Huan, even the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family would have dared to do such a rebellious thing.

, can bring about the ruin of the Yuan family.

In August of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao mobilized an army of 10,000 troops in Shanyang and vowed to attack Yuan Shu. After learning about it, Liu Biao sent an envoy to greatly appreciate Cao Cao's move.

At this time, the officials in Jiujiang did not feel any hope. When officials from the cities along the way saw the arrival of Cao Jun, they opened the city gates to welcome Cao Jun. In less than half a month, the army had arrived in Shouchun, and people in the city were panicked for a while.

, there are many officials under Yuan Shu who secretly liaise with Cao Cao.

With Yuan Shu's decadence, Shouchun's panic, and people's hearts distracted, the officials in the city were thinking more about what they would do after Cao Jun defeated Shouchun.

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

Even though the people in Shouchun were in dire straits after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, it was still a prosperous land. If Jiangdong could get it, he could attack Xuzhou, and it could also provide food and fodder for the army.

"Cao's army attacked Yuan Shu, and the cities along the way fell into the wind. Cao Cao's wild ambitions, and after occupying Shouchun, the Lujiang River is in danger." Sun Ce turned his attention to Zhou Yu and said: "Does Gong Jin have a good plan?"
