"After they provided money and food, the prime minister immediately ordered Yuan Shao to lead his troops to pacify Yu Du in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shu pacified Liu Pi and others in Yuzhou! With the prime minister sitting in Yanzhou, he was not afraid of Bai Rao and others, but Xuzhou should let him

Who will provide support and let Zhennan send Liu Bei to lead the army?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister, it would be best for General Zhennan to be in Nanyang County. Yuzhou is Yuan Shu's hometown after all. If General Zhennan hadn't suppressed him, I'm afraid Yuan Shu would have resurrected and it would be difficult for him to be checked by the Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Wen He is right. Yuan Shu is a lawless boy who dares to attack even the palace. Yuzhou is his hometown and the officials are all disciples and former officials of the Yuan family. If Liu Bei had not suppressed him, he would definitely

It’s going to turn upside down!”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Xuzhou is easy to attack but difficult to defend. It is a flat river and is most suitable for cavalry operations. When the Yuan brothers destroy the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, the Prime Minister can punish a general to quell the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army!"

At this time Niu Fu shouted: "Prime Minister, the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou will be handed over to my son-in-law. My heavy cavalry charge is invincible in the world. Only 10,000 cavalry are enough to put down the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou!"

Niu Fu felt too depressed during this expedition. He originally thought it was the time when his heavy cavalry would become famous all over the world, but in the end, he defeated Bao Xin's 5,000 soldiers. They were all engaged in siege warfare, which made his heavy cavalry useless.

I thought that Yuan Shao would support Cao Cao and the others, and then he could use heavy cavalry to defeat Yuan Shao's headquarters and achieve unparalleled achievements. However, he did not expect that Yuan Shao was frightened and did not dare to come to Jujube!

The larger the size of his heavy cavalry enemy, the more powerful he can display in breaking through the formation, preferably like Zhang Yan's 300,000-strong army.

Li Jue was unwilling to give up and said: "My Flying Bear Army is also invincible. Prime Minister, if we attack the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou, just leave it to our Flying Bear Army! We will need ten thousand cavalry to defeat the refugees!"

After saying this, Li Jue shook his head, looking down on Niu Fu!

Niu Fu was immediately furious: "If you dare to attack my heavy cavalry with your tortoise shell, I will crush your tortoise shell!"

At this time, Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Why are you arguing? You are still worried that there will be no war. There are millions of Yellow Turbans waiting for you to kill. After killing all the Yellow Turbans, there are still hundreds of thousands of elite Tengjia troops waiting for you to kill! I'm afraid that by then

You dare not go out into battle!"

When Niu Fu and Li Jue saw Dong Zhuo's anger, they immediately knelt down and said, "Prime Minister, please forgive me!"

Dong Zhuo continued: "Whoever goes to fight has his own orders!"

Then Dong Zhuo continued: "The army will be repairing in Suanzao for a few days, and at the same time, we will order an expedition to Qingzhou! Yuan Shu will destroy the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou!"

Then Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "I heard that Yuan Shao bought tens of thousands of sets of iron armor from Lei Gong, and now they can be put to use!"

Guo Bang laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Shao is just a courageous gangster. No matter how good the equipment is, it will be a waste in his hands!"

Other Dong Zhuo's subordinates also laughed. They were worried for a while when these weapons came into Yuan Shao's hands, but soon they discovered that Yuan Shao did not dare to fight at all, and now his uncle Yuan Wei ordered him to fight without fighting.

In the eyes of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, Yuan Shao was a coward, and no matter how good the weapon was, it was useless.

Hanoi, Hoai Thanh!

At this time, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was heavy, and Yuan Shao himself looked even more desperate. Yuan Shu was defeated in Luyang, and Cao Cao and the others were defeated in Suanzao. The entire alliance against Dong was completely defeated, and his leader was even more of a joke. He was defeated without even a single battle.

Got it!

But most of the counselors around Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were defeated, Yuan Wei had already negotiated with Dong Zhuo. As long as they succeeded in defeating Yu Du, they could be punished and make meritorious service. The family's reputation was saved, and they were not considered to be powerful men.

Rebellion, this is the best outcome for them.

At this time, Xu You felt that as Yuan Shao's number one adviser, he should say something to comfort everyone. He thought about it and said: "Our defeat this time was not due to war crimes, but because the Yellow Turban army grew bigger and disrupted our situation."

It is the rear that allows us to remain undefeated and defeated."

Xu You thinks this word is used well!

