Chapter 1675: The Battle of Xuzhou (271)

In the current situation, if the war on such a scale drags on for a year and a half, almost no one can afford it, let alone a year, it is half a year, like Cao Cao can no longer bear it, if it were not for the support of Yuan Shao, who has a solid family background, he would have been forced to withdraw his troops a long time ago, this is the reality, as for Liu Lan, his situation is actually not much better as far as he knows, Xuzhou's grain storage is not as good as Tao Qian's period, in fact, if it is not for the timely replenishment of this year's autumn harvest, Liu Lan may have fallen into a food shortage crisis.

Although Cao Cao said that he wanted to fight a protracted war with Liu Lan, no one in the war did not want to fight quickly, especially Cao Cao, who got hundreds of thousands of stone grain from Yuan Shao, and it seemed that the logistics were guaranteed, but if all the food was consumed on the battlefield in Xuzhou, he would feel that it was a great waste.

With hundreds of thousands of stone grains, he can do a lot of things.

Cao Cao has suffered too much from lack of food over the years, and what he cares about the most is that the troops retreat in victory because of the lack of food, such as the battle with Zhang Xiu, although it is largely because of the enemy's tricks, but not because the grain and grass were destroyed?

After all, there is a shortage of grain and grass, and it is difficult for Cao Cao to go out on the expedition like Liu Lan and Yuan Shao to recruit people to escort grain and grass, so they can only use troops to escort them, but the existence of people is not just about transporting grain, they are more of a reserve, once the troops are lost, these people can go up as soon as possible.

But he can't, he doesn't have the financial resources, and this leads to the fact that after being attacked by Zhang Xiu, he can only transfer Xiahou's Shanyang army from afar, instead of letting the people come up temporarily, this delay is big, and when Xiahou arrives, the best time has been missed, and finally continue to fight with the enemy, it is completely meaningless, if it is not for Yuan Shu to ask for help at this time, so that Cao Cao can find an excuse to retreat, he may hold on for another ten days and a half months, and he can only retreat.

But the retreat of the army without anything will inevitably be subject to some pressure, and the pressure of Xu Du is established, and he can support Yuan Shu's return in the name, which is much simpler to explain.

It is precisely because of the thin family background that Cao Cao attaches great importance to these most practical things, soldiers and money and food, and the whole Xuzhou, the richest place is not Xiapi and Guangling, as for the city of Dongguan, the situation over the years is not good, after all, after several wars, especially the Dongguan County that Yuan Shao has twice broken The situation is the worst, but Peng Chengguo and Xiapi and Guangling are different, Xiapi and Guangling, are the same as Guangling, they are the counties that were not destroyed when Liu Lan attacked Tao Qian, plus Liu Lan has moved people to supplement Pengcheng in recent years, In fact, six or seven out of ten sentences have been restored, but the rest of the place is not ideal as far as he knows.

Therefore, Cao Cao seemed to have suffered a big loss in this negotiation with Yuan Shao, but in fact, he included the most populous counties in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was naturally proud that this matter could be successful, but Guo Jia put down the teacup, smiled bitterly, and said: "I feel that this matter is a little strange, Yuan Shao is sometimes a little short-sighted, and even greedy for cheapness, but can't the masterminds around him think of this, if they can't think of it, then it's just that, if they think of it, why didn't they dissuade Yuan Shao, but returned it."

。 Could there be any problems with being passed so easily? ”

Guo Jia's worries have some reason, but it will not be too easy to find the answer, as for the truth, let alone think about it, I want to know what Yuan Shao thinks, unless the answer is revealed, of course, Cao Cao's scouts in Jizhou can actually play some role, but how can this kind of top-secret news be leaked?

Cao Cao didn't leak his voice and said: "No matter what Yuan Shao's reason and purpose is, but at least we have a lot of benefits now, and that's enough, as for the rest, there is no need to think about it so much." Cao Cao also picked up the tea bowl on the low table, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "The tea leaves in Xuzhou are indeed more fragrant than the tea cakes sold in Xudu." ”

Cao Cao changed the topic, Guo Jia sighed slightly in his heart, did not answer, he was not interested in Xuzhou's tea, he only liked fine wine, and recently he was as strong as possible, obsessed with Xuzhou spirits, it can be regarded as smelling the fragrance, when he was in Xuzhou, he followed the aroma of wine to find the official brewing workshop in Xuzhou, but the workers of the workshop had already left the building, leaving only an empty large room, and some of the strange objects that had not been moved away were only curious about Guo Jia, but they did not attract his attention, But what really caught his attention were the fine wines that exuded a strong fragrance.

When I got down to my stomach, I was choked and vomited out, it was too spicy, but it was really mellow. He has traveled all kinds of wine over the years, and he has tasted all kinds of wine, but it is the first time in his life that he has tasted such a mellow and strong wine. It was because of this tasting that he discovered that the spirits brewed by Xuzhou's official brewing are called wine, and other places are no different from water.

He immediately moved all the only jars back, with his amount of wine, Xu Du's official brew and even palace brew, he was not drunk without drinking a few liters, but that night he was drunk and unconscious, and he only drank a bottle.

Good wine, really good wine, and the most critical point is that when he woke up the next day, he found that there was no discomfort, this is something that has never happened to drunk in the past, drunk in the past, the second day it was absolutely dizzy, headache and brain swelling, but this time it didn't happen, and he was in good spirits, as if he hadn't drunk alcohol at all last night.

That's it.

In the current situation, if the war on such a scale drags on for a year and a half, almost no one can afford it, let alone a year, it is half a year, like Cao Cao can no longer bear it, if it were not for the support of Yuan Shao, who has a solid family background, he would have been forced to withdraw his troops a long time ago, this is the reality, as for Liu Lan, his situation is actually not much better as far as he knows, Xuzhou's grain storage is not as good as Tao Qian's period, in fact, if it is not for the timely replenishment of this year's autumn harvest, Liu Lan may have fallen into a food shortage crisis.
