Three Kingdoms Eschatology

The leading general became anxious, and shouted loudly: "Break out to one side with all your strength!" After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards the gun forest that blocked his back.

The Xiliang iron cavalry fought desperately to break out of this death trap in a way of burning jade and stone together.Amidst the wailing of the war horses, one by one riders were stabbed off their horses by a forest of spears, or fell from the casualties of the war horses.

The spear pierced through a human body and a horse's body.Many spearmen were also pushed up by the momentum of the horses, and even pierced their bodies with the rear end of their spears.Some spearmen even dropped their spears to the ground in fright when they saw the galloping horses.

But this kind of impact cannot continue, and the "hill" piled up with horse corpses and human corpses in front is getting higher and wider.Because of its obstruction, the Xiliang iron cavalry in the back could no longer charge Feng Yujun's defense line.

Dense spears flew from behind the spear array.A Xiliang rider who had just fallen from his horse found a gap created by the pikemen's casualties. He was about to charge in with a knife. A short spear pierced his chest in an instant and nailed him to the ground. .

A Xiliang rider was pierced through the right chest by a spear, but the mount led him along the barrel of the gun and rushed to the soldier holding the gun, and cut off half of the opponent's head with a painful blow, before falling down.

But no matter how reckless these Xiliang iron cavalry rampaged, they failed to cross the shield wall behind the gun forest in the end.Some Xiliang cavalry with their horses and men rushed here through the gaps in the gun forest and the sea of ​​corpses by chance, but lost their speed, and were knocked down by short spears thrusting out from behind the shield wall.

These Xiliang troops only have this chance to break through the siege, because the guns behind them are also pressing up, and they have no room to sprint...

Chapter 064 Population surge

The clouds are low and the spring rain falls.Outside Wuyang City, on the wasteland covered by the hazy sky, there were shaking figures.They are braving the drizzle, carefully searching and cleaning up the battlefield.

In the northwest of the city, there was a loud military song.Liao Huaying and spearmen were escorting a large number of Xiliang Army prisoners and horses back to Wuyang.Those carts were also loaded with dead war horses, which could somewhat reduce Wuyang City's food and grass expenses.

Li Jue, who had fled into Zhaoling City, waited and waited for his two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to return.Even many scouts patrolling around the periphery did not see anyone when they regularly reported military information.He knew something was wrong!

Just at this time, the guards came to report that a large Zhuyang army was found in the west of the city, and they were rushing towards Zhaoling.Li Jue snorted: "It's too fast!"

He has no choice now, there are only more than a thousand Xiliang remnants in the city, and he dare not even think about fighting Feng Yu again.Most of the looted grain and grass were concentrated in Linying for transshipment to Luoyang, and there was not much grain and grass left in Zhaoling City.If you stick to Zhaoling and let Feng Yu surround it, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

Li Jue, who originally wanted to stay in Zhaoling for a few days to gather the rout, could only choose to evacuate at this time.He didn't care about anything, after lighting a fire, he hurriedly fled to Linying with the defeated soldiers.

A moment later, Feng Yu led five hundred tiger and leopard riders into Zhaoling City first.After searching the whole city, it was found that some of the remaining food and grass in Zhaoling had been set on fire by Li Jue's army.

The whole city of Zhaoling was almost empty, and there was not a single person on the street.But in several connected courtyards, the Zhuyang army found a large number of people, young women who were kidnapped by Li Jue...

Fortunately, Feng Yu's sudden arrival forced Li Jue to flee in a hurry and forgot about them, otherwise Li Jue would have slaughtered them who couldn't take them away.

……

At the end of February in the first year of Chuping, on the green grassy Nanyang Plain, an endless procession was walking.In the front and back are soldiers of the Zhuyang Army with distinctive armor.In the middle are old and young, men and women, common people, they are all Yingchuan refugees who voluntarily defected to the Zhuyang Hou Kingdom and were willing to be Feng Yu's trilogy.

Feng Yu and several generals and staff under his command chewed dried horse meat, drank mountain springs, and rode their horses among the ranks, talking and laughing.

This includes Xun You, who has just become Feng Yu's staff.For this reason, Feng Yu spent a purple card to surrender.Feng Yu didn't know that even if he didn't spend this surrender card, Xun You still wanted to defect to him and worship him as his lord.

Although the battle of Wuyang was decided in a very short time, the scale of the battle was quite large. Even if the civilians who were coerced were not counted, only the regular troops invested by both sides were counted, there were nearly [-].Such a war with a scale of [-] people is rare in the world after Zhongping.This battle is enough to make Feng Yu famous all over the world.

