Three Kingdoms: Refused to lend Zhao Yun at the beginning!

Especially after the establishment of the three provinces, everyone in the world has seen Gongsun Jing's ambitions, and this time the mobilization of troops to the Southern Huns is even underway! It was the prelude to the decisive battle.

Ren Cheng.

Kangfu territory.

In the camp of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao pinched the notice sent from Daye Mansion.

The Marquis of Ye's mansion changed its face and completely wiped out the influence of the Han royal family in the four states.

Daye Mansion's march still sent a message to the world, as if it were an independent force, announcing to the world that they were going to attack foreign enemies.

This kind of action is more like telling Cao Cao that as long as the Southern Huns are wiped out, the army will be sent to Yanzhou.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Gongsun Changping is going to attack the Southern Huns after all. If he really wins this battle, I doubt that the war between us will not exceed three years. At that time, we will really have the strength to fight against him." ?"

"Have it?"

Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun and at the generals under his command.

Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, Li Dian and others all bowed their heads and remained silent.

The name Gongsun Changping is too legendary. It has only been four or five years since the battle of Longcou, and he has become the overlord of the four states in the Central Plains. Although the ten battalions under his command are not world-famous generals, no one dares to underestimate him.

Even Guan Hai and Zhang Yan, the old generals of the Yellow Turban, have also completed their transformation in Daye Mansion.

"Ah!"

Cao Cao threw the list in one place, and said with a sneer: "Gongsun Changping thought that he could threaten Yuan Benchu ​​by threatening me by holding several of my heirs. He misunderstood me, Cao Mengde, and immediately sent troops to the East China Sea to win the battle as soon as possible. Xuzhou!"

"Here!"

All the generals should drink.

Cao Cao said indifferently: "How is the contact with Liu Bei?"

Xi Zhicai frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bei agreed, but when to send troops depends on the timing when he can send troops. At least he won't make a move when we are fighting in the early stage!"

"I expected it!"

Cao Cao nodded.

a few days later.

Cao Junbing approached the East China Sea and began to attack major cities, and sent troops to Langye, Pengcheng and other counties.

Nearly a month.

Cao Cao took Langye County.

Although some food and grass were plundered, it was simply drinking poison to quench thirst, which was not enough to support him to continue his expedition.

And the spring planting in Yanzhou has also started. Countless people have no food for spring planting, and the people can't survive. They can only sell the good land to the powerful and powerful, so as to obtain a short chance of survival.

For this reason, Xun was helpless.

There is no food in Yanzhou, even if he has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, he can't produce food out of thin air.

In mid-April, Cao Cao's army was blocked in the East China Sea. Because of Zang Ba and Chen Deng's troops in Pengcheng, it took a long time to attack.

In front of Lanling City.

Cao Cao looked at the city tower.

Xuzhou's army is on standby, and its demeanor is in full swing.

In Cao Ying, because of the problem of food and grass, people have begun to panic and their fighting spirit has been frustrated.

"Lord!"

Chen Qun stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The food and grass in the army can't last for a month. If Wen Ruo sent a message in Xuchang, the gentry in Yanzhou wantonly annexed the people's good land. Because the people have no food to eat, they can only tend to become the gentry. It’s not just about spring planting, I’m afraid this year’s grain tax will drop by several percent!”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "How much food and grass does Xuchang have?"

"Gone!"

Chen Qun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Xuchang has to support the army to fight, and it also needs to support 10,000+ people and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty. The food and grass have all been exhausted. If we don't withdraw the army, after the army's food and grass are completely exhausted, Lu Bu will definitely send troops. Moreover, Pengcheng has not been captured for a long time, and Zhang Liao is sitting in Lanling again, our soldiers have already begun to complain, fearing that there will be a change in the camp!"

"No choice?"

Cao Cao's eyes were full of decadence.

I thought that two months would be enough to win Xuzhou.

However, who would have thought that a Lanling City would actually block the army's progress.

"Have!"

Chen Qun said with a complex expression: "Release the ban on business and let merchants from the four states do business in Yanzhou. At that time, we can buy a large amount of grain, grass, cattle and sheep from the four states. This battle can also continue. If it continues, let's not talk about it." Take Xuzhou, even Yanzhou can't hold it!"

"He won again!"

Cao Cao said with a ferocious gaze: "Repeal the prohibition order, but strictly investigate the merchants from the four states!"

"Here!"

Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid of Cao Cao because of Xu Chang.

Even though Yanzhou is full of starvation and the army is incapable of fighting in all directions, they are unwilling to let go of the ban.

"Shame!"

Cao Cao looked hideous and terrifying.

Gongsun Jing and Xu Chang's party discredited him and the Han royal family.

It has only been a few months since he issued the ban on business, but now the order has been changed day by day and lifted.

Letter to Xuchang.

However, within a few days, the ban on business in Yanzhou was lifted.

Merchants from the four states did not rush into Yanzhou immediately, but were waiting for news from Jizhou.

In Daye Mansion.

Zhang Xiu came in a hurry, bowed and said, "My lord, the ban on business in Yanzhou has been lifted, but our merchants from the four states will be strictly interrogated by the Yanzhou government when doing business!"

"Unlocked?"

Gongsun Jing was slightly surprised.

