It was another night of slaughter, which was similar to the battle situation of Zhang Liao at the beginning.

After more than 10,000 of the 50,000 troops were killed, they couldn't stand it, and when they saw that the main generals were gone, those who surrendered directly surrendered, and those who fled fled.

The soldiers under Wei Yan's command were only injured in the hundreds, and the trapped camp was basically undamaged, except for a few goods who were seriously injured by the captains in the opposing army, the others were not even slightly injured.

When Wei Yan saw the more than 30,000 soldiers who had been captured, he felt so happy in his heart.

It's not easy! After three days of aggrieved defense, half of the army under his command was defeated, and he finally ate meat! Now it should be able to sit on an equal footing with Zhang Wenyuan!

Wei Yan's resentment towards Zhang Liao is not ordinarily deep. Not only because the status and position of the two are similar, but also because the two are also good at similar aspects, very similar.

They are all good at raiding, they can be independent, and their martial arts and command abilities are almost the same, just like a pair of twin brothers.

The only thing that is not the same is the character of the two, Zhang Liao is steady, and Wei Yan is brave. These two people feel like another version of Gao Shun and Ju Yi, but Zhang Liao can't stabilize Wei Yan, at most he is strong.

After Lu Su learned the results of the battle, he knew that the entire Yangzhou defense battle was over.

This battle report will soon be passed on to Huang Zu and Cai Mao. As long as Cai Mao still has a little brain, he knows that it is time to retire. Jiujiang couldn't take it, and his allies were all wiped out. Moreover, the killing weapon of trapping the camp has been liberated, as long as he is put into battle, Cai Mao is not one at all, and he has no chance to go ashore.

As long as Cai Mao is not stupid, he will not look for death by himself, anyway, he did not suffer a loss this time. It is the old ghost of Huang Zu who suffers, it would be good if Cai Mao didn't snicker, and he could take this opportunity to seize more military power.

And the population loss of the families in Xuzhou and Yuzhou is nothing in the eyes of these families.

In this troubled era, the whole north will soon be in a mess, and the homeless people are not everywhere? If you die more, you can save more land and food, and you can make less trouble!

There is no shortage of population at all in these families, think about how much less population was during the Three Kingdoms period? 60 million people, and in the end, less than 10 million.

This large number of people is not all gone, and a small part of them have become black households of the family. The rest of the families felt that they were not worth raising or could not afford to raise, so they let them die.

In this troubled era, the families lack talents, land, money and food, but they will never lack population.

So on the surface, it seems that the family has suffered heavy losses, and more than 100,000 troops have lost it, but in fact? If there is no hair, it will be able to recover in half a year at most.

As Lu Su expected, after getting the news, Cai Mao withdrew directly. When Huang Zu learned that Cai Mao had withdrawn from the army, although he was furious, he scolded Cai Mao in his heart, and finally he could only reluctantly withdraw from the army.

Cai Mao and they retreated, and Huang Zhong and they couldn't pursue, after all, they were a little reluctant to defend Yangzhou now, and if they wanted to attack Jingzhou, they should wash and sleep!

Tian Feng and the others decisively gave up the foreign troops, and chose to calmly clean up the internal chaos in Yangzhou, as well as settle accounts with some internal thieves.

Just like half a year ago, groups of wealthy families collectively hit the streets. During this period, the Gu family, the Zhu family and the Lu family made a lot of efforts.

Among them, the old fox of the Lu family took the initiative to help since he learned the news of Zhang Liao's victory. The Gu family and the Zhu family knew about the actions taken by Huang Zhong after his victory.

Although there are some afterthoughts and icing on the cake, after all, it still depends on these three. Tian Feng and others also appeased these families, and gave up some officialdom and commercial interests.

The battle of Yangzhou ended in such a thrilling and anticlimactic manner.

At first, Tian Feng was very worried, for fear that there would be a problem in one link and he would lose the whole game. As a result, I didn't expect my teammates to be far more powerful than I thought. When Huang Zhong won, Tian Feng knew that the general trend had been decided.

This seemingly dangerous situation was solved without any waves! Tian Feng was a little skeptical of his cognition, whether his teammates were too strong or his opponents were too piggy!

Thinking about it carefully, the other party is indeed a little stupid except for Huang Zu, and there seems to be nothing wrong with the remaining group of goods marching to fight, and he can only blame himself for being too strong.

Although these families have not suffered much damage, it is estimated that they will not come again in half a year. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Feng's people just began to reorganize internal affairs and conscription.

After this time, even Tian Feng had to admit that Jiangdong's soldiers were still not enough, and at least the army had to be expanded to 200,000 to ensure self-protection. So according to Yuan Shu's previous arrangement, Yangzhou began a new round of conscription.

In fact, according to Yangzhou's current level of wealth, it is as if it is casually pulling out an army of three or four hundred thousand and playing.

You must know that the population of the late Shu Han dynasty in the Three Kingdoms in history was only 6 million, and the battle of Yiling could pull out 6 or 700,000 troops, which basically reached the proportion of one out of ten people as a soldier, close to the proportion of the Qin Dynasty.

As soon as they heard that the army was going to be expanded, the generals were like wolves, and they were about to fight in order to get more military power. In the end, Tian Feng stood up and made the final decision. These recruits were first handed over to Ji Ling for training, and then arranged by Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu returned.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the problem of foreign enemies was solved, and there were many floods in Jiangdong.

Fortunately, a lot of water conservancy projects have been built in Yangzhou in the past six months, and the flood did not cause much harm, but it still gave Tian Feng a wake-up call.

It's spring, and the scale of the floods isn't large, and the impact isn't great. If we wait until summer and autumn, it will be miserable, and the people will probably have no harvest.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shu must give priority to the construction of water conservancy and the construction of medical centers. These natural disasters are the most terrifying existence of this era. The slightest carelessness can lead to millions of deaths.

Why did so many people follow the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty? Because Zhang Jiao is known as free treatment and saving people.

The great plague at the end of the Han Dynasty led to the death of at least 20 million people in fifteen years, otherwise the population would not have decreased so much. Four of Jian'an's seven sons all died of the plague, and Cao Cao also wrote the famous poem "Artemisia Lixing" for this great plague.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.

This kind of catastrophe is the life-saving lock of the dynasty, the destroyer of civilization, and can kill tens of thousands of people casually.

The disasters at the end of the Han Dynasty have to be said that they were really frequent. Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where almost 1 in 10 people would have survived.

After a major flood, the people of Yangzhou had to return to the previous state of survival in pursuit of survival.

Now that Tian Feng has even stalled his plan to build roads, he has mobilized the people to build water conservancy projects to ensure that this year's grain harvest will not be affected.

You must know that with the current situation in Yangzhou, it can be said that as long as this year's grain can be harvested, there is no need to worry about grain in two years.

Needless to say, the importance of food is definitely not that there are not enough soldiers in this troubled world, but that there is not enough food. You can recruit as many soldiers as you have food. A lot of homeless people want to eat!

Troubled times are coming, and the price of grain will definitely increase wildly, and it is possible that the grain price of a few hundred cents and a stone will rise to dozens of times by then.

In history, why was there such a big gap between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu? Isn't it because there is not enough food? The poor can't afford to raise an army, and they have developed a thing that tramples on the bottom line of morality, such as eating human flesh.
