Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 415 Never blame Yuan Benchu

Xiliang, where Li Jue and Guo Si lived.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is over, the grain harvest in Xiliang is not very good.

After all, there are not many places suitable for farming in Liangzhou. In addition, there is little rain and grain seeds are not good, so the harvest will naturally not be good.

The most important thing is that the most fertile land in Liangzhou is in the hands of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

If Li Jue and Guo Si didn't want to starve to death, they had no choice but to bow to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"Brother Li, we don't have any rations for the winter." Guo Bang looked at the memorial sent by his subordinates and knew that the rations in his hands could no longer last this winter.

"Otherwise, let's borrow food from Ma Teng and Han Sui. Losing some face is better than starving to death!"

When Li Jue heard these words, he frowned and said nothing.

When Guo Bang saw that Li Jue was silent, he stepped forward and pushed him: "Brother Li, why are you in a daze? I'm talking to you."

Li Jue sighed when he heard this and said, "I heard it, but what can I do?"

"What's going on? We have to spend the winter. You don't know how cold the winter in Liangzhou is. If we don't borrow food from Han Sui and Ma Teng, I'm afraid the brothers who are following us will all be killed. Starve to death and freeze to death.”

Guo Bang said impatiently.

Li Jue sighed and reminded: "Have you forgotten that Cao Zixiu said that after the autumn harvest, he will fight us! Not to mention spending the winter, you and I, brothers, can If you can’t see winter coming, that’s two things.”

After hearing this, Guo Si sat down again with a look of decadence on his face.

If Cao Ang really comes, can Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang, plus the two of them, really be able to stop Cao Jun's iron horse?

Li Jue and Guo Si had been frightened by Cao Ang for a long time, so they did not dare to fight Cao's army and only wanted to surrender.

But at this moment, the two of them couldn't help themselves. They couldn't even hand over Liu Xie and surrender.

After all, Xiliang is the territory of Han Sui and Ma Teng. As long as the two of them show that kind of surrender, Ma Teng and Han Sui will kill them even if they fight to the death.

It is precisely because of this that Xiliang was able to maintain a brief peaceful situation before Cao Jun launched a large-scale attack.

Li Jue and Guo Si, two people who wanted to surrender but couldn't.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, two people who wanted to kill Li Jue and Guo Si, but did not dare to do it.

Zhang Liao, leading Cao's army, was eyeing Xiliang on the border of Sizhou.

As long as the Xiliang army makes any move, this tiger general will attack without hesitation and kill the Xiliang army without leaving any trace behind.

But if there is no civil strife in the Xiliang army, Zhang Liao will have no chance to take action.

The three pillars are still stable.

……

Yizhou, Liu Zhang's place.

Liu Yan has died of illness, but it has not been officially announced yet.

After all, Liu Zhang was consolidating his power in Yizhou at this time. As long as his power was unstable, he would not mourn Liu Yan!

Only a few people trusted by Liu Zhang in Yizhou knew that Liu Yan was dead.

But they only knew that Liu Yan died of illness. For this prince who often pretended to be ill, the real cause of his death was probably only known to his own son.

Although Liu Zhang is said to be weak and incompetent, it depends on who he is compared to.

If compared with Cao Ang, he is naturally weak and incompetent. After all, he didn't even dare to raise his head in front of Cao Ang.Now, he still has a psychological shadow on Cao Ang.

It's just that he is far away from Yizhou, far away from Emperor Cao Angshan Gao, so as time goes by, he slowly forgets the dark cloud hanging over his heart and begins to show off his skills.

For those wealthy families in Yizhou who disobeyed him, he killed some people, warned some people, and then supported some people.

Those who were killed were all the controllers of wealthy families. They disobeyed Liu Zhang, so they had to die.

And those who were warned were the followers of those who were slain.

What Liu Zhang wanted was the support of those wealthy families, but he did not want to destroy those wealthy families.

As for the people being supported, they were originally marginal figures among the wealthy families.

They were supported by Liu Zhang and became the controllers of aristocratic families. Naturally, they were grateful to Liu Zhang and obeyed his words.

In this way, Liu Zhang, with the help of Fazheng and others, completely took control of Yizhou.

……

Jizhou, Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shu's defeat, he withdrew his troops from Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

But even after he retreated, he was still worried that the Cao family would settle the score with him later.

"I said at the time that I would not go to war with Cao Cao, but you all persuaded me to do it one by one!" Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, blaming the blame with an irritated face.

"This is a good time. Not only has the territory not been expanded, but General Gao Lan has also been defeated. Now, Yuan Shu is defeated. Once Cao Jun sends his army north, how can we resist it?"

Jushou stood up after hearing the words: "My lord, I am also responsible for this matter. I originally thought that with the strength of Cao's army, it was absolutely impossible to fight on two fronts."

"In fact, this is indeed the case. Facing our brave and skilled soldiers, Cao Jun can only defend passively!"

"I just didn't expect that Sun Jian would betray him and stab Yuan Shu in the back, which would lead to his defeat so quickly. It was unexpected!"

Jushu said these words to make Yuan Shao stop blaming himself.

But what he didn't know was that Yuan Shao never blamed himself, but only blamed others.

Just now, Yuan Shao was complaining in his heart that the counselors were incompetent and the generals were weak, otherwise he would not have lost.

And he just didn't reflect on himself. If he had sent troops when Ju Shou first persuaded him to go south and caught the Cao family by surprise, his territory might have expanded a lot by now.

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about the past anymore. Now let's think about how to resist Cao Jun."

"Based on what I know about the Cao family and his son, let's attack them first this time. If they don't come back with revenge, then they are not Cao Ah Man and Cao Zixiu."

Everyone was a little helpless when they heard this.

Originally, they all thought that the Cao family had almost completely ruined their family fortune in order to rebuild Luoyang, but they did not expect that the other party's family was so wealthy.

It can actually support so many armies and conduct multi-front operations.

Ju Shou was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, I think we should unite with Gongsun Zan to fight against Cao's army together!"

Others thought about it and found that this was indeed the only way to stop Cao Jun.

At this critical moment of life and death, no one could dissent from Jushou.
