Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189 Calculation
The Xuzhou army entered the city, and the people of Shouchun were surprised to find that the ant swarms that had been raging in the city for a long time began to retreat one after another, burrowed into the ground and disappeared, and would never come out to grab food again. up.

Although surprised, the people in the city still looked numbly at the Xuzhou army slowly entering the city. No matter who is the Lord of Shouchun, they have no hope for tomorrow.

"Quick, here!" Just as the common people watched the Xuzhou army enter the city numbly, they saw a large number of Xuzhou army soldiers pushing grain carts in, and Xuzhou officials mixed in with them, and quickly occupied the original Huainan Yinya Office. In fact, it is the Yamen Office of Jiujiang Taishou, and then the bulletins that have been prepared are posted in the most prominent positions everywhere.

Under the astonished eyes of the people in Shouchun, grain carts were pushed in, and someone read the list aloud:
Hearing that Shouchun has been hit by disasters recently, Lu Bu, the Xuzhou herdsman, was grateful for the difficulty of life for the people. He specially ordered to open a warehouse to release grain and mobilize Xuzhou grain and grass to help the victims. All Shouchun people can receive ten catties of rice grain per person based on their household registration!

Those without household registration can go to the government office to make a register and register, and they can also receive rice grains!
The content of the list is not complicated, the writing is too complicated, and the people can’t understand it. Just say what you will give, for the people of Shouchun today, any policy that benefits the people is fake, no matter how good the policy is. , and it is not as real as the current life-saving food.

For a while, the originally numb people in Shouchun seemed to come back to life all of a sudden, and rushed to the places where the grain was distributed to receive rice grains.

"Line up for me. Whoever dares to cause trouble will be killed immediately!" Among the crowd, there are Xuzhou Army officers and soldiers maintaining order, so it is naturally impossible to be gentle. No matter how good you are, maybe you will come up and grab it directly.

After beheading a few hungry people who were making trouble, and some people began to receive rice grains, the mood stabilized.

Those who are interested can also see at this time that the Xuzhou army obviously already knew what happened in the city, or that the ant swarm incident was planned by the Xuzhou army. Otherwise, when the Xuzhou army came in, they would do disaster relief and check household registration. Prepare.

Moreover, after the Xuzhou army came in, the ant swarm disappeared quickly. Under the secret propaganda of the Xuzhou army, this is naturally a failure of Yuan Shu's morality. Ordinary people don't know much about divine power, and the Xuzhou army is indeed dealing with their food supply. Naturally, he quickly began to support Lu Bu.

But in the eyes of many scholars, this move was not clever and full of flaws. After all, when the Xuzhou army entered the city, it was giving relief, and it was carried out in an orderly manner. This is really not normal. Under normal circumstances, who would bring so much food with the army?Enough food for lieutenant soldiers is enough, too much food and grass will only slow down the marching speed.

But no matter what, the common people will not think about these things. Lu Bu's goal of winning people's hearts and popularity has been achieved at this moment. Those who can understand can't say it now, and they are looking for death. Lu Bu may directly deal with them. The common people I won't say goodbye to them, and more importantly...they have to eat too.

Although I understand it in my heart, but now in Shouchun City, even those high-ranking families have no surplus food. At this time, it would be a bit unreasonable to eat other people's food and talk about other people's faults.

Shouchun, the palace.

Chu Nan looked at the 20 people Yuan Shu had prepared speechlessly. Except for Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao and three daughters, the others were Yuan Shu's wives and concubines.

"General, are you sure it's these people?" Chen Gong also looked at Yuan Shu speechlessly.

Yuan Shu looked at their eyes and nodded depressedly: "Mr. Lao Lao."

"Don't worry, general. After General Ji Ling helps me sort out the various armies, he will immediately go to Hong County to join the general. We must arrive before tonight. My lord has sent letters to the county officials to be in charge of the general's daily life. In addition, the messenger to Qingzhou has already left, and the general will send someone to pick him up when he arrives in Langya." Chu Nan looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile.

"Thank you." By now, Lu Bu's troops had already entered the city, and even if Yuan Shu wanted to repent, he didn't have the ability.

At that moment, Chen Gong sent Yuan Shu, his wife, children, and Yang Hong to Hong County with words.

Chu Nan looked at Ji Ling and said, "General Ji, I hope that the general will help you in the next matter. The 200,000 troops will retain the best of them. We have already discussed that only 200,000 of the [-] troops will be kept at most, and the rest will be sent back." Origin, engaged in farming."

Most of Yuan Shu's 200,000 troops are new troops, and they don't have much combat power. If they keep them, they will only have momentum and no actual combat power. Instead of wasting food, it's better to go home and farm, which can also increase agricultural output.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to finish these things before sunset." Ji Ling was a little confused, not to mention half a day, so many things might not be able to be dealt with in three days.

"You don't need to finish everything, just tell the generals to follow our command. At sunset, I will send the general to Hong County, but don't forget, the general. From now on, the general is my father-in-law's general." Chu Nan looked at Ji Ling and said seriously.

"Don't worry, sir, since the lord is willing to let the old lord live, from today onwards, Ji Ling will be the lord's general, and I wish the lord will be ashamed!" After finishing speaking, Ji Ling bowed to Lu Bu.

