Chapter 677 Xun Yu, Guo Jia's Helpless (Part 1)
The enemy and us in Yanzhou entered a short period of rest and confrontation. Cao Cao lacked money and food and lacked enough troops, so he had no choice but to come to Jiyin County in person, hoping to get Zhang Miao's full support, but now Zhang Miao has nothing to do.
Cao Cao quarreled with Zhang Chao in the prefect's mansion. On the other hand, Xun Yu and Guo Jia were also trying to convince the major families.
The Xun family is a large clan of Yingchuan County. Xun Yu visited, and the Bian, Jiang, Ke, Ke, Tao, Yu, and Cai families also gave him enough face. They all gathered in the Ding family's mansion, but the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Seeing that all the young and old frowned, Xun Yu felt in his heart, but he still clasped his fists and spoke again.
"Even if Xun doesn't say anything, you know that the current crisis in Yanzhou is in progress. Only when we work together to overcome difficulties, and only by defeating the thieves in Qingzhou can you farm safely."
Xun Yu knew very well that Dong Zhuo was dead and the world was in chaos. Besides, the court's righteousness would not work. The only person who could convince the major families to take out money, grain and soldiers could only use "interest" to persuade them, and it must also be related to their own interests.
After Xun Yu said that, some old men in the hall nodded silently, but said nothing. Just when Xun Yu wanted to persuade him again, Guo Jia spoke with a smile on his face.
"Are you so short-sighted? You don't even care about your own life and death? Once Lord Zhou Mu can't resist millions of thieves, wouldn't you become thieves? "
Guo Jia spoke, and the more than ten people sitting during the meal frowned and annoyed, and a young man stood up even more angry.
"In the morning of Jiang Jun and Jiang Bocai!"
Jiang Jun punched Guo Jia, and Xun Yu straightened his body. He was not afraid of others debating with him, but was afraid of talking to himself in a hot mood...
"Mr. Guo said some truth, and each family also knows that it is the time of crisis in Yanzhou. However, can Cao Mengde really defeat the thieves? Can he really eliminate disasters and disasters for each family?"
Jiang Jun snorted coldly and turned to clasped his fists at the elderly in each family.
"If Dong Hu and Dong Xining lead troops to suppress the thieves, our Jiang family will do their best even if they disperse their wealth. Even if the boy dies in battle, he will have no regrets. It's because Dong Xining can wipe out millions of thieves!"
As he said that, Jiang Jun looked at Xun Yu, Guo Jia, whose face changed drastically, and punched him coldly.
"Everyone in the world knows that Dong Xining's ability was. As early as ten years ago, when the Qiang rebelled, he led thousands of villages to attack 100,000 Liangzhou thieves, but he even made him successful!"
"In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Thiefs were in chaos, and hundreds of thousands of thieves in Yuzhou caused rebellion. Although he robbed the grain of Yingchuan families, he wiped out the thieves in one fell swoop. There was no famine in Yuzhou caused by the rebellion of thieves in various places."
"Dong Xining escorted 300,000 prisoners to Bingzhou to cultivate land. He first defeated the Xiongnu and then forced the Xianbei people to escape from Danhan Mountain. More than 100,000 Baibo thieves colluded with the Xiongnu and invaded Taiyuan County. He also sent troops to wipe out the Liangzhou thieves who had turmoiled our dynasty for several years were even wiped out by him."
Jiang Jun said seriously: "These are old things, but it is true that the princes from all walks of life in the Sour Jujube Alliance. Dong Xining defeated hundreds of thousands of troops and other troops with tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"No matter whether Dong Xining is a thief in the world, no matter whether the enemy or not, there is at least one thing that can be confirmed. Dong Xining has the ability to wipe out millions of Qingzhou thieves. I dare to ask Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, and Cao Mengderuo holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Can he defeat the thieves in one fell swoop?"
Xun Yu was about to open his mouth, and Jiang Jun turned his head and snorted coldly.
"Two gentlemen, don't deceive the boy, don't say that the thieves are just hungry people without food, don't say that they are vulnerable or something."
"Dong Xining used his own strength to prove that he was able to encircle and suppress millions of thieves on the battlefield. My Jiang family did not require Cao Mengde to have the ability of Dong Xining. He only needed to prove that he had Lu Zigan. Huangfu Yi really had the ability, and my Jiang family also gave all of it. It was because Dong Xining, Lu Zigan, and Huangfu Yi really proved that he had the ability to use tens of thousands of troops to eliminate millions of thieves!"
"Even if I don't say anything, the two gentlemen know the great defeat in the Battle of Xingyang and the Battle of Kaifeng. If you don't know how to defeat Xu Rong, Dong Xining's troops are too strong, and Cao Mengde's defeat is normal. But what about Shou Zhang's battle? Then how did the damn Bao Xin die?"
"Faced with a group of hungry people, Cao Mengde was defeated and Bao Xin died in battle, how can you prove that you have the ability to wipe out millions of thieves? Are you trying to say that there are many thieves, ten times more than yourself? Dong Xining has had many soldiers in all wars?"
Xun Yu, who was about to defend himself, Guo Jia opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain. Not only did Dong Hu have weak military strength in all the wars, but in fact, countless wars in the Han Dynasty were basically in a "weak military force". It was particularly difficult for the two to use few soldiers to convince the families in the hall.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Jiang Jun snorted coldly and angry again.
"The old thief Dong Zhuo abolished the establishment without authorization, controlled the government, and harmed the loyal and kind. The families in our Yanzhou handed over countless money and grain to Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, and Bao Xin. What's the result? The families in our lives lost countless losses!"
