Chapter 1281

The next day, Cao Jun attacked Anyang City again, but returned in vain, leaving only more than 2000 bodies.

Anyang City stands still.

Yecheng, Tian Yu and murongping have reorganized and selected soldiers.

According to Bai Xiaowen's requirement of "halving the selection of soldiers", only 60000 soldiers were selected and set off for Anyang one after another.

The remaining 60000 soldiers who failed to be elected are not of high quality, but they are more than enough to cultivate the fields and land. They can also be used as the external fence of Yecheng.

Here we want to say that psionic particles also have an impact on the maturity of food crops.

Just like the earth's mutant animals, which can reproduce a generation in a few months, the maturity period of grain crops has also been reduced a lot, and the impact of temperature is very small. Even in the areas north of the Yangtze River, crops do not need to go through the overwintering period and green returning period.

Take wheat as an example. The wheat planted in that month starts heading and filling in a month, and matures in a month and a half at most.

Some people may ask, farming is so easy, why are there still military grain shortages in the three countries?

There are three main reasons.

First, the troops of the Three Kingdoms of the spirit world eat much more than ordinary troops. One person can equal the food of the previous two or three people.

Second, the transportation of military grain in the three countries is difficult, and the consumption on the road is also great.

Third, that is the most important reason: the proportion of the army in the total population has seriously exceeded the warning line!

Taking Yuan Shao as an example, let's take a look at the total population during the separatist period.

According to the records of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao seized the registered residence of Jizhou after the capture of the census register. Even so, Cao Cao happily said to Cui Yan: "(Jizhou) is a big state."

Of course, in order to avoid tax and service, there are many registered residence and family members. However, the total population of Jizhou will be hundreds of thousands.

Yuan Shao's main control area is Jizhou. Other Youzhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou are only a corner, and they are remote and sparsely populated. The total population will not exceed one million.

It is said in the romance that Yuan Shao "has millions of people and hundreds of thousands of armor". Almost one of the three or four civilians was recruited into the army. Cut out the women and children, that is, all the young and strong join the army, even the old soldiers.

What about the Three Kingdoms of the spirit world?

After Bai Xiaowen controlled four states, the number of registered residence was 180 thousand, the total population was 970 thousand.

It's not difficult to farm, but no one does.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a shortage of military grain.

Now Bai Xiaowen orders the old and weak sergeants to reclaim the land, which is tantamount to disarmament in disguise and allowing 60000 labor forces to return to reclaim the land. Today, Jizhou has a large area of wasteland that can be reclaimed.

In addition, Xun Yu, as a good driver in Jizhou, has the passive skill of reclaiming farmland with a growth rate of 30%; Ren Jun, as a typical farmer, also has the skills to accelerate the reclamation of farmland.

According to the characteristics of food crops in the spirit world, you can begin to enjoy the results of field reclamation in a month and a half. Only when we have enough food and soldiers can we wipe out the world.

However, the top priority is to defeat Cao Cao. Without defeating Cao Cao, the first main line of unification cannot be completed, let alone follow-up.

In Anyang City, 20000 elite soldiers were added, and in Dazhai in the west of the city, 30000 elite soldiers were added; The remaining 10000 elite soldiers had long been taken to Wei County by Tian Yu and murongping.

On the third day, Cao Jun did not attack again, but sent Xu Chu, a fierce general, to fight under the city. Bai Xiaowen stayed closed and took the opportunity to repair the arrow buttress of the city wall.

The same is true on the fourth day.

At this time, the detailed work sent to Henan States finally returned the first batch of intelligence.

Cao Cao borrowed 300000 Dendrobium (about 5 million kg) from Zhang Lu and pledged the land of the three auxiliaries, including Chang'an.

From the perspective of this transaction alone, it is definitely a big profit for Zhang Lu. The three auxiliary places have always been called "Guanzhong", which is the cornerstone of the achievements of the Qin emperor and the first important place captured by the emperor Liu Bang after he left Sichuan. It is also an ancient capital with extraordinary political significance.

However, Zhang Lu still suffered blood loss and was fooled by Cao Cao.

At the same time, Cao Cao replaced the food and horses of Xiliang horse with three auxiliary places!

In this way, Cao Cao's military food was enough to support 200000 troops for at least a month, and temporarily alleviated the instability in the west, killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was attacked by sun ce of Jiangdong after he failed to capture Xudu last time. Now, half of the nine counties of Jingzhou belong to the sun family; Fortunately, Liu Bei group assisted Liu Biao and saved Xiangyang. At present, it is still unknown whether it will win or lose in the battle with sun.

In this way, Cao Cao did not have to worry about the problems in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Hanzhong, Xiliang and other places. In addition, with the borrowing of military food, the military situation was revived, which brought the army to attack Hebei.

Yuan's camp, Anyang senior military discussion.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and sighed, "Zhang Lu and Ma Teng are too easy to be cheated. Cao Cao's plan is not clever, but these two are short-sighted."

Dong Zhao said, "Zhang Lu is the leader of the garrison, and there are no wise men under his command. If Cao Cao used this strategy of" two tigers competing for food ", it would be self humiliating; but it is not surprising that he succeeded in Ma Teng Zhang Lu."

Tian Feng said, "Cao Cao's army came to Anyang City and only attacked it for two days. Yesterday and today, they only sent generals to fight, but they didn't really attack the city. Is it a fraud? We have gathered heavy troops here and are very worried about Fanyang and Weixian."

Before Tian Feng's voice fell, a reconnaissance horse came to report that Fanyang city had fallen the day before yesterday. Three thousand partial teachers led by Cao Xiong marched into Wei county.

Dong Zhaodao: "Lord, Cao bear is the fourth son of Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent him roundabout to attack Weixian, is it not a great idea? Three thousand, a partial teacher is really not afraid, but if Cao Cao pretends to attack Anyang, secretly adjust the elite soldiers to support Cao Cao, then Weixian is dangerous."

All his advisers thought Cao Cao's move was suspicious. Otherwise, why did he suddenly stop attacking Anyang after two days?

In addition, Cao Xiong is Cao Cao's own son. He took only 3000 soldiers and went deep into the hinterland of Jizhou. It's not normal. Cao Cao is bound to send troops to support his son!

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said, "there are three generals in Wei County, Tian Yu, Qiao Rui and murongping. They lead 10000 elite troops to guard, which is enough to protect themselves. As for the support of Cao Cao's troops, you can't believe it and don't take care of it for the time being. Just send more reconnaissance horses to inquire whether Cao Cao has a secret troop transfer plan."

On the fifth day, the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Jia returned the report.

Cao Cao secretly leads troops around Fanyang to support Cao Xiong!

Tian Feng and Dong Zhao were surprised at the news and urged Bai Xiaowen to lead troops to rescue Wei county. If the soldiers in Anyang City don't understand, they can also send Zhang Ying or Gao Lan to lead the elite soldiers of Dazhai in the west of the city to save Wei county.
