The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 437 Complete collapse
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest, and Cao Wei's economy shattered like that beautiful bubble in an instant.

This is a chain reaction. The collapse of the economy has caused riots among the people, and the riots among the people have caused turmoil in various places, and the turmoil in various places has led to some people who are dissatisfied with Cao Wei to raise the banner of righteousness and rise up.

For a while, the battle reports flew to Xudu like snowflakes, but these were not important. The important thing was that Dongfang Sheng, who had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, quietly sent troops, and had already conquered several counties one after another.

This time, Dongfang Sheng only had one team, with a total force of only [-], but the offensive was extremely ferocious.

Cao Pi can be considered a character, he was not intimidated by Dongfang Sheng's offensive, and of course he was not dragged down by various riots and turmoil in the country.

It's just that Cao Pi suddenly encountered a problem when mobilizing the army, the treasury was empty!

To be precise, the national treasury is full of small five baht coins, but the current price of small five baht coins has fallen to the bottom, which is less than one-tenth of the price when it was first issued.

If you take out such coins, no one dares to ask for them, and the price of five baht coins is still falling, to the point where no one will pick them up even if they are thrown on the street.

And what is needed most in war: food and grass!

It takes money to prepare food and grass, but Cao Pi now has a lot of worthless money on hand.

Want to cry but have no tears, this is Cao Pi's current state.

Dongfang Sheng rushed into Jizhou with the mentality of taking advantage of your illness to kill you. It did achieve good results at the beginning, and Dongfang Sheng did not disperse his troops, and directly aimed to attack Huanglong.

What Dongfang Sheng thought about was Zhu Di’s way of seizing the throne from his nephew. Back then, Zhu Di set up an army to serve as king, and his troops were far weaker than Zhu Yunqi’s. won the final victory.

This is a more risky way of playing, but also a relatively simple way of playing.

However, Dongfang Sheng still intends to do this, because this is the fastest way.

This time, Dongfang Sheng didn't bring too many generals with him. He was still followed by the Suwei camp, and there were also some elites drawn from various places.

The rest of the fierce generals such as Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun did not participate in the war against Cao Pi this time.

Some people in the Chinese Empire were not optimistic about Dongfang Sheng's move.

However, a month later, Dongfang Sheng was attacked by several Wei troops. At the same time, a steady stream of Wei troops surrounded them, and they seemed to want to form an encirclement circle.

But Dongfang Sheng is not in a hurry, his advancement doesn't care how many cities he captures, but is fighting a guerrilla war with the Wei army.

Dongfang Sheng was quite curious about how Cao Pi would solve the food and grass problem. Through Xu Du's insider, Dongfang Sheng learned some clues. In exchange for the distribution of military rations and military pay.

At this time, the salt and iron were all run by the government, but even the government could distribute the benefits to others. Originally, the benefits of the government were basically in the hands of a few families, and these families were all designated by Cao Pi. However, this time, in order for Cao Pi to raise military pay and food, it is estimated that many of Cao Wei's noble families will get a share.

The profit of the official business is immeasurable, and it is estimated that Cao Pi is also very heartbroken this time.

But compared to Dongfang Sheng who broke the city because the army could not be dispatched, these are insignificant. As long as he can still sit on the throne, he will never be short of money. Of course Cao Pi can count on this account.

The Eight Tiger Cavalry dispatched again. Dongfang Sheng's [-] soldiers and horses seemed to be a lot, but it was obviously not enough on Cao Wei's territory.

The Eight Tiger Riders headed by Xiahoudun set up the next "big net" and waited for Dongfang Sheng to get in and then directly closed the net. For this reason, Xiahoudun and the others should let Dongfang Sheng enter their encirclement several times, but Dongfang Sheng just took them every time. Qingqi tried to test, and if he found something wrong, he would run away immediately, which made Xiahoudun and the others completely helpless.

In the end, Xiahou Dun and the others gave up this idea and directly formed a line of defense to prevent Dongfang Sheng from advancing.

This move can be said to hit Dongfang Sheng's heart, because if Dongfang Sheng wants to go straight to Xudu, he must break through Xiahoudun's defense line. When Dongfang Sheng broke through the defense line, he surrounded Dongfang Sheng.

For this situation, Dongfang Sheng could only adopt a dispersal strategy. He asked the generals in the guard camp to take their own soldiers to break through in different directions, and then gather at the predetermined location after breaking through.

Xiahoudun and the others seemed to have expected that Dongfang Sheng would have this move, and they would be frantically blocked at every breakout point, and once the breakout was unsuccessful, a large number of reinforcements would come immediately.

So after Dongfang Sheng's plan was implemented, only three teams including Dongfang Sheng broke out of Xiahoudun's encirclement, and the rest ended in failure.

As soon as Dongfang Sheng broke out of the encirclement, he rushed towards Xudu. Of course, Xiahou Dun and the others would not be thrown off so easily.

On the one hand, Xiahoudun left some people to continue to defend the line of defense to prevent those who did not break out from the encirclement, and on the other hand, he led his own troops to personally pursue the three teams that broke through.

Moreover, when Xiahoudun received the order, he had set up three lines of defense around Xudu, and even if Dongfang Sheng broke through these three lines of defense, there was still a powerful internal guard waiting for Dongfang Sheng in Xudu City.

Dongfang Sheng knew that he had oversimplified the enemy when he rushed out of the encirclement. Judging from Xiahou Dun's defense and strategy, Xiahou Dun seemed to have known his intentions.

Although he was still rushed out by himself, Dongfang Sheng felt that he would encounter more intense obstacles ahead.

But the more difficult the more exciting, how could Dongfang Sheng give up easily?
In Cao Wei's territory, a team wearing Cao Wei's military uniform roared past, with the sound of horseshoes.

The leader is Dongfang Sheng who broke through Xiahoudun's defense line a few days ago. He went deep behind the enemy and pretended to be an enemy army. time and energy.

At this time, Dongfang Sheng had already begun to enter Xiahou Dun's first line of defense outside Xudu. Dongfang Sheng glanced at it from a distance and then took a deep breath. The densely packed banners and tents, the number of people on the first line of defense alone It's already quite impressive.

It is not easy to deceive this group of regular troops.

Dongfang Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Come on!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded quickly, and the Wei army on the first line of defense was immediately attracted. Someone immediately ordered the horned deer to be moved up to block the front of the camp. At the same time, the archers and shieldmen were already in their positions.

"Urgent report! Urgent report! Urgent report ahead!"

Dongfang Sheng took the lead and shouted loudly, his face was smeared with some charcoal black, and he was unrecognizable at all. He was wearing Wei Jun's clothing, but it was also so worn out that it was impossible to tell whether it was true or not.

"Who is coming, get off your horse and report!" Wei Jun, who was at the front, saw Dongfang Sheng's appearance and shouted with some doubts.

Before he could react, the blood in Dongfang Sheng's hand pierced directly into his heart.

Now that they were all faceless, Wei Jun immediately let go of his hands and feet and started to fight back.

So the two groups of people wearing exactly the same military uniforms began to fight each other.
