Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, Wenpin is definitely one who is underestimated.

Historically, Wenpin, as a famous general in Jingzhou, was responsible for guarding the north of Jingzhou and resisting the northern princes from going south.

After returning to Cao Cao, Wenpin successfully resisted Sun Quan and Guan Yu's attacks many times.

Of course, it was also because he was too good at defending, so his performance was not as good as that of the generals who attacked the city and captured the territory.

However, in Liu Biao's strategy, Wenpin, who was good at guarding, was the most in line with Liu Biao's wishes.

As long as Jingbei is defended, Jiaozhou can be captured to stabilize the rear.

Then use the population, money and food of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou to slowly map them out and strive for hegemony in the world.

So what if it’s slow? Just be stable!

Apparently, Cao Cao realized that he had underestimated Liu Biao in the past

……

In the army, ordinary soldiers need to eat three liters of food every day to be full.

Only when you are well fed can you have the strength to fight on the battlefield.

However, Cao Cao's current food and grass cannot withstand consumption.

Especially Yuan Jun's surrendered soldiers obviously did not receive fair treatment in terms of food distribution.

"Duke Cao is very unfair. In the recent attacks on the stronghold, we have been put first, but we have not been able to have enough food."

"I still have plenty to eat with Mr. Yuan"

"If I had known this, I should have fled back to Mr. Yuan."

The soldiers at the grassroots level don't care whether the princes are for personal gain or justice.

Especially when they are hungry.

The stomach determines the thoughts of the brain.

In order to save food, Cao Cao has greatly reduced the food and grass rations returned to Yuan's army.

Now Yuan's army every day You can only get two liters of food.

If you change two liters of food or three liters of food in normal times, you can just endure it.

But when fighting, you are fighting life and death, but you can't eat enough, which has a great impact on morale.

However, , Cao Cao also thought about it.

Anyway, these soldiers surrendered by Yuan's army are used as cannon fodder. They will die when they die.

Didn't Zhou Cheng also set up a"death fighting camp"?

They are also cannon fodder.

Isn't it good now? I don't see those The surrendered soldiers rebelled.

However, Cao Cao forgot one thing.

Zhou Cheng at least gave hope to the surrendered soldiers in the death fighting camp.

As long as they can obtain military merit, they can leave the death fighting camp, and the accumulated military merit can also be exchanged for fields and women. Cattle and sheep.

At the same time, the soldiers were also fed every day.

And what about Cao Cao? It’s not that he didn’t want to, but he was too poor!

He couldn’t let the soldiers be fed while his soldiers were hungry.

However, Cao Cao The problem has been discovered.

He needs food now.

During the war, he could only buy food with money.

The wealthy families in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou still had food.

But during the war, the price of food rose again.

From 30 yuan before the war , has risen to 50 qian, and may rise to 70 qian per stone in the near future.

Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu:"Use all the remaining money in the army to buy grain."

Although Cheng Yu 'eats people', if you want to get food, you still need to rely on Cheng Yu.

However, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

You can't continue to eat people!

Moreover, this time the lack of food is a problem for the entire city.

Wan The soldiers and civilians in the city are short of food.

If the army has no food to eat, it will mutiny and disperse.

If the people have no food to eat, they will also cause trouble, and if the people's morale is dispersed, how can Cao Cao strive to dominate the world?

Cheng Yu said:"My lord, the money is limited, and the food is limited." The price has gone up again. I'm afraid I can only buy 30,000 stone grains."

"What?!"When Cao Cao heard this, he opened his mouth subconsciously.

He was surprised, why did he have so little money?

Cheng Yu coughed twice and said:"My lord, General Xiahou and others have won a new victory in Runan, my lord will reward you……"

After hearing Cheng Yu's reminder, Cao Cao remembered.

Xia Houyuan, Cao Xiu, Cao Hong and others were newly victorious. Cao Cao was pleased and rewarded them.

Now comes the problem.

When you spend money, you are lavish, but when you need money, you have no money.

Moreover, Cao Cao could not plunder Runan.

Runan is a famous county in the world.

Not only is the Yuan family in Runan, but there are also many large families.

If Cao Cao dares to rob Runan, then he can't even hope to get the support of the wealthy family.

"Money."

Cao Cao murmured.

Where can I get money?

At this time, Cheng Yu reminded:"Master, if you want to withdraw money, there is a way. Hearing this, Cao

Cao asked Cheng Yu excitedly.

After Cheng Yu approached Cao Cao, he said in a very low voice:"You can dig people's tombs and get money or pearls to buy food.""

Digging ancestral graves... is such an extremely immoral thing.

Cao Cao thought about it and agreed.

After eating human flesh, what's the point of digging ancestral graves?!

So, Cao Cao secretly summoned the army to select the graves of big families.

Passed Dig graves, obtain the money and orbs, and buy grain from wealthy families in Yangzhou and Yuzhou

……

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The soldiers waved their spears and were training hard.

The archers nocked their bows and shot arrows.

Since Liu Bei was defeated and lost Dongjun, he quickly reorganized his army and horses with the help of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao.

Gradually, Liu Bei also has some virtuous reputation.

Although because Zhou Cheng disrupted the development of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei did not have the opportunity to meet the emperor and was called"Uncle Liu".

But so far, Liu Bei finally has a place to stay.

Currently, he has cavalry Seven hundred, two thousand bow soldiers, one thousand sword and shield soldiers, and three thousand spear soldiers.

Although there are not many soldiers, their training has not been interrupted, and they can be regarded as an elite army.

During this period, Chen Gong was also planning for Liu Bei. Leave Yanzhou, a place of four wars, and go to Yizhou or Jingzhou for development.
