Chapter 93 Xi Yu: After Fighting so Many Battles, Can't I Take a Break?

The wind from the south suddenly became stronger.

This wind seemed to want to blow away the bloody smell in the air.

However, the blood on the road had already soaked into the ground, and the bright red color was rippled by the whistling wind.

Perhaps a rainstorm can wash away the bright red in front of us.

But in today's world, there are so many red-stained grounds.

Although the rain can wash the ground clean again, it cannot change what happened on this land.

The baggage camp rested again, and Xi Yu did not pay too much attention to Zhang Liao and others.

After instructing Zhao Yun to take people to bring Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others back to Yanzhou, the soldiers of the baggage camp, under the command of Xi Yu, dug pits and buried the bodies left over from the battle.

Summer has come, and the bodies have been exposed in the wilderness, which is too much for the plague to breed in this era.

And for this era, the plague is almost fatal.

Until the sky gradually darkened, the remaining bodies had been dealt with.

Now that the troubles of Chen Gong and others have been solved, Xi Yu's heart can't help but relieve a lot.

Without Chen Gong and Zhang Miao and others, the remaining chaos in Yanzhou has no source.

Xi Yu doesn't care about those Yanzhou nobles who only know how to sway the wall.

The remaining things will be easier to solve after Cao Cao returns from Xuzhou.

Without worries, Xi Yu's mood has become particularly relaxed, and the entire baggage camp seems to be a little happier.

One night passed quietly.

Calculating the speed of Zhao Yun and others, Xi Yu led the baggage camp to start the journey to Xuzhou again.

In the evening of the second day, when Xi Yu and the baggage camp were resting on the official road, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came again from the official road in the direction of Xuzhou.

This sound was very loud.

It looked like they were marching in a hurry.

Such a big commotion made the baggage camp, which had just experienced a battle, react immediately.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere began to spread.

Xiyu also rearranged his clothes and walked out of the tent that had just been set up.

Dian Wei, who was beside him, had already held the double halberds in his hands, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Sir, it seems that the thieves are coming again!"

Dian Wei hummed, and he was not tired of fighting at all.

On the contrary, Dian Wei was full of fighting spirit at this moment.

Xiyu was a little speechless.

How could there be so many changes in the transportation of food and grass this time? First, Lu Bu led people to rob food and grass, followed by Chen Gong and others.

Now, who is it?

From Xuzhou?

Could it be the soldiers of Xuzhou, did they know that he was going to transport food and grass to Cao's camp?

Xiyu was not surprised to learn about the transportation of food, but this kind of thing still made him quite annoyed.

The sun was gradually getting dark.

Xi Yu ordered people to reduce the number of torches around, but the sound of war horses in the distance did not stop.

The scouts of the baggage camp went to inquire about the information of the people who came.

The entire baggage camp had already begun to be on guard.

In the hazy night, the surroundings seemed a little quiet.

The sound of insects in the distant fields was extremely obvious under such circumstances.

The atmosphere in the entire camp was depressing.

Until the sound of the returning scouts shouting loudly began to sound.

"It's a friendly army, it's a friendly army!"

What Xi Yu didn't expect was that it was Cao Cao who led the people from Xuzhou.

When they saw Cao Cao again, both sides seemed a little surprised.

Across the treetops in the distance, the slightly round moon was still hanging.

Cao Cao looked a little tired, as if he hadn't rested well for several days.

It was even more tired than the baggage camp that had experienced two battles.

Looking at Cao Cao in front of him, Xiyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Under the moonlight, Cao Cao was wearing a bright armor at the moment, and one hand was pressing the sword on his waist.

"Fengyi!"

Cao Cao shouted to Xiyu, and his fatigue was fully revealed in this shout.

"Look at my brother's face, I am a little worried!"

Cao Cao's appearance here now, it is obvious that the other party is worried about the situation in Yanzhou.

Xiyu didn't say directly that Yanzhou was no longer a problem.

He didn't remind Cao Cao of the matter of Chen Gong and others. When Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, the other party would naturally know.

If he said it now, Cao Cao might not return to Yanzhou this time.

Even this guy might take him to Xuzhou.

Seeing Cao Cao now, Xiyu actually planned to return to Yanzhou.

As for the matter of sending food, give Cao Cao a call and let Dian Wei escort it, or the people behind Cao Cao will deliver it back.

"How is Yanzhou?"

After seeing Xiyu, Cao Cao's tired expression finally eased a little.

At this time, he looked at Xiyu and asked without hesitation.

Seeing Cao Cao's hopeful expression, Xiyu immediately shook his head at him.

"It's stable for the time being, those Yanzhou nobles are nothing!"

"Brother, you should have known about the rebellion of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, right?"

Inside the temporary tent, Xi Yu and Cao Cao sat across from each other in front of a table. White smoke was slowly rising from the tea that had just been poured on the table.

"Why!"

Cao Cao sighed and looked at Xi Yu, feeling a little guilty.

He never expected that the friend he considered in his heart would choose to rebel at this time.

And it was precisely because of his relationship with Zhang Miao.

