I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 241, the ruthless Yuan Shao
Xu Wei was not excited when he heard Wang Ge's words. Now the entire Central Plains is already fighting everywhere. If he attacks Youzhou again, then Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou in the north will also be involved in the flames of war, that is to say The states and counties that produce the most grain in the entire Han Dynasty have all stepped into the flames of war.

Now because of the previous food, everyone can continue to fight, but after the autumn harvest, everyone will find that the entire Han Dynasty has been fighting for a year, and there is no one farming at all, and tens of millions of people will starve to death next year.

In history, the second year of Chuping was also the climax of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Army. After this wave of Yellow Turban Army died, all the princes in the world had no food, and tens of millions of people in the Central Plains starved to death. It can be said that this wave of wars in history , Let the people of the entire Central Plains almost die. Without the support of the people, the Yellow Turban Army was completely reduced to the role of soy sauce, and the world will officially enter the world of vassal hegemony.

So Xu Wei was worried that his attack on Youzhou would completely mess up the big man. He didn't care whether the nobles died or not, but if tens of millions of ordinary people died tragically, he would do a lot of evil!
Seeing Xu Wei's ugly face, Zhang Baiqi asked, "Shuai Qu doesn't want to attack Youzhou?"

Wang Ge and others immediately looked at Xu Wei!

Xu Wei said: "Now the whole Central Plains is at war. If we are attacking Youzhou, Huangfusong of Jizhou will definitely rescue Liu Yu. The whole of Hebei will become full of wars because of our military operations. I am just worried that the battle will continue like this. All the people in the world will die tragically in the flames of war!"

"The Central Plains is already in chaos. If Hebei is also in chaos, who will grow food? How can everyone survive without food? We rebelled to survive, and we also want to survive for the people of the world. But what we are doing now can only Let the people of the big man starve to death!"

Wang Ge said anxiously: "Shuai Qu, you can't be kind to a woman. Even if we didn't send troops, the world is different and the war is raging. Now Dong Zhuo has obviously overwhelmed the Kwantung clan. It's better if we don't strike first, and wait for Dong Zhuo to fight." Integrating the power of the big man and destroying Yu Du and the others, it will be our turn to be surrounded by Dong Zhuo! If we are all wiped out by Dong Zhuo, there will be no hope for the world!"

"Shuai Qu, what Wang Ge said is correct, now is the best time for me to send troops!" Wang Yong also said anxiously.

At this time, Zhang Baiqi said: "I don't think so. It's already June, and the 30 army has a lot of logistics supplies, not to mention that we are going to fight in Youzhou thousands of miles away. If we want to conquer Liaodong County all the way, The logistics of these places in Xuantu County are more than thousands of miles. To maintain the logistics of this army, more than a million civilians are needed. You can do the math. It takes 2-3 months to prepare so many food and grass materials. Is it over?"

Wang Ge and the others shook their heads. The 10-strong battles fought by the Tengjia Army were almost all internal battles, and they didn't last long.Naturally, there are not many logistics civilians needed, but now we have dispatched 30 troops, millions of civilians, and expeditions of thousands of miles. The requirements for logistics are indeed very high. If tens of millions of grains are not prepared, there may be food shortages on the way to the war. And so much food is needed, it’s really not good to prepare without 2-3 months!
Zhang Baiqi continued: "The autumn harvest will be in three months, and the ration of the whole Mayi depends on the autumn harvest. Do you want to start a war during the autumn harvest?"

Wang Ge and the others continued to shake their heads, of course they didn't want to!

Zhang Baiqi said: "And after the autumn harvest is over, the north has already entered winter, so you don't want to fight in winter, do you?"

Wang Ge and the others continued to shake their heads!

Although the Tengjia Army has a special sled army, they are dealing with the barbarians without the protection of the city walls. Youzhou has hundreds of city passes, and attacking Youzhou in winter is simply courting death!

Zhang Baiqi said with a smile: "So we really want to launch an army of 30 to attack Youzhou. The best time to attack is after the spring of next year. Why are you so anxious?"

"We can first send an army of 2 to 3 to attack Hanoi County to support some of them. At the same time, we can now prepare for a big battle in Mayi. The battle with an army of 30 is something our Tengjia Army has never experienced. That way of attack, that way of defense, how the big man will react, we all need to plan carefully, we don’t know how many troubles there are in it, give everyone more time to prepare, and then the battle will be more adequate!"

When Wang Ge and the others heard this, they thought about it, and it was indeed not the right time to rush to fight Youzhou now, so he took the staff from the staff to collect Youzhou, and made a complete battle plan!

