The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Currently, the main grain-producing areas in Zhoucheng include Laoying, Zhenliaocheng, and Jizhou.

Jizhou was the first to be ruled by Zhou Cheng and the first to build military camps.

Although it was harassed by the Xiongnu, Lu Bu, and clan traitors two years ago, as the Xiongnu were expelled and slaughtered, Lu Bu was killed, the clan traitors were wiped out, and Jizhou stabilized, the Jizhou Plain began to produce stable grain.

In addition, Zhou Cheng passes the development of business, as well as regulations, and subsidies for agriculture.

As a result, Jizhou became even more prosperous.

Jizhou now provides 40% of the food supplies for the Southern Expedition.

The remaining 60% is supplied by Zhenliaocheng and Laoying.

However, the grain produced in Zhenliaocheng and Laoying has to be supplied to many places. For example, Qingzhou is also short of grain.

Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other places are all similar, with many places lacking food.

Therefore, under Zhou Cheng's rule, food was still in a relatively tight state.

Among Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, the largest grain producer is naturally Xuzhou.

Yuzhou has experienced wars for a long time, and Yangzhou is Yuan Shu's hometown, so there should be more Xuzhou.

What's more, Xuzhou is the closest to Yanzhou.

Under Yuan Shu's order, the wealthy Xuzhou family still provided 50% of the food and grass for Yuan Shu.

Fifty percent of food and grass is not a small number.

Of course, if it were Xuzhou in the past, this would not be a big deal.

After all, Xuzhou is famous for its wealth and prosperity.

However, since Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou, Xuzhou has been the place of the Four Wars. In these years, Cao Cao left, Sun Jian came, and Yuan Shu came too.

The princes were just looking at things, exploiting them every time they came, as if they wanted to squeeze out every last drop of oil and water in every city.

The person responsible for collecting grain was Chen Gui, who was newly appointed by Yuan Shu to serve in Xuzhou Biejia.

Chen Gui was unambiguous about the matter of collecting grain. He contacted him personally and visited many times.

House by house was visited, and carts of grain and grass were transported to the front line.

Yuan Shu saw this and trusted Chen Gui even more.

Yuan Shu said to Yan Xiang and others more than once: If everyone in the world were like Chen Hanyu and his son, why would the world be worried?

Of course, most officials from Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou sneered at the"dog-licking" behavior of Chen Gui and his son.

Although they looked down on Chen Gui and his son, they did a good job. At least Chen Gui and his son provided military rations.

Moreover, Xuzhou provided 50% of the grain and grass, which greatly reduced Yangzhou's burden.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Xuzhou is building a cash machine, and Henan and Yangzhou people are also happy to see it

……

In the early morning, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, inspected the granary again.

There are still three batches of grain and grass to be put into storage today.

Two batches came from Xiapi and Pengcheng in Xuzhou, and one batch came from Yangzhou.

At this time, the grain and grass in the grain depot east of Xuzhou City were piled up into mountains.

Yuan Shu transferred a large amount of grain and grass to show Zhou Cheng his strength and to show that he was wealthy and could afford it.

Carloads of grain were unloaded on the shoulders of civilian workers, and then piled high along the stairs.

However, Yuan Shu never dreamed that the"licking dog" beside him had already taken refuge in Zhou Cheng.

If the food and grass in Xuzhou City are burned, it is foreseeable that the morale of Yuan Jun fighting on the front line will collapse.

However, Xuzhou has no food and no military morale. Defeat is only a matter of time.

It has to be said that Zhou Cheng is very good at using chess pieces to kill people.’

"Father, Li Wenyou has already written."

At this time, Chen Deng said to Chen Gui.

Chen Gui said:"It seems that the war is coming to an end."

If the war goes well, the food sown in Xuzhou should be able to survive this year's cold winter."

"With so much food, do we really need to burn it all in one fire? Why don't you keep some?……"

Chen Deng looked at the grain piled several feet high in the granary with some reluctance.

Most of the grain shipped from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou was stored in Xuzhou.

If there is a problem with Xuzhou's grain depot, it will be a 'critical blow' to Yuan Shu!

However, if some can be left, it will be easier for the people of Xuzhou to survive the winter.

Chen Gui raised his hand, interrupted Chen Deng, and said,"It's better than the corpses being piled up so high."

If the calculation is correct, the food should be scraped together, and it will still be enough for the winter.

Of course, some people may still starve to death.

However, Chen Gui believes that Zhou Cheng will not sit idly by and will still allocate some food when the time comes.

Just like Zhou Cheng going to Liangzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou and other places to allocate grain.

If the food is not burned, people will die.

Moreover, many people will die.

Chen Gui has a steelyard in his heart, and he can calculate the pros and cons.

End the war as soon as possible and make Xuzhou peaceful.

Better still, Xuzhou was destroyed and everything was in ruins.

Jizhou is the best example. Although it has suffered from moth thieves, it has been in peace for several years now.

Students go to Jizhou to study, and refugees go to Jizhou to seek a living.

Chen Deng said:"Father, I will do it after dark"

"Well, don't save any grain, burn them all."

Chen Gui reminded.

Chen Deng nodded, not leaving any hope for Yuan Shu._Fei