As a result, although Xi Yu had sensed something was wrong before, he upheld the relationship between the two and chose not to reveal it.

Until now, when things happen, everything depends on Xi Yu's previous arrangements.

If Xi Yu hadn't warned Xun Yu and others in advance, Cao Cao didn't dare to think what Yanzhou would be like now.

There is no such thing as Xiyu.

He is currently in Xuzhou, and by the time he realizes it, the entire Yanzhou may have become someone else's wedding dress.

And Yanzhou, which I believe has been working hard for more than a year, will have nothing left by then.

Perhaps, even he might not have a place to stay by then.

At that time, how to arrange the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command?

There is no supply, and coupled with the pincer attack from Xuzhou and Yanzhou, I'm afraid!

Cao Cao no longer dared to think that if it really came to that point, he would probably be like a lost dog.

And the reasons for all this are all due to him.

Fortunately, there was Xi Yu. Without Xi Yu, he couldn't imagine the result and how he should deal with it.

"Thank you Fengyi!"

"This time, I would like to thank you!"

Cao Cao saluted Xi Yu seriously.

For him to reach this point, Xi Yu is already indispensable to him.

And the other party's help to him cannot be ignored at all.

"Brother, there is no need to say thank you. There are some things that I should do!"

Xi Yu looked at the tea cup in front of him. The water was still warm and the tea was crystal clear.

The candlelight beside the two people was swaying, and the reflected figures were also swaying.

Cao Cao smiled.

"Fengyi, if something like this happens again in the future, no matter what, you must inform me in advance. No matter when, I will believe you!"

This was said with great force.

Xi Yu didn't care much.

Boss Cao just expressed his mentality, it didn't mean anything. If this happened to anyone, he would have expressed it.

"I have made arrangements before. Brother Wenruo and others are in Juancheng. The rear is fine. Brother, don't worry!"

"Seeing my brother in a hurry this time, I wonder what the situation in Xuzhou is like?"

Xi Yu explained to Cao Cao the arrangements in Yanzhou, and then asked him about the current situation in Xuzhou.

Knowing that Yanzhou was fine for the time being, Cao Cao began to talk about the situation in Xuzhou.

"As Fengyi said, our army cannot annex Xuzhou in one go!"

"Although Tao Qian is not worthy of attention, Liu Xuande cannot be underestimated!"

"What I didn't expect was that this person had only stayed in Xuzhou for less than a year, but he had already accumulated a lot of popularity!"

"Today, those Xuzhou nobles still regard it as a life-saving straw!"

"And Liu Xuande is also quite capable."

"The people of Xuzhou praise him very much. What we have done before has made Liu Bei successful!"

Cao Cao felt a little emotional.

Because of the existence of Liu Bei, today's Xuzhou has still become a hard nut to crack.

It cannot be captured overnight.

Cao Jun and Xuzhou Army were temporarily in a stalemate. Although they had some advantages, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short time to completely defeat Xuzhou and capture Xuzhou.

Of course, if he had to break his teeth and force himself to chew off the bone, it wouldn't be impossible.

However, if this happens, Cao's army will naturally suffer some losses, and I'm afraid there won't be any big war in a short time.

What's even worse is that just when Cao Cao was hesitant about this.

News of the Yanzhou rebellion came, which was a huge blow to Cao Ying.

On the contrary, for Xuzhou, it was like a shot in the arm.

Such changes made Cao Cao feel like he was in trouble.

I can't swallow this breath!

Zhang Miao, you really deserve to die!

"I have asked Zhicai to stay in Xuzhou this time. Cao Ren and others will listen to Hou Zhicai's orders!"

"Xuzhou is okay for the time being, but I'm more worried about Yanzhou!"

Yanzhou is considered his base, and there must be no problems in the rear.

Only when Yanzhou is stable and Cao Jun can deal with Xuzhou can he have no worries.

"Well, in this case, I will return to Yanzhou with my brother tomorrow. As for the food and grass, I will ask Dian Wei to send it to the front!"

Looking at Cao Cao, Xi Yu casually expressed his thoughts.

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded.

He had no objection to this matter. Leaving Xi Yu to handle things like transporting grain was overkill.

The other party followed him back to Yanzhou to deal with the affairs in Yanzhou, which made Cao Cao feel more at ease.

"Right!"

Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao, his voice suddenly paused, he stood up and looked outside the opened tent.

The moon was very bright, and while outside, waves of cool wind blew in.

Now that summer has entered, Xi Yu thought of the disaster that would happen soon.

Under a severe drought, I am afraid there will be large-scale disaster victims everywhere.

Now is the time to think about such things.

"Brother, have you noticed that it hasn't rained for a long time?"

"Um?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he suddenly said it was raining. The two of them were talking about Yanzhou and Xuzhou just now.

At this moment, why did Fengyi suddenly get involved in the weather?

Could it be that the recent weather will affect the war?

Thinking like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown. He stood up and walked out of the tent with Xi Yu.

The two stood and looked at the sky in unison.

The moonlight is very bright high in the sky, and you can see faint stars dotting the surroundings.

