Three Kingdoms Eschatology

After Zhushui gushes out from the deep mountains, it rushes towards Mianshui in the southeast.The personnel of the three hydraulic mills are already in place, and the three huge water wheels are slowly turning under the impetus of the flowing water in the aqueduct.

Indoors, the shaft driven by the water wheel is rotating rapidly.Driving each mortar grain, the grinding machine starts to run.

In Feng's dormitory, accompanied by Li'er's panting, her bed curtain seemed to vibrate slightly following the rhythm of the mill machinery a few miles away.

Chapter 010 The Fort on the Ruins

Two days later, Kuai's family sent people to Zhuyang City after receiving Feng Yu's letter.In addition to Kuai Tong, there is another person whose status in Kuai Tong's family is obviously much higher than that of Kuai Tong, judging from his ostentation and Kuai Tong's respectful attitude towards him.

When Feng Yu was about to ask about the identity of this person, Liu Biao on the side had already put on a smile and greeted him with his hands:

"Oh, I'm really flattered to have Brother Yidu come to greet you in person." Then he turned around and introduced to Feng Yu, "Nephew, this is a close friend of a certain person, Jingxiang famous scholar Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu."

Kuai Yue hurriedly said: "Brother Jing Sheng, you are safe and sound. We haven't seen each other for almost a year since we left on the first day of the new year. I heard that you have been appointed as the Lord of Jingzhou by the imperial court. It is really a blessing for the people of Jingzhou! "

After the two flattered each other, Liu Biao introduced Feng Yu to Kuai Yue. Kuai Yue gave Feng Yu a contemptuous sideways glance, and casually bowed his hands to Feng Yu as an expression of courtesy.

Feng Yu welcomed Kuai Yue and Kuai Tong into the government office with a few words of flattery.After talking for a while, everyone got up to say goodbye, and they were about to take Liu Biao to Yicheng.

Feng Yu stood at the head of the city watching the team leave, thinking to himself [Liu Biao's future is uncertain, I must make preparations early. 】

Among the team that escorted Liu Biao, there were two teams of logistics engineers sent by Feng Yu.Besides escorting Liu Biao, they also have other important tasks...

Liu Biao who was sitting in the carriage suddenly fell silent, recalling what he saw and heard in Zhuyang City in the past two days.

Touring along the neat bluestone streets, you will find that all the workshops and yamen in the city are operating in an orderly manner.

In the barracks, the soldiers who were training yelled high-pitched trumpets from time to time, and the earth trembled slightly with their neat steps.Zhuyang actually has a professional army that is not involved in production at all.This is difficult to see in general local forces.

In the granary, the flour that was ground in the hydraulic mill outside the city was brought in by a pack of packing cars, and every warehouse kiln was piled to the brim.

"Brother Yidu, do you think this Zhuyang Hou will affect us in the future." Liu Biao asked suddenly after a moment of silence.

Kuai Yue, who was sitting in the same car with him, said disapprovingly: "It's just a brat with an eunuch background. If he knows what he's interested in, it's fine if he can join Brother Jing Sheng's command. Otherwise, after Brother Jing Sheng pacifies Jing Xiang, To wipe him out is like turning the palm of your hand."

Liu Biao said worriedly:

"Brother Gu knows that Jingzhou is in a complicated state. In addition to the numerous fortresses of Zongziwu, there are also strong prefects such as Sun Jian who dominate one side. The current governor of Jingzhou, Wang Rui, may also ignore me and refuse to hand over to me. As a brother, I don't even have the name of Jingzhou Inspector. How can I calm down Jingxiang?"

Kuai Yue smiled slyly and said, "Brother Jing Sheng, don't worry, my brother Kuai Liang and I have already planned this. It's just that Brother Jing Sheng still needs to wait patiently for a while..."

……

When Feng Yu heard the notification that the mission was completed in his mind, he knew that Liu Biao should have arrived in Yicheng safely.Looking at the system panel, five cards for sheltering thousands of people, one blue card for surrendering generals, and the building plans of the thousand-acre alfalfa field facilities, and the building plans of ordinary horse farm facilities are all included in the "bag".

A moment later, a whole team of heavy soldiers set off from Zhuyang with sufficient food supplies and engineering equipment. Their destination was the ruins of Xiangyang City nearly a hundred miles away.

There, they will join up with the logistics engineering team sent by two other tribes to escort Liu Biao.Then a small dock was built based on a corner of the abandoned city of Xiangyang.

