Chapter 1533 : Chapter Seven hundred and seventy-one: Backhand (1)
Chapter 771 Backhand
The belly of Dongfang fish turned white, it was still very early, but there was movement in Cao Jun's camp.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Amidst the melodious sound of trumpets, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun and other generals each led 50,000 elite troops, began to break out of camp and dispersed in four directions.
He was so aggressive that he planned to completely destroy the Han Dynasty's finances in the coming year.[
The battle between the Han Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty was a life-or-death battle for both countries. Before the war, both sides deployed countless spies.
As soon as Cao Jun moved, the news immediately spread to Xudu.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly. If it were a normal time, there should be an endless stream of people at this time, but at this moment, the city gates of Xudu were closed.
Countless soldiers stood at the top of the city, patrolling the camp in high spirits.
The city was also in a state of solemnity, with no people lingering on the streets. In contrast, the guards at the palace were more ordinary. Last night, a celebration banquet was just held, and the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the side hall of the palace was a bit solemn.
Liu Xie knelt on the throne, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, for the news that the spies had just reported. Under the throne, kneeling were Sikong Fuwan, Situ Xunyu, Shangshu Ling Jiang Wan, and the king's general Liu Feng.
Four people were summoned to discuss this matter.
"Cao Cao did not attack the city first, but chose to attack from all sides. I am afraid, just like last time, he will destroy the fertile farmland of the Han Dynasty and put the Han Dynasty into a difficult situation. What should we do?" Liu Xie held the bamboo slips, some
said anxiously.
The last time Cao Cao sent cavalry to plunder all over Yuzhou, causing many casualties and countless grain losses. Although Dong Cheng later attacked, he first killed Xiahou Deng and then rampaged across the Central Plains in retaliation.
But what was lost was what was lost and could not be made up for. Afterwards, he had to appease the people and transported a large amount of grain reserves from Jingzhou. At the same time, Liu Feng had to feed the Han soldiers and more troops, forge Liannu, Modao,
He spent countless amounts of gold, silver and food on armor, which led to financial difficulties and he could barely survive.
If it weren't for the critical moment, Yang Biao led the merchants to drive up prices, intending to cause riots and regain power. Instead, Liu Feng brutally killed many merchants and annexed many goods, gold and silver. In addition, Mi Zhu was the young man to deal with it.
.I’m afraid the Han Dynasty has long been in chaos.
There would be no more Han warriors, and naturally there would be no more recent Han warriors defeating the Cao and Wei cavalry.
Liu Xie really doesn't want to experience the situation of tightening his belt and living a life again. Moreover, this time the situation may be more serious than the last time.
If Cao Cao destroys it for two days, it means that hundreds of thousands of people in Yuzhou will have no harvest. From this year to next autumn harvest, the court will be responsible for feeding them.
Last time in Jingzhou, Hanzhong was rich and provided food. However, a large amount of stored food was already consumed. If there is another chaos this time, it may be difficult to provide relief.
Not only is the imperial government in trouble, but Yuzhou may also be in trouble. This move is really powerful.
Liu Xie was impatient, and Fu Wan, Xun Yu, Jiang Wan and other three important officials in the court were also not calm. Of course, they also knew what the consequences would be if Cao Cao sabotaged it.
It's just like last time, they don't have much to do.[
Yuzhou is flat and there is no danger to defend. Cao Cao's elite horse and infantry troops are rampant across the world. Once their army leaves the city, they will become a target. How can they resist?
