Chapter 1091: Reactions From Various Parties

Just as Huangfu Chaobo was urgently gathering everyone to discuss how to deal with the Xianbei invasion from the south, allies far away in Bingzhou also gathered together to discuss the same thing.

Zhao Zilong sat in the hall, looking at everyone and said: "Alas, it's really a bad year. I just got rid of Lu Bu in the first half of the year, and I have only lived a peaceful life for half a year. I didn't expect to encounter the Xianbei invasion again. Is this a waste of life?"

The knight also looked helpless: "This is the risk of us being in the border area, otherwise it would not be our turn to control this place."

"Alas, it's a hard life. Tell me, what should we do this time? Is it to defend the city again? You know, it's almost September now, and there are still large areas of grain outside the city that need to be harvested. It's the season now. Should we throw all the grain to the Xianbei people? Bingzhou's grain harvest was not good. I have been living off my savings for the past two years. If there is no harvest this year, I will probably go bankrupt. "Zhao Zilong said with a sad face;

Since the grain planting time was adjusted in the game, the grain planting in Youzhou, the northern part of Bingzhou north of Taiyuan, and the northern part of Wuwei in Liangzhou has been changed to one season a year, that is, April 11-20 is the planting period, September 11-20 is the harvest period, and the basic output of each season is 300 kilograms.

In this way, the grain output in these areas is severely limited. Compared with the Central Plains, it is half less. However, the grass in these areas grows faster than that in the Central Plains and is more suitable for livestock. In this respect, it is a disguised compensation for the players, but the scarcity of grain is still a hard injury.

"What else can we do? Just fight! Or, just like before, hold on and retreat back to the city," Lao Du said, "As for the food, it will be harvested in a dozen days. I hope we can hold on until then. If not," Lao Du suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If I can't get it, these Xianbei dogs can't get a grain of food. When the time comes, I will order the cavalry to burn it all."

Lao Du's look made everyone gasp. Zhao Zilong said cautiously, "Lao Du, really...really burned it?!"

Lao Du rolled his eyes, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"No, no..."

"Bosses, I'm going to send a large army to block it..." Suddenly, the knight said, "In the past few years, after occupying Shuofang, the military advisor has been asking me to reinforce the two dangerous passes of Jilu Pass and Gaoque Pass. You should know that Shuofang's location should actually be quite Okay, it is surrounded by the Yellow River and the Wujia River, and to the north is the Yinshan Mountain. The most convenient route for the Xianbei people to enter Shuofang is the two roads of Jilu Pass and Shangque Pass. I have been reinforcing these two roads for several years, so I plan to use these two passes to resist the Xianbei people. At least I have to stop them after the grain is harvested. If possible, I suggest you try it too. "

Speaking of this, the knight opened the Bingzhou map he brought with him and said to the other three people: "The terrain of Wuyuan County is actually very good, and the boss Chaobo made some preparations at the beginning."

Speaking of this, he pointed to a place, which was the place where Huangfu Chaobo built Wujia River Town. It was a key road for the Xianbei people in the north to enter Wuyuan. Wujia River Town has completely blocked this key road. If it is not captured here, the Xianbei people will never dare to bypass this town and enter Wuyuan County easily.

In Wuyuan County, in addition to this important place in and out, there is another place, which is Manyi Valley slightly east of Jiuyuan City. However, unlike the knight who attached great importance to the two and a half passes, after Zhao Zilong occupied Wuyuan County, although he sent people to control the pass of Manyi Valley, he did not spend too much energy on repairing and reinforcing it. Therefore, if he wanted to defend Manyi Valley Pass, Zhao Zilong would have to pay a greater loss.

However, the knight's words were not without reason. Instead of giving up the grain he had planted for a year, he might as well take a gamble.

If he did not intend to stop the Xianbei people in the north of Yinshan Mountain, he should at least withdraw his troops after all the grain was harvested and stored in the warehouse. In this way, at least his year of work would not be in vain.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Zilong slapped the table and said, "Done, I will send people to strengthen the defense of Manyi Valley immediately, and at the same time order to speed up the harvest of the fodder, otherwise a large number of cattle, sheep and horses will starve to death this winter." Seeing that Zhao Zilong and the knight had made up their minds, Lao Du also said, "Okay, I'll do it too. Don't worry, Wujiahe Town will definitely not be lost within two months, and it is impossible to lose it before all the grain is harvested and stored in the warehouse." "Okay, okay, you are all crazy, okay, Lao Du, I will draw 1,000 infantry from each of the Bingzuo County to support Wujiahe." Finally, Xiao Jiejie had to speak out; "Okay, then let's get started!" Zhao Zilong stood up and said; The rest of the people then stood up and left, each returning to their own territory. As for Huangfu Chaobo, they knew that there was no way to help them now, and everything could only rely on themselves, and there was no need to think about Lu Bu in Bingzhou. The Xianbei people invaded the south on a large scale. The three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun in the territory controlled by Lu Bu were all targets of the Xianbei people's attack. Lu Bu was already preoccupied with his own affairs, so he had no time to pay attention to them.

As expected by several people, Lu Bu is now in a state of rage. He finally managed to deal with the two counties of Wuyuan, but he did not expect that the Xianbei people would invade in a large scale, and he had three counties in the north under the attack of the Xianbei people. As a result, Lu Bu had to gather troops again and prepare to lead his troops north to resist the attack of the Xianbei people.

Under Chen Gong's suggestion, Lu Bu immediately sent a letter to the six chief officers and generals of the three counties, including Li Feng, the governor of Dai County, Hou Cheng, the governor of Yunzhong, Qin Yi, the governor of Yunzhong, Song Xian, the governor of Yanmen, Wang Kai, the governor of Yanmen, Cheng Lian, and asked them to immediately shrink their defenses and withdraw all the people back to the city. As for the food outside the city, he no longer cared about that. At the same time, he ordered each county to send a large number of scouts to go deep into the grassland to understand the movements of the Xianbei army.

At the same time, Lu Bu ordered his adviser Chen Gong to stay in Taiyuan to assist Taiyuan Commander Wei Xu in stabilizing the situation in Bingzhou, and at the same time supervise Wei Dun and Zhao Gai to transport food and grass. He himself led General Zhang Liao and Captain Cao Xing and other generals, led 30,000 Bingzhou cavalry and 50,000 infantry, and quickly marched north to Yanmen County, preparing to support the three counties and repel the Xianbei's attack.