"Okay, haha, General Ji is willing to join our army, and I will definitely treat him badly!" Lu Brown laughed loudly. Ji Ling was the only general under Yuan Shu's command that he liked.

The next thing was much simpler. Ji Ling first summoned all the generals in the city to come to see Lu Bu. If he was willing to join him, he would join him. If he didn't, Lu Bu would not keep anyone here.

Although there are many generals under Yuan Shu's command, there are really not many who are worthy of use. Otherwise, 100,000 people would not be defeated by Lu Bu in a few strokes. This is not only a problem of the limited ability of the commander, Ji Ling, but the generals under his command are overwhelmed. Useful, even Song Xian and Cheng Lian are not as good, how to fight?
Therefore, Chu Nan didn't feel sorry for the departure of these generals.

It's just that when we got to the outer city, something went wrong. The army guarding the Huai River rebelled a lot. When Gao Shun arrived, these people wanted to take the opportunity to take Gao Shun, but they were killed by Gao Shun four times. back.

"My lord, someone has already sent the news to the other side!" Ji Ling came back and looked at Lu Bu with an ugly expression.

Now that Yuan Shu had given up and was going north, these courtiers naturally had to find another way out, but Lv Bu's reputation was too bad, especially because Xuzhou's New Deal had offended the entire gentry group, and Yuan Shu's employment was not based on ability, but on background. Except for these people who followed in the early years, almost all of them were victims of Lu Bu's New Deal. How could they be willing to vote for Lu Bu? As early as when Chu Nan left the city, they had already secretly united to keep Lu Bu out and welcome Cao Cao to cross the Huai River.

It's just that they didn't expect Lu Bu to move so fast. Chu Nan came back not long after he went out, and Ji Ling, the former general of the Zhong family, helped open the way, so Shouchun was quickly controlled by Lu Bu.

"Cao Cao?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he looked at Chen Gong and Chu Nan: "How is it?"

"Order General Gao to retreat quickly and let Cao's army cross the river!" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said in a deep voice.

Let Cao Cao cross the river, and then...

Chu Nan looked at his teacher, he was still a cultured person!

Once Cao Cao crosses the river, the Huai River is behind him, and Shouchun, who has been captured by Lu Bu, is in front. Tsk tsk~
Lv Bu nodded and smiled, "Okay, pass on my military order, order Gao Shun to withdraw immediately, don't go into the city, just wait for Cao's army to cross the river, and cooperate with the main force of our army to attack Cao Cao!"

"Here!" His own guard went to pass the order.

"Ziyan, take your troops and horses and take charge of the defense of the northern city immediately. Don't be attacked by Cao Cao!" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan.

"Accept orders!" Chu Nan nodded, and immediately took Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to the North City Gate to prepare for the matter.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong continued to settle Shouchun soldiers and civilians in the city.

On the other hand, after Cao Cao got the news that Yuan Shu was going to open the city to welcome Lu Bu into the city, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

"If Lv Bu gets Shouchun, the Jianghuai land will belong to Lv Bu." Cheng Yu said with a frown.

No one accused Lu Bu of accepting Yuan Shu's surrender. Once Shouchun is acquired now, Lv Bu will be the master of the Jianghuai River, plus Xuzhou, Lv Bu already has the capital to compete with Cao Cao, Shouchun must not be obtained by Lv Bu.

"Pass my military order, the three armies will cross the river immediately!" Cao Cao got up and said in a deep voice, "Notify those people, let them persuade the soldiers guarding the Huai River as soon as possible to open the way, and I will attack Shouchun immediately."

"Here!"

All the generals agreed and prepared to cross the river one after another.

But before Cao Cao's army was ready, Gao Shun had already brought his men and horses to kill the Jianghuai army guarding the Huai River, and they fled or surrendered one after another.

When Cao Cao assembled on the north bank to cross the river, Gao Shun had already prepared his defenses.

"Bastard!" Cao Cao was a little annoyed, and Lu Bu's reaction became faster and faster.

"My lord, there's news from the south bank that Lu Bu has entered the city." Cheng Yu hurried to Cao Cao's side and sighed.

Cao Cao looked deeply at the Xuzhou army on the other side. He didn't speak, and he didn't want to speak. This battle allowed Lu Bu to win the land of Jianghuai. Coupled with Lu Bu's control over Xuzhou, it will be more difficult for him to win Lu Bu than a year ago. More than a few times.

"My lord, there may not be no chance to cross the river at this time!" Le Jin said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao shook his head and was about to say something when he saw Xu Chu pointing to the other side and said, "Look, my lord, the defenders have retreated!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked up and saw the Xuzhou army on the opposite bank retreating from the river bank defense line in an orderly manner, as if preparing to abandon the defense.

Seeing this, Xu Chu excitedly said, "Master, I can cross the river now."

"Crossing the river at this time, I will seek my own death!" Seeing this, Cao Cao was not so optimistic. He instantly understood the other party's intentions, shook his head and said, "Send an envoy to congratulate Lu Bu, and let Lu Bu hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo by the way!"

Since you can't fight, let's talk about it later, you can't fight here, Xuzhou can still fight, it's a pity that Lu Bu, a reckless man, has become powerful!This made Cao Cao very upset!
