The land of Mobei is completely desolate. The autumn wind blows, and the yellow sand on the ground becomes even more desolate. Looking at everything in front of him, Zhao Yun can't help complaining. He has been to this desert many times. As for Cheng Feng's long river that deceived him, Luo Riyuan understands this deeply!
"Master Marquis! We have brought back 7,000 horses this time. Can we form cavalry?" Just when Zhao Yun was thinking about how to deal with Cheng Feng next time he saw him, the soldiers next to him interrupted his thoughts. !
"Well! We can form heavy cavalry!" Zhao Yun couldn't help but said proudly. The horses this time were carefully selected and can withstand the weight of thousands of kilograms. In this way, his heavy cavalry can be formed into an organic form! Cheng Feng set a standard for himself. The heavy cavalry could not exceed a thousand, otherwise he would be dragged to death. Although the aristocratic family did not dare to mess with Chang Shan, these supplies were in their hands, and with the development of the city. Cheng Feng also realized that the aristocratic family still has some uses!
"Great! Then we can become the pagoda army!" The soldiers were overjoyed, because they can become Zhao Yun's soldiers, which means that their abilities are the best in the entire army!
"Don't worry too much about this. Bring the war horses back first and build Bingzhou well. That's the most important thing!" Zhao Yun said with a smile, his calmness didn't look like a teenager at all!
"Yes! General!" said the soldier, but the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden!
"Report! A group of scouts were found ahead, about fifty people!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yun frowned. Everyone here is his own people, why are there scouts but they don't come to report to him?
"Quickly intercept it!" Zhao Yun said angrily.
"promise!"
"Yuan Shao's people?" Looking at the scouts in front of him, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown. This was not a good sign! Now the princes from all over the country are focusing on Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shao secretly gives Chengfeng a blow, he can completely eliminate Chengfeng's advantage. After all, Chengfeng's territory is too big, and Liaodong is not that big. The most important thing about stability is that no one will be willing to help Cheng Feng. I'm afraid there will be more people who will add insult to injury!
"Tell us your purpose! Otherwise it will be difficult for you to die! I, Zhao Yun, will do what I say!" Zhao Yun said coldly
"Ah! It's Zhao Yun!" The leading scout turned pale with fright upon hearing this.
"Master Marquis, spare your life, I say! We are sent by Guo Tu to open up a road through the Western Region so that we can ally with those foreign races!" said the scout!
"Hmph! I want to blind him!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly.
"It can't be that simple!" Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes and slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword!
"Also, let us pay more attention to the whereabouts and troop deployment of the Marquis and others, as well as the contact with Chang Shan. It is best to find the Marquis's food and grass supply line!" Another scout said
"Hmph! Yuan Benchu is so evil!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly.
"Master Marquis! What should we do with these people?" the guard asked. Upon hearing this, several scouts were so frightened that they quickly begged for mercy. They were so weak that they did not dare to look up at Zhao Yun again!
"Let him go! You go back and tell Yuan Shao to let him stay in Yecheng, otherwise I will kill him in Jizhou myself!" Zhao Yun said with a smile. He has not paid attention to these people yet. All he thinks about now is How to defend Bingzhou!
"Thank you Lord Marquis for not killing me!" Upon hearing this, several scouts quickly kowtowed!
"Go! Tell Zhang Liao and others to actively prepare for war. Yuan Shao may make big moves!" Zhao Yun ordered the people around him as he watched the scouts walk away.
"promise!"
Zhao Yun never expected that Yuan Shao's actions were true, but he did not attack Bingzhou and Jizhou. Instead, after receiving the news from Yuan Shu, he directly asked him for the jade seal, and Yuan Shu asked him to send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear first, so that he would They presented the jade seal, but the two did not reach an agreement. Then Yuan Shao took action decisively, beheaded Yuan Shu's envoy, and sent the head to Emperor Xian of Xu Duhan. He also exposed Yuan Shu's evil deeds to the world, completely dividing the Yuan family. !
"Haha! This Yuan Shu is at the end of his rope!" Cao Cao looked at the news in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
"Prime Minister, will Yuan Shao really send troops to attack our rear?" Cheng Yu asked worriedly, because Yuan Shao cannot be judged by common sense, and he often does things out of the ordinary!
