New Story of Lv Bu

Time flies like electricity. By the beginning of September in the third year of Jian'an, the world’s princes were struggling for hegemony. The tragic battle has passed, and it is not far from the closing date. In Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, the lords of Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce were inextricably killed in the four prefectures of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou. The reason is that there is me in you, and you in me. The rapid change in identity between ally and enemy is enough to make people in the world stunned. Everyone realizes that this may be the last chance, so they are crazier and the methods are more intense. The heroes have torn off the veil of hypocrisy, and many tricks are endless.

At this time, the main battlefields were Jiangdong and Yanzhou, like the two ends of a spindle. Wen Wang Lu Bu seemed to have the thoughts of sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fighting, smiling at the tides ebb and flow. The little bully Sun Ce tossed between Wujun, Kuaiji, Liyang, and Yuzhang counties, wandering horizontally and horizontally, invincible. After all the hardships, I finally decided the four counties. However, after a long battle, he was exhausted, his elite soldiers had lost all his life, and his money and food was astronomical. In desperation, he had no choice but to rest and recuperate for the time being, Xu Tu was enterprising.

On the other end of the spindle, between Yanzhou Dingtao and Changyi, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are trying their best to calculate each other. The three states of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou have experienced wars and chaos, and they have long been empty. Coupled with the severe drought and no harvest of grains, the food supply has suddenly become tense. The ancients said that a dead Taoist friend does not die a poor Taoist. In desperation, Yuan Shao had to gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, staring at the treasury that originally belonged to Cao Jun in the city of Changyi. The reason why Zang Hong was able to hold onto Changyi for five days, in the final analysis, was that Yuan Jun was afraid that he would die at the sight of ten deaths, and in despair, ordered the burning of the food in the treasury. After throwing the rat restraint, Yuan Jun had to drive the infantry ants to join the city, changing their lives for another, trying to exhaust the thousands of county soldiers under Zang Hong's command. Only in this way can we successfully occupy Changyi and seize the treasury money and grain.

After learning that Zang Hong had attacked Changyi and Yuan Shao led an army to follow, Cao Jun immediately withdrew from Dingtao City. Thousands of fine riders were the first to withdraw. Three days later, Cao Jun's infantry slowly retreated eastward. Soon after, the troops of Cao Jun's brigade seemed to have disappeared. No matter how the princes' horses were inquired about, Cao Jun was a dragon without seeing the head and tail, and there was no news.

After talking about the current situation of Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, how did the newly appointed board teacher Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei and Liu Xuande live? It's simple, life is better than death! Liu Bei is also the world's leading hero. At the beginning of his appointment as Xuzhou Mu, he was still full of pride in his heart and wanted to show his ambitions. However, after three days, he was completely stunned by the cold reality.

"My lord, there are 84,000 soldiers in Xuzhou at the moment, of which 24,000 are the old men brought by the lord from the plains. General Cao Bao has 8,000 Danyang soldiers. This is the backbone of the former Laozhou herdsmen who guarded Tan County. In addition, there are 52,000 county soldiers, mainly distributed among the counties." Mizhu held a stack of documents in his hand, looked at Liu Bei with his eyes, and his mouth was extremely familiar.

"Since Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, after two great wars, the people of Xuzhou were massacred by Cao Cao hundreds of thousands, and blood flowed into rivers. Not only that, but the treasury in Xiapi and Pengcheng counties were also empty. This year, they have met again. In the drought, there is no harvest, and the food supply is immediately tense. In my opinion, the lord should eliminate the weak and stay strong, streamline the troops and simplify the administration. Only in this way can we survive the crisis safely."

"Yesterday, I carefully inspected the treasury. The grain and grass in the treasury of Tanxian County can support one hundred thousand people a year. If we eliminate the weak and stay strong, we will leave 40,000 to 50,000 elites. Once something happens, there will be plenty of room for maneuver. That’s too much. As for the army’s military resources, it can equip 100,000 horses, but there is a serious lack of war horses and strong bows. The lord, the family left by Laozhou Mu, are here!"

Mizhu finally finished speaking. He stretched out his hand back, and Mifang, who was sitting below him, immediately walked forward on his knees and handed a piece of paper up. "My lord, here is the list of all the savings in the Tancheng Mansion Treasury. Armies, food and grass, golden drum flags, and even gold, silver and wealth are all here. Lord, please choose one person to preside over the distribution. In my opinion, Jian Xian and Sun Gongyou can be here!"

Speaking of this, Mizhu crossed his hands and bowed, and respectfully saluted Liu Bei. "Lord, now my little sister's big wedding is coming soon, Zifang and I will rush back to Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, to say farewell to the lord, and hope that the Lord will approve it." Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's heart suddenly appeared. A moment of sourness. Dare to love you Donghai Moose's family climbed to Gao Zhi'er, now you want to be the uncle of the country? No wonder you dare to speak up in front of me! However, his way to success is different from others, but to cultivate and accumulate prestige.

To be honest, this is also forced out by the sinister reality. Although Liu Bei claimed to be Emperor of Han Jing, after Zhongshan Jing Wang Liu Sheng, he has not been officially recognized by the court. Except for this big hat that is not eloquent, he is only concerned with the two of Zhang. Not to mention that he had just accepted the imperial appointment and turned over immediately. Even if he wanted to change his face with the Mi's family, he had to think carefully about the pros and cons. Thinking of this, he finally had a solution. "Zizhong, this is a good thing! How can I refuse?" When he said this, he stretched his voice and shouted: "Come on! Prepare a great gift, hand it over to Zizhong and Zifang, and take it to Jingshi Hexi!"

