In the summer and autumn of 202 AD, a sudden drought forced Gongsun Bai to stop his southward attack and devote all his manpower, material and financial resources to the relief of the victims of Yanzhou and the planting of potatoes.
In the counties and counties of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, in addition to retaining the necessary war preparation grain, the rest of the grain and grass were all transported to Yanzhou.
In addition to the grain and grass in the government treasury, the government also purchased a large amount of grain and grass from the people, and in the purchase of grain and grass, Gongsun Bai's eldest brother, the Zhen brothers, once again helped a lot.
As the richest merchant in the North, the Zhen family has more channels to buy grain and grass than the government, and the price is also fair, even if the merchants of the entire Northland dare to disobey the government and raise prices, they will never dare to play tricks in front of the Zhen family, unless they don't want to do business in the North.
A large number of horses were seized from the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and coupled with the opening of the mutual market, the government had a large amount of animal power in its hands, and it was naturally much faster to transport grain.
However, no matter how fast the grain transportation by land is, it will eventually have to travel through mountains and rivers, and it cannot compare with the waterway.
Bucket ships loaded with grain, set out from Liaodong, crossed the Bohai Bay, from the entrance of the Yellow River, all the way up the Yellow River, and transported them to the northern part of Yanzhou.
From Liaodong to the north of Yanzhou, it is thousands of miles away, but it has only been transported in a dozen days.
Regarding the disaster relief, Gongsun Bai's three strategists have different perspectives: Guo Jia, who has always been known for his on-the-spot improvisation, has been thinking more about the situation of military warfare; Pang Tong, who was born in a noble family and had good military and political talents, was more concerned from the perspective of political interests; And Xu Shu, who was born in a poor family, was a ranger and killed people as a teenager, and has been at the bottom of the society for a long time, is completely from the perspective of humanitarianism.
In any case, later facts proved that Gongsun Bai's choice was right, although he gave up the good war situation for a while, he gained far more than he lost.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the same has been true since ancient times, this trick Liu Daer used the best, so that the talents from all over the world came to vote.
Within a month, the famine in Yanzhou had been basically contained, and bags of wheat, potatoes and sweet potatoes were distributed by the government and delivered to the people.
Those desperate and almost desperate people, each family has been allocated thousands of catties of food, all grateful, Gongsun Bai as a god, and many villages have established Gongsun Bai's statue temple, come to worship and worship every day.
After Gongsun Bai occupied the land of Jizhou, it took two or three years to basically conquer the hearts of the people in Jizhou, but Rao is like this, there are still a few Wangmen scholars in Jizhou, and they secretly still miss the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.
And just conquered most of Yanzhou, Gongsun Bai only took a little more than a month to make more than a million living beings in the entire Yanzhou die for it, even those who have been prosperous for a hundred years, they are also convinced by Gongsun Bai's heart, and they will never dare to say that Wei Gong is not a word behind his back.
The army of Zhang He on the west road and the army on the middle road have already withdrawn their soldiers and horses, and they have made every effort to provide disaster relief and Tuntian, while the soldiers and horses of Gao Shun on the east road are still in Yanzhou, because only by occupying the entire territory of Yanzhou, can the disaster relief action be thoroughly implemented, but Gongsun Bai's righteous act made Gao Shun's eastern crusade meaningless, and all the counties and counties in Yanzhou have taken down the banner of Cao Jun and replaced it with the banner of Gongsun, and surrendered to the Duke of Wei.
Although not every city's guards are willing, but under the general trend, they have to bow their heads to Gongsun Bai, and they can't hold it in the first place, so they have a good reputation for the sake of the people, so why not.
Millions of catties of potato seeds have also been distributed to all counties and counties, and potato cultivation has been fully promoted in Yanzhou.
At this time, there were a few good rains in the sky, but this had no meaning for the wheat seedlings in the field like withered grass, so the people simply burned them all, and then turned over the ground and planted potatoes after the rain.
As long as we wait for three months, both the potatoes planted by the people and the potatoes planted by the army will be harvested, and the famine in Yanzhou will be alleviated.
A famine that swept Yanzhou was finally eliminated.
There were two major droughts in the history of Yanzhou, the drought in 194 made Yanzhou people forever jealous of Cheng Yu and Cao Cao, who used human flesh as their preservings, and the drought in 202 made more than a million Li people remember the great kindness and virtue of Sun Bai, the Duke of Wei.
In 202, on the outskirts of Xudu, autumn.
The fifteenth moon is extraordinarily round and extraordinarily bright.
It was late at night, and the fragrance of osmanthus came from the wind.
August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival, Reunion Festival, but at this time it is not a festival.
The sound horse behind the hillside neighed, faintly audible, but there was no one in the mountain, the moonlight shone obliquely in the mountain pavilion, the tall and burly shadow of Bai Yong standing in front of the pavilion, long projection on the ground, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, swallow jaw ringed eyes, bearded tiger whiskers, in the moonlight it seems that the outline is more obvious and prominent.
The famous white butcher is only famous among the people in the south gate of Xudu, and the most famous in the butcher world is Zhang Sanye, who is still a little worse than the name of the third master.
However, the white butcher who killed pigs at the south gate of Xudu would appear in the mountain pavilion on the outskirts of Xudu, naturally not an ordinary butcher, and he seemed to be a little restless at this moment.
Wan Chun, joined the army at the age of fourteen, became a commander at the age of fifteen, became a team leader at the age of eighteen, performed eye-catching in the battle of Puyang at the age of nineteen, and he was among the warriors who escorted Cao Cao out of the city.
Wan Chun has always been known for his bravery, and he is well-known in the army, and in recent years, he has been serving under Cao Ang and sitting in Xudu.
At this moment, although he took a leave, he was supposed to be leaning on the red and green in the Wanhua Building, and he was drunk.
Young and golden, drinking the strongest wine, playing with the most flavorful women, troubled men, as it should be.
However, at this moment, he was wearing a light shirt, covered with a white cloth, carrying a spear, and galloping on the mountain road leading to the mountain pavilion, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves was particularly loud on the empty mountain road.
The face of the white butcher in front of the mountain pavilion changed slightly, and his right hand was already tightly pressed against the long knife in his waist.
The moonlight is like water, the white-robed and masked Wan Chun has stepped on the moon, the horse's hooves have just stopped, Wan Chun has already floated down, and the long knife is pointed directly: "White Butcher" Before the words fell, the white butcher swept up like a big bird, and the long knife in his hand shook out a cold light in the moonlight, straight to Wanchun. while The two knives intersected, the sound of gold and iron resonating loudly, the two of them took a few steps back in unison, and then swung their knives at the same time, only to see the swords flashing, and the sneer of the blade tearing through the air was endless, and the two had already faced each other more than ten moves.
In the end, the long knives of the two pressed against each other, and they froze.
Wan Chun said hesitantly: "The white butcher's knife is quite sharp in killing pigs, and it seems that killing people is not good." ” Bai Yong said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, Cao Apu's father Cao Song has three sons, the eldest is called Cao Da, the second is called Cao Er, and the third is called."
Wan Chun said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it's called Cao San." ” Bai Yong seemed to be satisfied with this retarded answer, and asked again: "Why don't you call Cao Apu" Wan Chun laughed, tore off the masked towel, and said with a smile: "Because the lord said that Cao Apu was not born by Cao Song, but the old king next door." ” Only then did Bai Yong see Wan Chun's face clearly, he was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Wan Junhou is also a member of my generation." ” The two looked at each other and laughed, but the laughter did not stop, and in the middle of the mountain road, suddenly the sound of hooves was loud, and it seemed that there were more than a dozen horses galloping, and the two of them couldn't help but change their faces greatly.
Thundered More than a dozen white horses roared in, driving a slip of dust, and the birds and finches in the mountains were also startled, and they flew in the air in the bright moonlight.
However, in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so horsemen had already surrounded the mountain pavilion, and then there was a loud sound of crossbow machines, and countless crossbows aimed at the two people in the pavilion.
In the crowd, a person was dressed in white like snow, wearing a purple and gold hair crown, and a long sword hanging from his waist, Shi Shiran got off the BMW, surrounded by four black-clothed sword-wielding guards, and came up high, stopping in front of Bai and Wan, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura that soared to the sky, which made people shudder.
