Chapter 678 Xun Yu, Guo Jia's Helpless (2)

It is the same as investors who choose to invest in later generations. No matter how much you say, if you cannot prove your value and do not have the ability to make more money, investors will not even give you a single slaughter.

Of course, Cao Cao blocked the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Shouzhang County and became the frontier of Jiyin and Shanyang County. The major families will never turn a blind eye to it and will definitely give certain support, which is nothing more than the support.

As Cao Cao performed better and better on the battlefield, all major families will definitely provide more support accordingly. However, everyone knows the weakness of refugees. The Heishan Army of Lucai Mountain is the most typical example. Yuan Shao blocked the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River. The Heishan Army of Lucai Mountain was unable to cross the river and fight back to his nest. After the time was delayed, the 100,000 people exposed to the wild were completely finished. Cai Yong was able to capture the 100,000 Heishan Army alone.

The real case is placed in front of all major families in Yanzhou, and each major family will naturally drag the last battle until the beginning of winter, until the food rations of millions of refugees are exhausted.

The major families in Yanzhou hope to drag the war to winter and use the severe cold and hunger to defeat the millions of Yellow Turban Army. Cao Cao was not so optimistic. The reason why the Heishan Army in Lucai Mountain was in a desperate situation was because Yuan Shao cut off Yu Du and Zhang Zao's retreat and trapped the 100,000 Heishan Army in a narrow area of ​​Dongjun, but what about the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army? Their retreat was not cut off, and they could completely retreat into Qingzhou.

Once the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army retreat to Qingzhou, they will be able to enter Yanzhou again in the future.

Cao Cao had a big fight with Zhang Chao. Maybe he was in a bad mood. He was drunk at the banquet, which also made Xun Yu, who was disappointed. Guo Jia was stunned. He thought that Cao Cao convinced Zhang Miao to support him with all his strength. He was happy to drink a few more drinks, and was about to ask...

"Short-sighted and vulgar"

Cao Cao roared angrily, Xun Yu, Guo Jia couldn't help looking at each other...

"It's all short-sighted and vulgar--"

Cao Cao pushed Xun Yu away, then suddenly grabbed Xun Yu's collar, and his eyes widened.

"Wenruo, can you and Fengxiao gain something?"

Seeing Cao Cao's solemn look, Xun Yu sighed in his heart. He and Guo Jia visited more than ten families, hoping that they could spend more money, but...

"well……"

"Yanzhou has been hit by disasters one after another, and the difficulties of each company are also the truth..."

Cao Cao suddenly pushed Xun Yu away, and his eyes were burning with anger.

"Excuse!"

"It's all excuses!"

Cao Cao stretched out two fingers in front of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, staring at the two of them with his eyes.

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Twenty-one thousand cool and elite—"

"After Dong Xining went north to Yanmen County, did he not fight every year? He could support 200,000 soldiers and horses in the barren wasteland with 300,000 prisoners. Yanzhou's land is fertile. Is it worse than Yanmen County-"

"Yanzhou has a population of four million, which is more than Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sili School Command, and Hanzhong!"

"He Dong Xining can support 200,000 Liang and elite troops. Can't Yanzhou--"

Cao Cao waved his arm suddenly, his face full of ashen.

"Excuse!"

"It's all excuses!"

"Fuck...you must farm!"

"must--"

After Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other, they knew about Dong Hu's military farming process. However, although Dong Hu captured many Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, they had enough food to farm for one year. Although millions of Qingzhou thieves also looted everywhere, they did not obtain food to farm for one year.

Maybe some people say this is wrong. The Yellow Turban Army also robbed everywhere and they could grab a lot of money and grain. Now the Qingzhou army has a million, so why can't they grab enough food for military farms?

The facts are still so cruel.

Although Dong Hu captured 200,000 to 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, he did not lack food for military farming, but the Qingzhou Army is now short of food!

