Chapter 824
War is a man-made disaster.
And man-made disasters are often related to natural disasters mention on equal terms, even more frightening.
Once the war breaks out, it will hit the pond. Commoners are displaced, and all people are lost.
Tangyi is close to the battlefield. Although Cao Mengde’s soldiers are sharp, like a hot knife through butter, he did not turn the war into a protracted battle, and did not have a severe impact on the nearby cities and counties. But the horror of war is like a plague. I don't know how many commoners drag their homes and leave their homes to hide in tears.
Although Xun Yu has the talent of Wang Zuo, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Cao Mengde advanced too quickly, and it was difficult for him to keep up. Tang Yi now says that it is Cao Mengde's influence scope, but it has not really been brought under Cao Mengde's rule.
At least not within six months.
The officials appointed by Xuzhou originally had no idea where they fled. Most of the tycoons in Tangyi County have long since disappeared. At the same time, at least 20-30% of the commoners fled the city. The rest were under the auspices of the county elders and barely stabilized, and no riots occurred.
When Zhao Yu arrived at Tangyi with Five Hundred Qingqi, it was already early morning.
Zichou Yinmao, Yin time compared to modern time and space, it is two hours between 1/9/2022 3:00 and 5:00. Because it is early spring, dawn is also a while.
Looking at the head of the city from afar, some commoners organized patrols, and a few torches were shining.
Zhao Yu didn't bother, and ordered Wubai Qingqi to get off the horse and enter the forest to rest.
The weather is still very cold, and the soldiers wearing steel essence armor are shiver coldly. But to serve as a soldier, these things must be endured. Compared with the soldiers under the command of other vassals, under Cao Mengde's command, the treatment is undoubtedly the best. At least there will be no hungry time.
In the past two or three years, high-yield varieties have spread throughout Yanzhou. It is precisely because of the popularization and promotion of high-yield varieties that Cao Mengde's army does not lack food. It is also impossible that in the original history, Cheng Yu used human flesh as military rations.
To avoid exposing whereabouts, don’t light a fire. Zhao Yu looked at these soldiers with blue lips, and couldn't help thinking of cotton.
In this era, cotton has actually been introduced to Divine Continent. However, its real use has not been discovered, and it is mostly used as an ornamental plant and rooted in wealthy people. Moreover, the cotton of this era is not the cotton of later generations, and its output can't keep up at all.
People's clothing is generally hemp products. Only the rich and noble people wear silk fabrics.
The heat preservation performance of hemp products is not good.
When it's cold, wearing a dozen pieces of linen is not worth a piece of animal skin. Conditional commoners wear leather products in winter. Homemade.
So Zhao Yu thought of developing animal husbandry again.
From cotton to animal husbandry, at this moment, he took root in Zhao Yu's heart.
Cotton can make cotton clothing, and the growth of animal husbandry can not only provide a large amount of meat and dairy products, but also provide enough fur.
"Go back and talk to Meng Dehaosheng."
After this thought, Zhao Yu slowly sat cross-legged, closing his eyes slightly.
...
The dawn is faintly bright, and at the beginning of the Mao era, a group of remnants of defeat will be dejected and come from a distance.
Sun Ce sits straddling the horse, holding a long spear in one hand, and covering his chest with the other, his face pale.
He straightened himself up and shouted: "The front is Tangyi, there is a lot of food. When you arrive at Tangyi, you can have a full meal, so you can rest and rest!"
Paint cakes to satisfy your hunger and hope to quench your thirst.
Whether Tangyi has a large number of provisions, Sun Ce certainly doesn't know. But he must let the remaining 2,000 remnants know that they also hope that the road ahead is not dead.
The horse breathed heavily, spraying out a pale mist. Trampled on the ground in a mess, and quickly moved closer to Tang Yi.
Sun Ce showed regret on his face, and said to Zhou Yu, who was also tired, "I shouldn’t regret not listening to Gong Jin’s words, so that I ended up like this. If you withdraw your troops early, hey...I’m thirty thousand. The army, it’s just a battle and no..."
Zhou Yu pursed his lips, his handsome face was helpless, and said: "When things are up to now, why should Bo Fu sigh? Provisions, look to Jiujiang. I only hope that Cao Ren has not defeated Ji Ling, Liyang Water Village is also a warship, otherwise..."
There is a water army camp outside Liyang, and the water army led by Sun Ce before the war It is stationed in Liyang Shuizhai, facing Niuzhu across the river.
Last night, Sun Ce did not listen to Zhou Yu's plan to withdraw his troops and did not want to flee without a fight. He insisted on attacking Cao Jun's camp and was badly bruised by Cao Mengde. The 30,000 army was defeated in just one hour. Sun Ce was injured by Dian Wei, so he did not lose his life.
When he hurriedly retreated, he was intercepted by Xiahoudun, but he finally got out of the encirclement and ran into Xu Huang's part. He was chased all the way, until he reached the vicinity of Yuguo before he got rid of the chasing soldiers. After fleeing, to Tangyi, there were only less than 2,000 people left. A big defeat, a loss!
According to Zhou Yu's idea, he went straight to Jiujiang Liyang without delaying a minute or a second along the way. However, after the defeat, all the provisions were lost, and several nights were fought, the soldiers were exhausted, and they had to fetch food nearby to satisfy their hunger. Otherwise, they would all starve to death before Liyang.
Zhou Yu was afraid that Cao Jun would set up an ambush in Tangyi, but carefully calculated. According to the number of soldiers and horses of Cao Jun, Tangyi It shouldn't be an ambush. And Cao Jun could not pursue too far, because the tens of thousands of troops in Guangling City would not watch Cao Jun swallow Sun Ce in one bite.
Last night, he retreated at Cao Jun's camp, and Cao Mengde did not exhaust the pursuit of the army in the camp. That's why. He also had to guard against the soldiers and horses in Guangling City that might come out of the city, and more importantly, Cao Mengde wanted to block Guangling.
Only Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang will be chased by the tail, otherwise Sun Ce may have been bound.
Thinking about this, Zhou Yu feels a little relieved.
Tangyi is right in front of you.
Sun Ce put out a breath for a long time, and said bitterly: "Cao Jun is so elite, it makes me unpredictable. My 30,000 army is not a mob, but I can't beat him."
p>"Cao Jun's armor is excellent, and it is also helpless." The next member General comforted: "Bo Fu does not have to be discouraged. I think that when my husband was alive, there were great defeats. But my husband was unyielding. Swirl, I will be able to return in a swirl of dust soon."
"The general overturned said that." Sun Ce lifted his spirits: "With your help, return in a swirl of dust, and defeat Cao Junwei You know!"
"It’s a good thing for a major general to cheer up." Another General said: "I look at Cao's army. Excellent armor is one of them. All the soldiers are brave and powerful. It is also the key. You must understand the profundities in order to deal with it."
Hearing this, Sun Ce wrinkled frowned: "General Demou said it is right. Cao Jun’s armor is excellent and you can see it at a glance. But those soldiers, All of them have courage, far surpassing my troops and horses. It is really puzzling."
Zhou Yu was observing the environment outside the city, and suddenly expressed congeals and saw the roadside forest leading to the city gate. On the side, Yoyo actually has a daoist priest standing in it.
Can not help but shout: "Bo Fu!"
