The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Ji Ling temporarily retreated. He chose to play the battle-free card and could not avoid the battle for the time being.

At the same time, Ji Ling also sent a letter to Yuan Yao, asking for food and grass.

The soldiers and horses move forward before the food and grass are moved.

What determines a war is not just the bravery of the soldiers.

For example, now, Ji Ling can hold on to the camp while sending out a small force to continue the harassment.

The premise is that there is sufficient food and grass.

Last year was also a year of disaster for Yuzhou, which experienced years of war, resulting in displacement and deprivation of livelihood for the people.

Although Yuan Yao was named Yuzhou Shepherd by Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng's support to Yuzhou could be said to be very little.

Only supervisors were sent, and some officials were responsible for supervision.

In addition, no troops will be stationed, and no food or other material subsidies will be provided.

As we all know, if you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.

Now Yuan Yao is also in trouble.

Yuan Yao was able to hold on until now because he took refuge with Zhou Cheng, relying on the big tree, so Sun Ce did not dare to attack Yuzhou directly.

Secondly, the local aristocratic families in Yuzhou still support him.

The treasury of these wealthy families supported Yuan Yao with food and money, barely maintaining the operation of Yuzhou.

However, every time Zhou Cheng ordered Yuan Yao to attack Sun Ce, it required a waste of manpower and material resources.

As for the source of troops, one is to recruit young men, and the other is to seek help from aristocratic families and ask them to send some private soldiers.

Put aside the private soldiers for now.

Recruiting young people is not a simple matter.

Because the recruitment of young people is based on notices issued from the state, from state to county, county to county, and county to township.

At this level down, the promotion of practical things during this period all depends on the influence of officials in the local area.

And this influence is closely related to the official's background.

For example, an official from a wealthy family whose own family is influential in the local area can easily recruit hundreds or even thousands of people.

The prerequisite for these is the cooperation of aristocratic families.

Yuan Yao relied entirely on the remaining power of the Yuan family, and was the boss of the fourth and third generation of the Bao family.

If this were not the case, Yuan Yao would not be able to get the wealthy families in Yuzhou to help him.

However, the rich and powerful families in Yuzhou were asked to cut their flesh again and again, and their attitude towards the Yuan family was completely different.

From support to coping, some even didn't bother to cope and just ignored Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao knew that he was suffering, but he did not dare to disobey Zhou Cheng's order.

Yuan Yao knew in his heart that it would be very easy for Zhou Cheng to destroy him.

Moreover, the Yuan family, young and old, have all been sent to Zhenliao City.

Yuan Yao was even ready to marry his sister to Zhou Cheng.

I just hope that Zhou Cheng will not kill the Yuan family

……

After Yuan Yao received Ji Ling's letter urging him to raise food, he thought of ways to raise food, wrote a report, and sent Yuan Yin to report it to Zhou Cheng.

It is hoped that Zhou Cheng will allow Ji Ling to withdraw his troops next month.

Moreover, Yuan Yao also attached the actual situation in Yuzhou in his letter.

At the same time, Yuan Yao also proposed to marry his sister to Zhou Cheng.

Yuan Yao's sister, Mrs. Yuan in history, and one of Sun Quan's concubines.

All this is just to express Yuan Yao's loyalty to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng inspected many places in Xuzhou and soon received a report from Yuan Yao.

At this time, Yuan Yin was very respectful in front of Zhou Cheng.

After listening to Yuan Yao's report, Zhou Cheng looked at Yuan Yin

"Can't or don't want to?"

Zhou Cheng was questioning Yuan Yin.

Cold sweat dropped from Yuan Yin's forehead.

The orders given by Zhou Cheng cannot be disobeyed.

However, Yuan Yin also knows the situation in Yuzhou.

Although Yuzhou is a land in the Central Plains, it has been war-torn for years. Coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people were displaced and the people were in dire straits. Now the rich and wealthy families had very little dependence on Yuan Yao after Yuan Shu's death.

’Yuan Yin truthfully reported:"Lord, please calm down. There is really no food available.""

"If you have any difficulty, use this place more often."

Zhou Cheng walked up to Yuan Yin, raised his hand, knocked Yuan Yin's head, then patted Yuan Yin's mouth, and said:"Rather than just talking with your mouth, your mouth can't solve the problem. If you feel that there is no problem here, If you use it, it will be useless if you keep it."

Finally, Zhou Cheng patted Yuan Yin's head again.

Cold sweat dripped from Yuan Yin's forehead._Please download the novel without underlining
