In this way, Youzhou would be equivalent to using a million troops! However, in Liu Bin's view, he now owns half of the three states (Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and half of Qingzhou brought by Guan Hai after Guan Hai surrendered!) The population has exceeded 15 million. In addition, he can still afford to support it! Moreover, if the local area needs to guard the troops, it will not be a small number. Moreover, Youzhou still needs to have some troops that can be launched! It is natural to have a million troops!

While Liu Bin issued this order, he also announced the updates of the Youzhou army in the next stage! It turned out that the troops from all over the country returned to various places! The newly joined soldiers were assigned to the brother's army after training! As for the defense of Jizhou, Liu Bin handed over to Zhao Yun. Liu Bin left Zhao Yun with 200,000 men and appointed him as the commander of the Jizhou army group! In this way, the Youzhou headquarters had 200,000 troops, including the commander of Zang Ba, Bingzhou, Huang Zhong, Jizhou with 200,000, and Zhao Yun! 150,000 in Liaodong, and Zhang Fei! 50,000 in Qingzhou, temporarily with the commander Guan Hai, and 100,000 on the grassland, and Guan Yu! Among them, the headquarters of Qingzhou is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Youzhou headquarters. The total number of troops is 900,000!

In order to facilitate command, Liu Bin simply adapted the army! The army of Youzhou headquarters is called the Central Army. The Jizhou Legion led by Zhao Yun is the Zhennan Army, and Zhao Yun is the Zhennan General! The Bingzhou Legion led by Huang Zhong is the Zhenxi Army, and Huang Zhong is the Zhenxi General! The grassland Legion led by Guan Yu is the Zhenbei Army, and Guan Yu is the Zhenbei General! The Liaodong General led by Zhang Fei is the Zhendong Army, and Zhang Fei is the Zhendong General! Zang Ba and the four towns are in the same row! In this way, the five major field army systems under Liu Bin were officially formed! Plus the Youzhou Navy with 150,000! There are a total of 1.05 million troops in Youzhou!

As for the situation in Bingzhou, after all the people of the Bingzhou Legion were in place, Chen Bingzhou's troops were at Dong Zhuo's troops on the Bingzhou border. Liu Bin had already brought his men back. Now Bingzhou is strong and powerful! When Dong Zhuo saw the military appearance of Bingzhou, he was frightened and retreated in shame with his army! The Bingzhou Legion was a little tired after several months of war. In addition, it was not the time to fight with Dong Zhuo, so he did not pursue them, allowing Dong Zhuo's army to retreat safely!

Zhao Yun is now a new official! He has always wanted to prove himself to others, but now he has finally achieved it! He has become the commander of one of the five field armies of the Youzhou Army! However, Jizhou has not yet been completely settled, and there are still many things to deal with. Zhao Yun's excitement in taking office has also been stumbling over these cumbersome affairs! However, when Jizhou was the most fragile, Cao Cao was also ready to move.

Cao Cao was ready to move, and that was a helpless move that he had to do. Cao Cao was originally a relatively deep hero with great ambitions. However, now Cao Cao was forced to breathe by his sudden surge in strength. It was like a person who had been hungry for a long time, and after a sudden overeating, he had indigestion and was uncomfortable. Originally, Cao Cao developed well when he was in Yanzhou. Although he had more than 200,000 troops, it was within the range that his economic strength could support. However, he shouldn't have. He shouldn't have been. In order to minimize losses and quickly expand his strength, he asked Xi Zhi to recruit Bai Rao's army of more than 300,000.

Bai Rao's people are not good men and women, they are all desperate people who survived countless bloody storms. They are even more difficult to manage than the Black Mountain Army that Liu Bin took over. After all, the Black Mountain Army was strictly trained by Zhu Feiyan, and its discipline and other aspects are much stronger than the unorganized and undisciplined mobs recruited by Cao Cao. Moreover, because the Black Mountain Army has the secret support of Youzhou, the big financial backer, they are even more pure in quality than these troops who have broken through the Japanese by smashing, smashing and robbing. After all, after all, some military habits are not so easy to change.

Therefore, after Cao Cao took over this army, the difficulties he had to face were much greater than those encountered by Liu Ming at the beginning. Fortunately, Cao Cao was much more cruel than Liu Ming. He would kill him if he didn't accept it, and would kill him if he made mistakes. After a series of drastic killings, and with some rewards from Cao Cao at the appropriate time, Cao Cao could finally command the troops easily.