This Xiangyang Wubao will be used as an outpost to monitor and guard Jingzhou's movements, and at the same time prevent other forces from occupying Xiangyang.After all, it is an important place to strangle Jingxiang's throat.

Before the onset of winter, it took two months of hard work by [-] logistics engineers.Xiangyang Wubao was finally completed on schedule.

When they returned, Feng Yu converted one of the teams into a scout team with the infantry scout training function unlocked by the system, and stationed [-] scouts in a long-term rotation in Xiangyang Wubao.

In the twelfth lunar month, approaching the new year, the snow is getting bigger and bigger.Even in the eyes of northerners, Nanyang, which is already in the south, is extremely cold.

The streets of Zhuyang City were also paved with a thick layer of snow, but a road had been cleared in the middle of the street, but there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road.

Many of them carried goods in their hands.Zhuyang City distributed three catties of flour, two catties of pork, one catty of mutton, one fish, two taels of salt, and two taels of bad wine to each adult.For children it is halved.

For this reason, the slaughterhouse in the city slaughtered more than 50 pigs in the pig farm and more than 100 sheep in the livestock farm this month.The fish is caught by farmers who organize slack from Zhushui and Mianshui.

There is also a queue in front of the public bathroom. People in Zhuyang City have developed the habit of taking a bath frequently, even in winter.Especially before the New Year, you must take a hot bath.

These people are all wearing winter clothes, the best is a fur coat made of sheepskin or animal skin, the worst is a cotton gown, of course the stuffing of the padded gown is not cotton, but silk, hemp rope, wool, bristle Things made by mixing and processing the leftovers of fiber products.But it was enough to keep warm.

The charcoal kilns outside the city are running at full capacity, and with one year's storage, it is enough to guarantee the heating consumption of the whole city for a whole winter.

For the first time, the civilians in Zhuyang City tasted the taste of food and clothing.Especially those refugees from the Feiyan Army who had just been conquered, felt as if they had been directly ascended from hell to heaven.

Just when Zhuyang City was immersed in a festive atmosphere.Thousands of miles away, the same snow-capped city of Luoyang was shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.

In the Nangong Propaganda Room, the emperor Liu Hong was already as angry as a silk.But there is one more important thing he still can't make up his mind about, which is the matter of setting up the crown prince.

Surrounding Liu Hong's bed, surrounding his palace, surrounding the entire Nangong Palace, and even surrounding the entire inner city of Luoyang.All are full of tense atmosphere, and people in it will feel a sense of suffocation.The gentry, foreign relatives, eunuchs and eunuchs all pricked up their ears and sharpened their claws.

Liu Hong himself wanted very much to help his second son, Dong Hou Liu Xie, to the throne.Helplessly, the ministers and doctors strongly opposed it, and more importantly, the relative He Shi and the general He Jin couldn't pass the test, and they couldn't stand it even if they wanted to.

In the end, neither of the two princes was established as a prince.Liu Hong, who had played all his life, left this world on the third day of the first lunar month.Before he died, he called Jian Shuo, the captain of the military school, and the little Huangmen and whispered a few words into his ear.

No one knew what those words were, because Jian Shuo also died a few days later.Jian Shuo tried to rely on the eunuch group to kill He Jin first, and then make Liu Xie emperor.It's a pity that the news leaked and failed.The eunuch group was forced to throw away their car to save Shuai, and killed Jian Shuo to apologize to General He Jin.

But things are just getting started.Under the instigation of the Yuan family represented by the former Taifu Yuan Wei and the public officials and nobles represented by the Yuan family, even though his own He family objected, He Jin did not give up his determination to kill the eunuchs.

Chapter 011 Really Stupid

In the snowstorm, an invisible team is staggering forward.Those cavalrymen riding tall and big horses were okay, but those infantrymen were walking in the snow that was more than a foot deep, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was miserable.The hands holding the weapon were already red and numb from the cold.

At the front of the team, a fat man about five or sixty years old, dressed in bright armor, rode on a horse, surrounded by generals and school.Obviously the fat man is the coach of this army.Behind him, a flag bearer held a large flag high, with the word Dong on it swaying in the wind.

He is Dong Zhuo who is working hard towards Luoyang, the capital city.It's just that until now, he still doesn't understand why He Jin wanted him to come to Beijing.Not to mention him, even his military adviser and son-in-law Li Ru didn't understand.

He and Li Ru repeatedly discussed this issue, but finally couldn't figure out why.But one conclusion is clear, no matter what He Jin's motive is, no matter what mystery is behind it.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Dong Zhuo.So he raised his troops to Luoyang, the capital of Han Dynasty, without hesitation.

