Three Kingdoms Eschatology

"You...deceitful, deceitful calculation...accounting for XX, Fang Zhi...XX has this defeat. If you really have...capability, would you dare to fight XX with real swords and guns?"

Feng Yu sneered and said: "You have led the army for so many years. Haven't you heard of the words "soldiers never tire of cheating?" Don't make excuses, you are not the general's opponent. You want to single out the general, but the general really dare not, I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, you will be killed by a knife or a gun. As for whether what a certain person said is true, you should know in your heart."

After Feng Yu finished speaking, he unlocked the leg lock just now.Only then did Xu Rong get up from the ground, panting heavily.He thought Feng Yu would order someone to tie it up again, but Feng Yu didn't do so.But he already understood that he was definitely not Feng Yu's opponent, and it was impossible to do such a meaningless move again.

Feng Yu suddenly said something nonsensical, and he said to Xu Rong: "Did you once recommend a man named Gongsun Du from the Gongsun family of Youzhou family as the governor of Liaodong?"

After Xu Rong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately remembered that there was indeed such a thing.When Dong Zhuo first entered Beijing, he "divided up" the world in order to win people's hearts.At that time, Xu Rong recommended Gongsundu, a good friend from his hometown, to Dong Zhuo as the governor of Liaodong, and Dong Zhuo readily agreed.

In fact, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the world was already falling apart.The "Liaodong Taishou" he gave was just a title.Whether Gongsundu can actually rule Liaodong and stabilize Liaodong depends on Gongsundu's own strength and ability.

So for Xu Rong, this is also a favor.If Feng Yu didn't mention this, Xu Rong would have almost forgotten about it.

"What happened to Gongsun Du? What's the matter with you?" Xu Rong asked in surprise.

Feng Yu said with a chuckle: "Gongsun Du is now flourishing in Liaodong. He has subdued all the rich and powerful families in Liaodong, wiped out many cities and fortresses, and separated himself from one side. He is like the king of Liaodong. Of course, these are not my business, but It's about Dong Zhuo and you!"

The expression on Xu Rong's face became even more confused.Feng Yu continued: "Recently, Yuan Shao of Jizhou spread his message to the world, calling on all the heroes to attack Dong Bandit. Have you heard?"

Xu Rong shook his head blankly.Although the news spread to the capital the day before Feng Yu entered the city, Xu Rong, who was executing military orders outside the city at that time, did not know about it.Not long after Xu Rong returned to Luoyang.As soon as I received the news that Feng Yu had broken out of the city, I immediately chased him out. Naturally, I couldn't have time to know about it.

Feng Yu pretended to be surprised and said: "It's strange. As General Dong Zhuo, how could you not know about such a big event?" Then he continued: "The problem now is that your friend from the same town, Gongsun Du, also received Yuan Shao's letter and publicly opposed Dong. !"

Xu Rong's expression turned gloomy, and then he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Hey! So what... This Gongsun Du has nothing to do with someone. He is a fellow villager but not a friend. Back then, he gave me two boxes Jinyin, I want someone to help him say a few words to Dong Xiangguo. This...it has nothing to do with me!"

Feng Yu was not talking at this time, lying on the blanket with pillows, crossed his legs, and looked at the night sky.Leave Xu Rong aside.Xu Rong was very bored, so he slipped to the other side of the bonfire, ate and drank alone, bowed his head and thought while eating.

The scout guard came to Feng Yu's side and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to tie this guy up later?" Feng Yu replied: "No, but keep him close, don't let him go." Get close to the horses and let me know if there is any movement..."

Five days later, the brigade finally returned to Zhuyang safely.The first thing they do when they return to Zhuyang is to bury the ashes of the soldiers who died in battle. The cemetery is on a sunny hill to the south of Zhuyang, and there is already a neat small square array of tombstones here.

The way other forces deal with the dead is generally: dig a hole on the spot and fill it up, and it will be safe in the ground.The almost thing is to let him expose his corpse to the wilderness.As for pensions, don't even think about it, it would be nice to be able to bring the news and relics of the dead to their families.

