Three Kingdoms Eschatology

The cavalry of the Jingzhou army was damaged, and their vigor was lost.But the pawns behind Ren Jiu rushed up the ramp like a flood.Many of them also held spears, and they were longer than the spears held by the Zhuyang scouts.

Dian Qing yelled: "Oil!", and three or four scouts behind them threw several pots filled with vegetable oil to the ramp.The cans of broken oil were overflowing, and the Jingzhou army's infantry couldn't bear the strength on their feet, and they started to slip.Even if you barely slip down the slope with your hands and feet, you can't move up an inch.

The scouts dropped their spears, took off the strong bows behind them, bent their bows and fired arrows, and shot at the Jingzhou soldiers down the slope.The Jingzhou infantry who had no cover and concealment were shot and killed one after another.

Then, some scouts threw soju and dry firewood onto the ramp, and used rockets to ignite a fire on the ramp.At this time, the building on the other side had been burnt down.

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan hurriedly said to Cai Mao: "General, send an order to retreat quickly, otherwise the slope car will be destroyed by the enemy." Before he could finish speaking, Cai Mao ordered someone to blow the horn to retreat...

Chapter 042

On the southwest bank of Mianshui.Dozens of armored knights are galloping on horseback, chasing a rout of soldiers.Look at those broken soldiers, their clothes are disheveled, their helmets and armor have been removed, and many of them are even barefoot.These rout soldiers didn't run very far before they were stopped by cavalry. The distraught rout soldiers could only drop their weapons and kneel down to beg for surrender.

"Master, please forgive us. We are all old and young. We are all forced to serve as soldiers."..."Yes, sir, if we are gone, the family will be lost. Please. Uncle, let us go." They kept bowing to each other while begging for mercy.

The leader of the knight rode out, grunted twice before saying:

"Fortunately, our Lord Marquis has an edict, otherwise you will all be beheaded or kidnapped and punished as hard labor. Which of you is single and not burdened? You can follow us to my Zhuyang Hou Kingdom. There are fields and jobs there. If you are a soldier There is a meal of meat every two days, fine flour bread on weekdays, and milk every morning.”

Speaking of this, the bearded man took a mouthful of foam and said: "But that goat's milk is really bad... Well, if you have a family and a mouth, you can come to Zhuyang with your family and mouth after you go back."

This group of rout soldiers showed puzzled expressions, they didn't expect that the other party could really let them go back.An older man muttered: "Master, this... can we go now?" After speaking, he raised his head and took a peek at the tall horse covered with a bronze mask.

The bearded man gave them an affirmative answer: "Well, you can go if you put down your weapon, but remember that if you can't find a way out in the future, you can come and vote for us to build Yang."

In the end, only a few defeated soldiers expressed their willingness to go to Zhuyang, and the rest expressed their willingness to bring their relatives back after returning.But the bearded man believes that only a few people here will really do this.But as long as you express the meaning of the lord Feng Yu to them, you will complete the task yourself.

These cavalry are naturally the tiger and leopard cavalry of Zhuyang.And these defeated soldiers were Jingzhou soldiers who besieged Xiangyang Wubao.

On the afternoon of the afternoon when Cai Mao was unable to attack Xiangyang Wubao, Feng Yu rushed back to Zhuyang from Fangling by boat.Before anyone disembarked, they took most of Zhuyang's troops and more than ten ships of various sizes to Xiangyang to rescue Dianqing.

The Jingzhou army was the first to discover the enemy's situation were the seven or eight ships cruising in the Mian water.They did not dare to fight the menacing Zhuyang fleet, and while fleeing downstream, they sent people ashore to call for emergency at the Jingzhou army camp.

In the way of using soldiers, Cai Mao is young and mature.Without Zhuge Xuan's reminder, he understood that the current Jingzhou army was unable to attack for several days and suffered heavy casualties.Morale was already low.At this time, it is absolutely impossible for them to withstand the full blow of the opponent's reinforcements.Cai Mao hastily issued an order for the entire army to pull out the camp and retreat.

