Chapter 679 The turbulent Yuzhou and the silently waiting nurse
Cao Cao was very angry. As long as there were tens of thousands of troops, he would be very sure to defeat the Qingzhou thieves, but now he could not even get together 10,000 troops...
"It's still the right thing that the yangzhai kid said..."
Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, Xun Yu, Guo Jia seemed to know the hidden meaning he wanted to express.
"My lord, please think twice. The lord has just become the governor of Yanzhou, so you must not easily anger the families in Yanzhou."
Xun Yu looked solemn, Cao Cao was silent...
"Wen Ruo said so much, for the sake of the present plan... she should eliminate the Qingzhou thieves first. By the way, Feng Xiao must not neglect Luoyang. Dong Xining is best at taking advantage of others' fierce battles, so she must not neglect and careless!"
Guo Jia looked solemn.
"Please rest assured, lord, Guo Jia has sent someone to Chenliu County!"
"Um."
Cao Cao had no choice but to do so in the end, and he secretly thanked Wang Yun that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, otherwise... with his understanding of the cunning boy, he would never sit idly by and watch him fight with the Qingzhou thieves, but he didn't know that Dong Hu had no idea to stop him from fighting with the Qingzhou army.
The major families in Yanzhou are not idiots. They know the consequences of Cao Cao's defeat, but they are more worried that Cao Cao will still be defeated after full support. This consequence cannot be borne by each family.
Whether or not Dong Hu exists, Cao Cao has not proved his ability now. It would be fine if he was defeated just because of insufficient troops. What the major families are most worried about is that Cao Cao is defeated by insufficient abilities. If it were Dong Hu, Dong Hu would not hesitate to support Cao Cao with full support, that is because he knew that Cao Cao was capable. The key is that the families in Yanzhou did not see Cao Cao's true ability and naturally would not continue to take risks in investment.
When the princes of all walks of life besieged Luoyang, Yanzhou was able to take out 100,000 troops, but now, Cao Cao could only use ten thousand soldiers to fight...
Time is the same as fate.
Cao Cao was angry about the uncooperation of various families, which had nothing to do with Liu Sheng. He was waiting for the reply from the princes of all sides. He wanted to start a war with Liu Chong, the prince of Chen. The first person to receive the news was Zhang Miao, the prefect of Jiyin County. Without any surprise, Zhang Miao was going to be a peacemaker. The second person to receive the news was Cai Yong, who was angry and helpless. He had just returned to Liang State from Pei State and had to take his daughter to Chen State, for fear that Fan Chou would take the opportunity to cause trouble. He also specially entered Chen State from Yan County, and was accompanied by Liu Fu, the legitimate son of Liu Mi, the prince of Liang State.
King Liu Mi of Liang sent his only son Liu Fu, and Prime Minister Cai Yong even went to Chen State in person. After the news came to Pei State, King Liu Yao and Prime Minister Yuan Zhong could only send envoys, followed by Xu Rong's threatening letter, Yuan Shu's envoy, and Nanyang County was farthest. When the news reached Wancheng, King Liu Chong of Chen and Prime Minister Luo Jun had already put Liu Sheng's son Liu Qi back, but Liu Bian was not aware of this. After receiving the letter from Liu Sheng, he hurriedly sent envoys.
After waves of envoys, even Yuan Shu was scaring Chen Guo. How could Liu Chong and Luo Jun dare to forcefully hold Liu Qi?
From east to west, Chen State was half surrounded by Liang State, Chenliu County, and Yingchuan County. Liang State Captain Fan Chou stationed 5,000 troops in Yan County, only twenty miles from Chen Guozhe County. Fan Chou's coercion made Chen State uneasy. Liu Chong and Luo Jun wanted to use Chen Liu County as a soft persimmon, hoping to use Liu Qi to demonstrate to Liang State... or Luoyang, but they scared himself half to death. All the princes around him said that if they did not put Lao Liu's son back and Chen County went to war with Chen State, they would not interfere.
Yuan Shu was a very awesome prince. In fact, his "magic aura" was just a manifestation of his favour. His aura was because of his generousness. No matter who he was in his territory, he could point his fingers to appoint this as the governor, and that prefect, such as when he just occupied Nanyang County, in terms of region, he was just the prefect of a county under the governor of Jingzhou Liu Biao. But when the governor of Yuzhou Kong Yichang died, he pointed his fingers and asked Sun Jian to be the governor of Yuzhou. He was a prefect under Jingzhou. What qualifications are there to appoint Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou?
Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen died of illness and became the governor of Jizhou Yuan Shao, who also made a spouse. Yangzhou is 108,000 miles away from him. Yuan Shao can also appoint Pei State Prime Minister Yuan Zhong as the governor of Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is adjacent to Runan County. Yuan Shu thinks that Yangzhou is his back garden. Before he can make an appointment, Yuan Shao bypasses him. Can he be willing? Yuan Shu beat Yuan Zhong away in anger and appointed Chen Yu as the governor of Yangzhou...
The Yuan brothers completely regarded the world as their own. The elder brother accepted this person as the governor, and the younger brother ordered the prefect. However, Yuan Shu's ability was a little worse. Although he gave others official positions, his real territory was only Jiujiang County.
Because he doesn't take other people's territory seriously and is a little bit messy, some people who want to occupy one side will assume that they are his people, and they are willing to mess with him, and they are doing well.
