PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Heroes of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440
The Yuan Tan calendar year 209 AD was a year of rapid development under Yuan Tan's rule.

The bumper harvest of watermelons lifted all the impoverished households under Yuan Tan's rule out of poverty.

Poor households earn money, businessmen also earn money, and Yuan Tan also collects taxes, which is more than a win-win situation.

So many poor households have been lifted out of poverty together, which comes from the super innovative industry.

A project that has never been done before, a money-making machine.

Later, there is a record: Hu merchants got watermelons, and they were shocked. They drove three hundred miles a day, just to bring them back and sell them to the nobles to taste.

Watermelons became popular all over the Silk Road.

There is also a record: After Jiangnan merchants brought watermelon, the Jiangnan family members took watermelon as their daily routine and were proud of eating melon.

In the future, Yuan Tan will continue to introduce other unique fruits and vegetables.

Eggplants and tomatoes are must-buy vegetables in later generations, and once launched, they swept the world.

Yuan Tan also proposed greenhouse vegetables, off-season vegetables.

With the continuous improvement of the economic level under Yuan Tan's rule, the country is rich and the people are strong, the combat effectiveness of the army is beyond the charts, and the logistics reserves are perfect.

Therefore, the Southern Expedition has become an urgent goal for civil and military people.

"My lord, let's march south!"

Following Xun You's proposal, all civil and military personnel stood up and said in unison, "My lord, let's march south!"

Civil and military people's eyes are shining with the desire to dominate the world.

Yuan Tan now wants people, people, money, and food.

There are military advisers such as Xun You, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Chen Gong.

There are generals like Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He.

If we don’t go south at this time, when will we go south?
Thus, Yuan Tan's southern expedition plan was launched.

He did not choose Soochow as a breakthrough, but chose to attack Liu Bei in Jingzhou.

After all, Jiangdong has existed for a long time and is extremely stable, while Liu Bei has just acquired Jingzhou.

Moreover, if Jingzhou is captured, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River will be controlled, and the Soochow in the lower reaches will be suppressed, and the water war between the Yangtze River and Soochow will be avoided.

It is absolutely possible to go straight to Huanglong by land.

After all, Soochow's water battle is unparalleled in the world, and Yuan Tan has to admit this reality.

…………

In the spring of 210 AD, Yuan Tan led the eight states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili.In the west, Hangu Pass shocked Cao Cao, and in the southeast, Hefei suppressed Sun Ce.

Sworn with an army of 50, known as an army of one million to attack Jingzhou.

Before the news had time to spread to the world, the army had already arrived at the city of Xinye County.

In the season of early summer, the world was shaken.

Xiangyang, Liu Bei's base camp.

In the meeting hall, civil and military are divided into two sides.

Here Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Wenpin are famous generals.

There are famous officials such as Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei's camp's civil and military skills are also at the top level.

It's just that the atmosphere is very dignified now.

You must know that Yuan Tan's army of one million is not arrogant.

If a million lions cross the river, it will be fatal.

"We must not let Yuan Tan cross the river!" Liu Bei's expression was suppressed to the extreme.

After everyone heard this, it meant that Liu Bei would fight Yuan Tan to the death in Xinye, but is this really good?

They went to see Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan. He didn't expect Yuan Tan to march south so soon.According to his expectations, Yuan Tan would have to accumulate at least three years before he could go all out for the Southern Expedition.

At this time, the attendant brought a plate of watermelon and tomatoes, and the fragrance and coolness made people feel much calmer.

But Zhuge Liang accelerated the speed of shaking the feather fan. It was the watermelons and tomatoes in front of him that allowed Yuan Tan to amass the wealth of the world, and accumulated enough power in a short period of time.

"How did he find watermelons and tomatoes? Why can't I find them?" Zhuge Liang was very depressed.

Liu Bei spoke, "Military commander, don't study these things anymore, Yuan Tan is coming soon, how will we fight this battle?"

Everyone was not in the mood to eat watermelon, and focused on Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang stood up and said, "My lord, Xinye is a small city and cannot defend against Yuan Tan. It is better to give up Xinye and defend Xiangyang with all our strength..."

Liu Bei murmured, "If I retreat to the south of the Yangtze River without fighting, wouldn't it increase Yuan Tan's arrogance? I will be ridiculed by the world again! If I am so timid, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend Xiangyang."

