With an army of 500,000 in action, the problem of food must first be solved.
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao naturally placed this issue on his case.
But Yuan Shao is a poor bum, isn¡¯t this an attempt to make things difficult for him?
This was the first problem for the coalition forces, and Yuan Shao had to reach over to receive the sword.
My head turned gray with worry overnight.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had many loyal advisers, but Yuan Shao whipped them up early the next morning.
Seeing that no one spoke, Xu You offered some advice and said, "My lord, this matter can be easily solved. How can we put all the pressure on my lord to do things like food?"
He coughed and continued: "In my opinion, everyone should mind their own business!"
Yuan Shao nodded. Although he is the leader of the alliance, there is no need to bear these pains.
"If you don't have money or food, don't raise so many soldiers and harm others and yourself!"
¡°As everyone knows, Yuan Shao himself violated the precepts
"This is a great thing to say, but as the leader of the alliance, my lord should point out a clear path for everyone!" Tian Feng said with cupped hands.
Tian Feng¡¯s words also make sense.
"It's fine if we don't provide free food, but we don't provide solutions. Doesn't it mean that the alliance leader is incompetent?"
Yuan Shao has had enough of the word "incompetent", so the next topic becomes making suggestions for his allies.
Currently, almost half of Yuan Shao's food is provided by Han Fu, while Sun Jian's food is provided by Yuan Shu.
When he thought of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but scold Yuan Shu for being a prodigal, and sooner or later the family's heritage would be ruined by him.
Um?
Yuan Shao suddenly remembered something, where did Yuan Shu's food come from?
He only had one county, but he had an army of hundreds of thousands, including Sun Jian's, it was already 200,000.
Jizhou is not poor at all, but it is not so wealthy either!
"What Yuan Shao can think of, of course his advisers can also think of it, and they have even inquired about it clearly.
"My lord! Why not let Dongyang Hou Liu Dingfang supervise the transportation of grain and grass?" Guo Tu suggested.
"What a joke! The control of food is related to the entire army, how can it be in the hands of hostile forces?" Chunyu Qiong retorted. He is a military general and can stand here because of his high qualifications.
During the period of General He Jin, the Han Dynasty set up the Eight School Lieutenants of Xiyuan, and Chunyu Qiong was one of them, as famous as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Later, he joined Yuan Shao and became a general under Yuan Shao, with a higher status than Yan Liang, Wen Chou.
But this time Yuan Shao wanted to hear Guo Tu¡¯s opinion, so he motioned for him to continue.
"Why is there no shortage of food in Yuan Jiu's army? It's because of the smuggling of food from Yangzhou. As we all know, Yangzhou is rich and there is no shortage of food at all. It is most appropriate for Dongyang Hou to manage the food and grass matters." Guo Tu blinked his little eyes and said.
¡°I heard that the yield of sweet potatoes and corns is extremely high. They came from Yangzhou and are now grown in Jingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, but they have not yet formed grain reserves.¡± Guo Tu further added.
Yuan Shao thought about it and thought it was feasible, but would Liu Dingfang obediently take out the food? He always had doubts about this.
¡°Since this matter was proposed by you, it¡¯s up to you to implement it!¡± Yuan Shao said to Guo Tu.
Unexpectedly, Guo Tu refused and said: "Lord, we have a more suitable candidate. What do you think of Xun Chen?"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he remembered that there was such a person.
Suddenly, a small light bulb lit up in his mind. It seemed that there was a counselor named Xun You under Liu Dingfang
Therefore, Yuan Shao agreed to send Xun Chen to find out.
Xun Chen came from the Xun family in Yingchuan, and he was Xun Yu's cousin and Xun You's uncle, so it was most appropriate to send him there.
So, Xun Chen found Xun You, first recounted the past, and then explained his purpose.
When Xun You heard this, he knew that Yuan Shao was out of his mind and tried to dissuade him: "Uncle, it's better not to humiliate yourself. My lord will not agree."
When Xun Chen heard this, he realized that this was indeed not possible, and he was not upset at all. What could he do about it by making innuendoes?
"Gongda, you must help me with this matter!"
This was an opportunity for Xun Chen to be reused, so he did everything possible to seize it.
"I can't decide on this matter. Uncle, wait a moment and let me report to the lord." Xun You said, cupping his hands.
It was easy for Xun You to meet Liu Ke, so he told Yuan Shao's proposal.
"This is what Yuan Shao thought"But the person who came here is your uncle. I will give you a face and tell Xun Chen to let Yuan Shao come and talk in person." "Liu Kedao.
Xun You burst into tears of gratitude, and then conveyed Liu Ke¡¯s request. When Xun Chen heard this, he only sighed.
This forced Yuan Shao to pay a visit, but for the sake of food, he endured it.
"Dingfang, how about you and I having a drink?" Yuan Shao said generously.
"Benchu, this is my camp, don't always think about eating and drinking." Liu Ke said with a smile.
Yuan Shao was extremely embarrassed, but he was very thick-skinned and quickly covered it up.
"How about we all work together for the Han Dynasty?"
"What I said makes sense, but I don't know why you came here this time?" Liu Kedao said, the meaning is obvious, finish talking about the business and get out quickly, don't drink tea, let alone think about eating and drinking.
"I would like to confer the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Dingfang, how about that?" Yuan Shao opened his mouth and asked for an official position.
"I wonder how this allied general manager compares to the Taiwei?" Liu Ke asked rhetorically.
Yuan Shao's smile faded, and Liu Ke didn't care. If you like chirping, then I'll beat you to death.
"Tell me, what benefits can you give me? Don't come with me for free!" Liu Kedao said.
Yuan Shao finally knew how difficult Liu Ke was, and he lived up to his reputation. But he still had some preparations, saying: "After entering Luoyang, you will have your choice of rare treasures!"
It¡¯s such a big deal. What if we can¡¯t enter Luoyang?
Even if you can enter Luoyang, Dong Zhuo has already looted Luoyang, leaving only an empty city. Choose your sister!
"Ben Chu, it's not that I don't give you face, but that you have been telling lies since you entered the door. If you come without sincerity, please come back!" Liu Kedao.
Yuan Shao murmured in his heart, usually those people are easy to fool, but when it comes to Liu Dingfang, it doesn't work anymore.
"Half a million gold! The Allies pay you half a million gold!"
"Okay, one more thing, Yangzhou commercial tax cannot be collected in the Allied territory!" Liu Kedao.
Yuan Shao instinctively sensed danger in this regard, but he still agreed and drafted the document, as if he was afraid that Liu Ke would regret it.
The general content of the agreement is that Liu Ke will be responsible for the food of a million-strong army, the Allies will pay Liu Ke half a million gold, open trade and prohibit the collection of commercial taxes.
Liu Ke would laugh in his dreams. Some luxury goods may not be easy to sell, but salt and iron will definitely be sold to the end.
Yangzhou has a large-scale salt drying field, and the salt produced can be supplied to the whole country.
As for anyone regretting it? Impossible, they really are just living off Yangzhou¡¯s 400,000-strong army.
And Yuan Shao is also laughing. Five hundred thousand gold can buy food for the army for a month at most. If the war lasts for several months, Liu Dingfang will have to pay for his pants!