According to the letter, the reason why He Jin invited him to the capital was that he wanted to punish the eunuchs, but he was afraid that the eunuchs would be too powerful to catch them and would be killed by them instead.Therefore, foreign troops should be invited to Beijing to assist in the eradication of the eunuchs.

But this reason is obviously absurd. After killing Sai Shuo, He Jin and the gentry ministers allied with him have undoubtedly grasped the absolute military power in the capital.In this case, not to mention inviting foreign troops, even the Xiyuan Army of the Forbidden Army does not need to be moved, and it is enough to capture the eunuchs with only a few court officers and yamen servants.

They also imagined that He Jin might be worried that his actual control over the Fifth Battalion of the Forbidden Army and the new Xiyuan Army was not tight.If the matter is leaked, the eunuch group will fight desperately.A single edict can disintegrate one's own military power, leading to failure in the end.

It is true that there is such a worry in the past. Twenty years ago, General Dou Wu, who was also a foreign relative, was like this. His lessons learned from the past are there.However, it is logically unreasonable to invite Dong Zhuo to Beijing because of such concerns.

For the eunuch group, what is the difference between recruiting Dong Zhuo to Beijing and directly driving troops to kill the eunuchs?Isn't it all a declaration of war?Wouldn't it all stimulate the eunuch group to fight to the death?

In other words, if you He Jin can suppress the eunuch's desperate counterattack, why call foreign troops?If not, what is the use of summoning foreign troops?Before the arrival of foreign troops, your head will fall to the ground.

……

He Jin's bloody head was thrown out of the palace wall.A moment later, Cao Cao grabbed Yuan Shao's sleeve who was panicked and about to flee.

【I originally thought that your Yuan family's instigating He Jin to call Dong Zhuo to the capital was a clever trick. The motive was to completely break up with the eunuchs and relatives, and to force the eunuchs to do it.Although this little trick is very short-sighted, it is also a trick.Looking at your performance today, I realized that you don't even have this little cleverness. It turns out that you are stupid, really stupid! 】

Of course, these words only surfaced in Cao Cao's mind, and he would not say them out.He only briefly said to Yuan Shao, "If you run away today, we will be Han thieves. Lead the troops to rush in and kill the eunuchs, and you can build an indomitable deed."

...

Thousands of soldiers stationed outside the Nangong, led by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, began to attack the palace gate, and sent soldiers to notify the ministries.Soon the rest of the Imperial Guards in Luoyang City, Xiyuan Army's various departments moved upon hearing the news, and Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Shu also led troops to attack Nangong.

Nearly ten thousand soldiers walked through the streets and alleys in the inner and outer cities of Luoyang, hunting and killing eunuchs identified by the gentry and officials, and looting the mansions of those identified as eunuchs.Luoyang City is already full of beacons and flames.The school of Hongdu Menxue was also burned to ashes.

Not long after, Nangong was breached, and flames shot up into the sky in the palace.The eunuchs headed by Zhang Rang hijacked the emperor and the king of Bohai and fled along the Fudao to the North Palace, then left the North City Gate and fled to the area of ​​Beiman Mountain...

It was dawn, and a red sun rose from the snow.From time to time, patches of bright red and corpses lying on them can be seen on the snow between the inner and outer cities of Luoyang.A banner protruded from the horizon in the distance, and then a line of people appeared.The banner was getting bigger and bigger, and finally the character [Dong] could be clearly seen on it.

It was the first month of the sixth year of Zhongping, and Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang safely with the emperor and King Bohai.This is earlier than the history of Feng Yu's world.

It was ten days later when Feng Yu received the news.

A messenger servant who often travels between Zhuyang and Feng's mansion in the capital brought a letter to Feng Yu.

The letter was written by Feng Fang, and the content was only a few dozen words: [The capital has undergone tremendous changes, and my father is taking his family and trilogy to you to avoid disaster, so hurry up to respond. 】

Although the letter did not mention any great changes in Luoyang, based on the description of Chuanxin's servants and the history of the original world, Feng Yu guessed that He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo's entry to Beijing happened.

Without too much hesitation, he immediately ordered [-] soldiers, [-] scouts, and took seven days of dry food, and hurried on the road.

Although Feng Yu didn't have any feelings for Feng's family, after all, he was raised by Feng's family in this world, and most of the eight hundred households that started his family were given by Feng Fang.

If you completely ignore it, you can live by yourself.His reputation in this Eastern Han society where filial piety is the key is completely ruined, even if this is the end of the world.At that time, no one would be willing to be a subject of his own generals, and no one would look at him seriously again.

