Xun Yu couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this scene, Xi Yu stopped talking.

He looked at Xun Yu and seemed to notice something. He stood up and walked towards Xun Yu.

"Brother, are you in trouble?"

Xun Yu raised his head and handed the letter in his hand to Xi Yu.

"The rivers were washed away by the previous heavy rain. The grain road transporting from Yanzhou to Xuzhou is now full of mud. Now our army's food road can no longer be transported!"

Xun Yu frowned.

This heavy rain washed away the river channel, which was a bit unexpected for him.

At the same time, the entire grain road between Yanzhou and Xuzhou has become impossible to transport.

Before long, Cao Cao and others at the front will be unable to continue their campaign against Xuzhou due to lack of food and grass.

Once there is a problem with food and grass, if Xuzhou launches a counterattack, the dozens of towns that Cao Cao and others have captured may be in vain.

If Cao Cao and others do not retreat by then, they may be dragged down by Tao Qian and others in Xuzhou.

This is extremely detrimental to the development of Yanzhou.

"Is there something wrong with the grain channel?"

Xiyu turned over the letter in his hand and was a little surprised.

In the original history, when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, there seemed to be no problems with food supply.

Of course, Cao's army had problems with food and grass in history.

On the other hand, the original Cao army was not like it is now, conquering one place and governing the other.

Instead, they directly captured more than ten towns in one go. The reason for this was naturally because of the shortage of food and grass, so they were forced to speed up the attack.

Of course, everything has changed now.

The original records of the historical grain road are no longer important.

At present, Cao's army has plenty of food and grass. If this expedition fails due to transportation reasons, it will be somewhat of a blow to Yanzhou.

Xi Yu, who understood this, couldn't help but frown.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xun Yu: "Brother, does our army have no other food channels?"

Xun Yu shook his head subconsciously.

To be precise, there is only one grain road from Yanzhou to Xuzhou.

Although rivers can also be used for transportation.

But now it is approaching winter, and it will not be long before the river surface freezes, and ships will naturally be unable to move forward.

This aspect is even more time-consuming than the land route.

With the current food and grass issue, if you delay for one day, it will be a difficult day ahead.

This matter cannot be delayed.

Xun Yu had a headache. How could he encounter such weather?

Could it be said that this is destiny?

Is Cao Jun doomed to fail in this battle?

Although the land route can handle it, it will snow soon, and if this continues, food and grass will naturally not be transported.

Xun Yu had already thought that Cao Jun would have no choice but to retreat.

If the food conquest fails, and you want to conquer Xuzhou again, you will have to wait for more time.

And at this time, I don’t know how long I have to wait?

"Let me think about it!"

"Is there a topographic map between the two places within the government office?"

Xi Yu asked Xun Yu casually, and the latter naturally understood what the other party meant, and casually found the map and handed it to Xi Yu.

……

Xuzhou, Linyi County!

A few days ago, the heavy rain for several days in a row dampened the high spirits of Cao Cao and others in an instant.

At this moment, in the county government office, Cao Cao looked at the military report in front of him with a sad face and furrowed brows.

Although they captured more than a dozen towns in a row, Cao's army was as powerful as a rainbow.

However, the news in the rear military newspaper made Cao Cao somewhat unhappy.

There's something wrong with the grain channel!

The grain and grass that were originally expected to be delivered in three days were put on hold until an unknown time.

The food and grass that can currently be supplied to Cao's army cannot last more than five days!

According to the news in the military newspaper, the rain in the rear has not stopped yet, and the nearby river channel has been washed away. The entire grain channel has now become a vast ocean!

With this kind of effort, I can’t even rest and reorganize the grain road!

If this delay continues, the 200,000-strong army may be trapped here.

Now, as his policies unfold in these towns.

Cao Jun never affected the people of Xuzhou at all, unless he forcibly confiscated grain and grass from more than a dozen towns!

There is nothing wrong with doing this, it is what all the princes in the world do.

However, after doing this, everything they have done before may be in vain!

Not only was Cao Cao anxious, but Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren, who had the other two faces on their faces, were also numb!

The other side.

Ten days ago.

In Xuzhou City, the three Liu Bei brothers and others, who had been invited to help, were gathering with Tao Qian.

"I have heard about Xuande's high righteousness for a long time, but I never thought that the only person in the world who can help me is Liu Bei!"

Tao Qian held Liu Bei's hand with enthusiasm, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to Liu Bei.

However, later, when Guan Yu warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and Liu Bei's three brothers defeated Lu Bu, and became famous all over the world, Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei differently.

Fortunately, he did not hate these three brothers at the beginning.

But now Xuzhou is attacked by Cao Cao, and the princes from all over the country have no help. Unexpectedly, the first one to come is Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei only led less than 3,000 troops this time!

But the other party came to help, and for Tao Qian, it was a hit in his heart.

Liu Bei has a good reputation, and he needs someone like this to appear in front of him right now.

"Tao Shijun is so polite!"

"The reason why we are here to help is for the sake of Xuzhou's great interests!"

Liu Bei was also a little helpless. After he helped Kong Rong, he was feared by the other party and arranged to be stationed in a small place.

Although he was not far from Gongsun Zan, he did not want to rely on Gongsun Zan.

The big man is now in decline, and he also wants to make a career.

If you keep living in that small area, when will you be able to stand out?

In Youzhou, Gongsun Zan gradually became more powerful, and Liu Yu was already old, so he could not suppress Gongsun Zan after all.

It won't be long before the entire Youzhou will probably become Gongsun Zan's subordinate.

And he, Liu Bei, is naturally unwilling to argue with Gongsun Zan.

He also doesn’t want to be controlled by others.

Tao Qian's letter for help came just in time.

On the one hand, Liu Bei himself had good intentions and helped Xuzhou with his help.

On the other hand, Tao Qian's letter this time was able to solve his dilemma at that time.

After leaving that place, Liu Bei was able to leap into a vast ocean.

Whether he can show his ambition depends on his own ability.

The so-called hit it off, the best of both worlds.

In the main hall, Tao Qian warmly entertained Liu Bei, and soon after, the two discussed ways to deal with Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was coming with great force.

The only thing that Liu Bei didn't expect was that he originally thought that Cao's army's attack on Xuzhou would inevitably lead to the destruction of the people.