"All the princes have lost countless wealth in Yanzhou, and it is fine if our families have lost countless money and food, but Bao Xin has lost 20,000 yuan in Jibei and spent countless money in Jibei. After the thieves came, he took the lead in fleeing, so that Lu County was destroyed and the families died!"
Jiang Jun said coldly: "Bao Xin lost 20,000 people in Jibei... You may say that Lu County lacks troops and cannot resist millions of thieves. You can defend Bao Xin's abandonment of Lu County, but the death of the Jibei families who gave him countless money and grain to recruit soldiers!"
"No matter how you defend Bao Xin, it is true that the thiefs in Lu County and Jibei families were killed by the hands of thieves!"
"Bao Xin lost 20,000 yuan to fight Erlang in Jibei, and each county in Yanzhou also had its own losses. Today, our families can support Cao Mengde and give you countless money and grain to recruit soldiers, but why can you guarantee a victory? Liu Dai has died and has caused many losses to each family. If Cao Mengde and you are defeated again, they will consume all the money and grain of each family, and millions of thieves will come. The two counties and counties in Jiyin and Shanyang have no money and grain, and there will be no young and strong people who can be recruited. We are like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered!"
"Do you also want us to be the same as the families of Jibei Kingdom? If you escape, all of our tribes will die at the hands of thieves?"
"snort!"
Jiang Jun snorted coldly and shook his sleeves to sit down. He was extremely angry at Bao Xin's escape. All families in Jibei supported him at all costs. As a result, the thieves came, but Bao Xin fled to Changyi County and into Shanyang County. His words of persuading Liu Dai were nothing more than to defend the city and wait until the thieves were depressed and then attacked with all their strength.
Bao Xin persuaded Liu Dai to defend the city, why did Bao Xin not survive and perish with Jibei Kingdom? Why did he flee to Yanzhou, Changyi, the capital of Shanyang County?
If Bao Xin died in Lu County and Jibei Kingdom, Jiang Jun would feel better. At least he and the families in Jibei would survive and die... Of course, Bao Xin is dead in battle now, but Jiang Jun has no sympathy at all.
All the clan leaders did not speak, and the clan elders looked at each other...
"Although Bo Cai was a little reckless, what he said was the truth."
The old man of the Ding family spoke, and everyone looked solemn.
"Wen Ruo is from the Xun family in Yingchuan, you should understand the difficulties of each family. We are all dying people, and we will die. However, at least 100 children and 100 nephews in the family, and at most hundreds of them, how can we easily let my son fall into danger?"
"Bao Xin, Wang Yu, Xu Si, Wang Kai, Xu Xi, Mao Hui, Wan Qian and others supported Cao Mengde as the governor of Yanzhou. I think it was hoped that Cao Mengde could wipe out the thieves in Qingzhou. If possible, our families would naturally be willing to support you in full swing to destroy the thieves. But... you did not meet our expectations. If two years ago, even if the two did not come, we would have sent the money and food to the army. Now it is not possible, and each family can no longer take risks."
The old man with red face looked at Xun Yu and Guo Jia unhappily.
"Brother Ding is polite. If you want me to support me, then show your true skills! Otherwise, you don't want to take a grain of food from each company!"
"What Mr. Tao said is that our money and food are not blowing from the strong wind, and even a group of people holding hoes cannot beat them. Why should we ask for money and food?"
"From my opinion, it is safer to recruit some people to guard the city wall..."
"Cao Song had hundreds of carriages in his hands. Cao Mengde didn't ask his father for it, but he came to Jiyin to do something?"
"Brother Ke is wrong. It's not that Cao Mengde doesn't want to ask for it, but that Cao Song doesn't give it to him at all..."
...
Xun Yu heard a group of old men whispering unhappy, and his face became a little hot. Cao Song was indeed rich, but he did not support Cao Cao very much. When Cao Cao was about to rebel, Cao Song took his youngest son to Langya County to avoid disaster. When he left, he brought countless gold, silver and jewelry. Except for throwing the fields from his hometown of Pei Kingdom to Cao Cao, Mao did not leave him.
No one mentioned Cao Song, and Xun Yu might be able to persuade him again, but when a group of old people kept talking about Cao Song, he had no choice but to leave with Guo Jia in the end...
All major families are not stupid. They know that it is difficult for Cao Cao to defeat the millions of Yellow Turban Army with just 10,000 troops, but they are scared, afraid that Cao Cao will not only fail to defeat the thieves, but will lose all the confidence of his family.
Now it is not the time to rush to raise troops to besiege Luoyang. At that time, they could take out 100,000 troops and provide money, food and supplies without hesitation, and be able to send all the servants and generals raised by their family to the battlefield, but now they can't.
Just like a billionaire, when he has money, he will throw out a luxury car without hesitation, but if he has no money, do he dare to throw it out easily?
The princes of Guandong besieged Luoyang, but they were defeated one after another. The two sides confronted each other for a year, and people ate horses and chewed them. Hundreds and millions of stones of food were gone. The captives captured by Dong Hu alone were about 200,000. Isn’t it necessary to compensate the captive’s family?
The princes of Guandong were defeated, and the Heishan army of 100,000 Lucai Mountains rushed into Dongjun again, and another cost of recruiting troops. After two years, the major families in Yanzhou lost their previous morale and became cautious, fearing that Cao Cao would turn the major families into Jibei Kingdom.
The money and food were spent, and countless men died, but Bao Xin ran away with his butt.
