Go back to the Three Kingdoms to grow vegetables

Chapter 395 Thank you yr81113 for your great reward
Regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, Liu Bei marched overnight and arrived at Gucheng.

Outside Gucheng, there are already tens of thousands of young and strong, each armed with farm tools and iron implements. The Chinese army is the elite cavalry from Xiliang.

The main general was Guo Si. Fearing Liu Bei's attack, Guo Si recruited tens of thousands of young and strong people to defend, and took the lead in sending these tens of thousands of young and strong families into Hangu Pass.

"Boys, think about your relatives who entered the customs. If you kill one Lucheng thief, you will get ten grains of grain. If you kill one general, you will get a hundred grains of grain. If you kill Liu Bei, you will be named a marquis, and you will be killed by someone!"

Guo Si shouted in the army.

Food and grass are the most expensive in troubled times, Dong Zhuo moved his capital to collect food and grass, and the people had little food except for rations. Guo Si rewarded food and threatened his family.

"Kill the thief to get food, kill the thief to protect the family, kill!"

Tens of thousands of troops, under the leadership of the knight-errant specially placed by Guo Si, blindly rushed towards the Lucheng army.

"My lord, these are farmers, what should we do?"

Zhao Yun said with a worried expression.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion caused too many deaths and injuries to the people of Hebei. Although the government forced the people to rebel, it did greatly damage Hebei's strength. How can it dominate the world without the people?

Liu Bei was also a little hesitant, these young men obviously moved their capital to Qing Zhuang, if they were killed, how could those people who stayed outside Hangu Pass die with him?How about sending them to Bingzhou?
Among the generals in Xiliang, there are also wise generals!But this plan must be Li Ru's poisonous plan.

"Everyone, what should we do now?"

"My lord, what else is there to say, just kill him."

Han Meng, Yu Fuluo, Pang De and others all said to kill, Liu Bei shook his head slightly when he heard this.

Jia Xu never joined the army, and Xun Yu was behind, but Guo Jia was by his side, and Guo Jia said: "If I am the Duke of Ming, I should retreat first."

"Then retreat."

Liu Bei gritted his teeth.

"Duke Ming can't, but there are only tens of thousands of young and strong. A certain charge is enough to kill and disperse them."

Yu Fuluo hadn't fought a battle since he came to the Central Plains, and he was eager to make meritorious service. Of course, the more important thing was to kill and scatter these tens of thousands of young and strong, and there were millions of Han people waiting for him to plunder.

"I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more."

Liu Bei shouted sharply.

Yu Fuluo felt dissatisfied, but seeing all the generals around him looking at him, he had no choice but to retreat, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

The Xiongnu army came to the Central Plains to help in the war, firstly to observe the situation in the Central Plains, and secondly to plunder.

Now that the princes of the Central Plains are fighting, the counties and counties are dilapidated, and the rise of the Huns coincides with the rise of the Huns, so the original intention of submitting in Fu Luo's heart naturally disappears.

The tens of thousands of young and strong men didn't even touch the side of the Lucheng army, so the Lucheng army retreated. Of course, the Lucheng army did not retreat to the end, but waited for the young and strong to attack while retreating.

Guo Si was afraid of Liu Bei's tricks, so he hurriedly ordered Jin to withdraw his troops.

At present, Guo Si entered Gucheng and ordered tens of thousands of young and strong men to surround the city, fearing that Liu Bei would attack the city at night.

Liu Bei also camped beside Gushui outside the city, and hurriedly called Xun Yu and Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures.

Xun Yu took the lead in saying: "The intention is to blackmail Duke Ming with the lives of millions of people. Duke Ming must not be fooled, otherwise his reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life!"

Liu Bei said: "If you can save His Majesty, you don't need this honorable name. I'm afraid that Your Majesty has already arrived in Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass is naturally dangerous. Let alone ten thousand people under my command, even one hundred thousand people will not be able to break through the city in one day. By then Dong Bandit has already arrived in Chang'an."

