I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 518, Cao Cao's Hell Copy
In the middle of May of the second year of Jian'an (AD 197)!

After the two armies of Yang Feng and Wang Yong converged, they began to concentrate the cavalry on both sides to cut off the connection between Luoyang City and the outside world.

In mid-May, after the governor of Xiliang, Zhang Baiqi, left 7 troops stationed in Guanzhong after rectifying affairs in Guanzhong, he personally led [-] Xiliang troops to cross Tongguan, attacking the city and killing Hongnong County along the way.The defenders of Hongnong County were beaten and retreated steadily, and they could not stop Zhang Baiqi from advancing.

At the beginning of June, the Xiliang army completely occupied the entire Hongnong County.

At the same time, the [-] army led by Xu Wei, with the support of the people of Hedong County, completely occupied the entire Hedong, and the powerful clans in Hedong were almost wiped out by the local people.

Faced with this situation, Xu Wei can only say that they have suffered on their own. The clans who are still in Hedong are the most stubborn clans. It is they who united with Yuan Tan to make the people of Hedong unable to survive, so the people of Hedong also Fight them to the death, I will drive them all to death.

With the joining of the people from Hedong, the army in Xu Wei's hands has also expanded to more than 10 people. Then he cut off the old and the weak, selected the elite and left 5 troops, and left [-] people stationed in Hedong County, and led [-] troops to cross the Yellow River. , and Zhang Baiqi joined forces, so far, a large army of [-] elites drove through Hangu Pass in a mighty way, and advanced along the valley water to Gucheng and Luoyang City.

In mid-June, Xu Wei, Zhang Baiqi, Wang Yong, and Yang Feng's four-way army of more than 20 troops divided into four directions and completely surrounded Luoyang City.

Faced with this situation, Yuan Xi, the captain of the Sili School of the Han Army, could only hide in Luoyang City and struggle to his death.

After completely encircling Luoyang City, Xu Wei set up his Chinese military tent in Shanglin Garden on the outskirts of Luoyang City.

The big tent of the army and the middle army!
More than half of the military generals gathered together, and the military battle this time was so smooth that many people couldn't believe it. In just two months, there was only one city of Luoyang left in Sili, which had a radius of thousands of miles.

Such a situation is not enough to describe the smoothness of this battle, most of the generals felt that Huang Tian was blessing them, which made their military operations so smooth.

Chief of Staff Wang Ge, Jia Xu who joined the army and others sorted out the battle situation of each battlefield in the shortest time, and explained the current battle situation to the generals in detail.

Wang Ge said: "From the information we have obtained, there are about [-] to [-] troops in Luoyang City, most of whom are elite veterans of Yuan Tan, and their combat effectiveness is completely different from the newly recruited soldiers from other places in Sili! The city has been reinforced by Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan for four or five years, and Luoyang is already the number one strong city of the great Han, even if we have a lot of artillery, it will be difficult to break through Luoyang City in a short time!"

It doesn’t even need to be mentioned by Wang Ge. Yang Feng and the others have been surrounding Luoyang City for several days. They were surprised to find that the furthest fortifications on the outskirts of Luoyang City were actually arranged three miles away. , Juma, Wengcheng, Arrow Tower, it can be said that there is a fortification in this world that can be found in Luoyang City.In their view, Luoyang City at this time is completely a hedgehog wearing a tortoise shell.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yuan Tan's army had no morale, Yang Feng and the others probably wouldn't be able to conquer Luoyang City within half a year.

Wang Ge continued: "Considering the powerful fortifications of Luoyang City, it will be difficult for us to conquer them for a while. In addition, our army has been fighting for two months. The soldiers have reached their limits no matter how hard they work or their energy. The army needs to hoard food, grass and ordnance. It will also take time. Therefore, the subordinates suggest that the whole army rest under Luoyang City for half a month before launching an attack on Luoyang City. During this time, we can launch a heart attack on Luoyang City. If Luoyang City can also be like Changan Zhang He Going down without a fight is the best outcome for me."

Zhang Baiqi shook his head and said, "It's almost impossible. After all, Yuan Xi is Yuan Tan's second younger brother. It's very difficult for him to surrender to us without any scruples like Zhang Yun!"

Xu Wei frowned and said: "We can't wait for too long. The drought and locust plagues broke out in Yanzhou at the same time, and judging from the current situation, the scale of the disaster is still expanding. If this war continues to be delayed, it will be very difficult for us. Concentrating on this disaster will be very detrimental to our follow-up disaster relief.”

Xu Wei also felt that this might be because God didn't want to see him occupying the big man so smoothly. Yanzhou had three years of drought in succession, and he only took a breath, but in the end a more serious disaster broke out again. Judging from the intelligence, the scale of this drought is unprecedented. It can be said that it is a disaster that has never happened in a century. Parts of Bingzhou, Jizhou and even Youzhou have suffered from drought, while the situation in other states and counties in the Central Plains is not good. Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou Drought broke out, and even Yangzhou was affected.The water level of the Huaihe River has dropped by half, and many places in Jiangnan water towns like Yangzhou have been hit by drought and have lost production and harvest.Even Xu Wei couldn't believe that the scale of the disaster was so large.

At this time, even Xu Wei admired Cao Cao a little bit in history. He chose Yanzhou as his territory. This start is hell.Ordinary people can maintain their territory in the face of such a disaster, which is already considered amazing.

But in history, Cao Cao not only maintained his own territory, but also did not stop attacking other territories in the year of disaster. Xu Wei barely knew from the "Biography of Cao Cao" that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou first in history, probably because he wanted to Zhan Yangzhan, but he failed. Lu Bu stole his hometown and fought with Lu Bu. After fighting with Lu Bu, he fought with Yuan Shu. After fighting with Yuan Shu, he fought with Lu Bu who fled to Xuzhou.

I really don't know how he did it. The disasters have never stopped, and his pace of war has not stopped. Just being able to do this is extremely powerful.

Watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and playing games, I don’t think it’s difficult for Cao Cao’s Southern Expedition to the Northern Expedition. Only after truly experiencing this era, can we understand why Cao Cao occupied the affluent Central Plains, and there was a shortage of food at every turn. He either robbed tombs or killed food officials to solve the problem.Only a hero in troubled times like Cao Cao can open up the situation in a hell dungeon like the Central Plains.

Now that Xu Wei has occupied Yanzhou, he will have to experience the second half of the Central Plains hell dungeon, and Xu Wei can't be as ruthless as Cao Cao. If it weren't for the smooth battle, and he also knew that he would not look back Arrow, otherwise Xu Wei would want to stop the war and go to rescue the disaster first. After all, Luoyang City can be conquered at any time, but the victims will really die if they starve to death.

The current Dahan is not overpopulated, but the population is extremely scarce. Xu Wei only occupies half of the Dahan and a desert, but there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and it is very difficult to develop a Liaodong area.

And this time after the news of Treasure Island came from Wodao, hundreds of thousands of people ran away from the Hebei territory to dig gold mines. Don't starve to death, millions of people can't stand their size.

Although Xu Wei has not yet occupied the entire world, he already regards the people in Cao Cao's territory and the people in Liu Bei's territory as his own people, and he feels heartache even if he starves to death.

In addition to the big Han, there are dozens of times the size of the big Han waiting for him to conquer, but if there is no population, how can these places be occupied and become the homeland of the Han people?
