When He Man was fighting against Zhang Fei, he suddenly heard the noise of the army behind him, and when he looked back, he saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of the camp, and the sergeants behind the battle were restless, not knowing what had happened in the camp. dragged the iron rod at the moment, gave up Zhang Fei and ran back. When Zhang Fei saw it, he didn't stop it, and watched He Man return to the formation with a smile.

However, he said that just before He Man returned to the battle, he saw Jia Ren, who had stayed in the camp, coming in disgrace.

At this time, Jia Ren was embarrassed, and half of the fairy wind bones were not served, not only was the feather fan lost, but there were also several big holes in the robe. When he saw He Man, he even cried in his tone.

"General, something is wrong! In the camp, the grain and grass hoarded in the camp were burned to people! Jia Ren pulled He Man and cried.

When He Man heard this, he was shocked. The camp had hoarded the army's grain and grass for nearly a month, and it would be a big bad thing if it was burned to people. Because the wharf was burned down, the waterway was impassable, and if it was necessary to transport grain and grass by land, it would not only be more expensive, but also more dangerous than the waterway.

Why? Just because there is a shortage of food in the whole world.

Last year, there was a severe drought in the world, and many places in the Central Plains were out of harvest. The wealthy family has a stockpile of grain at home, so they naturally do not panic. In the eyes of the common people, it was as if the end was coming. After the great drought, there were few people from wealthy families who gave porridge and alms, and many people who took the opportunity to raise prices. Many ordinary people who could have lived a good life had to pay high prices for rice and grain to make ends meet. And when the common people took out their small savings to buy food, they were close to bankruptcy and had no choice but to pawn their property, or even sell their children and daughters.

The wealthy and wealthy, who account for a very small proportion of the world's population, own most of the world's property, while the common people, who account for the vast majority of the world's population, are destitute and have little place to stand. Therefore, this great drought is said to be a natural disaster, although it is not bad, but it is also a man-made disaster.

Every natural disaster has become a gluttonous feast for the world's wealthy and wealthy families to exploit the common people, the wealth of the world is more and more concentrated, and after accumulating to a point, there are always people who raise their arms and shout, the end of the Qin Dynasty is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the end of the Han Dynasty is Zhang Jiao. Then came the chaos of the world, the massive reduction of the population, the redistribution of wealth, and the renewal of exploitation patterns. If there is no accident, the world will re-enter a stable "prosperous era". This is a major law of the development of human society.

If you transport grain and grass by land, I am afraid that you will not be able to walk ten miles out of Xuchang City, and the grain and grass will be snatched up by the hungry refugees. Although they are numb and emaciated, they are extremely aggressive when they see food. No one can reason with them, because a hungry stomach will not reason with them.

Therefore, transporting grain from land did not work, and the burning of grain and grass did poke at He Man's weakness.

It is only because of Guo Bin's original measures to resettle the displaced people that more than 30,000 displaced people in Yangzhai County have been properly resettled. Not only do they have food to eat, clothes to wear, but also enough jobs to feed their families, new houses, and even heat in winter. Not only that, but their children can also go to government schools.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that there is not even a single homeless or beggar in Yangzhai County, because everyone in Yangzhai has their own jobs. In particular, the 30,000 new inhabitants are still subject to food rationing, and those who do not work are not allowed to eat. In this way, the Yellow Turban Army lost its foundation in Yangzhai County and had no source of soldiers.

Not only that, because Guo Bin vigorously developed the concrete construction industry last year, the estates of the wealthy families in Yangzhai County were all built with bricks, stones and cement to build high courtyard walls, which caused the territory of Yangzhai to be full of Wu forts, and the Yellow Turban Army's initial plan to break through the manors of the wealthy families and use grain and grass from them was in vain. Because with the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, it is impossible to divide troops to attack all the manors, and now it is already the limit to divide 10,000 troops to attack Fulong Villa.

Today's step is extremely important for Guo Bin and the Yellow Turban Army.

It can be said that the current Yellow Turban Army has fallen into a dilemma, the grain and grass have been cut off, and it is difficult to last for a long time, and the Yellow Turban Army must seek a decisive battle. For Guo Bin's side, the plan to divide the enemy's forces and cut off his grain and grass has been successful, as long as it can block the next round of offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, this battle will be won.

However, Guo Bin and the other strategists knew that the Yellow Turban Army had been driven to a dead end, and their next round of offensive was bound to be extremely fierce. Therefore, since He Man led the Yellow Turban Army back to the camp to extinguish the fire and rescue the grain and grass, Guo Bin commanded his subordinates to start preparing fortifications.

Guo Bin ordered Guan Yu's department, which burned the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban Army, to roam outside the Yellow Turban Army camp, only using bows and arrows to disturb and shoot, without having to attack hard, as long as they were monitored and their small groups of soldiers did not dare to leave the camp. And if a large army comes out of the camp to attack, it can take advantage of the super mobility of the cavalry to escape on its own, and when the army returns to the camp, it will go back to continue monitoring. In a word: the enemy is stationed to disturb us, and he is looking for fighters. In modern parlance, it's "kite flying". I can't kill you, I annoy you.

