Chapter 55
Wenpin took a lot of effort to transfer stone catapults from Xiangyang, and bombarded them for half an hour, smashing the city walls and houses riddled with holes, the drums of war and the flying dust in the city finally settled down.

Countless refugees and common people fled from it, screaming and falling, and their hearts were filled with infinite anger. Grandma is a bear, and she will kill her own people!Is this Liu Biao old man really old and confused?

After Wen Pin asked, he learned that the city had long been invincible, and the drums and dust were all caused by some hooligans.

Wen Ping was so angry that he led his troops to rush in, but there was no one in Liqiu City.

Wei Yan said in a muffled voice: "General, from the point of view of the last general, the bandit army is likely to go south to Dangyang at night, so it is better to send troops to suppress them as soon as possible."

Wenpin was angry and sighed: "Now that Xiangyang is in danger, this general should return to the army and stick to Xiangyang to boost the morale of the army."

"Wei Yan listened to the order, led the soldiers of the headquarters, and immediately went south to chase down the bandit army. Only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed."

Wei Yan was overjoyed, stepped forward and replied, "The general will follow orders."

Now Wei Yan led his troops to Dangyang County, but before entering Dangyang, he heard that Jiangxia's Xiling was defeated, and Cheng Yaojin had already retreated to Jiangxia overnight, all in vain.

Jiangxia and Xiling City.

Back and forth, less than half a month has passed, and the time has reached the beginning of May 200 AD. Cao Cao is really not a bad guy. deadlock.

In view of the current situation in Xiling Prefect's Mansion, Yuan Yao really didn't dare to continue to expand the battle situation, and Sun Ce started to move again. This time, he did not attack Lujiang County directly, but attacked Guangling County in Xuzhou.

Lujiang County and Jiangxia County are not places with long-term peace and stability, and it is very uncomfortable to confront each other on all sides.

Yuan Yao looked around at the people around him, and said: "Everyone, the situation is getting more and more critical now. I want to cultivate first, and after the new army's training is over, I will plan a great cause."

"My lord's words are true. There is an urgent report from Lujiang County. Someone is deliberately driving up the price of rice. The people are starved of food. There is also the Yellow Turban bandit Liu Pi who drove more than ten thousand refugees into the Dabie Mountains. We have to guard against it."

Du Ruhui replied.

They all thought they were easy to bully, and they all wanted to make up their minds, Yuan Yao shouted loudly: "Cheng Yaojin, lead two thousand soldiers, and come with me to destroy the thieves tomorrow!"

Cheng Yaojin replied in a loud voice: "Well, my big axe is already very hungry and thirsty."

Du Ruhui quickly shook his head and said, "My lord, have you forgotten that water can carry a boat and capsize it?"

"Now the two counties have a limited population. Of the ten thousand or so refugees, at least half of them are men, and most of them are lonely and helpless. If we recruit the more than ten thousand refugees and select young people from them, we can form a new army. After training, you must be a strong tiger and wolf teacher."

Yuan Yao's brain flashed, as if in history, Cao Cao had incorporated the Yellow Turban Army, known as the Qingzhou Army, and was still a hereditary soldier.

Du Ruhui continued: "The lord can open up another place for those old and weak women and children to support their families. In this way, all the refugees and people in the world will come to the lord."

The War of the Three Kingdoms, to put it bluntly, was a war of population. Liu Bei and Sun Quan did not fight Cao Cao together.

Cao Cao died with [-] to [-] soldiers, and after a year or so, he can make a comeback, while Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others will need at least three to five years to regain their strength. This is the essential difference.

It's like picking up an egg and hitting a rock. I have already been smashed to pieces, and others have only dropped the tip of the iceberg.

Yuan Yao was overjoyed, looked at Du Ruhui respectfully, and said, "If Du Gong hadn't reminded me in time, I'm afraid we'd have to take another detour."

"Okay, let's recruit these more than ten thousand refugees, who will be the lobbyist?"

Du Ruhui persuaded again: "Even if we want to recruit these more than ten thousand refugees, we still need to preemptively defeat the thieves, otherwise it will be difficult to govern."