"It's not impossible, so I put Cao Ren in Chenliu. As for Yan Liang, is there any whereabouts of him now?" Cao Cao said, as if he suddenly remembered something and asked
"Yan Liang has been stationed near Puyang since he left the Lu and Liu coalition forces with an excuse. I am afraid that Yuan Shao will land from Puyang, thus opening a gap to go south!" Xun Yu said
"It doesn't matter, a mere Yanliang can't make a difference. Unless Lu Bu dies, Yuan Shao won't dare to take Puyang's idea. After all, Lu Bu frightened the Yuan brothers at Hulao Pass!" Cao Mengde said with a smile.
"Will Yuan Shu use the jade seal to cause a fight?" Xun You asked.
"This is inevitable. The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the prosperity of the world is all for benefit! How could the princes with such heavy troops let go of this opportunity!" Cao Cao sighed.
"This? Please prime minister to defeat Shouchun as soon as possible, capture Yuan Shu, and return the jade seal to the emperor!" Xun Yu said
"Don't worry, Wen Ruo. When our army is rested, we will take down Yuan Shu in one go!" Cao Cao said with a smile. Although he was smiling, there was a burst of dissatisfaction in his heart. This Xun Wenruo still loves the imperial court!
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xun Yu was overjoyed.
"Send someone to Yu Jin and ask him to move forward quickly and cooperate with Liu Bei and others to quickly break the city!" Cao Cao said,
"promise!"
"Hmph! Damn Yuan Benchu, I'm really blind!" In Shouchun City, Yuan Shu had forgotten how many times this was the roar. Yuan Shao's attempt to draw firepower from the bottom of the cauldron finally put himself in the frying pan!
"Your Majesty, calm down. The overall situation is still the most important thing now. If Yuan Shao doesn't see the Jade Seal and doesn't send troops, why not send someone to send the Jade Seal!" Yang Hongdao
"Fart, Yuan Shao just wants the jade seal. Even if it is given to him, he will not send troops. Now we still have to rely on ourselves. Even without him, Yuan Shao, we can hold on!" Yuan Shu roared
"Send an order to Ji Ling and ask him to break the encirclement of Liu Bei and Lu Bu and eliminate the viable forces first. I estimate that Cao Cheng's army will arrive soon!" Yuan Shu said
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Under Yuan Shu's control, all parties are brewing new offensives. Yuan Shu needs time to defend Shouchun, while Cao Cao, Cheng Feng and others need to build the city they just occupied. As for Liu Bei and Lu Bu, under Yuan Shu's policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, They could only contain and consume Yuan Jun's power. Several forces reached a short-term peace, and this short period lasted for more than a year!
There was a severe drought, and there was basically no harvest in various places. The Huainan area under Yuan Shu's jurisdiction did not escape. In addition to the continuous fighting, the cultivated land was unattended and the granaries were basically empty. Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others also worked for food every day. And worry!
"Brother, it's better to ask Cao Cao for food and grass quickly!" Zhang Fei said. He hasn't drank for a long time, and the food is not enough to eat. How can he be willing to use it to make wine? Think about the Yanziwu in Peach Blossom Forest in Zhuo County, which was a small place every day. Drinking wine will moisturize you as much as you want!
"I'm afraid that Cao Cao doesn't have much food now!" Liu Bei couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Yuan Shu was so crazy that he defended Shouchun to the death. The people in Huainan were also fearless and forcefully held Shouchun. The people on his side withstood it. Even if Cao Cao's general general came to support him, he was stuck outside the pass. The entire Huainan Yangzhou became an iron barrel without any shortcomings!
"That doesn't matter. Cao Cao said that we would send troops and he would provide food and grass. Now we can't deny him anything. Then let's just retreat back to Xiaopei!" Zhang Feidao said
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Guan Yu said. He knew his third brother well. If he said he didn't want to do it, he might not do it anymore!
"Brother, you'd better send a letter to Cao Cao. We're really running out of food and grass!" Guan Yu also frowned and said,
"The Mi family doesn't have much food left!" Mi Fang glanced at Mi Zhu who was resting with his eyes closed and said.
