The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359
Time flies, another year has passed.

Go to winter at the beginning, after the Spring Festival.The coldness gradually dissipated, and everything presented a thriving scene.

In the south of Yangzhou, there are Kuaiji County and Yuzhang County. Although the two counties are under the command of the Han Dynasty, there are many people who hide in the mountains and forests, gather together as Shanyue, and fight against each other against the control of the imperial court.

Although the government has sent people to encircle and suppress Shanyue, but Shanyue has become a climate, and the power of the government is helpless. They can only let them be in the mountains and forests, and they will be autonomous.

On this day, in the southwest of Yuzhang County, in a dense jungle.

This huge Shanyue force is gathered here, with hundreds of thousands of entrances.Shanyue is not a whole, there are also large and small categories, and there is no single-minded management, and this share of Shanyue, even among the Shanyue, is also a big force.

It can be imagined that in a state, there are only a few million entrances, even this Shanyue, even the Shanyue with millions hidden, I am afraid that no one can bear it.

On this day, the sky was still cold, and even though spring was gradually coming, it was still possible to feel the slightest chill.

In the mountains and forests, there is an agglomeration area similar to a village hidden.Among the many dilapidated buildings, there is a building that looks quite different.

"Boss, last year's autumn harvest was unfavorable, and now there is not much grain in the warehouse." In the main hall, a majestic man sat high on it with a serious face. In front of him, someone reported.

The man known as the leader sank slightly, and asked again: "How long can the current grain be weighed, and can it last until the summer harvest?"

Another person quickly waved his hand and said, "This food can only last until April at most, and I'm afraid it will be exhausted, and this is still under the premise of being extremely frugal."

The leader closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said: "Then send someone to ask the government for a loan, they have surplus food in their treasury."

The person in front of him was slightly startled, then he said in amazement: "What if the government doesn't borrow it?"

"If there is no food, I don't know how many people will starve to death because of it. If the government doesn't borrow it... then we will go get it!" The leader said this, and immediately became much colder, and there was a cold light in his eyes .

……

The time has come to April, the world is rejuvenated, and the weather is peaceful.

Coming from the south on a fast horse, he headed for Shouchun City in Jiujiang County.The rider on horseback was a soldier, who seemed quite nervous, probably because of an urgent military report.

After running for several days, I finally felt the city of Shouchun.The city guards led him to meet Chen Ran.

The soldier brought an urgent report, and when he saw Chen Ran, he finally felt relieved, and shouted: "I have seen the envoy, Yuzhang urgently reported that the mountains are invading, and the situation is critical."

Chen Ran frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to underestimate him. The soldier looked like this, and the situation might not be optimistic. He took the battle report and opened it to check.

Chen Ran glanced over, and his face became more and more ugly. He didn't expect that these Shanyue would have such courage to openly invade the city of Seoul.

The above outlines the current situation.

The matter has to start from last year, because of successive years of rain, the autumn harvest was hindered, and the grain harvest in Shanyue was insufficient, and the grain reserves were not enough to support the summer harvest.

Then these Shanyue went to the local government to borrow food like big bosses.It is naturally impossible for the government to agree to borrow food casually like this.

Instead, the prefect of Yuzhang made a request. If these Shanyue agreed, they would naturally be able to borrow food.That is, the mountain goes down the mountain and obeys the management of the government, just like the Han people.They are also Han people, so it is impossible for the government to sit idly by when the mountain is more disaster-stricken.

However, Shanyue was not happy with such a request. They were forced into the mountains to avoid the court's jurisdiction. How could they agree?

Then, another month passed, and the food crisis in Sangoe became more urgent.Ever since, these Shanyue attacked openly and attacked the city.

The local city was not prepared enough, and was beaten and forced by the sudden attack.Several counties were breached, and all the food, grass and other supplies, as well as the entrances, were looted.

This is the act of robbers!
There is a saying, which is tolerable or unbearable.Chen Ran said that such behavior is really too brazen.

This matter was originally because Shanyue wanted to borrow food from the local government, but the loan failed, so he sent people to rob him directly. He was as shameless as he could be.

But this also gave Chen Ran a chance, the chance Chen Ran was waiting for.

Shanyue is entrenched in the south of Yangzhou. Kuaiji County and Yuzhang County occupy more than half of Yangzhou's territory. Most of it is mountainous, and most of it is occupied by Shanyue.

It can be said that these mountain peaks are the boulders pressing on Chen Ran's head. If one is not careful, this stone will fall down and seriously injure Chen Ran.

It can be said that if Chen Ran wants to seek foreign affairs, he must first solve the internal troubles.It is not entirely unreasonable to fight against the outside world first.It's just that internal troubles must be resolved before external troubles are resolved.

If there is a foreign aggression first, it is another matter.

Therefore, Chen Ran really wanted to solve this trouble.He didn't act rashly either, because his strength might not be enough.

There are tens of millions of people entrenched in the south of Shanyue. Although these people have not received formal training, their combat power cannot be underestimated.

The most important thing is that the south is mostly mountains and hills, which is their home field, if Chen Ran sends troops easily, it will definitely not get any benefits.

Before Shanyue and the government were in a balanced situation, Chen Ran didn't have any good reason to send troops to fight for a while.Now that Shanyue attacked the city first, it was equivalent to declaring war on the imperial court. If Chen Ran sent troops, it would be justifiable.

The most important thing is that the training of the army that Chen Ran recruited before has already achieved initial results. If one wants to train an iron-blooded army, the only way to see it is on the battlefield.

Only through the tempering of blood can it be regarded as a real army.

Naturally, needless to say, Chen Ran has already made up his mind to deal with the Shanyue forces entrenched in the south of Yangzhou.Such a large force really makes people sleepless!

At the same time, these Shanyue forces also represent a large amount of labor force.Chen Ran's ability to subdue them can also provide a huge impetus for the development of Yangzhou.

After several months of hard work, the Ordnance Department has already achieved initial results, and the speed of making armor has been greatly improved. With sufficient iron ore, speed and quality coexist.

The bright light armor accumulated over the past few months has already completed the equipment for the soldiers of the Five Thousand Killing God Army.

It was in the first two months that Chen Ran transferred more than a thousand people from the army trained by Huang Zhong to add to the Killing God Army, and now the Killing God Army has [-] people.

Although the manufacturing speed of the Naval Ship Division is not fast enough, the results Chen Ran has seen are gratifying. There are already several treasure ships standing on the Huai River with a strong momentum.
