Chapter 465: Vertical and Horizontal

After a day of Yecheng attack and defense, the stench of bloody burning was filled with heaven and earth. Outside the four sides of Yecheng, there is green smoke, and from the outside, it seems that the whole city is smoking.

Qin Feng and Xu Shu went down to the city and walked on the way home, the two of them talked, turning sideways from time to time to make way for the wounded soldiers. Qin Feng always stepped forward to comfort every wounded soldier, and it was their hard work that brought about the victory of defending the city today.

Although the wounded soldiers could not help but cry out in pain, their faces were still resolute.

The area near the city walls is a little chaotic for the time being, full of fire brigades, and first aid teams everywhere. A Red Cross medic with a red cross strapped to his arm, shuttling constantly. Qin Feng supported the medical school established by Hua Tuo, which played a huge role at this time.

At this moment, Hua Tuo is in the hospital with his most proud protΓ©gΓ©s, treating the seriously injured. With this originator of surgery, he has saved the lives of too many Qin soldiers. These warriors who came back from the death line will be the mainstay of the Qin army in the future.

"To award a medal, a medal of valor, to every wounded soldier. Every meritorious soldier and their family members should enjoy special treatment, such as tax reduction and exemption, and you should be responsible for this matter. Qin Feng said.

The medal system, which has never had such a precedent before, will greatly stimulate the sense of honor of the soldiers, and Qin Feng is especially equipped with local policies to eliminate the worries of soldiers and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

The Qin army began to use the medal system of later generations, and the army's sense of honor was enhanced, and its combat effectiveness was improved.

"Medal system!" Xu Shu admired it to the extreme.

Qin Feng and the others stayed away from the city wall area all the way, but they saw that all the houses near the city wall were engulfed in flames, and tens of thousands of people were displaced, and thousands of people were killed or wounded.

These people were urgently placed in the homes of other people far from the city walls.

It's hot and humid in the summer, but it's cool outside at night. Many of the wounded among the people rested in the streets.

When Qin Feng passed by, the people saluted one after another.

"Master Hou, please destroy Lu Bu and take revenge." The people suffered, but they didn't resent Qin Feng at all. It was Qin Feng who brought them a happy life. And the jackals outside are watching their homes, and the people are gritting their teeth and wanting to fight the jackals.

Popular hearts are available.

Without the help of the people, the war cannot be won.

Qin Feng said earnestly: "Go into battle to kill the enemy, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Even the wounded among the people said categorically. They have a hard-won life, these are all given by Qin Feng, and they will fully support Qin Feng and defend their hard-won homeland.

Qin Feng's efforts have borne fruit, and with the support of the people, who are you afraid of?

Xu Shu was in awe of the power of benevolence, "My lord, a large number of weapons were captured in today's battle, and there are also stocks in the treasury, which are distributed to the people, and with a little training, you can go to the city to fight." ”

Defending the city is much simpler than field warfare, and you can go into battle with a little training, but Qin Feng will not be limited to this, he ordered: "Recruit strong and strong overnight, go to the city during wartime, practice more in your spare time, and tell the people that Benhou will not give up, and no one can give up." ”

On the second day, 10,000 strong people came to the city to fight, and although they were on the front for the first time, they fought from the bottom of their hearts to give them the courage that did not belong to real warriors. In time, each of them will become elite warriors.

With the addition of these civilians, the Qin army's defense line became thicker, and the garrison increased dramatically.

Lu Bu under the city was a little dumbfounded for a while, "There are even more Qin troops at the head of the city than yesterday?" How powerful Lu Bu's eyes were, he immediately found something, and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be the people, Qin Zijin must have jumped off the wall in a hurry, coercing the people to help the war and be cannon fodder." ”

Lu Bu thinks this because the people never take the initiative to join the battle, they are all forced, and there is usually a beheading team to supervise the cannon fodder team.

However, Chen Gong didn't think so, he could see the anger and hatred for his own side from the expressions of the people. The people who have these are not ordinary people, and the advantage of occupying the city will cause great damage to their own side.

In fact, Lu Bu's onslaught yesterday consumed a large amount of siege materials, such as flints and rockets. These materials take time to manufacture, and today Lu Bujun's inventory is running out. Lu Bu forcibly attacked, just because he didn't give Qin Feng a chance to breathe.

However, now that the Qin army has received the help of the people, its combat effectiveness has increased. For Lu Bujun, if they continue to attack, it will be detrimental to them.

Chen Gong said: "These people are not ordinary cannon fodder people, and our army cannot easily attack. Why not rest for a few days, on the one hand, build a siege company camp to cut off the connection between Yecheng and the outside world. On the one hand, siege equipment was made, and with sufficient materials and equipment, the enemy could not move, allowing our army to attack. ”

Lu Bu went from a lost dog to a prince, all relying on Chen Gong. Lu Bu obeyed him, not to mention that Chen Gong's strategy was very good. Fence up and beat the opponent, everyone is willing to do such a thing. Therefore, Lu Bu used the advantage of military strength to build a joint camp to besiege Yecheng on the one hand, and to produce siege materials on the other.

Qin Jun side.

The enemy was cunning and did not attack, but instead besieged the city for a long time, Qin Feng felt lost. This mode of warfare, even if he wins in the end, will deal a devastating blow to the economic production under his rule. What's more, Qin Feng couldn't see any hope of victory at the moment.

"Don't worry, my lord, if you can connect Uncle Liu Yu and General Cao Mengde, the momentum of the three families can be broken." Xun Yu encouraged.

