First, Liu Lan didn't know how many Jizhou troops Gao Ran secretly brought south to cross the Yellow River, but there was one thing Liu Lan dared to guarantee, it was definitely not a number sent back by spies.

5,000 people, Yuan Shao tried his best to secretly cross the Yellow River for 5,000 people, which is absolutely impossible, so Liu Lan suspects that he is very likely to let the Jizhou army enter the army of people who escort grain and grass into Qingzhou at the previous stage, and how many Jizhou soldiers are mixed in is the key, of course, it cannot be ruled out that Gao Lan has hidden the sky and the sea, and the spy has not been able to detect it.

So no matter which result it is, Liu Lan can be sure of one thing, that is, Yuan Shao must have secretly deployed the Jizhou army, and now he and Wen Chou are just staying in the plain to attract attention, and they are just suspicious soldiers.

If all these speculations can be true, then everything he guessed may really happen, and he can only hope that Gao Ran didn't bring many people over, then the situation may be better, and if they find it out in time, they can react, and they will have a way to deal with it, and they won't be too passive, which will give them more time to adjust.

And if the main force is all south, then there is nothing to be done, even if he now transfers the mountain camp to Langya, I am afraid that it will be too late to go, although Langya left a lot of troops, and also sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but the disparity in strength is too great, when the time comes, Gao Ran will take Kaecheng is not a problem, and can even take advantage of the victory to sweep the entire Xuzhou, although Liu Lan now regards Jiangdong as the foundation of the future, but Xuzhou is the foundation of his current ability to maintain the status quo, and the main force is supplied by the grain produced in Xuzhou, Once something happens in Xuzhou, they can only withdraw to Jiangdong, and now in Jiangdong, they can't afford to raise this little force, so they can only disarm, which also means that there is no longer a chance to go north to seize the Central Plains.

After a while, Xu Chu and Xu Sheng, who left, returned one after another, and the Setshan camp was already preparing, and they would leave as soon as possible, and the flying pigeons had been sent out, and the Xuzhou internal guards would release the flying pigeons from Xuzhou to Kaecheng after arriving in Xuzhou City.

But how could Liu Lan at this time be at ease, in fact, as far as Liu Lan himself is concerned, there are actually a lot of thoughts flashing in his heart, and even retreating directly to Guangling has become one of the options, but because of various factors, Liu Lan still wants to make one last effort.

As for the result, it can only be handed over to God, he can't see it, he naturally hopes that it will be a good result, but how can many things be satisfactory? But he didn't know that Chen Gong at this moment had been completely convinced of Liu Lan, and he was not afraid of danger immediately, and with such a person, even if he failed, he was willing.

Under the leadership of Zhou Cang, the Setshan camp went to Langya overnight, everything came too suddenly, and they thought that their focus was to deal with Cao Cao, but who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly, and they knew that it would be so, and it was better to go to Langya with Guan Yu half a month ago.

Of course, this is not questioning Liu Lan's decision, but he is not prepared for the situation to change too quickly, and marches all the way, because the autumn harvest is about to begin, and there are golden wheat fields on both sides of the road, and there is no end in sight.

With Yuan Shao's southward movement, the day of this year's autumn harvest has advanced a lot, under the leadership of the county orders of the counties, the people in the pavilions began to harvest in advance, and the wheat fields are full of officials and people who are harvesting, and even the county soldiers have put down the things at hand, it can be said that the first priority in the whole Xuzhou is to grab the harvest.

"Our Xuzhou is really full of disasters and difficulties." During the march, Chen Feng said to Zhou Cang beside him, the latter sighed, looking at the scene of harvesting the wheat field in front of him, he had many emotions in his heart, the autumn harvest in the past few years, was in Liu Lan led the Xuzhou hundred officials to sacrifice three animals to thank God for the gift of God after the start of harvesting grain, this is a centuries-old tradition, spring plowing and autumn harvest have to hold a grand sacrifice, but now because of the war, in recent years, the lord has the opportunity to lead the hundred officials to sacrifice to the sky during the spring ploughing, but during the autumn harvest, there has been no sacrifice for several years.

