My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

In the second year of Kaiyuan, autumn and July.

Yumen Pass, where the border between Chu and Han is located, is the Protectorate of the Western Regions built in the past when it exits the pass, where there are 36 countries in the Western Regions.

For example, the idiom Yelang is arrogant comes from Yelang, one of the 36 countries.

Wang Huanzhi of the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem, why should the Qiang flute blame the willows?

After passing this checkpoint, there is Liangzhou, which is also a place of bitter cold in the frontier, with few people, and the people's life is miserable.

It can only be said that the country of Chu still has a long way to go, and there are countless places that need help, and they all need a little help.

At this moment, the general's residence in the city.

Xu Shu was at the top. He served as the border guard, responsible for guarding Chu Feng's countless territories, and also responsible for handling local government affairs.

Xu Shu is similar to Zhuge Liang, capable of writing and martial arts. It can only be said to be a weakened version of Zhuge Liang, but he is definitely a talent of the world.

At this moment, he is handling government affairs at the first place, and all the government affairs from various places have been submitted, mainly the upcoming autumn harvest and some Qiang people in the surrounding area.

Chu Feng had communicated with him before, and asked the Qiang people if it was easy to settle, and if not, they could transfer the horse over.

Xu Shu mainly considered that Ma Chao was ambitious and had a high prestige among the Qiang and Di people, so he wanted to stay in Hefei for safety, so he almost didn't agree.

"General, the autumn harvest is expected to be fast everywhere!" A scribe said solemnly in the hall.

"Well, how about the land cultivated by the army?" Xu Shu nodded, closed the paper silently, and asked curiously.

Their frontier troops, in addition to guarding the frontier normally, also need to cultivate and farm. After all, the grain production in the frontier is too low, and the food transport is too slow.

Moreover, Xiliang's food production is not high. It can only be said that the army can make up for it by plowing the fields themselves.

"We mainly adopt the rotation farming system to ensure that about [-] people can cultivate land. One person has cultivated one hundred small acres, which is about one million acres."

The civil servant answered Xu Shu's words, probably thinking about this year's harvest in his mind.

"A million small acres is not bad. Have you calculated how much grain you can harvest and how long you can eat it?" Xu Shu opened the next document and asked in a deep voice while looking it up.

"Returning to the general, if one mu of land in the Central Plains can probably have a grain of grain, but Xiliang is located in bitter cold, and this year's weather is dry and the land is dry, it may affect the harvest. It is estimated that one mu of land can harvest seven or eight buckets of grain."

"One million fields is 80 million dendrobium?" Xu Shu raised his head and asked.

"That's right, but the old cows that have been deducted from the cultivated land, as well as the seeds for next year, there are about 50 dendrobium a year!"

The civil servant immediately snapped his fingers and thought silently.

"50 is not bad. This is the first year, and it should be better later on!" Xu Shu nodded, which was regarded as his approval.

"Fifty people receive grain per day, and we have 50 soldiers and horses. We need more than 20 shi a year, which is a little surplus."

"However, if you count things like raising war horses and helping the common people, the surplus probably won't be too much." The civil servant calculated the accounts carefully again.

Xu Shu nodded in approval.

It eats more than 20 yuan a year, and there are more than 20 yuan left. Not bad, at least it can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to allocate food from the court.

You must know that last year's food was transferred from various places. After all, the world was in peace last year, and the people in Guanzhong already had deep grievances because of Cao Cao's excessive expropriation.
And because of Chu Feng's pardon policy, Xiliang didn't have to pay taxes for two years. In addition, Xiliang was bitterly cold and couldn't afford food.
In the end, Chu Feng still used the waterway to transport the grain in the past, which was thousands of miles away. If it wasn't for the waterway, this batch of grain would not have reached the front line.

But this year, except for eating and drinking for myself, I can have some leftovers. At that time, I can find someone to exchange some of the mutton from Xiqiang and the others, and lead the army to eat meat.

Xiqiang is very happy to exchange food with them. They eat mutton every day. The key point is that mutton grows slowly, which leads to their small population.

"Pass down the order, and pay attention to the autumn harvest. You must reap all the receivables, and don't throw away!" Xu Shu waved his hands and made arrangements in a deep voice.

"Well, the subordinate will tell you!" The civil servant said in a deep voice immediately.

"Report~, General Qi, there is an urgent report from outside the border. King Guishuang is leading an army straight to our Yumen Pass. It seems that the visitors are not good!"

A guard rushed over immediately, and he conveyed it!

