Beast King Three Kingdoms

Chapter 060: Two in a row and three in a row

() (I played the game all day yesterday, today I guess I was exhausted and dizzy!)

Yuan Shu didn't understand Sun Gan's actions like this. The list of gifts must be recorded in the letter.

"Hey! I just want to see how 'big' Tao Yang's gift is." Xuzhou has always been rich, and the amount of money and food is unknown. For the sake of Xuzhou's safety, Tao Qian will definitely bleed a lot this time, and Yuan Shu can't help but look forward to it.

He ordered people to present the slips of paper, and when he opened them, Yuan Shu was secretly surprised.

"Xuzhou deserves to be a rich land." According to the records in the letter, Sun Qian brought 100 million shi of grain and grass, 5000 million coins, and dozens of carts of cloth this time, which are already worth all the belongings of some medium-sized aristocratic families.

The wealth of the aristocratic family must have been accumulated for decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years to have such a large scale, but Xuzhou has given out money and food comparable to a medium-sized family at one time, which made Yuan Shu sigh in admiration.

"No!" Yuan Shu suddenly thought, since Xuzhou is so rich, why Cao Cao still lacks food and grass after taking Xuzhou, this is not in line with common sense.

In fact, Yuan Shu just didn't figure it out for a while, as long as he connected the things that happened in Xuzhou in the future, everything would become clear.

Although Xuzhou is rich, it will change hands several times in the future and experience countless wars.

First, Cao Cao massacred the city, causing the population of Xuzhou to drop sharply; later Liu Bei came to power, Xuzhou recovered a little, but was immediately occupied by Lu Bu;

Moreover, due to the continuous war, the people of Xuzhou could not produce with peace of mind at all, and the grain production was naturally scarce.

After Cao Cao acquired Xuzhou, the money and food in the treasury were basically squandered by the previous masters. People's livelihood was difficult, and self-sufficiency was still very reluctant, let alone supporting Cao Cao's military.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu quickly figured out everything, and couldn't help but sighed: "People in troubled times have no means of living! Xuzhou is a living example!"

It is difficult for a large and prosperous state to be self-sufficient in the end, which shows how harmful the troubled times are.

"Cough cough!" Seeing Yuan Shu's silence, Sun Gan felt a little puzzled, coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what the general wants?"

Yuan Shu woke up with no change on his face, and handed the letter to Xun You and Feng Ji.

After Xun You and Feng Ji saw it, they were also shocked by Xuzhou's prosperity.

"Tao Qian's sincerity is indeed good, but I still have one request. If I can agree, the previous matter will be canceled." Yuan Shu thought for a while and said to Sun Qian.

"I don't know what the request is?" Sun Qian asked cautiously.

"You will be close to the Yanzhou line. Within a hundred miles, all the people will move to the south bank of the Huaihe River, in Guangling." Close to Yanzhou, that is, close to Cao Cao, if all the people here are moved, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to slaughter the city.

"Is the general joking?" Sun Qian's expression darkened. This condition was too harsh, making Sun Qian feel that Yuan Shu had no sincerity in the peace talks.

Xun You and Feng Ji also felt a little unbelievable, and wanted to persuade them, but because of Sun Qian's presence, they couldn't speak out.

"As long as Tao Qian agrees to this condition, I can assure you that I will never set foot in the north of Xuzhou within a day." Anyway, Tao Qian will not live long, Yuan Shu thought to himself.

Sun Qian's eyes widened, his face full of surprise. As a lobbyist, he must control his emotions at all times. Sun Qian can be said to be a top lobbyist, and he has reached a level of proficiency in controlling emotions.

But now, Sun Qian could no longer control his emotions, because what Yuan Shu said was too unbelievable, whether it was his request or his guarantee.

"Is the general serious?" Sun Qian asked for proof.

"A man keeps his promises, and there is absolutely no reason to go back on his word." Yuan Shu said with a serious face.

Seeing this, Sun Qian couldn't help but fell silent.

Xun You and Feng Ji were a little confused at this time, but they didn't know what Yuan Shu's plan was.

