Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Speaking carelessly to the crowd, a glint of gloom flashed in Peng Shi's eyes.

Afterwards, he did not forget to send a message to Shanyue Headquarters in Jing County:

The team is in danger, come quickly.The main force of the enemy is in our department, and Wanling will fight decisively.

……

In fact, when it comes to the situation in Danyang, he, Peng Shi, is actually the clearest.

Under the pressure of Shanyue for a long time, almost none of the previous Danyang prefects could serve their full term, and even many prefects sent by the Han court died on the way to take office before they could take office.

Today's prefect, because his hometown is a local gentry in Jiangdong, so there is no such thing as an injustice to die halfway, but his control over Danyang is also extremely weak.

Except for Wanling, the county government, almost all the county towns did not obey his command, and fought on their own under the high pressure brought by Shanyue.

No matter how capable he is, how many soldiers and horses can he raise with the small town of Wanling County?

Two thousand, or three thousand?

It's not that Peng Shi looked down on him... With just two or three thousand defenders, being able to defend Wanling from his 4 troops is simply a dream.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Xin is not stupid that day, she will definitely open the door for herself.

He couldn't bear the price of completely tearing his face off with Shan Yue.

As for Peng Shi, as long as he entered Wanling County smoothly, the rest would be easy.

The ancients said it well, with ten circles and one, there is a chance of winning.He has more than 4 troops guarding a small county, can it be broken by Lujiang, which has fewer numbers than him?

The soldiers in Lujiang were only able to fight, and they were not gods or ghosts. He felt that he was already cautious enough.

As for the food issue...

Indeed, there are only tens of thousands of people in Wanling County. If they want to store food to support his [-] troops, it may not be long before everyone will starve to death in Wanling City.

This is indeed a problem that has to be faced.

Therefore, after sending people to Wanling, Peng Shi did not forget to send news to several counties in the north of Danyang.

Important towns like Jiangning, Moling, Danyang, Hushu and even Jurong and Liyang are not big producers, but their population size is there after all.

Every county sent its surplus grain to Wanling. With the strength of the northern counties, he was still confident that he could compete with the Han army.

As for those county towns without food, how will they live this year...

Fuck him!

People from Lujiang have already beaten to their doorsteps, what difference does it make if you starve to death in a few months, or are now being manipulated and slaughtered to death after the city is broken?

To put it bluntly, Peng Shi is too clear about the virtues of the army in this era.

As long as it is a siege battle, as long as the city is broken, the people will suffer, and there is almost no possibility of survival.

This is not something that can be solved by the so-called leader's personal sentiment or will, but because...

people's needs.

demand, understand?

Sexual desire, desire to destroy and desire to kill, etc., these are the things that can best relieve the pressure on soldiers.

In this era, there are no fancy entertainment methods, or games, movies and other ways to relieve stress, and even the food is not very delicious.

After a soldier has fought a big battle, how can he relieve the pressure brought by death?

Isn't there only one option to slaughter the city?

……

It can be said that Peng Shi is very confident in this point, that is, the counties in Jiangbei will definitely hand over the food and grass to him honestly.

Otherwise, if I can't defend my front, it will be the guys who live in those county towns who will suffer.

As for opening the city gate and allowing more than 4 people like myself to settle in, will it destroy the lives of the people in Wanling...

Ha ha.

How can it be called destruction!

It was the people of Wanling who saw themselves guarding the land and the city, and were moved. They offered to offer all the money and treasures in their homes, and thanked Shanyue for his great sacrifice in the process of protecting them.

And those who offered their wives and daughters must be because these women were touched by the dedication of these warriors. What does it have to do with them if they want to take the initiative to dedicate themselves to this? !

……

In this way, after making a decision, the main force of Shanyue quickly turned towards Wanling, the county government of Danyang, and was bound to get rid of the pursuit of those Lujiang soldiers behind them as soon as possible.

And will those important towns in the north be unable to continue to resist the Lujiang attack because of the food, grass and soldiers they transferred away...

Peng Shi only wanted to say one thing, and that was impossible!Absolutely impossible!

Come on, after coming from Qiantang and passing through the counties, Peng Shi couldn't be more clear about the situation of the Han people.

Whether it is Kuaiji, Wujun or Danyang, the ratio of one hundred farmers to one soldier is almost the same, that is, about one hundred farmers support one soldier.

Although Peng Shi has never been to Lujiang, everyone is from Yangzhou. Who doesn't know who's background?

Except for Yuzhang County, the population of the remaining five counties fluctuated around 50 million, and none of them exceeded 50.

According to Peng Shi's estimation, the population of Lujiang may only be around 60 to [-], and it is far beyond his expectations to feed the current [-] troops.

There is no doubt that what I faced before was definitely the main force of Lujiang's attack, or even the entire force.

