The Lu family at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 110
"My lord, my son, this is a good harvest year. Judging from the current situation, we can harvest 40 shi of rice just from taxes!"

Half a month later, Chen Gong told Lu Bu and Lu Yi about the current situation.

"Okay, it looks like Jingzhou can be captured after the autumn harvest!"

Lu Yi smiled.

This Jiangnan really deserves to be a land of fish and rice!
It's just that Lu Yi's side is about to get a good harvest, while Cao Cao's side is made into a mess.

"This Yuan Benchu ​​actually did such a dirty thing!"

Cao Cao's face darkened immediately after reading the recent news.

The bamboo slips in his hand were also thrown away!
What made Cao Cao so angry? It was nothing more than the fact that Yuan Shao sent dozens of small cavalry to completely destroy his farm in Yanzhou!
This time he farmed the fields, he couldn't harvest much food at all.

This made Cao Cao, who was already a little short of food and grass, very depressed.

Before long, he, Cao Cao, would have nothing to eat.

"Wen Ruo, do you have any solution?"

Cao Cao still asked Xun Yu, the Minister of Internal Affairs, about such internal affairs issues about grain and grass.

"Liu Biao has enough food and grass. The prime minister can ask Liu Biao for a batch of food and grass in the name of His Majesty. Liu Biao will definitely not refuse!"

Xun Yu thought for a while and said.

"This is also a good way. I will report this matter to the emperor later. Which of you is willing to be this envoy?"

Cao Cao nodded and asked the staff under his account.

"I wish to go!" A person stood up from the crowd.

"Okay, Mao Jie is going, I can sit back and relax!"

After seeing the person who stood up, Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction.

This person is Mao Jie.

"Also, Yuan Shao made me feel so embarrassed. I really don't want to be reconciled. I plan to imitate him and destroy his grain fields. What do you think?"

Cao Cao was very unwilling to be reconciled to being made a mess by his childhood playmate who he despised very much, and planned to treat him with his own way.

But he didn't know whether this was right or wrong, so he came to ask everyone for their opinions.

"I think it's okay. If Yuan Shao has no food, he will definitely extend the time to go south, so that the prime minister can have more time to prepare!"

Cheng Yu thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.

Cao Cao was very satisfied.

Because he thought so too.

"What do you two think?"

Cao Cao set his sights on Xun You and Guo Jia again.

The wisdom of these two people is not necessarily inferior to that of Cheng Yu, they must have different opinions, and Cao Cao will not ignore their ideas.

"The Prime Minister and Zhong De's idea is very good, but they only need to take a big risk. I don't know if the Prime Minister can bear it."

Xun You pondered.

"Oh? What risk?"

Cao Cao was very surprised.

"That is to destroy Yuan Shao's farmland, will Yuan Shao be angry and send troops!"

Xun You's suggestion shocked Cao Cao like a thunderbolt.

Yes, he couldn't understand Yuan Shao's mind, he was just narrow-minded.

If he destroys his garrison, he has a great possibility to send troops in advance!
This is very bad for me!
Because his food and grass are very insufficient now!

Alas, there is no way, who makes Yuan Shao's fist bigger?If you offend him, you will suffer his revenge!
And Cao Cao, the weak side, still had to swallow it in his stomach after suffering a loss.

"Ah~"

Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

Although he now occupies Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, these three states have been war-torn for a long time, making him much weaker than Yuan Shao.

"Ahem, ahem, since Yuan Shao is strong and we can't provoke him, then we have no choice but to find people who are weaker than us for food and grass!"

Guo Jia coughed twice, indicating that he still exists.

"What does Feng Xiao mean to find trouble with Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words.

"Yes, I heard that Lu Bu has gained a lot this year!"

Guo Jia handed Cao Cao a bamboo slip.

Cao Cao took a look at it, and there was not only a little envy on his face.

"This Lu Bu actually made a barren Jiujiang County so rich!"

Although Jiujiang County is in the Yangtze River Basin, it is actually relatively barren.

Cao Cao never imagined that this small and barren Jiujiang County could have such a big harvest.

"Although Lu Bu is not as strong as me, he is not a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at will!"

Lu Bu is indeed weaker than Cao Cao now, but it is difficult for Cao Cao to eat Lu Bu.

"Jiangdong Sun Ce has always wanted to occupy Jiujiang County and rule the entire Jiangdong County. As long as we look for him, he will definitely agree. Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou will not provoke Lu Bu, but when Lu Bu is in danger, he may not be able to make trouble and get a piece of the pie. If the three families send troops together, it will be difficult for Lu Bu not to die!"

Guo Jia smiled confidently.

"Will Yuan Shao take the opportunity to attack me?"

Cao Cao was slightly worried.

Lu Bu's territory is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so why isn't he like this?
There is the powerful Yuan Shao in the north, Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west, Liu Biao, Lu Bu and Sun Ce in the west, and the situation is actually more difficult than that of Lu Bu.

"Yuan Shao also hopes that we fight as hard as possible!"

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao feel at ease.

That's right, the more fiercely he fights with others, the better for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao should be very happy to see such a situation.

"Okay, I'll send someone to find Sun Ce, and discuss with him about defeating Lu Bu!!"

Cao Cao agreed.

When the time comes, after Lu Bu is destroyed, Sun Ce wants territory, while Cao Cao wants food and grass.

There is no contradiction between the two.

Cao Cao sent people to negotiate with Sun Ce, and led [-] troops to attack Lu Bu, and in the name of Liu Xie, let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei be the vanguards!

Stationing troops in Runan, as long as Sun Ce agrees, he will immediately attack Lu Bu!
