Yuzhou.

The chaos in Xudu has begun to extend to Yuzhou Sifang, Yingchuan, Chenliu, Chenjun, and Peijun...... With the continuous entry of Soochow's abundant funds, they began to be in chaos.

The markets in the cities of Yuzhou have also become extremely chaotic, with the prices of rice, salt, meat, cloth, and iron...... and so on continue to raise the price.

As soon as the prices of these daily necessities are high, the market will naturally be chaotic.

When the market is chaotic, the people will be chaotic.

Yuzhou is a large state, the population is more prosperous than Guanzhong, under the chaos, the whole Yuzhou began to move, smashed the market in the people who can not afford to buy things under the automatic formation, so that the county government is also anxious.

"Now that the price of rice has reached 800 yuan a stone, what will we do in the future?"

"Even ordinary linen costs five hundred dollars a horse, and I don't have to wear clothes!"

"The county government doesn't care about it!"

"County office? I heard that even the county government is in chaos now, arresting people every day, and I can't sit in prison! ”

"I also heard about it, it seems that this was originally the official of the county government, because the imperial treasury was already empty, so they deliberately raised prices and looted from our people!"

"Really, and this thing?"

"No, it won't!"

"It's really possible, the emperor is now at war with Dongwu in Youzhou, using hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Youzhou, and now the treasury has no money, they will fill it from us!"

"How can the court be like this, it's too much!"

“……”

The turmoil of the people caused by the price soon triggered the surge of the people, and the people who had no food to eat were the most terrible.

The whole of Yuzhou is already in chaos.

And Xudu City is a source of this chaos, and the large market in the southeast is crowded by the common people every day. Under the smashing of the people, one store after another had to close down, and the economic depression caused countless public indignation.

"What's going on?"

The Yuzhou Assassin Shi Manzhong, who realized it later, returned to Xudu from Runan in a hurry, and immediately summoned all the Yuzhou county orders and was furious.

He's only been away from Xudu for a few days. Yuzhou has actually become what it is today.

"Envoy, this is obviously a business war in Eastern Wu!"

A county magistrate lowered his head and muttered.

"Yes."

"The people of Soochow are so hateful!"

"Actually used a group of merchant insects to disturb our land of Yuzhou!"

"Stir up our people against us!"

Above the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, one county order after another is full of righteous indignation, these days they have been miserable by the complaining people, they can't be beaten and scolded, and they have to be comforted with a good voice, otherwise if they are not careful, they will force the people to rebel.

"Business wars?"

Full of favors. His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression became more and more cold, and his fists clenched tightly: "Does Dongwu want to repeat the old tricks and repeat the war without gunpowder in Jizhou back then?" ”

The economic battle in Jizhou that year shook the entire Great Wei by three points.

Standing in his position, he was already one of Cao Wei's decision-making layers, and he knew more about the battle of Jizhou than ordinary officials. That war almost collapsed the entire economy of Jizhou. Even the treasury of the court was greatly damaged.

Could it be that Soochow wants to have a game in Yuzhou.

Damn it!

has not been able to defend against Soochow's hand.

Big trouble!

Manzhong's face was gloomy, his mind began to turn, and he was constantly thinking about countermeasures, but he didn't know much about this aspect.

"Envoy-sama, we just found out. The matter of Runan, the mastermind behind it is Dongwu Jinyiwei! "The ghost pawn Yuzhou Hall Master walked in from the outside, stood under the hall, and said to the full favor.

Manzhong felt that the turmoil in Runan was a little strange. Let the ghost pawn check it out, after all, the ghost pawn is better at this aspect.

"It's a trap!"

When the pet heard this, a chill rose in his heart.

He can become the assassin of Yuzhou, Cao Cao's confidant and minister of the frontier, and control the foundation territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, naturally he is not a fool, and many things can be made clear by reasoning.

From the beginning of the turmoil in Runan to the current turmoil in Yuzhou, this is simply a bureau.

The matter of Runan is mostly to divert his attention, and then disrupt the economy of Yuzhou, and now that the market turmoil has been caused, the wood has been completed, even if he is blocking it now, I am afraid it will not be able to stop it.

"Cao Anmin, as the commander of Xudu County, how did you keep an eye on Xudu City?"

Full of pet's eyes were cold, his expression was gloomy, staring at Xu Du Ling Cao Anmin.

"Lord Envoy, it's the fault of his subordinates, who failed to discover the conspiracy of Soochow!"

Cao Anmin is Cao Cao's nephew, who was originally a general in the army, but in the battle of Lu Butai Shici's sneak attack on Xu Du, he was injured and retired and became Xu Duling.

