Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103

After Tai Shici received Cheng Pu's news, he immediately rectified his troops and horses, and at the same time sent someone to send a letter to Sun Quan of Dantu to make Sun Quan prepare.

After Tai Shici finished rectifying his army and rushed to join Cheng Pu, he found that Cheng Pu had been defeated. Of the 3000 people, only over 1000 were left, and the rest were either killed or captured or ran away.

Taishi Ci did not have many soldiers, only 4000.After he was defeated in Yuzhang and returned to Danyang County, he also recruited a lot of soldiers and horses.

But there are two conditions that restrict the number of his soldiers, population and food.

Because Yangzhou is far away from the Central Plains, its population is not very large.Moreover, there are still mountains and more chaos, and the Han people don't want to live in these remote areas at all.If it weren't for the wars in the north in recent years, many people have come to escape the chaos, Yangzhou's population may be the second-to-last among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, only a little better than the more remote Jiaozhou.

When Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, Liu Yao and Tai Shici recruited many soldiers in the Danyang area. It has only been a few years, and it is impossible to recruit a large number of soldiers.

There is also the problem of food. Danyang people are fierce and good soldiers, but they are not qualified farmers.No matter how fertile the land in Jiangdong is, without good farmers, there will be no food.In history, it was after Sun Quan established the Wu State, coupled with the hundreds of years of governance in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty, that Jiangdong became a land of fish and rice.

Later, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it became a rich place in the world.But at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not much better than Liangzhou, and it was not as important as Liangzhou.

No one was without food, and Tai Shici and Cheng Pu only raised less than 4000 soldiers successively.However, these people have to be divided into counties, and Tai Shici can only bring [-] people.

Seeing Tai Shici approaching, Cheng Pu couldn't help sighing: "Zhang Yi's soldiers are indeed the best in the world!"

Tai Shici nodded and said, "That's true. Is there an opportunity by the river now?"

"No!" Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "Zhang Yi is very cautious. He keeps a troop in formation at all times to prevent our army from attacking."

Tai Shici knew how to change things. "Since this is the case, I will return to Spring Valley and rely on the fortified city to garrison. I have already sent someone to inform the lord. I believe that the lord's reinforcements will arrive soon."

Cheng Pu nodded and said, "That's all."

So the two returned to Chungu County, and while moving the people around Chungu County into the city, they collected supplies, hoarding enough stones, wood, and grain before Zhang Yi besieged the city.

Zhang Yi received the report from the scouts, and immediately said to the generals: "Jiangdong Army is afraid, and has already hid in the city."

Shi Jin and Chu Lie said: "My lord, Shi Jin is willing to be the vanguard and break through Chungu County."

Zhang Yi was dumbfounded, this Shi Jin really didn't know how high the sky was and how high it was!There were Taishi Ci and Cheng Pu in Spring Valley County, but Shi Jin actually wanted to attack Spring Valley with a vanguard army, so he didn't take these two people seriously at all!

But think about it, Shi Jin was an arrogant person in the first place, and it was clearly recorded in "Water Margin".But what he had to face first was not the Song army in "Water Margin", but the two tiger ministers in Jiangdong. He was so arrogant that he would definitely lose the battle.

Zhang Yi ignored Shi Jin and turned to Li Jing: "Pharmacist, how do you think we should fight?"

Seeing that Zhang Yi ignored him, Shi Jin couldn't help but raise his voice, "My lord, the final general is willing to be the vanguard, and he is willing to be a military order if he doesn't break the spring valley!"

Everyone looked at Shi Jin like a fool, how could a subject talk to the lord like this?Just now the lord obviously didn't want you to come forward, and he was too embarrassed to refute you, so you just go downhill.But you are lucky, but you kick your nose on your face instead!
Zhang Yi was also angry, "Speaking in the army, how can it be child's play?"

Shi Jin obviously ignored everyone's intentions, and only felt that the lord did not give him face.Before Di Qing didn't give him face, he insisted on sneaking into Shu County, opened the city gate and let Di Qing enter the city.Now that Zhang Yi doesn't give him face, then he will break the spring valley and make another great contribution!

Zhang Yi was also angry, "Since you insist on going, take the headquarters as the vanguard, Li Jin and Li Bao, you two have made great achievements in the battle today, and now you have been promoted to Du Bo, Shi Jin's deputy, and go to Spring Valley with him county!"

Although Shi Jin was a little reluctant that Zhang Yi would send him two assistants, he glanced at Zhang Yi's face and knew that the lord was really angry.It was only then that he remembered that he and the lord were not familiar, if he kept messing around, he would lose his head.

"promise!"

Shi Jin clapped his hands and went out, feeling cold sweat dripping down his back.

Seeing that Shi Jin had gone out, Zhang Yi's complexion improved, and he said with a little regret: "Shi Jin is too pampered and doesn't know how to be self-confident, and sooner or later he will suffer. You all have to remember, don't learn from Shi Jin."

All the generals quickly agreed, they were all sweating for Shi Jin just now, for fear that Zhang Yi would kill him.It seems that the lord is still very kind, like Shi Jin, and he didn't kill people casually.But he warned the generals that it was not Weide.

Li Jing stood up at this time and changed the subject, "My lord, under the management of Chungu Jing Chengpu and Tai Shici, the city is bound to be high and the pond is deep, so we should siege the city first."

Zhang Yi nodded, "I think so too, but we have more than 2 people, and it would be a waste of time to attack only one place! But if we divide our troops to other places, if Sun Quan sends reinforcements and our army is in a weak position, what should we do?" manage?"

Li Jing said: "My lord, you should divide your troops."

"Why?"

"Sun Quan is far away in Dantu. If we send troops, it will take ten and a half months. We can take the opportunity to send a general to attack Lingyang and Qianxian in the south, and station there, in case Sun Quan promises to benefit Shanyue."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes.

At this moment Liu Ye stood up and said to Zhang Yi: "My lord, I can promise some benefits to Shanyue and let them harass Sun Quan's Kuaiji and Wujun to divide their forces."

After Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately vetoed it: "No way, the people of Shanyue, if they are not educated with virtue, they will commit more crimes. Wujun, Kuaiji and other places will be my people in the future, how can they be killed?"

All the generals bowed immediately, "My lord is benevolent."

"Alright, Lin Fengxiang!"

"The last general is here!" Lin Fengxiang stood up.

"You take your troops south to Lingyang. After you break through Lingyang, move to Qianxian County, and then defend the mountains to the east and make trouble. If you have a chance, you can attack east. However, don't be careless, so as not to be calculated by others!"

Lin Fengxiang immediately said: "No!"

Lin Fengxiang also led his troops and went straight to Lingyang in the south.

After leaving Shi Jin and Lin Fengxiang, Zhang Yi waited for the follow-up troops to be transported from Jiangbei before starting to plan for the next step.He had another 2 troops in his hands, and then he asked Li Jing to lead an army of [-] troops to march to Spring Valley to help Shi Jin, and asked Li Jing to act according to the opportunity, and the logistics would be handed over to him.