"Oh, King Guishuang actually dared to mobilize troops? He has been struggling for half a year and has never dared to mobilize troops. How dare he now?"

Xu Shu slowly closed the document, not only did not have much worry, but was a little curious. He had also sent someone to investigate before.

The reason why King Guishuang did not send troops was mainly because the domestic people did not support him to send troops. It is quite strange to send troops suddenly!

"I don't know!" The guard replied, how could he know this!
"Since they're here, don't let them go. How many people are here?" Xu Shu put the documents on the table and asked in a deep voice.

"Return to the general, according to investigations, there are a total of 25 troops, of which Guishuang has 20 troops, and there are mixed infantry and cavalry, each with 10 troops."

"As for the other 5 people, they belong to countries in the Western Regions. It is estimated that King Guishuang promised some benefits, or they were coerced and lured!"

The guards are not so sure, but the Western Regions are in the hands of King Guishuang, and the original 36 countries in the Western Regions are naturally under his jurisdiction!

"Hehe, the 25 army is very good, very good! I guess it's almost halfway here? If these people can be killed here, the Guishuang Kingdom will collapse without a fight. At that time, according to the master's request, you can Go straight to Guishuang."

"Haha, the territory of Guishuang can be divided into at least four or five states. Then, wouldn't I, Xu Shu, be famous in history?"

Xu Shu laughed heartily. That was a joy. He was worried that he would not have the chance to fight Guishuang. After all, Chu Feng wanted to stabilize the country in a short time and did not want to start a war with Guishuang at this time. But Chu Feng also said that as long as Guishuang dared to pretend Forced, directly beat to death.

Zhengchou had no place to fight, he was jealous of Gan Ning, Zhang He and others could make meritorious deeds everywhere, but he didn't expect that King Guishuang was so sensible, knowing that he couldn't control his temper, so he came to help him relieve his boredom.

"Very good, very good!"

"How long will it take them to get here?" Xu Shu asked with expectant eyes.

The imperial guards pursed their lips as they watched. It stands to reason that foreign enemies are coming, so shouldn't they be nervous? Let's see our boss is happy instead!

Hey, it is estimated that these Guishuang troops will also have to be cut down. After all, he knows that there is an artillery battalion in Yumen Pass. Although this thing has never been used, but I have heard of it.

"It will probably take another five days!" The guard pursed his lips and replied.

"Okay, let them hurry up. In this way, let the wind out, and say that the soldiers and horses in the pass have gone out to collect food. At the moment, the pass is empty and it is very easy to fight. I can't wait for them to hurry up!"

Xu Shu smiled brightly, and even took the initiative to make suggestions, explain these things, and plan when to come to the other party.

"No!" The guard sighed, good guy, my general is crazy.

Looking at the imperial guards, Xu Shu grinned and couldn't help smiling, and said in a deep thought: "Well, immediately notify the cavalry battalion and prepare for battle in the next two days!"

"In addition, inform the infantry to plant mines on the left and right flanks outside the pass to control the direction of the enemy's retreat."

"Let the cavalry battalion not go out of the customs at sunrise, and wait outside the city. I will arrange three robes to accompany them. When the enemy army is defeated, I will kill it in one fell swoop. Be sure to kill King Guishuang, and kill the dozens of Guishuang soldiers." Wan Dajun."

"The hometown of Guishuang, I have already taken a fancy to it!" Xu Shu said viciously, squinting his eyes, full of excitement.

"No!" The general next to him also agreed.

Five thousand cavalry went out, landmines were deployed, the whole army was on alert, and the artillery battalion was ready to be mobilized at any time. A series of instructions were carried out in an orderly manner.

Of course, not only the cavalry, but also the infantry were preparing under Xu Shu's request. At the same time, he had to prepare food and grass for the attack. He was not just preparing to kill these people, he wanted to expand the territory.

On the one hand, it can recover the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and on the other hand, it can try to invade Guishuang's mainland, approaching the imperial palace, and then take down the entire Guishuang.

This is Xu Shu's dream at the moment.

"Come here, and send an order to the lord, saying that Guishuang's soldiers and horses have been dispatched, and the soldiers are approaching the city. There are 25 people. I will request to go to war."

"Let the lord prepare soldiers and horses to meet me at any time, and send civil servants to take over the whole territory of Guishuang."

Xu Shu immediately paved the way for the subsequent development, and he felt that this aggressiveness must be rewarding.