Others also said: "Zi Yuan is right, we are defeated without defeat!"

"Yes! If it weren't for these Yellow Turbans causing trouble, we would have defeated Dong Zhuo long ago!"

A group of people wanted to use this method to comfort Yuan Shao!

But Yuan Shao showed no expression at all, because he knew that the performance of Dong Dong Alliance this time was too poor. His reputation and his future were all over! It was something that he could not accept for a while!

Xu You understood Yuan Shao's thoughts and said: "We have only one way to restore our reputation now, which is to completely wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. Let the scholars all over the world see our strength!"

Feng Ji said worriedly: "It is said that the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has millions of people, but we have less than 50,000 people. I'm afraid we are no match for Yu Du!"

But at this time, Yuan Shao said resolutely: "This battle is inevitable, otherwise we will be ridiculed by the world, and we will be infamy for thousands of years!"

Just kidding! It doesn't matter if you can't defeat Dong Zhuo. If you don't even dare to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves anymore, they will become the laughing stock of the world.

Gou Kan said: "Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has millions of people, the number of young men and women cannot exceed 300,000, and the Yellow Turban Army's elite number is probably only a few thousand. As long as we don't make mistakes, our strength is enough to compete with Yu Du and them."

war!"

Jushou said solemnly: "Our journey is not going to be easy. The Yellow Turban Army of Yanzhou is now south of the Yellow River. Bairao's tribe also exceeds 300,000, including tens of thousands of young and strong people. They are at the junction of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Although the Taishan thief Zang Ba is attacking Xuzhou, if Bairao is attacked by us, Zang Ba may not be able to support Bairao. Moreover, Yu Du from Qingzhou may also go west to support Yu Du. Then we will face

It is not a waste of 300,000 people, but a Yellow Turban coalition of 2 million people."

After being reminded by Ju Shou, they realized that the road to Qingzhou to suppress the rebellion was not easy. They wanted to fight all the way to Qingzhou!

Guo Tudao: "The speed of the attack is the key. We must completely defeat Bai Rao before they ask for help. We cannot fight a protracted war!"

Yuan Shao said firmly: "The army is marching towards Taishan County!"

Yuzhou, Yingchuan County!

Yuan Shu and the others also received a letter from Yuan Huai admitting failure and asked him to follow Dong Zhuo's order to exterminate the Yellow Turban bandits in Yuzhou!

Sun Jian, Li Ye, Xun Zheng, Yang Hong, and Kong Min all looked ugly. Their 100,000-strong army was defeated by Liu Bei with less than 40,000. It could be said that they were completely defeated.

Sun Jian said angrily: "Gateway, you are going to surrender like this and let the world laugh at you!"

Sun Jian's soldiers were wiped out by Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei has become the shepherd of Jingzhou. He, the governor of Changsha, cannot even return to Changsha. If he surrenders to Dong Zhuo like this, he will really become a lost dog.

As an envoy of the imperial court, Yuan Ji said angrily: "Not to mention the things that can and cannot be fought, the current situation in Yuzhou, the highway, you want to give up even the family! It is not easy for adults to help you.

If you continue to rebel, Dong Zhuo may not let you go in Luoyang City. You want to drag down the Yuan family to death!"

Yuan Ji has been unlucky for eight lifetimes. He was once a good nine ministers of the court, but now he is gone, and was thrown to Liu Bei by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo obviously wanted to use him to deal with Yuan Shu! If Liu Bei didn't disdain to use such

The situation will be even more miserable.

After Yuan Huai made peace with Dong Zhuo, he immediately volunteered and was willing to be the imperial envoy to persuade Yuan Shu to surrender.

Kong Min also followed up and said: "Gongdao, please obey the order of Taifu. Now the whole Yuzhou is in constant war. There is no way to help us provide soldiers and food and grass. The soldiers in the army have no morale. They are all worried about their hometown."

Occupied by the Yellow Turban thieves, we can’t fight anymore!”

Although Li Ye and others did not speak, they still meant this. If the situation continues, they will undoubtedly be defeated. By then, the only military strength in Yuzhou will be exhausted, and their family may be massacred by the Yellow Turban bandits.

News of the Yellow Turban Army's division of land has reached here. For Li Ye and others, the war with Dong Zhuo was just a disagreement within the court. Dong Zhuo could not and did not have the ability to kill all their families, but the Yellow Turban thieves

But they are already killing their families and dividing their fields. These are sworn enemies!

