When the news of the rapid suppression of the rebellion of Pan Lin and others in Eastern Wu reached Yecheng, Cao Rui's eyelids jumped, and Chen Qun and other important ministers were also keenly aware that they seemed to be aware of the rebellion within the Wu State. But before they had time to arrange a defensive front, the news of Wu's large-scale northern expedition and Shu Hantun Bingtongguan spread all over the north and south of the river.

This time, Wu did not do any secrecy work, but went north with great fanfare, not only did the army march with open fire, Qiao Ren also deliberately sent countless fine works to go deep into the hinterland of Cao Wei to promote Wu Guojunwei and Qiao Ren's new policy. All this is nothing to the family, and even Qiao Ren's new policy is quite resistant to the family. But Qiao Ren's target was not the family, but those Cao Wei's tuntian households.

Cao Wei's tuntian households are even more miserable than the hidden households of the family, and Cao Wei's tuntian has two kinds: Mintun and Juntun. Every 50 people in Mintun are 1 tun, and Sima is placed in the tun, and the general of the Diannong is placed on it, and the Diannong Zhonglang will be placed on it, and it is not affiliated with the county. The harvest is divided with the state: those who use official cattle, official 6 people 4; Those who use private cattle are divided equally between the government and the people. Tuntian peasants are not allowed to leave Tuntian casually. The army is based on soldiers, 60 people are 1 battalion, and they are guarding the field on the other hand. Tuntian has played an important role in the resettlement of displaced people, the reclamation of wasteland, and the restoration of agricultural production. However, the exploitation of the tuntian system was heavier, the tuntian peasants were bound to the land, their identities were not free, and the tuntian soldiers were more difficult, and with the rise of the Cao Wei family, these tuntian were gradually annexed by the family, and many tuntian households have become landless people or slaves of the family.

At this time, the attraction of Wu's new policy to them can be imagined, ten taxes and two, household and people, and a poll tax that can not be less, as long as there is one and a half acres of land in Wu, they can live without being bound by others.

When the rumors in the hinterland of Cao Wei continued, Cao Rui, who had a headache, had no choice but to let it go, because it was the Northern Expedition army of Wu that he had to deal with in front of him. Fortunately, Cao Rui is still a soldier in the end. Although he got the news a little late, he still responded. He also understands strategy and knows that Wanluo is too deeply entangled, and Wu Guo will definitely not attack, and even if necessary, it is just a show, otherwise how could Qiao Ren take his Chinese army to Shouchun. Therefore, after gathering the opinions of the ministers, Cao Rui responded, and used Yuzhou Assassin Shi Manzhong as the general of Zhendong to supervise the Yuzhou and Yanzhou armies to prevent Shouchun; In addition, Cao Hong, a major minister of the clan who was suppressed by his father, was reactivated, worshiped him as a hussar general, supervised Yangzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and part of the Central Army to garrison troops in Mount Tai, and at the same time transferred the Wuqiu Jian Department in Youzhou to Cao Hong's command. He ordered Hua Xin and Wang Su to be military advisors, and the veteran Jia Kui was supplemented to prepare to block the Wu army near Taishan Kingdom.

The reason why Cao Rui dared to transfer the soldiers and horses of Youzhou was that he saw that Gongsun Gong was a soft egg, and he didn't even dare to do cheap things, even if he was now nominally a minister of Wu State, it was only in name. He would definitely not send troops to Youzhou on the military orders of Wu State, so he dispatched more than 20,000 elite soldiers from Youzhou to the south to prepare to resist the enemy in Qingzhou.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Qiao County. It's not just a county seat. In the third year of Emperor Wen of Wei, he took Qiaocheng as the accompanying capital, and Chang'an, Xuchang, Luoyang, and Ye were called the "five capitals". Qiao County is the place of Cao's Longxing and the imperial hometown of Wei, but this important city was exposed to the flames of war due to the incompetence of the descendants, disturbing the peace of the ancestors.

After the rout of Cao Xiu. The forward position of Wei to block the Wu army was set up in Qiao County. Now the Yuzhou Assassin Shi Zuo General Manzhong, the Yanzhou Assassin Shi Jianwu General Wang Ling, and the Yang Lie General who was washed away by the water in Xiapi but did not die, and the Xuzhou Assassin Wang Chang led the troops to camp here. Although there are soldiers and horses led by the history of the three states, the actual number is only about 20,000, and it is not very elite. There's no way, who called the essence of Wei Guo was divided between Cao Zhen and Sima Yi!

