There is really no more hypocrisy than the imperial court!

Zhongmu County, prisoner of war camp, a zigzag wooden frame was erected there, and there were more than 100 people hanging on it like hanging salted fish, in the era of cold weapons, just by archery and knife cutting, it may not kill a person at once, but these lucky Hebei Army prisoners of war who survived Zhao Yun's pursuit might as well die directly on the battlefield, don't think how merciful the hanging, be put on a rope around the neck, hang on a wooden shelf and hang slowly, people have to endure the pain of suffocation for a few minutes, before they faint and be hanged under the lack of oxygen to the brain.

But it was obvious that Wang Hou was behind the scenes, secretly planning the prisoner of war riot, and when he turned around, he put the blame on these unlucky prisoners of war, when these people were writhing and struggling on the shelf, the remaining more than 2,000 Hebei Yuan army prisoners of war were all driven to the small square of the county town by the Cao army, pointing at them, turning his back to the angry Cao army, Zang Hong was also roaring with righteous indignation.

"See no, those who dare to conspire against the rebels are all in this end! Hang yourself on the gallows! Don't think about a whole corpse! Keep giving Ben will rot here, and the corpse must not be collected! ”

"The court remembers that you are not the main culprit, and you are coerced by the Hebei Yuan thief! That's why I didn't kill you all, pay attention to your life labor reform! But you wolf-hearted people harbor evil intentions! Dare to plot against each other and assassinate the officers and soldiers of the imperial court! Punish you all for a day of starvation! ”

"Scattered, scattered!"

More than 70 people died, and this punishment slightly satisfied the Cao Junhou camp guarding Zhongmu, but for the prisoners in custody, they must have been even more brutal, looking at their comrades who were still twisted on the gallows in a zigzag shape, these prisoners sighed and returned to the prisoner of war camp where they were held.

On the other hand, hundreds of lives were delivered, and the intelligence network that Wang Hou had been tinkering with for several months began to operate normally.

Don't look at the main battlefield of the two major military groups in the Central Plains of Hebei in Guandu, the thousands of cavalry of the scout battalions of the two armies are scattered in hundreds of square kilometers of the entire East County, and even the bold scout cavalry of the Cao Army crossed the Yellow River and set foot on Yuan Shao's nest Hebei.

The eastern end of Daying, Hebei, He County, Jiang Village.

The village has long been empty, and it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world! The first batch of soldiers and civilians were swept to Yanzhou by the retreating Cao Cao, and the villagers who fled back to the wilderness were pulled by Yuan Shao for the second time, and were forcibly captured into the camp of the rear army as a man who was not well fed and clothed, and I don't know if he was starved into a pile of bones.

At the bottom of the jar, dozens of sorghum grains that had been troughed were exposed, and in the cold winter, the hungry rats immediately surrounded the squeaky slag, and even the two rats grinned together for a few grains of sorghum, and the greedy rats didn't notice a big tail that had been erected high behind their buttocks.

However, the hungry weasel, who was also hungry, did not make a move after all, because in the heavy footsteps, some more ferocious predators appeared!

The leather military boots made a creaking sound when stepping on the snow, and saw a few black shadows breaking into the barren yard, and the hungry and crazy rats did not escape, but raised their heads to show a sharp tooth and squeaked fiercely, but after all, people are people, especially the particularly elite scout cavalry in the Central Plains cavalry, annoyed twisted up three arrows, pulled the bowstring violently, poof, the two rats fell in response, black and red blood splashed in the snow, and the remaining mice were finally frightened and fled.

Those who can be scout cavalry, at least they have to be small landlords, because in this era, soldiers need to be responsible for raising horses, and can afford to raise a war horse, but they need a lot of materials, full of disgust, this Cao Jun scout stepped on the mouse corpse and pulled out the arrow, and threw it back with the blood unwiped, followed by him, he was also groping in the broken jar, and after a while, in a pile of mouse droppings, a small wax-sealed bamboo tube was touched out by him, and the cavalry's face was suddenly happy.

A few seconds later, in the face of the rapid wind and snow, he was as alert as a weasel, and quickly rode his horse and disappeared into the vast plain, leaving only two rats that had begun to freeze to attract new hungry weasels.

This is Wang Hou's intelligence system, Xiahou Shang's tiger and leopard cavalry scout cavalry transferred to him twenty, according to the agreement with He Bin, as soon as he crossed the water in three days, he searched in the dilapidated village or Tucheng near Yuan Shaojun's camp, and searched for the Yuan army's information in the courtyard with a big locust tree.