Chen State is the frontier of Runan County. If Chen State is lost, Yuan Shu will directly face the three-sided siege of Nanyang County, Yingchuan County and Chenliu County. Liu Chong and Luo Jun instinctively believed that Yuan Shu would definitely support Chen State, but he did not expect that Yuan Shu would not support him and directly warned Chen State to release the people quickly, otherwise he would change to the Prime Minister of Chen State.
It is not logical, but Yuan Shu has no good idea. Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Zhang Xiu, and Gao Shun all put their troops on the border of Runan County. A spurt of gunfire will cause a big battle. All his energy is to guard against Yingchuan County. Nanyang County suddenly took action. Where can we mobilize troops to deal with the troops of Chenliu County and Liang State?
Yuan Shu knew that Liu Sheng was timid and afraid of death. He was worried that no one would worry about Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng sent his only son Liu Qi to explain, saying that peace means that Chenliu County does not want to start a war, but Chen State detained Liu Qi. Isn’t that just forcing Chenliu County to start a war?
If Chenliu County suffers a loss, how can Yingchuan County not follow suit if Liang Guo wears a pair of pants? If this starts, who can guarantee that a few guys will not continue to attack Runan County?
Yuan Shu was angry and sent someone to make peace, and at the same time, he pulled away the 200,000 stone of grain from Chen State. The angry minister Luo Jun cursed but could not do anything about it.
Liu Qishun returned to Chenliu County smoothly. Although the prefectures and counties in Yuzhou were on guard against each other, they were temporarily calmed down. As for Yuan Shu to continue to expand his troops in private... Dong Hu didn't care too much. For him, Yuan Shu was just an incompetent playboy, and he was still far from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's ability. The more troops, the more the people made Runan County miserable, and the more beneficial it was for him to successfully take Runan County.
Dong Hu became a wet nurse. I don’t know if Kuwa was worried that the father and son would not take care of Yinju, or he had the idea and brought his two sons and eldest daughter Dong Ying to the small courtyard and threw them all into his arms for enlightenment education.
With more children, he is more like a teacher. In addition to occasionally asking the people of Guanzhong, most of his energy is devoted to the children. When he received the "domineering" diplomacy from Sanya, he was both angry and funny.
What was so angry was that the descendants of the Liu family were fighting each other. The world was like this, and they could still fight each other. But before Liu Sheng and Liu Chong fought, there was a fight between Liu Sheng and Liu Dai, and even without them, there was still Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's rise was entirely due to robbing his own territory. From this prince to that prince, even if Tao Qian gave him Xuzhou, he could still lose it. Until he ran to Jingzhou, after Liu Biao died, he robbed the territory of the same royal family member, and then robbed Liu Zhang's Yizhou.
Liu Bei ran around here and there all his life, and did not grab any territory from other surnames... Even Hanzhong County was still a territory affiliated to Yizhou. In the end, he still grabbed Liu Biao and Liu Yan's territory. Thinking of this, he was not surprised that Liu Sheng and Liu Dai and Liu Chong had a confrontation, nor was he surprised that the world had reached this point, so why the descendants of the Liu family still had constant internal struggles, because the Liu family should be more careful about the Liu family.
At the same time, he thought it was quite funny. Liu Sheng was timid, so it would be nice if others didn't beat him. This time he actually clamored to take the initiative to beat Liu Chong, and probably he was furious by Liu Chong.
Of course, anyone who is forced to resist will definitely fight hard, not to mention that Liu Qi is his only son. Liu Chong held Liu Qi and refused to let go, wouldn’t he force Liu Sheng to start a war?
Although Yuzhou was nervous because of the two princes making trouble, the result was not too bad. He could also see from Zhang Miao that the focus of Yanzhou was still on the extermination of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and did not want to stimulate him to send troops at this moment.
"Three Kingdoms" is an era of conspiracy and intrigues. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated. Dong Zhuo dies and the world has entered the era of real hegemony. As long as Dong Hu is given a little chance, he will not hesitate to kill Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, and will never have any mercy on any princes fighting for hegemony.
The times create heroes. Even if Zhuge Liang is wise and as wise as a monster, if he does not give him the necessary conditions, he will only be as obscene as "Sure Zhongyong".
Dong Hu had long passed the admiration of historical heroes and awe of him. He would not be timid in front of anyone.
The task now is just to wait quietly, waiting for Cao Cao to reveal his most fragile belly, and then give him the most fatal blow.
In addition to staring at the situation in Yanzhou, Dong Hu also stared at Li Jue and Guo Si. He knew that the Liangzhou army would look like after it was out of restraint and did not dare to relax its restraint on the two. As for how they bullied Liu Xie and the ministers... he didn't care about such a thing. As long as they did not harm ordinary people, they could do whatever they wanted.
Since the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled, the grain prices in Guanzhong have been rising again. It was not until Dong Zhuo moved the capital that they completely lost control. When the big money was changed to small money, the grain prices reached a shocking point, but this is just a new script. Due to Dong Hu's intervention, although the grain prices are high, they are not as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan per stone of grain.
No matter how high the price of grain is, it has no meaning to the lower-class people in the war. When there is little grain, there is no money to buy it; there is too much grain... The lower-class people in the war cannot have excess food at all. The price has nothing to do with ordinary people. The only ones that have something to do with the rich are.
Prices soar and currency loses the credibility of equivalent exchange between goods. People will naturally abandon the copper coins trading model and return to physical exchange.