Jia Xu said: "My lord's words are not bad, now I can only avoid the battle while waiting for news from Hangu Pass."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "If Your Majesty has already entered the customs, we can't just watch Dong Zhuo escort these millions of people into the customs together!"

Of course not, Liu Bei raised his troops for these millions of people.

Liu Bei suddenly got up and bowed to Guo Jia: "Brother Feng Xiao is so confident, please teach me."

Guo Jiadao: "Duke Ming doesn't need to ask someone, even for these millions of people, he should set up a scheme. Li Ru's plan seems to be unsolvable, but it is actually easy to understand. As long as Duke Ming does not fight with him, his army will be defeated within a few days. scattered."

Guan Er snorted coldly when he heard the words: "Dong Thief has already transported these millions of people into Hangu Pass in a few days, and his army will naturally disperse."

Guo Jia sneered and said nothing, but Liu Bei felt that Guo Jia's intentions were not what Guan Yu said, so he had to look at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Actually, as long as the lord sends an army outside Hangu Pass to respond to the situation, the guards of Hangu Pass will definitely close the gate, and the millions of people will be kept out of the pass. At that time, the lord will release food. Wankou will naturally go with the lord."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words: "Then what about Gucheng?"

Xun Yu said: "He has no food, and Hangu Pass is closed again. He will definitely seek a battle with Duke Ming. If Duke Ming does not fight, he will not be able to fight and has no food. His army will be defeated. Duke Ming will not spend a single soldier." You can get tens of thousands of young and strong."

"good."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, it is good to have counselors.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu immediately: "Second brother, you lead the army to Hangu Pass, and you can spread flags outside the pass as suspicious soldiers."

"Here!"

Guan Yu came out.

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun again: "Zilong leads an army outside, and he specializes in fighting for his food and supplies."

"Here!"

Zhao Yun came out and said.

"Jun Yi led his headquarters to infiltrate the people, collect information, publicize my intentions, and eradicate the rest of the Dong bandits. What is necessary is to get people to write letters to the young and strong defenders of the city."

"Here!"

In Gucheng, Guo Bang couldn't sleep at night, Lu Chengjun's retreat without a fight completely disrupted Guo Bang's plan, there must be a conspiracy for Lu Chengjun's retreat!

"Lieutenant, maybe Liu Bei is afraid of our army's strength."

Wu Xidao, a general of Guo Si's department.

Guo Si shook his head: "Liu Bei, the famous general of Ping Huangjin, who kills [-] bandits at every turn, why should he be afraid of him?"

Wu Xi said: "Tens of thousands of young and strong are not to be feared, and the captain still has thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry in his hands, how can he not be afraid? Furthermore, Mr. Huang once said that there are no Huns in his army, but now there are Huns in the army. It shows that the loss of his army is not small, and now our army has thousands of elites watching and not fighting, how can he not be afraid?"

Guo Si nodded: "Perhaps! My lord has an order: the Kwantung Army has someone dispatched, immediately send someone to notify Xu Rong, and let him join me to destroy Liu Bei."

"Here!"

Wu Xi was about to retreat when Guo Si said, "Come back now, how much food and grass do we have?"

Wu Xi said: "Only our army has more than enough food for a month, if even those outside the city are less than a few days."

Guo Si nodded: "They are still needed now, they must be fed, otherwise Liu Bei's words are enough to make us kill each other."

"Here!"

Wu Xi left reluctantly.

Although Wu Xi obeyed the order, he ordered people to make dilute soup for the young and strong outside the city.
I haven't eaten enough these days, and I have been full for a while.

Even so, Wu Xi still feels distressed, it's abhorrent that these untouchables would go to Xiliang Iron Cavalry for a three-day ration with one meal.

When Wu Xi left, he said to the food supervisor: "Tomorrow's porridge should be thinner."

"Here!"

The food supervisor secretly said: Today, there are not many rice grains in this porridge. No matter how thin it is, it can only be a clear soup.

It is true that there is no trouble today because Wu Xi's porridge is thicker than Dong Zhuo's for the people, and he is really hungry.
