New Story of Lv Bu

In Longcuo City, White Horse General Gongsun Zan gave a resounding slap in the face to General Cheqi and Yuan Shao, Mu Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and this protracted battle of the border bridge truly came to an end. However, after the fight against Fangxie, the gunpowder was far from dissipated. At the end of March, Gongsun Zan returned to Youzhou and defeated Yuan Shao's general Cui Juye in Guangyang County. He achieved a great victory from Ma Shui and beheaded 8,000.

After this battle, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were unable to fight again. After the war, the pensions of the dead and wounded, the consumption of money and food, the soldiers' minds were unstable, all of which were like ropes, and they could not breathe. Get angry. Yuan Shao is better, Jizhou Yinfu, he owns at least six counties, and can recover at most one or two years. Gongsun Zan is miserable. There is only one county in Guangyang County, and he has to deal with the attack of Youzhou Mu Liu Boyan. The tragic situation made him want to crush Liu Boyan!

"My lord, our army was trapped in the city of Ganling for half a year. There was only consumption and no income. The grain depot had already bottomed out. Coupled with the pensions of the dead and wounded soldiers, and the placement of the families of the dead and disabled soldiers, they were in the treasury. I don’t have any money anymore. Looking at this year’s appearance, nine out of ten Jizhou is suffering from severe drought. Repairing the city, dredging the river, buying cattle seeds, and buying food everywhere are all a lot of expenses. Look at it like this, If we continue to fight, I am afraid that our Jizhou will be bankrupt before Gongsun Zan is destroyed."

Don't drive Tian Feng's case in front of him. The case is cluttered with papers. They are all from the Jizhou Six County newspaper, which has just been restored, and 80% of them are all kinds of urgent papers. "The city is dilapidated, and the county has no money or food, so I ask for funding." "There are many war dead, and the people are displaced. They are in urgent need of money and food." Dozens of documents are all such words. You don't need Tian Feng to think about it. As long as you are not a fool, I know that 80 to 90% of the words in this are true. For this reason, Tian Feng was so troubled and worried and whitened his hair.

This is the end? Yuan Shao still feels unwilling to give up. He was besieged in the city of Ganling for half a year. Now he has just raised his eyebrows, and the suffering has come to the fore. It is over like this. Not only him, but also the soldiers will not give up. "Yuan Hao, we are all old leaders and old men. Tell me the truth. How long can our army's money and food support? Is it enough to launch another 30,000-scale battle? Gongsun Zan now only has Guangyang left. County and county, as long as you put more effort into it, he will be finished!"

Yuan Shao's heart was agitated, and a little bit resentful, his grandmother was a bear! Who the **** said to Lao Tzu that contending for supremacy is just a game? Build walls high, accumulate grain, slowly become king, collect grain from grass, gather ten years of lessons, and then you will be able to destroy the dry and ruined, and the barbarians will be in great trouble, and the world will be settled? Don't you **** understand? The common people and soldiers all have to eat. When you are a soldier, you have to pay. If you die in battle, you have to care for your family members. Otherwise, who would dare to put your head on your trouser belt and sell your life? Coupled with the consumption of weapons, armor, ordnance, and war horses, after a battle, it is an astronomical consumption! You can't blow it out with just one mouth.

After listening to Yuan Shao's words, Tian Feng smiled miserably, his face was extremely miserable. "Lord, let's put it this way, except for the fields, houses, and manors, the rest of the inheritance you got has been turned into grain, armor, war horses, and five baht money, which have been thrown into this war. Now it is. , You are already in debt to 30,000 catties of gold. If you continue to fight, even if we are willing, your creditors will not be willing. Even if they luckily agree, the interest is enough for you to drink a pot."

"Ah? Have you reached such a point? What a shit? I will send an emissary to rush to Guangyang County to negotiate with Gongsun Bogui, and we must end the war as soon as possible." Yuan Shao was shocked, and he had it right away. decision. As a noble son of the fourth generation and three males, he is very familiar with the loan interest in his dynasty. That is Lu Dang'er's usury, which doubles as soon as he goes out. Yuan Shao does this thing often. The annual interest of 30,000 catties of gold is enough for him to support 10,000 pawns.

"So, the lord is fortunate! The soldiers are fortunate! The people are fortunate! Even I, Tian Feng, can take a sigh of relief and continue to play the role of the lord. In the past half month, I am about to be caught by those creditors. Driving crazy!" Tian Feng let out a sigh, and leaned on the sheepskin cushion behind him, as if paralyzed. One can imagine how much pressure he was under.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but get angry from his heart and gave birth to the guts. His grandmother was a bear, so someone dared to force Yuan Shao for debts? The noble son's self-esteem made him immediately murderous. He sat down and approached Tian Feng's ear, and said softly: "Should we do them?" While speaking, his right index finger made a graceful movement of wiping his neck.

