Chapter 845: Northern Expedition to Youzhou (7)

Ten days passed in a flash.

Because there was a double robbery going on everywhere, all sides stopped fighting.

Of course, except for Sili and Yanzhou.

If the Son of Heaven does not allocate grain for disaster relief, then the people of Sili can only be displaced and go to other places.

After all, if there is no food to eat until April next year, who is still in the mood to farm?

Yanzhou is because of the locust plague, which has led to a large reduction in production, although it is not a grain harvest, but it is almost the same.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao joined forces and launched a strong attack on LΓΌ Bu again.

This time, the combined forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were very strong, and Cao Cao naturally hoped to solve LΓΌ Bu in a short time.

Because only in this way can Cao Cao go to disaster relief with peace of mind.

Otherwise, if Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Lu Bu and others cannot be solved, even if Cao Cao goes to disaster relief, he may end up cheapening Lu Bu and others.

If Lu Bu and the others cannot be solved in a short period of time, after a long time, the vast majority of the people in Yanzhou will also become displaced people and seek a way to survive in other places.

In the case of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Lu Bu and others, they are not capable of disaster relief.

After all, disaster relief requires a large amount of food reserves.

And Cao Cao has been a pastor in Yanzhou for a few years, even if there is a shortage of grain, there will inevitably be a reserve of grain.

It's just a little more or less reserved.

In addition, Cao Cao has been sending people to rob tombs, so he obtained bronzes and minted a small amount of money, and also bought a lot of food.

So Cao Cao still has the ability to go to disaster relief.

At this point, Zhao Feng can also judge that Cao Cao slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou in order to obtain the so-called special energy.

Because since Cao Cao has the ability to come to disaster relief, the lack of food is naturally an excuse to fool others.

In addition, on the Qingzhou side, the fighting is completely over.

After several years of war, Qingzhou completely fell into the hands of Zhang Yan.

And Gongsun Zhan's Tian Kai Department has already led the remnants to take a boat in Donglai County and go to the Liaodong Peninsula.

As for whether Gongsun Chan ordered it or Tian Kai's troops were defeated, it is unknown for the time being.

I only know that the Qingzhou War has officially ended.

There is also a piece of grapevine.

It is a rumor, Yuan Shu is ready to attack Xuzhou.

Zhao Feng and Lu Su both believe that this gossip should still be possible.

After all, Xuzhou was defeated twice by Cao Cao, which was already broken.

If nothing else, Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou this time should have been able to take Xuzhou.

It's just that Yanzhou Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Zhang Chao and others led Lu Bu into Yanzhou.

In this way, Cao Cao could only be forced to return to Yanzhou.

And the war between Cao Cao and LΓΌ Bu, whether it ends in a short time, will still evolve into a war of attrition.

But after the end of this battle, Cao Cao was no longer able to continue the crusade against Xuzhou.

Not to mention, Yanzhou has experienced a locust plague, and if he doesn't recuperate for a few years, Cao Cao will not be able to use troops.

Therefore, it is a very good time for Yuan Shu to attack Xuzhou at this time.

Because if it drags on, it will definitely not be good for Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao aside, as time goes by, Xuzhou Tao Qian will naturally slowly recover his strength.

So Zhao Feng and Lu Su think that this gossip should be true.

If Zhao Feng and Yuan Shu change positions, Zhao Feng will do the same!

In these ten days.

It took five days to organize manpower in Bingzhou and Jizhou.

Now the chickens in Bingzhou are being shipped to Jizhou.

The people recruited by Jizhou are also rushing to the border area, preparing to hinder the entry of locusts.

This matter is related to next year's harvest, so the people have no complaints about it.

It's just relative, the people of Jizhou, in this year's double robbery season, will be more fortunate than before.

Because of the already busy double robbery, it is now necessary to free up manpower to prevent the locusts from entering, so that there will be an even greater shortage of manpower.

Even if it is not possible to completely prevent the entry of locusts, it is necessary to capture a large number of locusts in the border areas as much as possible to eliminate them.

This is also a benefit of stability within the territory.

If Jizhou, like Yanzhou, enters turmoil.

Then it would be impossible to organize manpower to carry out such a large-scale operation.

Like Yanzhou, there is no one to organize manpower to deal with this kind of thing.

Time passed slowly, and another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

Lu Su walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"Tian Beijia has sent the paperwork again."

After speaking, he handed over the paperwork in his hand with both hands.

Xiong Da walked directly to Lu Su, took the paperwork in his hand, and then handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng took the paperwork, opened it directly and checked it.

There are a few points in it.

First, Yuan Shu officially led his troops and invaded Xuzhou.

This has been turned into a reality from the previous gossip.

As for the battle situation in Xuzhou, we can only wait for follow-up news.

At present, it is inconvenient to spread the news, and there is no way to do it.

The second is the news that the border of Jizhou has prevented the entry of locusts.

According to Tian Feng's report, the situation is not very optimistic.

The main reason is that the locust plague is too dense to organize people to catch it.

As for domestic chickens, they don't do much at all.

Not only was it useless, but many chickens were killed by locusts.

Even when they went to capture the people, there were casualties.

Fortunately, most of them were injured, and only a few people died accidentally.

Third, Yuan Shao led his troops to help Cao Cao pacify Chenliu County in Yanzhou.

Chen Liujun returned to Cao Cao's arms.

As for Zhang Miao's family, they were all captured by Yuan Shao and had already sent someone to Cao Cao.

It can be seen that the combat power of Yuan Shao's army is still very powerful.

Cao Cao continued to play with Lu Bu in Puyang.

Zhao Feng finished reading the paperwork and handed it to Xiong Da: "Give Zi Jing a look." ”

Xiong Da took the paperwork and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”

After speaking, he handed over the document to Lu Su.

Wait for Lu Su to finish reading.

Zhao Feng asked directly: "What does Zijing think?" ”

Lu Su pondered for a while: "The matter of Xuzhou, no matter who wins or loses, has nothing to do with us. ”

"The matter of Yanzhou, after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao united, it was only a matter of time before Lu Bu was defeated."

"Now the lord is still concerned about the locust plague in Jizhou!"

Zhao Feng nodded: "The locust plague is too dense, and now the people over there also have a feeling that they have nowhere to start." ”

Speaking of which.

Zhao Feng suddenly discovered why, in the literature, if you want to solve the locust plague, you can only wait for nature to destroy it.

To put it simply, it is necessary to wait for a heavy snowfall in winter to solve the problem of locust plague.

If there is no heavy snowfall, the locust plague will continue next year.

It's just that one or two can be prevented in advance.

After all, it takes time for locust plagues to become large-scale.

If you deduce it this way.

Then Zhao Feng estimated that the locust plague was only a worldwide problem.

Because once the locust plague has become large, it cannot be eliminated even if it is destroyed.

At least the manpower organized by Zhao Feng has no effect for the time being.

So he could only ask: "Can Zijing have any good way?" ”
