Chapter 654 Cao Cao's Dangerous Period and Grassland Strategy Stalemate

If Dong Chi did this multiple-choice question, or if Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, or any official in Yanzhou, he would definitely choose the local disaster victims without hesitation. No matter what, the local disaster victims are their own villagers. They would not save their fellow villagers and rescue the rebellious millions of Yellow Turban Army. Are you crazy?

But if later generations have watched a few episodes of the TV series "Three Kingdoms", they will not know which army Cao Cao started.

Once they choose to surrender the millions of Yellow Turban Army, it means giving up some of the local people in Yanzhou. However, will the major families be so willing to use their own food to help the people? Will they help the millions of Qingzhou people who robbed everywhere?

Cao Cao himself had no money and food. Not to mention getting taxes for one year in turmoil, even in the peaceful season, he would never receive such a tax!

What should I do if I don’t have money and food?

Only grab it!

Instigate Qingzhou army to massacre the families and destroy the families and rob the rich families!

Dong Hu knew that if it were a local official in Qingzhou, he would definitely kill millions of Yellow Turban Army without hesitation. If there were too many surrenders, it would be difficult to kill them, so they would be tricked into an empty city and dealt with them at one time.

But Cao Cao was an ambitious foreigner, so it was different. For example, Cao Cao also had the prefect of Henei County, Wang Kuang, who recruited some soldiers from Mount Tai to suppress the local families of Henei County; Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, recruited Danyang soldiers from his hometown, and used Danyang soldiers to suppress the local families of Xuzhou, and Liu Yan, Yizhou, was the same...

Such cases are not uncommon. It is normal for Cao Cao to surrender the Qingzhou army and instigate the Qingzhou army to attack the wealthy families in Yanzhou. Of course, it will definitely make the Yanzhou local families angry. When Cao Cao fought with Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Zhang Miao colluded with Lu Bu, and the entire Yanzhou changed the world in one day, and all counties and counties rebelled.

There are causes and consequences in the world, and there is no love without reason, nor no hatred without reason.

According to the letter sent by Xing Yong, Dong Hu could roughly see that in April and May of the next year, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would definitely go south to Yanzhou. One of them, hundreds of thousands of people retreated from Bohai County in November. Although Xing Yong has not sent such news yet, it can be inferred from the time when Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan County, defeated the Qingzhou Army. It is 300 miles from Taishan County to enter Bohai County. If the army marched directly, it would not take three months. However, there are a large number of old and weak people in the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army. There are also many counties along the way to attack some counties to increase supplies. It would be good to enter Bohai County in two or three months.

Since the defeat in November, the ground has been three feet of ice and snow. Once the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, most of the baggage will be lost. In this weather, although some young and old, women and children can be transferred to continue to attack the cities in Qingzhou, the vast majority of the elderly, young, women and children can only lie in the city until the spring warms in February, hundreds of thousands of people can continue to roll forward...

Entering Yanzhou in April and May, it will be difficult for Yanzhou to defeat such a huge "army" invasion in a short period of time. It would be fine if the millions of Yellow Turban Army were wiped out before the wheat was cultivated in August. The famine in Yanzhou will only spread to the summer harvest in May of the following year. However, if the millions of Yellow Turban Army cannot be resolved before the summer harvest in August, it means that the famine in Yanzhou will last at least until August of the following year.

Dong Hu knew that Cao Cao would let millions of Yellow Turban Army farm and farm. No matter how he farmed, he would need the winter wheat in August in the second year of Chuping (191) to the summer harvest in May in the third year of Chuping (192). However, during this period, when Yanzhou was suffering from military disasters and famine, even if Cao Song fully supported his son, the Cao family could not provide the money and food to support millions of people. Cao Cao would definitely instigate the Qingzhou army to loot the rich families!

Without money and food is a flaw, and it will be like this if anyone else is involved. A penny will stump a hero, and it will definitely not only be Cao Cao!