But this is not the reason why Xun You is willing to become Feng Yu's staff.

At the same time as the Wuyang victory, another Dong Zhuo raiding army, Niu Fubu, was advancing towards Chenliu and northern Yingchuan counties.Zhang Miao and Cao Cao who were stationed in Chenliu and the northern part of Yingchuan took the initiative to retreat to avoid the attack of Niu Fu.As a result, the tribes of the Xun clan in this area were slaughtered.

Therefore, even though many members of the Xun clan were saved in the Battle of Wuyang, the Xun clan's vitality was severely damaged, and it was impossible for them to exist as an independent local force.The disciples of the Xun family knew this well, and now they recalled Xun Yu's persuasion back then, and they knew that Xun Yu's vision was far-reaching.

From now on, the Xun's disciples could only disperse, each looking for new forces to attach to.Most of them naturally took refuge in Yuan Shu nearby.Many went north to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao's forces where Xun Yu was.Others went to vote for the newly emerging Cao Cao forces in Yanzhou.Of course, there are Xun You who followed Feng Yu and some Xun's children.

The consequences of Dong Zhuojun's large-scale looting were indeed what Jia Xu said.External pressure accelerated the integration of power within the pack.

Among them, the person who benefited the most was Yuan Shu who was stationed in Luyang.His foundation, Runan, was not poisoned by Dong Zhuojun because of the great victory in Wuyang.

When Li Jue's remnant soldiers returned to Luyang, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to rob him of the grain and grass that he had transported to Luoyang, and used it to recruit refugees in Luyang, south of Yingchuan, and Runan.Its prestige is even stronger.

At the same time, Yuan Shu also won the attachment of the small and medium clan clan forces in the Chenliu area of ​​Yingchuan, including the Xun family.At present, his sphere of influence extends from the Huai River in the south to the Yellow River in the north, across the three prefectures of Jing, Henan and Yan, with a population of nearly 30.

However, although his "slice" of influence appears to be continuous on the map, it is actually a sparse network due to the sparse population.

And there is a "nail" inserted in it, which is Wuyang City, which is still controlled by Feng Yu.There is also a battalion of system soldiers stationed there and more than 2000 local farming troops, guarded by a son of the Xun family.The reason why Feng Yu didn't give up on this city was very simple, and it was because of the iron mine in Wuyang.

Feng Yu knew in his heart that he might be forced to temporarily give up Wuyang at some point.But since I have already held it in my hand, let's count one more day of mining iron ore as one day, and there is absolutely no reason to voluntarily give up.

……

A few days later, the brigade returned to Zhuyang.The first thing Feng Yu did was to incorporate these [-] refugees into the system population.

The next thing is naturally to build houses to accommodate these new population.Feng Yu organized three new battalions, one of which was a pure cavalry battalion composed of tiger and leopard cavalry, and the other two were comprehensive infantry battalions.For the remaining population, we still need to build basic agricultural facilities to digest them. In addition to various crop fields, two more livestock farms were added to increase the meat supply of the people.

But the problem before us is that the population of Zhuyang has soared to more than [-] people, and the food and grass that could have been used until this year's autumn harvest is expected to be exhausted by July.If you count possible military expeditions in the future, this time will come earlier.

In this regard, Feng Yu naturally thought of his system package, where there were several potato field facility building cards.

Fifteen miles to the west of Zhuyang City, there is a stream rushing out of a deep mountain. It flows through a small valley basin with an area of ​​about six or seven thousand mu.There is only one outlet of the basin, from which the stream flows out and pours into Zhushui.

Feng Yu set up [-] mu of potato fields here, and at the same time designated this area as a restricted area, and ordered the soldiers on patrol to strictly protect it.The entry and exit of people into the system where potatoes are grown must also be closely checked.

The [-]-acre potato field will be harvested in three to four months, and these potatoes are enough for the entire Zhuyang City to last until after the autumn harvest.

This time, Feng Yu brought back not only the [-] refugees, but also more than [-] prisoners of war from the Xiliang Army. It is impossible for them to be taken in by the system right now.

Feng Yu temporarily treated them as prisoners and made them serve hard labor.It is planned to wait for the collapse of Dong Zhuo's power and the disintegration of the Xiliang Army in the future, and then release or accept them as the population of the system.

At present, these prisoners of war are going to pave the way for an unprecedented large-scale project.To the north of Zhuyang, a super big dock was built in the deep mountains fifty miles upstream of Mianshui to accommodate the garrison and dam maintenance personnel.