"So, my brothers will accept it on behalf of King Wen!" Mizhu's face was as plain as before, and he gave a deep salute again, and then retired.

As soon as Mizhu and Mifang left, Sun Gan received all the treasury. After checking them one by one, he came to Liu Bei for instructions with joy. "Lord, what the Mi family brothers said is true! In the treasury, there is not even a grain of food! Mizi Zhongzhendu is also a supporter!" After the praise of Mizhu, Sun Gan came to the point. . "Lord, do you want to eliminate the weak and keep the strong?"

Before Sun Gan's voice had finished, Zhang Fei, who sat down under Liu Bei's head, spoke. "Gongyou, this is a bad word! At this moment, Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde are fighting fiercely with the Han army in Yanzhou. Yuan Gonglu is looking at it in Shouchun. Is it the time to eliminate the weak and stay strong? What's more, Lu Fengxian in the north has been eyeing it, and I don’t know when it will be. Use a thunderous blow. In my opinion, not only should we not eliminate the weak and stay strong, but we should also rapidly expand the army. Although we have an army of 20,000, the elite is only three or four thousand! The rest are the county soldiers before Tao Qian It’s not clear to me whether it can be solid. Brother, Cao Bao’s eight thousand Danyang soldiers, I have always felt uneasy!"

"Yide! How can you be so rude to Gongyou? Sit down!" Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei with a sharp face, before turning to Sun Gan with a smile on his face. "Gongyou, what Yi De just said, there is still some truth. At this moment, there are packs of wolves in front and tigers behind, and we don't have a strong army in our hands. How can we hold Xuzhou? Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou were hit by a severe drought. There was no harvest, and the refugees were everywhere. If the army is not recruited in large numbers, I am afraid that there will be elbows and armpits!” Sun Gan is Liu Bei’s old man. It's the idea of ​​killing three birds with one stone. "No!" he replied loudly. Using the money and food accumulated in Tao Qian's treasury to recruit troops to buy horses, firstly expanded the strength, and secondly won the prestige, it is worth it!

From this day on, Liu Bei sent out the money and food in the treasury and recruited the army on a large scale. Soon there would be an army of 120,000 under his command. With great rejoicing, Liu Bei selected 40,000 elites among them and assigned them to practice day and night under the command of him and Guan Zhang. "With this 120,000 army, even if Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde are together, it is enough to keep Xuzhou!" Liu Bei sighed.

However, it was the first time that Liu Bei served as a state shepherd. He was seriously lacking in administrative experience and was not thoughtful about his work. Soon, after hearing about the news that Xuzhou Mu Liu Xuande opened the house to help the victims, the hungry and refugees in Qingzhou and western Yanzhou helped the old, the young, the wives and the young, and came swarms of Xuzhou, together with the local Xuzhou. There are hundreds of thousands of victims!

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Sun Gan stood at the head of Tanxian County, with a pergola in their hands, looking around. I saw the southeast, northwest and northwest of Tanxian County, and there was smoke and dust everywhere, and groups of hungry people covered in rags and face were helping the old and the young, and they came here in a hurry, and more than 100,000 people have gathered under the city wall of Tanxian County. The sound of howling shook the world, and when I looked at it, his face was full of eagerness, which was unbearable.

"Hey! I made a mistake! I regret not listening to Mizi Zhong's words!" Seeing this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but burst into tears. What he cried was the money and food that he had finally saved, but now it is about to fall into the mouth of the hungry people. However, in the eyes of the county soldiers, Master State Shepherd was crying for hundreds of thousands of refugees. "Gongyou, order the gates to be opened wide and set up porridge sheds. Passing my general order, no one can starve to death!"

"No!" Sun Qin slammed his promise and strode away. Since ancient times, the people of Bingzheng are most afraid of the refugees. Once the relief is given, it will cost countless money and food. If the relief is not provided, the refugees can only take risks. That is the second Yellow Turban chaos! The two evils were the lesser of the two, and the lord had no choice but to grit his teeth and order relief. Only with relief can the lord's prestige rise.

"Master! The big event is not good! General Guan Yu is in an emergency. Yingxin. Yuan Shu has gathered up his army and has come to attack Xuzhou!" At this moment, the captain in charge of communications strode Meteor. "Oh? Show me it!" Liu Bei quickly took the letter and read it at a glance. Yuan Shu's 150,000 army marched north from Shouchun and rushed straight down Pi. The striker had already arrived at Xia Pi, only a hundred miles away.

"Third brother! I immediately led the army out of the city to support Yun Chang. I will leave you with five thousand elite soldiers, and I will bring Cao Bao's eight thousand Danyang soldiers back, and let him be your lieutenant. Remember, you must defend Tancheng. Without the accumulation in the Tancheng Mansion Treasury, Xuzhou will be completely finished!" At this point, Liu Bei lowered his voice. "Yuan Shu came just right, let these hungry people fight forward and consume them first. In the year of the severe drought, there is so much food to feed them?" "No!" Zhang Fei said with a bow and bow.
