Chapter 90 Lu Bu: Why do you think I messed with this food transporter?

When marching and fighting, it is most taboo to focus on one thing and lose another.

At this moment, although there is civil strife in Yanzhou in the rear, the entire main force of Cao's army is now in Xuzhou.

Now, most of Xuzhou is under the control of Cao Jun.

Although Cao Jun and Xuzhou are in a stalemate to contain each other, on the surface, Cao Jun still has the upper hand.

If the turmoil in Yanzhou hadn't made Cao Ying's people unstable, Xuzhou would be more anxious at this moment.

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao in front of him.

If the general is in a panic, it will naturally lead to instability in the morale of the entire army.

In times of crisis, he and Cao Cao must stabilize the morale of Cao's camp.

As for Xuzhou, there can be no chaos!

"Zhicai, don't worry, I will understand!"

The thoughts in Lu Bu's mind were a little confused.

In just a few years, the population of the entire Han Dynasty began to plummet like a cliff.

This time Lu Bu led his army to attack, and the Xiliang cavalry only carried enough food and grass for three days.

Dian Wei followed Xi Yu closely, looking at the fields not far away on both sides of the road.

Hao Meng, who was standing next to him, glanced at Lu Bu and saw that they only had seven or eight hundred soldiers left.

The remaining soldiers continued to go to Xuzhou to transport grain.

"The rainfall this year is somewhat lacking, and it has been so since the spring. I predict that there will be a severe drought throughout the next summer!"

Now the military rations they carry with them can no longer last until tomorrow. They must find a way to get food today.

When he was at the border, he often led his Xiliang army to gallop on the grassland.

Naturally it is an extremely difficult thing.

Hou Cheng beside him took the initiative to help Lu Bu hold Red Rabbit.

After this defeat, the Xiliang cavalry who had reunited did not suffer much loss.

As Hou Cheng spoke, Lu Bu nodded beside him.

Wei Xu couldn't help but feel worried.

Among the princes, no one wanted to create a career, and so did Lu Bu.

Seemingly noticing the swaying wheat, Dian Wei subconsciously asked casually.

He left some of his troops with Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and others, and then personally took some of them back to Yanzhou to have a look.

Although Chen Gong and Zhang Miao intended to cooperate with him, Lu Bu could still see clearly some things.

"These wheats that are growing well in front of us may not even be able to harvest even half of them during the autumn harvest!"

Without Lu Bu, they might not be able to control the huge Yanzhou.

According to Xun Yu's letter, Juancheng was impregnable, and there was no movement from Xiahou Dun who was stationed in Puyang.

After his arrogance was suppressed, Lu Bu, who was able to calm down, would naturally start to think more.

Hao Meng was stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Lu Bu meant.

Chen Gong and others also did not obey him. It is still unclear who is strong and who is weak, who is the master and who is the guest.

Hou Cheng also nodded at this time: "Jun Hou is right, hit the grass and valley!"

From the beginning to the end, Chen Gong and others only proposed to cooperate with him, not to submit to him.

Seeing that the other party suddenly started to move forward at a faster pace, Zhao Yun and the other village warriors were a little surprised.

If these people can jump out at this time, it will be better if they defect in times of crisis.

As he spoke, a group of Xiliang soldiers under his command followed suit.

Since leaving the border, he has almost forgotten that time in the past.

The news from Yanzhou was successfully delivered to him.

"Junhou, what should we do now?"

But now, what about food and grass?

Ensuring food for the 700 to 800 people is now a problem.

At this moment, Wei Xu felt that what Chen Gong said was correct.

"Please remember, if it is not necessary, do not hurt anyone's life!"

When Chen Gong mentioned that he and he would plot to capture Yanzhou together, Lu Bu opened his mouth and agreed.

Although now there are many fortifications such as waterwheels being built throughout Yanzhou.

From being a frontier general, I saw the prosperity of this world.

After Lu Bu's attack on grain and grass failed, he led his army to retreat.

This time he led the army to plunder food and grass, which was full of confidence.

Yanzhou is a big place, and there are many places where you can get food and grass.

"I think with Junhou's ability, even if it is limited, I am afraid that Xun Yu and others will not be able to capture Junhou in a short time!"

Lu Bu casually told him that he was not someone who liked to bully the weak.

Nowadays, food is the top priority.

He nodded towards Xi Zhicai. At present, Cao Cao had to settle Xuzhou first before he could lead his people back to Yanzhou.

Along the road, except for the traces of Lu Bu at the beginning, for more than a day now, Lu Bu seemed to have suddenly evaporated.

"Disaster!"

"Sir, do you think there will be another bumper harvest this year?"

After Xi Yu heard this, he subconsciously looked at the fields on both sides.

The entire Yanzhou gentry could easily rebel. Although he and Zhang Miao played a role in it, Lu Bu's figure could not be ignored.

"Getting food?"

A thousand Xiliang cavalry were finally missing.

Until now, for more than two days, Tan Ma has not received any message from Lu Bu.

"These Yanzhou people are of the same ancestry as me after all, and they are not the Huns who we can slaughter at will!"

"I heard that Yanzhou has had a bumper harvest since last year. Compared with other states, Yanzhou is now much more prosperous than other areas."

But for the current Han people, this is indeed like a disaster.

As a general, he naturally knows what he should do now.

Hearing this, Wei Xu frowned subconsciously.

Dian Wei, who had already fought once, no longer had the excitement of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

From Xiliang to Luoyang and Chang'an.

After Yanzhou is re-pacified this time, Yanzhou will have no worries in the future.

As for Xuzhou right now, he doesn't have anything to worry about.

Juancheng was safe and sound, and Xi Yu felt a lot more relaxed.

The Xiliang army couldn't speed up for no reason. The other party must have discovered something or had something important to do.

Even though Lu Bu had outstanding military strength, how could he escape from the siege unscathed?

So, naturally he doesn't want to.

This so-called rebellion could be eliminated overnight.

At worst, he could just take his men and fight back again.

Lu Bu was sitting upright on a boulder, and his originally shiny tiger-head armor seemed to have become dimmer at this time.

Zhang Liao felt uneasy, while Gao Shun beside him kept his face paralyzed.

If you have to rely on Chen Gong and Zhang Miao for food and grass.

However, Zhao Yun sent a letter telling him that everything went smoothly with his previous arrangements.

What's more, since Lu Bu was away this time, Wei Xu's status in the Xiliang army was much higher than his.

Hearing Hao Meng's question beside him, Lu Bu looked up leisurely and glanced at him.

Not long after, Lu Bu reorganized his troops and horses. Between the mountain passes, seven or eight hundred Xiliang cavalry quickly began to move along the road towards the villages and towns in the distance.
