The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 119 Emperor Zhong is eager to take Danyang
September, mid-term.

Danyang County, the county government, Wanling City.

After Yuan Shu's defeat in Shouchun, he crossed the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in the south, and ran to Danyang. The prefect of Danyang was his younger brother Yuan Yin.After arriving in Danyang, Yuan Shu made Liwan Mausoleum temporarily the capital of the Zhong family.

In the palace compound,
It is not so much a palace compound as it is a larger mansion. After all, compared to the Shouchun Palace, Wanling can only be regarded as a larger inn.

At this time, a civil official rushed over, and looked under the gazebo, Yuan Shu was half lying and half leaning, with several female concubines beside him, and six or seven dancers dancing not far away.

well!Wen Chen sighed heavily.

Stepping forward a few steps, the civil servant bowed and said, "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!"

"Oh~, where does the joy come from!"

Yuan Shu drooped his eyelids, squinted at Wenchen, and said without interest.Since he was defeated by Cao Cao, he has been devastated, enjoying himself all day long, without any fighting spirit.

Cao Cao is certainly hateful, but what he hates most is Zhang Xiu, because Zhang Xiu detained his beloved concubine in Jingzhou, which made him very annoyed when he missed her day and night.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that Cao Cao's generals stationed in Shouchun have withdrawn. It is said that they left because of the shortage of food. Now Shouchun City is empty. There is hope for my Dazhong's revival!"

Civil servant Nabai said with an excited expression.

Although Yuan Shu couldn't do it, he still wanted Zhong's family to make a difference. After all, he was already in the position of Jiuqing, and one person was below ten thousand.

"Really?" Yuan Shu sat up.

No matter how dilapidated Shouchun is, it is better than Danyang, a remote village. Moreover, Shouchun has palaces, and then he can ask those aristocratic families in Runan for some money, food and beauties, and he can enjoy himself.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, and the officers and men of Da Zhong can return to the capital again." Wen Chen said with tears of joy.

"Okay, hurry up, hurry up and send an order to order Ji Ling to rectify my Da Zhong's officers and men, and prepare to cross the north in clothes and clothes, return to Shouchun City, and reappear my Da Zhong's heroic appearance."

Yuan Shu chuckled, waved his sleeves and said.

"No, I'm going to deliver an order to summon all the officials to prepare to return to Shouchun and build the imperial capital." Wen Chen stood up excitedly, blushing and receding.

Watching the scholar recede, Yuan Shu smiled again, squeezed the wine glass, and said to the dancing girl who was standing still not far away: "Quick, continue dancing."

…………

In the second year of Jian'an, in late September.

The emperor of the Zhong family led all the officials across the river to the north, returning to Shouchun, hoping to recreate the prosperity of the past.

Of course, Shouchun was dilapidated, and a thousand wastes were waiting to be rebuilt. In the eyes of the world, Yuan Shu was already a dead bone in the tomb, and he still had the aura of the Jianghuai hegemony in his early years.

At this time, Wu County was in the mansion.

Sun Ce was dressed in a heroic armor and a white robe, and looked heroic. At this moment, holding a letter, he immediately laughed and said, "Hehe, good, Cao Mengde really didn't lie to me."

After finishing speaking, he raised his sword eyebrows and said overjoyedly: "Gongjin, then Yuan Shu really led the army back to Shouchun, and now Danyang is guarded by his younger brother Yuan Yin, and the garrison is less than [-]."

Zhou Yu smiled elegantly and said, "Take it!"

"Okay," Sun Ce yelled heartily, "Cheng Pu listens to the order, and you will be the vanguard general. Immediately, you will receive eight thousand elite armor and gallop straight to Danyang County."

"No!" Cheng Pu responded with a big stride.

"Han Dang listens to the order, and you lead the army to guard Wu County." Sun Ce looked at Han Dang and said solemnly.

"The last general takes orders." Han Dang felt helpless.

