After all, Shen Tao was a step too slow and only rescued some of the people who caused the incident. Even Ji Ben and Jin Yi died.
However, this battle was a narrow escape, and Shen Chen's rescue efforts of hundreds of miles were already at their limit. However, Cao Jun was not a loser, and arrived in time to quell the rebellion.
Therefore, Chen Du's rebellion will not pose any threat to Cao Cao, and Shen Tao can only rescue the remaining people, that's all.
However, the subsequent impact of this incident is still great.
The first is military morale.
The soldiers of the Huangmen have won many battles, and some people often say that they are the best in the world. Cao's soldiers often become frightened when they hear the soldiers of the Huangmen, which has a great influence on the morale of the army.
Second is morale.
The morale here does not refer to the courage of the soldiers, but to the influence on the wealthy families.
The troops sent by Shen Chen came to the capital city several times. Last time they burned Xudu, and this time they broke into Chendu and marched straight into Huanglong. It was like entering an uninhabited country.
For those "Han officials" and "rich families" who were swayed by the wind, it would obviously make them feel that Cao Cao was insincere.
Zhang Gan raised his head and glanced at the sky. From yesterday to today, they had only walked seven or eight miles in one day. If they continued like this, they would not be able to reach Changshe until the day after tomorrow, which was really a waste of time.
After all, the Diannong Army was only a second-line force. Although its combat effectiveness was comparable to that of Jiangdong's first-line infantry, at this time they could not gather their formation and were disconnected from the front and rear. How could they fight?
After Zhang Qian died, people immediately dispersed. No one was willing to risk his life for food and grass that could not be saved.
All Cao's troops were in a panic and hurriedly listened to the whistle and began to gather.
You must know that the convoy stretches for more than ten miles, and two thousand soldiers are spread out like this. In addition, the civilians are running around and delaying the movement. Organizing 300 people in a short period of time is already the limit.
"Run."
Cao Cao stationed 100,000 troops on the front line of Nanyang. The soldiers had to eat about 2.7 shi per month. In one month, that was nearly 300,000 shi of food, which was an astronomical figure.
However, it was obviously not something that could be done in a short time to turn around the grain transport convoy that stretched for more than ten miles and sent nearly three months of grain and fodder for the frontline defenders back to Changshe City, weighing hundreds of thousands of stone.
The food was quickly ignited and burned with blazing flames. The horses were burned by the flames and ran around in fear. In just a moment, the official road of more than ten miles turned into a sea of fire, even affecting the surrounding fields, wilderness and even forests.
There will also be a certain chain reaction on the battlefield ahead.
But the group of light cavalry were obviously faster than him. Before Cao Jun could deploy his arrows, they had already rushed forward and shot with their horse bows.
After a few breaths, the subtle voice finally became clear. Although it was still very small, it was no longer as subtle as before.
A civilian man in front stumbled and fell. Zhang Gan was furious, raised his riding crop and whipped him, shouting: "I'll behead you for delaying the transportation of grain."
Even Cao Jun ran away.
Therefore, this time the Huangmen soldiers once again attacked Chendu for hundreds of miles. Although the result was only to pick up some rebels and their families, the negative impact was huge.
Zhang Xiu stood on the spot, and the knights around him galloped toward the north and south convoys on his left and right like a sea parting.
"Dong dong dong dong."
He saw that on the ground of the rammed-earth official road, the untrodden loess lightly scattered a little dust.
The last thing is people's hearts.
The soldier wanted to say something else, but Hei San ignored him and continued on his way.
In the absence of soldiers, the army's ability to manage and coordinate civilians has been greatly reduced, leading to frequent situations.
Zhang Qian temporarily organized a defense of 300 people.
The peasants were so frightened that they fled in panic and fled towards the northwest toward the fields.
But at this time, everything was in chaos, and the civilians fled in all directions. The original order was barely maintained, but now tens of thousands of civilians were running around, making it impossible for the two thousand Cao troops to get into position.
It's more than that.
Seeing this situation, how could the people of various states and counties still think that Cao Wei's defense was impregnable and could protect them?