This situation will not make people feel comfortable anyway, and I always feel that if I continue like this, something will happen sooner or later, and I will be wrathed by God. However, Zhou Cang, who doesn't know much about political affairs, is not clear, in fact, Liu Lan takes the lead in sacrificing every day, just to make a appearance, and it seems that he attaches enough importance to it, in fact, most of these things are the responsibility of the five senses of each county, and if the county guard has no time or is implicated in other things, the county order will be responsible.

Therefore, in recent years, although Liu Lan has not had a home spring and autumn sacrifice for a long time because of the Battle of Xuzhou, there has always been a county guard and county order instead, although the scale is a little smaller, but the purpose has been achieved, besides, Liu Lan did not believe in these ghosts and gods, but these are all inherited, such as worshipping ghosts from the Yin Shang period, and worshipping the sky from the Zhou Dynasty, so following the customs, Liu Lan can only do some similar superficial articles, otherwise, it seems too different, but it is difficult to survive in this era.

And this is also the reason why Liu Lan has been able to go so smoothly over the years, he came to this era, not thinking about changing the people of the world with his own vision of later generations, which is very difficult, so he has to integrate into this era first, and he started from the beginning of learning the ancient texts, little by little to get closer to the people of this era, and in the perspective of the people of this era to find a way to change some of their thinking more prudently.

The simplest point is to run the household register, Liu Lan only used a very simple way to cancel the business registration, that is, to let more people get benefits from business, in this case, whether they want to become a business or continue to use the civil registration, at a glance, so many things are logically successful, but if he does not have these previous arrangements, but directly cancels the business registration, then not only in the scholar class there will be a rebound, but even more so in the people.

For hundreds of years, the people can be proud of their dignity despite being poor, and the merchants are rich but they can't even wear silk clothes, so even if they have money, they can only hang the label of merchant status, and once there is any war disaster, such people will be sent to the battlefield like cattle to die.

But starting from Pei County, the status of merchant workers began to improve, although the Han Dynasty has been more relaxed about commerce, but the environment is relaxed, in fact, only for the scholars, they can engage in commercial activities, but that is also someone else to hang the merchant to carry the black pot, for the scholars, they are getting high returns at the same time, they can continue to walk on the official road, and even have money to pave the road, more smooth.

At the same time that Zhou Cang led the main force to Langya, Gao Ran had already entered Linzi City at nightfall, because of his bad relationship with Yuan Tan, he had been stationed in Beihai County, but he would soon be transferred back to Yecheng, because when Gao Ran arrived in Beihai, this order would be announced, and the troops in his hands would become Gao Lan's troops.

As for Yuan Tan, he also understands his own situation, the troops under his command were originally Yan Liang's troops, but they were temporarily commanded by him, he didn't expect to occupy it all the time, this time Gao Ran arrived, of course he returned the military power very quickly, of course, the most important point is that the relationship between the two is still very good, from the friendship formed in the battle of Jizhou, in the battle of Qingzhou together, it can be said that the two are really in trouble, this time he has no chance to go south to Xuzhou with Gao Lan, but he also understands that he can still stay in Qingzhou, although it is his father's open side, but it is not Gao Ran's intercession, so that he can have such a grain and grass official.

As for the history of Qingzhou Thorn, although he also values it, but after all, this private soldier has only been formed for a short time, and it has only been trained for a few months, so it is impossible for him to play a role, so he is also very interested in not wanting to get involved, and do a good job in his division.

Of course, this is not questioning Liu Lan's decision, but he is not prepared for the situation to change too quickly, and marches all the way, because the autumn harvest is about to begin, and there are golden wheat fields on both sides of the road, and there is no end in sight.
