Since Cao Cao re-captured Yanzhou from Liu Biao, although Yanzhou experienced natural disasters, it has gradually stabilized. Yanzhou is the place where Cao Cao made his fortune, and it is of great significance to Cao Cao.

The war between Cao Cao and Lu Bu is ongoing. Yanzhou, as an important state and county under Cao Cao's rule, is constantly transporting grain and grass to Xudu. This grain and grass is related to whether the soldiers on the front line can win this war. Yanzhou

Officials from all over the country also attach great importance to it.

Since the war between the two sides started, Yanzhou has also stepped up its alert. The Jin army has now arrived at Yingchuan County. Among the Jin army, the most indispensable thing is the elite cavalry. Once Lu Bu sends the elite cavalry to Cao Cao to rule

If it is done, it will cause severe harm to Cao Cao's rule.

Cao Cao could think of sending cavalry into Jizhou and causing turmoil in Jizhou. Lu Bu would definitely choose to do the same thing. However, after the war between the two sides, Yanzhou did not find any trace of the enemy. This also made Yanzhou officials and guards

The army is much more relaxed.

Both sides mobilized a large number of troops to gather in Yingchuan County, and Yanzhou also transferred a lot of garrison troops to the counties. At this time, Yanzhou officials must be more vigilant. Yanzhou has provided a lot of troops for the army.

If food and grass cannot be guaranteed, it will be a fatal threat to the warring Cao army.

During the war, the people are in dire straits. This does not mean that the arrival of enemy troops will bring huge disasters to the people, but that after the war begins, officials from various places will definitely increase taxes in order to raise food and grass. In this case, these tasks will be on the

Ordinary people and aristocratic families who occupy a large amount of land will not spend much food and grass in this war.

This kind of thing can be very common under the rule of princes, even in Jiangdong. In addition to the food and grass collected in peacetime, the food and grass needed during war must be left to ordinary people.

This is a batch of grain and grass transported from Shanyang to Xudu. It is about 20,000 shi. The transport convoy is also huge, and there are about 2,000 soldiers accompanying it. The most important task of these soldiers is to transport the grain and grass to arrive safely.

Xudu.

There are more than fifty cavalry in the baggage team. They are here to find out the situation along the way. After all, the matter of food and grass is of great importance and there is no room for sloppiness. If something happens to the food and grass on the way, the general who is transporting the food and grass must have to

punished.

Those who escorted the grain and grass were mostly ordinary people. After the war started, it became a difficult thing for the people to survive. At this time, if they escorted the grain and grass, they could barely eat enough and get some

Food is extremely important to ordinary people.

Becoming a commoner in the grain transport team requires taking a lot of risks. The armies of both sides are at war, and any situation will happen, but in the face of the hope of survival, no commoner will choose to give up.

The life of ordinary people is extremely difficult. In order to survive, some people even sell their fields in order to exchange for rice.

Officials everywhere are also greedy. It is common for them to raise tax standards without authorization in order to line their own pockets. As for the people being dissatisfied with this matter, they have no way to do it. Officials are like gods in the eyes of the people. If

If they don't obey orders, they will not survive.

Naturally, the aristocratic family secretly colluded with the government at this time. After the people were forced to have no choice but to survive, the best result was to become tenant farmers of the aristocratic family, cultivating the fields for the aristocratic family, and thus supporting their families. Although the aristocratic family had a small population, they controlled it.

With a large number of tenant farmers, the influence of the family can be increased invisibly.

If you control the fields, you can control more things. But any aristocratic family will understand the reason. The opportunity for the family to grow is when the war begins.

The price of rice grains in various places has begun to rise. This is also a normal thing. When the war starts, the army needs a large amount of rice grains, and when the people do not have much rice grains in their hands, they will definitely buy rice grains. At this time, those who control a large amount of rice grains will

The family is secretly manipulating the price of rice grains to obtain more profits.

There are five thousand people in the grain transport team, and most of them use wheelbarrows produced in Jin. It is not too difficult to build this kind of cart, and one common person can push two to three hundred kilograms of rice.

, extremely economical. Besides, a cement road has been built from Yanzhou to Xudu, and the traveling speed is not too slow. If you start from Shanyang, it will only take eight days at most to reach Xudu. In the past,

If so, this time will definitely be doubled.

The smooth road ahead allows the teams transporting food and grass to move faster. Whenever there is a team transporting food and grass along the way, they must stay away. This is a team transporting food and grass for the army. Ordinary people.

Dare to step forward and stop him.

The soldiers in the escort team were more comfortable. After ordinary people saw these soldiers, they naturally did not dare to disobey them. Their orders were the most important in the eyes of the people. If they offended the soldiers in the army, they

I'm afraid he died on the way before reaching Xudu.

Although they are from the common people, the soldiers in the army do not treat the common people as well as the Jin soldiers. They not only have to deal with situations that may occur at any time, but also prevent the common people among them from escaping.

There were two thousand soldiers in the army plus three thousand civilians, and the team was huge. The people passing by also stopped and watched. The eyes of the people were more lingering on the grain and grass transported by the people. In troubled times, they fought for rice.

He was willing to sell his family's land and even exchange his children for food.

Seeing the expressions of the people passing by, the soldiers in the army looked full of contempt. These people had yellow faces and muscles, which showed that their families were not well-off.

Although the soldiers looked down upon these people, they would not go so far as to rob the people. Cao's army had strict military discipline. If he harassed the people, it would be known to the officials that the generals leading the troops would be severely punished. At the beginning of the war

After that, it is definitely a good thing to be responsible for escorting food and grass for the army. In this case, you can avoid encountering enemy soldiers to a greater extent. After all, Yanzhou is an important place under Cao Cao's rule, and enemy soldiers

I don't dare to get involved easily.

As for escorting grain and grass, life is still very comfortable. At least you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Even ordinary soldiers in the army are superior in front of the people, which greatly improves the self-esteem of the army officers.