At this time, Qiao Ren's fleet had not yet reached Shouchun. However, Sun Shao's army has pressed into Qiao County. It is impossible for Qiao Ren not to know the truth of the speed of the soldiers, if he waited until Qiao Ren came to Shouchun from Jianye, the deployment of Wei would probably have been in place, and it was not the style of Wu to fight in a real way, so as early as when Qiao Ren came out of Jianye, he ordered the three armies to attack Wei. Sun Shao came out of Shouchun to threaten Qiao County, and Dai Gang attacked Mount Tai in Pengcheng, but only Lu Xun played soy sauce in Fancheng.

However, after Sun Shao arrived outside Qiao County, he tried to attack several times, and then he died down, handed over the camp to George, who came to help in the war, and led an army of 10,000 to wander around Runan County. However, in addition to the army of Qiao County, Lü Qian also led 10,000 cavalry to walk on the flank.

At this time, Qiao County and the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city looked a little respectful. After George outside the city took over the Wu army camp, he did not let the army attack Qiao County easily, after all, they had attacked several times under the command of Sun Shao before, and they did not take any advantage. And as the first battle and a partial general commanding tens of thousands of troops, George himself was panicked.

But there was no way, who let Sun Shao whimsically hand over the camp outside the city to George, and he took 10,000 troops to attack Runan on the flank. But fortunately, Sun Shao didn't completely care, at least left Liu Xun as his deputy to help George, but Liu Xun, who had been promoted to General Pingbei, was George's deputy, and some people couldn't look at it. But when they thought of it, George's identity was dumbfounded, who called Qiao Dasima, the commander of the three-way army of Wu this time, his father, this is a little prince. And although George has no prestige, his martial arts are top-notch, that is, Sun Shao and Hao Zhao are not his opponents, and this alone has a basis for commanding troops in the army with the highest strength.

However, George's caution made several people in the city unable to sit still, in order to prevent the Wu army from bypassing Qiao County and attacking other counties in Yuzhou with the method of suspicious soldiers, Wang Ling, who was still sitting in the city, proposed to take the initiative to attack and explore the truth. But this idea was rejected by the coach as soon as he came out, and the cautious man could not agree to such a risky approach. However, Wang Chang, another assassin, agreed with Wang Ling's meaning a little, and after several arguments, he was a little overwhelmed.

Whether it is to fight or not, for a few people who are guarding in Qiaoxian County, their ultimate goal is to ensure the safety of Qiaoxian County first, if they choose to fight, and Wu Jun is not a suspicious soldier in the later melee time, with the Wu army and horses are overwhelming, it is difficult to guarantee that people will not take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and when the time comes, if the Qiaoxian County is lost, it is too much failure.

And even if you choose to fight and take the initiative to attack, but the strength in the city is limited, how many troops are sent, how much damage can be inflicted on the Wu army, and what kind of fight is the goal, after all, even if all the Wei troops in the city are dispatched, it is impossible to break through the large camp arranged by the Wu army outside the city, even if it is impossible to break through a partial camp located at the south gate.

After all, when they attacked, they couldn't let go of the stability of Qiao County. If you want to go out of the city to attack the Wu army's camp just to explore the truth, it will be a battle of will, and it will always be unprofitable to the overall situation.

Therefore, at this time, Man Chong first asked Wang Ling's true thoughts thoroughly, in fact, for Wang Ling's idea of taking the initiative, Man Chong was also a little hesitant, after all, the battle to defend the city is the most taboo and stuffy battle, just like at this time, the two are looking at each other across the city, but there is no action. It's just that a depressing atmosphere hangs over Qiao County.

The atmosphere in the city is not good, which will naturally gradually affect the soldiers' intention to defend the battle, and then affect other things, but under the chain reaction, it will be a little more harmful in the battle of defending the city.

Of course, there is no problem in this regard for the Wu army camp outside the city, after all, although there is a camp outside the city as the boundary, but there they can drive back and forth and walk freely. Although Lu Qian led 10,000 people to watch from the north of Qiao County, this amount of troops was not enough in front of the Wu army, how could those Wu soldiers and horses be afraid of it

And the Wei army in the city has to take these things into account. When people have something, they may not think of too many other things because of the worries in their minds, but once they rest, they will naturally have some strange thoughts because they have nothing to do.

Man Chong and Wang Ling are also veterans for many years, defending the city, attacking the city, such things have also experienced a lot, but at this time, if it is according to their inherent experience, it is natural to continue to handle the city, after all, as the defender of the city, it is originally a passive party, and it cannot be easily chosen.