What's more, Shen Chen himself was kind to the people in the north. There was a great epidemic in the world. He sent doctors to search for doctors and medicines in the north to treat the affected people, just like Zhang Jiao traveled all over the world to give alms and save the people. People's hearts will eventually deviate.
After a while, this cavalry, still led by Xiliang people, rushed to the vicinity of the grain team, gradually began to slow down, and wrapped up towards Cao Jun.
The soldier scratched his head, took a few steps forward, and then lowered his head.
On the vast horizon in the east, some dark shadows appeared at some point.
Henan is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Hebei and Henan have been the ancestral residences of the Chinese ancestors since ancient times.
"Enemy attack!"
Hei San felt nothing when he was stopped. He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and push the cart. The general will be angry if it's too late."
The separated cavalrymen galloped all the way and quickly threw their torches towards the grain carts.
The sound was almost undetectable at first, and the howling wind and other natural sounds between heaven and earth covered up its existence.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
On the same day, Changshe.
The expressions of all the soldiers changed. The experienced Cao Jun immediately lay down on the ground and listened.
"Really."
To the east is the direction of Xudu, which is now abandoned and overgrown with weeds. It is late autumn, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow, swaying gently in the north wind.
Such as the collision when the carriage turns around, the horse's rope breaks, the wheel sinks into the pit, etc.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
Therefore, Yan Kuang recruited a large number of civilians to transport grain twice a year to collect grain and grass from the two places and send a total of about 1.5 million stones of grain to the front line. There were more than 10,000 Diannong troops who needed protection alone. The number of civilian escorts required to escort them was as many as 40,000 to 50,000.
"set fire!"
An overwhelming volley of arrows scattered Cao's army, and general Zhang Gan was killed directly.
The light cavalry split into two sides, like a tidal wave cut by a mainstay.
After Yan Kuang's large army left, there were only less than two thousand soldiers left.
Seriously shaken Cao Cao's rule.
Although the two great turmoils in the world caused Hebei and Henan to gradually wither away, as the Han Dynasty's three divisions gradually stabilized over the years, Sun, Cao, and Liu did not use weapons without authorization. They rested and recuperated for many years, and the population gradually prospered.
"Dong dong dong dong."
"I'm not a soldier, I'm just a Guizhou leader doing corvee service."
As a result, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, where the Han people lived, the Nanyang army attacked repeatedly, marching through the states and counties in a swaggering manner, and no one could stop it.
Since their location was closer to Changshe at that time, Yan Kuang's deputy general Zhang Gan suggested transporting the grain back to Changshe City first to ensure the safety of the grain.
Zhang Xiu was riding on horseback, his gray and white temples fluttering in the wind. He looked indifferently at the chaotic convoy, waved his hand and issued an order: "Set fire!"
Once Nanyang's army began its Northern Expedition, the so-called dignitaries in the DPRK and China wrote letters one after another asking for surrender.
The farmer was in pain and hurriedly climbed up from the ground and continued pushing the carriage forward.
The next second, a sharp whistle sounded.
However, the soldiers responsible for guarding the civilians were absent, leaving only two thousand soldiers. Although there were still some Diannong troops in Yingyin, Yingyang and other places responsible for the farming affairs in Yingchuan, they were too far away and could not be mobilized for the time being.
"No way, you are thinking too much."
At this moment, a very subtle and extremely rhythmic sound seemed to appear in the east.
Above the wilderness, there is a vast land.
Then, a stone moved on its own.
But after a while, a soldier suddenly pricked up his ears and said to the person next to him: "Heisan, listen, there seems to be a "dong-dong-dong" sound."
The soldiers took out a tube of fish paste hanging on the saddle, took out the fire sickle and the torch, poured the grease on the torch, and lit it into a torch.
Their figures moved very fast. In just a few breaths, more and more black shadows appeared, and dust and smoke billowed behind them.
"Walk!"
Zhang Xiu saw that the task was completed, waved his hand, turned his horse's head and left.
The light cavalry also turned their horses' heads to the south at the same time.
The flames behind him were raging into the sky, and the sea of fire stretched for more than ten miles. Even the surrounding counties could see the flames reaching into the sky more than ten miles away.
How similar is this moment to the moment when Shen Chen killed Ren Jun?