But before the Jingzhou army pulled out its camp, the Zhuyang army had already landed on the banks of the Mianshui River near Wubao in Xiangyang.The flustered Jingzhou army saw tigers and leopards rushing towards the camp, followed by a large number of Zhuyang army infantry.

The Jingzhou army, which was about to retreat and had low morale, fled southward in a disorderly manner, and eventually turned into a rout.Not long after, they were dispersed by the tiger and leopard riders with only [-] riders, while Cai Mao, Zhuge Xuan and a few soldiers boarded the Mianshui boat and narrowly escaped danger.

The setting sun shines on the slightly dilapidated Xiangyang Wubao.Under the rays of the sun, Dian Qing kowtowed to Feng Yu on one knee and said, "Dian Qing, my subordinate, has fulfilled his mission and guarded this Wubao. I hereby report to my lord."

Looking at his blood-stained face and the dozens of scarred scouts behind him, Feng Yu couldn't help sighing, "You guys are all heroes of my Yang-building!"

……

In the next few days, the household registrations migrated from Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng were put in place one after another.A total of about 4000 people were counted before and after.Feng Yu spent fourteen storage cards to accommodate them all as the system population.

At the same time, a large number of infrastructure houses and various basic crop fields were built for them, not only wheat fields, but also vegetable and fruit fields, and even two bee farms were added.Yes, the bee farm is also the basic agricultural facility of the system, and it can be built without a special building facility card.

With a sufficient population, there will be sufficient surplus manpower.In order to build some special facilities.

On the outskirts of the North Gate of Zhuyang, two strange and mysterious buildings rose from the ground.People in Zhuyang passing by can sometimes hear the barking of bulldogs and the howling of another unknown creature.The two facilities are the great ape training camp and the bulldog kennel training ground built here.

A Viking shipbuilding workshop was also set up beside the original shipyard.

The area in Zhuyang City is limited, and Feng Yu seldom builds general building facilities in it.But now, beside a small river that passes through Zhuyang City, a building rises from the ground.It is the workshop that can refine light yellow coarse salt into pure white refined salt.

Feng Yu thought about the last five potato fields for a while, and decided to use them for the time being.

Once potato fields appear in this world, it will greatly increase food production.Feng Yu didn't want to keep this secret to maintain his advantage.

But according to the behavior of the princes of the world.If potatoes are popularized, they will inevitably put the remaining young and strong population on the battlefield. In this way, instead of increasing the population, potatoes will have a negative effect.

So there is no need, Feng Yu will not use these potato field cards for the time being.Even if it is used in the future, it must be secretly planted in a confidential place.

But now, when it is really not necessary, although the population of Zhuyang has increased greatly, it has more than doubled.But the grain in the granary is enough for everyone to eat until next year's spring sowing, and this year's autumn harvest season, Zhuyang City will also harvest a wave of grain.It is estimated that more than 5000 people will be able to eat until next year's autumn harvest, which is more than enough.

All of a sudden, the items in the system package were almost cleaned up, leaving only a few containment cards, the containment cards and five potato fields.Feng Yu began to reorganize the army again.

After making up for the battle damage during this period, except for the two teams of spear and shield soldiers who stayed in Wu County, Feng Yu changed all the remaining teams of spear and shield soldiers into spear-throwing and shield soldiers.The spear-and-shield soldiers who stayed in Wu County can be transferred to spear-throwing, spear-and-shield soldiers in the barracks after they change their defenses.

Spear shield soldiers and spear throwing spear shield soldiers are almost the same, the only difference is that the latter carries two more short spears for use as javelins.They will practice the tactics of throwing short spears in the barracks to increase their long-range strike ability.

Of course, those heavy soldiers still use short spears and round shields that can be carried on their backs.

Corresponding to the large increase in population, Feng Yu reorganized 31 new teams of soldiers, combined with the original [-] teams of soldiers that did not include inland sailors.At present, there are [-] teams in Zhuyang City, divided into six battalions, plus a scout team of Feng Yu's personal soldiers.