When he stepped on his black-maned horse, the system prompt sounded:

[Mission: To meet the evacuated Feng family.Content: It is a trilogy to respond to the Feng family who escaped due to the chaos in Luoyang.Task completion reward: Dovecote building blueprint x1 tiger and leopard cavalry training unlock]

Feng Yu thought to himself.That's good, I haven't trained an ordinary cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry are about to be unlocked, and I will directly develop by leaps and bounds.

With an order, the team crossed the Mianshui River and rushed to the northeast.

At this time, in Mount Lu, five hundred miles away, Feng Fang was lying on a stretcher, and the servants of the trilogy carried him forward in the wilderness with difficulty.An arrow was shot in his right rib, and the cluster of arrows had penetrated into the chest cavity.Although not dead.But according to the medical conditions of this era, time is numbered.

He stared blankly at the sky, remembering what happened that night.Although Feng Yu had sent a letter a long time ago, asking him to be wary of the alliance between foreign relatives and gentry ministers, and be wary of possible turmoil in the capital.But things came too suddenly.

So Xin, he was still prepared.As soon as he knew what was going on, he took several boxes of soft goods that had already been packed, and picked up thousands of households and tenants who had already gathered in the manor in the outer city of Luoyang.With a few wives, concubines and children, he fled to the outside of Luoyang in a hurry.At the same time, an urgent letter was sent to Feng Yu.

Of course, the biggest preparation is Feng Yu's pawn.At the beginning, he disregarded the opposition of his wife, Cao Shi, and let Feng Yu take out a small half of the parts, just to leave a way out for the Feng family.

But unfortunately, when he was about to run out of Dagu Pass, he was intercepted by a part of the Northern Army.In the end, although he was lucky enough to break through the siege, all his wives, concubines and children were sunk in the chaos, and most of his trilogy was lost. He was also shot by an arrow, and his life was not long.

Now all his hopes, or the hopes of the Feng family, rest on Feng Yu.

Chapter 012 The Missing Scout

Two soldiers in light leather armor ran wildly in the wilderness full of weeds.They wear leggings on their calves, small round shields with tiger heads on their backs, hundreds of refined steel knives hanging on their waists, and a two-foot-long composite short bow in their hands.

The fast-running body separated the weeds to the two sides like waves.But nearly a hundred battles behind him, there were seven or eight fully armed riders chasing after him. Under the iron hooves of the horses, weeds that were higher than human knees were trampled down in pieces.Divide the meadow into traces similar to the tracks of large ships.

The distance between the pursuer and the pursued gradually narrows.

"Brother, we can't run like this. In the end, no one will be able to escape. Let's go separately, and I'll finish it off! You hurry up!" A slightly older man shouted to the other.

"No, brother, I can't leave you alone."

"Don't be a mother-in-law. If you don't leave, we will all die here. They are here to silence you. Go away!" The older man yelled.The other person nodded silently with tears in his eyes.

"You must live to see the lord. Also take care of your sister-in-law and your nephew..."

The young man took a deep breath and galloped north.The older man knelt on one knee, half hidden in the grass.After the opponent approaches, bow and arrow is just one arrow.The arrow didn't hit the man, but the horse.Then he got up and ran quickly to the south.Then bow and arrow again.

The riders all wore full armor made of unknown materials.The bow in his hand is a compound bow arm with a strengthened bowstring.But after all, it was still a short bow with limited power. He was worried that the arrows might not be able to penetrate the armor of the knights, so he shot horses and infantry.

While the horse screamed and neighed, one of the pursuers had rolled off the horse and fell to the ground.The other people were stunned for a moment, seeing that the opponent was bending their bows and shooting arrows again, they didn't dare to charge straight ahead, they steered their horses to scatter to the two sides, and a few people came up in groups.

Whoosh was another arrow, this arrow hit the horse's leg, and another person fell off the horse.At the same time, a rider rushed forward, and a saber slashed at him head-on.The man had already copied the small shield on his back in his hand, raised the shield to block it, and made a clanging sound...

In the gap on the eastern edge of Nanyang Basin - at the Fangcheng wasteland, more than a dozen banners fluttered in the wind.The team of hundreds of people under the flag has been standing here for less than half an hour.The mount under the crotch of a young general also became visibly anxious, taking small steps in circles on the spot.

