Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 179 The restless Xuzhou, the motivation before the war!
"We can't delay any longer, we must find a way to collect the food!"

Che Zhou couldn't help standing up and cupping his fists and said:
"General Yu Jin, please let me go!"

Yu Jin waved his hands, his voice was a bit cold, but it was not aimed at Che Zhou, but at those wealthy families in Xuzhou.

Some of the expelled soldiers were miserable, and were even seriously injured by Xuzhou local tyrants, and fled back in embarrassment!

Those soldiers are all his personal guards!

"These country tyrants, seeing Yuan Shao's power, want to bet on both sides! They really don't know how to live or die!"

Yu Jin naturally knows the thoughts of the nobles in Xuzhou's countryside.

Although his Yu family is not a wealthy family, they are also local tyrants, so they can naturally grasp the thoughts of similar wealthy families.

But the problem is that he is no longer a powerful man!

He is a serious general of the imperial court, holding a lot of power in his hands, compared to the tyrants who can only dominate the countryside, I don't know how many grades are higher!

In the past, these so-called local tyrants came together to curry favor with him, and he didn't even bother to take a look.

But right now, these people actually dare to beat his personal guard directly?

Is this playing a guard?
This is slapping him in the face!
What's more, it's not just that Xuzhou City is short of food now, Cao Cao on the front line has sent people several times to urge to gather food and grass.

If Yu Jin couldn't produce food and grass, he would report back to Cao Cao and say, ah, the prime minister is sorry.

There is not enough food and grass in the city, and the soldiers we sent to collect food have all been driven back.

What would Cao Cao think?
Only talent!Only talent!
This sentence is not just to say that Cao Cao only looks at talents and not character when employing people.

And vice versa!
If you are incapable, or make Cao Cao feel that you are incapable.

Then, the authority that Cao Cao gave you can also be taken back!

Yu Jin joined the army in his early years, and he has been depressed and frustrated. It was not until he met Cao Cao that he felt elated!

Let him go back to the state of dawdling in the past, how can he be banned!

Immediately, Yu Jin gritted his teeth and revealed a cruel smile.

"Nowadays, the Wubao closest to me in Xuzhou should be the Zhou family."

Che Zhou and Dong Heng and Dong Wei looked at each other, and they both felt chills down their backs.

However, Yu Jin ignored the changes in the expressions of the three of them at all, snorted coldly, and gave orders directly.

"General Che Zhou, I will leave the defense of Xuzhou City to you. Dong Heng, you are responsible for assisting General Che Zhou in defending the city."

As he spoke, Yu Jin walked towards the outside of the prefect's mansion, and greeted him:

"Dong Wei, gather [-] soldiers and follow me out of the city. First break the Zhou Clan's Fort, and take all the Zhou Clan's food, as a deterrent!"

Yu Jin's smile became colder and colder:
"As for the charges, let's convict one, fornicating Hebei!"

He Yu Jin, although he is a warrior, but when necessary.

Like Man Chong, it's not like he doesn't know how to be a cruel official and frame him!

You know, he is also a person who has read the scriptures since he was banned from writing!

……

The sound of horseshoes in Xuzhou City was like thunder, and three thousand cavalry came out from the east gate of Xuzhou City, and went straight to the unfortunate Zhou's house.

The Xuzhou defenders on the city wall naturally also saw this scene. They all looked at each other in blank dismay, and then lowered their heads, all looking listless.

It can't be blamed that they have no energy at all.

In fact, these days, although Xuzhou City has not run out of food, the situation is not much better.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the city wall can still guarantee a dry meal a day.

However, the soldiers who had no mission and only stayed in the barracks didn't even have a meal to do.

What I can see every day is enough gruel to reflect the figure.

"God, this damn thief, I don't know when he will give more rainwater!"

A soldier licked his chapped lips, looked up at the top of his head, although it was almost dusk, but the sun was still quite fierce, he couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

An older soldier next to him sneered:
"Still thinking that the gods will appreciate the rain? In the present year, even if it rains tomorrow, this year's summer grain harvest will also be wiped out! In this famine year, some people will suffer."

Hearing what the old soldier said, the young soldier couldn't help feeling more and more melancholy.

The dialogue between the two of them is just a small microcosm of the soldiers in Xuzhou City.

The military rations were unsustainable, and everyone was just trying to stay calm. If they weren't afraid of military law, they would have escaped.

Couldn't find anything to eat either.

The defenders of Xuzhou City must have fled long ago.

"I don't know what the prime minister is thinking and why he is so stubborn in wanting to go to war with Yuan Shao."

The current situation of the big man is quite paradoxical, among other things, it is strange enough to have two prime ministers in the world.

Since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was robbed by Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao took the prime ministership.

Hebei began to call Yuan Shao the prime minister.

On Cao Cao's side, although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict, no one took it seriously. Everyone should call the prime minister and still call the prime minister.

That is to say, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not meet in person in two confrontations.

Otherwise, Yuan Tan thought that scene must have been particularly wicked.

Shaking his head, Yuan Tan restrained his mind, looked at the soldiers who finally came down the mountain, one by one tired and paralyzed on the ground, and smiled.

Gao Lan walked over from the side and reported to Yuan Tan:
"Major General, we have already counted them. There are 21 soldiers who were left behind. Four of them fell down the last part of the mountain because of exhaustion."

Yuan Tan nodded and reminded:
"Remember to register and make a record. In addition, all the soldiers will gain one level of merit for climbing the mountain this time!"

Gao Lan said heartily:

"Don't worry, major general, all the soldiers who died in battle have been recorded, as for the meritorious service."

Gao Lan glanced at Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan understood what Gao Lan meant and wanted him to announce it himself.

After all, the military merit pension system was planned by Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan is the leader of this army.

It is better to say something like a reward from his mouth, which is more convincing to the soldiers.

Yuan Tan knew it in his heart. After pondering for a while, he asked Gao Lan to go to his camp to prepare some things, then got up directly, came to the center of the barracks, and sent an order:

"Brothers, you have worked hard today. The generals of each song will come to listen to the orders. Although they are not going to battle today, they are not less dangerous than a battle. Therefore..."

Yuan Tan looked at the dozens of singers who were suddenly excited, and showed a smile:

"Today, all the brothers who have climbed over this mountain will receive one level of merit. I have asked General Gao Lan to register and make a register. After conquering Xuzhou, he will be promoted to an official position immediately."

As he said that, Yuan Tan clapped his hands to signal that everyone should not rush to celebrate, but he turned his head and glanced at Gao Lan.

Gao Lan immediately carried a package found in Yuan Tan's tent.

Yuan Tan directly opened the package, and in an instant, the yellow-orange light illuminated the eyes of the soldiers present!
"As for rewards, I'm also ready. If any brother wants to exchange rewards for merit, he can cash them on the spot! According to the previous example, one merit can be exchanged for a thousand dollars!"

Yuan Tan lightly squeezed out a golden bean, looked at the Qu generals who suddenly became short of breath, and said with a smile:

"Don't be impatient, why don't you go and ask the brothers, if anyone wants to exchange rewards for merit, it's safe to put them in their pockets first, just let them come here to collect the money."

The dozens of song generals clasped their fists immediately, and after a while, the whole camp was boiling!
