Liu Wei stood at the head of the city of Juxian County, looking at the hundreds of thousands of people with no vegetables under the shade of the trees outside the city, and raised his eyes to look south from time to time, looking forward to Mizhu's grain transportation team.

During this period of time, there have been frequent good news from all over the country.

In Jiaodong, Tai Shici and Zhao Kuangyin successfully annihilated the remnants of Yuan Shao and completely controlled the entire Jiaodong Peninsula in their hands.

Liu Wei followed Wang Meng's advice, and on the premise of retaining Donglai County, he took Gaomi as the place of governance, and added Jiaodong County, which governed five coastal counties.

With Wang Meng as the history of Qingzhou, he has full authority to deal with the government affairs of Beihai, Donglai and Jiaodong.

He also ordered Tai Shici and Zhao Kuangyin to raise troops to march westward and stationed in Yidu County, eighty miles north of Juxian County.

First, to block the choke point and prevent Yuan's counterattack on the Jiaodong Peninsula; Second, he formed a corner with the main force stationed in Xixian County, clamped down on the Yuan Tan army guarding Linzi, waited for the opportunity to take the entire Qi State, and pushed the battle line to the west.

At this point, the entire Jiaodong Peninsula was cleared, and there were no hostile forces except for a small group of bandits.

Liu Wei then ordered Zheng Chenggong to build a port on the Jiaodong coast where the fleet landed and set up the Qingzhou Naval Division.

However, due to financial constraints and lack of money and food, Zheng Chenggong's port construction progress was extremely slow.

In Yanzhou, Qin Qiong and Chang Yuchun were invincible all the way, winning all eleven battles and breaking the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

Successfully recovered the lost Rencheng State and Dongping Kingdom from the hands of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and recovered all the eight county towns under the jurisdiction of the two underground areas.

More than 40,000 Yellow Turban rebels were killed, 50,000 were captured, and 300,000 old, young, women and children were recaptured.

Rencheng State and Dongping Kingdom were the fiefs of the former vassal kings, and their geographical location was in the area of Jining and Zou Cheng before Liu Wei crossed.

The territory is narrow, there are only five counties under the jurisdiction of Dongping State, and there are only three county towns under the jurisdiction of Rencheng State.

Therefore, with a stroke of the pen, Liu Wei merged the two counties of Rencheng and Dongping, and set up a new Lu County with Qufu, the ancient capital with a tall city wall, which was still under the jurisdiction of Wang Meng, the assassin of Qingzhou.

In this way, the entire land of Shandong has been occupied by Liu Wei two-thirds, and through the Xue Li Corps stationed in Pingyang and Laiwu, Lunan and the Jiaodong Peninsula have been connected into a whole, and the territory has increased significantly.

The only thing that made Liu Wei unhappy was that Tao Qian, the old horseman, refused to give in to Langya and insisted on taking back Xuzhou.

In this way, the connection between Lunan and the Jiaodong Peninsula needs to detour to Pingyang and take the steep mountain road in the Yimeng Mountains, so that the transportation of materials between the two places will waste a lot of time for no reason "Tao Qian's old man Hugh wants to be rampant, and let you stumble for a few days to wait for Yuan Shao to repel Yuan Shao from Qingzhou, and then wave his army south, not only to recapture Langya, but also to annex the entire Xuzhou, so that the land of Qilu and the six counties of Jiangdong will be integrated" Under the powerful offensive of Qin Qiong and Chang Yuchun, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was defeated and retreated, and could only retreat to Shanyang and Peiguo.

The main army was stationed in Changyi and Peixian to defend the city, and the Han army was stalemate with the advantage of being outnumbered.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou was weak, Cao Cao decisively sent Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin with 30,000 people to leave Bingzhou and cross the Yellow River to march south.

Then quickly passed through Puyang, Juancheng, Dingtao and other places controlled by their own forces, and penetrated the back of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban from the west, hoping to take Shanyang and Peiguo in front of the Han army, expand their territory and strengthen their strength.

Now what makes Liu Wei feel a headache is not that Cao Jun came to grab the territory, but that Qin Qiong and Chang Yuchun continuously transported the captured Qingzhou Yellow Turbans back to Beihai every day.

So far, there are as many as 150,000 or 60,000 people waiting to be resettled in the city of Xixian County, and there is still an endless stream of old and weak women and children escorted from Lunan along the way, and there are still 178,000 people on the road Liu Wei's three strategic goals for marching into Qingzhou: first, to relieve the siege of Beihai; second, to repel Yuan Shao and take control of Qingzhou; Third, break the yellow turban and co-opt the population.

It is easy to co-opt the Yellow Turban population, but with such a huge number, it is really a problem to eat.

More than 300,000 people have been added at once, and even if they save money, they will consume five or six thousand stone of grain every day.

The transportation of grain and grass from Jiangdong to the land of Qilu is far and rugged, and it can be transported at least two months.

Seeing that the granary of Xixian County was about to bottom, Liu Wei and Wang Meng's mood became heavier and heavier, and they could only pin their hopes on Mi Zhu in Xuzhou.

Now it seems that it was really a wise thing to use Langya as a condition to "borrow" grain from Tao Qian The captured "Qingzhou Yellow Turbans" in Xixian should be called refugees to be precise, because almost no one wanted to join the Yellow Turban Army, but they were forcibly coerced by the rebels and then set fire to their villages, leaving them homeless.

Then they were forced by the rebels to become the "Qingzhou Yellow Turban".

In the face of these former people, Liu Wei, the son of heaven, must not stand by and let them fend for themselves.

Finding a way to solve the food problem is the biggest and most important problem facing Liu Wei at present Because of the lack of food, these people, who traveled more than 500 miles from Rencheng and Qufu to Xixian County, could only eat two meals a day along the way.

