Chapter 387
Xiang Chu annihilated the combined forces of Goguryeo and Sanhan, with no more than 3,000 casualties, which was a complete victory.
Zengdi City was already dilapidated and there were no old people, so Xiang Chu had to abandon it and lead his army to Lelangcheng.
As Cao Cao retreated south to Lelang, the city officials he appointed also retreated south, taking with them money and grain from the city.
If it weren't for Xiang Chu's feelings, and relying on Xiang Chu to provide a ship to cross the sea, he might even take the people in the city away.
On the scythe chariot, the mink said thoughtfully:
"Husband-kun! If it weren't for the capture of the grain and grass in Zengdi City, our grain and grass would really be unsustainable. "
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, we have to fight quickly, 50,000 stone grain grass and 80,000 soldiers, and hold out for ten days at most." "
Kazehime suggested, "Fu-kun! Cao Cao's officials took money and grain from various cities, and they could have asked him for some. "
"No, their expedition to Evil Horse Terrace has been protracted, and they need food and grass more than us."
Xiang Chu knew that the nation on the Evil Horse Terrace would definitely stand firm and clear the wild against foreign invasions.
Du Wei leaned into Xiang Chu's arms and said with a smile:
"Husband-kun! You want to consume both the barbarian and Cao Cao, and then sit on the fisherman's profit. Hee-hee! "
Xiang Chu stroked her long black hair and nodded, "Madame is so smart, it is true!" "
It was late autumn, and there were many maple forests along the way, and the maple leaves were red, like flames.
The five husband and wife laughed and talked all the way on the rolling sickle chariot, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and unknowingly arrived at Lelang City.
When the people in the city learned that Xiang Chu led the army to come, they spontaneously went out of the city to kneel to greet them, and more than 50,000 people cried and rushed to the ground, seemingly suffering great grievances.
Xiang Chu stood on the rolling sickle chariot and shouted loudly: "Father and old folks! Everyone, get up quickly~. "
Zhang Fei and other generals immediately ordered the soldiers to step forward and help the people who were kneeling outside the city up.
At the head was an old man who cried loudly: "Prime Minister! We look forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have you here. Whining! "
Xiang Chu jumped off the scythe chariot, lifted the old man up, and asked with concern, "Old man!" You seem to have suffered a great deal of grievance. "
The old man got up and wept, "Prime Minister! We are all Han people, but we have always been enslaved by the three Han people, and from time to time they come to rob our men, money, grain and livestock, and their hatred is as deep as the sea! "
Xiang Chu exclaimed, "Hasn't Youzhou always had a state pastor, and Lelang has always had a taishou, don't they care?" "
The old man shook his head and said, "They only know how to collect money and grain, Latin fights, and they have thought about dealing with Sanhan for a while." Alas! "
Some people chanted: "Prime Minister! If you don't come, our Lelang City will be like Zengdi City, slaughtered by Sanhan, please destroy Sanhan and avenge us. Whining! "
The people outside the city knelt down in unison and shouted, "Prime Minister! Please destroy Sanhan and avenge us! "
Xiang Chu didn't expect that the people of Lelang County City had such a bitter hatred for Sanhan, but it boosted his main mission.
Xiang Chu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I Xiang Chu will definitely give you an explanation, now that it is dark, everyone quickly get up and enter the city, and the army will also set up camp outside the city." "
He can't say in front of so many people that he wants to destroy Sanhan, and there may be Sanhan's treachery.
Something as important as this can be done, but try not to say it first, otherwise it will not achieve good results.
Who knows that the people shouted: "Prime Minister! Please go into the city and rest and stay in our house. "
Xiang Chu did not expect that there were such people supporting the army under the sky, but seeing that most of the people on the scene were women, he pulled the leading old man aside.
He whispered, "Old man! You have too many women here, and it will be inconvenient for the army to enter the homes of the people. "
The old man shook his head and said, "Prime Minister! Don't hide from you, our men in Lelang County were captured and slaughtered by various forces, except for old people like us, there are no young adults, you are an adult. "
"I see!" Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and paused, "That's right!" What is your name? "
The old man wept and said, "Return to Prime Minister!" The old man is called Li An, when he was young, he was engaged in Lelang County, the princes were divided, Lelang is too miserable, you are pitiful here. "
Although the old man was old but in good spirits, Xiang Chu clapped his hand and said, "'Li An! Prime Minister Ben appointed you as the commander of Lelang County. "
Li An actually knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed, "Thank you Prime Minister!" Li An did not expect that he could realize his ideal in life when he was nearing his age. "
The army entered the city in an orderly manner and arranged into the homes of the people in the city, as for what happened next, Xiang Chu didn't bother to ask, after all, it was something you wanted.
Xiang Chu and his four ladies lived in the city guard mansion, and Li An and other old men offered food, but were dissuaded by Xiang Chu.
"Li Junshou! You are not rich, keep these for yourselves, and the prime minister brought his own altar of grain and grass. "
Li An smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister! Before Cao Cao's army left, he took all the food and grass in the city, and the people in the city lacked food, and I am afraid that they would not survive this winter. "
Xiang Chu really wanted to scold his mother, daring to feel that this old man lent himself food to ask for food.
"Don't worry! Food Ben Cheng helped you figure it out. Xiang Chu said with a smile and paused, "What kind of grain do you mainly produce here?" "
Li An handed over his hand: "Return to the prime minister!" We can grow rice and wheat here, but fishing is the fastest. "
"Fishing?" Xiang Chu picked up the map of Lelang County, pointed to the south of Lelang City and said, "Not bad!" South of the city is the confluence of the river and the sea, and there must be a lot of fish. "
Li An shook his head and said, "We can't catch too many fish, firstly, the fishing boat was snatched away by the Mahan people, and secondly, there is no young and strong labor." "
"Wait for tomorrow, I will lead the troops to help you go fishing, to ensure that the people of the city have enough food to survive the winter."
Xiang Chu said with a smile and paused, "And I have high-quality rice seeds, wheat seeds, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and other seeds, and I will teach you to plant them." "。
