Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 780 Decoy
"I have sent another person to reply to Ge Jun that he will not use gunpowder again, please rest assured." Zhou Cang sighed softly. "You can't stay here anymore. You immediately go to Jibei and take the craftsmen to Mengzhou. Take my letter to see Hanshu and tell him to build a base in the uninhabited desert and continue to develop gunpowder."

Liu Miao was startled, still want to develop?

"As Yunlu said, gunpowder will be developed sooner or later. Since I have taken the lead, I can't give it up. Whether I use it or not is another matter. I have a few ideas. One is that if gunpowder is used for mining and road digging, it is still very Okay, you can put some effort into this; the second is, if gunpowder is used as a booster, can the arrow shoot farther? You might as well use your brains more. If you need anything, just tell Hanshu, remember to One is to keep secret and the other is to be safe.”

Zhou Cang wished to tell Liu Miao everything he could think of, and Liu Miao's brain is also good, so write down what you don't understand.The two were muttering here, and Dianman was also communicating with Ma Yunlu: "It's okay, I thought it was useless..."

Guo Huai was defeated and went back to Qiao County. When he learned that Sima Yi had retreated to Feng County, he rushed to Feng County to report the defeat. Sima Yi was shocked again and again, and even lost Shouchun.Inquiring about the situation of the battle, Guo Huai couldn't tell why. Suddenly the sky collapsed, the earth cracked and the city wall collapsed. He also sent a secret agent to lurk back to Shouchun to investigate. The Han army said it was a natural disaster. It's about rushing.

"Back when Xu Huang attacked Shouchun by surprise, he was able to escape from the city under heavy security. Now something strange happened. Maybe there is something in Shouchun City that we don't know about." Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, perhaps there was only one explanation. "Later when Xu Huang was trapped, he gave up his troops and the city in order to escape. Perhaps they had made preparations in the city at that time, but we didn't realize it."

Guo Huai nodded frequently. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable Sima Yi said. Xu Huang couldn't easily give up Shouchun. There was only one possibility. Whitewash the exterior, or hollow out the ground, as long as the key mechanism is touched, the city wall will collapse.It is impossible for this situation to happen again in other cities, so there is nothing to be afraid of. In the future, we must do a good job of checking the cities occupied by the Han army.

"Huainan has been lost, and more than half of Qiaojun has been lost. What does the general think should be done?" Guo Huai was unwilling.

Sima Yi's heart is bleeding, it's not just the loss of Huainan and a few cities, if the city is lost, it can be regained, what about the loss of nearly 4 horses?Niu Jin lost 3, Lu Qian nearly [-], Guo Huai nearly [-], and he had only [-] left. How can we fight without soldiers?It's good to keep it.

"Prefect Lu, you go back to Qiao County immediately. All 15-year-old boys will be recruited for training." Sima Yi said to Lu Qian.

"This?" Lu Qian hesitated. All the young men who could be recruited have joined the army. Although there are still many left, Qiao County is almost owned by the Cao family. They are all Cao's servants and tenants. How can they be forced to join the army? ?

"Military affairs are urgent, and there is no room for personal thoughts. I will tell the emperor, you can do it, and anyone who disobeys will be taken down and sent to Luoyang immediately!" Sima Yi said harshly.

"I'll do it right away!" Lu Qian stomped his feet and said goodbye.

Sima Shi was silent for a while and said: "Zhou Cang is in Shouchun, Xiang County must be empty, why not take Xiang County again?"

Sima Zhao said hesitantly: "Brother, don't you see that the Han army has used my defense to deal with us, so it can be easily broken?"

Zhong Yu coughed lightly. "Zhou Cang went to Shouchun, and seizing the city was one of them. I was thinking, is he going to abandon me and continue to go to Jingzhou to threaten the emperor to break the siege of Jingzhou, or he has other plans. If he is going south, then we will You can seize Xiang County, if he lures me to send troops to attack Xiang County, if he goes north to Feng County, he will besiege me again."

Passive, passive, Sima Yi felt completely passive, and Zhou Cang's mind was too difficult to fathom.If you have 10 horses, why bother to figure it out.

Guo Huai nodded: "In my opinion, Zhou Cang will not go south. Jingnan Road is far away, so there will inevitably be many changes. Zhou Cang's map is only in Yuzhou, and I feel that Zhou Cang is not only for siege, he prefers Cannibalize my scattered ministries one by one and consume our army's strength."

"Boji's words are reasonable." Sima Yi agrees with Guo Huai's point of view. He also faintly realizes that Zhou Cang seems to be targeting him in many places, as if he has a grudge against him. "You wait to step up your defense and pay close attention to the movements of the Han army, and discuss it after Lu Qian's reinforcements arrive."

On August [-]th, Zhou Cang arrived in Xiangxian County.Zhuge Xu reported that the Wei army could not stand firm and did not take any action.Zhou Cang laughed and said, "Sima Yi is more suspicious than Cao Cao."

"Sima Yi doesn't move, why not attack Feng County while his morale is low?" Pei Feng asked for a fight.

"The war in Jingnan is imminent. I am worried that your father and Zhou Xin will be unable to defeat Cao Pi, so I ordered Xingba to go to Lujiang to help, and Wen Ze to defend Shouchun. Now that we are short of troops, it is not wise to attack Feng County. This is a great victory, Wei Ting Shocking, Qiao County is the ancestral land of the Cao and Xiahou clans, and they will not give it up easily, if Cao Ren goes south, Bo Yan and Gong Ming would choose Yanzhou." Zhou Cang said with a chuckle, he deliberately kept Feng and Qiao counties, and then Using himself as a bait, he transferred Cao Ren away from Dongjun.

"Then what if Cao Pi gave up the Southern Expedition and returned to aid?" Chen Qian asked.

"Cao Pi gave up Jingnan, and I intend to fight against him here!" This is Zhou Cang's ultimate goal. A decisive battle with Cao Pi may be the next step. He is more worried about his son Zhou Xin and wants to relieve his son.He didn't know that Duanmu Ling didn't understand his intention at all, and he was studying the situation in Jingnan along the way, seeking a way to break Cao.

And retaining the defense of Xiangxian County is also Zhou Cang's long-awaited plan. He is preparing to fight a protracted battle here.Look at his subordinates: Zhuge Xu, Chen Qian, Pei Feng, Dianman, Ma Yunlu, Zhou Cang feels a little less.

"Send people to Hedong immediately, transfer Deng Ai and the independent battalion to Xiangxian County." Zhoucang has 30 infantry, [-] light cavalry, [-] guards, and [-] brave independent battalions, which are enough to contend With an army of [-], Deng Ai can also make suggestions for himself, check for gaps and make up for gaps. "Order Li Cheng to mobilize granaries and store them in Pengcheng for the army's needs, then order the Military and Political Academy to mobilize [-] arrows, and order thousands of craftsmen to build catapults."

Zhou Cang wants to build Xiangxian County into an iron wall.He called Qin Ying, the chief minister, again: "You should immediately write to the Military and Political Council to conscript [-] troops in Liaodong and Xuzhou, and [-] in Jiangnan Road, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. Within a year, you will raise [-] soldiers and horses and equip them neatly in Qingzhou. Assemble, the Martial Arts Academy will send out manpower for training, and the Government Administration Council will mobilize food and grass to prepare for next year's battle!"

Pei Feng clicked his tongue, co-authoring Zhou Cang didn't pay attention to Feng County at all, but had a bigger plan, and Ma Yunlu rubbed his hands excitedly.