Along the way, there are not a few people who have died of illness due to physical weakness.

Standing at the head of the city, I watched the crowds of refugees gather under the big trees to peel the bark and pick the leaves, and satisfy their hunger.

In just a few days, all the tens of thousands of trees outside the city of Xixian County withered, and the discomfort in Liu Bian's heart was really indescribable "Since I am going to be the emperor, I can't let a large-scale famine happen under my rule, and I must do everything I can to help these refugees survive this difficult time."

Since coming to Beihai, Liu Wei removed the honor guard covered by the Huangluo umbrella, the people's livelihood is so difficult, how can he look at the hungry mayflies outside the city anymore, Liu Bian's heart is almost dripping blood.

He turned around and asked Beihai Juncheng beside him: "How much grain is there in the granary, and then give the people an extra meal every day, it's not a way to eat tree bark like this."

Jun Cheng said with an embarrassed face: "Back to Your Majesty, there are only 50,000 stones of grain left in the granary of Juxian County, which is the military food supplied to the two generals Wei Yan and Tai Shici, and they can't be used without permission."

The strength of the Wei Yan Legion was 40,000 and the Taishi Ci Legion was 25,000, and the combined consumption of the two legions was about 3,000 stone per day.

And there are only 50,000 stone of grain left in the granary of Juxian County, which means that Wei Yan and Tai Shici only have half a month's surplus grain, and the alarm of food shortage has been sounded, and this poor grain can indeed no longer be moved Liu Wei's face was like frost, and he asked Wei Jiang behind him: "Where has the grain transported in Jiangdong gone?"

"Back to Your Majesty, because of the continuous torrential rain in the Jianghuai region, I have been trapped in the Shouchun area and cannot move forward.

Moreover, this batch of grain 100,000 stone has been soaked by rain, and in order to avoid mold, it may need to be dried for a period of time after the weather is clear.

It is estimated that it will take another month and a half to enter Qingzhou," Wei Jiang replied with some frustration.

"Is it going to be a month and a half, it seems that I can't count on it in the short term" Liu Wei stood at the head of the city, let the scorching sun scorch, shook his head and muttered to himself, "Fortunately, Tao Qian agreed to borrow grain, with the 300,000 stone of grain sent by Mi Zhu, at least these refugees can last for three months, until autumn."

He asked again: "Where has Mi Zhu's grain transportation team gone?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the grain transport team from Xiapi has already passed through Langya Yangdu, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Beihai in about six or seven days," Wen Yang, who was in charge of the sentry line, bowed and replied.

"Fortunately, the life and death of the refugees are all pinned on Mi Zizhong, and there must be no mistakes in this batch of food."

Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction, and commanded Wei Jiang loudly: "I order you to lead 3,000 cavalry, and immediately go south to meet Mizhu's grain transportation team, and be sure to send it to Xi County safe and sound, and there must be no mistakes."

"No" Wen Yang agreed, and quickly walked down the city.

Three thousand cavalry were drawn from the garrison in the city, and the horses were spurred, and the smoke and dust were rolled up all the way to the south.

Liu Wei turned his gaze to Jun Cheng again: "Although there is a shortage of food, I can't watch starving mayflies die everywhere under Beihai City, and then allocate 20,000 stone of grain to the people, so that they can eat three meals a day to replenish their bodies."

Look at this hungry face with yellow muscles and thin muscles, how can I bear it in my heart" "Ah, if you allocate another 20,000 stones, the army's surplus food will only be left for about ten days, and the people will die of starvation, and the people will be small, and it will shake the hearts of the army, which is a big deal," the county admonished.

Liu Wei's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, the morale of the army is a major matter, but the life and death of the victims are also a major matter, how can human lives be expensive and cheap, and the surplus grain can last for ten days, and at that time, Mizhu's grain will be sent to the county seat of Xixian County."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "From today onwards, I only need two meals a day, coarse corn and rice with one dish."

Wei Jiang also followed: "The minister is willing to follow His Majesty's example and only use two meals a day."

Under the leadership of Wei Jiang, the Imperial Forest Army at the head of the city echoed in unison: "We are willing to follow Your Majesty's example and eat only two meals a day."

Liu Wei bowed his hand to the soldiers on the city wall 360 degrees and thanked him: "Soldiers, you have suffered with me."

He also summoned the envoy to come forward and issued an edict: instructing Qin Qiong and Chang Yuchun to capture the Yellow Turbans and the old and weak in the future, and not all of them should be sent back to Qingzhou, but to tell them the grim situation of food shortage in Qingzhou, and persuade these homeless people to go south to Jiangdong to seek a way to survive.

The government organized them to go to Poyang, Luling, Jian'an, and other sparsely populated mountainous areas to reclaim land and survive in the troubled times.

After the envoy went, Liu Wei was about to go down the city to stab the Shifu to deal with government affairs, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves and a crisp shout under the city.

"Your Majesty, I'm back, I'm back."

Suddenly hearing Yue Yun's return, Liu Wei felt a burst of joy in his heart, it could be that he would be able to see Kong Ming soon Covering his forehead with his hand to block the strong sunlight, he tried his best to look down at the city, only to see Yue Yun riding alone, and did not see the figure of Zhuge Jin and others, but carried a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl behind him.

This made Liu Wei couldn't help but be full of doubts: "This bastard boy, I asked him to accompany Zhuge Jin to find Kong Ming, how to get a daughter-in-law back What kind of do you want to do" A good activity for pie in the sky, cool mobile phone waiting for you to take the attention to the Chinese network public account WeChat to add friends to add the public account to enter, immediately participate in everyone has a prize, now immediately pay attention to the WeChat public account t1706231537:
