Before I knew it, it was already six hundred chapters.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Night, deep.

The wind blowing from the upper reaches of Yushui dissipates the midsummer heat.

For the people of Wancheng, this was a sleepless night. After nightfall, the cry of killing came from the direction of the city gate, resounding throughout the world. Although it did not last for long, it was enough to drive away people's sleepiness. Immediately afterwards,

The sound of iron hoofbeats could be heard on the long street, which was frightening.

The nefarious person wanted to open a crack in the door and check what was going on outside, but was immediately stopped by his family.

"Stop being nosy and stay at home."

For those old Wancheng people who have lived here for generations, after experiencing the siege of millions of Yellow Turbans, everything is just a cloud! After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, until the first year of Jian'an, for more than ten years, although Nanyang County

There were no large-scale wars, but there were more small wars. First, the bandits were suppressed and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were wiped out; then the princes fought, you fight, I fight... Later, Liu Biao took control of Jingzhou and stabilized Nanyang County.

It took a while. But not long after, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew came to Nanyang, and there was another conflict. When Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew stabilized their footing, Cao Cao led his troops to come and beat him three times, each time with extremely cruelty.

The people of Wancheng finally saw the clues.

If bandits and bandits attack, it's best to run away as a family.

Because these bandits and bandits have no rules, they burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil.

But if the princes are fighting, as long as the battle is not too brutal, there will basically be no large-scale turmoil after Wancheng is defeated.

These princes are all people who want face.

When they occupy a place, they must first appease the people.

I recall that when Xiahou Dun was stationed in Wancheng, he made repeated orders and orders to rectify military discipline.

After Liu Bei occupied Wancheng, he even ordered Qu Qiu not to offend, and even exempted him from taxes for a year.

The people of Wancheng were well aware of the confrontation between Cao Peng and Liu Bei. Whether Wancheng's surname was Cao or Liu actually didn't matter much to them.

The most important thing is who can bring them benefits.

As long as they don't cause trouble, those sergeants will probably not harass them.

After a moment of chaos, Wancheng returned to calm. The surrendered soldiers were escorted to the school field for custody in an orderly manner. Cao Peng did not carry out a large-scale massacre of these surrendered soldiers. Instead, he sent food after entering the school field.

, let them cook by themselves. In this way, the surrendered soldiers will naturally not resist fiercely, and Wancheng was easily captured by Cao Peng.

Looking back, Cao Peng secretly thought it was a fluke.

The entire Wancheng garrison was less than two thousand, and when Cao Peng attacked, most of the soldiers were resting and did not take any precautions at all.

Mi Fang, the guard of Wancheng, was not a strong-willed person.

Cao Peng couldn't say he liked him, but he couldn't be said to dislike him. Mi Fang had too many petty thoughts and paid too much attention to personal gains and losses. In history, this man and Fu Shiren refused to save him because of their own selfish interests, which led to Guan Yu's defeat.

Zuomaicheng was killed. Then, fearing that he would be held accountable, he surrendered to Sun Wu. The more selfish he was, the more he was afraid of death. If Wancheng had been guarded by another person, or Xiang Chong was older and had sufficient qualifications

, I am afraid that if Cao Peng wants to make a sneak attack again, the difficulty will increase. Thanks to Liu Bei, Mi Fang was stationed in Wancheng.

Mi Fang ordered the soldiers of Wancheng to stop resisting, allowing Cao Peng to capture Wancheng without any loss of blood.

However, the problem that followed caused Cao Peng to face difficulties again...

How should we deal with this Wancheng?

Cao Peng's sneak attack was carried out lightly, with only 800 soldiers under his command!

Sneak attack, enough!

It can be said that it is too difficult to capture Wancheng.

Not to mention that the number of soldiers surrendered in the city was more than twice that of our own. It was dark today, and Wancheng's soldiers had not noticed it yet. If Cao Peng was found to be short of troops after dawn, there would definitely be a massacre. Although Cao Peng was sure,

He controlled the situation in Wancheng, but he did not have the confidence to withstand Liu Beijun's counterattack. Now he was alone and had no reinforcements. How easy was it to capture Wancheng?

But it would be a pity for Cao Peng if he just gave up.

After finally capturing Wancheng, it was returned to Liu Bei for free, but it was not what he wanted.

Sitting in the lobby of the Wancheng government office, Cao Peng held his chin in one hand and thought about the countermeasures...

"Sir, this Wancheng is really rich."

Chen Shi rushed over excitedly and reported to Cao Peng.

After Cao Peng's ancestral home was built, he left Zhongyang Town and came to Wuyin with Cao Peng. Cao Peng discovered that his former friend was not a simple person. His martial arts skills were very good, almost as high as those of first-class masters.

, at the peak of the second-rate. However, Chen Shi is not young anymore, two years older than Cao Peng. Now it is absolutely impossible to break through... Although he cannot become a truly first-rate general, under Cao Peng

Among the current episodes, he is considered eye-catching. At least, he can take on some important responsibilities.

Jiang Jiu stayed in Wuyin, while Pang De went to Huyang to support.

Cao Peng naturally promoted Chen Shi and asked him to temporarily lead the flying camel soldiers.

"How to say?"

Cao Peng was thought of, but he didn't show any displeasure.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "I just found thirty bundles of grain and grass in the West Campus.