Good idea!

He really is very scheming, and everything is hidden.

Li Jijin said: "The Dabie Mountains are so vast that it is really difficult to wipe out all the refugees. It is better to win by defeat."

Win by defeat?

What's the point of this?
Yuan Yao said with a smile: "The military master said to lure the snake out of the cave, and then pretended to attack that it would be unfavorable, and led the refugees out of Dabie Mountain, and then took the opportunity to attack them in one fell swoop."

Li Ji responded: "What the lord said coincides with what I have said. There is no food and no houses in the Dabie Mountains. How long can the refugees survive? They will definitely go out to grab food. Longshu County is the closest to here. If the county is deliberately Give it to the refugees, at most three to five days, the refugees all over the mountains and fields will enter this city, when the time comes..."

Good strategy!

Jiangxia County, as the springboard for Yuan Yao to set foot on Jingzhou, is not a mistake. Although it only occupied four counties of Xiling, Xiazhi, E County, and Xiyang, its strategic position is very important.

"Du Gong, who can be stationed in Xiling?"

Du Ruhui said solemnly: "General Huang, as a native of Jingzhou, has the courage of all men, so he can stay in Xiling. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

Yuan Yao nodded and said: "What Du Gong said is very true, leaving General Huang to garrison here is really the best choice."

"Old General Huang, I have worked hard for you to sit in Xiling and exercise the power of Jiangxia prefect."

Huang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Veteran Huang Zhong, take orders."

Yuan Yao turned back to Gan Ning and said: "Xingba, if General Huang is going to force you to do so, you must do your best to help."

Gan Ning said calmly, "My lord, don't worry, I will take care of it in the end."

At present, Yuan Yao left 2000 soldiers led by Huang Zhong to garrison Xiling, 2000 soldiers of the Ganning Second Army Navy stationed in Xiazhi, and 1000 troops stationed in Xunyang to guard the way of the river.

Yuan Yao followed Cheng Yaojin, Qin Liangyu and others back to Wan County, Lujiang County, and prepared to deal with the refugees from Dabie Mountain.

As soon as he returned to Wan County, Yuan Yin rushed to the door before his butt was hot.

"Boping, Lujiang County is going to run out of food!"

Yuan Yin's expression was flustered. As Yuan Yao's uncle and the logistics manager of Lujiang County, the burden on him was self-evident. He only saw a lot of money and food flowing out of his hands every day, but he had no income. !

Yuan Yao frowned, and asked: "What about the grain collected from those big clans? Could it be that everyone is willing to pay the land rent?"

Yuan Yin said bitterly: "Those big families are very thieves, and they only reported their own good land, so they are willing to pay the tax money, but just after the tax money has been collected, they have raised the price of grain, and now it has caused no market for the price. gone."

Profiteer!

Yuan Yao really wanted to kill these profiteers with one knife, this is to challenge his bottom line!Kill people, lose popular support, don't kill people, I'm afraid that Lujiang County will be messed up by these scumbags.

"How much money has been collected now?"

Yuan Yin replied: "Gold is 50000 taels, five baht is 100000 yuan, but every county has a large field bye, and no one claims it."

Lujiang County is indeed not rich, this amount of money is not as good as Yuan Yao's copying of Huang Zu's Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion.

It is better to rely on the sky than on yourself.

Yuan Yao asked: "Uncle, is there a way to purchase some food from other places to relieve the current pressure."

"Boping doesn't know that Jiangdong and Yuzhou have adopted a blockade policy against Lujiang County, and they don't allow grain and goods to be transported from their territory. That's why we have the current situation."

Yuan Yao knew that there must be someone behind this. Now in Lujiang County, those big families are very likely to fall on both sides, but no matter whether they fall to Cao Cao or Sun Ce, they don't look down on Yuan Yao anyway.

"Uncle, go back first, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Only then did Yuan Yin walk out of the prefect's mansion with a sad face. If he is not in charge of the family, he does not know the price of rice and rice, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
