But after thinking about it, Zhao Feng secretly said that Tao Qian was cunning.

Because in this way, Zhao Feng has to ensure that Tao Qian will not be eliminated within four years.

Otherwise, don't count on these grains.

This also shows that Tao Qian knows that Cao Cao will inevitably continue to attack Xuzhou.

Then he wanted to use these two million stone grains to drag himself down.

In this way, when Cao Cao crusaded against Tao Qian next time, if Zhao Feng didn't want Tao Qian to be destroyed, he could only continue to send troops to help.

Of course, Tao Qian will definitely continue to compensate for the benefits.

It can be paid in installments anyway.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Brother Ji Jue will go to Tan County again." ”

"Go and tell Tao Qian that after harvesting the grain in April, the agreement must be completed."

"If you can't deliver two million stone of grain, just say I don't want two million stone of grain."

"Then transfer the grain to Liu Bei!"

Cui Yan waved at Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

After Zhao Feng figured it out, he naturally wouldn't let Tao Qian use this little trick to drag himself out.

Anyway, Zhao Feng is not short of food.

And transferring the grain to Liu Bei can be regarded as sponsoring Liu Bei in advance.

Not to mention that it can brush Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's favorability, it can also speed up Liu Bei's development.

Because Zhao Feng knew that if he still developed according to the official history, Xuzhou would eventually fall into the hands of Liu Bei.

And the stronger Liu Bei is, the more he will be able to slow down Cao Cao's expansion.

You must know that two million stone of grain is enough for Liu Bei to recruit an army of 50,000 and then raise it for two years.

With an army of 50,000, Liu Bei could do a lot.

Before dark.

Cui Yan returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Qi Zhao Zhoumu!" ”

Tao Qian said that even after harvesting spring grain in April, he would not be able to get two million stone of grain.

"But he is willing to find a way to scrape together a million stone of grain and hand it over to us."

"The other one million stones, still according to the previous statement."

Zhao Feng pondered for a while: "This matter is like this." ”

"Brother Ji Jue go down and rest."

Then he turned his head to look at Xiong Da: "Pass the order, the army will start tomorrow!" ”

"In addition, send someone to tell Tao Qian and Liu Bei that I gave Liu Bei the one million stone grain."

"As for whether Liu Bei wants it or not, let him decide for himself!"

Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”

After speaking, together with Cui Yan, he withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

One million stone of grain was the first benefit fee that Tao Qian was willing to pay.

Even now, he still gave a million stone of grain.

For Zhao Feng, it was a convenient benefit anyway.

At the same time, he also transferred another million stone grain to Liu Bei.

You know, one million stone of grain is also a lot of money.

Smaller counties, or counties with smaller populations, pay as much as they do a year.

You must know that Zhao State, Anping State, and Qinghe State pay taxes a year, and it is only about one million stones.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhao Feng led the army and officially began to return.

In this way, the speed of the march will naturally be greatly improved.

After entering the country of Langya.

Zhao Feng was surprised to find that Cao Cao still did not occupy Langya Kingdom this time.

You must know that last time, Cao Cao took more than ten cities in Langya Kingdom.

It was only because of problems in Yanzhou that Cao Cao hurriedly withdrew, which led to Cao Cao not occupying those cities in Langya.

Last time, I won more than ten cities, maybe it was not easy to defend it, so I chose to give up.

But this time, Cao Cao took the entire Langya Kingdom.

In other words, as long as Cao Cao sent troops to garrison troops in a few key places, he could also pocket Langya State.

But Cao Cao still chose to give up.

It can be seen that Cao Cao's statement that he withdrew his troops because of lack of food should be untenable.

Because even if there is a shortage of food, it will not affect Cao Cao to completely occupy the Langya Kingdom.

Therefore, Zhao Feng estimated that this time it was some people in Yanzhou who had a different heart for Cao Cao.

After all, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou this time and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people was too cruel.

There must be many people who can't get used to Cao Cao's actions.

In this case, Cao Cao blocked the news too late, so naturally he would not publicize it.

Because if one is not handled well, Yanzhou will not be protected.

In addition, Zhao Feng also estimated that it was precisely because of this time that those people still did not succeed.

So I can only choose to seek help from outside forces.

In this way, it is reasonable for Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others to introduce Lu Bu to Yanzhou.

According to this speculation, Zhao Feng's heart was also quite different.

Because in the official history, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were good friends.

Therefore, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others went to find Lu Bu to enter Yanzhou, instead of looking for Yuan Shao to enter Yanzhou.

But in today's situation, Zhao Feng monopolizes the land of the two states.

In terms of ability, there is naturally nothing to say, and the relationship with Cao Cao is average.

That Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others will have a great possibility to invite Zhao Feng to Yanzhou.

Of course, it's all just speculation.

However, Zhao Feng is still looking forward to this.

After 20 days, Zhao Feng led the army and officially returned to Jizhou.

When passing through Qingzhou.

Zhang Yan is still fighting with Tian Kai.

However, judging from the news, Zhao Feng estimates that this year's Qingzhou war will be completely over.

And the winning side, there is an eighty percent chance that it will be Zhang Yan.

Because at present, Gongsun Zhan's Tian Kai department has been beaten to Donglai County.

As for the other two percent, that is, Gongsun Chan will send troops to aid Tian Kai's department.

And Zhang Yan will be because of food, this old and difficult problem will be the same as before!

But this time it's a little different.

Previously, Zhang Yan could also ask Zhao Feng to borrow grain, but because Zhenggu occupied Xiu County, Bohai County, Zhang Yan never gave an answer.

The relationship between the two sides is not as good as before.

Even on the return trip from Qingzhou this time, Zhao Feng's sentry cavalry found some abnormalities.

It was only because of some unknown reason that Zhang Yan or Zhang Yan's subordinates did not do it.

As for the reasons, there are just a few.

First, Zhao Feng's army is still quite numerous.

After all, Zhao Feng went to Xuzhou once, and as long as he fought a few times, he would lose tens of thousands of people.

Second, Zhao Feng did not return with a large amount of food.

For hundreds of thousands of stone grain, it's not worth it.

After all, Tao Qian spent two million stone grains to seek Zhao Feng's help, even if Zhao Feng didn't say it, Tao Qian would say it.

This is also to let those princes who are short of food come to help Tao Qian.

Even if there is no one this time, but what about next time?

For example, Zhang Yan will be moved by two million stone grains.

Fortunately, no matter what the reason, Zhao Feng returned to Jizhou safely.

After arriving in Jizhou, Zhao Feng was completely relaxed.

Then he directly led the army and rushed to Ye County, Wei County, in eight days.

After a day of rest in Ye County, Zhao Feng got a lot of news about the battle ahead.

To sum up, the results are remarkable, but there is no longer the ability to continue the offensive.

Therefore, Zhao Feng's new force is urgently needed to join in!
