The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 117 The Greatest Confidence in Dominating the World

"Don't worry about the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou for now. Let's deal with the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou first."

Tao Qian said irritably.

At this moment, Tao Qian no longer had his previous elegant demeanor.

His eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were bloodshot, like a seriously ill person.

Ever since Huaiyin was broken, Ye Chen has become his lingering nightmare.

If he couldn't stop Ye Chen's Yellow Turban Army, there was no telling how long he could stay on as the governor of Xuzhou.

Mi Fang, Chen Gui and others below him saw Tao Qian like this.

I have mixed emotions.

You know, Tao Qian got the position of Mu of Xuzhou because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Now the situation has changed, and he is about to be dethroned as the Governor of Xuzhou by the Yellow Turban Army.

"My Lord, I just got some new news!"

"Cao Cao seems to be planning to march into Langya County!"

"Zang Ba has led his troops back to provide support!"

Chen Gui was silent for a moment, then bowed to Tao Qian and said.

Although he didn't know why, Cao Cao did not attack Langya County.

But he passed the news to Zang Ba, and now Zang Ba has indeed returned to Kaiyang to provide support.

"What? Without my military order, Zang Baan dares to act rashly!"

Tao Qian was surprised.

Chen Gui was speechless.

The way you said it sounded like you could order Zang Ba around.

It was originally according to his plan.

Zang Ba was transferred to the front line to resist Ye Chen.

In this way, Langya County was left undefended.

If Cao Cao knew, he would definitely not let go of this piece of fat meat.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao didn't take the bait.

If Cao Cao really attacks Langya County, Zang Ba will inevitably fight Cao Cao to the death.

By then, Xuzhou will be short of troops.

After Ye Chen captures Xuzhou, he will take advantage of the situation and snatch Langya County from Cao Cao and Zang Ba.

In this way, we kill two birds with one stone, which is quite perfect.

But Cao Cao actually resisted this temptation.

No troops were sent out at all.

Therefore, Chen Gui could only report false news to Zang Ba.

It was said that Cao Cao intended to march into Langya County. Upon hearing the news, Zang Ba went straight back to provide support.

No matter what, the goal was achieved, and Chen Gui felt that his planning was not in vain.

"This damn Zang Ba, he has two heads and two tails, he is really a mean person!"

Tao Qian yelled at Zang Ba.

His entire fighting spirit completely collapsed after hearing that Zang Ba had returned to help.

"My lord, we should think of a way to stop Ye Chen's Yellow Turban Army first!"

Chen Gui continued to speak to Tao Qian.

"Yes, yes, you are right!
"Han Yu, what's the plan?"

Tao Qian asked repeatedly.

"My lord, I think we can stop the Yellow Turban Army with the forces of Xia Pi and Peng Cheng!"

“No less than a fool’s dream!”

"It is better to give up the two places and concentrate our forces in Xuzhou to stop the Yellow Turban Army!"

Chen Gui said with a bow.

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

what? ?

This means that the two counties of Xia Pi and Pengcheng were directly given to Ye Chen?
Is Chen Gui crazy?
"Mr. Hanyu, I'm afraid this idea is inappropriate!"

Liu Bei thought for a while and said.

He won't talk anymore.

Chen Gui might ask Tao Qian to give Xuzhou to Ye Chen next.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Gui glanced at Liu Bei and spoke loudly.

"Now Zang Ba has returned to Langya County without authorization. There are only 20,000 soldiers stationed in Pengcheng and Xiapi!" "How can such a small force stop Ye Chen's 50,000 troops?"

"If we withdraw our troops, we will defend Xuzhou City!"

"Maybe we can still have a chance of survival."

"Didn't Zhao Yu surrender to Ye Chen after defending Huaiyin City with 30,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Who can guarantee that the garrisons of Xia Pi and Peng Cheng will not surrender to Ye Chen like Zhao Yu did?"

"You know, Zhao Yu is the lord's confidant!"

"Rather than them surrendering voluntarily, it is better to transfer them back to Xuzhou and watch them from under our noses."

"I would like to ask you, Liu Xuande, what is wrong with this plan?"

After saying this, Chen Gui sneered at Liu Bei.

"This……"

Liu Bei was so confused by Chen Gui's words that he was speechless for a moment.

Mi Fang stared at Chen Gui with wide eyes.

"Old people are cunning, and old horses are slippery!"

"Chen Gui, you really are a smart person!"

"Black is said to be white!"

Mi Fang said with infinite emotion in his heart.

Good guy.

After Chen Gui's words, if Tao Qian really intended to give up Xia Pi and Pengcheng.

Of the six counties in Xuzhou, Ye Chen alone possessed three of them.

It is equivalent to occupying half of Xuzhou.

Zang Ba of Langya County can no longer be relied upon.

This means that Tao Qian only had two counties left.

This strength is far inferior to Ye Chen's Yellow Turban Army.

Tao Qian pondered over it in his mind.

Zhao Yu was his confidant, and even he surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army.

Chen Gui was right. Can the defenders of Xia Pi and Pengcheng guarantee that they will fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army?
Instead of having them surrender to increase Ye Chen’s strength, it would be better to transfer them back to Xuzhou City and watch them under his nose.

It can also increase the strength of defending Xuzhou City.

"it is good!"

"Just do as Han Yu said!"

"Withdraw the troops from Xiapi and Pengcheng counties!"

"Give the two counties to Ye Chen!"

Xuzhou, Huaiyin City.

"Have the rice seeds been refreshed again?"

In the county government office of Huaiyin City, Ye Chen was checking his reputation mall. Seeing the special items refreshed this time, he couldn't help but show joy on his face.

special items
A bag of improved rice seeds: 100 reputation (one million copies are returned daily)
Little Genius Homework Book: 100 reputation ( copies are returned daily)
It was rice seeds again, which made Ye Chen overjoyed.

As his territory continued to expand, he also realized a problem.

That is, it is unrealistic to feed everyone by relying solely on corn porridge and white flour buns.

There are only 300,000 copies per day.

Now, the population of Guangling County alone is over 900,000.

Even if we gave them all away for free, there wouldn't be enough for everyone.

Fortunately.

Since last year, this improved version of rice has been planted gradually!
At present, Jiangdu County has reclaimed 30,000 acres of wasteland, and the yield per acre is maintained at about 1,200 kilograms.

However, the planting progress in Guangling City is relatively slow.

Ever since Ye Chen took over Guangling County, he ordered the three counties under the jurisdiction of Guangling County to reclaim wasteland on a large scale and plant improved rice.

However, because the time was too short and the number of wastelands was too small, the amount of rice harvested was not large.

When the army set out this time, the task that Ye Chen left to Gu Yong, Wang Can and others was to reclaim farmland on a large scale.

The improved version of rice must be planted in full swing during this year's sowing season.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The normal yield per acre of land for farmers is only 200 kilograms.

His own rice production increased sixfold.

In addition, the soil and water in Xuzhou are fertile, and there are two harvests a year. As long as he manages the fields in Guangling County well, the rice output of Guangling County alone will be enough to feed the entire population of Xuzhou.

This is Ye Chen’s greatest confidence in his fight to dominate the world!
