The trade route to Jishui was directly cut off due to a war in late autumn.
The downstream states of Qi and Lu were still unclear about what had happened to the Wei State. When Shaheng coerced the Wei State monarchs and ministers to go south, his original plan was to continue stationing in Rongyi or Taoqiu, and then transfer to Mengzhu or Surabaya.
Obviously, the placement of the Wei people cannot be random. They must be far away from the center of the Wei Kingdom and be located in Xuecheng or Fucheng.
The commuter Baisha Yongfu also reported Fucheng's preparations in great detail. Judging from the current situation, Fucheng's grain reserves are sufficient. After the garrison left, a large number of sand ships were transporting autumn grains from the Huai River.
Grain production is still increasing this year. Handong also handed over more than 2 million shi in grain tax and retained local grain at more than 4 million shi.
In other words, the grain output of Handong has ensured that there is no need for continued aid this year. Even if disaster relief grains are needed, the shortage will not be large, and supporting local maintenance will not be a problem.
In addition to the addition of some positions in Huainan governance, the team left by Yun Zhenlu expanded to sixteen counties, and the new positions were all agents.
Those who take the Huaizhong City exam can clearly feel the characteristics of Huaizhong City.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are cheap.
Compared with the difficulty of living and traveling like Luo Jing, Huaizhong City's first priority is to protect a mouth, followed by housing. As for Jindu's long journey, the total equipment of carts and boats has reached 150,000.
Thousands of commuter boats sail on the inland river every day.
As for large trucks, they are usually produced and assembled and then quickly shipped to Chen Cai, Wu Yue, Zhou Chu and other places.
The cars produced in the Han Dynasty directly extended the single travel distance of small property owners to more than 150 miles.
All that is needed is a qualified mule, or a qualified horse, or at worst, two or three qualified and strong slaves who can pull the cart.
The reason why Sha Heng dared to act like a monster on Si and take action between Pu River and Jishui was because the rear could easily supply five thousand elite troops.
Normally, the equipment of each of the 5,000 mounted infantry he led cost ten times that of the Jin army.
The cost of arming one crocodile man can arm ten Jin troops, and this does not include special military rations.
Even the simple military rations are tightly packed fried noodles. There are diced meat in the fried noodles and the oil content is very high. As long as the energy can keep up in the autumn and winter battles, the marching distance of the crocodile people is more than three times that of the elites of ordinary vassal states.
The real trouble lies in livestock feed. Horses cannot fight just by eating grass, so a lot of transportation capacity is wasted on transporting livestock feed.
Although the human and livestock breeding center grinds and prepares some concentrates, it only reduces the amount of beans carried, and the total quality of feed does not decrease much.
However, due to the scope of the battle and the targets of the battle, Shaheng's attack was relatively conservative and could still extend to a range of three to four hundred miles or even more than five hundred miles.
With the results of this raid on Weiguo, Sha Hen calculated the supplies at the rear. He should be able to change a batch of equipment, then take a rest, and then take Baisha Yongfu with him to raid the Puyang area again.
His battle plan was to force Weiguo to be unable to rest and recuperate in the winter, and then not be able to enter the Henan region in the coming year.
For the area north of Puyang, winter is pure consumption and the output is very scarce. In the Han Dynasty, there are often some projects and a certain output at the same time. Even if it is not large, it is similar to lotus roots and dry goods.
Processing is all done in winter.
Coupled with the catches brought by clearing ponds in winter, the total amount is still considerable.
The salted meat, salted fish, and salted chicken produced throughout the winter are important components of the meat diet throughout the coming year.
The reason why we choose to make things like sausages and bacon in winter is simply because we don’t want the animals to survive the winter. In the season when there is no labor output, most of the animals are competing with people for food.
Killing livestock, like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, can not only produce meat but also ensure food rations.
When Sha Hen led the large army south, he had already begun to imagine that Fucheng's bacon would be stewed, sprinkled with some dried shiitake mushrooms, and some taro powder. It would be beautiful this winter.
However, what Sha Hen didn't expect at all was that the Wei people seemed to be ruthless, or in other words, the Wei people were frightened a little too much, so... someone dug up the embankment of the Nanhe River.
"Linyanyi, Caoyi, Liyi, Nanyan..."
The panting knight took a sip of water and then continued to report to Sha Heng, "The river embankment burst. I met the Wei people fleeing southward in the direction of Jijin, and then I learned that heavy rains had fallen from Jisui, which had triggered autumn floods. The river water surged, and the embankment burst. In the short term, it is impossible to block it."
"Dig a river embankment?!"