This is the first piece of information that He Bin "defected" back to the Hebei camp, so Wang Hou's intelligence bureau attaches great importance to this.

In order to show his different identity as a "spy chief," Wang Hou separately ordered himself to build a two-story building of about 200 square meters in a bunch of permanent military camps under construction, and a swarthy sign of the Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission was hung on it with great momentum.

It's just that the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission is too shabby now, the two-story building is still a rough house, all of which are bare cement surfaces, there is no independent bathroom on the second floor, and you have to run to the first floor to go to the toilet, a large archive room prepared by Wang Hou is also empty, and in the office, there is only a table and a few chairs, and the only subordinate employee is Lu Ji alone.

There is no way, there are too few literati under him, and most of them are still left in Puyang by him, and continue to continue his policy to maintain the operation of the Puyang market, and although the intelligence agency is still quite small now, there is only one line of Deng Yi, but there is always a time to become bigger! It's better to keep it secret, it's really not that you can't recruit people!

The first time the information was opened, Wang Hou also made a sense of ceremony, and he twisted the bamboo tube, revealing a large number of random numbers written on the white cloth inside, all of which were Arabic numerals, and at that end, Lu Ji was interested in taking the confidential document code book, which was actually "Thousand Character Text", and it was corrected page by page according to the numbers.

Lines of orderly text were suddenly revealed.

Deng Yi is really talented as a spy, and a long paragraph allows him to express it in extremely concise words.

It's just that he has just returned to Yuan Ying to settle down, and this is the first time, the information sent back is extremely limited, and he just reported that he was safe and reported the situation at the same time.

As in the plan, the most courageous Fang Yue returned with a head, and he was promoted the most, from the original tun commander to Qu Sima, and he Deng Yi was promoted from the original only one soldier to the team leader of the hundred teams, Yuan Shao had just suffered a defeat, and for them these "miraculous" warriors who came back from Cao Ying, they also focused on publicizing to boost the morale of the north side of the river.

It was also a planned scene, whether it was Fang Yue or Deng Yi, they all unified their calibers, and said that the rear camp of the Cao army was already hungry and could not eat enough, and was facing the crisis of running out of food, and conveyed the first false news to Yuan Shao.

However, the letter is not for, Deng Yi still cautiously put it forward, he and Fang Yuecai took office as new officials, and many Hebei officers from the children of the family were hostile to them and looked down on them, and in order to find out information, it was necessary to ease the relationship with them, and this best palliative was none other than Brother Kong Fang! Ask Wang Hou for the first support.

He also planted a nail in Yuan Jun, and Wang Hou nodded without saying anything.

"Secretary Lu, in a while, I will allocate a hundred copper coins, five jars of wine, and one jar of dried meat in the back camp, alas, it would be nice if there was tobacco at this time, this thing is definitely a good medicine for socializing!"

"Got it, master!"

"You have to answer, honor! Managing director! ”

A little stunned, he raised his good-looking eyebrows, but now he fully wants to play the role of Mrs. Wang, and Lu Ji also immediately lifted her skirt lightly.

"Yes! The concubine of the elder chrysanthemum! ”

"Go ahead!"

Although this title is still a bit sleepy, it finally satisfies Wang Hou's fantasy of the director of the spy chief in the spy war film, and he is happy to nod his head again.

sent Lu Ji down, Wang Hou stuffed the first secret document into the thick paper shell file bag, stuffed it into his file room with his own hands, and then came to the window without glass windows with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the Yanzhou Zhuangding who were still busy carrying cement and reinforced bricks below, the excitement in his pupils could not be concealed no matter what.

There's no way not to get excited! A while ago, Xiahou Shang said that Yuan Jun's grain was in Wuchao, which was a stick that smashed his original confident plan to break Yuan Shao! But now through Deng Yi, he has successfully buried a nail under Yuan Shao, a Western proverb, broke a horseshoe and destroyed an empire! So don't underestimate Deng and Fang Yue's two little junior officers, in time, they will eventually grow into Yuan Shao's henchmen!

Through his own efforts, Wang Hou has the capital to change history a little!

Just as Wang Hou looked out the window in an excited and daze, time began to pass little by little.

