Chapter 86 Wind and Rain Urgent Liu Wei's Headache

And Liu Yu is still very sober. He knows his nephew's nature. He just listened to Liu Su's words calmly. After Liu Su finished the endless scolding, Liu Wei frowned slightly and asked Liu Su, "Is Taishici really a big fish, meat, wine and delicacy, regardless of the life and death of ordinary people? Are you really refusing to pay for food and fodder?

"Uncle, yes! At that time, Tai Shici said arrogantly: Even if the grain is poured into the sea, it will not be handed over to the state government!" Liu Su responded with an angry expression.

Liu Yao's eyes darkened, and he took another look at the bodyguard who followed Liu Su. The guards nodded heavily to Liu Yu to show that what Liu Su said was true.

Liu Yao waved to Liu Su and motioned him to retreat. When Liu Suhan left with hatred, Liu Wei looked down at the map and fell into meditation: a big Qingzhou was complete when he took over. For more than a year, there is less than half of the area he actually controls now. At this time, Pingyuan County in the northern part of Qingzhou was actually controlled by the current lieutenant Liu Yu; most of the area of the rich Bohai County was controlled by Cao Cao, the other counties in Bohai County were controlled by local forces or the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army; the areas that Liu Yu really controlled were only Nantong County and Jiangbei County.

Liu Yu's strength was only 20,000 at this time, and more than half of them were soldiers from local rich clans. These soldiers were basically from the Fan family in Hengjiang County and the Zhang family in Dangli County. Without the support and funding of these rich clans, Liu Yao would not have a foothold at all.

At present, according to the detailed return: the Sun family in Jiangdong has secretly defected to Yuan Shu and become Yuan Shu's super hitman. Yuan Shu entered Huainan with the official hat of a second-grade general, and strongly oppressed the local rich clans by thunderous means: those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die.

After Yuan Shu led his army into Huainan County, even Lv Bu, who had always been above the top of his eyes, did not dare to neglect him. Although Lv Bu could not visit Yuan Shu in person, he paid tribute to Yuan Shu with many gold and silver treasures; like other Cao Cao in Gonzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and other princes sent a large amount of materials to Yuan Shu. And the Sun family in Jiangdong is even more powerful, directly dedicating the army and territory to Yuan Shu.

According to the latest and most confidential information detected in detail: Yuan Shu has authorized the Sun Group to suppress bandits and robbers around Huainan by force. Yuan Shu provided food, fodder and military supplies, and the Sun Group sent troops to contribute. In this way, the Sun Group, which had been staring at the southern part of Qingzhou, began to plan a war against Liu You.

Compared with Liu Yao's side: Sun's Group is much stronger. After all, Sun Ce, the leader of Sun's Group, is a super fierce general in the innate realm, and Sun Ce's good generals and counselors are also several times more than Liu Yao's. If it is a field battle, Liu Wei's side against the Sun Group has no chance of winning. In the face of the aggressive pressure of the Sun Group, Liu Wei's side can only rely on the city to carry out defensive warfare, consume the enemy's troops through defensive warfare, so that the enemy knows the difficulties and retreats without success...

In the face of the upcoming defensive war, Liu Yao has to hoard a large amount of grain and fodder and military supplies, so in the unharvest winter, Liu Wei also ordered all places to hand over grain and fodder. To Liu Yu's disappointment, the result of the collection of grain and fodder was thunder and rain. In such a predicament, he can only rely on the local clan.

Liu Yu also has a realistic foundation for cooperation and alliances with the local clans and rich families: Liu Yu has a noble status, is a fake royal clan and a herdsman of a state; local rich clans, such as the Fan and Zhang, have a sworn hatred with the Jiangdong Sun clan. As an upstart and a rising star, the Jiangdong Sun clan slaughtered many old rich clans in the process of rising, and the relationship between the old rich clans was complicated. Invisibly, the Sun group offended many rich clans outside the jurisdiction. For example, the Fan family in Hengjiang County, the Zhang family in Dangli County, and so on.

These families just want to use Liu Yao's prestige and status to suppress the rise and expansion of the Sun Group, wait for the opportunity to destroy the Sun Group and take revenge. Liu Yao is determined to protect his interests and prevent the Sun Group from touching Qingzhou. In order to resist the unrestrained expansion of the Sun Group, he must use the power of these families. .

As a result, these rich clans cooperated closely with Liu Yu and became a grasshopper on a rope, forming a fish-water relationship that is inseparable from the balance.

Such a disadvantage also made Liu Yao have no time to ask Tai Shici whether he was the local emperor mentioned by his nephew Liu Su. He knew that as long as Tai Shici did not openly rebel. This is Liu Yu's bottom line.

Yuan Shu's strong airborne landing in Huainan County has had a great impact on all forces. This mixed area where all kinds of princes coexist, due to Yuan Shu's influence, began to reshuffle and formulate countermeasures that they thought were correct. Among them, the most eye-catching performance of Jiangdong Sun and Gunzhou Cao Cao: Jiangdong Sun took the initiative to surrender, while Cao Cao sent people to secretly spread a folk song at the bottom of Huainan County: the generation of the Han Dynasty, Tu Gaoye!

Tu Gao is Yuan Shu's nickname. Only Cao Cao, who grew up with Yuan Shu, naturally knows this secret. Under the concept of retreating as progress and wanting to be weak first, and under the condition of fully understanding Yuan Shu's temperament and mind, Guo Jia formulated a strategy specifically for Cao Cao.

