[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

In many cases, what is fought is not the combat power, but the food reserves of both sides. Cao Cao and Sun Jian have not fought such a hearty battle for a long time. Hit the Yufuluo tribe of the Southern Huns near them and beat them honestly.

The supply of grain and grass in Zhongshan was very timely. Cao Cao even thought that the elder brother Yuan, who was heartbroken by his two younger brothers, saw his good letter writing, so he directly took him as his own brother to help, otherwise, why would he be sent to the soldiers again? And the food was returned so quickly?

Yuan Benchu ​​was unreliable, and their childhood friendship was also unreliable. Compared with Ji Yueguangfeng's elder brother, Yuan Benchu ​​was simply a sinister villain. Anyway, Cao Mengde recognized that elder brother.

What's wrong with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu being his own younger brother? He is much more capable than those two, and he hasn't offended the eldest brother yet. As long as he is capable enough, the eldest brother will definitely help him in the future.

Cao Cao had his own little idea, no matter how busy the war was, he would send a letter to Zhongshan every three to five days to report the situation, including but not limited to the whereabouts of the grain and grass, the current situation of Lu Bu, the behavior of the black bandit, and his state of mind.

Although he is not by his elder brother's side, he always thinks about his elder brother in his heart. All the food, grass and elite soldiers are used wisely, and nothing is wasted. Marquis Wen is also very good in Yanzhou. He is brave in fighting and obeys the command. Lu Fengxian, who scared the shit out of the enemy.

At first, Yuan Huan thought that Cao Cao would only write to him when there was not enough food and grass. He didn't expect that another letter would be sent from Yanzhou a few days later, and then it got out of hand and never stopped.

As expected of Boss Cao, who loves to write love poems to counselors, ordinary people really can't stand it.

Speaking of Yu Fuluo who had just been beaten away by Cao Cao, the reason why this unlucky guy stayed in the Central Plains had something to do with Zhongshan County.

A few years ago, Zhang Chun and Xianbei rebelled, and the imperial court was unable to suppress it, so they sent troops to the Xiongnu. Yu Fuluo, the son of the Qiangqu Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu and the right sage king Yu Fuluo, led troops to respond to the call of the Han Dynasty and went to Jizhou and Youzhou to put down Zhang Chun's rebellion.

But not long after he left, a coup took place in the southern Xiongnu, Qiangqu Shanyu was killed, Xubugudu Hou was established as Shanyu, Yu Fuluo went to Luoyang to complain to the emperor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was still Emperor Ling Liu Hong, it stands to reason that Yu Fuluo, as the son of Qiangqu Shanyu, should return to the Xiongnu to inherit the Shanyu position, but Lingdi not only did not let him succeed, he was not even allowed to return to the Xiongnu.

Xubu Guduhou was killed very quickly. The court did not send anyone to take care of it. Instead, he left the position of Shanyu vacant and let the old king of the Southern Huns manage the tribes of the Southern Huns. Yu Fuluo had no choice but to stay in the Central Plains.

The imperial court did not pay them food and did not allow them to return to the hometown of the Xiongnu. In order to prevent the army from starving, he could only plunder the people in Hanoi. Invaded the Central Plains.

Yu Fuluo's previous activities were mainly in Taiyuan and Hanoi. When the Kwantung Alliance was fighting against Dong Zhuo, he once fought against Dong Zhuo with Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang. Not long ago, he hijacked Zhang Yang and betrayed Yuan Shao. He fled to Liyang just after being beaten by Qu Yi. Then they bumped into Cao Cao and Sun Jian again.

Zhang Yang was attached to Yuan Shao in the Kwantung Allied Army, and Cao Cao was also under Yuan Shao's command at the time. Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they had worked together for a long time. Now that they had met, they couldn't do nothing, so they rescued Zhang Yang. down.

It's a pity that Yu Fuluo ran away.

Dongwuyang government office, Cao Cao and others finally had time to hold a celebration banquet.

