Chapter 220 Feng Qiuhuang(1/2)

(Repeat the chapter, modify it after 10 minutes)

Although Chen Gong was full of anger, it was useless after Lu Bu attacked the wealthy families in the country in order to solve the confusion of food.

He could understand that just by doing this, he would inevitably force many powerful families in Yanzhou to rebel.

As expected, you really come whatever you want.

After the incident, perhaps because of Lu Bu's indifference and betrayal of the rich, the Li family, a prominent Yanzhou clan, joined Cao Cao under the leadership of Li Dian.

And to highlight the unique contribution of Li's family.

Li Dian also took out tens of stones of military rations from the clan and presented them to Cao Cao.

The food and grass supply at this time is like a timely help!

Originally, most of the military rations obtained by Cao Cao's troops to attack Lu were derived from the insulting strategies adopted by Cheng Yu, who secretly used his old friends from his hometown Dong'a to make human char siu buns, mixed with military rations to serve as military rations.

But even if human flesh and military rations can solve the temporary urgent problem, it is not a long-term solution after all!

Over time, it is still extremely easy to be exposed.

Now that we can get aid from tens of thousands of stones of food and grass, it is tantamount to helping us from the poorest times. This kind of kindness is so important to Cao Cao's heart.

At this point, Cao Cao even valued the Li clan even more.

Because Lu Bu personally marched to Chengshi in the previous period, he was defeated and left under the leadership of Li Jin, a clan of Li family, and Cao Cao cherished Li Jin's talent and wanted to call him to listen to him.

But Li Jin was tantamount to his intentions in his career, so he politely declined.

In response to this, with the help of Li Dian's powerful bag, Cao Cao was not angry with Li Jin's ignorance of his ignorance. Instead, he promoted Li Dian's father, Li Qian, to join his troops to station in Juye County to prevent the invasion of the Lu army on the flanks.

After Li first threw an olive branch to Cao Cao, this seemed to have made the chaos in Yanzhou a beginning and a breakthrough.

Then many wealthy families responded to the Li family and rebelled against Cao Cao.

The power of the Lu Bu army was greatly weakened as a result.

After this incident, Lu Bu's situation became even more and more difficult to obtain, and the supply that was difficult to obtain became worse. Under such circumstances, the difficulty coefficient of Lu Bu's recruitment of food and grass has increased several times.

In desperation, he had to increase the burdens of labor and taxes on the scholars and the people.

However, under the influence of natural disasters such as locust plagues, the people of Yanzhou counties have long been deeply affected, and the remaining food at home has been consumed with very little left.

Now facing the plunder of Lu Bu's army as if it was plundering the land, the people of Yanzhou have almost completely despaired by this world, and even gradually began to rebound.

Groups of people who were not covered by food began to gather and rebel.

At first, it was just a small-scale clash of people gathering together to kill the soldiers of the Lu army near the city and steal the weapons from their hands.

As such contradictions naturally intensified, it also aroused the increasingly fierce anger among the people.

The scale of the rebellion riots has also increased one by one, from the initial hundred and ten people to hundreds and more than a thousand.

even……

The rebels' scale and power expanded rapidly.

When Cao Cao learned about this situation, he couldn't help but smile and said to everyone under his command:

"Everyone, now that the unscheming Lu Bu destroyed his future and successively attacked the scholars and the people without reason, has triggered the bottom line and rebound between the people."

"Qian thanks Xuande!"

In the last words, Tao Qian even gave Liu Bei a solemn saying.

Facing the old man's last words before his death, Liu Bei was also very sad. He had no other thoughts at this time, and was moved by Tao Qian's kindness. When facing his request, he said without hesitation:

"Please rest assured that you will treat your two sons with meticulous care and will not treat them badly."

After seeing Liu Bei make an extremely solemn promise.

Tao Qian just showed a smile with relief at the last moment.

Immediately, Tao Qian left peacefully with a strong smile.

In late March of the spring of the second year of Xingping (195).

Tao Qian, who is the governor of Xuzhou and the lord of Xuzhou, died of his old age.

On his dying day, he once again let Xuzhou Yu Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei presided over the affairs of the provincial and ministerial affairs and held a grand funeral for Tao Qian.

Liu Bei had just returned to Xiaopei's garrison.