But here at Feng Yu, he tried his best to bring the body back.If there is no condition, bring back the ashes.The relics are handed over to the family members, and there is a pension compensation in the form of meritorious service.

Xu Rong was also brought into Zhuyang City. He was still under surveillance. He knew he couldn't escape, and he didn't seem to want to escape.Every day he would go to the barracks to watch the soldiers practice.Sometimes, Dian Qing, Wei Feng and others would joke with him.

When Feng Yu saw him, his friendliness was -10.Feng Yu cast two surrender blue cards in a row, increasing the total by 100 points, successfully accepting them as his generals.

In a few days, Cai Yan and Wei Lier became as close as sisters.In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Yonghan, when Feng Yu and Cai Yan got married, they received a letter from Yuan Shao's envoy to discuss Dong Dong.

Chapter 058

The north wind rolled up flakes of snow.The streets of Luoyang City were covered with snow feet deep, and there were almost no pedestrians, only corpses frozen to death on the side of the road could be seen from time to time.

In the lobby of the Xiangguo Mansion, it was as warm as spring, with more than a dozen charcoal basins burning fiercely.The temperature was so high that everyone present felt anxious, and beads of sweat appeared on their flushed faces.Sitting on the couch at the head of the hall, Dong Zhuo simply put on a summer dress.

These days, bad news kept coming and Dong Zhuo was in a bad mood.The first is the news that Xu Rong, who was chasing Feng Yu, was defeated in the bamboo forest in front of Dagu Pass and disappeared.Then all the heroes in the world responded to Yuan Shao's appeal, declaring against Dong, and even threatened to form an alliance to attack Luoyang in the spring of the coming year.

But these are not the worst news. What makes Dong Zhuo most anxious at the moment is that the granary in Luoyang City is about to run out of food again.

Today, the food and salaries allocated to official households have been reduced to a minimum, and those government servants who work in Luoyang City are usually pale and emaciated.At the same time, the government-run grain stores were closed, and grain prices were no longer sold to private households. The price of grain on the black market has risen to the point where it is difficult to buy even at this price.

Even so, the grain and grass in the grain depot are only enough to last for three or four months.If you can't get extra food, you don't need to ask Dong Zhuo's coalition army to attack. By the early summer of next year, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army will be destroyed without attack.

After Li Ru finished talking about the current situation facing the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuofang said loudly:

"Just now, Wen You talked about the situation in the city. In the eyes of this old man, the thieves in the Kanto region are nothing to be afraid of. Only the food and grass is a problem. Everyone expresses their opinions and talks about how to solve our food and grass problem. Go ahead. If someone can come up with a good and feasible solution, the old man will reward you heavily, and you can even be granted the title of duke!"

Everyone in the hall whispered to each other, but no one stood up to offer Dong Zhuo a plan.Dong Zhuo glanced anxiously over familiar faces, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Lu Bu, Jia Xu... and finally stopped on Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, you have a lot of ideas and good ideas on weekdays. Tell me, what should I do now?"

Jia Xu did have an idea at the moment to solve Luoyang's food shortage, but it was hard to say it.He who had lowered his eyes and said nothing, could no longer keep silent when he heard what Dong Zhuo said.He cupped his hands and saluted Dong Zhuo first, and then said:

"To Xiangguo, it's not that we don't have food and grass now, but we are not in Luoyang. As long as the food and grass are brought in, it will be enough to solve the problem of food and grass in Luoyang." Jia Xu's words stop here, so I won't go on.

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard what he said, he understood what Jia Xu meant.The grain and grass that Jia Xu talked about was being hoarded in Mei County.

Some time ago, Dong Zhuo planned to build a super-large dock in Mei County for the elderly, and asked the counties and counties in the Sili area under his control to levy labor and labor to send money and food to Mei County.At this time, if the grain and grass materials hoarded in the entire Mei County are transported to Luoyang, it should be enough to survive until the autumn harvest.

Dong Zhuo's face sank immediately, and he didn't ask Jia Xu any further questions.He obviously didn't want to use the money to save Luoyang.He had an abacus in his heart that he could not tell his subordinates and staff.