According to the people guarding the granary, Liu Bei transported it from Xinye some time ago to be used as military pay. My dear, thirty-year-old, it looks really scary."

"How many?"

"Thirty years."

Cao Peng stood up immediately and said, "Take me over quickly to take a look."

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei had hoarded so much grain and grass in Wancheng County. One batch was three thousand stones, and thirty batches was nearly one hundred thousand dendrobium. One batch was one hundred and twenty kilograms, and these thirty batches of grain were almost

Ten million catties. What is the use of Liu Bei hoarding so much grain and grass?

The answer is about to come out!

Liu Bei had already made a plan to fight to the death with him.

Thirty years, presumably all Liu Bei has. He has been in Xinye for so many years, and he will have some wealth to some extent. Now he has moved all these wealth to Wancheng. Isn't the purpose very obvious? Although Cao Peng doesn't know Xinye

How much food is left now, but I can vaguely feel that Liu Bei's family wealth is no longer too much... These food and grass must not be left to the big-eared thief again...

Thinking of this, Cao Peng suddenly had a plan in mind.

"Zifan, immediately send someone to inform the people in the city that one person from each family should come to collect food.

Regardless of the size of the population, each family will receive five measures of grain, which must be distributed before the Chou hour. Gather the remaining grain and grass and burn it all for me. Before the Yin hour, the entire army must withdraw from Wancheng, and must cross the border before the Mao hour.

Crossing Yushui and entering Nanshan, there must be no mistake."

"ah?"

Chen Shi was startled when he heard this.

"Evacuate Wancheng?

Youxue, we just occupied Wancheng..."

This is the biggest difference between Chen Shi and Pound.

If it were Pang De or Jiang Ji, after Cao Peng issued the order, they would have executed it as soon as possible without raising any questions.

And Chen Shi changed from a mountain man to a soldier.

At his core, he is still an ordinary citizen and has no ambition to become a soldier.

Cao Peng's eyes widened, and Chen Shi immediately closed his mouth.

He feels distressed!

But there is nothing you can do.

According to the household registration in Wancheng County, there are 17,000 households. However, there are only more than 6,000 households actually living in Wancheng County. There are still three hours, or six hours, before Chou time. In terms of time,

, more than enough. There are more than 6,000 households, each with five buckets, which is only one million catties of grain. In other words, Cao Peng's fire will burn at least nine million catties of grain... This is for a man who had to live for food and clothing half a year ago.

As for Chen Shi, who worked hard, how could he not feel distressed? However, there was no way he could do it despite the heavy military orders.

Governor Cao wants to share the food?

Soldiers beat gongs and announced along the streets.

Many people were stunned when they heard the news!

Since ancient times, we have only heard that the government took food from the people, but now it is actually distributing food. It is indeed strange.

Many people didn't believe it at first and were worried that it was Cao Peng's trick to recruit troops.

After all, someone who can carry sixty kilograms of grain must have a lot of strength. You can't let an old man who can't even walk run to collect grain. Many people have doubts in their hearts, but after all, there are

The brave one could not resist the temptation, opened the door of his house, and ran to the granary. After a while, he saw these people coming back with a bag of grain, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Do you really want to send food?"

"Then there's still a lie!

Those who had already received the food said excitedly: "There are costumes being put on over at the school grounds. Hurry and go there. The distribution will stop after the ugly time."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly became excited.

So, I saw the doors of houses opening one after another, and people pushing carts or leading mules and horses towards the school grounds. The granary grounds were brightly lit. Chen Shi commanded the soldiers and distributed bags of grain. Look.

Seeing the bright smiles on the faces of the people, Cao Peng suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart...

Yuliangji, Liu Beijun camp.

Zhao Rong opened a pair of hazy drunken eyes and said with an unhappy expression: "When will you disturb people's dreams?"

At dinner, he and Buqu drank so much that even though they slept for a long time, they still felt a little groggy and unclear. Yuliangji is located thirty miles west of Wancheng and is responsible for the surrounding security. Zhao Rong heard this yesterday

When a war broke out in Nanjiuju, he immediately gathered troops and horses. However, he was not going to rescue Nanjiuju, but was on strict guard near Yuliangji. Nanjiuju was fighting over there, and it was not his turn to fight with Zhao.

Let Rong take care of it. As long as he guards Yuliangji and ensures that the camp is safe, he will have completed his mission.

Zhao Rong knew very well how many kilograms he had.

The conflict between Liu Bei and Cao Cao is really not something he can participate in...

The soldiers woke up Zhao Rong and said in a panic: "General, something bad has happened. Wancheng is on fire."

"If it's a fire, it's a fire. It doesn't matter to me... Ah, you just said, where is the fire?"

"Wancheng, Wancheng is on fire."

When Zhao Rong heard this, he was so excited that he shuddered.

He quickly put on his clothes and got up, rushed out of the Chinese army tent, set up a pavilion with his hands, raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

But in the direction of Wancheng, there were flames soaring into the sky.

The fire was so fierce that it turned half of the night sky red... The Wancheng Fire was indeed the Wancheng Fire!

Although Zhao Rong didn't know what happened in Wancheng, he did know that Wancheng had accumulated thirty tons of military rations. Could such a big fire be...

He didn't have time to think too much and shouted loudly: "Come here, please order your troops and horses immediately and follow me to put out the fire!"