After a long time, I only heard Sun Qian say: "I can't decide this matter, I have to go back to Xuzhou to ask for instructions."

"No!" Yuan Shu waved his hand in a very domineering way: "Whether to attack Xuzhou or attack Jingzhou, I have not yet decided, time is precious, don't waste it here."

The words were full of threats.

Sun Qian could hear it naturally, and cupped his hands and said: "It's not because I don't want to, it's really a low-ranking official, such a big matter can't be decided at all, I hope the general will forgive me."

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Qian with great interest, and secretly praised in his heart: "This man speaks clearly and has eloquence skills. He is indeed a rare diplomatic talent."

"You don't need to be so troublesome! Keep the things. You go back to Xuzhou and tell Tao Qian about the matter. If he agrees, he will immediately order people to relocate the people. It must be completed within one month." It is the end of June, and Cao Cao is in the autumn of August. At that time, the army started to attack Xuzhou, so the people had to be moved out within a month, otherwise a massacre would be inevitable.

"In the land of Jingshan, our general Wenpin defeated Liu Biao and wiped out [-] troops. It depends on your intention whether to go south or north." Yuan Shu threatened again.

Naturally, Sun Qian didn't know Yuan Shu's thoughts, and thought that he was really planning to mobilize troops, so he was very panicked.

"Don't worry, General, just go back to Xuzhou and tell my lord what happened." Sun Gan was completely intimidated by Yuan Shu, and left on the spot.

Yuan Shu's goal has been achieved, so naturally he will not be kept.

As soon as Sun Qian left, Feng Ji couldn't wait to ask: "What is the Lord's intention?"

"Hehe!" Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Although we took down the southern part of Xuzhou, the land here is sparsely populated, and the immigration consumption under the rule is too large. It is much more convenient to go from Xuzhou. After all, Tao Qian arranged, and we can Directly increasing the population can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”

Xun You asked curiously: "Then why didn't my lord immigrate from Huaiyin and other places, instead of looking far away, and insisted on the people on the border of Yanzhou?"

Regarding this point, Yuan Shu had also thought up his words.

"If the people of Huaiyin are moved, Xuzhou may mistakenly think that we want to take Huaiyin, which is not good. Xiapi and Pengcheng are both important towns in Xuzhou, so naturally they are not advisable. Only the people in the border areas may be advisable." Yuan Shu explained. .

Xun You and Feng Ji thought about it for a while, and it was true. Although the Xuzhou border is still close to Qingzhou, it is far away and not as fast as the Yanzhou border.

So, the problem is gone.

A few days later, Wenpin sent a battle report saying that Liu Biao had led his army back to Jiangling.

The cause of the incident was Pang Ji.

Pang Ji returned from his mission and informed Liu Biao of the battle in Xuzhou.

Liu Biao paled in fright, fearing that Yuan Shu would deal with him after finishing Xuzhou, so he withdrew his troops hastily.

Although Kuai Liang advised Liu Biao to divide his troops, he stole from Jingshan and attacked Xiangyang.

However, Liu Biao lost all courage and refused to fight Yuan Jun again.

Kuai Liang had no choice but to watch Liu Biao retreat, and sighed in his heart: "Jingzhou is already owned by Yuan Shu."

After reading the battle report, Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he was able to develop steadily and steadily. Although the battle had achieved huge benefits, it also supported his pace of change.

Now that it's finally over, Yuan Shu is naturally overjoyed.

A few days later, news also came from Xuzhou that Tao Qian had agreed to Yuan Shu's proposal and had already started arranging the relocation of the people.

One after another, Yuan Shu smiled from ear to ear.

The generals under his command should handle things properly, Yuan Shu has nothing to do, and spends the whole day with his three wives, playing with their children and playing with their daughters, living a very happy life.

In the blink of an eye, it was already August, and the people of Xuzhou had already migrated. There were more than 60 people. You must know that there were only 61 people in Xiapi. This time, the entire population of Xiapi was relocated.

With these 60 people, Yandu, Jiangdu and other places quickly prospered.

Not long after, a major event happened in Xuzhou. The news spread to Yandu, and countless people celebrated with each other.