At the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, he still had the ambition of being a hero.But when he really entered Luoyang and took control of the court, he realized that governing the world and his commanding the three armies were completely different things.

Although he tried his best to woo left and right, threatened and lured him, and exhausted all kinds of means, the world still fell into such a situation.Even the nominal authority of the court could not be maintained, which made him wonder if his goal was set wrong or too high.

So he planned that if he could not dominate the world, he would retreat to the west of Tongguan, retreat and rule one side, and enjoy the rest of his life in peace.This is also his main motivation for building Meiwu.

Li Ru saw all the changes in Dong Zhuo's expression, and quickly diverted the conversation: "Xiangguo, this subordinate thinks that we still have to adopt the old method and send troops to stop."

Niu Fu, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes and said, "If you can go to the valley now, Xiangguo won't have to hold this meeting. In the Sili area, we have scraped all the places we can grab. .Do you want to rob yourself and go to the place where we directly garrison? What about next year's autumn harvest?"

Li Ru continued: "The only way to go is Gu. Hanoi, Hedong, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou can all go."

Jia Xu, who had been silent for a long time, said again at this time: "It is not a good strategy. Although the princes of the Guandong are threatening to rebel, their foundation is not solid, and in fact they have different ideas. The so-called attacking Luoyang can only be said. Now , we take the initiative to plunder the rich and wealthy households in these states and counties, which can only accelerate the internal power integration of the various forces and allow them to truly unite..."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Wenhe, you don't have to think about it so much. You don't want to treat us as a court, but as princes along the way. Do we need to think about other people first? We must first ensure that we I have food to eat. So what if they unite? Don’t say that the old man doesn’t take these rats seriously. Take a step back and say, if they invade Luoyang, we will leave Luoyang’s mess to them, and it will be better than us starving to death strong."

Then he made a final decision, and said to the generals: "In the past, when the old man sent you out to the valley, you had to worry about this and that, and you also had to consider the thoughts of the aristocratic family and the status and dignity of the court. We can't rob what can't be burned. From today on, we don't have to worry about these anymore, we can rob if we want, and burn if we want. As long as we get food for the old man, it will be..."

After the new year, the Han court in Luoyang announced that the year name would be changed to Yuan Chuping.By the end of the first month of the first lunar month, the clamorous anti-Dong heroes still had no real action.Instead, Dong Zhuo began to send troops to loot everywhere.This looting spread to a wide range of states and counties, and the use of so many troops is really rare.

At this time, Feng Yu was actively preparing for the battle in Zhuyang with peace of mind.In Zhuyang City, a small dam appeared on a small tributary of Zhushui. This dam is not an independent building, but a supporting facility for the ring piece armor production workshop.

There are several sets of simple and primitive water-driven stamping machines in the workshop.These punching machines are not very precise, and the power is not enough, so they can't punch out fine plate armor like Gothic armor and Milan armor.However, it is more than enough to produce ring armor in batches.

If the ring armor is handmade, the labor cost must be much higher than that of leather and wooden armor.However, with the help of the hydraulic stamping machine, the labor cost has been reduced to much lower than the latter.Not to mention the iron armor, which needs to be hammered, cut and polished for each piece of armor.

The ring piece armor was continuously produced from the workshop, except for scouts and archers, it replaced the leather and wood armor of other ordinary infantry units.But this also led to an extremely fast consumption of iron materials, and soon the iron ingots in the warehouse in Zhuyang City ran out.

Chapter 059

In early spring, although the sun is shining, it is still cold.Feng Yu did not enjoy the spring sunshine with Cai Yanlier in the courtyard of his mansion.Instead, when they came to Zhuyang City, a cold wind blew.

Feng Yu strolled around the city, looking at the scenery and people outside the city.In my heart, I was thinking about the situation in the world.Today, although it seems that the historical trend is not much different from the original world.But Feng Yu knew in his heart that the histories of the two worlds would not be roughly the same, it was just that the final winners were different, because he was there.

