My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 241 239. Inside and Outside of Xuchang (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

In mid-April, the Battle of Cangting began and ended... also very quickly.

Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses left in Cangtingjin were completely unprepared for Cao Cao's sudden attack. Yuan Shao was so angry that he wanted to send the remaining main force to continue fighting Cao Cao.

It's easy to say, but was held back by Jushou.

"My lord, now we are in a weak position, and we need to temporarily avoid its edge."

Yuan Shao had a cold face, and his teeth were about to be crushed. He had fought openly and secretly with Cao Cao many times, but he, Yuan Shao, came from the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three fathers, but Cao Cao... After the eunuch, how could he stand shoulder to shoulder with him!
Thinking of the battle of Guandu last year again... the more I thought about it, the more angry I was, and I spurted out a mouthful of blood... I fell unconscious.

Everyone was shocked.

An hour later, Yuan Shao faintly woke up after the treatment, his complexion was gloomy.

"My lord, there is news from Jingzhou." Ju Shou knew Yuan Shao's current heart disease, so he took a potion of heart medicine, "Liu Bei has led the army to the north, and Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to assist him."

In Yuan Shao's eyes, the spirit was better, he nodded, looked at the people under the couch, "Thank you, gentlemen."

So he waved his hand to let everyone retreat, lay down on the couch, stared blankly for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

Under the city of Xuchang.

Liu Bei looked at the people who kept gathering around him, his eyes were full of tenderness, and Xu Shu's calculations and strategies were perfect, which made him highly respected.

When they went north this time, Cao Jun didn't resist at all, allowing them to easily take back Ye County, Kunyang and other places until they came to Xuchang City.

The traces of last year's battle have been washed away by Cao Jun, as if that battle had never happened.

Only the occasional dark red on the city wall tells everything silently.

Wearing silver armor, Zhao Yun walked up to Liu Bei, "My lord, I have gathered more than ten thousand people..."

"Send people back first." Liu Bei nodded, "This time, we will still besiege Xuchang. If the people are willing to go to Jingzhou, Bei is willing to escort them all the way."

Zhao Yun responded heavily.

Beside, Cai Mao felt that this strategy...was really a bit of a drudgery. In this era...with the common people, only people can farm.

"What Xuande said, Mao, I admire it."

Liu Bei smiled gently, "Degui is polite."

In the nearly half a month of getting along, Liu Bei and Cai Mao can already call each other equals.

"That's not being polite." Cai Mao shook his head, if it were Liu Biao, he would definitely not be able to do what Liu Bei did.

He knew his brother's character all too well.

Benevolence, yes.

Self-interest, even worse.

"Okay, Degui don't say that anymore." Liu Bei stopped Cai Mao's words and looked into the distance, "Xuchang is heavily guarded this time, and our troops are not as strong as last year's, but we also need to tell the emperor, Jing Sheng Brother and preparation, we are still working hard."

Cai Mao nodded, yes, they came here for the second time, they should let the emperor know, let the aristocratic families in Xuchang know, let the common people understand that this world... belongs to the Han Dynasty, not Cao Cao.

"But you want to send people into the city?"

Liu Bei nodded, "Bei wants to ask Gongyou to see the Son of Heaven."

Cai Mao thought about it and didn't object.

Sun Qian, he knew, was a disciple of Zheng Xuan, who was recommended by Zheng Xuan to become an official. He had been a lobbyist for Liu Bei several times, and he was very talented in theory.

"It's very dangerous to go this way."

"Hey..." Liu Bei also sighed.

……

Inside Xuchang City.

Xun Yu listened to the report of his subordinates, and his eyes did not fluctuate. The people outside the city wanted to leave, and they couldn't stop them. Although there would be some losses, the losses were actually not big. These aristocratic families in the city have no possibility of leaving the city now. .

"Mr. Xun, General Zuo is acting upright this time." Jia Xu smiled while holding a teacup.

He sent people to Xiangyang to spread Liu Bei's reputation before, which indeed aroused Liu Biao's dissatisfaction with Liu Bei. Once the seeds are planted, they will always take root.

Liu Biao is old, and Liu Bei is younger than Liu Biao.

The forces of both sides are not inferior to others.

Contradictions will always erupt.

Xun Yu nodded, "I'll wait until the city is closed, and there's nothing he can do about it. When Duke Ming returns to the army, he will definitely retreat."

But even so, Xun Yu still sighed inwardly.

From last year to now, the people under their rule have lost more than [-] households and tens of thousands of people, and now Liu Bei still uses this trick... which makes him tireless.

"The wheat in Jingzhou has already been harvested, and I heard that ... the planting of rice has begun." Jia Xu continued.

Xun Yu frowned. The food problem has always been the biggest shortcoming on Cao Cao's side. If the method of two crops in a year is really implemented... I don't know how many people will live.

"A detailed report is available."

"There are a few letters, but they are not very detailed." Jia Xu is now in charge of many intelligence matters on Cao Cao's side. "It is said that at the beginning of April, Sumai in Xiangyang began to harvest."

"Early April?" Xun Yu thought for a while, and they had collected all the wheat in the past two days. "It's a few days earlier than Xuchang."

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded, "then the other party cleared up the fields and changed the dry fields into paddy fields to grow rice."

Xun Yu frowned again, "Jingzhou, towards Wuling County, is a remote place, and the climate seems to be much warmer than Xuchang."

"Xu also speculates whether it is because of the climate that Jingzhou can achieve two crops a year. Even if they harvest wheat, it is a few days earlier than Xuchang's."

"Let's forget about this matter for now," Xun Yu waved his hand and handed over a list, "We need Wenhe to go to these few companies."

Liu Bei's soldiers approached the city, the people inside the city were terrified, the people outside the city cheered, and the families of various aristocratic families also made frequent movements in private.

Jingzhou's current strength makes all the families in the city very optimistic.

In less than half a year, soldiers came to Xuchang twice to welcome back the emperor... Then who knows if there will be a third or fourth time.

As long as Jingzhou always has the intention to do so, these aristocratic families in the city will not be peaceful.

After this time, I'm afraid I'm going to do something ruthless.

"Okay." Jia Xu took the list, and naturally understood what Xun Yu meant, and then walked out.

Xun Yu looked at Jia Xu's back, sighed inwardly, looked at the news about Jingzhou on the table again, he had to re-evaluate Jingzhou, otherwise, he would always underestimate Jingzhou and suffer a big loss.

Not long after, a servant came to report.

"General Zuo is engaged in Sun Qian, please see the Son of Heaven."

Xun Yu laughed, "He's alone?"

"Yes, he is alone."

"Is there a playlist?"

"I don't know."

Xun Yu waved his hand, "Let's just say that the Son of Heaven is ill, let him wait."

The two armies are fighting, and they don't kill the envoys. Moreover...Sun Qian is Zheng Xuan's disciple, and has relationships with many descendants of the aristocratic families in the city. Liu Bei's move is very good.

It is a pity that the emperor is in their control after all.

All of a sudden, Xun Yu opened his eyes wide, how could he have... the idea that the Son of Heaven is under their control!
Son of Heaven...

In their control...

Among them!

Xun Yu quickly suppressed this idea, only Ming Gong can bring peace to the world!

That's right!

His choice was naturally correct!