In addition to this cavalry, which monitored and harassed the movements of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Bin also ordered people to set up fortifications in front of the camp.

He had a ditch nearly two meters wide and one and a half meters deep dug in front of the camp, and the excavated earth was gathered together and the water to make a sticky mud that was pasted on the wooden camp wall. In this way, it can not only increase the relative height of the city wall, but also enhance the strength of the wall, and can also defend against the enemy's bow and arrow attacks, and can be more fireproof. If the enemy launches a rocket attack, the rocket will not enter through the crack in the wall, injure people, nor will it hit the wooden wall, causing a fire. This design allows defenders to shoot with bows and arrows, or use spears to stab, and they can hide behind the wall.

In addition to reinforcing the wall and digging deep trenches, Guo Bin also ordered people to dig many small pits outside the camp in an irregular manner. These small pits were tiny, not as big as an adult's foot, and they were just gouged with a hoe. However, these small pits, which do not cause damage to the enemy, can make the enemy's feet unpleasant, and can effectively delay the enemy's attack.

In addition, as for standard equipment such as antlers, it is naturally indispensable.

This extremely labor-intensive project with no technical content at all, Guo Bin handed over to the recruited migrant workers.

These migrant workers were recruited from the large and small Wubao scattered in Yangzhai County, and they did not need a grain of food. Since Guo Bin returned to the special forces camp in Yangzhai Mountain, he wrote a few letters, asking Guan Yu's cavalry to go to each Wu fort in a group of five to deliver letters, and each Wu fort sent people and food to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

The book said: "The Yellow Turban Army besieged the city with 30,000 people, and Bin sealed the cavalry with the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion, and led the Yue cavalry battalion back to Yang Zhai." In the territory of Yangzhai, the Zhuang Yuan thought about its own strength, and sent people to serve in the army as appropriate. When the letter arrives, it will be executed immediately. ”

The letter was drafted by Guo Bin, with a short length of 54 words, and dozens of copies were copied by the army, and it was stamped with Guo Bin's private seal and sent out.

Within three days, people came one after another, led by special soldiers. Up to now, in just ten days since the letter was sent, more than 5,000 people had gathered in the camp, and the people were stunned.

Chen came to the new place, did not understand Guo Bin's prestige and influence in Yangzhai County, and categorically did not expect that Guo Bin's letter and a private seal could attract more than 5,000 people in ten days, and all of them were full of complexion, much more elite than the Yellow Turban Army that came to fight yesterday. I'm afraid that even the edict of the Son of Heaven could not be carried out so quickly, right?

Moreover, he has also read the content of the letter, the content of the letter is short and unusual, neither clearly requiring the number of people to be sent out of each village, nor indicating the time limit for the arrival of the people, let alone explaining the general trend of Yang Zhai, not saying anything about "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", "under the nest, there are eggs", there is no emotion, there is no reason, and there is not even a word promising the benefits and benefits after the war.

Not only that, but there was neither a title nor a signature in the letter, but only a small private seal of Guo Bin on the envelope.

At that time, he wondered, how could such a formless and polite letter attract people? It's just that he recently defected, so he didn't say it at the time. Now, seeing that this short letter of more than 50 words could really attract more than 5,000 people in ten days, he could no longer bear it, so he opened his mouth and asked: "How can the lord be sure that just one letter can attract 5,000 people?" Yesterday burned the grain and grass in the Yellow Turban barracks, and cut off its grain routes, the Yellow Turban army is bound to be desperate and desperately fighting. ”

Guo Bin smiled, didn't speak, and motioned to Xi Zhicai to explain to him.

Xi Zhicai said: "Uncle Zhi doesn't know, although the lord has only been the commander of Yangzhai County for a few months, and he has only risen in Yangzhai County for more than half a year, he has a lot of kindness in the county. In addition, Yangzhai County Construction Co., Ltd. has made the lord and the wealthy family of Yangzhai have the same spirit, which can be described as both glory and humiliation. Therefore, in Yangzhai County, if the lord has an order, no one dares to disobey it. Even if the lord is not in charge of Yang Zhai Ling, it is also the same. ”

Seeing Chen Zhi looking at Guo Bin with a look of admiration, Xun Yu smiled and said: "Not only that, the lord has always acted open-mindedly and generously, and he must not let the people under his rule suffer." Although the letter did not say what the benefits were, it is well known that the more people who come out, the more benefits there will be, so everyone is vying to be the first. It was these 5,000 people that were ordered by the lord to send the letter, and there were no more than 200 people in each village. If it is not stated in advance, I am afraid that there will be no less than 30,000 people. ”

Xun Yu didn't say anything big, there are nearly 100 farms of all sizes in Yangzhai County, that is, each village has 100 people, that is, 10,000 people. Guo Bin is a large village with great strength enough to protect himself, and many of the villages that are located near Yangzhai County, under the siege of the Yellow Turban Army, and are very vulnerable to the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, have not been notified.

Chen Zhi bowed and said: "The minister tastes and smells, and the country of ten thousand times is used to fight the country of ten thousand times, and the pot pulp is eaten to welcome the king." What Father Guanyang Zhai did today, how could he be! ”
