Chapter 437： : Strategies of Xi Zhicai

"My lord, there are now a large number of refugees gathered outside the city. If they are not properly resettled, I am afraid that something will happen." The strategy kept coughing, and his pale face flashed rosy.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "How would this lord know that, but now Yanzhou is also short of food and grass, the locust plague is raging, the people are not harvested, and the lord is also powerless."

"Lord, people die outside the city every day. If things go on like this, if these people gather to make trouble, it will be a disaster to Yanzhou." Xun Yu said.

In the face of such a situation, Cao Cao was helpless, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Xuzhou has a lot of money and food. Although it has suffered disasters, it is not as serious as Yanzhou. Jingzhou is also a wealthy man. If you send people to Xuzhou to borrow food, and then send people to Jingzhou, the holy will show mercy to the people and will not sit back and watch Yanzhou and Yuzhou suffer. This is difficult." Xun You suggested.

Cao Cao nodded. Even if he knew that Xuzhou would not borrow grain and Jingzhou would not deliver grain and grass, there was always some hope. He was most worried, as Xi Tie and Xun Yu said, without food, driven by hunger. These people are very likely to become refugees and endanger Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which Cao Cao cannot tolerate.

After everyone left, Cao Cao set his sights on the strategy, "Aspirational has something but to speak."

"My lord, now the Bingzhou army has occupied Hanoi with a thunderous force. The ambition of the coveted Sili is clearly revealed, and Jin Hou has the imperial decree. After occupying Hanoi, how can he give up the richer Hedong, once Jin Hou takes it? After Hedong, you can attack Chang'an, Henan Yin, Hongnong, and Liangzhou. Once the Jin Marquis takes possession of Henan Yin, it will be adjacent to Yanzhou, which is the biggest disaster." The strategy slowly said.

Cao Cao's expression tightened. Hanoi and Hedong belonged to Hebei. This is why Cao Cao was relieved. Yanzhou was close to Henan Yin. If the army had survived the Yellow River and attacked Henan Yin, he would become Yanzhou's neighbors. There is such a one. With his ambitious neighbor beside him, how can he feel at ease, even if Lu Bu is most likely to attack Chang'an, he can't guess Lu Bu's past behavior with common sense.

"In this way, Yanzhou is in danger." Cao Cao sighed, but Yanzhou had a drought and locust plague at such a juncture. Otherwise, Cao Cao's next step would be to occupy Hongnong and Henan Yin, and then take the land of Xuzhou.

After occupying Henan Yin and Hongnong, the army of Yanzhou can attack the land of Sanshou. Chang'an is in the hands of the troubled thieves Li Lao Guo Peng and others. If the second thieves are eliminated, his prestige in the world will be higher, and Chang'an is It is the land of Longxing. You only need to send a small number of soldiers and horses to occupy the surrounding levels, advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending. It is the foundation of great cause. He believes that Lu Bu has also seen this.

"The lord, his subordinates went to Bingzhou and learned that the Marquis of Jin loved the people like a child and treated the people very generously. He even distributed the fields that originally belonged to the Bingzhou family to the people. Why not let the people go to Bingzhou to find a way to survive."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "It's also a feasible method, but with so many refugees, if they go to Bingzhou, wouldn't it make Bingzhou stronger."

"Lord, on this occasion, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are already overwhelmed by their own efforts. Keeping the people will only cause more people to die. Most of the land will not be harvested, and the army will be in short supply." Trick persuaded the people in troubled times. The size determines the strength. The princes understand that if they can barely eat their food, the people will not choose to go far away. In the past, the people who went to Bingzhou to find a way to survive were the poor.

"Well, in the words of ambition and talent, this prince is also for the sake of the people." Cao Cao sighed. Lu Bu was kind to the people, and he was also famous among the princes. For the people to dare to attack the family, if the people were to be prevented from governing the land. In addition, it will definitely lead to verbal criticism from the princes.

"The lord is wise, the subordinates will do it." Leaving the prefecture, the strategy coughed violently, dots of blood appeared on the silk cloth, and hurriedly stuffed the silk cloth into his arms and headed towards the army.

Refugees gathered outside the city can only rely on the rice porridge provided by the city to survive. It’s just that the rice porridge is clear and can show people’s shadows. The rice grains are even harder to find. Even so, the people are unwilling to leave Sanyang. This is Their last hope is. If they leave here, they may not even have rice porridge. They also hope that the family in the city can take them in, even if they are farming for the family, as long as they can fill their stomachs. At this time, for them, they can Eating hot meals is already a luxury.

In the past few days, the number of refugees gathered outside Shanyang City has reached 30,000, and the soldiers responsible for maintaining order have also reached thousands. Driven by hunger, even the moderate people on weekdays have a fierce side. For a bowl of rice porridge, you can fight hard. If you want to get rice porridge, you need to work harder.

"Don't be in Yanzhou anymore. Most of Yanzhou has suffered from locust plagues. I heard that there is not much money and food in the prefecture. I am afraid that in a few days, even the rice porridge will be gone." A civilian lowered his voice.

At this time, the people cared most about the food rations, and their only hope was soon gone, making them feel anxious, and hurriedly surrounded them after hearing the words.

"I've heard that the people in Bingzhou can eat three meals a day, and Jin Marquis treats the people kindly. Many people who go to Bingzhou have land to take. Those who have children in the army at home do not need to pay taxes, and the state has not suffered. Natural disasters, if you don’t go, I am afraid that the state will not let it in."

One stone caused a thousand waves of waves, and the strategy secretly ordered the soldiers to pretend to be the people to spread the words, which soon spread among the people. Looking at the clear rice porridge day by day, many people chose to go to Bingzhou, where they were in Yanzhou. There is no way to survive.

Even if they choose to stay, they are still some old and weak. They do not have the ability to go to Bingzhou. I am afraid that they have not yet reached Bingzhou and died on the way.

Xun Yu also had a bitter expression on his face when he heard about things outside the city. Of course he knew that this must be Cao Cao's handwriting, but what should Lu Bu do after so many people go to Bingzhou? There are probably 20,000 people who go to Bingzhou just outside the city. Twenty thousand people, but they don’t have any financial resources. If they go to Bingzhou, they can only rely on money to survive, even though Bingzhou is no longer so barren and can accommodate. So many people?

Moreover, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili regions have also suffered disasters. Once these refugees learn that there is a way to survive in Bingzhou, wouldn't they flock to Bingzhou?

Xun Yu also knows that Yanzhou is now at a critical moment. If there is no more food and grass, let alone the people, even the army will be hungry. How should Yanzhou survive the immediate difficulties?