Feng Yu's goals and ambitions are not as simple as "sweeping the princes, the power is in hand, and I have the world".Isn't this kind of ambition or goal too shallow and homogeneous for a person who has experienced two lifetimes and has a powerful system.

When they reached the southern city wall, there were bursts of strange roars from below the city.Beside the pier in Zhushui, several large wooden cages covered with sackcloth were being unloaded from the ship.Feng Yu knew that it was the Wushan ape-man transported from Fangling.

Feng Yu has set up a special hunting team in Fangling since he returned to Zhuyang from the last western expedition. The members are all skilled hunters recruited heavily in the mountainous area of ​​Fangling Shangyong.There are Han people and there are also banyan barbarians.

Hunting teams regularly enter the Austrian area to hunt these ape-men quantitatively.In this way, the number of these ape-man populations can be guaranteed to be within a sufficient number for their normal reproduction, and the supply of soldiers in the great ape training camp can also be guaranteed.

However, this is a very risky hunting activity, and more than [-] hunters were killed three times.Although these hunters are not the population of the system, they still make Feng Yu feel distressed.Therefore, Feng Yu decided to stop such dangerous actions after capturing a certain number of ape-men enough to reproduce themselves.

When Feng Yu turned a corner at the corner of the city and came to the east wall, a ferry boat in the Mian River had already arrived.Jump off a group of people, etc., and unload a lot of supplies.

Feng Yu knew that this group of people was the people he sent to Wuyang to get the iron ingots for this month, but there was one more person among these people at this time.Moreover, Feng Yu was a little familiar with him, and when he looked closely, it was Xun Yu's nephew---Xun You.Feng Yu hurriedly stepped down the city wall and went to greet him in person.

"Gongda, what kind of wind brought you here today?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.

When Xun You saw Feng Yu came to greet him in person, he forced a smile on his face, but he still couldn't hide the sadness in his heart. "Xun You has met the Lord. How can You Hede have the Lord to come out of the city to meet him in person?"

Feng Yu continued to laugh and said: "Gongda, don't be polite to me. I know that your visit this time must be related to the looting of Dong Zhaijun. You don't have to worry about it. I have already prepared for this. We will enter Let’s talk about it in detail.”

Hearing what he said, Xun You immediately felt a lot easier.

In the mansion, Feng Yu didn't know until after listening to Xun You's statement.Three days ago, Li Jue and Li Meng of Dong Zhuo's army led [-] Xiliang cavalry and [-] infantry to the south, passed through Luyang, and entered Yingchuan, Yuzhou.

They broke through Linying City in one day and killed Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan.Xun You also expected that after they had plundered all around Linying, they would continue marching towards Wuyang in the southwest.Because there are relatively strong Chenliu Zhang Miao and Yanzhou Cao Cao stationed in the north.

After hearing Xun You's narration, Feng Yu's expression changed, and he asked, "Didn't Yuan Shu send troops to stop them when they passed through Luyang?"

Xun You shook his head and said: "As far as you know, Yuan Shu only defended the city in Luyang, and did not go out to intercept the passing army. Moreover, Li Jue and Li Meng must have expected that Yuan Shu would not cut off their way back, so he dared to enter Luyang. Drive straight into no man's land."

Feng Yu sneered and said: "This Yuan Gonglu only wants to take advantage of others, and he doesn't want to suffer at all." Then, Feng Yu asked: "Then how much manpower and armor does your Xun family have to defend against it?" Li Jue's bandit army?"

Xun You said: "Li Jue's rebel army suddenly invaded Yingchuan, cutting off the connection between the north and the south of Yingchuan County. The Xun clan living near Linying and in the south all retreated to the Wuyang area, but the situation in the north is unknown. Now they are gathered in Wuyang There are no more than [-] young and strong soldiers available, and only [-] to [-] percent of them are soldiers."

Feng Yu frowned and said, "Didn't the power of your Xun family extend to Runan County, which is adjacent to Yingchuan? Are there still troops there?"