He didn't have much experience in this area, and he wanted to live in the royal family and disdain businessmen, so he rarely fancied the market, but he didn't expect to cause such a catastrophe!

"You immediately write a letter and report the situation to the court!"

"No!" Cao Anmin nodded and took the order.

Man Pet gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Also, let the soldiers and horses under General Xiahoudun prepare, once the situation in Yuzhou cannot be controlled, immediately send troops to suppress it, now that the battle of Youzhou is in full swing, we can't let Yuzhou be in chaos!" ”

"No!"

"Send my order again, control the Yueshan Grain Store first, this is one of the sources, it must be suppressed, in addition, to the major families in Yuzhou, post one by one, and a certain family will see them in person!" Man Pet said coldly.

In Yuzhou, the richest people are not the merchants of Yuzhou, the merchants of Cao Wei are not as good as those of Eastern Wu, they are always the powerful and powerful families, even if the businessmen are a little colorful, they are also pressed by this class, of course, it is not the Assassin Mansion, but the major families and the powerful.

The Yuzhou family is mainly based on Yingchuan.

Yuzhou is strong, mainly Xudu.

These big families control the land, control the food, they are the richest, if they can have their full support. It is also possible to calm the economic war in Yuzhou.

But he also knows very well that even His Majesty respects these wealthy families, and he can only use the policy of softness.

"No!"

Everyone nodded tremblingly in the face of the resolute full favor.

————————————————————————

Youzhou.

The offensive and defensive battle of Jicheng had already begun, and the Wei army launched a strong attack on the third day of the siege, and Zhang Liao sat in the military camp. Grasping the battle situation, Yu Banqin led the Wei army soldiers to charge into battle, and it only took one day to break through the defense line of the moat outside the city.

This time, the Wei army was very well prepared for the Battle of Youzhou, and just the giant well carts used in the siege of the city pressed hundreds of corpses, each of which could level the city wall and allow hundreds of soldiers to fight.

And those large ballista cars, crash cars, rushing cars, ladders. Countless, the army pressed on, and the outside of the city seemed to be black and oppressive.

Behind the army, there were also trebuchets.

This is the weapon of mass destruction.

"Sons of Great Wei, charge with me!"

"Kill it!"

"Kill Wu Gou, raise the prestige of my Great Wei!"

"Break through Jicheng, kill Wu General Huang Zhong, and make contributions!"

The Wei army's charge was fierce. The morale-inflated soldiers of the Wei army seemed to be not afraid of life and death, and shouted one by one. Under the personal leadership of the general, he slammed into the city wall of this thistle.

Rumble!

Rumble!

This is the Wei army's catapult sending out boulders, cutting through arc lines, and falling on the city wall, trying to smash this solid city wall.

"Hmph, the attack is fierce!"

Standing at the head of the city, Huang Zhong, the chief general of the Wu army. Holding a big knife in his hand, his eyes were cold, looking down at the Wei army under the city, like a King Kong: "But if you only rely on this offensive, it is not enough to attack my Jicheng." There must be reinforcements for the Wei army! ”

The Wei army's offensive was very fierce, but the Wu army was not vegetarian, and this offensive was not enough to make Jicheng break the city.

"Commander, if there are reinforcements on the Wei side, we will soon be breached by the city gate!" A division commander said.

The situation in Jicheng is very severe, in fact, the offensive and defensive battle between the cities, the siege equipment is very critical, the Wei army is well prepared, in a short time, so many siege equipment have been transported to Jicheng, which is a great blow to the defense of Jicheng.

Just the trebuchet cost them heavy casualties.

"It's a little underestimating them!"

Huang Zhong gritted his teeth, but his face did not change, and he boosted his morale with his own spirit: "But don't worry, the chief of staff will find reinforcements from our army, and now we just need to hold on, it's okay!" ”

In the distance of the gate of Jicheng, the main barracks of the Wei army, the main general Zhang Liao, wearing battle armor, stood at the highest point of the barracks, looking down on this offensive and defensive battle: "If Jicheng is in danger, will Huang Hansheng hold on or break through?" ”

"General, I think hold on!"

Tian Feng walked up from behind Zhang Liao, he thought about it, and said: "Huang Zhong is a person, in addition to being steady, he has a tough personality, and Sun Zhongmou should have considered putting him in the northern Xinjiang, in this northern Xinjiang, the first consideration of Dongwu is not to conquer the city, but to stick to the territory, after all, occupying the land of Youzhou is already a knife in our back, in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, there are countless generals who are sharp enough to open up the territory and open up the territory, but when it comes to stability and tenacity, no one can leave Huang Zhong!" ”

"All this Jicheng, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight!" Zhang Liao's face was gloomy.