The black mountain bandit appeared in Yanzhou for more than a month, and caused great harm to the people of Yanzhou. Liu Dai, the Yanzhou shepherd, lost his life in a hasty attack, which made the black mountain bandit no longer arrogant.

Now that the candidate for Yanzhou Mu has not yet come out, Cao Cao, as the prefect of Dongjun, has no intention of waiting until the results of the game between all parties are reached. After finally defeating the Black Bandit, he has to go back to Dongwuyang to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

The soldiers couldn't stand the continuous rotation for two months, and they had to be rewarded no matter what.

Cao Cao counted the food and grass in the army by himself, and felt that he could be a little presumptuous. He didn't expect that they had just returned to the government office, and before they had time to order a celebration, the surrounding people came to express their condolences with food and drinks.

The food is home-cooked food made by the common people, and the drinks are also weak and turbid wine. The government should not take the money and food from the common people, but these common people came here spontaneously, and what was sent to the government office was not money, but wine made from home-cooked food. After putting down the things, they left immediately, and they didn't know where to go.

Lu Bu picked up a wine jug casually, took a sip of the tasteless wine, smacked his lips and muttered, "It doesn't feel bad."

When he was in Chang'an before, regardless of whether he was a commoner or an official, he would run far away when he saw him. The delicacies in the old thief Dong Zhuo's house were not the same, and this kind of bland turbid wine couldn't enter his mouth at all, and he tasted it occasionally It's also good to try something new.

Cao Cao asked people to collect the condolences piled up at the entrance of the government office, and send them to the camp with wine and meat to reward the soldiers, especially those Yanzhou officers and soldiers, and let them see what kind of people Yanzhou people are. Instead of thinking about defending his home and country, he ran away to the end without blushing.

Cao Ren stayed in the official office and did not go out. After receiving the news of the celebration banquet, he ordered people to prepare it. When he saw them coming back, he went to the door to greet them, "Brother, generals, the banquet is ready. We don't have anything good. Just say, Be full."

Xiahou Dun just walked up to him, and when he heard these words, he hit his forehead directly, "Where did you say that, the celebration banquet, even if there are no good things, you have to make up flowers, understand?"

"I don't understand, you know better next time you stay behind." Cao Ren held his head in disbelief, and went to the battlefield to charge one by one, leaving him to help his cousin in the official office, and finally the cousin led the troops out. He was also kept in the official office and was not allowed to go out. The good name was: sit in the back of the town.

It's just because he thinks he's young and is afraid that he will do bad things.

Xia Houyuan followed from behind, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Zixiao did a good job this time, I will definitely take you out next time."

Cao Ren said with a deadpan expression, "I will definitely do it next time." His ears were numb from hearing this sentence, and he was never seen to be really asked to go out.

While several people were talking, the main hall of the government office also arrived.

Cao Cao personally took Lu Bu and Sun Jian to sit on the top, and waited for all his cronies and brothers to sit down before walking to his seat with a smile on his face. After drinking for three rounds, and slightly drunk, he turned to Sun Jian's direction and asked without a trace, " Wu Chenghou Renyi, regardless of the matter at hand, rushes to help Yanzhou, then Yu Fuluo fled to the south, and most likely he will reach Yuan Gonglu, what is Wu Chenghou going to do next?"

"Yuan Shu is brave and unstoppable, and he is not the master of the chaos. Now he has disobeyed the military order, and he doesn't want to go back after this matter." Sun Jian drank the wine in his bottle, thinking that he and Cao Cao had the same relationship that was cheated in the Kanto Alliance. The bloody common experience did not cover up when Yuan Shu was mentioned.

It's Yuan Gonglu who doesn't want to be a human being first, so why should he speak well of him outside.

Cao Cao thought of the ambitions of the Kwantung princes when they first formed an alliance, and then looked at the current situation where people and horses were fighting constantly. He put down his wine bottle and sighed. Sad, sad."

