"I didn't expect Jiangdong to develop so fast." Yuan Shu thought with some surprise.

Jiangdong was developed from the period of the Three Kingdoms. Before that, although Jiangdong had a vast territory, it was in a corner, with a scarce population, and there were riots by the Yue people. It was far less prosperous than the north.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the northern princes fought endlessly, and people everywhere were in dire straits, causing a large number of people to move south, bringing sufficient manpower and more advanced production technology to the south, and laying the foundation for Jiangdong's prosperity in the future.

However, the prosperity of Jiangdong is the result of decades of hard work by the three generations of the Sun family. Yuan Shu has only occupied Jiangdong for less than two years. Such a great development is indeed beyond his expectations.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu understood.

In the history of wars in the north, the south has not been spared either, especially 'Yuan Shu', the ruler of Huaihuai and Jiangdong's large territories, expropriated and extravagant.

In this way, both the north and the south have become "knife mountains of oil", the people have nowhere to go, and the population continues to decrease. When the Sun family came to control Jiangdong, the manpower was already greatly insufficient, and development naturally required more time.

But now, instead of exploiting the people who migrated south, Yuan Shu properly resettled them and guided them carefully. Jiangdong has naturally been vigorously developed and has reached the prosperity of the early days of Sun Quan's reign.

After all, the world has not been in chaos for a long time. Although the population has decreased, it is still moderate. In addition, the problem of Shanyue has been suppressed and gradually eradicated, and the development is naturally extremely fast.

"It's easy to fight for world hegemony!" Yuan Shu was not without complacency.

In the era of cold weapons, the importance of grain and grass naturally need not be too much. With the granary of Jiangdong, it will be of great help to Yuan Shu's future hegemony, and it can even play a decisive role.

"Jiangdong needs to work hard to develop Zibu, and I will make inspections every day." Yuan Shu said to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed and said, "My lord, don't worry, Zhao will make arrangements properly."

Looking around personally, it can be seen that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to Jiangdong. Zhang Zhao is very confident in Jiangdong's current state, and Yuan Shu's admiration seems to have sounded in his ears.

"Yeah!" Yuan Shu nodded slightly. Since he gave up the idea of ​​marching, it was logical to inspect Jiangdong.

After Zhang Zhao heard this, he knew what to do, and thought about going back to make preparations.

"It's gone!" Yuan Shu glanced at the crowd, and with a big wave, he got up and walked out.

"Farewell, my lord!" came the voices of everyone behind him.

When Yuan Shu walked away, everyone dispersed.

Feng Ji grabbed Xun You and asked, "Gongda! Why did your lord suddenly change his mind today?"

Although he was satisfied with Yuan Shu giving up the march, he also had doubts in his heart.

Xun You glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Our army has won a series of victories. My lord is inevitably a little arrogant, but now it has recovered."

Feng Ji is also a smart person, he understands everything immediately, and suddenly said: "That's true!"

After pondering for a while, he asked again: "How long does Gongda think I should wait for cultivation?"

"Two years! Save for two years and enter Jingzhou, there will be no disadvantages!" Xun You said decisively.

Feng Ji said with a smile: "Gongda's meaning is exactly in my heart."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In this era, women seldom go out, and it is always bad to show their faces in public, so they are bored at home all day.

Yuan Shu thought, it would be good to show them the scenery of Jiangdong.

Unfortunately, Zou Jia did not appreciate Yuan Shu's kindness.

"Yao'er (Yuan Shu's son, named Yuan Yao) is still young and needs to be taken care of by my concubine." Although he didn't say it clearly, the intention to refuse is already very obvious.

Diao Chan nodded again and again, obviously agreeing.

Ever since they had their children, their minds were no longer on Yuan Shu.

Only Cai Yan was eager to try, very moved.

Yuan Shu stroked his forehead and felt a slight headache. Zou Jia was good at everything, but spoiled his son too much.

"Just bring Yao'er and Yi'er (Yuan Shu's daughter, named Yuan Yi) with you on this trip." Yuan Shu said, his attitude eased, and he was no longer as serious as before.

Zou Jiaxiu frowned slightly, and said admonishingly: "Your husband is on patrol, how can you drag your family with you, and coerce women and children?"

Yuan Shu glanced at Zou Jia appreciatively. Zou Jia was indeed a hostess, with a good family background and good knowledge. It was very rare to dare to speak up and persuade her. This is why Yuan Shu made her the "Queen of Heart".

"This inspection is not considered formal, so you can rest assured." Yuan Shu laughed.

