Wang Lei immediately asked: "Should our army's attack on Cao Cao be stopped?"
To be honest, the current situation was not what Wang Lei saw. He ate sand in the desert for several years and finally returned to the pass. He took office and became the head coach of the Southern Expedition, but something went wrong in the first battle. Now he hates Liu Bei so much!"
Xu Weidao: "What is Cao Cao doing now?"
Liu Bei made such a big move, he didn't believe that Cao Cao would not do anything!
Jia Xu immediately took out Cao Cao's intelligence and said: "Ten days after Liu Bei attacked Yuzhou, Cao Cao's soldiers began to gather in large numbers throughout the Qingxu land, including Le'an State on the Yellow River, Jinan State, Taishan County, and many prefectures and counties in Xuzhou. Soldiers have also gathered in large numbers, and now Cao Cao has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. Judging from Cao Cao's actions, he wants to recruit all the soldiers from the entire Qingxu Land!"
Xu Wei said with a serious face: "Sure enough, there was a premeditation between them. At first we thought that Cao Cao and Liu Bei wanted to defend against the attack of our large army, but we did not expect that Liu Bei and the others wanted to counterattack us!"
"But if you want to compete with our Daqian in terms of military strength, it's just a trick! This time I Daqian will defeat Liu Bei and Cao Cao at once!"
Cao Cao had no idea that his behavior completely angered Xu Wei. Xu Wei did not point the finger at Liu Bei, but pointed at him. He was going to be in trouble.
Xu Wei's farming style has reached its zenith, and now he can completely defeat any enemy with an army. Others' claims of a million-strong army are just false accusations, if they don't just add civilians to the mix, but after more than ten years of Xu Wei's transformation, Now Hebei can really mobilize a million-strong army, and at the same time, it also has the logistical strength to maintain this army's expedition!
Xu Wei wanted to stay with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two enemies, to slow down the speed of internal corruption in Daqian, but he did not want Liu Bei and Cao Cao to affect his internal affairs construction. If he wanted to be invaded by enemies at every turn, this construction would not be the same as now. It was destroyed by the war.
So Xu Wei completely destroyed Cao Cao and annexed Cao Cao's territory in this war. He gave Liu Bei a serious warning to let him know the consequences of messing with him!
Thinking of this, Xu Wei said seriously: "Issue a mobilization order in the four states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou! Among them, Jizhou mobilizes 300,000 troops, Yanzhou mobilizes 200,000 troops, and Yuzhou and Youzhou each mobilize 100,000 troops."
"Wang Lei!"
Wang Lei said seriously: "A certain general is here!"
"You will lead the 300,000-strong army in Jizhou. I have only one request: cross the Yellow River and invade Qingzhou!"
Wang Lei said seriously: "No!"
Xu Wei looked at Fan Xian and said: "Since your navy also wants to make contributions, you will take the lead this time. The 100,000 troops assembled in Youzhou will be attacked by your navy from the east of Qingzhou by sea, catching Cao Cao off guard."
Fan Xian thought for a while and said, "To transport 100,000 soldiers and related food and supplies, a large number of transport ships are needed. Our navy alone does not have enough warships. We need to mobilize civilian ships to help transport soldiers and food and supplies!"
Xu Wei looked at Niu Gui and Xu Juan and said, "You help Fan Xian solve these matters. Rent these transport ships at market prices and compensate for any damage according to the price!"
Niu Gui and Xu Juan bowed their hands and said, "No!"
Then Xu Wei looked at Jia Xu and said: "After the mobilization of the Royal Army in Yanzhou is completed, lead an army of 100,000 people south to support Yang Feng, and an army of 100,000 people attack Xuzhou!"
Jia Xu bowed and said: "No!"
Finally, Xu Wei looked at Niu Guidao: "This time I have mobilized nearly 800,000 troops. Logistics support is very important. You will have to work hard for all this. We must not let the front line lack food, grass and weapons!"
Niu Gui solemnly said: "My subordinates will definitely not disappoint the ruler!"
After Xu Wei's order was issued, Daqian, this huge war machine, started to move!
Youzhou was the first to be agitated. Xu Wei's mobilization order had just been issued. The entire Jixian County, even Yuyang County, and Youzhou knew about it. The government issued a mobilization order again. Guangyouzhou would mobilize 100,000 soldiers. If additional The logistics workers are afraid that they will have to recruit 300,000 people.
The people throughout Youzhou have been looking forward to Daqian's recruitment order for a long time. Unfortunately, such mobilization orders occurred more frequently when Daqian was still in Mayi, but they will not happen until Daqian takes over the entire Hebei area. Very few, that is, they were mobilized once during the invasion of the Central Plains!