"With such heroes as Brother Meng De, there is still some clarity left in this world." Sun Jian stood up staggeringly, walked up to Cao Cao and filled up the wine, "Come on, Brother Meng De, do it!"

The two of them recalled the past with each other, and next to them, Lu Bu, who was once on the opposite side of the Kanto Alliance, almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

It's not that he looks down on anyone, but in his eyes, none of you here can fight. If he hadn't wanted to teach Hu Zhen a lesson, it would be no wonder that Sun Jian would have won the battle with Lu Fengxian.

There are quite a few generals around the old thief Dong Zhuo, and none of them has a commendable character, but none of them show timidity in playing tricks. As far as the eighteen princes of the Kwantung Alliance gather together to quarrel, give them another ten years and they will all be invincible. Can't hit Luoyang.

Forget it, forget it, if the defeated general makes a slip of the tongue after drinking, he won't expose their illusions.

The "good-natured and kind-hearted" General Lu curled his lips and refused to get involved with the two people next to him to reminisce about the old days. The Black Mountain bandits in Yanzhou had already been defeated.

The few above were drinking a little too much, and the generals below were also whispering in twos and threes.

Xiahou Dun didn't have a few drinks, and listened distractedly to the conversation of the few above, a little worried that they might fight, "Miaocai, do you want to go up and remind that Marquis Wen is still at the table, and they said that the old affairs of the Kanto Alliance are not Not quite right?"

"It's really not appropriate." Xia Houyuan nodded, then winked and replied, "You are bold, you can remind me."

Xiahou Dun: ...

Xiahou Dun thought he was not very courageous, so he turned to the other side, "Zilian, Marquis Wen is still at the table, do you want to go up and remind them, let them say something else?"

Cao Hong had just heard the conversation between the two of them, and didn't want to take the matter to himself, so he turned to Cao Ren like a relay, "Zixiao..."

"Don't try to trick me, the Cao Zixiao of today is not the Cao Zixiao of the past, you can't trick me." Cao Ren raised his chin and glanced at them, picked up his chopsticks and began to bury his head in eating. The belly is the most important thing.

Xiahoudun asked a group of people, but no one dared to go up to disturb the two of them and scolded the allies of the Kwantung Alliance. Seeing that Lu Bu didn't have any unhappy expression on his face, and he was even interested in hearing it, he ignored it.

They are all on their own, at most they get drunk and go out to fight, and after the fight they are still good brothers.

There was nothing to eat and drink here, but Sun Jian's cronies were still discussing. What they were discussing was not whether what the two above said was appropriate, but where they should go next.

Jizhou is under Yuan Shao's command. They have too many soldiers and horses, so it's not easy to deceive people. They will be found when they enter Jizhou, which is Yuan Shao's territory. They will definitely not be able to counter-kill Yuan Shao.

"Yuan Shu must not go back. The general didn't go to attack Liu Biao. He must be angry and angry. Now he can't make a move. When he can do it, our general will be the next one to attack." Huang Gai sighed. The general felt that it was a good move. One step is enough, there is no other way, they can only come down and help him worry about it.

Zu Mao wasn't as worried as he was. He felt much more comfortable in Yanzhou these days than he was around Yuan Shu. He didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back when fighting, he didn't have to worry about running out of food, and he didn't have to worry about being targeted for being too showy. , Can it be compared to Lu Fengxian?

Even if they can't go to Zhongshan, they can stay in Yanzhou.

Cheng Pu filled them with wine, "Just after winning the battle, don't worry about what's there or what's not. You don't know what kind of temperament our general is. Don't look at what he said, he must have something in his heart."

Han Dang raised his head slightly, "Demou, you said the same thing before the general defected to Yuan Shu last time."

Cheng Pu turned his head, tore a chicken leg from the table and stuffed it into the man's mouth, "Eat yours, don't talk."

Han Dang bit the chicken slowly and shrugged, saying that he would not interfere with their whispers, so he should eat well.