Among them, three teams of tiger and leopard cavalry were added, and all the original infantry scouts were transferred to cavalry scouts.The difference between the two is that the latter has more horsemanship and riding and archery skills than the former.Of course, they are no different from infantry scouts when they have no horses.

In addition to a young horse that had just grown up at the Zhuyang Racecourse, these horses also included a batch of healthy Xiliang horses purchased from horse dealers from the north of Wuguan Road.

After finishing all this, sitting alone in the study, Feng Yufang, who had been busy with the system for a while, let out a sigh of relief.Li'er had quietly come up behind him, gently pinched his shoulders and beat his back.

Chapter 043 Peace Talk

After several consecutive days of sunny and hot weather, a sudden downpour enveloped the entire Yicheng in a curtain of water.

In the mansion, Liu Biao kept staring blankly at the waterfall-like water curtain outside the hall, as if he was thinking about something.The staff members who entered the hall one after another, the general didn't let him turn his head to take a look.

In the past few days, failures have come one after another.Cai Mao also failed to attack Xiangyang, and was defeated by the reinforcements led by Feng Yu himself.After the [-] soldiers gathered, there were only less than [-] left. This was the result of Feng Yu's "forgiveness" and he did not kill the rout of Jingzhou.

Immediately afterwards, Kuai Tong also brought news of the fall of Wu County.But this is not too bad news for Liu Biao.

A few days ago, in order to take care of the mood of the Kuai family.Liu Biao reluctantly sent two thousand soldiers to reinforce Wu County.Halfway through, Wu County had already fallen, so there was no need to fight this battle again.

In addition, the isolated Wu County is very important to the Kuai family, but not very important to Liu Biao or Jingzhou.After all, Jingzhou also has salt sources from Jiangdong and Lingnan.

Only when the guard reminded: "My lord, everyone is here." Liu Biao turned his head and looked squarely at the crowd.Before he could speak, Cai Mao stood up from his seat, came to the hall, knelt down and said to Liu Biao:

"The subordinates failed to attack Xiangyang, lost troops and lost generals. They really owed the lord's trust. Please punish the lord!"

Liu said expressionlessly: "Cai Mao, get up. It's not your fault, Feng Yu is really powerful. In a short period of time, he swallowed up the three counties of Handong and Dongdong, and even took down Wu County. He has become the overlord of the dominant side." Xiao, it’s no wonder you couldn’t take Xiangyang.”

Wenpin, who was still wrapped in bandages beside him, had an imperceptible change on his face.He certainly didn't want to see the defeat of the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang.But Cai Mao's defeat finally brought him back some face.

When Liu Biao finally mentioned Wu County, Kuai Yue's face was obviously moved.Then he came down from his seat to the hall, and said to Liu Biao, "My lord, please dispatch two thousand soldiers and horses. Yue hereby swears that my lord will take the Xiangyangwu Fortress, so that I will be humiliated by Jingzhou!"

He knew in his heart that Liu Biao had done his utmost to send troops to rescue Wu County.It is impossible for him to ask Liu Biao to send troops thousands of miles away to retake the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Wu County for his Kuai family.So he only mentions the battle in Xiangyang here.

A wry smile emerged from the corner of Liu Biao's mouth, he shook his head and said, "Alien, we don't have the time and energy to spend any more time in the north with Feng Yu."

After hearing Liu Biao's words, everyone raised their heads and turned their eyes to him.Knowing he's about to make a big decision.Liu Biao continued:

"According to the report, Sun Jian in Changsha in the south and the rebellious Wang Rui who disobeyed the imperial edict have recently shown signs of change, and they are very likely to join forces. If they really work together, then we will be in trouble. A few days ago, I went to Jiangxia to try to persuade Huang Zu's envoys have also been rejected by Huang Zu. They have been left in the air for many days in Jiangxia. So our energy must be directed to these areas."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao stopped talking, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea soup.Cai Hao couldn't bear his temper, took his words and asked:

"My lord, I want to settle for the next best thing. Abandon Xiangyang, break away from contact with Feng Yu, and instead set up a camp at the northern point of Yicheng?"