Zou Jia was relieved now, but she still resisted the thought of taking her son on a 'long journey'.

"Okay! The matter is settled like this. You should prepare early to avoid being in a hurry." Yuan Shu said decisively.

Seeing that Yuan Shu had made up his mind, Zou Jia had no choice but to obey.

After the matter was settled, Yuan Shu began to tease constantly, making the three girls blush.

It was night, and Yuan Shu was staying in Cai Yan's room. He was very romantic and happy, so he didn't need to be too much.

……

……

Time flies, and the new year has arrived in a blink of an eye.

In the four years of Chuping, there was a lot of chaos.

Liu Biao and Tao Qian jointly crusade against Yuan Shu, and finally returned in disastrous defeat;

In order to avenge his father, Cao Cao raised troops to attack Xuzhou. At the end of the year, he could not do anything, so Cao Cao temporarily withdrew his troops and prepared to fight again in the next year;

And in October, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, relieved his worries, and began to fight against Yuan Shao. <When the wind comes, immediately go south to inspect Jiangdong.

At this moment, the situation in Xuzhou rose again.

Just after the New Year's Eve, Cao Cao couldn't wait to lead his troops to invade Xuzhou again.

This time Cao's army almost came out in full force, leaving only 1 troops to guard Juancheng and other places.

Outside Xuzhou City, Cao Jun camped.

Cao Cao sat at the head of the big tent, his face livid.

For more than a month, Cao Jun was not afraid of death and continued to attack Xuzhou City. Unfortunately, they were all repelled by the Xuzhou Army. Now the loss has exceeded [-] people, even exceeding Cao Jun's previous casualties, which made Cao Cao resentful.

"Damn it! Old thief Tao Qian, if the city is destroyed in the next day, you will definitely be torn to pieces." Cao Cao gritted his teeth.

All the generals were silent, with a trace of fatigue on their faces. Xuzhou City was too strong. Although Cao Jun was said to be brave, he was still a little powerless in the face of Xuzhou City.

The difficulties were not limited to this. After more than a month of consumption, Cao Jun's food and grass were not much left.

Yanzhou was not a land of grain production, and after being ravaged by the Yellow Turbans, grain and grass were extremely scarce.

Cao Cao led an army of [-] to attack Xuzhou this time, but the food and grass were not consumed in three months.

Now one month has passed, and there are two months left, if Cao Cao fails to break through Xuzhou City, the [-] troops will starve to death. This is Cao Cao's biggest crisis.

At that moment, Cao Cao cursed in a low voice and looked at Guo Jia.

At this moment, Cao Cao could only hope that Guo Jia could come up with a clever plan to break through Xuzhou City.

Cao Cao didn't know that Guo Jia already had the intention to retreat.

This time when Cao Cao sent troops to attack Xuzhou, Xun Yu was opposed to it. Although Guo Jia agreed, his original intention was to make a quick decision, otherwise there would be no food crisis, and even the rear of Yanzhou would be unstable.

The current war is unfavorable, and Xuzhou is determined to resist. Guo Jia naturally thought of retreating. After all, it has not been long since Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou.

"My lord!" Guo Jiajin said, "The war is not going well right now, I'll wait for Mo Ruo to return to Yanzhou and discuss it in the long run."

Cao Cao's face suddenly pulled down, and he said harshly: "Father's hatred is irreconcilable, I have endured it for a while before, how can I let it go this time?"

Obviously, Cao Cao believed that Tao Qian murdered his father. After all, the matter was too coincidental, and he was unwilling to retreat, so he refuted Guo Jia's proposal on the spot.

Guo Jia was speechless, the city of Xuzhou was so strong that even a [-] army could hardly break it, it was not that Guo Jia had thought of attacking the other side, luring the army out of the city to ambush and surround them for reinforcements.

But Cao's army totaled only [-], and Xiapi, which is the closest to Xuzhou, is also a fortified city. With all [-] troops, it may not be possible to break through Xiapi, so how could Tao Qian send troops to rescue?

After thinking about it, the only way to reverse the situation is to break through Xuzhou, and other strategies are useless.

Seeing Guo Jia shake his head slightly, Cao Cao's heart sank, he clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulged, and his chest heaved continuously.

After a long time, Cao Cao calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "There is no possibility of retreating, and we will continue to attack tomorrow!"

"No!" The generals responded loudly.

At this time, only a loud cry came from outside the tent.

"Report..."

The herald rushed into the tent and said loudly, "My lord, the envoy from Huainan is asking to see you."
