Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Sun Jian was advised to fake his death and plot to seize Jingzhou.

Nanyang County, Wan County, the county guard.

Just when Cao Jun was defeated, Sun Jianjun's side was gathering together.

At this time, Xiao Zhe sat on the main seat, Zhong Xuan sat on his side, followed by Sun Ce, Sun Ben, Gao Shun, Huo Jun, Li Yan, Sun Fu, Li Tong, Xu Chu and others.

Everyone was sitting, all looking at Xiang Lang in the middle to report the military situation:

"Dudu, this time our army fought with Cao's army, gathered all kinds of soldiers and horses, captured more than 20,000 enemy troops in total, and killed no less than 15,000 enemy troops!"

"In addition to the prisoners, our army has captured a lot of armor and equipment, hundreds of tents, and more than 500 chariots and horses!"

"As for the losses of our army, no more than 8,000, of which more than 1,000 are seriously wounded and difficult to fight again, and the remaining 2,000 people are all lightly wounded!"

"As for the materials damaged by our army, there are not many, but the grain and grass are greatly damaged, and the rest of the weapons are ......."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard Xiang Lang's words, until after Xiang Lang finished speaking, Sun Ben got up and said with a smile:

"This battle is well scheduled, and our army has won another big victory!"

He smiled like this, and Xiao Zhe said when he saw this:

"If it weren't for proper scheduling, this time it would also be a loss for Bo Fu to lead the army!"

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to win this big victory!"

"You also have your own merits, and when I look back, I will write your merits into a military newspaper and send it to Chengdu, and then I will make merit with you!"

When the people heard the deeds, they were overjoyed.

The unique Zhong Xuan stroked his beard and sighed:

"It's a pity that although our army won this battle, it also lost a lot of food. "

"In addition to the grain and grass seized by Cao Cao, there are still destroyed fields, and the loss is no less than one million stones!"

"With such a big gap, I don't know how many people will lose the harvest!"

"Without this food, our army's tax revenue will also be reduced, and I hope the governor will take more care of it!"

He is not as good as the generals, he is the Taishou of Nanyang, and the generals patted their butts and left after victory.

But Nanyang's 117 is a mess and he still needs to deal with it!

When he thought of these things, his head was about to explode, so he had no choice but to ask Xiao Zhe for help.

Listening to Zhong Xuan's words, everyone's joy was also dispelled a lot.

Li Yan thought for a while and got up and said:

"Dudu, now that our army has won and lost so much grain and grass, why don't we march into Yingchuan and take some grain and grass back to make up for the loss!"

But as soon as his words came out, Xiao Zhe shook his head and said:

"Yingchuan and Yanzhou don't have to think about it, after our army burned the grain this time, I sent Wei Yan and Xu Ding to lead the army north, kill the enemy army and destroy the fields. "

"Now that so many days have passed, Cao Cao's losses are no less than ours!"

"Moreover, although Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, there were a lot of soldiers and horses, if our army went again, I am afraid that the dog would be forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, and the gains with our army outweighed the losses!"

Hearing that Xiao Zhe also sent people to destroy Cao Cao's fields, everyone was shocked.

After all, Zhong Xuan is a native of Yingchuan, and he couldn't help but sigh when he heard this:

"Cao Cao is also to blame this time, that is, now that the two armies of our army are fighting, I don't know how many more refugees will come to the Central Plains next year!"

"The number of refugees next year will definitely be indispensable!"

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he looked at everyone with a solemn face:

"This year's food shortage is so big, if there is another disaster next year, the Central Plains will inevitably starve everywhere!"

"I've been stargazing lately, and there will be a big drought next year!"

"Therefore, our army should be prepared in advance!"

If he remembers correctly, next year, that is, in 194, there will be a drought in the whole of Dahan.

This drought is extensive, from Guanzhong in the west to Xuzhou in the east!

The spread was so great that the grain was sold for 500,000 yuan a stone, and the people were able to eat each other, which was also the beginning of the sharp decline in population at the end of the Han Dynasty.