The princes of all parties took the initiative to show their goodwill to Yuan Shu, and the Sun family in Jiangdong took the initiative to surrender, and there was a folk song this time. Yuan Shu really felt that "trees move to death, people moved to life". He immediately left Chang'an City and Yuan Shao's control at the beginning, and felt that he was too wise and magical. When I was a child, my dream was about to come true step by step: at that time, many friends played games together. Every time they played the game of officials kneeling down to the emperor, Yuan Shu was to dress up the emperor...

The seeds of this game have long taken root in the depths of Yuan Shu's heart, but now it is about to sprout and thrive! Under this mentality, of course, Yuan Shu should first understand the nearby imperial power, such as Liu Yao and Liu Bei, all of them in the blacklist that he first eliminated. Therefore, Yuan Shu's mind and Jiang Dong Sun's request are in a perfect and incredible match...

An upcoming war is brewing at the junction of Yangzhou and Qingzhou, ready to move... Just like the hearts of boys and girls who are in love, they can't resist it...

All the tangible and intangible changes that have taken place in the hinterland of the Central Plains have been carefully collected by the members of the Ma Gang or in various ways and conveyed to Tai Shici's table in time. Bo just finished reading these secret letters and sighed while burning them, "Yuan Shu is really fierce. He really takes himself seriously. On the surface, the Yuan brothers controlled the situation in the Central Plains. In fact, this situation is just a powerful thing to accelerate their demise... Ha ha, Yuan Shu can hold on for five years, and he has the ability! As for Yuan Shao, at most ten years..."

When everyone heard the words, they either fell into meditation or nod with a smile on their faces. Today, the fuel problem that plagues Taishici has been solved. All the people have learned to correctly use black stone fragments to make fires for cooking and heating. Under the planning of Bocai, people consciously organized transportation teams to dig black stones in Zaoshan to be self-sufficient.

And the food problem is still a problem. Tai Shici caressed the silver sculpture curled up beside him and looked at the map attentively. Others talked, laughed and chatted.

Suddenly, Yan Yun's guard picked up the curtain and came in. With a cold wind blowing into the tent, a businessman followed Yan Yun's guard into the tent.

Xi Zuo had never seen Gao Shun, Sulman and others before. He looked at Tai Shici and Bo Cai with hesitation and flickering. Tai Shici smiled and said to him, "Brother, we are all our own people. If you have any information, please report it!"

Hearing Tai Shici's words, he relaxed and bowed his hand to Tai Shici and said, "General, our brother who planted in Cuihongju, Pingyuan County, recently found a piece of news: Liu Yu, a lieutenant living in Youzhou, sent a messenger to Pingyuan County to collect food and fodder again, and received a positive and enthusiastic response from the local rich clan..."

After listening to the detailed report, Taishi Cibocai and others rewarded him with some property and let him retreat on his own. Through the detailed report, Tai Shici and others obtained several important information: first, Lieutenant Liu Yu actually recruited new soldiers in winter. Second, Liu Yu scraped three feet of land in Pingyuan County and collected food and fodder. The local rich clans actually responded positively and enthusiastically. Third, in the near future, Liu Yu would have a real knife and a real gun to deal with Gongsun Zan.

Tai Shici asked everyone how to deal with this matter with his eyes. Others were still very calm. Only after Gao Shun heard the detailed report, his face was always calm and calm: when the food and grass in Donglai County began to be scarce, Gao Shun took people to Pingyuan County to buy grain at a high price, and no one paid attention to him. In a word, the local rich clan automatically paid for food and grass, which was so clear. In contrast, how can Gao Shun not be angry about such an unfair and bad thing?

At this time, Gao Shun met Taishi Ci's eyes and clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, "General Taishi, since the rich clan in Pingyuan County is so humble, we have to rob!"

Surman and Yu Da, who were accustomed to bandits, looked at Gao Shun with surprise, while Bo Cai, who was born in the rebels, stared at Gao Shun with a smile. If they say this kind of words, it will be in line with common sense, and the kind-hearted Gao Shun said this, which was a little unexpected.

Gao Shun also felt the strange reactions of others. He thought about it and had the same reason. He explained to everyone with a hoarse smile, "Brother Bo Cai, Sulman, Yu Da, do you think my idea is a little too much? Ha ha, you are only allowed to correct evil, but not me to correct evil? ...General Taishi, I'm also anxious. We are diligent and thrifty. The grain and fodder in the barracks are still scarce, and ordinary people also suffer with us... If we can't get the food and fodder through the right channels, we can only grab it! Well, now I also deeply understand why Yuda and Surman killed people, set fire and looted..."

After being with Taishi Ciyu and others for a long time, Gao Shun is not as pedantic as he used to be. Of course, for the training of subordinates, strict military discipline, Gao Shun is more strict.

Taishi Ci nodded to Gao Shun with a smile, and then said loudly, "Guys, nothing big has happened recently. Please bother Sulman and Gao Shun to follow Ben to Pingyuan County!" Brother Bo Cai, Yu Da, please bother with the affairs of the county..."

"Ouch!" Everyone answered in unison.

After that, Sulman and Gao Shun walked out of the camp and went to the school's military field to transfer troops. The gathering of troops in the barracks is carried out by beating drums: in general, the continuous fast drums are the gathering of cavalry, and the slow drums are the gathering of infantry and other special arms. The rapid drums resounded throughout the camp. Under the call of the gathering of drums, the cavalry that were being trained gathered to the center of the school's military field at the fastest speed.