"It's true that it hasn't rained for a while. But Fengyi knows how to watch stars?"

"I guess I can!"

Xi Yu sighed, then turned back to look at Cao Cao.

"Brother, I predict that in the near future, a large-scale drought will occur in all major states, including Yanzhou!"

"Brother, prepare early!"

The Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred because at that time, the Han Dynasty suffered from drought year after year.

People everywhere can no longer survive, but the wealthy families do not pay any attention to the mood of these people.

It is precisely because of this that, under the leadership of Zhang Jiao and others, the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion was able to sweep the entire Han Dynasty in one go.

The people under the drought all just want to survive!

However, there are many weather changes in this era, but it is something that cannot be changed.

Xi Yu read some analyzes in later generations.

From ancient times to the present, the reasons for changes in weather have been very important in the last years of various dynasties and generations.

When the dynasty was at its peak, the population exploded.

At the end of the year, the population fell.

On the one hand, it was because of the war, but more importantly, in the last years, the dynasty at that time simply could not support so many people.

Weather changes are intensifying, and wars are a result of human beings' helpless consumption of each other.

"drought?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. It had not rained for a while, but Xi Yu suddenly said that a large-scale drought might occur in the near future.

Moreover, this drought still extended to the entire Han Dynasty.

For just a moment, Cao Cao thought of the droughts in various places in the years before the Yellow Turbans.

Refugees are everywhere, exchanging children for food.

Unable to bear it, Cao Cao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Fengyi, are you sure?"

"Brother, it's better to make plans in advance. The current situation in Yanzhou is that there are irrigation tools such as water trucks!"

"Although this drought is serious, I think the losses to Yanzhou will not be too serious!"

"But, because of this, there were probably not a few refugees from various places at that time!"

"Brother, this is also an opportunity!"

After a drought occurs, refugees will instinctively migrate in the direction where they can survive.

And by that time, places like Yanzhou will naturally attract more refugees.

Although these refugees will increase the burden on Yanzhou, they will also bring about a population explosion in Yanzhou.

Just wait until it can absorb these people.

In a few years, Yanzhou's millions of soldiers will not be any problem.

Following Xi Yu's prompt, Cao Cao quickly understood what the other party meant, and in just a moment, his eyes lit up.

"It's true as Fengyi said, we should nip it in the bud!"

The two of them didn't say much, and the night gradually began to get darker.

The full moon moved quietly, and in the distant sky, there were several calls of elegant sparrows in the middle of the night.

Xi Yu slept peacefully with the crows singing.

A night of silence.

The next day, light rose from the ground, and a fish-belly white color appeared on the sky.

Xi Yu got up early as usual, and Cao Cao also got up early this time.

At this time, Cao Cao's complexion had recovered a lot, probably because some of the worries in his heart had dissipated.

Xi Yu casually ordered Dian Wei to continue to Xuzhou with the baggage battalion, while he planned to return to Yanzhou with Cao Cao and his guard battalion.

The two sides separated soon after.

Cao Cao was in a hurry to return to Yanzhou, and his speed back was much faster than that of Xi Yu before.

Xi Yu didn't have any objections to this. Being able to return to Juancheng early was a good thing for him.

Once Cao Cao returns to Yanzhou, Cao Cao can handle all the remaining matters in Yanzhou himself, and there is no need for him to worry about it.

He can finally rest for a while.

The return journey takes less than a day.

In the afternoon of the second day, Cao Cao and Xi Yu had arrived outside Juancheng.

And as the news of Cao Cao's return with his troops came back, the situation in Yanzhou seemed to have begun to change in an instant.

…

One day before Cao Cao and Xi Yu returned, Zhao Yun had already escorted Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others back to Juancheng.

At that time, Xun Yu was worried that Chen Gong and others would take the initiative to attack Juancheng.

He was planning with Cheng Yu what kind of defense to adopt.

At the same time, Xun Yu was always paying attention to the news in towns across Yanzhou.

When he learned that Chen Gong and others led the Xiliang army to gather in the towns of Yanzhou, Xun Yu's heart was still hanging.

When Zhao Yun appeared outside Juancheng with Chen Gong and others, Xun Yu closed the city gate tightly and prepared to counterattack.

However, this was ultimately a misunderstanding.

Even Xun Yu and Cheng Yu found it difficult to accept the result.

Chen Gong and others were defeated in one fell swoop by Xi Yu with his heavy supplies.

This is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that all the princes in the world are afraid of.

In addition to this news, Lu Bu seems to have been repelled by Xi Yu, and now Lu Bu has fled.

Such news is really incredible.

But, it must be said that this is simply great news.

Originally, they were still worried about when the Xiliang Army would attack the city, but now it is gone.

While Xun Yufang and Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, they had to admire Xi Yu a little.

He was able to detect such a thing in advance, and even arranged Zhao Yun and others long ago, while they were still on guard.

Xi Yu delivered food and grass, and solved the source of the rebellion in Yanzhou at the same time.

This sounds like a dream that people don’t know what to say.

It’s like a dream that suddenly came.

It’s not real! -