"Okay! I'll give it a try. I hope Cao Cao can transport a batch of grain and grass!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord! Yuan Shao has taken action!" Cheng Feng was busy preparing to build the city wall for a while, when Guo Jia suddenly came over with a smile!
"Oh? Since the last time Zilong sent a message, there has been no movement from Yuan Benchu. What was his idea this time? Is it a sneak attack on Guandu? Or a surprise attack on Puyang?" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"None of them!" Guo Jia laughed
"Oh? Are you sending troops from Luoyang to attack Wancheng?" Cheng Feng suddenly became interested.
"Why must we fight Cao Cao?" Guo Jiadao
"Huh?" Cheng Feng was stunned. Yuan Shao sent troops in these directions. Could it be that he was fighting him? Then why didn't Zhao Yun send any news?
"Yuan Shao sent people to Liaodong!" Guo Jia laughed.
"Oh! I really can't bear it anymore!" Cheng Feng quickly took the letter over, and the more he looked at it, the closer he got!
"Why is Yuan Shao so crazy? He went to Liaodong to buy food?" Cheng Feng was speechless.
"There is a severe drought this year, which means we have food. After our development in Liaodong, we also have rice and potatoes from Champa. It can be said that we are rich in materials. Yuan Shao once thought of sending troops, but Xu Shu and Zhang He scared him back!" Guo Jia smiled and said
"The Yuan family is not short of food and grass. Yuan Shao doesn't need to buy so much food! Besides, these potatoes won't last long!" Cheng Feng was a little puzzled.
"It seems that Yuan Shao wants to study this new species!" Guo Jiadao
"Well! Send an order to Zilong, the governor of Jizhou and Liaodong all military affairs. If Yuan Shao's troops and horses are mobilized, they can look for opportunities to fight without asking for instructions!" Cheng Feng said. Although I don’t know what Yuan Shao is thinking, one thing is certain, that is, Yuan Shao will not come to give him money. This food and grass is not for his own military needs, but for Yuan Shu!
"No!" Guo Jiada said, "Then what should we do with Hefei? There are still not many people coming here?"
"Aren't there five thousand people?" Cheng Feng frowned.
"Most of these people are from the Beggar Clan, and some are prisoners from last time!" Guo Jia said speechlessly. Cao Cao directly took all the people back to Runan, leaving Cheng Feng with few people!
"It doesn't matter! Let's just build a military base! First define the scope and build the city wall, and then let's talk about the other personnel! By the way, we have to find a way to get Zilong and the others to send a batch of food and grass, and Zhang Xun will stay The supply of food and grass is almost at the bottom!" Cheng Feng smiled bitterly. In the past year, people in Hefei have become infrastructure construction madmen. This group of people, Cheng Feng, has also completely let go of food and drink. He only wants to build quickly!
"Mr. Tian Yu is probably ready and should be on his way here!" Guo Jiadao said that he was not interested in this kind of construction at all. He would rather attack a city and destroy it!
"That's good! By the way, is there any news from Shouchun City? It's been more than a year and there's still no fight!" Cheng Feng was a little puzzled. He promised to solve it quickly!
"We are still under siege. Cao Cao wanted to consume the strength of others, but Liu Bei and others also opened their mouths and took the opportunity to expand supplies!" Guo Jiadao
"Can we ask our people to open a gap for them and let them get busy!" Cheng Feng chuckled, which made Wu Tiangang and others feel chills on their backs and sweat on their foreheads!
"It must be possible! I have wanted to do this for a long time, but the time is not ripe yet. Wait a little longer. When Cao Cao can't sit still, I will do it again!" Guo Jiadao
While Cheng Feng and Guo Jia were discussing, Yuan Shu, who was far away in Shouchun, was carrying out a crazy campaign.
Mrs. Feng is a person who has no records in later history books, but she is one of the forgotten beauties of the Three Kingdoms. Official history records that her beauty was of great beauty, and her beauty was so outstanding that it aroused the jealousy of all the ladies. She was born into a family of officials. Her father was Feng Fang. During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, she served as Shangshulang and Sili Xiaowei. When Yuan Shu saw that Feng Fang's daughter was a stunning beauty, he couldn't help but be tempted and took her as his wife.