"Not necessarily!"

Tian Feng squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Actually, it's not difficult for us to break Jicheng, it's just that we don't have enough time!" ”

"Wai?"

The corner of Zhang Liao's mouth raised a wry smile: "According to Jicheng, it is indeed a good way!" ”

"That's right, in terms of the terrain of Jicheng, the surrounding emptiness can't withstand the siege of the army, if there is three months, we can besiege them!" Tian Feng sighed: "But now we don't have this time, we can only forcibly break the city!" ”

Once the Mad Lion Legion enters Youzhou, this blitzkrieg will become a protracted battle, and it is unknown whether the Wei army will have a chance of winning at that time.

"Yuan Hao, do you have a way to lure them out?" Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with a touch of heat, and he hurriedly asked,

"It's hard!"

Hearing this, Tian Feng's eyes moved slightly, and he thought about it for a while before saying: "But I can give it a try, what the Wu army in the city is most looking forward to now is that their reinforcements can arrive in time to relieve their encirclement, if there is a reinforcement from the Wu army at this time, use their urgent hearts, maybe they can open the city gate!" ”

"How sure are you?"

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he asked.

"If it's taking advantage of the night, you should be sure of it!" Tian Feng is not very optimistic, after all, the Wu army is strict, and it is so difficult to open the city gate by fraud, he said in a deep voice: "Let General Yu Ban strengthen the attack, only by suppressing the will of the soldiers in the city a little tighter, our chances of success can be greater, and then choose a city gate that is not guarded by the main general, and take a city gate with the trend of reinforcements from the north!" ”

"You do it right away!"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "I don't reverse others, you go in person!" ”

"No!"

Tian Feng nodded, he just wanted to go down, but he thought about a question and added: "General, I always feel a little unstable on the second prince's side!" ”

"Cao Zihuan is a good general, but he has little experience and still needs some sharpening!" Zhang Liao said lightly: "As long as he can block the port, he will go to the rest!" ”

"Yes!"

Tian Feng understood what Zhang Liao meant, and it was best for them, the ministers who held power and influenced national policies, not to get involved in the rivalry between the Cao brothers.

——————————————————

The northern part of Youzhou, the border between Dai County and Shanggu County.

In the first battle of Daixian, Cao Xing was defeated and Lejin was attacked, he suffered heavy casualties under the strong attack of tens of thousands of elite Wei troops in Lejin, and then he could only lead the remnants of the 18th Army to break through and retreat all the way north.

But the Wei army still pursued hard.

Under the pursuit of the Wei army, they went very hastily, going north from Dai County, and to the north, which was regarded as fleeing.

"Where are you now?"

Cao Xuan pulled the reins of the horse, looked at the surrounding sand dunes, and asked.

"Commander, you've entered Pan County!"

"Pan County, in the past, it was Zhuolu, Chief of Staff, don't let me down, immediately send an order to go down and expedite the march!"

Cao Xuan seemed to be able to hear the sound of the horses' hooves of the Wei army behind him, and hurriedly shouted: "Before it gets dark, you must walk through Pan County, Pan County is just a small adobe city, it is not enough to stop the Wei army, and rush to Zhuolu City as soon as possible!" ”

"No!"

The generals took orders and hastened the march.

Behind the ranks of the Wu army, less than twenty miles away, the soldiers and horses that had been imposing like a rainbow were marching, and the banners of the Wei army were flying in the wind, among which the main flag, a big battle flag with a musical character, was in the forefront.

"General, the trail of Wu Jun has been found ahead!" Scout debriefing.

"Good!"

When Le Jin heard this, he looked overjoyed: "Let the cavalry chase up, be sure to leave this Wu army, don't let them go south to Jicheng, they must be annihilated!" ”

"Yes!"

"General, will it be too risky for us to go deep into the northern frontier of Youzhou now?" A steady general said in a low voice.

"The Wu army's forces are all pressed on Jicheng, what do we have to fear!"

Le Jin's eyes were shining, his expression was calm, and a suppressed sharp spirit burst out: "At this moment, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, annihilate this Wu army, and never sell the reputation of the overlord, Youzhou has become the trend of the times, it must be the victory of my Great Wei, we can't watch Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Xiaowei make contributions, and we sit back and watch the battle, only by winning the eighteenth army of the Blood Wolf Legion, we can be regarded as making Zuo Shanwei famous!" ”

"No!"

When the generals heard this, their blood was surging, and they didn't have so many worries, after all, they had been guarding Montenegro all these years, and they had been very aggrieved, and they would naturally not back down if they had a chance to play. (To be continued.) )
