The Three Kingdoms

"Commander Sha!" Zhao Yun looked at Sha Ye with some doubts: "Shouchun City is surrounded by water and not by mountains, and you have no landing height. For you, the Tianpeng Army may not be able to do anything!"

"Commander Zhao, the Tianpeng Army is an air force, we don't have to rely on high mountains to fly!" Sha Ye smiled slightly: "We have the ability to land, so naturally we have the ability to fly up!"

"Commander Sha, we don't know Tianpeng Army very well, so please tell me in detail!" Pan Feng said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Sha Ye nodded, then stood up, facing the generals, and said in detail: "Our Tianpeng Army cooperated with the Ministry of Industry, and based on the vacant weapons that His Majesty failed to manufacture back then, we have successfully researched the flying balloon. Your Majesty This flying balloon has become a hot air balloon, and it can take off on flat ground. Although we are still in the trial stage, we are not very accurate in the direction of flying, but we have a certain combat power in surprise, we can try it and break into the city!"

"Is there such a magical weapon?"

All the generals were shocked, and they looked at each other.

"Commander Sha, how sure are you that you will succeed?"

"Eighty percent!" Sha Ye said.

"it is good!"

Pan Feng took the case and made a decision: "I will leave this battle to you. If you can break through Shouchun City, this commander will personally be the Tianpeng Army's first victory in the Northern Expedition!"

"Yes!" Sha Ye's eyes brightened.

"Go and prepare immediately. With the fastest speed, all the main forces will move northward, break through Jiujiang, reach Runan, and enter Yuzhou!" Pan Feng's eyes were sharp and unstoppable, and a powerful aura rose from the sky.

"promise!"

All the generals stood up, led the iǎn to take orders, and began to file out, preparing for the iǎn general to go north one after another.

Nanyang County.

Thorny River.

The main force of Wu Jun's Flying Tiger Legion has all been pressed on the first front of Jishui, looking north, aiming at Wei Jun's camp, looking from a distance.

"Does Zhang Xiu want to defend by the water?" Standing on the high ground on the south bank of Jishui, Lu Bu held the binoculars in his hand and stared at the defense line on the north bank.

"Commander, in Nanyang today, only Jishui can stop us from going north!"

Chief of Staff Shi Tao said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu has no other choice but to stick to the Jishui. He should be waiting for Xiahou Dun's reinforcements!"

"Hehe!" Lu Bu put down the binoculars, sneered a few times, and said, "He probably won't be able to wait, Xiahou Dun judged the situation, and the first thing he should do is to reinforce Jiujiang. In his opinion, Nanyang has the ability to block us, but Jiujiang is very dangerous! "

"With Zhang Xiu's strength, if he is willing to work hard, he may not be able to stop us!" Shi Tao said.

"Then try his determination!"

"The commander wants it?" Shi Tao's eyes moved, a little puzzled.

"I don't believe that Zhang Xiu will fight to the death for Cao Wei. I am going to cross the river, but you should send someone to test him first!"

"Say surrender?"

Shi Tao thought for a while, and said: "This should not be of much use, even if he is unwilling to fight to the death for Cao Wei, he will not surrender to us at this time, unless we destroy the entire Cao Wei, kill Cao Mengde, and leave him without any hope. , he may surrender!"

"It doesn't matter whether he is willing to surrender, I just want to confirm his determination!"

Lu Bu said: "By the way, let's drive a wedge between him and Cao Wei, which will help us go north!"

"I understand!"

Shi Tao's eyes sparkled, he cupped his hands and said, "I will send someone who wants to surrender, talk to him well!" To be continued.

ps: I don’t know what’s going on this month. I don’t seem to be in the state of coding. I want to code well, but I can’t code well. It feels weird, just like last night , I was sitting in front of the computer, planning to fight at night with the lights on. As a result... I fought the TV series all night. As for the code words... it's a tragedy, I can't code a single word!

[Chapter 25 of the main text: Battle of Kanto III]

Luoyang City.

As the battles between the North and the South continued to ignite, the atmosphere in the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty suddenly became tense.

After the war between Jiujiang and Nanyang started, even the You Xiaowei and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who guarded the capital of Luoyang were also mobilized to the south. The large-scale mobilization of soldiers and horses made the people feel a little panicked.

This atmosphere of war and oppression is constantly fermenting in the hearts of every Wei person.

That's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the mobilization of logistics food and grass. Today's Cao Wei Chaotang simply cannot afford such a huge amount of logistics food and grass, so Cao Cao forcibly recruited a large amount of food and grass from various aristocratic families.

Soldiers are fighting bloody battles ahead, fighting for combat effectiveness.

But between Cao Wei and Dong Wu, it was their national power that was fighting against each other. If the soldiers on the front line couldn't even eat enough to eat and their weapons and equipment were in a mess, then there was no need to fight this battle at all.

For this reason, Cao Cao spared no expense.

Cao Wei's national conditions are not as good as Soochow. Soochow has been under strong suppression for ten years, and the centralization of power has been very stable. In Soochow's territory, whether it is an inherited family or a local tycoon, they have actually been beaten to death.

Most of the land and population are concentrated in the hands of the imperial court.

On this point, it is enough to make Soochow's national power surpass Cao Wei.

However, in the territory of Cao Wei, the inheritance of the aristocratic family is unfathomable, and the powerful families in various places still control a large amount of land and population.

Although Cao Cao tried his best to have farming strategies in various places during these years in power, under the strong influence of the aristocratic family, except for the farming in the land of Yuyan, the scale of other farming is not large.

For example, in Guanzhong, the land in Guanzhong is fertile, and there was a saying in ancient times that sitting in Guanzhong can overlook the world, but the taxes collected in Guanzhong are not much, and most of the population and land are controlled by powerful families in Guanzhong.

It is still the powerful families from all over the country who control the food.However, it is the inheritance families one by one that affect the court.

Now that the army of Soochow is desperately going up the Northern Expedition, Cao Cao can only face it. All the logistics of the Cao Wei court are now on the northern line, so the southern line naturally has insufficient logistics.

Cao Cao had no other choice, he could only attack these aristocratic families, for him.Sooner or later, you have to do it, so it's better to do it directly this time.Come hard once.

All of a sudden, on the territory of Cao Wei, there was turmoil, and the aristocratic and powerful families were in a panic.

"What, the court actually issued a letter, asking us to hand over [-]% of the grain in stock. Your Majesty is too cruel!"

"Isn't this compulsory? It's not allowed by the law!"

"Now His Majesty and Soochow are completely jealous. If anyone dares to hold back at this time, I'm afraid he will start a massacre. We should obediently hand over the food!"

"I don't pay, why!"

For the forced recruitment of the court, the various families gritted their teeth but had no choice but to hand over their own food.

Of course, it's not that there are no families who are obedient and vicious, but the ghost soldiers mobilized a large number of forces to create several major cases of collusion with the enemy and ransacking their homes in Luoyang City.Soon these people became much more submissive.