Anyone who knows a little about Cao Cao's history of making a fortune knows that Cao Cao did not actually defeat the Qingzhou army, but the Qingzhou army took the initiative to lean against him. If the Qingzhou army had food, they would never surrender!

They all rebelled before summer grain, so why did they have different results? The reason is that Dong Hu and others have different attitudes towards the "Yellow Turban Army".

Whether it is the Yellow Turban Army in the first year of Zhongping or the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the current eyes, in Dong Hu's eyes, they are all people. If there is any difference, it is that the Yellow Turban Army in the first year of Zhongping was the people who were bewitched by Taiping Dao, but now they are just simple hungry people and refugees.

Dong Hu attached importance to the cultivation and harvesting season. If he could control the situation on the battlefield, he always consciously avoided this season and started the war. Ten years ago, he and Beigong Boyu, Shao, ran to Yuzhongsai City when Lao Wang was fighting for the battle. He was afraid that he would miss the cultivation season and captured hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, and then gritted his teeth in the winter to go north to Yanmen County. This is not without this reason. In addition, when he later fought with Han Sui and Ma Teng, Liangzhou, and when he fought with the princes of Guandong, after the great victory in Kaifeng, he immediately stopped because of the summer grain harvest season.

If he could control the situation on the battlefield, he would put food security first. When Yanzhou and Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army fought, they did not avoid the summer harvest season and stopped fighting. If the two sides fought repeatedly in this season, a large amount of food would definitely be wasted. What's more, the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army were not from Yanzhou, and Yanzhou suddenly added millions of mouths. Not to mention that there was a war, even if it did not happen, it would be an unbearable burden for the entire Yanzhou.

In the first year of Zhongping, he consciously dispersed the five thousand cavalry and created the illusion of a large cavalry army. One purpose was to force the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou to retreat and gather together. The other purpose was to eliminate the people's panic about the Yellow Turban Army and allow the people to go out of the city to harvest the mature wheat.

When the wheat was ripe, even if he knew that the Yellow Turban Army was huddled together and knew that they were rushing to harvest the wheat, Dong Hu ignored it.

I cut mine, you cut yours, Dong Hu's attitude is very clear, and there will be no war when the wheat harvests.

The Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou was originally a native of Yuzhou. Even if they did not rebel, there would be one of their wheat in the fields of Yuzhou. Even if the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou rebelled, no one would be killed. As long as the wheat in the fields was harvested smoothly, even if hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army took away their own rations, there would be no famine in Yuzhou.

Other places where the Yellow Turban Army were affected were different, because Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and the court were too tough, and they were still fighting each other in a tug-of-warming season, fighting each other in various places. Even if some people were brave enough to harvest wheat, they were highly concentrated. Once others came with a knife, they would immediately give up the harvested wheat and run away, which also made countless mature wheat a pile of soil.

The Qingzhou army is also like this now. When they harvested wheat, they repeatedly fought with the counties and states in Yanzhou. Except for Jiyin, Shanyang, and the southern part of Dongjun, which could harvest wheat with peace of mind, the rest of the places were in war. During repeated tugs of war and war, no one could do anything to harvest the mature wheat with all their might, and a large amount of grain was evaporated invisibly.

It takes only a few days to harvest wheat. Once you miss it, the annual ration is over. As for using the reserved fields to plant autumn grain, soybeans and sorghum, the yield per mu is only one stone per mu (actually only fifty or sixty kilograms), while the yield of wheat and rice is three stone (actually one hundred and fifty kilograms). Autumn grain, soybeans and sorghum are just supplements of the grain gap. The main grain of the people is still wheat and rice, but the food in the north is mainly wheat.

It is impossible for the millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to obtain enough food for military farming when the two sides compete. What's more, there are a large number of local people in Yanzhou caused by the war. When Cao Cao spoke about "mixing farming", Xun Yu and Guo Jia sighed in his heart.

How to defeat millions of Qingzhou thieves is still a problem, Cao Cao was thinking about the more difficult military farming matters...

"Must farming!"