…………

The life of later generations is the company to the home three points and one line, then this late Han era, is the ploughing and war occupy the main theme of life, and even combat has almost become an indispensable part of the life of men in the Han Dynasty, fighting the Huns in peacetime, the internal fighting when the regime is fragmented, anyway, there is always a time when you go to the battlefield, all say that the old Maozi of later generations is a fighting nation, and we are the fighting nation of East Asia!

And this Guandu war, but also reached the peak of the fighting life of the Han Dynasty, from November last year to the beginning of the war, to now, in a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

But the battle was still deadlocked.

At this time, the bloody majestic snow-capped mountains in front of Yuan Shaojun have been replaced by real earth mountains, after all, there are more than 200,000 people under his command, in the winter to spring, when the earth is sealed, it has already taken advantage of the frozen snow mountains before the melting, digging to replace the snow mountains in the snow mountains, and after the snow mountains of Yuan Jun in Hebei Province completely melted, the earth mountains were pressed to the distance of 50 meters from the Guandu camp in a few days.

It's just that the role of these huge siege fortifications is really quite limited, because after realizing the importance of the return artillery, Cao Cao ordered to step up production, and now the return cannon of the Cao army on the front line of Guandu has increased to as many as 200.

The Yuan army climbed the earth mountain slightly and shot downward, and this return cannon was a ping-pong split head and face smashed over, the large pebbles in the Jishui River, and the coal that was not so scarce for the time being, kept the smashed Yuan Jun with a gray face.

And at this time, the front of the Guandu camp is no longer as simple as a simple three-row breastwork!

Thanks to man's best friend, Dog! In winter, the heavy snow and freezing became Wang Hou's transportation convenience, relying on the highway pulled by dogs and climbing plows, and in one winter, he couldn't count how many materials were transported from Xudu, lime coal smelting muck, these things built a cement military camp of Cao Jun.

There are a total of 80 military camps in the shape of the mouth, and four officers' dormitories have replaced the previous simple sheds, and at the end of the cold winter, a month after the spring returns to the earth, Wang Hou finally let the officers and soldiers of Cao on the front line live on the fire kang! In the end, it took a whole winter to move into the new dormitory, and Cao Jun, the frontier, thanked his eighth-generation ancestors.

Whether it is warm or not, the sturdy two-story cement building directly forms rows of solid fortifications.

And behind the low wall of the fan-shaped Guandu battalion defense circle, Wang Hou also began to build the enemy building, behind each circle of low walls is a three-story semi-enclosed beacon tower, the thick cement bricks reach about half a meter, the second floor has a shooting hole, the third floor is the lookout, the soldiers stationed in the front line on weekdays hide in the enemy building to play cards, it is difficult for the Yuan army to shoot arrows on the mountain to kill and injure the hidden Cao army, and when Yuan Shao ordered the infantry to attack, they can quickly drill out of the enemy building and snipe the enemy army.

Here also have to blow a blow cement to the war changes, originally Cao Jun's ice castle also gradually melted with the warmer weather, Yuan Shao also planned to launch a new spring offensive, but the third day before the attack, Cao Jun suddenly dug a foundation pit in front of the ice castle, the first night, the outside of the thick cement simple paste, inside is the first layer of bricks sandwiched with steel bars on the first layer of the enemy building was built, the next night while the night, the small second floor was also built, the third day, the third floor of the lookout is completely built!

Looking at the dense crowd of more than fifty towering and ugly enemy buildings like bread, as well as the return artillery that had been moved to the roof of the reinforced concrete barracks at the back, Yuan Shao simply canceled the attack plan.

However, the war is indeed a great destruction of the social productive forces, 300,000 strong men invaded Dongjun, hoarded in Guandu, since the Eastern Han Dynasty densely populated and rich Jizhou, this year also began to face a large-scale reduction in production, Jizhou's fields are only cultivated about five layers, and Cao Cao's Yanzhou is even more miserable, originally because of the Lu Bu Rebellion and the population withered, more than 100,000 strong men were also gathered in the Guandu camp, this year even Xuchang has reduced production by about half, many states and counties are only cultivated less than 30% of the land, Cheng Yu, who was so short of people that he even stayed in Xuchang, sent someone to write to Wang Hou, grinning and asking him to spit out tens of thousands of strong men to go back to spring ploughing, which shows the critical situation of the situation!

In June Futian, whether it was the Yuan army of Hebei or the Cao army of the Central Plains, they began to become more and more anxious! Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Follow Mr. Cao and the Three Kingdoms Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