Danshui, an important tributary of Mianshui, flows into Mianshui here, and soon Mianshui rushes out of Wanda Mountain, and flows southeast along the Nanyang Plain and the eastern foot of Daba Mountain.

This place is Danjiangkou, where Feng Yu intends to build a super hydraulic hub facility.Once it is completed, Feng Yu will control the water network traffic of the Mianshui River system in the entire Qinling-Bashan Mountains, and most of the distance from Zhuyang to Chang'an can even be reached by larger ships.

Of course, roads and cities have to be built before that.This is an objective need.At the same time, road construction is also a system requirement for the construction of large dams in Danjiangkou.Such building facilities must be within a certain range of the system city and have convenient transportation.Otherwise, the system cannot automatically deploy personnel to such facilities.

Feng Yu also has several plank road building cards, which he will use to build several plank roads on the cliffs on the southwest bank of Mianshui, and connect them with the mountain roads across the mountains to form a convenient passage to Danjiangkou.

Building roads is simple, but building a city requires more than a thousand coolies to spend a considerable amount of time to complete.Feng Yu has browsed through the system illustrated book, and there are building facilities such as Wubao and fortress in the illustrated book, but he does not have the building cards of these facilities in his current package.Also the facilities are a bit smaller than needed.

Chapter 065 A certain, Sun Ce, give food

Dong Zhuo's four raids at the beginning of the first year of Chuping finally made the anti-Dong heroes put their slogans into action.

But no one expected that the most active of them was a sheriff who took office far away from the Central Plains.He is Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha.

Nearly [-] miles south of Luoyang City.Sun Jian stood at the head of Changsha City, overlooking the Taotao Xiangshui and the lush Juzizhou in the river.Like a sculpture, motionless.

"Father, do you really want to go north to the Central Plains to fight against Dong Bandit?" A young man beside him broke the silence.But the tone was low and murmured, which showed that he was in awe of his father on weekdays.This young man is Sun Ce.

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Sun Jian suddenly said as if he had made up his mind: "That's right, we're going north to the Central Plains. In a time of great conflict, a man should do so."

Sun Ce continued: "But, but this... Wouldn't our foundation in Changsha be lost?"

Sun Jian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Although the population of the Central Plains is declining, compared with the Central Plains, this remote Changsha County is the difference between a donkey and a horse. The roots here are not the roots for a father. The ambition of a father is to be a hero in the world. , rather than a powerful party in a remote county."

Seeing Sun Ce's doubts, Sun Jian continued, "Give you a Yuzhou shepherd and a Changsha prefect, which one do you choose?"

"Of course it's Yuzhou Mu, but"

"That's exactly the case. After Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu, the later generals, allowed me to go north to the Central Plains to ask for Dong, he presented your father as the shepherd of Yuzhou. But before that, I had to do something that my father didn't want to do..."

After Sun Jian finished speaking, he strode down the city.He was going to prepare for the thing he didn't want to do.Once he has made up his mind to do something, he will do it.

The young Sun Ce opened his mouth behind him, but he still didn't utter a word. What he wanted to say was: [If a Yuzhou shepherd who can't actually control power, or a Yuzhou shepherd who wants to obey others, it may not be as good as the current one. The prefect of Changsha is good. 】

Seven days later, in the Yamen of the Zhongfu in Hanshou City, Wuling County.A man in a big man's official uniform collapsed on the seat, spitting blood, pointing at Sun Jian and said: "...you...you. My people will avenge me..." After finishing speaking, he spit out another mouthful The blood, immediately dies.

Sun Jian on the opposite side pulled out his sword from Wang Rui's corpse, and wiped the sword with a piece of white cloth without leaving a trace of blood.

Sun Jian led his troops to deceive Hanshou City and kill Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, for two reasons.One is that if he wants to go north to the Central Plains, he must pass through Liu Biao's territory.After Liu Biao found out about this, he asked someone to bring him a message—as long as he could kill Wang Rui, not only would he not be prevented from going north, but he would also be provided with supplies and soldiers along the way.The second is that Sun Jian wanted to annex Wang Rui's soldiers and trilogy.

But in the history of the original world, Sun Jian had another reason for killing Wang Rui.Coincidentally, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when "the king and (Si) horses shared the world", occupied the old place of the Eastern Wu, and it was located in the south of the Yangtze River.The Langya Wang family referred to by this "Wang" is Wang Rui's family.Even more coincidentally, the general who destroyed Soochow in the Western Jin Dynasty was also named Wang Rui.