Upon hearing this, Tian Feng was shocked immediately. He jumped up and covered Yuan Shao's mouth. Seeing no one around, he gently let go of his hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Lord! Don’t do anything! To tell you the truth, I really thought about it this way, and put a crime on them, cut them all, and confiscated billions of wealth. This is not the best of both worlds. Is it? The people are cut, the debts are gone, even if there are a few more big battles of tens of thousands of people, I won’t be afraid. But, it’s really impossible!"

"The road was done like this before Nanyang County set off. That one vote was a great job, earning a whole 100,000 catties of gold. He arrested all the family members in Nanyang County and listed the price. When he saw gold, he let him go. There were more than a dozen stubbornly resisted, all of them were punishable by his clan. But the result? When he arrived in Shouchun, he had a lot of clues, and when he was ready to go, he just had to cast one. A catty of gold, two or three years later, you will be able to harvest five catties of gold, but no one pays attention to him if you look at the world."

"Why? The big vote he did in Nanyang County made him banned by the world's noble families! Because in the eyes of the world's noble families, the road has long lost its credibility, and all he has is just a knife in his hand. Who dares to lend him money is to be an enemy of the noble families in the world! Without the support of the noble families, where does the money and food come from? Where do the soldiers come from? That is a difficult step! Although the highway has occupied Yangzhou in name He fights against those big and small aristocratic families every day. All of this is his own. Without the big vote from Nanyang County, how could he get into such a situation? Never!"

Tian Feng's long talk, like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguished the anger in Yuan Shao's heart! This is the only teacher who never forgets the past! Without the support of the aristocratic family, let alone fighting for world hegemony, it would be difficult to survive. The world aristocratic family is not only the Yuan family. "Well, that's the only way. Presumably Gongsun Bogui is more difficult than me. I still have six counties in Jizhou. He has only one Guangyang county in his hand. In my opinion, when it comes to truce, he Gongsun Zan is more urgent than I am!"

Yuan Shao's guess was correct. At this moment, Gongsun Zan was on the verge of exhausting the lamp, and he continued to fight. The people of Guangyang County could eat him alive without waiting for Yuan Shao to hit him. Youzhou was originally a small state with a large area and sparse population. It has always depended on Qingzhou and Yanzhou to earn 200 million yuan each year. After the turmoil of the world, the two hundred million yuan was naturally gone, forcing Liu Yutang to be a Youzhou shepherd. He had to put clothes and rough food every day, personally help the field, help the exiles, caress the barbarians, and make a contribution for the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou example.

Is it because Liu Boyan doesn't want to eat better and live more comfortably? Is he Liu Boyan who shouldn't be a foreigner and put the country in power? No! It's not for nothing, it's impossible for it! I have no food in my belly, no money in my pocket, and even if I have a domineering plan in my chest, I have to sink my heart, put those irrelevant thoughts aside, calm down and drink my own thin porridge with pickles and bean paste. porridge.

There are three ways for Gongsun Zan to make money. The first one is naturally taxation. Guangyang County and Yuyang County are sparsely populated. This taxation is pure soup and widowed. It is better than nothing. The second one is to conquer foreign races. To put it bluntly, it is to find a name and go out to grab a special looting. This one accounts for 60% of his income. The third article is also smuggling of foreign races and trafficking in contraband to the Central Plains.

Now that the Wanli Xianbei Grassland and Liaodong in the east have all returned to Dasima Lubu, Gongsun Zan had the courage, and he didn't dare to mess with this ruthless man, and the road to money would be over. The world is in chaos and the princes are separated. Even if they are armed and escorted, they are afraid that they will encounter shameless princes like Yuan Road. This will reduce the way to traffic ginseng skins to the Central Plains by 60% to 70%. Smuggling to a foreign race, on the site of Da Sima Lubu, is it still his turn to get Gongsun Zan? In this way, Gongsun Zan turned out to have no livelihood.

The reason why I went south to Jizhou and Qingzhou, in addition to seizing the land of the rich and strengthening my own power, is more important to solve my own financial crisis. This alien can't grab it. The Central Plains can always grab it. The government can't grab it. It's right to grab the Yellow Turban. As the Youzhou Army went all the way to the south, it looked like a group of locusts, wherever they went to grab it, people's grievances filled with complaints.

I finally solved my financial crisis, paid off all the debts, dreamed of killing Yuan Benchu ​​and dominating Jizhou, but there was another battle of the bridge! After the defeat in this battle, Gongsun Zan immediately changed from a small wealthy man to a pauper. The only good news is that he has no debts. As a result, Gongsun Zan's situation is even more embarrassing. Where is the way out?

"Hahahahahahaha! Yuan Benchu ​​came to ask for peace? Promise him! Promise him immediately!" In front of the generals, Gongsun Zan was still so calm and composed. After saying this, he immediately put his eyes on the map and stared at Youbeiping County. Old man Liu Yu, wait a year or a half for my delay, and I will surely go to the east in person, and hunt you under the city of Youbeiping Tuyin!