In June, Yanzhou East County!
Yuan Shao marched to Fan County in Dongjun with an army of 5, and met Bai Rao's subordinates!
Yuan Shao was already full of anger, and this time he vented all his anger on Bai Rao's subordinates. He personally went to battle and led 1 armored troops to attack Bai Rao's subordinates. Bai Rao's 5 subordinates were defeated by Yuan Shao!

Bai Rao knew that Yuan Shao attacked him and was furious. Yuan Shao's performance in attacking Dong Zhuo has spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Now Yuan Benchu, the model of the world, has become a coward.

Naturally, Bai Rao didn't care much about Yuan Shao, who was known as a coward. He led 15 men to fight fiercely with Yuan Shao's men. The two sides fought for 10 days. All were annihilated by Yuan Shao, and more than 15 people were captured!
This battle finally improved Yuan Shao's reputation a bit, and everyone no longer used to describe Yuan Shao as a coward!
"At the beginning, what should we do with the [-] Yellow Turban prisoners?" Xu You asked.

Guo Tu laughed and said, "Leave it to Huangfu Yizhen to cultivate. He is not in the four counties of Jizhou, and he keeps saying that there is a lack of labor!"

Feng Ji smiled and said: "Yes! We should use these captives to exchange food and grass for Huangfusong!"

This victory finally boosted their confidence. It turned out that it wasn't that they couldn't fight, but that Dong Zhuo was too strong an opponent. If we could accumulate more experience in dealing with Dong Zhuo, maybe Dong Zhuo would have been defeated by them long ago!
But Yuan Shao said with a cold face: "This group of yellow turban thieves can't stay. They have the blood of our gentry in their hands, and they want to pay with blood. These yellow turban thieves were all chopped off by the Yellow River, and their heads were made into Jingguan. Let these A rebel knows that Shi Lin cannot be bullied!"

Most of Yuan Shao's surroundings were the second generation of noble families, so it was impossible for them to sympathize with the Yellow Turban Army. They heard Yuan Shao's words, but they felt a sense of hatred and hatred against the enemy.

"At the beginning, it is true. These rioters dare to publicly judge me and other nobles. They are simply lawless. If you don't kill them, you will not be able to gain power. Only by killing all these daring rioters, other ant thieves will know that even if you starve to death, you can't attack. Our Wubao!" Xun Kan agreed.

Ju Shou couldn't bear it and said: "Most of these people are just coerced, and the crime is not worthy of death. We throw them to Huangfusong and let them dig stone mines, which can be regarded as paying for their sins. After all, there are more than 7 people. Killing indiscriminately is really hurting the peace of heaven!"

But Yuan Shao firmly said: "The benevolence of women, the world is in chaos as it is now, and the people have disobeyed the laws and rules of the great man. Now we can calmly deal with all kinds of chaos only by eliminating the rebellious people first. Let the world return to its original state, if we don't kill them now, the people of the world will be bewitched by them even more, and we will kill even more!"

So under Yuan Shao's order, 7 Yellow Turban soldiers were slaughtered by the Yellow River. The corpses of 7 people covered the entire south bank of the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River was stained red with blood.Then Yuan Shao used the heads of these 7 people to create 7 giant Jingguan to deter the Yellow Turban Army in the entire Central Plains.

Yuan Shao's behavior caused a sensation in the whole Han Dynasty, and the evaluation of Yuan Shao by the elites of the Han Dynasty increased sharply, thinking that he is worthy of being a model for the world, and the scholars set an example. Now there is a lack of activists like him among the scholars, so that the Yellow Turban Bandit has become a great success. look.

Yuan Shu became even more anxious when he heard about Yuan Shao's actions. Afterwards, he wiped out the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou everywhere.

At the same time, he carried out the action of killing all mistakes in Yuzhou. As long as the people related to the Yellow Turban Army were all slaughtered by him, the people in the base areas near the Yellow Turban Army were slaughtered by Yuan Shu and the others. Let’s talk about what the Jizhou nobles and elites did at the beginning, and now, with the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they have begun to expand to the entire Han Dynasty!

But the generals of the Yellow Turban Army, such as Yu Du, were furious when they knew about this incident. Yu Du led his 30 elites to attack Dongjun, wanting to avenge the subordinates of the Yellow Turban Army. Yuan Shao's old lair was wiped out by Yuan Shao, and he also led his troops to gradually withdraw from Xuzhou, intending to unite with Yu Du to teach Yuan Shao a lesson!

