Chapter 60 It’s destiny, will Cao’s army lose this battle?
Xun Yu couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this scene, Xi Yu stopped talking.
He looked at Xun Yu and seemed to notice something. He stood up and walked towards him.
"Brother, are you in trouble?"
Xun Yu raised his head and handed the letter in his hand to Xi Yu.
"During the previous heavy rain, the rivers were washed away. The grain road transporting from Yanzhou to Xuzhou is now full of mud. Now our army's grain road can no longer be transported!"
Xun Yu frowned.
This heavy rain washed away the river channel, which was a bit unexpected for him.
At the same time, the entire grain road between Yanzhou and Xuzhou has become impossible to transport, and this continues.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xun Yu: "Brother, does our army have no other food channels?"
This is extremely detrimental to the development of Yanzhou.
Once there is a problem with food and grass, if Xuzhou launches a counterattack, the dozens of towns that Cao Cao and others have captured will probably be in vain.
In Xuzhou City, the three Liu Bei brothers and others, who had been invited to help, were gathering with Tao Qian.
It won't be long before Cao Cao and others at the front will be unable to continue their campaign against Xuzhou due to lack of food and fodder.
And at this time, I don’t know how long we have to wait?
"Let me think about it!"
Is Cao Jun doomed to fail in this battle?
Fortunately, he didn't hate these three brothers at first.
Tao Qian's letter for help came just in time.
There's a problem with the food channel!
In Youzhou, Gongsun Zan gradually became more powerful, and Liu Yu was already old, so he could not suppress Gongsun Zan after all.
If this delay continues, the 200,000-strong army may be trapped here.
The grain and grass that were originally expected to be delivered in three days were put on hold until an unknown time.
Xi Yu asked Xun Yu casually, and the latter naturally understood what the other party meant, and casually found the map and handed it to Xi Yu.
Liu Bei was also a little helpless. After he helped Kong Rong, he was feared by the other party and was stationed in a small place.
Xuzhou, Linyi County!
A few days ago, the heavy rain for several days in a row dampened the high spirits of Cao Cao and others in an instant.
It won't be long before the entire Youzhou will probably become Gongsun Zan's subordinate.
Xun Yu had a headache. How could he encounter such weather?
"Tao Shijun is so polite!"
If you keep living in that small area, when will you be able to stand out?
He also doesn't want to be controlled by others.
Xi Yu, who understood this, couldn't help but frown.
Xun Yu shook his head subconsciously.
This matter cannot be delayed.
Tao Qian held Liu Bei's hand with enthusiasm, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo.
This aspect is even more time-consuming than the land route.
Although the land route can handle it, it will snow soon, and if this continues, food and grass will naturally not be transported.
And now, as his policies unfold in these towns.
But now Xuzhou is attacked by Cao Cao, and the princes from all over the country have no help. Unexpectedly, the first one to come is Liu Bei.
Could it be said that this is destiny?
If the food conquest fails, and you want to conquer Xuzhou again, you will have to wait for more time.
"Is there something wrong with the food channel?"
The food and grass that can currently be supplied to Cao's army cannot last more than five days!
According to the news in the military newspaper, the rain in the rear has not stopped yet, and the nearby river channel has been washed away. The entire grain channel has now become a vast ocean!
With this kind of effort, he can’t even rest and reorganize the grain road!
As for Liu Bei, he was naturally unwilling to argue with Gongsun Zan.
On the other hand, this time Tao Qian's letter just happened to solve his dilemma at that time.
The original records of the historical grain road are no longer important.
Liu Bei has a good reputation, and he needs someone like this to appear in front of him right now.
Cao Jun never affected the people of Xuzhou at all, unless he forcibly confiscated grain and grass from more than a dozen towns!
There is nothing wrong with doing this, it is what all the princes in the world do.
Although rivers can also be transported.
In the original history, when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, there seemed to be no problems with food supply.
Not only was Cao Cao anxious, but Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, who were looking like the other two, were also feeling numb!
Ten days ago.
To be precise, there is only one grain road from Yanzhou to Xuzhou.
If Cao Cao and others do not retreat by then, they may be dragged down by Tao Qian and others in Xuzhou.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to Liu Bei.
Whether he can show his ambition depends on his own ability.
But now it is approaching winter, and it will not be long before the river surface freezes, and ships will naturally be unable to move forward.
At present, Cao's army has plenty of food and grass. If this expedition fails due to transportation reasons, it will be somewhat of a blow to Yanzhou.
"I have long heard that Xuande is righteous, but I never thought that the only person in the world who can help me is Liu Bei!"
However, after doing this, everything they have done before may be in vain!
On the other hand, the original Cao army was not like it is now, conquering one place and governing the other.
…
Leaving that place, Liu Bei can be considered as a fish in a vast ocean.
However, later, after Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and Liu Bei's three brothers defeated Lu Bu, and became famous all over the world, Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei differently.
With the current food and grass issue, if we delay for one day, it will be a difficult day ahead.
Of course, in history, Cao's army had problems with food and grass.
On the one hand, Liu Bei himself had good intentions and helped Xuzhou and he was happy to help.
At this moment, in the county government office, Cao Cao was looking at the military report in front of him with a frown and a worried face.
The big man is now in decline, and he also wants to make a career.
Of course, everything has changed now.
Xi Yu turned over the slips in his hand and was a little surprised.
the other side.
However, the news in the rear military newspaper made Cao Cao somewhat unhappy.
Although they captured more than a dozen towns in a row, Cao's army was as powerful as a rainbow.
Xun Yu had already thought that Cao Jun would have no choice but to retreat.
"Is there a topographic map between the two places within the government office?"
Instead, they directly captured more than ten towns in one go. The reason for this was naturally because of the shortage of food and grass, so they were forced to speed up the attack.
Although he was not far from Gongsun Zan, he did not want to rely on Gongsun Zan.
“The reason why we are here to help is for the sake of Xuzhou’s great cause!”
Although Liu Bei only led less than 3,000 troops this time!
But the other party came to help, and for Tao Qian, it was a hit in his heart.
The so-called hit it off, the best of both worlds.
In the main hall, Tao Qian warmly entertained Liu Bei, and soon after, the two began to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.
At this time, Cao Cao was coming with great force.
The only thing that Liu Bei didn't expect was that he originally thought that Cao Jun's attack on Xuzhou would inevitably lead to the destruction of the people.
However, the situation we know before us seems to be a little different!