This drought was followed by another drought three years later, and the population almost starved to death.

These two droughts (BAAD) disasters were also the main causes of the plague epidemic during the Jian'an period in the late Han Dynasty.

The most intuitive description is Cao Cao's Songli line, the white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the sentence of breaking people's intestines is read.

Presumably, Cao Cao would not have thought that there would be such a disaster when he slaughtered Xuzhou.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhe's serious expression, and they all put away their joy.

Especially a general like Sun Ben, who had seen Xiao Zhe's prediction of celestial phenomena, suddenly raised his heart and hurriedly asked:

"Is the drought really serious?"

"This drought is rare in a century!"

Xiao Zhe nodded and looked at everyone:

"So don't think that our army is in a good situation now, if the drought really comes, then our army will also be affected by this!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xuan frowned even more and said:

"Governor, if there is another drought next year, what should our army do?"

Food is too precious for troubled times, and they already have a shortage this year, so how can they survive the drought next year?

Xiao Zhe faced Zhong Xuan's question, slowly got up and said:

"Natural disasters are ruthless, there will be a big drought next year, and our army will have to prepare this year!"

"One is to hoard a large amount of grain and grass, and the other is to use this grain and grass to collect the victims!"

"When there is a big drought next year, the people of the Central Plains will inevitably go south, and our army will take this opportunity to take care of these victims. "

"As long as our army can absorb its refugees, then the strength of our army will inevitably increase again. "

"But the Governor, the key is where does the grain and grass come from?"

Xiang Lang couldn't help but speak:

"Now there is a shortage of food in our army, although Cao Cao is defeated, there is no food in his hands, where does our army hoard grain and grass?"

"Cao Cao has no food, but Yuan Shu has food!"

Xiao Zhe turned back to the crowd:

"Now that Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army, and Yuan Shu is still in Jiangxia, Runan must be empty!"

"Therefore, the food shortage of our army must be replenished from above Runan!"

Sun Ce listened, got up and asked:

"What does the governor mean is that our soldiers will send Runan to harvest grain and grass?"

"But if there is a drought next year, and the people's grain is collected by our army, what should we do next year?"

When the generals heard this, they also nodded secretly.

If they didn't know that there would be a drought next year, they would have robbed it.

But next year there will be a big drought, how can they rob the people of food?

When Xiao Zhe heard this, he shook his head and smiled:

"No, what our army wants to rob is not the people's food, but the Yuan family's food!"

"This time Cao Cao came to rob the people's grain, our army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can he do such a thing!"

"It just so happens that our army has now collected a lot of Cao Jun prisoners, so you can change into Cao Jun's clothes and go all the way to Runan to collect grain!" (Read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"All the people's food is not taken, like a family under Yuan Shu, as long as it is a person who supports Yuan Shu, our army will rob it. "

"I heard that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family live in Runan, with 100,000 acres of fertile land, no matter what other families do, just the food in Yuan Shu's family is enough for our army to recover its losses!"

"And if Runan is attacked, Yuan Shu can also be forced to retreat!"

"Now, what our army has to do is not to conquer the city, but to seize the time to recuperate. "

"A year is not a long time, but it is not a short time, our army must try to raise as much food as possible during this time!"

When the generals heard that Xiao Zhe was going to pretend to be Cao Jun to rob the Runan family, they were all happy for a while.

Cao Cao robbed them, and they went to rob Yuan Shu.

The left and right are in the name of Cao Cao, and they don't lose anything!

After the agreement, Xiao Zhe ordered the generals to prepare to act, and the battle was handed over to Sun Ce to command, and he himself was preparing to march in the direction of Xiangyang.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhe warned Zhong Xuan:

"Zhong Gong, next year's drought must not be worried, if there are more refugees this year, just use the method of work for relief, can not let the people be idle, dig more ditches for irrigation, set up deep wells, do not slack off!"

