Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 10 What should come will come after all

"Xianhe, how long will our summer grain be enough for this year?" After settling down the 10,000+ yellow scarves collected for a while, Liu Bei quickly called everyone to the government office to discuss matters. The first thing he raised was the most fundamental grain issue.

"It's not very optimistic. I guess it can only last until the beginning of spring. There will be about three months to wait until next year's summer grain harvest." Jian Yong said after deliberation.

"That's it." Everyone in the hall felt their hearts sink when they heard this, and then they all turned to look at Zhao Feng in unison. "Don't look at me, I can't make food." Zhao Fengchun said innocently.In fact, he was not too anxious, because he estimated that Tao Qian would come to Liu Bei for help soon, and when he went to Xuzhou, he would not worry about the problem of eating a few hundred thousand people in this area.

"It's only three months. If you save some food, you should be able to survive." At this time, Liu Bei could only propose that this is not a solution, and everyone in the hall could not think of a better solution. It can be settled for now.

In the next few days, Zhao Feng, together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, reorganized the tens of thousands of yellow scarf troops brought by Guan Hai.According to Zhao Feng's suggestion, soldiers under the age of 18 and those over the age of 45 were removed from the army and replaced by field soldiers specializing in agricultural production.As for those old and young, women and children, they will live in the same way as ordinary people.

"Tuntian? Bo Tao, is this method feasible for you?" This was Liu Bei's question. "My lord, now we have more troops and fewer people. Only in this way can we reduce the pressure on the common people." Zhao Feng explained, but he was secretly proud: "Old Cao, I first borrowed your tricks, and only you will learn from me in the future."

"That's all." Liu Bei couldn't think of a better way.So after some rectification, there were more than 12000 strong men and 5000 field soldiers.In addition to the original 8000 troops in Pingyuan County, Liu Bei suddenly had more than 2 troops.Zhao Feng felt that the fly in the ointment was that there were a little less cavalry, and the total number was less than 3000.Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Feng and Guan Hai, they practice daily.According to the custom, Pingyuan County cannot have so many soldiers.But now that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he is still held hostage by Li Jue and Guo Si, who has the time to take care of Pingyuan County.And Liu Bei's immediate boss, Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, is more like a guest of the discussion, and he only sat in this position because of his attachment to Yuan Shao.The two counties he can actually control are Beihai and Donglai. Except for Pingyuan County, which is relatively peaceful, the rest, such as Taishan County and Leyang County, are full of yellow scarves, which is very peaceful.

Apart from the daily training, Zhao Feng is now eagerly waiting for someone from Xuzhou to come.He was not at all worried that Xuzhou would not come to ask for help because of his butterfly effect.In history, after Xuzhou was attacked by Cao Cao, Tao Qian sent Mi Zhu to Beihai to ask Kong Rong for help.As a result, just after Mi Zhu arrived in Beihai, Kong Rong was also robbed by Guan Hai.Finally, relying on Tai Shici to break out of the siege and report the letter, Liu Bei was found to save Kong Rong first, and then Xuzhou.Now, due to his own increase in grain production, Pingyuan County replaced Beihai County as the leader and was robbed by Guan Hai. As a result, Liu Bei took the opportunity to surrender Guan Hai, so the siege of Beihai was impossible.But as long as Xuzhou is attacked, Mi Zhu will still go to Beihai to rescue soldiers.Kong Rong and Tian Kai definitely didn't dare to rescue them by themselves, and nine out of ten they still had to use Liu Bei as their spearmen.

Therefore, as long as Cao Cao's father is killed, Tao Qian will definitely ask Liu Bei for help in the end.However, it seems that 194 was not destined to be an ordinary year. Before the people from Xuzhou came, there were rumors that Sun Jian's son, 19-year-old Sun Ce, began to pacify the six counties in Jiangdong after borrowing thousands of soldiers from Yuan Shu.In ancient times, news did not spread quickly. By the time Zhao Feng got the news, it was already September, and Sun Ce sent troops to Jiangdong in March, and it is estimated that several cities have been laid down by now.

"It's a pity, Jiangdong!" Zhao Feng sighed while inspecting the school grounds. "What's wrong with Jiangdong?" Guan Hai, who was on the side, was a little puzzled to hear him sigh.After being captured, Guan Hai didn't pay much attention to this young general at first.But later, I heard that Pingyuan County's grain production had increased greatly in the past year, thanks to this Captain Zhao, and I immediately looked at him with admiration.Later, he learned that the reason why he was able to keep this life was also the reason why Captain Zhao suggested to Liu Bei. Now Guan Hai really admired and was grateful to Zhao Feng.