Sun Jian didn't know what his brothers were talking about, so he dragged Cao Cao and scolded the guys in the Kanto Alliance who only said nothing. So he turned around with the wine bottle, "Marquis Wen's bravery is unparalleled in the world. When I saw Marquis Wen outside Yangcheng that day, I felt that Marquis Wen was very capable. When I saw him now, it really is the posture of subduing a tiger and subduing a dragon."

When Lu Bu heard someone praise him, he immediately became energetic, and he would say a few more words if he could speak. He liked to hear these words, "Wu Chenghou is brave and good at fighting, and he is also worthy of the name of Jiangdong tiger."

This person said just now that he has the posture of subduing a tiger and subduing a dragon, that is to say, he thinks that he is no match for him. Since he is so self-aware, then he should not be so reserved, so let's follow suit.

Sun Jian was so drunk that he didn't notice that there was a trap in the words. The two of you, you and I, soon began to hook shoulders together and call each other brothers, "Wen Hou, forgive me for being rude, the former prefect sent me a letter a few days ago. , Let us help Yanzhou resist the Heishan bandits, now that the Heishan bandits have retreated, and Yuan Shu can't go back, we martial arts practitioners don't have so many twists and turns, brother, let me ask, is there still a shortage of people in the former prefect?"

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, and the alcohol was gone in an instant. When he looked at Sun Jian again, he was not as friendly as before, but a little more picky, "My lord, my lord has high eyesight. gone."

Sun Jian shook his head, high vision is not a problem, he, Sun Wentai, a fierce general, can count people who are stronger than him in the world, no matter how high vision the former prefect has, he will meet the conditions.

They are both from a poor family, and they will definitely not have so much intrigue when getting along, and they will not be looked down upon by those aristocratic families overtly or secretly. If they take him under their command, it will not be a problem to kill Yuan Shao and occupy Jizhou.

Cao Cao nodded straightly with sparkling eyes. The elder brother is Yuan Benchu's older brother, and his seniority is orderly. If you ask him, the elder brother can be the shepherd of Jizhou by himself.

Lu Bu was happier hearing them praise his lord than he was being praised. He couldn't hide his emotions on his face, and there were only slits in his smiling eyes. That's right, that's it, their lord is just that good.

The wine and meat at the celebration banquet was not good, but it couldn't keep the big guys happy. Except for the soldiers who stood guard, everyone was drunk.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao packed his bags, followed by Xiahoudun and Cao Hong, leaving Xiahouyuan and Cao Ren to watch the house at the official office. He wanted to go to Zhongshan to thank the Yuan family brother himself. As long as the eldest brother had no objection, he would respect him as his own brother.

Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao resentfully, leaving him to look after the house every time. When will he be able to be alone?

Cao Cao, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun pretended not to see his eyes, and arranged with Xiahouyuan for anything they had to say. After a while, Sun Jian also brought Cheng Pu and Zu Mao to meet them.

A few people dressed lightly and rode lightly, and followed Lu Bu's army to leave Dongjun and head north.

Zhongshan, Anguo Yuan Mansion.

Midsummer came quietly, at noon on a scorching day, the fire was burning, and at noon, there were no people in the fields outside Zhuangzi, and all the tenants went home to rest in the shade.

In the main courtyard, Yuan Huan looked at the servant who came forward to report the letter, thinking that he had heard wrong just now and asked, "You just said that Fengxian brought Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai back together?"

"Exactly, General Fengxian has already arrived at Zhuangzi, and he will bring them to see the Patriarch soon." The servant replied.

"Two Mr. Xun, please come to the guest room." Yuan Huan handed the little guy who refused to leave in his arms to the nanny, stroked his chest to calm down, then stood up and called Tao Ji, "The clothes are too clean, Do you have any other robes for meeting guests?"

Cao Cao and Sun Jian came to visit together, and quickly changed their clothes to show respect.