Xun You smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "Before Uncle Xun Yu left Yingchuan, our Xun family's influence did extend to Runan County. But since Yuan Shu left for Nanyang, we have relied on the Yuan family's various network resources in Runan to win people's hearts. Now part of the population in Runan has been relocated to Luyang, and most of the remaining local officials, wealthy households and powerful people also respect the order of Yuan Gonglu. Of course, our Xun family can still pass through the territory of Runan without hindrance, but the soldiers from Runan The people are trying their best to save Yingchuan and Wuyang, and I am afraid that they will have to pass Yuan Gonglu."

Feng Yu nodded, and said meaningfully: "I understand!" Xun You next to him didn't know the true meaning of Feng Yu's words, but thought it was Feng Yu's exclamation.

In fact, Feng Yu really understood a problem.Before, it was difficult for Feng Yu to understand how people like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could lay their foundation in just five or six months in this era of doomsday + troubled times.

On the other hand, Emperor Ling came out to "start a business" when he was alive.It took nearly two years, untold hardships, and system assistance to lay such a foundation.

It turned out that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others also had a "card for surrendering generals" - that is, their family background of four generations and three lords; it is their old disciples all over the world.And this "card" can still be used repeatedly within their family's sphere of influence.

Feng Yu made up his mind, and said to Xun You: "There is no hesitation in matters, and soldiers are precious and fast. A certain day will gather elite soldiers and generals to return to Wuyang with Gongda. We will face Li Jue and Li Meng's bandit army."

Although Feng Yu had already made an appointment with Xun Yu, Xun You still did not expect Feng Yu to undertake the task of rescuing Wuyang so readily.He bowed and kowtowed excitedly to Feng Yu: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness of rescue, this is a timely gift."

A moment later, drums and trumpets sounded in unison on the school field of Zhuyang Barracks.Excluding the Wei Feng Battalion stationed in Wuxian County, the remaining 600 soldiers of the Zhuyang Army began to assemble as a whole.

Feng Yu named the four battalions and his own soldiers as the main force of the battle.The two lieutenants in the four battalions were Dian Qing and Liao Hua who had just switched defenses with Wei Feng.There is only one battalion left in Zhuyang.

Feng Yu thought for a while, and decided to let Xu Rong guard Zhuyang.Hearing this decision, Dian Qing and Liao Hua were obviously moved.Isn't it too risky to entrust such a heavy responsibility to a newly attached general?

Feng Yu's consideration is that taking Xu Rong to fight against the army of the "former boss" in this battle will make Xu Rong feel embarrassed.So it is most appropriate for Xu Rong to guard Zhuyang.

As for the risks involved, Feng Yu doesn't take it seriously, because he can check the friendliness of his generals in real time on the system panel.In addition, Feng Yu is also confident in Xu Rong's loyalty to him.

And Xu Rong naturally understood the intention of Feng Yu's decision, and with gratitude to Feng Yu in his heart, his friendship rose to full value.

Chapter 060

The third day of February in the first year of Chuping.A well-armored and well-equipped army appeared under the turbulent Wuyang City.It was the Zhuyang Army who crossed the Nanyang Plain and came to Wuyang, which brought some comfort to the frightened soldiers and people of Wuyang.

Feng Yu brought not only armor, but also food and grass that Wuyang urgently needed.Originally, in Wuyang City controlled by the Xun family, the granary was full of surplus grain.However, with the influx of refugees fleeing from the war in the north, the food was not enough.

In fact, even including the food and grass brought by Feng Yu, it was just enough to sustain the needs of the soldiers and people in the city for one and a half months.

Not long after Xun You and Feng Yu arrived in Wuyang, another wave of routs appeared from the east.They are Yingchuan soldiers guarding Zhaoling near the city.

As Xun You expected, Li Jue and Li Meng marched southwest again after several days of plundering around Linying.Zhaoling City to the east of Wuyang was breached yesterday.The besieged people in the city were massacred and looted, only the hundreds of Yingchuan remnants escaped.

Hearing this news, Xun You's face became even more melancholy.Originally, Zhaoling and Wuyang were the horns of each other, so Xun You stationed part of his troops in Zhaoling so that the two cities could support each other.

The loss of Zhaoling now means that Wuyang is an isolated city.And the remaining troops are not more than [-] people as I told Feng Yu before.

