After killing Zhu Jun, Zhou Cheng had a complete plan in mind.

Jizhou coerced the population, obtained enough food, and then obtained war horses from outside the Great Wall. As long as he was given two or three years to gain a foothold outside the Great Wall, he would then fight back to the Central Plains.

Moreover, it is better to rob foreigners than to rob the people of the Central Plains.

……

Zhou Cheng had decided to go north, and Yecheng's troops and horses began to mobilize.

This time heading north, Zhou Cheng had 460,000 troops and horses, including 170,000 young men and women, and 290,000 old, weak, women and children.

This is to save food and not deliberately coerce the population.

Otherwise, Jizhou has a large population and it would not be difficult to control millions of people.

There is only a population of 460,000, and the amount of food and grass consumed by people is not a small number.

But now it's December, and when we send our troops northward, when we leave Daijun and reach the outside of the Great Wall, it may be the coldest month of January and February.

At that time, it was snowing outside the Great Wall and the wind was freezing. I didn’t know how many people would die on the way.

The old, weak, women and children who were held captive were making dry food, burning charcoal, and sewing clothes, while cursing Zhou Cheng in their hearts, cursing him to have no descendants and die a good death.

The back room of the governor's office.

Xun Cai is taking the maids to sew leather clothes

"Madam, I’m going north this time. I don’t know if I can come back."

The girl who is talking has a face like a peach and plum, curved willow eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes with spring, a nose like a hanging bile, and a very beautiful appearance.

She is the daughter of Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen recognized Zhou as his master, and in order to gain trust further, he transferred his daughter to her. Zhao Rong was sent to Xun Cai to serve Zhou Cheng in his daily life. In fact, it was equivalent to being given to Zhou Cheng as a concubine.

"It's bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and I don't know how much suffering I will suffer along the way." said the girl behind Xun Cai. She has willow eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a straight nose. She looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is already tall and graceful. Her name is Zhao Hua, and she is the daughter of Zhao Yuan. Like her cousin Zhao Rong, She was given to Zhou Cheng as a concubine.

The two brothers Zhao Chen and Zhao Yuan knew that they could not be tolerated in the world, so they were determined to follow Zhou Cheng all the way to the dark side.

At this time, Xun Cai put down the needle and thread in his hand, He said:"Just do your own thing well. As for the future matters, your husband will naturally arrange it."

Xun Cai is a woman who observes etiquette and will not interfere with Zhou Cheng's affairs.

Although Xun Cai was not angry, the two sisters Zhao Rong and Zhao Hua kept their mouths shut.

There were many women in the room.

The younger one is thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as Xun Cai. The older one also has a pretty widow whose husband has just died. Some of these women are snatched by thieves everywhere

, and they are like beautiful ladies. Waiting for Xun Cai to choose, Xun Cai After he is satisfied, he will consider letting them go to bed.

It has always been Xun Cai's concern to allow Zhou Cheng to leave heirs as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Cheng has been very busy, either fighting, rectifying the army, and listening to civil and military advice. Report.

Therefore, the matter of taking concubines has been delayed.

Xun Cai also knew that Zhou Cheng was busy and would not cause trouble to Zhou Cheng because of this matter. Therefore, she observed by herself and picked out some pleasant and considerate things. Women.

Of course, Zhao Chen and Zhao Yuan’s daughters still have to be accepted, otherwise they will be alienated.

……

Making charcoal requires a large amount of wood, and going out of the city to cut wood and burning it into charcoal outside the city is such a big move that it is naturally difficult to escape the surveillance of the army scouts.

Yitao, the prefect's mansion.

Han Fu, the newly appointed governor of Jizhou, arrived in Jizhou before Zhang Wen.

At this time, after receiving the report, Han Fu held a meeting to discuss

"The moth thief burned a large amount of charcoal, which was extremely unusual."

Although the weather turned cooler in Jizhou in December, it was not as cold as burning charcoal.

Han Fu asked Cao Cao,"Mengde, what do you think of this matter?"

Cao Cao is the grandson of Cao Teng. Although Cao Teng is a eunuch, he is praised by scholars all over the world.

Therefore, Han Fu still attaches great importance to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stood up and saluted and said:"The moth thief may be preparing to defend the city."

Guo Dian and others also thought so. After all, Zhang Wen had invited troops from various states to assist in the battle, and soon the court's reinforcements entered Jizhou.

Although the moth thieves were powerful, they still did not have the ability to face the imperial army head-on.

Although there was this possibility, Liu Bei frowned.

Cao Cao noticed Liu Bei's expression and asked,"Does Xuande have any different opinions?

Liu Bei said:"In the battle of Yecheng, the moth thieves did not defend the city." Guo

Dian laughed and said disapprovingly:"At this moment, at that moment, the imperial court sent troops from various states to Jizhou. The moth thieves thought they were invincible, so how could they dare to go out of the city to fight in the field?""

This is the truth, but Liu Bei and Zhou Cheng fought several times.

Except in Wancheng, Zhou Cheng really didn't look like a person who could defend the city.

On the way, Zhou Cheng liked Chen Bing to be outside the city, fighting the enemy in field battles.

Of course. , Liu Bei's position was low, and he had no solid basis to judge based on his feelings, so he said:"Maybe Bei is too worried."

Han Fu and others were chatting.

Suddenly, a soldier ran in and reported:"Master Governor, Youzhou Gongsun Zan's army and horses have entered Jizhou."

Coming so soon?!

Guo Dian and others were shocked.

After all, the troops of Liu Dai and others are still on the way, and it is estimated that it will take some time to arrive in Jizhou.

Of course, for Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan came to Jizhou , it is a timely help.

He and Gongsun Zan both studied under Lu Zhi, and Gongsun Zan is a person who values ​​friendship and friendship, so he will definitely not ignore him.
