Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Hot summer.

"Zhang Manzi, why did you bring this ugly boy out?" After leaving Xiapi, Guo Jia finally put away his Sima face and felt alive again. He didn't forget to make fun of everyone he saw. He didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Pang Tong: "Boy, why are you running around while you're not arguing with Kong Ming in Xuchang? It's so dangerous outside."

Guo Jia was a frequent visitor to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he naturally recognized Pang Tong.

He is very distinctive in appearance and unconventional in his ugly appearance.

He has thick eyebrows and a raised nose, a face as black as carbon, and jagged teeth.

With his appearance, it's hard not to be remembered.

Pang Tong was talented, resourceful and generous. What he lacked before was just a sense of identity.

If Guo Jia teased him like this before, not to mention getting furious, he would definitely not be happy. Even though he knew there was no malice in Guo Jia's words.

But after being appointed by Zhang Wu as military advisor Zhonglang General, everything became different.

What Zhang Wu gave him was by no means a simple official position, but also gave him a sense of self-confidence.

Even the famous Champion Hou turned into Zhang Manzi when he spoke of him, and he just thought of him as an 'ugly boy'. In this way, he was promoted.

At this moment, Pang Tong just smiled: "I'm feeling stuffy in the house, so I came out to gain some experience."

Guo Jia looked at Pang Tong in confusion.

This was not the first time that he had spoken out in an aggressive manner, but this time, Pang Tong acted a little too calmly.

This made him doubt that no matter who he was, he could be transformed after spending two days working under Zhang Wu.

"You kid, you don't think you are not a good friend of Kong Ming. Just leave in shame." Since appearance didn't irritate him, Guo Jia was ready to irritate him with his talent.

No one with high talent and knowledge is arrogant. Even if Guo Jia hears others say that he is not as good as so and so, he will still explode on the spot.

Pang Tong's expression remained unchanged, his fists were tightly clenched, and he was about to say something bold, but was interrupted by Zhang Wu.

"Idiot Guo, shut your stinking mouth. This is the military advisor appointed by me. You must be polite, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."

Guo Jia was good at reading people's hearts, and his crazy testing was just to get out of Pang Tong's bottom line.

But at the moment, Pang Tong has not fully matured. If he is allowed to run around, he will inevitably be greedy for success in order to prove himself in the future.

Zhang Wu didn't want the people he valued to die from his pride in the future.

"Hey, Zhang Manzi, don't be so angry. I'm just trying this guy's qi-nurturing skills. Why are you so nervous?" Guo Jia said, taking out the wine gourd on his waist and taking two sips of wine.

I saw the tip of the Overlord's gun flashing away.

The gourd shattered in response.

The old wine was poured over Guo Jia's head, but not even a drop entered his mouth.

"Zhang Manzi! You pay me the wine, this is the royal tribute I got from the Prime Minister!"

"Humph, idiot Guo, don't be so angry. I'm also trying your Qi nourishing skills, but it doesn't look like you've made any progress."

"you!!"

During the commotion, the towering walls of Jinyang City could already be seen in the distance.

Xun You calculated the date of Zhang Wu's return and led a group of Bingzhou officials out of the city to welcome him.

Lu Bu and Huang Zhong were among them.

Zhang Wu didn't care, he got off his horse and clasped his fists at Xun You and said: "Gongda is too outsider, how dare you go out to meet him personally."

Xun You staggered Zhang Wu's body, looked back at the long queue of motorcades, and said with a smile: "I believe that when Qian Qian comes back from here, he will be able to alleviate the danger of Bingzhou. It's really good."

Zhang Wu's heart skipped a beat.

He is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper and has no knowledge of internal affairs or people's livelihood.

These things have always been taken care of by Xun You.

In his opinion, there are more than one hundred thousand war horses, cattle and sheep in Bingzhou, so there is no such thing as a so-called crisis.

But according to Xun You, that's not the case at all.

At that moment, Zhang Wu was no longer in the mood to chat with everyone, so he grabbed his arm and asked, "Gongda, why is the situation so dangerous?"

Xun You sighed and said, "Let's talk while walking."

The two went hand in hand in front, and everyone gathered behind them.

Xun You's face was not relaxed, and he was obviously not being alarmist.

"Zi Qian, don't you think this summer is hotter than in previous years?"

"It hasn't rained in a long time, so it will naturally be hotter...you mean?"

Xun You nodded and said: "If it doesn't rain, the counties may not be able to harvest anything. It's not bad. Bingzhou's military front is in full swing. What we need is backed by the grassland, so there will be no worries. What I'm really worried about is that the weather is too hot and there will be a locust plague." , the people in Hanoi and Hedong will definitely be affected, and when the surplus food from previous years is used up, there will be victims and mourners all over the land."

Hanoi and Hedong counties are not under Cao Cao's control.

But as the true northern overlord, these lands will be recovered sooner or later.

The combined population of the two counties is greater than the population of the entire Bingzhou. Once a serious disaster is really suffered, the vitality will be damaged. Even if they could be collected and paid at that time, there would only be hundreds of thousands more victims.

Not to mention becoming Cao Cao's assistant, I'm afraid it will become a huge drag.

Moreover, once a drought or locust plague occurs, a large number of victims will flow into Bingzhou, and Bingzhou's stored grain and livestock may not be able to cover this huge gap.

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Zi Qian, don't worry too much. The Mi family has many trade routes in Jizhou. Even if we spend all our wealth, I will buy back the grain and grass needed by each state."

There are many wealthy families in Jizhou.

The aristocratic families and clans are numerous and complex.

The grain storage is the best among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

It would be best if the trade routes could be reopened.

But now the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao has almost reached a freezing point. After Mi Zhu surrendered to Cao Cao, it was tantamount to wishful thinking to want to ask for food in Jizhou.

Not to mention that you can't buy it, even if you can buy it, the price of food and grass will probably be sky-high.

No matter how rich the Mi family is, it is still just a family.

However, Cao Cao's men did not count Xuzhou, but had four states.

Among them, Qingzhou and Bingzhou have not yet recovered their vitality, and they will definitely not be self-sufficient.

How could the Mi family feed the people of the two states with their own efforts!

We must think of some new countermeasures!

Zhang Wu's eyes flashed, and he turned his head and stared at Guo Jia: "Idiot Guo, you still need to mobilize Bingzhou generals and scribes. I don't care what method you use, one month! In one month, I will see Xianbei people all around Jiuquan. !”

In previous years, when there was a snowstorm and the foreigners on the grassland had a hard time, they would go south to thresh the grass in the valley.

Since they can act like this, Zhang Wu can naturally follow suit.

But this time, he was not prepared to seriously damage the vitality of Xianbei and Qianghu.

After all, only living people are productive, and only living people can continuously provide Bingzhou with cattle, sheep, and war horses.

It is really not too late to wait until the Han people in all states in the world have recovered their strength and then kill the donkeys.

Guo Jia stopped laughing and joking, looked solemn, raised his hand and said: "Yes."

"Pang Shiyuan, you are the commander-in-chief of the military division. I will give you one month to prepare the troops and horses of Bingzhou. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed with a green sword. If you don't understand, please ask Gongda directly."

"promise!"

"Gongda, I'd like to trouble you to come up with the regulations for annexing the state."

"Don't worry, Ziqian."

Zhang Wu was anxious in his heart and could no longer think about returning to the city to repair. He immediately waved his big gun and said, "Lü Bu, Huang Zhong! You two each go to Fei Xiong and Wolf Cavalry to order 3,000 cavalry, a total of 6,000. Come with me." Yecheng!"

The two looked at each other and said loudly: "I have the order!"