Yuan Shu had many wives and concubines in the palace, as many as a hundred, so it was inevitable for wives and concubines to compete for favor in the harem. Mrs. Feng, who was named queen, became a thorn in the side of many wives and concubines in the harem. The other women in Yuan Shu's palace were very jealous of Mrs. Feng's beauty and favor, so they gave Mrs. Feng a bad idea and wanted to torture Mrs. Feng to death. They said: "Yuan Shu likes women with integrity the most. If you want nothing to do, just do it." Cry, and he will definitely love you more." So, the simple Mrs. Feng did as they said. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Feng's crying not only did not anger Yuan Shu, but instead gained more favor from Yuan Shu. The harem lady saw The plot did not work, and they were very jealous, so they teamed up to strangle Mrs. Feng to death, and then hung her body on the toilet beam. After Yuan Shu saw this, he naively thought that his queen died of depression, so he buried her with a rich burial.
Mrs. Feng's death was a huge blow to Yuan Shu, which directly transformed him from a powerful hero to a greasy uncle. From then on, he ignored court affairs and only focused on drinking and having fun. Even the ministers who came to persuade and remonstrate. It's a dozen kills!
"Get out of here!" Yuan Shu was furious. Looking at those half-dressed palace maids, Yuan Shu missed Mrs. Feng very much!
"Your Majesty! Please take care of the dragon body!" Ji Ling is the only person Yuan Shu can trust, and he is the only one who dares to enter the palace!
"It's Ji Ling! What's going on with the army outside the city?" After Yuan Shu saw the person coming, he didn't lose his temper anymore. At the same time, he drew out his spear and let go of the seven or eight concubines around him!
"Liu Bei's army is preparing to attack the city, but Lu Bu is nowhere to be seen. The 5,000 men and horses we sent out have destroyed all the edible things nearby!" Ji Lingdao
"Yeah! Not bad! Get ready and give them a good blow to their morale. I want Shouchun to be their burial place!" Yuan Shu laughed crazily.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ji Ling was shocked and secretly determined to fight this battle successfully!
After Ji Ling exited, Yuan Shu looked at the dozens of beauties around him and suddenly became interested again. He couldn't help but start a fierce battle!
"Send the order! Get concubines from all over the city, and also recruit the food reserves, wives and daughters of the untouchables to expand military supplies!" Yuan Shu's excited voice came, making the ministers outside couldn't help but frown!
"Your Majesty, no!" Yang Hong said,
"Sir Yang, be careful!" Yang Hong was stopped by Ji Ling before he could speak. "Now His Majesty is crazy and will not listen to other people's advice. If Mr. Yang continues to give advice, it will only be in vain. It’s just a life, it’s better to appease the people and do something practical for the whole city!” Ji Lingdao said, he really looked down upon these literati. Firstly, he didn’t have the eyesight to see, and secondly, they really were hundreds of people. It's useless. Wen can't govern the country and bring peace to the country. Wu can't go on the field to kill the enemy. He will only do some ridiculous things for his so-called reputation! If possible, Ji Ling really wanted to kill these people with a knife!
"No? Pull him out and chop him!" Yuan Shu said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Mr. Yang is also thinking about your Majesty's health!" Ji Ling said quickly.
"What a joke! Could it be that I have fallen in love with these untouchables? I am thinking about the 300,000 troops in the city. If the city is broken, what use are the people who can't be used by me?" Yuan Shu said angrily.
"Let all the people in the city defend the city. The men will serve as soldiers and the women will serve as logistics. Anyone who refuses to go will be punished on the spot!" Yuan Shu's murderous voice made the hall roar!
"This?" Several civil servants looked at each other, shocked!
"No need to say more, let's get ready!" After Yuan Shu finished speaking, waves of overwhelming sounds came from the hall soon!
"My lords, please come! It seems that this is the final war!" Ji Ling sneered.
"Please ask the general to take charge!" Yan Xiang and other civil servants stopped pretending and said to Ji Ling. They were really shocked this time. They were Dacheng's ministers and had betrayed the Han Dynasty. Even if they surrendered again, they would not be accepted by the world and would only receive endless ridicule!
"Logistics depends on you. I have my own ideas for killing enemies on the battlefield!" Ji Lingdao
"Okay! We will definitely win if we work together!" Yan Xiang said with a smile. Although it was a bitter smile and it didn't look good, he finally managed to do it as one!