Liu Biao put down his tea bowl, nodded, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Not only that. I also want to send envoys to Zhuyang to talk about peace with Feng Yu. For the long-term consideration of Jingzhou, we must do this. So Biao here please You gentlemen put aside your personal grievances and consider it from the perspective of me in Jingzhou."

As expected by Liu Biao, Tang Wenwu and Wu began to whisper to each other.But Liu Biao's words have reached this point, and no one, including Kuai Yue, has clearly raised objections.All that remains is the question of who to send as an envoy to Zhuyang...

At the end of summer, the cicadas are still singing on the trees.Feng Yu watched the drill of the spear-throwing and shield soldiers in the barracks under the scorching sun.

The requirement for their training to meet the standard is that they can throw the spear gun 25 shots away with a run-up, and can hit a humanoid target ten shots away.Throwing with a large shield in place requires that the spear can be thrown beyond five battles and hit a humanoid target.

Finally, Feng Yu impromptuly let these spear-throwing shield soldiers have a spear-throwing competition.The winner can even throw the spear thirty shots away while running up, which is close to the shooting distance of the bow and arrow.

At the end of the training, just as Feng Yu was drinking sour plum soup with the soldiers and officers.Feng Yu's personal guard came to report, saying that it was Nanyang prefect, Wancheng Zhang Zi came...

Seeing Zhang Zi, Feng Yu asked with a smile, "But the salt in Wancheng has run out, and the eunuch is anxious to ask someone to fulfill his promise. Please don't panic, eunuch. When the autumn wind blows, a large amount of salt will arrive."

Zhang Zi said with a smile on his face: "Where, where. How can I not trust the prince. I have learned that the prince dominates the three counties in the Middle East of Han Dynasty and Wu County in Yanquan, so there is no reason to worry that the prince will not keep his promise. Today, someone did not come here for this salt."

"Oh, what's the eunuch's purpose here today?" Feng Yu asked slightly puzzled.

Zhang Zi still smiled and said: "I came here this time to be a peacemaker. I want to thread a needle and lead a thread for the reconciliation between Junhou and Liu Shijun of Jingzhou."

Feng Yu's face changed slightly, and he said: "A certain person did not intend to be an enemy of Liu Shijun. It was a forced and helpless act to meet him with swordsmen. Of course, a certain person is willing to make peace, but the discord does not lie with me. It's in Jingzhou."

Zhang Zi hurriedly said: "That is, that is. To tell you the truth, Mr. Liu has made peace with you. He even sent an envoy here."

After finishing speaking, he introduced a Confucian scholar in an ocher robe and scarf behind him to Feng Yu and said: "This is Mr. Zhugexuan, Sima Zhugexuan of the other department under Liu Shijun's tent. The special plenipotentiary representative Liu Jingzhou came to discuss peace with the monarch. "

When Feng Yu heard the word [Zhuge], his heart moved.Then carefully recall the history of the Three Kingdoms, this Zhuge Xuan seems to be a relative of the famous historical figure Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Xuan, who finished the salute, was wondering why the other party's expression changed slightly.Feng Yu had come to his senses, returned a salute to Zhuge Xuan with his normal expression, and exchanged a few words of politeness.

Soon, the two got to the point, you and I talked about the conditions for stopping the army and not fighting.Adhering to Liu Biao's will, Zhuge Xuan tentatively proposed to let Feng Yu return to Wu County, and allowed the Jingzhou Army to build another stronghold near Xiangyang Wubao.These were all rejected by Feng Yu.

In the end, the two agreed on the one on the southwest bank of Mianshui.With Hutou Mountain on the Mian River in the south of Xiangyang as the boundary, Liu Biao occupies the south, Feng Yu occupies the north, and does not invade each other.