"The rest of the generals will prepare food at the third shift tomorrow and leave the camp at the fourth shift. They will follow me to Danyang, attack the entire county of Danyang in one fell swoop, and reject Yuan Shu and Jiangbei." Sun Ce hissed.

Once the tiger occupies Yangzhou, he will be regarded as the overlord, but this time he must be quick, and must take down Danyang before Zhang Xiu can react, and go straight to Yuzhang.

Only by winning Yuzhang can he feel at ease.

"No!" All the generals responded in unison.

It has to be said that Sun Ce's personal charm is still very strong. He has a lot of literary and military skills, and most of them are the backbone. In addition, Sun Ce is a righteous man, and it was only in this short period of time that several counties in Jiangdong were pacified.

Watching the generals leave, Sun Ce looked a little anxious, he wished he could kill Danyang now.Fortunately, Cao Cao notified him in advance, and he made preparations in advance.

"Gong Jin, how do you plan to attack Danyang in this battle?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu excitedly and said.

"Yuan Yin is cowardly and foolish, but we can gather all our forces and rush to attack Wanling. As long as Wanling is breached, the surrounding counties will surely surrender." Zhou Yu said solemnly.

Sun Ce nodded, finally able to fight again, which he had been longing for for a long time.

…………

In the same year, at the end of September.

Danyang, within the territory of Wanling.

It is already the autumn harvest season, and as far as the eye can see, the ears of millet have already been hung.

In the fields outside the city, three or two people looked at the fields in front of them. They felt sad and beat their chests. Because of the continuous drought in various places and the fleeing people, the corn production in Danyang was very low.

I saw a lean and dark old man grab a handful of tassels and rub them for a while, the light yellow millet appeared, but the yield rate was too low, only two-thirds of previous years.

"Old man, what, what can I do!" The old lady looked distressed and a little desperate. At this time, if the fields are not planted, it means that there is not much food to eat in winter, and the whole family will be hungry.

And now that Yuan Shu is extorting miscellaneous taxes and extortionate money, there is nothing left for them. If this continues, people will starve to death.

"Huh, don't talk about those useless ones, grab them as soon as possible." The old man urged, bent down and cut two handfuls of rice millet, straightened his waist, frowned slightly, and said ruthlessly: "It's really not possible, I will go to the mountains in winter Chop some firewood and sell it for money."

Hearing chopping firewood, the old lady's expression tightened.

Cutting firewood in winter is extremely dangerous. Not to mention the slippery mountain roads and the cold weather that cannot keep out the cold, the hungry wolves, tigers and leopards in winter alone are a big danger.

Before she could speak, she heard a panic yelling from afar.

Standing up and looking, the dust is flying, the flags are covering the sun, and the leader is dozens of riders in front.

"Fellow folks, don't panic. I am Sun Ce, the former general of the Han Dynasty. I am specially ordered to hunt down thieves, and I have no intention of harming you." Sun Ce raised his gun and shouted.

It's just that the people at this time have only one word for those who lead soldiers, fear!

The fear in their hearts made them leave in a panic, and they didn't dare to stay at all, even if the rations outside the city were extremely important to them, they didn't dare to stay for them.

It's the same for many miles in a row.

Zhou Yu patted his horse and chased after him. He looked at Sun Ce and said, "My lord, it is common for the people to panic. My lord should lead the army to go straight to Wanling, so that the hearts of the people can be stabilized."

Sun Ce nodded, and looked at Wanling City not far away.

He pointed his gun at Huang Gai, who was galloping towards him, and said, "Huang Gai, you immediately lead your people to set up camp and build a siege ladder overnight. You must be able to capture Wanling tomorrow, so as not to miss the people's autumn harvest."

"Promise!" Huang Gai clasped his fists in response.

Sun Ce glanced at it, it seems that this year's Danyang harvest is not too ideal, but fortunately, as long as he captures Danyang, he will have a piece of the autumn grain.

"Chen Wu, you lead dozens of brave cavalry, and shoot the letter of surrender prepared earlier into the city to disturb the morale of the army."

"Promise!" Chen Wu clasped his fists in response.
