On the Yangtze River, at night when you can't see your fingers, a team of boats tightened their sails, paddled with all their strength, and went up the river.
Since Cao Anmin left, the Liyangshui military camp has been completely deserted.Although the Beacon Tower along the river was still in use, Cao Ren's command was short of major generals because Cao Anmin had withdrawn a large number of troops.It was precisely because of giving up that Jiang Dong was given an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In the middle of the night, the Jiangdong Army, which had been waiting so hard, finally ushered in the best time. Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, all the troops went in under cover. In just half an hour, all the beacon towers along the river were breached.
Zhou Yu, who had initially succeeded, seized his opportunity and went all the way to attack Niuzhu and burn Liyang water village all the way.Before dawn, the entire territory of Liyang was lost.On the other side, Sun Ce led the cavalry to attack Quanjiao and Fuling at full speed. The Cao troops in the two places also surrendered without a fight, and all the southeast of Jiujiang changed hands overnight.
Shouchun lost several seals in one day, and Cao Ren was furious.
Since Cao Anmin left Jiujiang, all the elite soldiers were taken away.In the entire territory of Jiujiang, apart from the [-] headquarters troops brought by myself, there are [-] newly recruited new troops.
Although the troops in the headquarters are elite, but Jiujiang is so big, so few soldiers and horses are simply unsustainable.And the new army has only been recruited for less than a dozen days, and they are still trembling when they see blood, how can they be useful.
No matter how strong Cao Ren was, he would be powerless if he had no soldiers in his hands.
"General, Zhou Yu is aggressively attacking, and Hefei is also missing right now. At this speed, I am afraid that he will be able to reach Dade tomorrow." Le Jin's face was full of worry.
"General, the trouble is not limited to this. When our military spies came to report, Liu Biao's army suddenly set off from Yangquan and Anfeng, approaching Shouchun."
"What, Liu Biao!" Cao Ren really panicked.One Sun Ce is already a headache for him, if there is one more Liu Biao, wouldn't it drive him to a dead end?
"General, if this is really the case, we can only hurry up and ask Sikong to send troops." Li Dian has always been extremely prudent in his affairs, and if Cao Cao does not send reinforcements now, they will undoubtedly lose.
"Mr. Anmin beat Sun Ce and Liu Biao to the ground in Jiujiang with a few thousand people. At least we had 3 people, and we were killed in just a few days. Don't you know the reinforcements? Once this letter is sent out, what will the world think of you and me? The world will think that only Mr. Anmin of my Cao family can fight well, and everyone else is a fool."
"That's right!" Le Jin muttered softly.Among the three, Li Dian once dated Cao Anmin for a while, and was deeply impressed by the young master's mind and ability.Le Jin was always dissatisfied when he was forced to leave.Now that the war is uncertain, the resentment in my heart is constantly amplifying.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Immediately gather troops and go to Chengde first to prevent the two armies of Sun Ce and Liu Biao from uniting." Cao Ren was a little embarrassed. After all, he was also a member of the Cao clan. Le Jin said so, But there is no face on the face.
"promise!"
In Xuchang City, there are several express reports a day, all of which are about the battle in Jiujiang.Cao Cao didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ordered the civil and military under his command to discuss.
In the study, Cao Cao supported his head with his left hand, pointed at the bamboo slips with his right hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The situation in Jiujiang is urgent, which general would like to lead the army?"
Many generals are silent, as if they have their own concerns.
"My lord, Sun Ce and Liu Biao are coming in such a menacing manner, the lord must conquer them himself." Xun Yu said righteously.
"Self-conquest? My lord, the situation in Xuzhou is very good now. If we support Jiujiang, it will be a missed opportunity. I think it is better to use partial rescuers. As long as we capture Xuzhou, Sun Ce and Liu Biao will not dare to make mistakes." Cheng Yujian said.
"De Mou's words are very wrong. Xuzhou is in chaos right now. I'm afraid there will be no victory or defeat in the short term. Not only will our army go out at this moment, we will not win the victory. On the contrary, it may cause Lu and Cao to share the same hatred. Opposite me. Moreover, in the land of Jiujiang, there are many enemy troops, and General Zixiao has more than 1 people. How can he resist? If Jiujiang is lost, Sun Ce will completely occupy the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, and he can directly enter the land of Yanyu and Yuzhou." Xun You objected again. Cheng Yu.
Several counselors refuted each other, and there was no decision at all for a while, which made the generals feel gloating.
It has been rainy recently, and Cao Cao's headache has shown signs of recurring again. Now that they are making noise, he has a headache.It took a few taps before the headache burned and eased.
"Why doesn't Fengxiao speak?" Although Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu have surrendered to Cao Cao, the pattern of the five masterminds seems to have formed.But after all, Jia Xu is a newcomer, especially since Cao Anmin is involved in this matter, it is really difficult to say much at the moment.
"Jia, I have nothing to say." Guo Jia took out a wine gourd and took a sip as he spoke.
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and understood what the other party was thinking, and it was really useless to say anything else.