I have to say that what Liu Bei said makes sense. After all, this retreat, one ebbs and another, and the morale of the army is low, so how can we defend?

Zhuge Liang's expression was also very solemn, and he said: "We definitely can't give up Xinye City to Yuan Tan for nothing, although we have given up Xinye City, we still want Yuan Tan to be defeated in Xinye, and we will not leave him a single population. "

"Oh? Did the military adviser have a plan?" Liu Bei asked hastily.

Zhuge nodded.

Later, Liu Bei formulated a plan to retreat to Xinye strategically, and all the people would also move out.After all, in Zhuge Liang's plan, the battle with Yuan Tan was a protracted one.

However, Liu Bei only has one state and a limited population. Therefore, Xinye's 10 population is also a strategic material and must not be left to Yuan Tan.

a day later.

Xinye City.

Many staff members of Liu Beijun appeared in the corners of the streets and alleys.

"The national thief is coming, and the soul is about to die..."

"Uncle Huang pointed out the direction for everyone, and will resettle everyone in Xiangyang."

"Everyone hurry back and get ready to leave the city in the afternoon."

After hearing these words, the common people were indifferent, after all, no one wanted to leave their hometown.Moreover, wherever Yuan Jun went, it seemed that no one had ever been killed.

"Yuan Jun has iron-like discipline, and he doesn't take anything from the common people." Someone shouted.

So the people scattered in a rush, not listening to Liu Beijun's words at all.

"Damn it!" The staff was furious, "Anyone who doesn't obey orders is collaborating with the enemy!"

So in the afternoon, Liu Beijun began to clear the field, and the cries of the people resounded throughout the world.

Standing on the top of the city wall, Liu Bei looked at the people who were crying and left, and wiped away his tears, "Since ancient times, the people have been in disorder, and I wish to see the people living happily..."

Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others looked at Liu Bei with admiration, and Liu Bei's personality charm deeply attracted them.

The lord is so benevolent, but he suffers from the tyranny of the national thieves. We must rise up and help the lord rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

Although we are weak, we are strong-willed and united.

Jiang Wan and the others clenched their fists and worked hard secretly.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "My lord, the people have already left the city, let's start the arrangement."

"Okay..." Liu Bei wiped away his tears, touched the rough battlements, and strode away.

…………

Two days later.

Yuan Tan's army had arrived fifty miles away from Xinye City and set up camp.

In the central army tent, Yuan Tan is discussing with the military advisers about attacking Xinye.

At this time Wang Zhao came in, "My lord, Xinye City has been emptied. Hundreds of thousands of Xinye people are on their way to the Han River. Xinye has become a complete military city, heavily guarded, and intelligence inside the city will be interrupted."

Yuan Tan looked at the military advisers.You must know that Xinye is definitely not the focus of their southern expedition, but if they want to cross the river safely to Xiangyang, they need to capture Xinye City.

Therefore, Xinye City has also become a place that must be taken, and it is still the goal of the first battle.

Now it seems that Liu Bei does not intend to fight in the field.

Xun You said: "My lord, there are not many enemy troops in Xinye, just attack directly."

Jia Xu and the others agree very much.

It stands to reason that Yuan Tan, as the attacker, must have troops at the gate of the city, and he also has an advantage in military strength.

But Yuan Tan is traveling through the crowd, he doesn't think so, Zhuge Liang is very cunning, does he want to set fire to Xinye?
After all, it seems that Liu Bei is the same as in history, this is to take the people across the river.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't laid a trap in Xinye, of course he would attack immediately.But if a trap is laid, it is necessary to think about it in the long run.

However, the information in Xinye City was interrupted, and it was not known what the enemy was doing inside.

Yuan Tan said, "Immediately send more scouts to Xinye, and we will discuss after we get the information again."

However, at night, [-]% of the scouts returned, and all the others were killed, and those who came back did not bring any useful news.

It seems that Zhuge Liang is very strict about his activities in Xinye.

night.

Yuan Tan couldn't sleep in bed, so he started to flip his own system.

He has many abilities and items, and he hopes to find a way to defeat the enemy and win.

Later, Yuan Tan saw the 'annual ring bread'.

Annual ring bread: eating it can reach any age group, and the effect lasts for five hours.

Yuan Tan didn't know how to use this magical item at first, but now he had an idea in his mind.

　I caught a cold, so I had to change it....
