The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 17 Yanzhou Pingding
"My lord, for today's plan, I will go eastward, take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack with all my might, defeat the remaining Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, and pacify Yanzhou!"

In the big tent, Xi Zhicai handed over his hands and gave advice.

During this period of time, Xun Yu was handling government affairs in the rear, and most of Cao Jun's battles in the Yellow Turbans were made by Xi Zhicai who later appointed the strategy and military strategy.

As he spoke, all the Cao Ying generals nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao laughed.

"Okay, what Zhicai said is right. There are too many changes in the world today, and we can't wait too long to calm down Yanzhou!"

"This time, it's a battle and it's a battle!"

In the past half a year, Cao Jun and the Yellow Turban fought repeatedly, with more victories and fewer losses.

Today, the morale of the entire Cao army is booming, and on the other side of the Yellow Turban, because of the autumn harvest and other reasons, the Yellow Turban at this time has completely become the end of its strength.

After the strategy was finalized, Cao Cao planned to take the initiative to lead the army eastward, and he led a group of generals with Xi Zhicai to pursue the Yellow Turban.

Xi Yu naturally stayed. As Cao Cao's boss, it was not until recently that he was able to handle some official duties.

It's just that these official duties are not many, and they are easy to handle.

Xun Yu sits in the rear and coordinates the food and grass.

In the next few days, Xi Yu's life still did not change much.

Until, more than ten days later, the news of Cao Jun's victory over the Yellow Turban came back.

As in the historical situation, at the end of September, Cao Cao led the army to defeat the remaining main force of the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

After this battle, the entire Yanzhou was completely pacified.

And Cao Cao also unknowingly gathered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans during the Yellow Turban War in the past six months.

Even in the last battle, 30 Yellow Turban soldiers were gathered in one breath.

At this moment, Cao Cao already has 40 troops in Yanzhou.

After half a year of fighting, Cao Cao became rich in one breath.

After collecting more than 30 yellow scarves, even the soldiers of the entire Yanzhou began to change their attitude towards Cao Cao.

Immediately afterwards, in a short period of time, there were not a few people who came to serve Cao Cao.

end of september.

Cao Cao led the army back, and the 40 army is of course a happy event for Cao Cao.

However, a more troublesome thing followed in his mind.

food!

He just annexed more than 30 Yellow Turbans in one go, but he ignored the most important point.

That is food.

The yellow scarves that the Yellow Turban Army could not afford before, even though he has cut some, but now, there are still more than 30 soldiers.

Cao Cao was naturally reluctant to part with these people.

However, even if the autumn harvest is bumper today, the food and grass to supply the 40 army may not last long.

After this winter, if there is no source of food and grass, it may take less than a year for the more than 30 yellow scarves to collapse.

Even, even taking him with him would drag him down.

For more than a month, Cao Cao almost couldn't sleep.

Seeing that time has entered the cold winter from late autumn, with the consumption of 40 soldiers, food has also begun to become less and less.

Changyi, inside Cao Cao's mansion.

With the advent of deep winter, the weather looks like it will snow soon.

Cao Cao was even more worried.

In the back hall, Cao Cao, who was roasting by the stove, couldn't help but sighed.

"Wen Ruo, how long will our army be able to supply the food and grass right now?"

Following Cao Cao's question, Xun Yu who was sitting beside him raised his head.

"Returning to my lord, our army's food and grass can probably last until April next year!"

This is Xun Yu's careful compression and statistics.

Not only the 40 troops in Yanzhou have to eat, but also the families of these soldiers, etc., the consumption of food and grass is naturally extremely fast.

"April!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, can he only last until April?
Even if the plants are planted in winter and spring, there will still be a few months before the harvest, and it will be too late.

It's too late!
Of course, there should be no delay in the matter of spring planting.

He subconsciously glanced at the opera brothers next to him.

There are only the four of them in the entire back hall now, and Xi Yu, as Cao Cao's chief counselor, is naturally present.

Xi Zhicai frowned, the lack of food was obvious.

Moreover, what Xun Yu calculated was the reduction in training of these soldiers!

However, how can the training of soldiers be reduced.

Nowadays, the pattern of the world is changing, and if you are not careful, you may be attacked by foreign enemies.

The pacification of Yanzhou is only the first step of the plan, and the next step is to start development.

At this time, it is natural not to let the grain and grass get off the chain.

Xi Yu didn't say anything, he knew that Cao Cao in history had often asked his big brother Yuan Shao for food and grass.

Right now Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, next to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao lives here, and in Yuan Shao's view, Cao Cao is still his younger brother.

Of course, Yuan Shao would not do the matter of giving food and grass for free. Perhaps only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao knew what was wrong with it.

As soon as Xi Yu lowered his head to think, Cao Cao's eyes had already fallen on him.

"Fongyi, do you have a plan in mind?"

Cao Cao just asked casually, and didn't expect Xi Yu to give him any good answer.

However, upon hearing Cao Cao's question, Xi Yu subconsciously responded.

"My lord, not only Yanzhou has a bumper harvest this year, but the entire Dahan area, as long as there is spring plowing, most of them will have a bumper harvest!"

After years of disasters in a row, this year can be regarded as good weather.

"Yu heard that Jizhou is also having a bumper harvest!"

Today's Jizhou is the first state in the Han Dynasty. With this year's bumper harvest, there is no shortage of food in the entire Jizhou.

What's more, the current Yuan Shao is still standing behind the Hebei Zhen's family, and the other party is not short of food.

As soon as Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao froze for a moment.

Jizhou?
Yuan Shao?

In just a moment, Cao Cao understood that Xi Yu was asking him to ask Yuan Shao for food!
This matter is easy to handle.

The relationship between him and Yuan Shao is pretty good now, and his former governor of Dongjun County was also recommended by Yuan Shao.

"Haha, Fengyi has woken me up. I can ask Yuan Benchu ​​to borrow some food. I think he won't refuse."

"After that, I'm sending people to other states to buy some food, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"

After he figured it out, the depression accumulated in Cao Cao's heart dissipated a lot.

"Right now, it's time to start winter and spring plowing. What's your plan for this matter?"

It is not difficult to get food from Yuan Shao to support the next autumn harvest.

However, the most important thing next is the matter of spring plowing. Once there is a problem with spring plowing, the 40 army will be overwhelmed by then. ,