Cao Cao spoke firmly again, perhaps in order to ease the heavy atmosphere, Cao Cao shifted the topic to Luoyang.

"Faith filial piety."

"Is there any abnormal movement in Luoyang?"

Guo Jia frowned and thought...

"There is no abnormal movement in Luoyang for the time being. Except for the young army staying in Luoyang, Dong Hu transferred almost all the elite troops into Hongnong County and was confronting and fighting with Li Jue and Guo Si in Tongguan."

Cao Cao nodded silently and suddenly spoke.

"Will Dong Hu suddenly send troops to attack while our army was fighting with the Yellow Turban thieves?"

...

"It's hard to say that Dong Xining's control over the situation is awe-inspiring. It's hard to say whether he will suddenly attack our army at a critical moment."

When Xun Yu heard Guo Jia say this, he was a little uncertain.

"It shouldn't be? Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked Chang'an again. After the two killed Wang Situ, the two had already controlled the government and today they told the world that Dong Xining was a traitor and wanted each county to send troops to serve the king. How could Dong Xining let Li Jue and Guo Si go easily?"

Cao Cao nodded silently and frowned again. It was already July. It had been two months since Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo. Everyone in the world knew that Dong Zhuo was dead. Then there was news that Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked Chang'an and Luoyang mobilized troops. Then it was Xun Yu's words that the court issued an edict to the world to serve the king, and Dong Hu also became a rebellion of the court...

"Can the people of Luoyang be in turmoil?"

When Xun Yu saw Cao inquire about the situation in Luoyang, he felt a little bitter on his face.

"Maybe it was because Dong Xining's military farming to support the people, there was no turmoil in Luoyang..."

"snort!"

As soon as he heard the word "military farming", Cao Cao felt anger in no way. He was stupid and angry at the greed of various major families. But he also knew that the difficulties he faced were not only the major families in Yanzhou, but the most fatal threat was the Lintao tiger kid...

"I think that bastard doesn't have the energy to care about us anymore. Not to mention the matter of the Black Mountain Army in Taihang Mountains, only Chenliu County..."

Cao Cao frowned and looked at Guo Jia.

"There are only five thousand soldiers in Chenliu County. If our army attacks Chenliu, what do you think Fengxiao thinks?"

Guo Jia was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"As the lord thought, Chenliu County eliminated five thousand old and weak some time ago, and now only five thousand soldiers are left. Liu Sheng is a cowardly and fearful person. If the lord wants to seize the money and food in Chenliu County, he only needs to send a general. However... If Chenliu County loses, Dong Xining will definitely abandon Guanzhong and attack Yanzhou. However, there are millions of Qingzhou thieves in Yanzhou at that time..."

"Please be careful, lord."

Even if Guo Jia didn't say these words, Cao Cao's heart was as clear as a mirror. On that day, Dong Hu forced all the princes to retreat. Wasn't it just in the name of "Yellow Turban Thieves"? If Dong Hu was angry, Yanzhou would be attacked by the Qingzhou army in the east and Luoyang in the west. Cao Cao naturally did not want to do so. The key was that he had no money and grain to recruit more troops. Seeing Chenliu County farming and harvesting grain with peace of mind, he was a little moved and grabbed Chenliu County. When asked Guo Jia, he also hoped that Guo Jia would give a plan not to anger Dong Hu.

"Forget..."

Cao Cao failed to get the answer he expected, and in the end he had no choice but to look at Xun Yu again and look forward to his expectation.

"Wen Ruo, are the families still unwilling to take out money and food?"

Xun Yu sighed, "All families are worried that their lords are like Liu Dai. Liu Dai first spent countless money and food during the alliance, and then the Black Mountain Army of Luchang Mountain, and now the Yellow Turban Thief in Qingzhou..."

"Liu Dai spent countless money and food but failed to win. The major families were quite worried, and they were worried that the lord would also waste money and food as well as the defeat, so..."

"Excuse!"

"It's all excuses!"

Cao Cao breathed a heavy breath and was very angry.