Guo Jia took out the information on the Battle of Xuzhou from the table, and said in a deep voice: "The Battle of Xuzhou has reached a stalemate, Liu Bei did not move troops, Cao Cao's troops were blocked in Lanling and Pengcheng, it seems that his food and grass cannot hold up Already!"

"Yanzhou has undergone major changes!"

Jia Xu said indifferently: "Because there are a large number of people without food, they can only sell their fertile land to the gentry. According to intelligence statistics, even if Cao Cao withdraws his troops now, his food tax revenue will be reduced by more than [-]% this year!"

"The goal has been achieved!"

"Jiang'er, you immediately pass the Embroidery Guards and command the caravans to enter the counties of Yanzhou!"

"The food price doesn't need to be too low, it only needs to be [-]% lower than the local food price in Yanzhou. As long as they lower it, we will continue to lower it!"

"Until a certain price is reached, another caravan will be organized to purchase Yanzhou's grain and grass. Even if it is [-]% higher than ours, we must buy back Yanzhou's grain!" Gongsun Jing said solemnly.

"it is good!"

Zhen Jiang nodded.

Gongsun Jing looked at Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Chen and the others, and said in a deep voice, "You have worked hard these past few months. As soon as the caravan enters Yanzhou, you can go home and rest. finished!"

"Lord!"

Guo Jia couldn't help asking: "Next year when the army will attack Yanzhou, we will spend so much manpower and material resources this time, will we be able to see miraculous results in a year?"

"Enough!"

Gongsun Jing's eyes were full of confidence.

For more than a year, it was only paving the way for a battle.

As long as he and Cao Cao fight, they are absolutely sure to cut off all the food and grass, and advance the soldiers to the south of the Yellow River.

Under the Yanzhou government order.

Merchants from the four states began to pour into Yanzhou.

The food prices controlled by the tyrants were instantly destroyed.

Xun immediately purchased a large amount of grain and grass from merchants from the four states, and began to transport it to the Xuzhou battlefield.

Foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn have ushered in the craziest era.

It washed away all the crops in Yanzhou like a river pouring down, and occupied a market that was even more terrifying than before the ban. Potatoes with extremely low prices, sweet potatoes, cattle and sheep were favored by everyone.

Almost all the people in Yanzhou are buying grain from the four states.

Xuchang!

Sikong Mansion.

Xun looked at the secret sales reports of merchants from the four states in Yanzhou, and said with great fear: "It's too scary, almost to the point of madness, and it is definitely an existence with endless troubles. We can't rely too much on the food and grass of the four states!"

Cao Ang frowned and said, "Mr. Wen Ruo, now we can only rely on merchants from the four states to finish this war!"

"Not bad!"

Xun frowned.

Before the business ban, merchants from the four states were not so crazy.

But since the lifting of the ban on business, the whole Yanzhou has been flooded with merchants from the four states, and this feeling makes him very uncomfortable.

Although he didn't understand exactly what went wrong, as long as he came from the four states, whether it was cattle, sheep or food, he always felt that Gongsun Changping and Daye Mansion were behind it.

Twenty days later.

The grain of Cao Jun in Lanling City has been exhausted.

Just when Zhang Liao thought that Cao Cao was going to retreat, a huge contingent of food and grass came from Yanzhou.

The morale of Cao's army recovered, and the force of the siege changed qualitatively. In just two days, the Lanling defenders suffered heavy casualties.

The battle in Pengcheng Kingdom also entered a period of intense heat.

Xiapi City.

In the prefect's mansion.

Liu Bei's civil and military forces gathered together.

Jian Yong looked at the secret report from Cao Jun and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Cao Cao has lifted Yanzhou's ban on trading. Merchants from the four prefectures are selling grain in Yanzhou. The crisis in Yanzhou has been lifted. Lu Bu will definitely lose this battle! "

"Ok!"

Liu Bei nodded.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Brother, it's time for us to raise our troops. This time we must take Xuzhou and kill Lu Bu, a family slave with three surnames!"

"What Yide said is good!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with murderous intent.

Liu Bei shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Merchants from the four prefectures are selling grain, cattle and sheep wantonly. This is almost funding the enemy. Are they already so rich? What exactly is Gongsun Changping doing?"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??????????????

"Lord!"

Mi Zhu frowned and said: "Most of these merchants are controlled by big merchants from Zhongshan. There are only a few merchants from Bingzhou and Youzhou. Gongsun Changping has only controlled the four states for so many years. How could he be so rich? to such an extent, unless their new grain yield per mu has reached a terrifying level!"

Liu Bei asked, "What is the significance of his doing this?"

"do not know!"

Mi Zhu shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the most humble existence of a big man, and the Mi family has withdrawn from the ranks of merchants. I haven't paid attention to this aspect for a long time. Anyway, I think there must be a great cause behind this scene." Cao Mengde should be aware that the government is controlling, but he has no choice but to let merchants from the four states enter Yanzhou for business!"

"Let's send troops!"

Liu Bei focused his gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yuanlong has already sent news from Pengcheng that he will assist us and Cao Cao to take down Pengcheng. When the army is sent to Tancheng, Lu Bu will only be defeated!"

Zhang Fei said unwillingly, "Brother, do we really want to obey Cao Cao's orders?"