Although there are many ways to go up the mountain in Daqian at this time, joining the army is always the fastest way to change your destiny. After joining the army and becoming a standing army, your future is guaranteed, and even if you retire, you can be arranged to enter an official factory. , it is guaranteed for life, and there are tens of thousands of rewards for victory. Such good treatment, even in Daqian, there are still a large number of people who want to join!
So after the mobilization order was issued, everyone in the counties, villages and tribes in Youzhou enthusiastically competed to be the first, especially in the remote mountain villages. They were already poor and had no other skills except farming, so they joined the army. It was almost their only chance to change their destiny. So many villages fought hard to grab a spot. Everyone came to Tinghou to build connections, hoping to get more spots for their hometowns!
In the next few days, the entire Youzhou was bustling with excitement, and even businessmen joined in the carnival.
It must be said that the business environment here in Daqian is extremely good. Compared with the Han Dynasty, the officials in Daqian can be said to be as clean as water. Although the taxes are very high, minus the cost of bribing the officials, the profits from doing business in Daqian are Still much taller than the big man.
Not to mention that the economy in Dahan is active, and new industries often appear, and each new industry must bring a lot of wealth, such as the struvite industry, fishing industry, shipbuilding industry, rail carriage industry, and even the new whaling industry. Industries, each of these industries can lead to tens of billions of wealth. Last year, Daqian even expanded the land equalization order. After a large number of people obtained land, their incomes increased, making the entire Daqian economy active. It can be said that in recent years, Zhen They can make a lot of money in Daqian.
But Zhen An and the others are not without worries. That is, although their status is a little higher than that of the Han Dynasty, it is still limited. In Daqian, their merchants still cannot be officials, and they do not have much power, even in rural areas. Any mud-legged person can be an official, but few of them appear in the officialdom.
Today's mud-legged people may not be able to become a new noble family in the future, but if they merchants do not seize the opportunity of the founding of the Daqian Dynasty and change their identities, no matter how much money they have, they will still be despised merchants. !My colleagues in the Han Dynasty have told me with their own lives that in the eyes of officials of a country, merchants are just fat pigs that can be slaughtered as long as they are short of money. Their colleagues in the Han Dynasty have been slaughtered two or three times, and they do not want to do it again Faced with such a fate.
Military merit is the most important thing in Daqian. Military merit can change the fate of merchants like them. Now Fan Xian has mobilized their transport ships to transport soldiers. They have taken out their best and largest ships and also dispatched their best soldiers. The captain and sailors helped Fan Xian transport the soldiers in order to gain some military merit and change their destiny after the war was won!
So with the active help of these merchants, Fan Xian not only exceeded the task limit, but also got a large number of sailors and experienced captains to help transport soldiers and supplies!
Half a month later, as the army was assembled and various supplies were moved to the transport ships, a fleet of 2,000 transport ships worth more than a thousand stones set off in the direction of Qingzhou!
The words are divided into two parts, Hebei is still mobilizing! But the war in Yuzhou is already raging!
Facing Liu Bei's fierce attack, Yang Feng retreated step by step, trading space for time, and retreated all the way to Xu County. Most of Yingchuan County's territory was lost, but at the same time, during Yang Feng's retreat, the entire Yuzhou also became A huge barracks.
The land that had just been distributed by Da Qian, the newly built houses with the help of Da Qian, and the grain distributed by Da Qian in the houses made the people of Yuzhou quickly return to their homes after experiencing Yuan Tan's chaos. Now the people of Yuzhou have already I no longer consider myself a subject of the Han Dynasty, but a subordinate of Thunder Lord!
So when they heard that the Han invaded Yuzhou again, the local people remembered the miserable days in the previous two years. All their belongings were reduced to nothing, and they had to sell their sons and daughters to pay taxes to Yuan Tan. It is not appropriate for the people of the Han Dynasty to do corvee service!
So when the Han army came to Yuzhou again, the people of Yuzhou ran to the recruiting pavilions one after another to join the army to defend their current lives! In the pavilions of Runan County, Yingchuan County, Chen State, Liang State, Pei State, and Lu State They were full of people who wanted to protect their homes and country. In less than 10 days, 100,000 people in Yuzhou joined the army.
Although these people have poor field combat ability, they can play a vital role in the defense of the city. With the help of these people, Guan Yu's attack speed was hindered, and groups of guerrillas also appeared behind him. Team, harass Guan Yu’s logistics team!