After Dong Zhuo learned about the behavior of the Yuan brothers, he sneered and said: "Sure enough, they are scholars. They are cruel on the outside and cruel on the inside. As long as you are stronger than them, they will surround you like a villain. But if He is stronger than you, so he will immediately change his face and kill you, He Jinzhang let them just not see the face of the scholar, so he paid the life of the whole family!"

Jia Xu persuaded: "Prime Minister, don't underestimate Yuan Shao's move. He was almost abandoned by the Kanto clan, but because of this move, he instantly restored the hearts of the Kanto gentry. The Kanto clan doesn't care about the lives of grassroots people. Is there anyone to protect their interests, and Yuan Shao's move is to protect the interests of the entire Central Plains aristocrats."

"If the Prime Minister hadn't restricted him, Yuan Shao would definitely be revived. The Yellow Turban Bandits would not be wiped out by then, but the Kwantung Alliance would have revived. The Kwantung clan would not want the Prime Minister to stand on top of them. You have to be careful, Prime Minister! "

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said, "You mean you want to take away Yuan Shao's military power?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The crusade against the Yellow Turbans still needs the help of Yuan Shao and the Kanto Clan, it's not the time to seize Yuan Shao's military power, but the Prime Minister can put the people of the Kansai Clan into the Central Plains counties while suppressing the rebellion. "

"Central China was originally the territory of the Kanto Clan. Yang Biao's disciples will definitely be squeezed out by the Kanto Clan. If Yang Biao wants to stabilize his current position, and even replace Yuan Kai, he must rely on the help of the Prime Minister. Now the Prime Minister wants What we are doing is to unite with the Kansai clan to suppress the Kanto clan, and the two factions are fighting fiercely, so the Prime Minister can stabilize the court!"

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "This matter is simple, isn't it what Zhenxiang did when he entered Luoyang City, it's just that the one who should be promoted now is the Guanxi Clan. Abandon them, how can there be a shortage of people who want to be officials in this big man's world!"

At this moment, a personal guard ran in and said, "Minister of the State, Lei Gong from Bingzhou dispatched an army of 3 to attack Hanoi County, and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi County, asked for help!"

Dong Zhuo was surprised: "What, Lei Gong sent troops to Hanoi County!"

This is not good news for him!He valued Lei Gong 10 times more than Yuan Shao and the others. If Lei Gong really came to beat him, he might not be able to resist with all his strength!

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "It should be that Lei Gong has noticed that the prime minister and Yuan Kui have reconciled, so he sent troops to attack Hanoi County. For Lei Gong, a divided man is what he wants to see."

"That's why he supported the Prime Minister to fight the Kwantung Allied Forces, and now the Prime Minister has defeated the Kwantung Allied Forces, and even wants to unite the entire Han Dynasty. This is something Lei Gong can't stand, so he attacked Hanoi County. He wanted to To attack the strength and prestige of the Prime Minister, so that the Prime Minister cannot continue to hold the power of the Han, and let the Kwantung princes continue to rebel, what Lei Gong hopes is that the Han will continue to split!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but angrily said: "Lei Gong, who is a rebel, wants to bully the truth, and wants to split the big man. It's just wishful thinking. Let's go to Hanoi County to meet Lei Gong. Let Lei Gong know the truth. The prime minister is no longer the prefect of Taiyuan County, but the prime minister of the great man!"

Jia Xu immediately said to Dong Zhuo: "The prime minister calms down his anger. If you are so angry and raise an army, you are going to ruin a big event. If you are defeated by Lei Gong, the good situation that the prime minister has created will be ruined. The prime minister has the prestige he has now." They all rely on the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army in their hands, if the army in the hands of the Prime Minister is defeated by Lei Gong, not only Yuan Kai will repent, but even Yang Biao may betray the Prime Minister!"

Jia Xu said the consequences of the defeat were so terrible, and Dong Zhuo also knew it was true. If he didn't have this army in his hands, he would have died long ago without a place to bury him.For Dong Zhuo, nothing is more important than preserving the strength of his army.

So he took two deep breaths and asked: "Now that Lei Gong is attacking Hanoi County, what should we do? It is impossible for Yuan Shao to turn around and return to Hanoi County, right?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "You are the Prime Minister of the Great Han, and the entire army of the Great Han is under your command. Why do you have to go out in person to deal with Lei Gong? Isn't Huangfu Song the famous general left by the late Emperor to deal with Lei Gong? He has 20 troops in his hands. As long as he is allowed to attack the Tengjia Army in Jizhou, Lei Gong will definitely have scruples, and Youzhou Mu Liuyu also has 8 troops in his hands, let Liu Yu mobilize the army at the border of Bingzhou, Lei Gong must be on guard!"