The period from the Qingzhou army to the harvest of food was Cao Cao's most fragile and difficult time. If Dong Hu wanted to kill him, he would not even need to lead his troops personally. He only needed to release news, reason and facts when Cao Cao surrendered the millions of Yellow Turban Army. As long as he told the major families in Yanzhou and told the families that Cao Cao would take action against them, Yanzhou would immediately become like when Lu Bu colluded with Zhang Miao. The major families in Yanzhou would inevitably resist in order to protect themselves. At this time, Cao Cao had not yet fully gained his foothold with the Qingzhou army, and it was difficult for him to resist the rebellion of the major families in Yanzhou.

May of the next year (the second year of Chuping) to the next year (the third year of Chuping) will definitely be the best time to take over Qingzhou. This period is the weakest period of Cao Cao and the most severe period of the wealthy families in Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Not only will there be countless Yellow Turban Army breaking the city and slaughtering, but Cao Cao also deliberately instigated the Qingzhou army to do evil.

After hearing such a fatal guess, Dong Chi began to feel restless, but Dong Hu seemed to be fine, eating and drinking. When he was fine, he took his nephew to appreciate the scenery of the northern country, but he didn't know that Dong Chi secretly sent a letter to Luoyang Daya.

For Dong Hu, August 2nd year of Chuping to May 3rd year of Chuping was the best time to attack Yanzhou and Qingzhou, but the grasp of the timing and avoiding the interference of Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu in Runan County was also extremely important.

Of course, after taking over Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the governance needs to be carefully considered. It is not just a means of war, but the most important thing is to safeguard the people. What's more, he also has to consider how much impact it will have on the future after killing Cao Cao, such as the question of who will beat Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian without Cao Cao.

He has a whole body and some problems need to be carefully considered and carefully planned, but he still has time, and there is a year to go!

Dong Chi was only in his thirties and had a son. Dong Hu loved the fat boy very much. After accompanying Dong Chi for the New Year, he repeatedly told the precautions for raising children. Then he took thousands of riders to Guyan Mountain. In February, he ran to Beihai (Berga Lake) with Guyan Mountain General Liu Qi and established a Beihai Protectorate. The hundreds of tribe leaders of the Dingling clan presented two or three hundred slaves and some skins to express their surrender.

He went south at the end of February and returned to Danhan Mountain in mid-March, and he also learned further what he had already "knowed".

Yuan Shao replaced Han Fu and Jizhou. The time was too short. Gongsun Zan led 30,000 troops to invade before his foothold was stable. Many counties along the way surrendered voluntarily. Yuan Shao recommended Gongsun Fan as the prefect of Bohai County. When Gongsun Fangang ran to Bohai County to take office, the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou came to the front. Gongsun Zan personally led 20,000 troops to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, beheaded 100,000, and captured countless.

Since he already knew the result, Dong Hu would not care too much about it. Instead of caring about these, he might as well learn more about the recent situation of Danhan Mountain!

When he entered Yanran Mountain, he had already learned that the Wuwan people did not enter the northern grassland on a large scale, but chose to enter Youzhou. They either followed Gongsun Zan to loot or were recruited by Liu Yu as soldiers. In addition, Bingzhou relaxed the Shiyi, and the Shiyi location was also located in the Wuwan people's territory. The leaders of each department were like shopkeepers who opened stores, and naturally they were unwilling to stay away from the territory, for fear that others would snatch their own business.

After the chaos in the world, it was not surprising that the Wuwan people focused on the Central Plains. Tribes near the Central Plains in all dynasties would choose this way, but the ways of entering were different. Some of them entered the Great Wall with swords, and others invited them to enter. However, no matter which method, the purpose was the same, and they coveted the fertile land of the Central Plains. Unless they failed in the end, they had to return to the grassland.

When he was in Yanran Mountain, Dong Hu asked Hua Xiong to order Hua Xiong that because the Wuwan people plundered the people of Youzhou, except for the pasture of Wuwan, the rest of the people were not allowed to take a step in Danhan Mountain and completely block the Wuwan people south of Danhan Mountain.