Of course, this is also related to the system of Cao Cao and Liu Bin leading troops. Liu Bin requires all soldiers to have their own opinions and only obey Liu Bin's orders and the commands of generals with temporary command. Cao Cao only controls the generals who lead the troops, making these generals loyal to him. In this way, the superiors and inferiors are divided, and it is of course much less difficult for Cao Cao to control a unit. However, even so, Cao Cao still has one biggest problem that cannot be solved. That is the problem of military rations. Military pay can be temporarily not paid. However, military rations cannot be left alone for a day. Soldiers who cannot eat enough, let alone fight for you and go to fight to kill the enemy, and do not immediately rebel, it is God's favor.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was able to support more than 200,000 troops in Yanzhou and still have some surplus. That was Cao Cao's imitation of Youzhou's system of farming and raising troops and building water conservancy. He could attract enough people to stay in Yanzhou to survive and generate enough surplus military rations.

But now, although Cao Cao has taken over Sili, the production situation in Sili has been completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo. Even the most basic production units, the people living here, were mostly taken away by Liu Bin's Youzhou. Now the people who stay here are just some old men who are reluctant to leave their hometowns. These old people are living here. It's like dreaming to expect these people to pay the grain and taxes for Cao Cao and feed the troops for Cao Cao. Moreover, the soldiers Cao Cao has been recruited are too bandits. It would be better if Cao Cao takes care of them. If they put them back, or gather together to farm, they would not immediately become bandits. Therefore, Cao Cao could only take these people into his hands and manage them.

In addition, even if Cao Cao can put all these people into the folk farming, no one will be able to grow immediately. It will take time to plant it, but Cao Cao's family is poor. The surplus grain in Cao Cao's hands can no longer support it for a few months. Do you think Cao Cao can't be anxious? Now Cao Cao's eyes are almost blue. It's like a hungry wolf, and everyone wants to bite it. There are two words in his mouth all day: grain.

Cao Cao's confidants understand this pressure from Cao Cao. However, no one has any better way to do this natural disaster. After all, no one is a god and can turn food out empty-handed. However, after all, Cao Cao's subordinates still have talented people, and not all have no choice but to do anything. But the strategies they came out are a bit bad. Almost all of them are short-term operations.

For example, due to his own background, Xi Zhicai offered Cao Cao a plan: "Cao Gong, Sili is now uninhabited for thousands of miles and is uninhabited for a hundred miles. With such an environment, we can't provide us with more surplus grains. So we can only find a way to get the source of this grain from Yanzhou." Cao Cao, who was about to be driven crazy by the food problem, said excitedly at the time: "What do you say? Should we increase taxes or impose? However, we once said first. If we do this, wouldn't we ruin our promise? Otherwise, let's borrow it for the time being and return it next year?" Cao Cao also thought a lot about this problem. As soon as Xi Zhi mentioned it, Cao Cao came up with a lot of ideas.

Xi Zhicai laughed: "Hey. Mr. Cao's words are bad! People can't stand without trust. This is even more so in troubled times. If we make our promises, then what people will believe us and rely on us in the future? How can other heroes believe our promises to them? Besides, in this way, it will also self-destruct our shortcomings and easily cause other princes to spy on them. Besides, even if we ignore them, we only want to deal with the crisis in front of us. But how much surplus food does the poor people have? I'm afraid that even if they starve to death, they will not be able to support so many of our troops. Instead, we will be able to harvest in the autumn next year."

Cao Cao said in disappointment: "Since it doesn't work, what's the point of attacking Yanzhou? Our Yanzhou grain warehouse is almost empty." Xi Zhicai said calmly: "Duke Cao, although our Yanzhou granary is almost empty, and we cannot make our promises and make the people's ideas. However, there are still many wealthy clans in Yanzhou. They have great families and are all rich people with a lot of money and food. As long as we can give them some charges and then confiscate their property. At that time, not only will our military ration be available, but our military pay will not be worried."

Cao Cao said hesitantly: "When these families welcomed me to Yanzhou, they all made great contributions. And they have not violated any laws and regulations now. How can we cure their crimes? Besides, these families are all deeply rooted families. It is probably not easy for us to touch them?" After hearing this, Xi Zhi sneered: "Cao Gong, these families welcomed us to Yanzhou, which is just for their own interests to avoid losses. Why should we bear their love? As for giving them a crime, it would be even simpler? Why would there be no trouble to add a crime? Besides, with these rich families with great families, how could they have no guilt at all?" Xi Zhicai was also a ruthless person. Like Cheng Yu, he could do whatever he wanted to achieve his goal!