Sha Hen was completely stunned, his eyes widened, "Is this really what Wei Ren did?"
"Seriously! There are a large number of defeated troops in the direction of Jijin. It should be that the guards are fighting in Hebei. Captain, what should we do?"
The scout asked this because he felt that this was an excellent opportunity. If Henan was displaced, he could plunder the major cities of the Wei Kingdom. This opportunity was similar to when they attacked the Song Dynasty.
Fighting and destroying all the way, the current situation is almost a replica.
Moreover, in the Qupu area, it is not that there are no small countries living in the cracks.
For example, the State of Xu, such as Nan Yan, such as the declining State of Cao, such an opportunity is when it is legitimate to annex small countries.
However, Sha Hen turned around in his mind and immediately rejected this idea.
Today is different from the past, when their slogan was "Great Righteousness", so the new army was called Yishi and the servant army was called Yicong.
That's not the case now. There is no boss above the boss.
Originally, there was still Wu Wang Gouchen in name, but now the boss is the only one. There is no boss above his head, and the Emperor cannot be seen or touched.
"Shajiu!"
"have!"
"I order your troops to recruit refugees along the river, cross Qupu, and go to Jishui. No matter Pingqiu, Wufu, or Rongjiao, they can be temporarily requisitioned. Rong and Song garrison are unwilling to give up their cities, so they will be killed in formation!"
"yes!"
"Take a few Weiguo officials and tell them that if they meet the victims, they can go to Han to receive asylum if they want to survive the winter!"
"yes!"
He pulled out a squadron of men and horses, one man and two horses, and headed straight to the north.
Sha Hen has followed Li Jie for many years, so he naturally knows what the foundation of the Han Dynasty is. It is not terrible to die as many nobles as possible, as long as the knowledge of the nobles can be passed down.
But the total population cannot decrease sharply. The only way Han State can sustain itself is the crazy increase in the total population.
The Yihu people, the Huaiyi people, the Wu people, the Yue people, and the Chu people all came together and worshiped the same emperor, Emperor Gouchen. When they went to the Huai River, they recognized the Han goddess of the Huai River. What else is there to say?
Our ancestors are all the same anyway.
At this time, Sha Heng once again sent out three groups of scouts, one to Zhu Lou Yi, one to Xuecheng, and one to Danshui and headed straight to Shangqiu.
The battle of annihilation of Emperor Qiu was fought well, but to clean up the mess, this population cannot handle it.
Experts are people like Wei Ziyu and Xu Fei.
In less than a day, after the scouts killed a horse, they finally arrived near Wuyi in the early morning.
Then the Song people from Wuyi escorted the scouts to Shangqiu City.
The Song people in Wuyi were actually the Meng clan. The Meng clan had to leave Mengyi because they were manipulated by Dai Ju. Most of the elites in the clan moved to Wuyi.
It can be regarded as a mistake that led to today's fate.
After the scout saw Wei Ziyu, he immediately reported the situation in Qu Pu. When he learned that the river had been dug up, Wei Ziyu immediately predicted that the Weiguo area in Henan would be miserable this year.
It is unimaginable to encounter a major disaster in winter.
Heating has become a high-cost matter. The great flood in the Huai River that year brought the Wu-Jin Alliance to a state of ecstasy, and the sequelae are still quite serious to this day.
After reading the secret message from Sha Hen sent by the scouts, Wei Ziyu made a prompt decision and mobilized a team of chariots and horses totaling 25,000 to pass through Daiyi and Kuiqiu and go straight to the outskirts of Jishui.
One day later, after Sha Heng confirmed that Wei Ziyu had sent reinforcements, he immediately dispatched two more squadrons to go north to guide the guards to find a suitable route south.
He held high the flag of the Han Dynasty, the sun, moon and stars, and made an oath of alliance with the anxious and anxious guards in Henan.
The Han army promised to give the guards a way to survive as much as possible.
Originally, no one would believe what the red mouthed and white teeth said, but the Han army captured a large number of Weiguo officials. These Weiguo officials spoke for the Han army one after another in order to achieve meritorious service. As a result, many of the people in the feudal towns of the officials gritted their teeth.
I chose to believe in the flag of the sun, moon and stars erected in negative summer.
In addition, the troops sent out by Sha Hen swore an oath on the Emperor, saying that this was the oath of Han Bo, "a promise of a thousand armies", and the number of believers increased greatly.
Fuxia is located in the south of Chanyuan, so after the disaster relief work of the Han Dynasty spread, the people of Jishui called it the "Alliance of Chanyuan".
