Chapter 171 Mr. Yuan who is going to rescue the disaster?
The scope of this drought is mostly concentrated in Qingxuyan and other Central Plains military states.
Originally, Hebei could rely on the land of Youyan in the rear to transport troops and supplies to support the army to go out.
But because Youzhou was captured by Cao Cao's generals, Yu Jin Mao Jie made a surprise attack.
Now the military food is not enough to support the front line, and it can only barely supply the needs of the Yanzhou army.
If not for this drought.
The Yanzhou army relies on Yanzhou's own harvests, so it's not like they can't send troops to fight again.
But now, the fields around Yanzhou City are almost dry.
Not to mention sending troops, it is already enough to ensure that the victims in Yanzhou can survive until the next planting season.
"Our army's rations are only enough for the Yanzhou army for one month at most, because we have to ensure the relief of the victims. If we want to send troops, we have to return to Yanzhou for half a month at most."
Zhang He's expression was quite serious, and he said in a deep voice.
Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, then said slowly:
"What if the harassment is mainly on a small scale?"
Jiang Yiqu and Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang below looked at each other, Jiang Yiqu clasped his fists and said:
"Prime Minister, if it is a small-scale attack, I am afraid that the effect will not be very obvious, but it will waste troops and food. If Cao Cao finds an opportunity to ambush, I am afraid that the damage will not be small."
After listening to the analysis of the generals, Yuan Shao hesitated for a while.
Youzhou and Bingzhou have already sent back letters, and the next batch of military rations is being raised, but it will be at least one month before they want to be shipped to the front line.
But the victims cannot ignore it either.
Don't think that the princes in troubled times really don't care about the lives of grassroots people.
At the beginning of the troubled times, that is, when the Dong was sought, there may be princes who do not value the people under their rule.
As long as you can recruit troops and fight wars, who cares about the life and death of your grassroots?
But now, times are different.
At that time, the princes didn't care about ruling the people because they felt that there was still hope for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
What does it matter to me whether the people under my rule are dead or not?Isn't this your emperor, should your court provide relief?Why should I take care of it?
But it is different now, the people under the rule are no longer the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they just bear that name.
After all, before discussing Dong, the princes still felt that the people under their rule belonged to the emperor Liu Xie.
But after discussing Dong, with Li Guo's rebellion, Liu Xie's escape, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, and a series of operations.
The authority of the Han Dynasty has completely declined to a critical point.
And the concepts of the princes have also changed accordingly, and the people under their rule are their own people.
If I do not do well, the people will flee to other princes, come and go, increase and decrease, and I will only perish.
Therefore, the victims must be rescued.
"Pity."
After a long silence, Yuan Shao sighed faintly.
The severe drought in the Central Plains has relatively little impact on Hebei. In comparison, Cao Cao's side is the real hardship.
If it is possible to attack now, it must be a great opportunity to destroy Cao in one fell swoop.
But now, I can only play the drums on the side.
However, this is not entirely a bad thing.
At present, Cao Cao is powerless even if he wants to rescue the victims.
Around Yanzhou, a large number of disaster victims gathered right now, most of them escaped from Cao Cao.
As long as Yuan Shao can provide a proper resettlement, after one or two years, these disaster victims will settle down under the rule of Hebei.
Cao Cao had no chance of turning the tables.
"Forget it, according to what the generals said, the march is temporarily suspended, but..."
Yuan Shao thought about it, but was still a little unwilling to miss this opportunity, and said:
"Small-scale cavalry, you can still send a faction, don't expect much damage, at least, if you can stop Cao Cao from gathering the victims."
Zhang He, Jiang Yiqu and others nodded knowingly, bowed and cupped their fists to accept the order.
But after Yuan Shao watched all the generals under his command leave, he realized this, stroked his beard to attract his followers, and said doubtfully:
"What is Tan'er doing now? Although he is taking a rest right now, with Tan'er's temperament, he won't stop coming to discuss major military affairs."
The entourage hesitated for a moment, still wondering whether he should report the truth, seeing Yuan Shao's serious face, how could he dare to hide it, he said hastily:
"Back to the Prime Minister, Eldest Young Master seems to have left the city with his newly acquired five thousand soldiers yesterday. It seems that he is going to the front line to see the situation of the victims?"
"Look at the situation of the victims?"
Hearing the return from his followers, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing.
How much his son weighs, Yuan Shao is confident that he can measure it accurately.
To put it bluntly, if Yuan Tan knew how to resettle the victims, then Yuan Shao's life would have been in vain all these years.
"I'm afraid it's not because I'm bored in Yanzhou. I want to go to the front to see if there are any fighters. It's hard for him to pull such a pretense."
Yuan Shao thought he had already guessed what Yuan Tan was thinking, so he nodded and signaled to retreat with him, and he didn't take this matter to heart.
There are not many people who have the same idea as Yuan Shao, even the generals in Yuan Tan's headquarters think that Yuan Tan just wants to go to the front line.
See if there is any chance to harass Cao Cao's army.
Yuan Tan didn't take the misunderstandings of the people to heart. Now he was sitting on Wuzhui Ma, bowing his head and contemplating how to help the victims.
Along the way, Yuan Tan finally understood.
The method of relief for victims these years is really rough.
It is nothing more than to gather the victims together, and then give porridge to hang their lives, so as to ensure that they will not starve to death, which is already regarded as a promising local government official.
As for more detailed disaster relief strategies, there are.
However, the current local officials in Yanzhou were all temporary appointments after Yuan Shao took Yanzhou.
Some of them are temporarily served by generals in the army. How do you know about these high-end operations?
So when Yuan Tan led his soldiers and horses to Baimajin, he bumped into Lu Weikuang whose head hurt so much that he wanted to hit the wall.
"What, the eldest son is here? Hurry up!"
The gate of the White Horse Jin camp was wide open, Lu Weikuang came trotting all the way, and led Yuan Tan's horse into the camp courteously, but his eyebrows were still frowned.
No matter how you hide it, you can't hide it.
"It's not the right time for the eldest son to come..."
Lu Weikuang sighed helplessly.
Having gotten along with Yuan Tan, Lu Weikuang also knew that this eldest son didn't care about those common etiquettes. After preparing a table that could barely be called a banquet, he wanted to raise a glass to toast, but he heard the return from his subordinates as soon as he raised the glass.
The person who came to report the letter spoke very briefly, but what he said made Lu Weikuang lose all interest in drinking. Depressedly, he put the wine glass on the table, and clasped his fists to plead guilty to Yuan Tan.
I'm about to leave early.
There is no other reason.
On Qingxu's side, a large number of disaster victims came again!
