Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 581 Yuan Shu Who Killed Himself (2)

After all, every time a war breaks out, in addition to the regular army going to fight, there will be many young and strong civilians who will be called up to assist the army.

In this way, the labor force is conscripted away, how can the remaining orphans and widows have the strength to cultivate the land in the local area, and how can they have food income if no one cultivates the fields?

There is no rootless source in the world. If no one grows food, there will be no income from food production.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao later vigorously promoted garrisoning the fields, because if the fields were not garrisoned, the food grown by the common people would not be enough for Cao Cao to use his troops after paying taxes.

At the same time, the gentry forces formed by many big families in the local area are of the type that do not pay much food and taxes, but they occupy a large number of fields and dependent populations. They are simply worms, but they cannot be easily treated.

Therefore, Cao Cao was often short of food in the early stage of the Battle of Chibi, so he had to implement the strategy of garrisoning the fields, letting the soldiers grow food and grass for themselves to meet the needs of the army. It was not until he pacified Yuan Shao in the north and unified the Central Plains that he could rely on stable local politics. To restore people's livelihood, so that Cao Wei had enough background in the late Three Kingdoms period to fight against Soochow and Xishu.

Now, if Zhu Wei is planning to carry out a military strategy in the Central Plains in the future, it may not be easy to obtain supplementary war materials in the Central Plains. It is estimated that all of them will depend on Zhu Wei's own food and material reserves.

Therefore, it is still very necessary for Zhu Wei to increase his food reserves through the Three Kingdoms game system.

Of course, as far as Yuan Shu's situation is concerned, apart from the impact of natural disasters, there is actually a part of the reason that is caused by Yuan Shu's own man-made disasters. After he became emperor, he built the palace in Shouchun, which also required a lot of people's labor. .

As a result, a large amount of labor in Huainan was taken away to build palaces, and there was not much labor in farming, which naturally greatly weakened Yuan Shu's grain production.

Then there happened to be a drought, which caused many fields to be harvestless. Naturally, there was no food income, and Yuan Shu could only consume Yuan Shu's own food reserves.

In this way, no matter how solid the family background is, it can't withstand the consumption of the prodigal family that Yuan Shu made by himself.

When Yuan Shu found out that the situation was wrong and was about to tighten the food bag, he overcorrected and became extremely stingy, and even his own soldiers were not fed enough.

How could such a Yuan Shu not be defeated? He was simply seeking his own death.

Anyway, now that Zhu Wei has learned some information about Yuan Shu's army from Lei Bo and Chen Lan, it can be regarded as dispelling Zhu Wei's doubts about Yuan Shu's army's combat effectiveness.

However, although Zhu Wei easily obtained Hefei County, it can be regarded as opening the door to Shouchun for Zhu Wei's army, but Zhu Wei has no plans to send troops to Shouchun immediately.

Zhu Wei allocated part of his troops to Lu'an country at the first time, preparing to attack the land of Lu'an first, and then contacted the army of Mu Lan, Teng Yuyan, and Zhang Xiu who sent troops from Jiangxia.

In this way, all the troops of Zhu Wei's expedition this time can be connected together, and they can follow Zhu Wei's military orders at any time.

As for Yuan Shu, although his foundation is already rotten, after all, there are still 6 to [-] troops gathered in Shouchun. At the same time, Yuan Shu must have enough food to meet military needs. [-] to [-] people.

In addition, the capital city Shouchun carefully built by Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, it was indeed built into a big city by Yuan Shu.

With the help of the tall and strong Shouchun City and the strength of [-] to [-] troops, Yuan Shu was able to fight in a corner and fight to the death. In the original history, the three armies of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei also fought for more than a month before they were defeated. , it can be seen that the offensive and defensive battle of Shouchun City is not so easy.

Zhu Wei didn't want to be bitten by Yuan Shu before he died, and let himself be bitten out of thin air.

Therefore, Zhu Wei just waited quietly for the arrival of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, waiting for everyone to gather together, and then struck the final blow against Yuan Shu, who was coiled up like a poisonous snake.

Of course, there was not much Yuan Shu to guard Liu'an, so Zhu Wei just sent Huang Zhong with about 1 troops from the Jiangdong camp to attack Liu, Liao, Anfeng, Anfeng, and Yangquan in Liu'an. five counties.

At this time, Zhu Wei also knew through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system that Mulan and Teng Yuyan's Wanyu Qingqi and Zhang Xiu's Liangqi battalion had now entered the territory of Runan County in Yuzhou, almost moving in Xincai and Ruyin.

In fact, Mulan, Teng Yuyan, and Zhang Xiu's cavalry-based army did not encounter much resistance when they entered Lujiang Qichun territory from Jiangxia this time.

This Qichun County is located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains. The terrain in the territory is high in the north and low in the south. The terrain is long and narrow, with many mountains and mountains.

Therefore, Qichun County, Huainan controlled by Yuan Shu, and Lujiang County controlled by Liu Xun are mostly separated by the continuous Dabie Mountains. It can be said that most of the county is still adjacent to Jiangxia, so Yuan Shu and Liu Xun are placed in Qichun County. There are not many troops.

Of course, the local development and population base here are also not much, and they can only be regarded as the fringes of some small counties and small towns.

In this way, Mulan, Teng Yuyan, and Zhang Xiu had a total of at least 2 cavalry troops, and they suddenly attacked along the official roads of Qichun County, that is, they easily captured Qichun County in one day, and then took advantage of the situation. It took no effort at all to go to the other two counties of Zhu County and Xunyang County.

Next, they led the army and searched for the old official road here, and entered the territory of Runan County in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou was originally an important place for the Yellow Turban Uprising. In the early days of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Bocai and Peng Tuo were the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou. They controlled Yingchuan, Runan, and Chen Guo. Tens of thousands of troops became the main force of the Yellow Turbans in the East.

At the beginning, Bo Cai led the Yellow Turban Army all the way west, directly threatening Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, militarily.

Zhu Wei's cheap father, Zhu Jun, was ordered to fight at such a critical period, preparing to resist the threat of the Yellow Turban Army to the capital, but Zhu Jun was also defeated by Bocai's Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, and was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army in Changshe place.

Later, with Huangfusong's rescue, Zhu Juncai took a breath, and then the Han army used the plan of burning the Changsha to defeat Bocai's Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop, thus turning Zhu Jun's Han army from defeat into victory.

But after the main forces of the Yellow Turbans of Bocai and Peng Tuo were wiped out, there were still many remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan and Yingchuan. It is entrenched in the mountains of Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou.

Afterwards, Cao Cao led troops to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans a lot. He Yi, Huang Shao, He Man and others had all been killed. Only Liu Pi and Gong Du seemed to be hiding in Runan County...
