"Lord, for the sake of the present, we should advance eastward, take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, defeat the remaining Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, and pacify Yanzhou!"

In the big tent, Xi Zhicai bowed his hand to give advice.

During this period, when Xun Yu handled government affairs in the rear, most of the Cao army's battles against the Yellow Turban were Xi Zhicai's designated strategy and military strategy in the rear.

As he spoke, all the generals of Cao camp nodded and agreed.

Cao Cao laughed.

"Okay, Zhicai said it well. If there are too many changes today, we should not delay too long in pacifying Yanzhou!"

"This time, one battle will surely make a contribution!"

In the past six months, Cao's army and the Yellow Turbans fought one after another, with more victory than defeat.

Nowadays, the morale of the entire Cao army is in full swing, and the Yellow Turban, due to the autumn harvest and other reasons, the Yellow Turban has completely become the last of its strength at this time.

After the strategy was decided, Cao Cao planned to take the initiative to lead the army eastward. He led a group of generals to start chasing the Yellow Turbans.

Xi Yu naturally stayed. As Cao Cao's master, he has not been considered to have some official duties to handle until recently.

However, there are not many official duties, so it is easy to deal with.

Xun Yu sat in the rear to coordinate the food and grass.

In the following days, Xi Yu's days still did not change much.

Until, more than ten days later, the news of Cao's victory over the Yellow Turbans came back.

Just like in history, at the end of September, Cao Cao led his troops to defeat the remaining Yellow Turban main force in Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

After this battle, the entire Yanzhou was completely pacified.

Cao Cao also unknowingly gathered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in the battle of the Yellow Turbans in the past six months.

Even in the last battle, he gathered 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in one breath.

At this moment, Cao Cao had already occupied 400,000 troops in the entire Yanzhou territory.

After half a year of war, Cao Cao became rich in one breath.

After gathering more than 300,000 Yellow Turbans, even the soldiers in Yanzhou, their attitude towards Cao Cao began to change completely.

Immediately afterwards, there were many people who came to serve Cao Cao in a short period of time.

At the end of September.

When Cao Cao led his army back, the 400,000 army was of course a happy event for Cao Cao.

However, something even more troublesome followed and appeared in his mind.

food!

He only cared about swallowing more than 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in one breath, but ignored the most important point.

That is food.

The Yellow Turban Army could not afford the Yellow Turban Army. Even though he had already cut some of them, there are still more than 300,000 soldiers now.

Cao Cao naturally couldn't bear to let go of these people.

However, even if the autumn harvest is bumper today, the food and grass supply to the 400,000 army may not last long.

After this winter, if there is no source of food and grass, it may take less than a year for these more than 300,000 Yellow Turbans to collapse.

Even he would be dragged down.

For more than a month, Cao Cao was almost unable to sleep.

As time moved from late autumn to cold winter, as the consumption of 400,000 soldiers began to become less and less food.

Changyi, in Cao Cao's Mansion.

As the late winter approaches, it will probably snow in the weather soon.

Cao Cao's worries were even more serious.

In the back hall, Cao Cao, who was baking a stove, couldn't help but sigh.

"Wenruo, how long can the food and grass in our army be supplied at the moment?"

As Cao Cao asked, Xun Yu, who was sitting next to him, raised his head.

"Back to the lord, our military food and supplies can probably last until April next year!"

This is something that Xun Yu carefully compressed and counted.

The whole Yanzhou has to eat not only for 400,000 troops, but also for the families of these soldiers, and the food and grass are consumed very quickly.

"April!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath, could he have to last until April?

Even if you plant in winter and spring, you will have a few months to go through the harvest, and it will be too late.

It's too late!

Of course, there is no delay in spring planting.

He subconsciously glanced at the brothers of the opera family next to him.

Now there are only four of them in the entire back hall. Xi Yu, as the leader of Cao Cao, is naturally present.

Xi Zhicai frowned, and the lack of food was very obvious.

Moreover, what Xun Yu calculated was the situation where these soldiers reduced their training!

But how can the training of soldiers be reduced?

If the situation changes today, if you are not careful, foreign enemies may attack you.

Now that pacifying Yanzhou is just the first step in the plan, the next step is to start developing.

At this time, naturally, we cannot let the food and grass be removed from the chain.

Xi Yu didn't speak. He knew that Cao Cao in history had asked his big brother Yuan Shao for food and supplies during this skill.

Now Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, and Yanzhou is next to him.

Cao Cao lives here, and in Yuan Shao's opinion, Cao Cao is still his younger brother.

Of course, Yuan Shao would not do anything about giving food and supplies for free. Perhaps only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao themselves knew about the entanglements.

As Xi Yu lowered his head and thought, Cao Cao's eyes had already fallen on him.

"Wangyi, do you have any plans in your heart?"

Cao Cao just asked casually, and didn't think that Xi Yu could give him any good answer.

However, when Xi Yu heard Cao Cao's question, he subconsciously responded.

"Lord, this year, not only Yanzhou has a bumper harvest, but most of the places where there are spring plowing in the Han Dynasty will have bumper harvests!"

After several consecutive years of disaster, this year has encountered good weather.

"Yu heard that Jizhou has also had a good harvest!"

Today, Jizhou is the number one state in the Han Dynasty. With this bumper harvest, the entire Jizhou is not short of food at all.

What's more, Yuan Shao is still standing behind the Hebei Zhen family, and the other party thinks that he is not short of food.

As soon as Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.

Jizhou?

Yuan Shao?

In just a moment, Cao Cao understood that Xi Yu asked him to ask Yuan Shao for food!

This matter is easy to deal with.

His relationship with Yuan Shao is still very good now. His previous prefect of Dongjun was also reported by Yuan Shao.

"Haha, Fengyi woke me up. I can borrow some food from Yuan Benchu. I think he won't refuse."

"After that, I was sending people to other states to buy some food, and I think the problem should not be big!"

After thinking it through, the depression accumulated in Cao Cao's heart spread a lot.

"Now, it's the beginning of winter and spring plowing. What are the good plans for everyone?"

Where can I get food from Yuan Shao? I think it will be easy to keep up with the autumn harvest next year.

However, the most important thing next is the spring plowing matter. Once there is a problem with the spring plowing problem, the 400,000 army will become a disaster.