But on the Nanyang Plain in the northeast of Mianshui, both families can enter, and the Zhuyang army cannot stop the Jingzhou army from entering the Nanyang Plain on the east bank of Mianshui in Hutou Mountain.It's just that after they entered the Nanyang Plain, they were not allowed to cross the river to the south bank of Mianshui.

Those abandoned cities on the Nanyang Plain naturally belong to whoever occupies them first.But at the moment, neither of these two families has the energy and interest to occupy these abandoned cities and land.

The two reached an agreement, and Zhang Zi also acted as a witness.Finally, Feng Yu held a banquet for Zhang Zi and Zhuge Xuan.During the banquet, Feng Yu intentionally or unintentionally asked about the relatives of Zhuge Xuan's family, and he knew that he had another cousin, Zhuge Gui, who was serving as the magistrate of Taishan County, and this Zhuge Gui was Zhuge Liang's biological father.

Chapter 044

Ancient road, autumn wind, fat horse, fierce dog.

On the ancient road that was almost covered by weeds, several knights galloped across on tall fat horses.

Behind them, in the half-human tall wormwood bushes far away.From time to time, there were faint noises of people and horses.

A bulldog running with their horses did not bark at all.It just stuck out its tongue, wrinkled its wrinkled forehead, and opened its short kiss, revealing its white fangs.His face was extremely ferocious.

At this time, it is the annual autumn hunting season of Zhuyanghou Kingdom.These knights are the cavalry scouts who are probing ahead.And this bulldog is a breed unique to Padang-the Mountain Dog, which was later known as the Eastern Sichuan Hound, which looks similar to a Pit Bull Dog.

Suddenly, the mountain dog that had crossed the ancient road suddenly stopped, turned around, ran back to the middle of the ancient road, and barked wildly in the direction it came from.

The scouts knew about the situation, and Ben's relaxed expression immediately became serious.They quickly reined in their horses and turned their heads to look into the distance.

Under the cover of wormwood, the road could not be seen twenty paces away, but a row of flags and chariots and horses still appeared on the horizon in the distance.

There are also many soldiers guarding the chariot and horses, and they are all cavalry riding tall horses. Of course, their attire is not as sophisticated as that of Zhuyang Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but they are also uniformly dressed and their armor is neat.

"Leave the three people to continue monitoring, and the rest will report to the lord as soon as possible." The leader of the Zhuyang cavalry scout calmly ordered.

……

After a while, the horns of the Zhuyang Army came from afar.The train horses had already noticed the movement here, and everyone in the team's face changed drastically.With a command, the whole team stopped immediately.The cavalry drew their sabers from their waists, and guarded horses stood beside the chariot.

At this moment, the entire meadow trembled slightly.Accompanied by the sound of galloping horses like a tidal wave, five hundred tigers and leopards roared from the two wings, and within a short time blocked the way of the train in all directions.

The knights on the other side looked at the majestic Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with astonishment in their eyes, but no panic was found in them.There were only occasional neighing and horse whistling in their ranks.

These war horses of theirs are also Xiliang horses.It's just that because of the long journey or the lack of horse feed, it looks a lot thinner than the horses ridden by tigers and leopards.

Just when the knights on both sides were standing on horseback and confronting each other with their eyes provoking each other.Accompanied by a thick snort and a high-pitched neighing sound, a huge maroon horse with a shiny coat still appeared in the formation of the two armies.

Immediately the general is imposing and dignified.Under the not-so-strong autumn sun, the purple-gold hair crown on the head is vivid and glowing with a metallic luster.The armor on his body turned out to be chain armor that few people in the Central Plains wear, and there were animal head carvings on the shoulder armor.The hundred-flower war robe made of Shu brocade flutters and shakes in the autumn wind from time to time.

As soon as this man and this horse got out, his aura was overwhelming, and the prestige of the five hundred tiger and leopard riders was suppressed by a lot.He slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is blocking the way?"