Sun Jian took five thousand soldiers and all his troops, as well as his son Sun Ce and all his family members.Without hesitation, he embarked on the journey to the north.As expected, Liu Biao kept his promise, and the journey was smooth, providing food and grass, and "loaning" him a thousand soldiers. Along the way, clans who admired him came to vote.

When he arrived in Jiangling, he handed over the seal of Jingzhou obtained from Wang Ruina to Liu Biao...

Liu Biao looked at his back as he went away, then looked at the seal in his hand, looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "The sky will not disappoint me, the event is settled!"

When Sun Jian left Yicheng, the northernmost part of Liu Biao's territory, his team had reached nearly 2 people.Nearly [-] of them are combatable soldiers, and the rest are the dependents of the soldiers.

……

"to five",

"to seven",

"Adversary",

"Four-six fried"...

In the bright and beautiful spring, in the courtyard full of flowers, there were bursts of calling cards.Feng Yu, Cai Yan and Li'er are playing poker made by Feng Yu in a pavilion.It took Feng Yu a few hours to teach them how to play.Feng Yu was rarely free today, so he came to have a few games with them.

When the three of them were having fun, a guard came to report: "My lord, there is a man on the other side of the Mianshui River who claims to be the prefect of Changsha, Sun Jian, begging to see the lord. "

Feng Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard this.He was not surprised that Sun Jian appeared in the Nanyang Plain, because last night, he received news from Wubao in Xiangyang, saying that a large number of soldiers and horses entered the Nanyang Plain from the opposite bank of Wubao.After careful investigation by the scouts, they were found to be the troops of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha.

Feng Yu wondered why Sun Jian found him.

Feng Yu had no choice but to spread his arms, and said helplessly to Cai Yan, Li'er: "Madam, I'm really sorry, my husband has some business to deal with, so take your time."

Li'er's face suddenly revealed a lovely and pitiful expression, looking at her own cards, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her lips were slightly raised.Clearly she had a good hand.

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Then husband, go get busy!" After that, he took Li'er's hand and said, "My sister will come and learn how to play the piano with me, okay?" Li'er also smiled and said: "Li'er doesn't want to learn to play the piano. , for fear of breaking my sister’s piano. But Li’er really wants to hear her sister’s piano.”

……

When Feng Yu arrived at the gate of Zhuyang City, the soldiers had followed his instructions to welcome Sun Jian and several of his generals and personal guards across Mianshui, and crossed the Great Wall beside Mianshui to the gate of Zhuyang City.

Just like this, he and Sun Jian collided face to face, staring at each other.Both of them stopped in unison.Their respective personal guards stood neatly behind them.

Sun Jian's first impression of Feng Yu was only two words - Baxiao.There is only one reason for such a person to step on you --- he is stronger than you.There is only one reason for him to convince you - you are stronger than him.

Under Feng Yu's gaze, Sun Jian's dominance gradually dissipated.After a few words of politeness from both parties, Feng Yu said, "I don't know if Sun Taishou is here in the Marquis of Zhuyang, what do you want to discuss? Please come to the mansion to talk about it."

Sun Jian immediately said: "Don't bother the prince, I'll just say something here. I went north to beg Dong's bandits in response to Yuan Benchu's call in Jizhou. When I passed by here, I ran out of food. I asked the prince for [-] hu for grain and grass for military supplies." His words cut to the point and went straight to the point.

Feng Yu smiled, and responded straightforwardly: "It's really not the right time for the prefect to come. A few days ago, after a battle with Dong Thief's army in Wuyang, he took in a large number of refugees who were displaced to Wuyang due to military disasters. There is really no such thing in this city. The surplus grain from the autumn harvest can be used. In this way, I will search the grain storehouse and collect a thousand hu grains for the eunuch as an emergency."

Feng Yu was telling the truth. If he had food, he would not refuse to lend it to Sun Jian. It was not because he was afraid of him, but because he really wanted to help him.But what Sun Jian thinks is unknown.

Sun Jian nodded and said: "Since that's the case, Sun has thanked the Lord for his kindness, so he will leave now." After saying that, he led his followers and strode out.

Chapter 066 Zhang Zi Can't Die

Nanyang Wancheng, inside a theater.Zhang Zi was nibbling an unknown nut and enjoying the pipa performance of the singer in the hall.

Nanyang or Wancheng has been peaceful for a long time.In the past two years, there has been neither locust plagues like Yanzhou and Yuzhou, nor Qingxu.

Although the common people in Wancheng could not be said to live and work in peace and contentment, at least they kept one side safe.His reputation among the people of Wancheng has also accumulated over time.