Until this time, with the unanimous support of Xuzhou, Chen Deng, Chen from Xia Pi and others, they jointly elected the governor of Yuzhou Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou.

It also followed the benevolent government implemented by Liu Bei stationed in Pei State for nearly half a year.

The scholars and people in the prefectures and counties fell in love with him.

even……

All the scholars and people in Xuzhou also felt respect for Liu Bei.

They also gathered in front of the provincial governor's mansion for a time, crying and begging to welcome Liu Bei to succeed as the lord of Xuzhou.

In the situation where all the gentry and people in Xuzhou were fully satisfied, Liu Bei easily replaced Tao Qian as the next Xuzhou governor.

Become the new generation of the Lord of Xuzhou.

After Liu Bei succeeded, he also integrated the troops in the prefectures and counties as soon as possible, and eliminated the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. Then he ordered Guan Yu to command the army and conducted very rigorous training every day.

He knew that during the period of Tao Qian's governance, Xuzhou had always been known for its darkness.

Because Tao Qian pays too much attention to the governance of internal affairs, he ignores the development of military strength.

Therefore, it will attract the covetousness of the surrounding heroes like hungry wolves.

This is also the first thing Liu Bei did after taking over was to reform the military system.

Because he was able to own Xuzhou, he was also inseparable from the strong support of the Chen family and Mi family.

Therefore, after taking over Xuzhou, Liu Bei continued to appoint Mi Zhu as a distinguished master of Xuzhou and introduced Chen Deng as a guest of honor. If there is something that cannot be decided, he will also ask him.

When the news of Xuzhou returning to Liu came out, it was shocking the world.

First of all, the news spread to Yanzhou.

When Cao Cao, who was living in Dingtao and Lu Bu's army, heard that Liu Bei, who was not well-known, easily obtained the entire Xuzhou land without any effort, had a sharp look on his face.

He seemed to have made a decision and wanted to send the masses to fight again.

It was Xun Yu who had learned about Cao Cao’s thoughts in advance and couldn’t help but speak out:

"Does the lord seem to be enterprising Xuzhou?"

Upon hearing this, looking at Xun Yu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through the secrets of heaven, Cao Cao couldn't help but reply truthfully:

"Only if you can see my thoughts thoroughly."

"I heard that Liu Bei was just a child who weaved mats and shoes. How could he manage to gain the entire Xuzhou without any effort?"

"I have decided to gather the strength of the entire army to fight again. This time I will definitely seize Xuzhou in one fell swoop."

After a word fell, Cao Cao also showed a fierce murderous intent.

Looking at Cao Cao's resentment, Xun Yu could naturally understand his feelings.

After all, Cao Cao personally ruled the main force twice and tried his best to conquer Xuzhou, but he was unable to annex it in one fell swoop.

But now Liu Bei easily obtained the entire Xuzhou by rescuing Tao Qian.

You can imagine how serious the gap is.

This is not a reason why Cao Cao wanted to advance the counties of Xuzhou with his anger.

But understanding is one thing. As a person with excellent overall strategic situation, how could Xun Yu sit idly by and watch Cao Cao make such a basic mistake?

After thinking slowly, Xun Yu couldn't help but say:

"Lord, Yanzhou is the foundation of our army. If we don't want to take it back, even if we gather all the troops to capture Xuzhou, we will still be like rootless duckweed and will not receive any feedback."

"In that case, even if you get Xuzhou, there will be no substantial profits."

With a word, Xun Yu gradually explained the disadvantages of taking Xuzhou first.

"Yu heard that Liu Bei was stationed in Pei State for more than half of the time, but he managed the territory in an orderly manner, so that all the people and the people could live and work in peace and contentment."

"He has implemented benevolent governments, which have made the people respect and love."

"It is now supported by the Xuzhou gentry and the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, so that we can quickly settle the lord of Xuzhou."

"If our army gathers the entire army now and fights against it, it will definitely not be the wisest move!"

One word goes down.

Xun Yu slowly explained the cause and effect interests in the meantime.

But there is one most important point that Xun Yu did not say anything about Cao Cao's face.

During the several times Cao Cao personally conquered Xuzhou in the previous campaign, he led all the people to massacre the scholars and people in Xuzhou, which made the people of Xuzhou fear and hatred for him!

At this time, Liu Bei was deeply loved by the people.
