Chapter 1103: Favorite February of the Year

After Tai Shi Ci left.

Lu Bu didn't leave.

Instead, he stayed.

After all, although Lu Bu was also fighting on the battlefield, he was not injured in anything, and the battle of that intensity was just a relaxation for Lu Bu.

He stayed because he wanted to hear what Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and the others had to talk about.

When Zhuge Jin, Lu Su and others had not yet arrived.

Lu Bu was here to speak.

"Your Majesty, I fought with those Karasuma people, and those people are just a rabble, not as powerful as the Huns I dealt with in Bingzhou back then."

Who is Lu Bu? He is the number one general of the Three Kingdoms, and he naturally won't look at the Karasuma people in the face of those Karasuma people.

Liu Zheng didn't take it to heart when he heard Lu Bu's words.

All the soldiers and horses under his command are not like Lu Bu, if they all have the strength of Lu Bu, then of course it is easy to say, the problem is that Lu Bu's strength is just an example.

So the Karasuma people are still very jealous of Liu Zheng.

It's not that the individual strength of the Karasuma people is, but the strength of the Karasuma people when they come together. For any prince, it cannot be ignored.

Historically, even Cao Cao was severely harassed by these northern nomads.

What's more, it's Liu Zheng now.

"General Lu Bu said it lightly, after all, General Lu's favorite month of the year is February."

"Well, why do I like February?"

Liu Zheng half-jokingly said something to Lu Bu, but it made Lu Bu frown himself, not understanding what Liu Zheng meant.

"This is naturally because General Lu Bu, you only have 28 days in February to go into battle and kill the enemy."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty said it was extreme."

After a bit of a joke.

Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others finally entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty, they have arrived."

Guo Jia gestured at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng nodded quickly, and asked Lu Su and Zhuge Jin as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what Bonghyo said has basically become a reality, and those Karasuma people in the city really sent pursuers to pursue us and others."

"Fortunately, General Tai Shici is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and he resisted hard to escape after waiting for us, otherwise this battle will have great sacrifices for us, and it is very likely that our army will suffer heavy losses."

Liu Zheng said to a few people present.

On the one hand, he praised Tai Shici's loyalty, and on the other hand, he described the current situation.

"Your Majesty, this time it can be regarded as a thrill, but I made a mistake, and I didn't expect in advance that this Yuan Xi would have a backhand."

After Guo Jia saw the melancholy look on Liu Zheng's face, he immediately stood up and took the sin this time.

Guo Jia's words, where would Liu Zheng really blame him.

Let's not mention, Guo Jia has already made a great contribution to seeing through Yuan Xi's tricks in advance, if it weren't for Guo Jia seeing through this Xianbei people's plan, I am afraid that Liu Zheng will not be able to get any benefits from fighting with Xianbei people outside Lecheng County.

Heavy losses are assured, and there is a high probability that they will be captured by the enemy.

It was precisely because Guo Jia broke through Yuan Xi's tricks that Liu Zheng's men and horses had room for buffering.

"Fengxiao, there is no need to blame yourself, you can't be blamed for this matter, you can detect it in advance, it's already very good."

"Besides, now is not the time for us to blame ourselves, we haven't caused too many losses, this matter, we should be glad about it, let's talk about the next plan, Yuan Xi has the help of Xianbei people, and his strength has increased greatly, which is not good news for us."

Liu Zheng frowned tightly and said the worry in his heart.

At this time, several strategists present looked at each other.

It was Lu Su who stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is not a complete disadvantage for us, and we don't need to worry about it completely."

"Zijing, what do you think?"

"Although Yuan Xi has the help of the Xianbei people, their essential problems have not been solved."

When Liu Zheng asked, Lu Su immediately opened his mouth and talked about his opinion.

"Whether it's Yuan Xi, or the Karasuma people, or even the Xianbei people, they are all short of food."

"Yuan Xi, Bang Dun, and even Xianbei people, even if they get together, they can't solve the problem of grain and grass, on the contrary, if they stay together, the troops gather in one place, and the grain and grass consumed will be more."

"We don't even need to fight them, we just need to delay, and they have no food and grass, so they retreat on their own."

Lu Su was not at all afraid of these ethnic minorities in the north.

Even, these nomadic people, as long as they do not change from nomadic to farming for a day, they will be in this life, and it will be difficult for them to really enter the Central Plains.

"The lack of food is indeed a fatal difficulty for them at present, but the more troops they gather, the more advantageous it will be, they are mostly cavalry, as long as they rob nearby, loot the grain and grass of major towns, and the big cities can be stopped."

"However, those small county towns can be easily attacked, and when there is a shortage of food and grass, I am afraid that my big Han people will become their food."

In this era, cannibalism is nothing,

It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that when Liu Bei was fleeing, he was trapped in a hunter's house.

That Orion Liu An admired Liu Bei, and in order to entertain Liu Bei, he actually killed his wife, took his meat, and gave it to Liu Bei to eat.

Although it is a novel, it can be seen that the people of that era were for cannibalism.

And not particularly exclusive.

and Cao Cao's strategist Cheng Yu, in order to raise military rations for Cao Cao, he also used human flesh as military rations.

These are extraordinary measures taken in extraordinary times.

Even the Han people are like this, not to mention, these northern barbarians.

When they had no food or grass, they slaughtered war horses, and even ate the people of the big Han Dynasty.

That's why Liu Zheng is worried that if these vicious wolves are really forced to be in a hurry, they will also take risks.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, we still don't know what the situation of Yuan Xi and the Xianbei people is, and it is useless to be anxious, besides, we have received the news that the battle in Yecheng is over."

"The soldiers and horses who went to Yecheng to support will come over soon, we only need to wait for another two or three days, it will be enough."

"When the time comes, as soon as the army arrives, even if Yuan Xi has the help of Xianbei people, he will definitely perish under the attack of our army."

Guo Jia appeased Liu Zheng, and Liu Zheng nodded.

Didn't say much about these things.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of his apprentice Zhou Yu.