It's just that he only has 3 people after all, and if he leaves 1 people to guard the gate, he can mobilize 2 people. At most, 2 people can take the country of Guishuang, and it is impossible to rule the whole territory.

So he needs to rush to help, at least to transfer the corps stationed in Chang'an.

"Promise!" The civil servant responded immediately, wrote a letter, and arranged for someone to pass it on.

"In addition, borrow some horses from the surrounding Qiang soldiers. Since you want to chase them, you must be fast, and the speed of the horses is barely enough."

Xu Shu thought for a while, and immediately confessed again.

"General, Qiang Di and those idiots don't dare to provoke us, but they are not convinced by us. If they borrow horses, they probably don't want to give them to us!"

The civil servant hesitated, and said helplessly.

"Don't want to give it? Hmph, then be tougher, each tribe must give it, not discuss it with them, if you don't give it, all tribes will be wiped out!"

Xu Shu's tone was solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for the lord's scruples, he would have wanted to clean up the entire Northwest.

Of course, the current strategic focus of the lord is to pacify the east, which is also understandable, and if these Qiang Di dare to pretend to be aggressive, he doesn't mind cleaning them up later.

As the saying goes, how can a tiger be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

It's okay if these Qiangdi cooperate honestly, if they don't cooperate, it is estimated that after Guishuang is wiped out, these people will turn around.

Xu Shu doesn't like chirping.

"Okay!" The civil servant nodded, this is directly forced to recruit, so you can escape this catastrophe, and if you don't turn around, you will be wiped out.

It can only be said that it is very ruthless.

The method is extremely cruel, and the big fish eat the small fish.

"Okay, let's all go get ready. Next, cheer me up and prepare to kill that small country of Guishuang!" Xu Shu said in a deep voice, waving his hands to let the generals go down to prepare.

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

----

The next day, at noon.

On a road overgrown with weeds, more than 20 troops are winding forward, with flags covering the sky and the sun, and the end can't be seen at a glance.

However, this team didn't look so neat and energetic, which may be caused by the scorching sun in early autumn. Many people drooped their heads with a dry expression.

Along the way, the neighing sound of war horses sounded from time to time, and some war horses neighed and pooped at the same time.
No, it caused a lot of complaints from people in the back row. It’s not good to follow the horses. From time to time, you have to step on the shit and pee. .

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty urgently reports." The man carried a flag on his back, representing the sense of urgency, and rushed to the position of the central army.

"Say, what's the matter!" King Guishuang was also so hot by the autumn tiger that he rolled his eyes with a helpless expression.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the city's Xizuo that the Chu army will go out of the city to harvest autumn grain in the next two days, and it may take a long time to return. Xizuo said that your majesty can speed up the march and dare to kill the enemy when they are in short supply. "

"At that time, we will get twice the result with half the effort, and even catch the Chu army by surprise!" the Kuaiqi said in a deep voice.

"Oh, the Chu army is going to grab the autumn grain?" King Guishuang was stunned for a moment, with a bit of joy on his face.

Next to it, many generals who followed shouted together: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is simply God's help, and this battle will definitely be won!"

"Han Sui, what do you think?" King Guishuang was proud for a while, but after thinking about it, he still looked at Han Sui and asked.

Anyway, this Han Sui is also from Xiliang, and he knows Xiliang well, so you must be right to ask him.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the autumn harvest will be in a few days!" Han Sui looked at the sky, he still knew this,
"only"

"Just what?" King Guishuang was happy at first, and even felt that the battle was stable in his heart, but seeing Han Sui's expression, he hurriedly asked again.

"It's just that the Chu army's secret operations are all over the world. It is impossible for the Chu army's secret operations to not know about His Majesty's dispatch of so many soldiers and horses from various countries in the Western Regions."

"And that Xu Shu is good at scheming, I suspect that Xu Shu already knows that we are going to send troops to Yumen Pass, and has set up a scheme!"

Han Sui pinched his chin and said strangely.

"Have you set up a plan? What kind of plan is there? Could it be that you want to wait for us to open the book and arrive, and the whole army will come out exhausted?" King Guishuang was curious, and he didn't think there was any plan for this.

"This is exactly what surprised me, because just the news spread, it seems that our army can only march quickly, and there is no other plan,"

"The last general can't figure it out for the time being, but if the land is dry and the heat is unbearable today, it's better not to speed up the march."

Han Sui didn't want to understand why.

Listening to Han Sui's analysis, King Guishuang couldn't help but nodded: "You're right, it's better to be careful. In this way, order the whole army to be more vigilant."