As a result, Guan Yu could not divide his troops to guard his rear, but he also had to divide his troops to clear out these guerrillas! This left Guan Yu with only 30,000 troops on the front line. The insufficient troops made it difficult for Guan Yu to continue to advance and join Liu Bei, so he could only send Use your own elite army to wipe out these fly-like guerrillas!
The Yangzhou Army seized a lot of guerrilla warfare, and Guan Yu ordered people to bring the leaders of the guerrillas to his camp!
Guan Yu looked at the guerrilla leader and asked: "You were originally the common people of the Han Dynasty. Now the King's Division of the Han Dynasty is counterattacking Yuzhou. Why do you resist the King's Division of the Han Dynasty!"
This is what Guan Yu doesn't understand the most. It has only been a year since the fall of Yuzhou. In the past, Lei Gong used land to win people's hearts, but as far as he knew, Yuan Tan also divided the fields in Yuzhou, and each household had 100 acres.
This is much more generous than Lei Gong!
But the leader smiled and said: "I have lived under the rule of the Han Dynasty for half my life, but I have never had a few full meals. Yuan Tan, the prodigal son, said it well. What about dividing the land and using paper money to offset taxes, but that's not the case.
As always, they stole whatever food I had, and it was because of Yuan Tan that my wife and son starved to death. I was also recruited by him as cannon fodder and almost died on the battlefield."
"Yuan Tan ruined my family and wants me to sacrifice my life for him, bah!"
"I surrendered immediately when I saw the army led by Lord Lei and saved my life. But Lord Lei was completely different from you guys. Not only did he let us soldiers go, but he also gave us food and travel expenses and allowed us to return to our hometown.
Later, the subordinates of Lei Gong gave us food and helped us build houses and canals, so that my dilapidated home could be rebuilt, but I had enough to eat for a year. I am not a fool. Who can treat me?
I can't even tell the difference between good and bad. Just based on the food I have had this year, I should have sold my life to the Lord Thunder to rule!"
"What you officials of the Han Dynasty say is nice, but you don't want to rob us of all our food. In the face of bandits like you, we were going to participate in defending our homeland. How can we wait for you to capture Yuzhou and let me live with that kind of people again?"
In the days when there are no humans or ghosts, I would rather die in battle than let you big men continue to occupy my hometown!"
Guan Yu saw the people of Yuzhou who looked hostile to him and said: "Take Rang down and lock him up!"
He also felt deeply helpless in his heart. Lei Gong's ability to confuse the people was so strong that after occupying Yuzhou for only one year, the entire Yuzhou people were willing to sacrifice their lives for Lei Gong!
Of course, the one he resents the most is Yuan Tan. If Yuan Tan hadn't been desperately conquering Yuzhou, the people of Yuzhou would not have seen Lei Gong as their savior. If the three million people of Yuzhou had hated them like the guerrilla leader just now
The Han army is afraid that it will be difficult for them to fight in the Yuzhou battle this time!
Guan Yu knew that the Han Dynasty had lost the hearts of the people in Yuzhou, so he simply stopped attacking the city and moved towards Liu Bei's army. He planned to join Liu Bei's army and retreat to Jingzhou together!
Yingchuan County, Xu County!
Half a month after fighting Liu Bei, Duan Peng and his 50,000 cavalry finally arrived in Xu County! With this powerful cavalry, Yang Feng finally had hope of defeating Liu Bei!
So after Duan Peng's cavalry had been resting for two days, Yang Feng led an army of 80,000 cavalry and infantry to attack Liu Bei's army. The two sides started a fierce battle five miles outside Xu County.
At the beginning of the war, Duan Peng's cavalry attacked Liu Bei's central army. Liu Bei showed weakness and led his troops to fight and retreat. Duan Peng's army pursued him, but soon he discovered that Liu Bei's army was using a hollow square formation, and the inside of the square formation was full of hollows.
There are simple flying thunder cannons. Once their cavalry wants to attack Liu Bei's military formation, the flying thunder cannons will fire more than ten kilograms of shells, which will cause the cavalry brigade to flip over. If they want to attack Liu Bei's army from a long distance, they will use cavalry fire.
formation, but the range of the crossbowmen in the phalanx exceeded the range of the mounted bows.
For a time, Duan Peng's cavalry was actually restrained by Liu Bei's new spear phalanx, making it difficult to kill the Han army!
At this time, after Liu Bei's spear phalanx found that it was difficult for the Daqian cavalry to conquer their military formation, they pressed forward step by step and continued to attack!
