Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 361 Yanhou ([-])

two years later
Autumn of the 14th year of Xingping (207)
Now is the time when the spring sown corn in Central Plains has just been harvested and the second sown corn is being planted.

In the past two years, Wang Jue always picked the time when Cao Cao's ruling area had just finished harvesting grain and was planting the second season of grain to go south to plunder.

In this way, Cao Cao can take away the grain that Cao Cao has worked so hard to grow, and has just been stored in the warehouse and has not had time to transport it away. It can also prevent Cao Cao’s people from farming, destroying their normal agricultural production, and fundamentally solve Cao Cao’s problem. So that it does not have enough food to support soldiers.

Yanzhou and Xuzhou are very suitable for cavalry rampage because they are flat and flat, so they are the hardest hit areas for looting. The farthest time is this time. Wang Jue has now looted to Nanyang County. The granary directly distributed the land of the gentry to the local people. Now it is preparing to meet Liu Bei who attacked Wancheng, and sold the grain that he had just robbed and could not be transported to Liu Bei directly on the spot.

Every time the looting is over, rewards will be given for meritorious service, and the Tiger and Leopard Knights will be given more fiefdoms and more people.

Not only looting, but wherever Wang Jue went, he also "struck local tyrants and divided the land" by the way, distributing the land of the local gentry to the local people, and then continued to do things in the next place after the distribution.

When Cao Cao's army arrives, they will face very difficult choices.

The land of the local gentry has been distributed to the local people. If Cao Cao re-gives the land to the gentry, the people will rebel.

In this way, the conflict between Cao Cao's ruling group and the gentry and ordinary people was provoked.

Adding internal conflicts to Cao Cao made him fall into endless internal strife just like Yuan Shao.

Namyang County

Wancheng
"Liu Bei has met the general." Liu Bei stood respectfully in front of Wang Jue, very humble.

But Wang Jue sat on the collapsed bed, and didn't bother to greet Liu Bei. He had seen too many little people like Liu Bei in these years. Many people begged him to surrender humbly. Even the relatives of the emperor and the Han family with purer bloodlines, Wang Jue has killed prisoners before. If it wasn't because Liu Bei had a good relationship with his uncle Wang Kuan, he didn't plan to come forward in person, but asked Zhang Liao to come forward to negotiate. [Food Trading] and [City Trading].

Not to mention Liu Bei, even Liu Bei's ancestor Zhongshan King Jing would tremble with fear when he saw Wang Jue.

Kill God!That is, the second god of killing after Bai Qi!
Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu had been pecking at each other for seven years, and no one could do anything to them. Zhang Xiu couldn't conquer Xinye, and Liu Bei couldn't conquer Wancheng either.

Until the grain harvest season this year, Wang Jue plundered all the way to Nanyang County. Zhang Xiu was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled. Wang Jue captured Wancheng, the capital of Nanyang, without a single soldier.

But Wancheng was too far away from Wang Jue's base camp. Although he "attacked" by chance, he knew that he could not defend here, and he would be easily blocked by Cao Cao's army and unable to return in Nanyang County.

He has only [-] soldiers in total, and they are here specially for looting, and they have to go back after looting. They can't stay in one place for too long, or they will be easily surrounded by Cao Cao's army.

Therefore, he wanted to sell the Wancheng that had just been captured to Liu Bei, and he had to settle the bill in gold, because the copper coins were too heavy to carry so far away, and it was easy for Cao Cao to catch up.

Beside Liu Bei, stood a red-faced fierce man in green robe, a leopard-headed macho man with ring eyes, a young general in white with sword eyebrows and starry sky, a slightly feminine Confucian scholar, and a majestic and handsome young man.

The green-robed red-faced man is Guan Yu, the leopard-headed and eye-catching man is Zhang Fei, the sword-browed Xingyu young general is Zhao Yun, the soft and quiet Confucian scholar is Xu Shu, the stalwart and handsome young man is Zhuge Liang.

"Wancheng plus these grains, the total is only [-] gold for you." Wang Jue himself did not speak, his status was too noble to negotiate the price in person, so Lu Lingqi said this to Liu Bei.

In fact, these grains alone are worth [-] gold. If it weren't for the fact that Nanyang is too far away and it is difficult to safely transport the grain back to Dongjun, Wang Jue would never sell it.

Now these grains originally worth [-] gold, plus a rich Wancheng, are only Liu Bei's [-] gold, which is simply the price of cabbage.

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu beside Wang Jue, and he frowned, feeling very upset, after all, Lu Bu stabbed him in the back before.

But Liu Bei didn't want to offend Wang Jue either. If Wang Jue really got interested and wanted to "take a stroll" in his new field, it was absolutely impossible for him, Liu Bei, to resist.

Wang Jue caressed the furry paws of an adult mammoth (Siberian tiger), which he brought here from Liaodong. It was his pet, and he fought with him.

When other people lick cats, he also licks cats, but this cat is a little bit bigger.

The children of the Wang family, regardless of gender, like to keep big cats (Siberian tigers) as pets, which has become a custom.

What is good at the top is effective at the bottom, so the wealthy people in the royal family's ruled area also like to keep big cats (Siberian tigers) as pets.

The new counselor Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei to indicate that he could agree to such a condition.

At first, Xu Shu recommended him to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei didn't know Zhuge Liang at that time, so he just sent a small soldier to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain.

Later, Zhuge Liang wrote a policy theory on governing the country, which was handed over to Liu Bei by Xu Shu. After reading it, Liu Bei was shocked, and said that he almost missed a super-class adviser, so he was willing to invite Zhuge Liang himself, and invited him out of the mountain three times. Come, give Zhuge Liang enough face.

Liu Bei thought for a while, and then agreed: "Thank you, General, Liu Bei is willing to buy these grains and Wancheng with [-] gold."

"An honest person, God will bless him, and a clever person, I will personally punish him instead of God!" Wang Jue's voice was very low, as if an ancient god was whispering, giving him a kingly air.

"Happy cooperation!" Lu Lingqi translated Wang Jue's words to Liu Bei and others, and a Chinese-Chinese translation came.

After the transaction, Liu Bei left the county.

"Brother, Lu Bu is right next to him, why don't you let me chop him off?" Zhang Fei was furious and dissatisfied.

"Wang Heyu criss-crossed the Central Plains with four thousand cavalry, attacked 36 cities, and destroyed [-] enemies. The food captured could fill the city. Everyone says that Jue's soldiers are not enough to ten thousand, and they are invincible. We must not provoke this killer. God." Liu Bei shook his head and said, if Cao Cao only scares him, then Wang Jue scares him.

A few days later, Wang Jue took a large amount of gold, transported the gold in a carriage, and left Wancheng.

When Cao Cao brought an army of [-] to Wancheng to encircle and suppress Wang Jue, Wang Jue had already been wandering in the Xuzhou area, and only the arrows of Liu Bei's soldiers were waiting for Cao Cao.

While Wang Jue tried his best to weaken Cao Cao's strength and prevent Cao Cao from recuperating, Yuan Shao finally had an army of [-] after three years of recuperating.

He felt that he could do it again, so he decided to launch the third southern expedition.

But this time, he changed his target. Instead of smashing Guandu, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, he used Dongjun as a springboard to attack Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places in the southeast.