This young general was none other than Feng Yu, who had estimated that he would be able to join his father Feng Fang in the eastern part of the Nanyang Plain.So after bypassing Wancheng from the south, they began to dispatch scouts to investigate around the route every day.And call up the system panel to check from time to time, in case he and Feng Fang miss it.

But until he reached the edge of the Nanyang Basin, there was still no sign of Feng Fang's men, and he felt very strange.Of course, he doesn't know about Feng Fang's attack and injury in front of Dagu Pass.

This morning, he sent out ten groups of scouts as usual, let them leave the team, spread out in a fan shape to scout the front two wings, in case he and Feng Fang missed it.

It was originally agreed that at noon, the scouts should meet up with the team here.But at the appointed time and place, only nine groups of scouts returned to the team, and another group of scouts has not been seen until now.

Miao Hua urged the horse to go forward, clasped his fists to Feng Yu and said, "My lord, these two scouts may have encountered an accident. Why don't you lead the brigade first. Miao Hua and a few soldiers are waiting for them here."

Feng Yu nodded: "That's the way it is..." Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion among the surrounding soldiers, and they pointed towards the distance.

"My lord, there is a group of people coming from a distance!" A soldier said to Feng Yu.Feng Yu looked intently, and there were several banners and banners rising from the wild grass in the distance, and there was a word "Feng" faintly among those broken banners.He hastily led his followers to greet him.

After a while, the two parties joined together, and when the other party knew that it was his lord's son Feng Yu's troops who came to meet him, cheers immediately resounded over the wilderness of Fangcheng.

Feng Yu came to Feng Fang's stretcher, and the latter had only one breath left.In fact, if he hadn't wanted to see Feng Yu for the last time, he wouldn't have lasted until now.

When Feng Fang saw Feng Yu, there was a glimmer of light in his already empty pupils.He briefly said something to Feng Yu, which was not only a summary of his life, but also an expectation for Feng Yu:

"Son, our Feng family was originally a small family of commoners. In order to honor the lintel, we took the Cao family for our father. This is how we got out of the humble family and entered the rich and noble. Let our Feng family also be ranked... Among the three lords and nine nobles Listed. Who knows that today, this is fetching water from a bamboo basket..."

When Feng Fang said this, he sobbed twice, and suddenly stretched out his withered palm to grab Feng Yu's neck.He took another deep breath and said:

"No,... we still have you in the Feng family. As a father, I admit that I have invested little in you since I was a child, and even forgot your mother's name. But son, don't forget, your surname is Feng anyway... Father can't give you anything now, only nearly [-] pieces. From now on...it will be up to you..."

Feng Fang finally swallowed his last breath and collapsed in Feng Yu's arms.Feng Yu calmly laid Feng Fang flat on the stretcher, covered him with a blanket, and then ordered: "Pass my military order and return to Zhuyang."

At this time, there was another pigeon house building drawing in his system "package", and the tiger and leopard riding training was also unlocked.

Miao Hua reminded Feng Yu: "My lord, those two scouts haven't returned yet, do you think there are a few people left to meet them?"

Feng Yu pondered for a while and said: "No need, these scouts are elites with strong survivability. As long as nothing happens to them, they will be able to return to Zhuyang alive. If something happens, it's useless for you to wait here."

A few days later, the army returned to Zhuyang.As usual, Feng Yu used two [-]-person shelter cards to include all the people brought by Feng Fang as the system population.

Feng Yu used the building cards in the system "package" to build a pigeon house in Zhuyang City, and built a horse farm and a thousand mu of alfalfa field outside the city.The horse farm started with 650 Xiliang horses.Four hundred of them were stallions.If you need more advanced breeds of horses, you need to build a more advanced horse farm accordingly.

In the end, Feng Yu formed two new teams of tiger and leopard cavalry, and the remaining population was solved by adding wheat fields.At this time, a system notification sound came: [Reminder: The iron ingots in stock are on the verge of exhaustion, please prepare for it as soon as possible. 】Feng Yu shook his head, sighed and said, "I'm going to buy iron from Kuai Tong again at a high price."

Iron, like salt, is one of the few things in Zhuyang City that cannot be self-sufficient.Because there are no iron mines within hundreds of miles of Zhuyang.

But iron is not a daily consumable like salt, and Feng Yu has taken some measures to artificially reduce the demand for iron.

For example, in terms of choosing arms, spearmen have less demand for iron materials, which is one of the reasons why Feng Yu chose spear shield soldiers instead of sword shield soldiers.Of course, it is only one of the reasons. In terms of the actual infantry killing efficiency, guns are higher than knives. It is also one of the reasons.