One city, more than 2 people, peacetime.Naturally, he doesn't have so many official duties to deal with on weekdays, so he finds a few local celebrities and Confucian scholars to talk about the past and the present in his free time.When I can't find anyone, I come to this trick hall to listen to ditties.

Zhang Zi is very satisfied with this kind of life. He doesn't have so many high aspirations, he just wants to continue this "small country with few people" state.

However, after General Yuan Shu stationed in Luyang, Nanyang County, the situation changed a bit.All kinds of words and deeds inside and outside Yuan Shu's words made Zhang Zi understand that the other party was threatening him with a hint.

Zhang Zi didn't want to hand over this Wancheng, which had been in operation for several years, to others for nothing.But if he is really an enemy of Yuan Shu, he has no confidence that he can keep Wancheng.He could only pretend not to understand what Yuan Shu meant, and at the same time he secretly sent someone to contact Yuan Shao in the north, hoping that Yuan Shao could intercede for him and let Yuan Shu dispel this idea.

At this time, the singer in the hall finished playing a song, and bursts of applause came from the surrounding guest seats.A soldier of Zhang Zi's personal guard also came to Zhang Zi and whispered something to him.Zhang Zi's complexion changed, he left some money on the case table, and hurried out of the trick shop amidst the sound of sending them off.

Sun Jian led tens of thousands of horses into Nanyang County and stationed beside the ruins of Xinye City, a hundred miles south of Wancheng.His messenger has now arrived in Wancheng.

Zhang Zi opened the letter paper and saw that there were only a few words on it, which only expressed one meaning - "borrow food".And the amount is not small, as long as [-] Dendrobium.

However, this letter was written as a request, and the language was still very polite.And besides this letter, Sun Jian also brought him a meeting gift such as a brocade of cattle and wine.Except for the "[-] Dendrobium Grain" that made Zhang Zi feel pained, he didn't notice the slightest hostility in it.

Zhang Zi entertained the messenger and decided to give Sun Jian [-] hu of grain.Zhang Zi believed that he and Sun Jian did not have any friendship or relationship, and did not join in the excitement of the Anti-Dong League.Under such circumstances, giving Sun Jian [-] hu of grain for nothing to help him "crusade against the bandits Dong" is the most benevolent and righteous.

Sun Jian's messenger also seemed to appreciate this.After thanking Zhang Zi repeatedly, he took Zhang Zi's reply and returned to the camp to report to Sun Jian...

……

Huang Gai was striding along the streets of Zhuyang, and he kept looking at every corner of the city with curious eyes.The lord Sun Jian specially asked him, a military general, to come to Zhuyang as a messenger this time, for his own purpose.Before leaving, he was specifically instructed to investigate every aspect of the city as much as possible.

Under the guidance of Zhuyang soldiers, Huang Gai soon came to Feng Yu's mansion.Ordinary messengers, Feng Yu will not receive them casually, and it will be over if the letter is delivered by the soldiers.But after Feng Yu knew the name of Sun Jian's messenger, he made an exception and summoned Huang Gai.

When Huang Gai saw this Fenwei general who had just become famous in the world not long ago, he felt that the young man's aura was compelling, and this aura was different from his lord.

Huang Gai presented a note with both hands, and said: "The general has seen Junhou. My lord has ordered me to present the invitation to Junhou." He deliberately kept his tone calm and steady, but for some reason, when he spoke Still in a hurry.

Feng Yu unfolded the invitation and read it silently.It turned out that Sun Jian invited him to a dinner today to discuss Dong Daji.

Perhaps it was to reassure the participants that the meeting place was not at Sun Jian's Xinye camp, but next to the abandoned city of Rangcheng.And bluntly stated that in order to avoid the scruples of all parties, all parties brought up to two hundred guards to the meeting.

"Aside from XX, who else will attend the meeting?" Feng Yu asked, looking up at Huang Gai.In his line of sight, there was a -15 friendship value floating above Huang Gai's head.

Huang Gai replied truthfully: "I'll tell you the truth, since it's a gathering of anti-Dong heroes, all the heroes in Nanyang will be invited. Besides you, the prefect of Nanyang in Wancheng, Zhang Zi, will also come. "

Feng Yu lowered his eyelids and said, "Well, please go back and tell your lord, General Huang, that someone will come to the appointment as scheduled." When he finished speaking, Xun You next to him had a look of worry on his face.

After Huang Gai thanked Feng Yu and resigned, Xun You immediately said to Feng Yu: "Master, don't you know who Sun Jian is? Wang Rui can be regarded as half of his allies, but he cheated and killed Wang Rui in Hanshou not long ago. This is likely to be a Hongmen banquet! My lord must never go..."