The two of them were intimidated by the man's momentum, and couldn't help but shout in unison and asked, "Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger" The answer was the black-clothed guard with a knife beside him: "Chicken stewed mushrooms, don't hurry up to meet General Yan Zhonglang" The two looked at each other in shock, and said in unison: "I am the Black Panther Wei Zhonglang, originally only under the jurisdiction of General Youzhonglang, although I received the Black Panther Order yesterday, but I must check the Black Panther Talisman before I can be convinced." ” The man in white smiled coldly, took out a swarthy iron talisman from his arms, and threw it to the two of them, who hurriedly caught it, and each took out a small corner of the talisman from his arms, and put it together with the talisman, and the sawtooth was completely consistent.
The two of them had no doubts, and hurriedly turned over and bowed down: "Meet General Yan Zhonglang." ” The moon passes in the middle of the sky, Xu Du.
In the courtyard of the house, the two stood opposite each other, dragging two long shadows under the moon.

The two are almost the same in stature, and their clothes are black and white.
More than a dozen fierce masked men lived around, either armed with knives or crossbows, all aiming at the black-clothed people, and a chilling murderous aura filled the courtyard, making the originally cold autumn night even more chilly.
"The black panther is here, the black panther is out, you are finally here" The man in black said lightly, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, and a smile appeared on his face.
The eyes of the man in white were like knives, staring at the man in black, his face was full of pain, and he said with difficulty for a long time: "You and I are fellow villagers, our village is separated by a river, and then our parents and villagers were slaughtered by the Xianbei people, and only the two of us went out to escape, and then the two of us went to be scouts at the same time."
Later, my newly married wife was also killed by the Xianbei people, and that day, I was going to find the Xianbei people desperately, but unexpectedly" The man in white paused, with a look of excitement and excitement on his face, and said slowly: "Unexpectedly, I met Duke Wei in Jiluo Mountain to destroy the Xianbei people, driving tens of thousands of Xianbei captives back, and since then you and I have both been under the command of Duke Wei and valued by Duke Wei."
I became the commander of Duke Wei's personal guard, and you were entrusted by Duke Wei with the important task of forming the Black Panther Guard.
In Wei Gong's heart, you and I are among his closest people, but you are smarter than me, and I am more stupid, so it is you, not me, who stand alone outside. ” The man in black remained motionless, like a sculpture, listening carefully to the man in white, and no one noticed the tears in the corners of his eyes.
The man in white paused, suddenly his eyes widened, his eyes were about to split, his tone became very excited, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the man in black, and roared: "Do you know, it is because Duke Wei believes in you too much that he will firmly believe in the information you provide, so that he almost fell into a place of ten deaths, although you later made up for it, but if it weren't for the battle of Xishan, tens of thousands of soldiers fought desperately and bloodily, if it weren't for the Tibetan tyrant's surrender, if it wasn't for the Taishi general's tricks to deceive Cao Thief, the big mistake would still be irreparable Even so, still sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, since the debut of Duke Wei, he has not tasted a single defeat, and he has not died in ten years of war, and so many soldiers have not died All of this is due to you, all thanks to you" After speaking, the man in white almost roared, grabbed the collar of the man in black and shook it vigorously.
The man in black remained motionless, letting him shake his majestic body like a straw, letting him grasp his collar until he was almost out of breath.
After a long time, the white-clothed man put him down, the look in his eyes became sharper, and he asked viciously again: "Why is this so, tell me why it is so" The man in black shook his head, and said with a bitter smile on his face: "Because I married a wife, and I just gave birth to a son last year, and he was chubby, but on the day he just got full moon, Jia Xu found my wife and children."
The man in white was sad and indignant, and asked angrily: "Wei Gong said before you formed the Black Panther Guard, your identity is not suitable for marrying a wife and having children, if you really want to enjoy the joy of humanity, you must ask Wei Gong to resign, Wei Gong should arrange another position, not to mention, for the life of your wife and children, you watched Wei Gong step by step into the trap of Cao thieves, and watched tens of thousands of comrades die on the battlefield in vain, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
The man in black turned pale and said with a wry smile: "You don't know, when fate comes, you can't stop it, and you don't know, no matter how the mood of being a father is, I am wrong about this matter after all, and I will naturally be responsible for this matter."