It was because the Yellow Turban Army killed nobles and nobles and divided their lands that touched the nerves of the Kanto clan, so they were willing to let Dong Zhuo, a warrior from Xiliang, take power, and they also wanted to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains first!

Yuan Shu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou!"

The person Yuan Shu feels most sorry for now is his good brother Sun Jian. He was originally serving as the governor of Changsha County, but he called him to conquer the world, but now he has to abandon him. Even though Yuan Shu is thick-skinned, he still feels embarrassed!

So he said to Sun Jian: "Wentai, just stay here and help me. We two brothers will conquer the world together!"

What else could Sun Jian do? He could only stay by Yuan Shu's side and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback!

In June of the first year of Chuping (AD 190), the entire Bingzhou entered the winter wheat harvest season. The Tengjia Army, from Xu Wei to the lowest level members, attached great importance to the summer harvest. Everyone also went to the fields to help with the harvest. This was also the reason why Tengjia Army

It’s an old tradition of the Jia Army,

And Xu Wei came to Mayi at this time, because Mayi is the most important granary of the Tengjia Army, and the grain harvest here can determine the grain output of the entire Bingzhou!

Xu Wei kept harvesting under the scorching sun. This was also an old tradition of the Tengjia Army. He was embarrassed to watch everyone working hard and stood on the field ridge, so he joined the labor force.

"It's time to eat!" Zhang Ning and the others also brought lunch and shouted to everyone.

When everyone saw the person delivering lunch coming, they walked out of the field and hid under the shade of the trees to eat and rest together! The aroma instantly filled the entire countryside, and everyone ate very happily!

Zhang Ning looked at the sweaty Xu Wei and said distressedly: "You are now the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of Tengjia troops. What you have to do is big things. Just leave the harvesting to the people below!"

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Our Tengjia Army pays great attention to physical practice. As the leader, I will take the lead, and other people will follow. Only then will the subordinates at the bottom be more efficient. And only by appearing on the front line can we better control the food."

It’s not like you don’t know the situation in Dahan now. A large number of disaster victims enter our Bingzhou every month. If there is a problem with our food, many people will die!"

Old man Wang on the side laughed and said: "For our Tengjia Army, harvesting food is a big deal now!"

Then he looked at the wheat not far away and said with a smile: "Struvite is really a good thing. With it, our grain output in Mayi is getting higher and higher. In the fields harvested by the old man, the yield of several acres has reached 6

The remaining yield per mu is only 5 and a half dan. This is a yield that no old man dared to imagine before. One acre of land is equivalent to the yield of two acres of farmland, and there is no need to leave it fallow. This is simply a miracle!"

Old man Wang has been planting fields for decades. He can estimate the grain yield just by looking at the fullness of the wheat. That's why he smiles so happily. Mayi's winter wheat yield should exceed 30 million shi. If you add

The grain output of spring wheat this year in Mayi should be about 60 million to 70 million shi. The grain output of the entire Bingzhou is close to 200 million shi. He finally doesn't have to worry about Bingzhou being eaten up by the victims!

Zhang Ning was surprised and said: "With 200 million stones, the land in Jizhou will not have such a high yield. Uncle, have you made a miscalculation?"

Old Man Wang said confidently: "Of course the calculation is not wrong. Although Jizhou is the granary of the Han Dynasty, the land is also fertile! But the officials in Jizhou don't do anything. They don't know how to repair water conservancy, they don't know how to build waterwheels, and they don't know how to plant soybeans to fertilize the land.

, let alone know how to use struvite to fertilize the land.”

"These officials of the Han Dynasty are like trash. They only know how to write something about attaching importance to farmland in their memorials, but they don't go to the fields at all, don't build water conservancy facilities, and don't understand agricultural techniques to increase production. It seems that they can learn about food after reading a book.

A good harvest!”

"In Jizhou, there are about 20% acres of fields with a yield of three stones. It is these fields that have made Jizhou the granary of the Han Dynasty! In Bingzhou, because of the newly built water conservancy, the fields are basically irrigated, and there are also struvites.

Waiting for technology to increase production, millions of us worked hard to build canals, work hard to manufacture various advanced agricultural tools, and use various advanced production-increasing technologies, so that we can have the current bumper grain harvest."

"If the officials in Jizhou do nothing and the grain output can exceed that of Bingzhou, then the sweat of the millions of people in our Tengjia Army and the tens of billions of money will be in vain!"