"Yuan Rang, you are the leader of the generals, don't you have anything to say?"
Xiahou Dun rolled his eyes, pointed to his throat and shook his head.Xia Houyuan said hurriedly, "Brother, I got sick yesterday and my throat was broken, so I can't speak."
The leader of the generals became like this, and Guo Jia among the advisers remained silent.The shogunate has become like this, and it really makes people feel that the atmosphere is extremely depressing.
The reason for today's situation is all because of Cao Anmin, a son of the Cao family who has defected.
"My lord, although Jiujiang is a county, I'm afraid you don't know its importance. Here I will tell you some specifics so that you can weigh it clearly." Dong Zhao walked out of the crowd with a stack of bamboo slips. walked out.
"Jiujiang currently has a population of 1103 million, most of whom are young and strong. The arable land is nearly 70 mu. According to the current situation of arable land, at the time of autumn harvest, the harvest per mu is at least five stones. Excluding some other factors, it is divided equally among everyone. About three stones on him."
"Three stones!" Everyone turned pale with shock when they heard the words.
1103 million people, three stones per person, isn't it 330 million stones of grain and grass.Even if they only pay 40% of the tax, they can get [-] shi of food and grass.
"And it's only half a year. The Huaihe River Basin can produce two crops a year. Even if we implement ten taxes and one tax, we can still get 80 shi of grain and grass a year."
"How is it possible, five stones per mu, Dong Zhao, are you right?" Cheng Yu looked at Dong Zhao suspiciously.All along, he has not been very pleasing to this guy, and at this critical moment, he suddenly said such words, which is tantamount to standing directly on the opposite side of himself.
"Five shi, in fact, this is very little. You may not know that we reclaim wasteland in the military academy, and we can get at least six shi of corn every season. Although the output of rice is not as good as corn, it will definitely not be less than five shi. mu."
Xun Yu bowed and said: "My lord, if this is the case, Jiujiang should not be lost. If such a fertile land is in our hands, within two years, our army's shortage of food and grass will definitely be solved."
When Cao Cao fought in the Central Plains, the biggest problem was the lack of food and grass.Even if you start farming now, the effect will not be great for a while.Now Jiujiang, a big granary, is in front of them. As long as it is managed well, the unfavorable situation can definitely be reversed.
"Wen Ruochayi!" Dong Zhao had a mysterious smile on his face.
"Oh? Did I say something wrong?"
"Most of the land in the Huaihe River is not fertile. It is all thanks to Mr. Anmin that such an output can be achieved. If he hadn't personally taught the people to cultivate, how could this output be achieved."
The name that had always wanted to be forgotten reappeared, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.Among the civil servants, Cheng Yu looked gloomy, Jia Xu looked regretful, Guo Jia looked resentful, Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other expressionlessly.Looking at those generals again, they all looked filled with righteous indignation.Throughout the past and present, there are many virtuous and talented sons; but a son who is a man of literary and martial arts, marches and fights, and governs the country is a pillar of talent, which is probably rare in thousands of years.Cao finally got one, but was forced to leave. Such a loss is more serious than losing the city and land.
"Okay, I've made up my mind. The army will move out immediately and fight in Jiujiang." Cao Cao stood up, his face extremely ugly, and he glanced around. The faint majesty made everyone dare not look directly.
"promise!"
Chapter 135 Watching Liu Xuande from the Wall
These days, Liu Bei has always lived in seclusion, and even his two virtuous younger brothers don't see much.The reason for this is because he accidentally recruited a counselor named Li Shanchang.His words and demeanor caught his eye, so he worshiped him as a military adviser, and he ate and slept at the same table every day, causing many people to look sideways at him, wondering who this Li Shanchang was.
Xiao Pei is sandwiched between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and Liu Bei's strength is extremely weak. Not to mention competing with the two of them, even if you want to protect yourself, you have to weigh your own weight.
But now, God suddenly gave him an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to accomplish great things.
Above the school grounds, the sound of military training was endless.
Liu and Li walked side by side, laughing constantly as they spoke.
"Military division, how is this army?"
"It's indeed an elite soldier. I'm still rude. I didn't expect the army under the lord's command to be so elite. With this army, there is no need to worry about major events being impossible."
Just as they were talking, Guan and Zhang walked over.
"Brother, military advisor."
"General Zhang, your way of training soldiers is a bit different!" A small fan appeared in Li Shanchang's hand as if by magic, and he fanned it gently, showing the demeanor of a celebrity.
"Old Zhang's military training focuses on being different. The most important thing in marching and fighting is courage! An army without courage is completely soft-footed shrimp on the battlefield. The soldiers and horses trained by my old Zhang , not only the voice is as loud as my old Zhang, but also full of courage."
"Hehe, what General Zhang said is indeed good. I admire it." Li Shanchang has always acted as a good old man since he joined Liu Bei's command. Whether it is Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, he can get along well with him.
Now this praise, although somewhat flattering, does make people sound a lot more comfortable.