The hundreds of remnant soldiers who escaped, together with the soldiers and young adults in Wuyang City, are now less than 5000 people.Moreover, the morale of these people is low, and most of them are civilians without any experience in military combat.

Feng Yu beside Xun You had a calm expression on his face, still looking confident and confident.This calmed down Xun You, who was restless.

Xun You took out the seal and ribbon of the Wuyang Order, handed it to Feng Yu with both hands, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the thousands of Xun clan members and tens of thousands of people in Wuyang City are entrusted to you."...

……

In early spring, a new layer of green has appeared on the field.A hare suddenly pricked up its ears, and then burrowed into the hole with a chirp.After a while, two tall and healthy horses galloped past the rabbit hole.

But not long after, the two war horses also stopped, because there was also a faint sound of noise in the distance.The scouts of the Zhuyang Army on the horses reined in their horses and set up a pergola to look into the distance.

On the horizon about two hundred battles away, dust was flying and crowds were surging.

In front were people of all ages and children in various clothes, and even women in their 50s and [-]s.Most of them hold a sharpened wooden stick and bamboo pole in their hands, and a few of them hold farm tools such as hoes and shovels.

These people are numerous, huddled together in a chaotic manner, barely forming a wide array.Densely spread all over the wilderness.

If you look carefully, there are some soldiers with sharp swords and guns and bright uniforms among them.Driven by the scolding of these soldiers, these people walked forward with expressionless faces.

Behind them was a well-arranged military formation.There are also large groups of cavalry cavalry on the two wings.

The two scouts glanced over.This peculiar "mixed formation" is overwhelming and has a sense of boundlessness.There are at least [-] people.At this time, this huge team was making drums and trumpets, and the banners were surging towards this side slowly.

The two looked at each other, then turned the horse's head and galloped west.At this moment, the sound of iron hooves rushing came from the right.Based on their experience, the two scouts immediately judged that the opponent had at least a dozen riders galloping here.Then they whipped their horses and sped away.

The ten or so riders who came were scouts from Li Jue's army. They had already spotted the two Zhuyang scouts and urged their horses to chase after them.The distance between the two sides gradually approached, and they had already started shooting at each other with bows and crossbows.

A scout of the Zhuyang Army bent his bow and set up an arrow, but shot into the sky.It was a loud arrow, and it rose into the air with a lingering shriek...

Probably because the scouts of the Zhuyang Army had traveled a long distance, the speed of the horses was slightly lower than that of Li Jue's scouts.Li Jue's scouts got closer and closer to the scouts of the Zhuyang army, and the two scouts of the Zhuyang army had already been hit by several arrows.Of course, they also shot three people off their horses.

So Xin, the two cavalry scouts were both wearing black iron armor made of hundreds of refined steels, and the arrows could not completely penetrate the armor, causing only a little flesh damage.

Seeing that the other party was only a few battles away from him, there was a sinister smile on the face of the leader of Tanma.He yelled, and all his subordinates drew out their sabers, and the mounts under his crotch were also preparing for the final sprint.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the two cavalry scouts stopped their horses slowly and turned back.Beside them, there were still three cavalry scouts from the Zhuyang Army who had just galloped over, standing shoulder to shoulder with them.

The pursuers also hesitantly pulled the reins and paused their horses.Immediately they calmed down.Under the leadership of the leader, he continued to swing the saber to kill the opponent.

They believed that the opponent plus three reinforcements would only have five people, but they had ten people on their side, which was exactly twice as many as the opponent. Melee combat with horses and horses had at least an [-]% winning rate.

The leader of Tanma shouted loudly: "Yuanyang cut!".Immediately, they launched an attack in a group of two, each holding a knife in his left and right hands, and attacking the other person from left to right.

No matter how high the personal combat power of Zhuyang army scouts is, it is difficult to resist this kind of formation-style hedging and pinching attack.

Unexpectedly, the five Zhuyang army scouts didn't panic, and waved the special saber in their hands, and rushed towards these scouts without fear.In addition, a leading scout issued a loud whistle.
