Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 545

"Ok!"

Liu Wei, who was watching the battle from a distance, nodded, and said in his heart: "Don't be arrogant in victory, and don't be discouraged in defeat. Rewards must be done, and punishments must be believed! This is the character that a general should have!"

Seeing that Liu An had finished rewarding the Chief of the Huben Guard, Liu Wei walked over and said to Liu An at first: "Okay, you have done a good job. You are not arrogant or impetuous as a general, and you can't win!" You have already achieved this, but to be handsome, you should plan strategies, coordinate the overall situation, and aim at the world."

After speaking to Liu An, Liu Wei looked at the chief of the Huben Guard and said: "You have done a good job, you are not afraid of power, and you dare to fight against the enemy. From now on, you will be the Centurion of the Huben Guard!" Come on! Do you have any objections?"

The Chief of the Huben Guard hurriedly knelt down and thanked Liu Wei: "Thank you for the reward, my lord, the last general An dare not obey!"

"Well, you go down first. After this king leaves, the safety of this palace will depend on you!"

"Here!"

After the Tiger Benwei went down, Liu Wei took Liu An and talked to everyone in the palace, then rode on his horse, left Xiangping City, and headed towards Yi County along the official road.

... three days later.In the county seat of Yi County.

The officers and soldiers stationed in Yi County paid homage to Liu Wei: "My lord!"

"Free gift!"

Liu Wei waved his hand, and then asked Guo Jia and Xu Shu, "What's Yuan Shao doing these days when the King is not here?"

Xu Shu opened his mouth and replied: "My lord, Yuan Shao is afraid of the prince to a certain extent. Now, in order to guard against the lord, Yuan Shao is resorting to military force, arresting strong men from all over the country, expanding his army and horses, and has replenished the army taken away by Wen Chou. He sent General Yan Liang , Qu Yi, and Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling commanded 20 troops and stationed troops in Anping to guard against our army! But he himself led 20 troops to garrison Yecheng, and stored millions of stones in Yecheng. The rest of the place was not fortified. , I think what Yuan Shao means is to defend Yecheng to the death and not plan to defend other places! But the people of Jizhou are miserable, and now there are bandits in Jizhou, and the people are living in dire straits, and they all expect us to send troops to Jizhou to rescue them!"

"Hahahaha, if this is the case, Yuan Benchu's life will not be long, and the people will not support him, so what capital does he have to be an enemy of me! If you stick to one place, you will perish yourself!"

Liu Wei didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so cowardly. You must know that Gongsun Zan was repeatedly defeated by Yuan Shao in history, and finally defended Yi Jing.It was destroyed by Yuan Shao, defeated and burned himself to death, but now, it turned out that Yuan Shao was so frightened by Liu Wei that he hid in Yecheng and dared not come out.

"My lord, don't be too happy too early. Yecheng is tall and strong. If you want to break through Yecheng, it will not be easy. Moreover, Yuan Shao has accumulated hundreds of thousands of millet, which is more than enough to defend for a few years. Now we are marching with a large army. The daily loss of money and food is an astronomical figure, if the lord wants to defeat Yuan Shao, I'm afraid he will have to fight quickly, if it drags on, it may be bad for us!"

Guo Jia persuaded Liu Wei.

"Hahahaha!"

After hearing what Guo Jia said, Liu Wei laughed and said, "Feng Xiao, you are worrying unnecessarily. Do you know how much grain I bought from Jiangnan and Sichuan? In addition to the production in Liaozhou, even if I am Besieged in Liaozhou and unable to get out, I will consume energy for decades!"

"My lord, where did you get so much money and food?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei in surprise, but he remembered that for so many years in Liaozhou, although the money and food had been plentiful, after deducting the expenses, the remaining money and food were not much. The money and food used for sending troops in the past were all obtained by Liu Wei from the common people with the spoils of war. In exchange for this, Liu Wei also confiscated grain from Yuan Shao this time. How did Liu Wei become so rich all of a sudden!
"Haha, Feng Xiao, since ancient times, they have been graded by scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, but business is the most profitable way. This king buys cattle, sheep and horses from Liaozhou, transports them to the south by sea, in exchange for money, and then buys them from the south. Bringing back the food, in this way, the difference in the price is all my profit. There used to be pirates on the sea, but now I have a navy of [-] in Liaozhou, and there are no pirates in Liaozhou waters. Every time I do business, I order Huang Zhong sent thousands of navy escorts, and at least hundreds of people, the pirates on the sea would avoid the merchant ships from Liaozhou, how dare some pirates have no eyesight and come to rob my merchant ships from Liaozhou?"

Liu Wei said proudly.

"So that's it. In this way, we don't have to worry about military supplies in the future!"

Guo Jia laughed.

"You can say that, but after all, there are unpredictable things. If there is a natural disaster in Liaozhou, then we won't need soldiers. After all, we need money and food to help the victims!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he picked up the topic again and said, "Did Cao Mengde not do anything when Yuan Benchu ​​was so cowardly?"

"It seems that there is no such thing, but I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​sent Cao Cao a letter of divorce several times, hoping that he would send troops to help, but Cao Cao never responded. I guess Cao Cao is afraid of the lord and dare not use troops against us!"

Xu Shu guessed.

Liu Wei pondered for a while, then chuckled, and said, "If Cao Mengde was afraid of me, then he would have sent troops to help Yuan Benchu. He didn't send troops. Maybe he's thinking of some crazy idea!"

"My lord, why did you say that? Why is Cao Cao afraid of you and wants to send troops to help Yuan Shao?"

Xu Shu was puzzled.

"Yuan Zhi, think about it, I want to beat Feng Xiao, and I want to beat you, but both of you can't beat me, I'm fighting Feng Xiao now, and I'm going to beat you after I beat Feng Xiao, are you waiting Let me finish beating Feng Xiao and then beat you. Or hit me with Feng Xiao now?"

Liu Wei asked back.

"Of course I'm going to deal with the lord together with Feng Xiao, can you still wait for the beating?"

Xu Shu said.

"Isn't that enough? He Cao Cao is not coming now, and he is waiting at home to be beaten?"

"Hey, my lord's words seem to make sense! Then what is Cao Cao thinking at home, and he didn't come to help Yuan Shao! Could it be that he is stupid?"

Xu Shu said suspiciously.

Just when Liu Wei and Xu Shu were guessing why Cao Cao didn't help Yuan Shao, Guo Jia said eight words: "When two tigers fight, one must be injured!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Liu Wei's eyes lit up. It turned out that he had misunderstood it. Cao Cao was not planning any tricks, but was waiting for himself and Yuan Shao to fight to the death. profit.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei said with a smile: "Yuan Shao and I are not fighting between two tigers, but hunters and tigers. After I hunt and kill Yuan Shao, the fierce tiger, I will go to deal with Cao Mengde next. He wants to catch a fisherman." It's impossible!"

After a pause, Liu Wei said again: "You two, come up with a plan for me, I want to take down Yecheng at the least cost!"

Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other.Then look bitter!Here we go again, this guy, likes to push this kind of thing to the two of them.
