After arriving at the Prefect's Mansion.
Liu Qi also somewhat understood why Yuan Shao gave up Dongjun directly.
When Guo Jia and others came back to report, he was able to confirm that a mess was left for him to deal with.
"Lord, there are no traces of Yuan's army in the city.
They have all been evacuated from the city," Huang Zhong said. but, What Guo Jia reported was a bit surprising.
"Lord, according to the people in the city, Yuan Jun left the city last night."
"However, the evacuation of 50,000 Yuan's troops also took away all the grain and supplies in Dongjun, leaving only half a day's food for all the people.
Even some nobles who refused to leave were robbed of their money, No food was left.”
"In other words, the people in the city only have half a day's food left.
If there is no food, there may be chaos."
Guo Jia told the news that he and Jia Xu got among the people.
Hear the words.
Everyone in the hall of the Prefect's Mansion was stunned for a moment, and then they all became angry.
This was no different from massacre of the city.
Without food, what would the countless people in the city rely on to survive?
It would be more than just chaos.
Liu Qi also frowned.
He also knew why when they entered the city, the people looked at them as if they were plague gods, with expressions of resentment and disgust.
Because of the arrival of the army led by him, the people in the city and the basis of their lives were taken away by Yuan Jun.
It is not unusual to have resentment.
He rubbed his head.
He didn't expect that Yuan Shao would do such a great job.
Once the people ran out of food, he could guess what would happen without even thinking about it.
You must know that the most fundamental reason for the Yellow Turban Rebellion was that the people could not afford to eat and were oppressed, so they had the intention to overthrow the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Either way, they would die, so it would be better to do it more vigorously.
Even if the Yellow Turbans changed in the end, the fact of the uprising cannot be denied.
"My lord, my subordinates are calling for a fight.
We only need ten thousand cavalry to catch up with Yuan's army and bring back the heads of Yan Liang and Shen Pei."
Huang Zhong stood up and said.
With a look of anger on his face, he wanted to leave now.
"Subordinates request a fight" "Subordinates request a fight" All the generals stood up.
It was obvious that Yuan Jun's behavior made them very angry.
The most basic thing is that the two armies fight without harming the people.
However, this time, Yuan Jun confiscated all the food of countless people in the city, completely ignoring the life and death of the people in the city.
They didn't even want to think about the people in the city.
How is this kind of behavior different from that of the Huns?
Liu Qi waved his hand to stop the angry generals.
He was also angry in his heart, but he also knew that even if he chased after them, he would not be able to get back the stolen food.
What Yuan Shao did was obviously to consume the food and fodder of his army, but he had to do it.
Now that we know it, it is of no use.
If we had attacked directly yesterday and left Yuan Jun behind, we might have left behind some of the looted grain and grass.
Now it is already too late.
He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He, how much food does our army still have now?"
Hear the words.
All the generals stopped talking, but angry expressions were still on their faces.

"Back to my lord, the second batch of food and grass has not arrived yet.
Now the army only has half a month's food and grass left.
If we help the people in the city, it can only last for ten days at most, and all will be consumed."
Jia Xu said with cupped hands. .
Knowing the situation in the city.
He had already discussed it with Guo Jia, and knew that in the end Liu Qi would definitely want to use the army's food and grass to support the people in the city.
Moreover, it has only been a short time since the food was mature and harvested.
Even the food grown by the people in the city will take half a year to mature.
As a result, this is a huge expense.
With their nearly one-year inventory, they were no longer able to support the expedition to Jizhou.
However, he didn't say this out loud.
Even if he didn't say it, he would still know it, and even if he did, Liu Qi would still do it.
"The army stopped in Dongjun.
The lieutenants of the army halved the food for each meal and distributed half of it to the people in the city.
They sent people to rush back to Jingzhou and sent the second batch of food and grass.
Wen You was asked to distribute the food and grass evenly from place to place.
Send it as soon as possible.
In this way, the current predicament can be alleviated."
Liu Qi pondered for a moment and ordered.
"But my lord, this is what happened," Guo Jia said.
It's not that he is unwilling, but in that case, their army will have to stay here in Dongjun and will be unable to continue fighting.
This is a difficult multiple-choice question.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "Do as I say.
As long as you hold on for a month, the matter will be resolved."
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone was a little surprised and didn't understand what Liu Qi meant.
They also know about food and grass.
Even if they have a year to recuperate, their food and grass are enough to support the army to conquer Jizhou, and now they are supporting the people in Dongjun City.
There is no longer a rich place for food and grass, and there is no place where food and grass can be found.
"Yuan Shao thought that he could use this to keep our army in Dongjun, but he forgot that Jizhou is also a place where grain and grass are abundant.
As long as Yecheng can be captured within a month, the grain and grass issue will be solved."
Liu Qi said.
Yecheng is a good place.
The most important thing is that there is a wealthy businessman in Yecheng who is richer than him, and that is enough.
Hear the words.
Guo Jia and others' eyes also lit up.
They also thought of Liu Qi's intention, which was to seize the territory of Jizhou to make up for the shortage of food and grass. but.
"But my lord, Yuan Shao has also strengthened his defenses in Jizhou.
Once our army sets off, Yuan Shao will definitely know that as long as they intercept our army and wait until the food and grass are exhausted, they will be able to win.
How can our army quickly defeat them?"
"How can we take Yecheng?"
Guo Jia asked. , He could also think that if he could capture Yecheng, he would indeed be able to solve the current predicament, but how could Yuan Shao not think of it.
Since he could think of such a strategy, there would definitely be an arrangement.
As long as they hold on and wait for their food and grass to be exhausted, they will be able to win, and they may even take the opportunity to attack.
"It is true that it is easy to be discovered when a large army is setting out, but if we only mobilize thousands of troops and follow the trails, it will not be easy to be discovered.

As long as we take Yecheng by surprise and quickly capture it, Yuan Shao will be unable to stop our army.
"The pace" Liu Qi said with confidence flashing in his eyes.
Capture Yecheng and win over the wealthy merchant's family.
At that time, those who wanted money and food would be able to declare that Yuan Shao's plan had failed.
Guo Jia and others looked at each other.
Now this is the only way, and it is the best way.
He responded: "No" "Lord, my subordinates are asking for a battle.
We only need five thousand soldiers and horses, and we will be able to capture Yecheng quickly," Huang Zhong continued.
The other generals are also ready to make a move.
"This time, I will personally lead the army," Liu Qi said.
"My lord, no" Guo Jia and others were shocked.
After all, entering Jizhou alone was no small matter.
"I have made up my mind" Liu Qi did not give everyone a chance to refute.
After all, Yuan Shao's disregard for the lives of countless people this time also made him very angry
