Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 188

Time flies, and it will be March of the next year in a blink of an eye, and it will be another year of spring plowing.

In the autumn of last year, the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang once again had a bumper harvest, and the four counties of Jiangdong had a normal harvest. Originally, the four counties of Jiangdong had a good harvest.However, Wujun and Kuaiji were hit by typhoons, and Yuzhang and Danyang were hit by mild floods, which reduced the already bumper harvest to below normal levels.

When he heard about the floods in Yuzhang and Danyang, Zhang Yi was a little scared. Thinking about the great floods in later generations, he was really afraid.But after he thought about it carefully later, it seemed that only the Yellow River flooded in history, and there was no record of the Yangtze River flooding!
Why is this?Zhang Yi thinks there may be several reasons.First, the weather in this era is cold, and the glaciers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are not melting quickly; second, the river channel of the Yangtze River is wide enough to hold the water of the Yangtze River; People didn't take it seriously when there was a small flood.

No matter what the situation is, Zhang Yi will not take it lightly. He deliberately asked the counties along each river to repair the dams again.

The bumper harvests in Jiujiang and Lujiang made these two counties more prosperous, and Zhang Yi's rule became more stable.The people in these two counties feel that Zhang Yi is a monarch bestowed on them by the heavens. Otherwise, why did they get good harvests after Zhang Yi ruled them?

The people are very simple, and Zhang Yi has brought them a good life, so they treat Zhang Yi very well.Many places began to build life shrines for Zhang Yi, and some places even started to popularize the Jade Emperor Taoism, and even built the Jade Emperor Temple for worship.

In March, when Zhang Yi was preparing for spring plowing, Cao Cao suddenly sent troops to Li Yang.

Although Liyang belongs to Jizhou, it is not far from Puyang in Dongjun, and Puyang is an important town in Dongjun. Yuan Tan's troops in Liyang have been able to threaten Cao Cao's hinterland.Before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao stationed troops here to fight against Yuan Shao.Now it has become the place where the Yuan family fought against Cao Cao, and it is also the cycle of heaven!
The battle reports from the north continued to spread to Zhang Yi's several cases. Every time Zhang Yi received information, he would call Liu Ye and Liu Muzhi to discuss.

"Yuan Shang has sent additional troops to Li Yang, how long do you think they can last?"

"Yuan Shizi is far inferior to Yuan Benchu, and it's not bad if he can withstand it for a few months."

A month later, another battle report came, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were defeated and retreated to Neihuang.Two months later, Eryuan retreated to Yecheng.In June, Cao Cao attacked Yecheng, but he did not attack for two months.Under Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao chose to retreat after harvesting the wheat around Yecheng.

"Cao Cao must have a plan to retreat!" Liu Muzhi said, "Otherwise Cao Cao would not have easily retreated."

Liu Ye said: "Cao Cao's retreat is only for Yuan's internal strife. If he attacks too quickly, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will definitely unite. After he retreats, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will fall apart. After the two internal friction, Cao Cao will have It's an opportunity."

Zhang Yi nodded, and he also agreed with this point of view.In fact, Cao Cao did the same.And he was very lucky to have two helpers, one was the stupid Yuan Tan, who sent Xin Ping to ask Cao Cao for help when he couldn't beat Yuan Shang.

The second one is the buyer's Xin Ping, who directly fell to Cao Cao and sold Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Now that he knew Cao Cao's plan, how could Zhang Yi make Cao Cao's wishful thinking succeed?He asked Liu Ye, "Did Gan Ning and the others go to Yandu?"

"It's here!" Liu Ye said.

"Then order Gan Ning to go north!"

"promise!"

The seaport of Yandu County was completed in June this year and can accommodate [-] sea-going ships.Because of the terrain, the port will not freeze in winter.

After Zhang Yi's order arrived at Yandu, Gan Ning immediately ordered the sea boats to prepare.Then boarded his flagship and shouted vigorously: "Set sail!"

This is not the Navy's first expedition, but it is indeed the Navy's first cross-state expedition.This time they will cross Qingzhou and directly attack Bohai County in Jizhou.

That's right, it's an attack.This time Zhang Yi gave up the previous support strategy, because Zhang Yi found that the IQ of the two brothers of the Yuan family was not online at all, and it was easy to be cheated as teammates with them.

So, Zhang Yi changed to attack.After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, the two Yuans would definitely fight.At this time, Zhang Yi's sudden attack on Bohai County will definitely attract Er Yuan's attention, and it will be a while to unite them for a while!
Of course, Gan Ning did not use the banner of Zhang Yi this time, but the banner of Cao Cao.Only in this way can the Yuan brothers pay attention, and prevent Cao Cao from knowing in advance that Huainan has developed a sea-going ship.

Twelve ships braved the wind and waves, directly followed the coastline, went north to Qingzhou, then bypassed Qingzhou and entered the Bohai Sea.

This is not the first time to fight across the sea in the late Han Dynasty. As early as more than ten years ago, Liu Yi of Liaodong had already attacked Donglai across the sea.

But Liaodong's warships are definitely not comparable to Gan Ning's current posture, and it can be said that they are not at the same level at all.

Twelve large and small ships lined up, forming a beautiful landscape from big to small.The island ship cleaves the waves in front, providing an easier waterway for the small boats behind.

This was also Gan Ning's first long voyage, and he asked the scribes and craftsmen on board to record things that needed to be recorded.This is Zhang Yi's request. Zhang Yi needs detailed information for everything he does, and sailing is no exception.

On September [-]th, Gan Ning logged in near Bohai County, and then used the banner of Cao Bing to raid a county town.

Of Gan Ning's twelve ships, there were two island ships, four reef ships, and six sea fish ships.A total of [-] soldiers were brought, and the capture of Yangxin was very sudden, and Yangxin was taken away by Gan Ning without even realizing it.

Gan Ning didn't expect Yangxin to be so easy to attack, but after accidentally capturing Yangxin, he was even happier.He said to Pan Zhang: "Transport everyone in Yangxin back to Guangling, and I will continue to plunder the population here, and it will hurt the Yuan family, so it will benefit the master's plan."

Yangxin has a population of several thousand households, more than [-] people, and Pan Zhang put them on a boat and brought them back to Yandu.

And Gan Ning took the remaining 4000 people with Yangxin as the foundation, and continued to plunder the population of the surrounding counties.

In less than a month, news of the appearance of Cao Bing in Bohai County reached Yecheng.Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang wanted to turn their backs because of Cao Cao's retreat at this time!When they heard the news, they all thought that Cao Cao was playing tricks, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

Yuan Shang asked people to investigate what was going on in Bohai County. Cao Jun suddenly appeared in Bohai Navy, which was a bit too sudden.