Whether the blockade or not is not important to the current Wuhuan people. Even if they go to the grasslands in the northern desert to graze, they are still old and weak in the tribe. The young and strong either go south to Youzhou or follow the leader to guard the city and place.

Dong Hu was most worried that the Wuwan people took advantage of the emptiness of the grassland to rest on the grassland, followed by the Xianbei people, but at this time the Xianbei people had to retreat to their hometown in Liaodong and western Liaoning to lick their wounds...

"The three brothers Fuluhans were defeated and fled to the east to the territory of the Xianbei people in the east. Perhaps Kebineng, Suli, Mijia, Queji was afraid that our army would continue to approach Liaodong and Liaoxi. A few days ago, when the seven people met, Kebineng killed the three brothers Fuluhans at a banquet, and then sent the three people's heads to Chang'an to surrender, and jointly recommended Qianman to become Shanyu."

Hua Xiong frowned and said, "It is more in line with our interests to fight with each other. But now the three brothers Fu Luohan were killed and Qian Man succeeded to the throne of Xianbei Shanyu. It is unknown whether it was a puppet pushed by Ke Bineng and others. Even if it was a puppet, Ke Bineng, Suli, Mijia, and Queji, the four Xianbei tribes, probably reached an agreement on advance and retreat. It would be difficult to take advantage of their chaos and take advantage of the situation."

"If the court recruits them, we cannot continue to force the Xianbei in Liaodong, Liaoxi in the short term."

Dong Hu frowned slightly, knowing that Hua Xiong's words were right. He was not surprised that Ke Bineng and others chopped the heads of the three brothers Fu Luohan. The three brothers had repeatedly forced Ke Bineng, Suli, Mijia, Que Ji to bow his head and even launched a war. If these were not counted, the three brothers fled to Liaodong and Liaoxi, and further squeezed the living space of the Xianbei people in Liaodong and Liaoxi, would become the most realistic problem. What's more, Ke Bineng, Suli and others were also worried that the three brothers Fu Luohan would kill them first.

After killing the three brothers Fu Luohan, the Xianbei people became even more concentrated. These may not be considered a big deal. The key is that they hid in the jungle...

After thinking about it for a while, Dong Hu said, "Even if my uncle agreed to the Xianbei people's request to surrender, my uncle would not care about us. However, it would be more troublesome for the Xianbei people to get into the forest. For the time being, this is the only way, but they cannot be allowed to step into the grassland!"

"In this way, transfer Dong Yao into Liu Qi's name and let them attack the Daxianbei Mountains and slowly squeeze from north to south. However, the jungle is not as good as the grassland. You and Liu Qi and the others should discuss it carefully. At this time, we have entered a strategic stalemate with the Hu tribes in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and it is difficult for us to draw tens of thousands of elite troops into the grassland in a short period of time. You should be particularly cautious when entering the jungle of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and do not seek merit but do not make mistakes."

Hua Xiong clasped his fists solemnly.

"promise!"

Seeing him like this, Dong Hu smiled, patted his shoulders and said with a smile: "The Xianbei people retreated into the jungle of Liaodong and Liaoxi. It is not easy to take them down in a short period of time. If they do not block their retreat, they will retreat to the colder and denser Great Xianbei Mountains, which is really troublesome."

"This is the only way in the short term. Some things are unhurried, but we must avoid the Wuwan people entering the grassland. In a few days, some Han people will enter the Beiyan Mountain grassland, so that they can block the Xianbei and Wuwan people. If the Xianbei people and the Wuwan people plunder our herdsmen, they can give us an excuse to start a war."

Hua Xiong was overjoyed and said, "That's great. If there are more Han herders, the grassland will be stable!"

Dong Hu smiled and said, "Whether the Han people or Hu people are, if they do not study and know benevolence and righteousness, they will also become enemies of the Central Plains, and they may become stronger or not. However, all Han people are ancestors, cultures, habits, etc., and even if they become enemies, they will not be as cruel as outsiders to treat their own people."