If he could raise another troop of the same size... why?

50 people support [-] troops. Does your army usually not eat food?

Because of the information blockade between Lujiang and Danyang, Peng Shi was actually unaware of the earth-shaking changes in the population of Lujiang in the past two years, let alone that the other party came out in full force this time, trying to borrow Taking this opportunity to completely settle down the Shanyue issue.

Therefore, based on what he knows, it is not surprising to make such a wrong judgment.

After all, playing with manure to fertilize the fields is a unique skill of the people in the Yellow River Basin, and it has not been fully popularized in the Yangtze River area, let alone spread to Shanyue's sphere of influence.

……

What I have to say is that one misjudgment after another on his side has actually affected his teammates...

For the first time, it was Shanyue's Poyang Marshal Peng Qi who killed him.

But this time, it was the Shanyue colleagues who were struggling in the Jiangbei area who were killed.

……

in the north……

After he gave the order to collect food...

Those county magistrates and aristocratic families who had originally wavered between the Han and Yue families looked at the army lingering outside the city, and at the "ultimatum" sent by Peng Shi, and quickly made their own judgments.

The northern front, which was still somewhat stalemate, collapsed and shattered directly starting from the city dedication action launched by a certain family, and there was no possibility of healing.

Chapter 19 Gather troops in one place, gather and destroy them

"Report-"

"Commander Yang, Danyang City is broken, and their local defenders have surrendered!"

……

The angle of view came to the battlefield on the northern front, which was different from the fierce battle on the middle line. After going to Danyang, the second soldier, Ma Si, led by Yang Feng, almost won consecutive battles and fought all the way to Jiangbei without encountering any decent resistance. Under the city of Danyang, an important town.

And this Danyang City is also the top three counties in the entire Danyang County in terms of population and resources.

Apart from Jing County in the south and Wanling, the governor's office in the middle of Danyang, Danyang City is the most prosperous city.

According to common sense, Yang Feng estimated that Danyang City should have resisted extremely fiercely...

Not only Danyang, but also places like Hushu, Moling, Jiangning, and Jurong that I conquered before. These are all important towns located on the banks of the Yangtze River. It's a lot harder to chew.

His road should have been the slowest one among the three routes Lujiang used to conquer Danyang Mountain.

It’s just that for some reason, since this month, Yang Feng suddenly discovered that the local people who were still resisting in the city suddenly seemed to have lost the idea of ​​​​resisting.

Every time his side attacked the city, the opponent shouted twice symbolically, and retreated from the city wall in unison, as if deliberately giving up the city to himself.

……

At the very beginning, Yang Feng wondered if there was fraud in this city.

After all, sometimes things go too smoothly, which makes people a little suspicious.

But when he found out that the local aristocratic family came to him as soon as he entered the city, and at the same time bundled up the bandits sent by Shanyue to these places into rice dumplings and sent them together, he let go of the pain in his heart. Confused, he generously accepted the gift from the local family.

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

Yang Feng just glanced at the other party's envoy, as well as those Shanyue wardens who were tightly bound and sent to his house, and he already understood everything.

……

"Hehe, I thought there was some kind of conspiracy. It turned out that civil strife broke out during the confrontation with the enemy. No wonder these local defenders seem to be working and not doing their best."

"In the final analysis, these defenders are people who rely on the family to support them. If the local family doesn't want to fight, it doesn't make sense for these Shanyue warlords to say more."

He secretly thought in his heart, although Yang Feng's own background is not considered to be a family, but the Yang family can be counted as a local tycoon in Hedong, and there have been many high-ranking officials in his ancestors.

It's just because Hedong County is too close to Henan Yin, so there are too many "Jingguaner" families in the area, which makes it seem that the Yang family has no right to speak.

In fact, Yang Feng himself is very clear about the passive and non-resistance mentality of these aristocratic families.

……

"Mr. Yang, if you think about it this way, it should have something to do with how we restrained our soldiers to behave in a disciplined manner when we broke down the city, and prevented them from indiscriminately killing and killing people, right?"

As for Xu Huang, he held a different point of view.

"In the final analysis, these people dared to surrender to us because they already knew that we would not indiscriminately kill people and plunder cities, otherwise we would never open the door to surrender the city."

"Like now, I just have a new person in charge on my head."

"Anyway, you have to listen to people's orders and act according to people's faces. Instead of bowing your knees to Yue people all day long, it's better to replace them with officials who are also big men like us. At least they look pleasing to the eye, don't they?"

……

Just like what Xu Huang said at the beginning, limited by Zhang Yan's orders, no matter which one of the three armies, before the initial departure, he has repeatedly emphasized that it is absolutely impossible to fight regardless of victory or defeat. Spread your grievances on the local people.

Perhaps in this era, this order has many, many unreasonable places, and even for the army, this is a silent weakening...