Zhong Miao is a great political talent, although he has never heard of cash-for-work, but he can also understand it.

After understanding, he immediately solemnly arched his hand and said:

"Rest assured, I will step up my efforts to pacify the people and try my best to deal with the drought!"

After giving such an order, Xiao Zhe left Sun Ce and other generals, took Xu Gaoshun, Xu Chu and a group of prisoners, and marched in the direction of Xiangyang.

At this time, in the territory of Jiangxia, outside Xiling City.

The camp of Yuan Shujun stands outside the city, stretching for more than ten miles, and it is magnificent at a glance.

But Yuan Shu was in the military tent at this time, and said with hatred on his face:

"Where did Sun Jian get this Wenpin Xiao'er?"

"How is the garrison so good?"

As the generals listened, they all shook their heads and sighed.

During this time, they launched a large number of attacks on Xiling many times, but Wen Ping relied on 20,000 people to block the siege of his 70,000 army.

It is useless to attack at night, onslaught, dig tunnels.

Several attacks were all defused by Wen Ping one by one.

This is also since Nanyang, Yuan Shu has once again been deflated by Sun Jianjun.

Seeing the generals look like this, Yan Xiang sighed:

"Lord, this Wenpin is said to be Liu Biao's old department!"

"At the beginning, he and Na Huo Jun were both in Jiangling City, and after being captured by Sun Jian, they were put under the command of Sun Jian's army!"

"But it's useless to dwell on this matter now!"

"I heard that Sun Jian's army has captured Yizhou, and Xiao Zhe personally led the army back!"

"Now we are fighting with Cao Cao in Nanyang, with Xiao Zhe's means, it is difficult for Cao Cao to get an advantage!"

"Our army is now hindered here, it is rare to run out, and the food is approaching, you might as well return to the army!"

Seeing that Yan Xiang was persuaded to retreat again, Yuan Shu gritted his teeth for a while, looked in the direction of Jiang Xia and said angrily:

"Sun Jian'er is hateful, Xiao Zhe'er is even more hateful!"

"If it weren't for the tricks of the day, this Jiangxia would be the place where our army marched today!"

He naturally knew that it was difficult to be effective now, but the hatred in his heart was hard to get rid of, and he was really unwilling to retreat!

Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned and said:

"By the way, what happened to the army that went east from here that day?"

What he said was exactly what Gan Ning was talking about.

After setting off that day, Gan Ning rushed over from Jiangxia directly with the fleet.

There was no naval army under his command, so he could stop Gan Ning, so he had to let Gan Ning go east.

But in order to prevent Gan Ning from attacking the grain road, he still sent heavy troops to guard the grain road.

But since then, Gan Ning has disappeared.

Hearing this, Yan Xiang shook his head and said:

"There is no news about this army of soldiers and horses, and I am afraid of what plans this army has!"

"If the lord doesn't retreat, if this army enters Jiujiang, then the back road of our army will be cut off!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he thought about it carefully, and had to say in a deep voice:

"That's it, let's withdraw the troops!"

"Order the whole army to pull out the camp and return to Lujiang!"

When the generals listened, they were suddenly pardoned!

But as soon as Yuan Shu returned from the camp, he saw a sentry hurriedly rushing over and shouting:

"My lord, there is news from our army, saying that the Cao army has been defeated by Xiao Zhe and has suffered heavy losses!"

"Now that Xiao Zhe has returned to the army, I don't know what to do next!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he said with a pale face:

"Cao Cao has already been defeated?"

When Yan Xiang heard this, he hurriedly said to Yuan Shu:

"Lord, Cao Cao's army is defeated, what if Xiao Zhe returns to the army to pursue?"

Yuan Shu listened to Xiao Zhe's words, his heart was frightened, and he hurriedly shouted:

"The whole army is accelerating, don't slack off!"

"Hurry up and return to Lujiang!"

As he spoke, he took his soldiers and horses all the way to the direction of the Lujiang River.