The tone was gentle, but the short five words carried endless fighting spirit.In the Zhuyang army, no one took the initiative to answer his question.Even the mountain dog that had been barking changed its barking into a low growl with bared teeth.

But at this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry in front of them dodged a path, and another cavalry galloped to the front of the two armies.The same grandeur, the same sword eyebrows and star eyes, the same momentum.

It was Feng Yu who came. He reined in his horse, stared into the opponent's eyes without flinching, and said in the same calm tone:

"A certain is the Marquis of Zhuyang County, so is Feng Yu, General Fenwei. This area is desolate for hundreds of miles, and bandits often come and go. In order to protect the environment and the people, I had to interrogate the soldiers and horses walking here. If you offend, please I beg for your understanding. Now, I would like to ask your Excellency, who are you waiting for? What has happened since then?"

The corner of the other party's mouth curled into a smile, and he said, "It turns out that you are Feng Yu, Marquis of Zhuyang. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are soldiers and horses under Dong Xiangguo's subordinates. I am the Marquis of Du Ting, and the general of Zhonglang is Lu Bu. It is natural to come here. It is a matter of tolerance by the imperial court. As for what it is, I don't think Zhuyanghou should be interested in knowing it!"

Hearing Lu Bu's name, Feng Yu's heart was filled with turmoil, but there was only a subtle change in his facial expression.But just the slightest change in expression was seen by Lu Bu, and he felt a little proud of his name in his heart.

In terms of status, Feng Yu's county marquis rank is much higher than Lu Bu's Tinghou.Even if General Fenwei is a miscellaneous general, he is still a unique general in the world, still higher than the unnamed General Zhonglang.So the only thing that can change Feng Yu's color is his name of Lu Bu.

Unbeknownst to Lu Bu, Feng Yu was quietly going to check the system panel at this time, checked the package, and made sure that there was no orange delivery card before giving up angrily.

In fact, even if Feng Yu has an orange card, he may not be willing to use it at this time, because the friendship value on Lu Bu's head is a yellow and white 0.It is also unlikely that an orange drop card will increase by 80 points.

Feng Yu immediately responded to Lv Bu and said, "It turned out to be the Marquis of Duting. I didn't expect to meet you here. A certain man is hunting here with his sons, and at the same time checking whether there are any bandits. Since we are destined to meet here. Why don't you go with us, okay?"

At this time, a large group of infantry from the Zhuyang Army also rushed here.They were infantry that accompanied the hunt, and included two trains of baggage.The trucks carry prey such as wild boars, gazelle, deer and roe deer that have not been hunted recently.There even seemed to be several jars of wine in the car.

Lu Bu glanced at Feng Yu's team, and then looked back at his own soldiers who hadn't had a decent meal for a long time.He readily agreed.

After the surrounding Zhuyang army had gathered, a few passwords were given and the horn sounded.The Zhuyang army started to line up, sandwiching Lu Bu army in front and behind, and drove along the ancient road to Wancheng in the northeast direction.People shouted, horses roared, dogs barked, and a road emerged from the wormwood that passed behind them.

When the sun fell to the horizon of Nanyang Plain.The soldiers began to set up camp.The car escorted by Lu Bu also parked in the open space cleared by the soldiers.

At this time, Feng Yu saw an old man getting off the car, and Lu Bu cupped his fists and said to him: "Cai Gong should get in the car and rest. The autumn is cool and cold, and when the camp is set up, Cai Gong and Cai Xiaoniang will go to the camp to rest. .”

The old man said slowly: "General Lu, it's okay. I've been bored in the car all day, and I just want to get down to catch my breath."

Feng Yu's mind turned and he thought [Cai Gong?Miss Cai?Could it be Cai Mao's father and his sister?This is impossible!How could Liu Biao let Lu Bu bring his father-in-law and wife here. 】

Night fell quickly, and piles of bonfires were raised in front of the camp.Those fresh prey were cleaned up by soldiers who were born in butchers, and they were put on the fire or boiled or roasted.
