In late autumn in October, the wheat fields are golden, the autumn breeze blows on the cheeks, there is no hot summer, and there are a few more wisps of coolness and comfort.

People everywhere took advantage of the good weather to harvest wheat in autumn, and waved their sickles in the fields, sweating profusely, but they were also very happy.

This year, it looks like the harvest is good.

A basket full of rice and wheat was carried by the farmer, who was not tired, showing a happy and simple smile, telling the joy of the harvest.

However, when Lü Bu led his army to several counties near Dongwuyang, the grain in the fields was empty, and even the wheat stalks were burned by the fire, as if the locusts had crossed the border and there was no grass in the past.

The local people sat on the ridge with blank eyes, their eyes empty, and sighed and sighed.

"Chen Wei, let's go and ask what's going on?"

Lu Bu, who was riding on the red man, looked solemn and sent Chen Wei to inquire.

Within a short time, Chen Wei brought back an old farmer in linen.

"Little old man kowtowed to the general."

The old farmer didn't know Lu Bu's identity, and when he saw him sitting on a horse, he was mighty, and he knew that the person in front of him was a big man who was bigger than the county commander, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, knelt on the ground in fear, and kowtowed vigorously.

Lu Bu raised his hand slightly, and Chen Wei helped the old farmer from the side.

"Uncle, what's going on here?" Lu Bu asked.

The old farmer listened to Lu Bu's kind tone, and his hanging heart was put down a lot, and he bowed down and made a big salute, and then said respectfully: "Little Lao'er replied to the general's words, a while ago, a gang of robbers suddenly came here from us, riding horses and carrying knives, and there were a lot of them. This gang of robbers not only plundered the nearby counties and villages, but also set fire to the grain in the fields, and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were all reduced to ashes......

When the old farmer recalled, his words were full of anger and human weakness.

"Are you saying that the wheat in this field was burned up by fire when there was no harvest at all?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, as if he had guessed some clues.

The old farmer nodded and let out a long sigh.

After a year of hard work, in the end, it was a waste of work.

Without food, how can we survive the long winter?

At the critical moment, Hua Xiong stood up, and he clasped his fists with Lu Bu: "Lord, please go with one or two thousand soldiers and horses with the last general, and the last general will go and suppress this gang of robbers, and tell them to spit out all the looted materials and return them to the people everywhere!" ”

Other generals thought the same way.

Lord Bo Yang Xiu smiled suddenly.

"Dezu, what are you laughing at?" Lu Bu glanced at it and couldn't help asking.

"My lord, where are these robbers? It's clearly a guy who claims to be a descendant of the Han family, and in order to stop you from marching towards Dongwuyang, the implementation of the strong wall and clearing the wilderness is really a good means! ”

Yang Xiu had an incomparably conceited smile on his face, and hit the nail on the head, pointing directly to the problem.

Hua Xiong was a little unconvinced by this, and said in a rough voice: "Hey Yang Dezu, are you mistaken, Dongwuyang is Liu Wei's imperial city!" The people of the nearby counties and lands are also his own people, and the people have no food, and they have to starve in the winter. If he can do this, it's too inhumane! ”

"War never pays attention to means, as long as it can be won, what is human nature?"

Guo Jia also interjected in passing at this moment, Liu Bi's destruction is imminent, and if he wants to continue his life, he has to find a way to make Lu Bu retreat without a fight. It is now the autumn harvest, and cutting off the food supply along the way is the best military blow to Lu Bu's army.

And the person who can come up with this strategy should be the strategy of the Xun family.

This was also the only effective means they had any hope of curbing Lü Bu's advance.

"The rebels have really gone too far this time."

Lu Bu's eyes were cold, the two armies were fighting, and it was common for the victorious and defeated soldiers to fight, but Liu Wei should not take tens of thousands of people as victims of the war.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry if you don't have food, after I break through Dongyang City, I won't take a grain of food in the city, and I will share it with you."

Lu Bu's expression eased, and he made a solemn promise, "You can go back and tell the people in the neighborhood, just say that with me Lu Bu here, I will not teach you to endure cold and starve."

"You...... You are the great general Lu Bu! ”

Hearing Lu Bu's name, the old peasant was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He didn't dare to imagine that in his lifetime, he would be able to see this mighty general with his own eyes.

"It's like a fake."

Lu Bu said with a little joking.

The old farmer's heart trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again to thank him.

After the questioning, Chen Wei sent the old peasant away, and Lu Bu fell into deep thought, without the support of grain and grass along the way, the logistics support of the army became a particularly thorny problem.

"But the lord is worried about the lack of food?"

Son-in-law Guo Jia saw that Lu Bu was worried and asked softly.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and did not hide it from him, if the food could not be implemented, this battle would be fought in the later period, and it would become particularly difficult in the later stage.

"Is there a good way to be filial piety?" Lu Bu subconsciously asked.

Guo Jia smiled, pretending to be mysterious: "Actually, it's not that difficult. ”

"Will the plan be released?" Lu Bu hurriedly asked.

"The lord can ask people to post in Bingzhou, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Yanzhou and other places to borrow grain from the people. Those who borrow one bucket can be tax-exempt on the original basis next year, borrow two buckets, and tax exemption two, and so on......"

Guo Jia said slowly.

In the past two years, there have been few natural disasters in these places, and most of the people's families have stored surplus grain, so with Lu Bu's prestige among the people, borrowing grain from the people is not a worry at all.

A bucket of grain is equivalent to twelve and a half catties, a hundred people are one thousand two hundred catties, and ten thousand people are twelve and five thousand catties.

With the population of the area under Lu Bu's jurisdiction now, it is not a problem to get a million catties of grain.

"Wonderful!"

Lu Bu high-fived and praised, and immediately wrote to Chang'an and other places, and went to the local county guard to do it.

After the logistics and food were solved, Lü Bu continued to lead the army in the direction of Dongwuyang.

Report~~~

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu personally led an army of 140,000 and has crossed the Nanliang River!"

Report~~

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu's army has passed through Hexiang, and there are only more than 100 miles left from Dongyang City!"

A series of flying announcements entered the palace.

Since the last defeat, Liu Wei's temperament has changed greatly, and his mood has become irritable and irritable. At this moment, hearing that Lu Bu was approaching Dongwuyang, his face was gloomy, and he threw the porcelain cup on the table to the ground, making a huge 'bang' sound, and the porcelain pieces shattered to the ground.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace didn't know why Liu Wei suddenly became angry, and they fell to their knees in fright, trembling.

Liu Wei clutched the information obtained in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were visible, and he could only hear him gritting his teeth and scolding coldly: "Okay, you Lu Bu, the strong wall and Qingye can't force you away." It seems that you really don't want to give me a way to live! ”

In this case, I will fight you to the death in this Dongwu Yang!