Now, Qin Feng could only hope for the support of Liu Yu and Cao Cao, and it was really dangerous for him to face the attacks of the three families alone. But he will not put all his wealth on others, since Lu Bu will not attack the city for the time being, Qin Feng ordered to strengthen the city defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, select 10,000 strong people from the people to practice day and night.

On the other hand, Qin Feng's envoy, Tian Feng, arrived in Jixian County.

When Tian Feng first arrived in Jixian County, he was quite surprised, he saw the shadow under the rule of the lord in the prosperous county town of Jixian County and the satisfied appearance of the people, and couldn't help but sigh to the servants: "Uncle Liu Yuhuang is an elder who is benevolent and virtuous, and his name is well deserved." ”

Liu Yu is benevolent and loved by the people. But Liu Yu's wrist was a little soft, he had the opportunity to submit Gongsun Zhan, but he let Gongsun Chan become bigger. The more powerful Gongsun Chan is, the more unruly he becomes, and the brutal situation is very inconsistent with Liu Yu, and he often has the heart to annex Liu Yu.

In the conference hall, Liu Yu cordially received Tian Feng, accompanied by Yan Rou and Tian Chou, members of Youzhou.

When Tian Feng saw Liu Yu for the first time, he saw that he was dressed plainly and there were patches, and he couldn't help but sigh, the name of benevolence and simplicity was not false.

Tian Feng euphemistically expressed his intentions, and finally said: "My lord has Han Jizhou to make Xian the state pastor, and Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Gongsun Zan are ambitious and provoke wars. Uncle Huang is an elder who is benevolent, hoping that Uncle Huang can save the people of Jizhou from hanging upside down and restrain Sun Zhan, who is too shou of Beiping. ”

Gongsun Zhan is the Taishou of Beiping, but Liu Yu's subordinates went to Jizhou to do evil. This made Liu Yu angry, and very embarrassed and ashamed.

Tian Chou has long persuaded Liu Yu that Gongsun Zan is good and evil, and should be guarded against and contained. Liu Yu was benevolent, Gongsun Chan didn't make a move when he was innocent, Gongsun Chan was huge, so he showed a hideous appearance, and Liu Yu couldn't find a good opportunity to do it.

At this moment, Tian Chou found that the opportunity had come, and said: "Gongsun Zan joined the Dong Alliance, at first glance, he was for the country and the people, but in fact he was selfish. This year, he did all kinds of evil in Beiping, and filled his own pockets among the brutal people. Now, he has crossed the border to attack the champion Hou, and the wolf's ambition is obvious, and it is time not to do it. ”

Yan Rou, another member of Liu Yu's subordinates, grew up on the grassland, which is quite in line with Liu Yu's concept of treating the border clan well. And Gongsun Zhan is to kill and kill, the border clan also kills, and the Han people also kill. Yan Rou followed and said: "Gongsun Zhan is a poor soldier, just like Dong Zhuo back then, if he is not treated early, there will never be peace in the north." ”

Dong Zhuo is on the border, and Gongsun Zan is also on the border, which is really similar.

Tian Feng's heart was relieved, and it seemed that Liu Yu's reinforcements were hopeful.

Liu Yu lived a simple life, was lenient and benevolent in government, and appeased the people, while Gongsun Chan did the opposite, and the two sides were already at odds. Liu Yu's temperament, how can he sit back and watch Gongsun Zan commit violence. What's more, Liu Yu blamed himself, it was precisely because of his connivance that Gongsun Chan rose.

Liu Yu sat in Youzhou for many years, and there were soldiers and horses, so he dispatched Yan Rou and Tian Chou to command 50,000 Youzhou troops to go to the Zhongshan Army to support the Qin army in wartime.

Tian Feng thanked Liu Yu for his help on behalf of Qin Feng, and with the reinforcements along the way, Gongsun Zhan's enemy army along the way was no longer afraid.

On the other hand, almost at the same time, Fu Zhu came to Chen Liu.

Chenliu County has a small population, the county seat is deserted, and the people live in hardship. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains suffered the most serious disaster, except for Xuzhou, which was not broken by the Yellow Turbans, the situation of all counties and counties was roughly the same, the population was sparse, and it was not very prosperous. This is a legacy problem after the yellow scarf, and no one can solve it in a short time.

In the conference hall, Cao Cao summoned Fu Zhu, and Guo Jia and Cheng Yu accompanied him.

When Cao Cao saw the frustration come in, he laughed heroically and got up to greet him, "Listen to the name of the prince, I am fortunate to meet the captain today, there is no need to be formal, please." ”

"Cao Gong." frustrated and bowed, sat down, and saluted Guo Jiacheng Yu, and the two returned the salute.

Cao Cao got the hegemony of Gunzhou, he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Gonghe is under the command of my son Jinxian, come to Cao here today, I don't know what to teach?" ”

Cao Cao actually asked knowingly, he had already received detailed information, and the three families of Yuan Gong and Lu joined forces to besiege Qin Feng in Jizhou. "Hmph, it's probably my son Jin Xian who can't stand it and comes to ask me for help." Cao Cao began to ponder, whether to save or not to save, is there any benefit?

Frustrated and not humble or arrogant, he said: "Yuan Benchu, Gongsun Zhan, and Lu Bu are unjust, and they raise troops to disturb my Jizhou." Now Uncle Liu Yu of Youzhou has sent troops to support, although my lord and Cao Gong are not as good as Qin and Jin, but they are also suitable for brothers-in-law. If you can get Cao Gong's help to defeat Yuan Shao, I am grateful. ”

In fact, Fu Zhu didn't know whether Liu Yu sent troops, and he brought it up just to increase the strength of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy, and he couldn't see through his mind in awe. (To be continued.) )