"It's nothing, haha." Zhao Feng quickly changed the topic with a haha, and at this moment another sentinel came riding a Pegasus. "Captain Zhao, Captain Guan, my lord has something urgent to call the two of you to the government office to discuss."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhao Feng couldn't help but look forward to it.

"The villain is not too clear, it seems that someone from Xuzhou has come." The sentinel replied truthfully.

"Xuzhou?" Guan Hai couldn't figure it out for a while, but Zhao Feng couldn't wait: the long-awaited day finally came, and finally someone from Xuzhou came to ask for help.It's just that I don't know if it's Tai Shici who came to report the letter, and if so, should I take this opportunity to lure him into the gang?
"Brother Guan, let's go to the government office first." Zhao Feng couldn't help urging Guan Hai, and the two mounted their horses and rushed all the way to the government office.As soon as I entered the hall, I found that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already arrived, not to mention Liu Bei and Jian Yong, and there was also a literati.Zhao Feng glanced at him and felt that he was not a military general like Tai Shici, he didn't have any murderous aura in his body.At this time Liu Bei introduced that this person is Xuzhou Biejia Mi Zhu.

"It turned out to be him." Zhao Feng suddenly realized in his heart, and after everyone saluted, Mi Zhu revealed his purpose.As Zhao Feng expected, Cao Cao's father borrowed Xuzhou at first, and then Tao Qian's men were ordered to escort them, but they saw that Cai wanted to kill people and steal goods, which provoked Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou in a rage, and Tao Qian couldn't stand it, so he came here Qingzhou asked for help.Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, and Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, were few generals, so they recommended him to come to Liu Bei.The only difference from history is that Tai Shici was not bothered.

"I also hope that you will take pity on the people of Xuzhou and send troops to solve this urgent need." After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he gave another deep salute, and at this time everyone in the hall began to discuss. "Brother, there is no need for us to contribute to Xuzhou." The outspoken Zhang Fei first expressed his point of view, and most of the others agreed with him. Only Zhao Feng bowed his head and remained silent. Seeing this scene, Mi Zhu's expression became much uglier.

"It's not that Bei didn't want to rescue Xuzhou, but it's just that Bei didn't have many troops. What's more, he took in a group of refugees a few months ago, and there wasn't enough food and grass." Liu Bei said slowly at this time.When Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately admired Old Liu: This is a rip-off, and it has made the other party willing, even if it is a first-rate profiteer.Sure enough, when Mi Zhu heard that Liu Bei hadn't said anything to death, he immediately expressed that Xuzhou was rich and willing to provide food and salary.At this time, Zhao Feng looked at him with pity: Now he was only cheated of some money, and soon even his sister would be cheated away.

"In this case, Rong Bei went to borrow three or five thousand soldiers from his classmate Gongsun Zan." Liu Bei also made the final decision, but Mi Zhu didn't suspect Liu Bei's excuses.It should not be too late, so Liu Bei immediately set off to Youzhou to borrow troops. At the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng Guanhai also began to gather troops to rescue Xuzhou.

Liu Bei was very fast, and he brought back 1 cavalry in two days, and a young general in white robes came back with him.Zhao Feng vaguely guessed who he was, sure enough Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and even Jian Yong all greeted him, this person was Chang Shan Zhao Zilong. "General Zilong!" Zhao Feng also bowed his hands and saluted, but he was thinking in his heart: "If my classmates know that I am on the same level as this No. [-] idol in the Three Kingdoms, I don't envy them to death." Zhao Yun is also very polite, Respond quickly.

Saving people is like putting out a fire, so everyone set off for Xuzhou without further delay.Under Zhao Feng's suggestion, only Jian Yong led the 5000 field soldiers and 2000 infantry to stay in Pingyuan County, and the other 18000 soldiers and horses were dispatched to join the army brought by Zhao Yun to rescue Xuzhou.Mi Zhu had already gone back to report the news, Tian Kai and Kong Rong's troops had also been dispatched, but they only dared to cheer from afar.It is too difficult for this scholar to count on Kong Wenju to let Li go, but it is too difficult to count on him to fight, especially when the opponent is a fierce god like Cao Cao.

"What should have come has finally come!" Zhao Feng sighed while galloping on the horse.Look at the silver spear in his hand, the armor on his body, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him.It has been more than two years since I came to this world, this should be my first official battle.Previously, copying Liu Ping's house could only be regarded as a small test, and Guan Hai was singled out by Guan Erye to solve the battle. I personally led the team to fight, but compared with the upcoming battle, these can only be regarded as children's play.

"Cao Cao." Zhao Feng muttered the name of his biggest rival, and he was looking forward to this battle more and more.
