Chapter 126: Three Months

It's August 193 now, and it's not far from September. The pollution is not serious in these years, and the atmosphere is not too badly damaged, so it is still very cold in winter.

In another three months or so, most areas north of the Yellow River, and even central China, will experience sub-zero temperatures. As for Xuzhou, Jingzhou, a few areas of Yuzhou and other southern prefectures and counties, although they are not necessarily frozen, the temperature is also surprisingly low.

In such weather, it is almost impossible to send troops, and the non-war attrition alone is a huge number. In this era when there was no cotton, it was definitely taboo for soldiers to send troops in winter, and in the final analysis, it was not a matter of wearing a few more linen clothes.

In fact, the weather starts to get colder in September, but if you add an extra piece of clothing, you can make do with the battle. If you don't fight after the autumn harvest, it's actually a dive in some places. The rules, but if they go the other way, they can't have the effect of a surprise attack, so as long as it's possible, then there's a value of vigilance.

Fang Yun actually didn't know that the alliance of the princes might not be the first to attack.

For example, although the princes began to form an alliance in 190, they were dissolved until the next year, that is, in 191. And when the alliance was formed, it was not said that as soon as the alliance was formed, it was directly launched to attack.

The soldiers need to be assembled, the materials need to be prepared, and even the problems in the rear must be arranged, who knows if there are any shameless ones, who will directly take advantage of their own outings to take their lair.

This alliance of the princes is somewhat similar to the historical princes to discuss Dong, the difference is that most of the Kwantung princes are in a weak stage, and there are not many soldiers who can be mobilized, plus they have to ensure the security of the rear, so they cannot send troops.

Unless, Fang Yun opened the portal and let them attack freely, it could almost be said to be safe. There is really only one prince who sends troops at such a time, and that is Yuan Shu!

Yuan Tan took the remnants of Yuan Shao into Qingzhou. After a brief rest here, he expanded his army to about 30,000 men and continued south. Although Yuan Shao is dead, Yuan Tan is his eldest son. Then it is naturally no problem for the son to inherit his father's business, and after using Yuan Valve's resources, he consumed a lot of favor, and at least replenished the troops.

These are the favors accumulated by the fathers, and they are used a little less. It was originally used to facilitate Yuan Shao to become emperor, but now it is used by Yuan Tan in this kind of place. But things have come to this point, it is almost impossible for Yuan Shao to become the emperor, maybe Yuan Shu still has a chance, right?

Not long ago, Yuan Tan entered the Huainan region with these 30,000 troops and arrived at Shouchun to join Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu also learned that Yuan Shao had been killed, and for this cousin who had competed with him for many years, after knowing that he was dead, all resentment disappeared. Now that there is no resentment. So for these nephews of his own, he is naturally lenient.

Yuan Tan was also knowledgeable, and did not force the control of these 30,000 horses, which made Yuan Shu very satisfied, but in order to appease them, he still kept 10,000 horses for them, including 7,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 horse troops. Don't be too little, there is a shortage of horses these years.

You must know that Sun Ce is under Yuan Shu's command. It can only command 5,000 troops, and there are almost no cavalry. Fortunately, when Yuan Shu announced this order, Sun Ce was ordered to attack Liu Xuan, otherwise I really don't know if he would be angry to death.

For Yuan Shao's death. Yuan Tan also kept crying with his two younger brothers, Yuan Shu also hated Fang Yun originally, and he was inevitably a little angry at this moment, thinking: How can my Yuan Valve's people be killed by you as a bitch?

happened to come with the news that Liu Xie had hanged himself, and Cheng Bing, Yuan Shu's strategist, proposed: "Why don't you come to ask for a prince again!" ”

Yuan Shu was immediately shocked and immediately agreed to this proposal. Yes. He is the direct initiator of this Lianheng. Interestingly, Liu Bei and Cao Cao actually responded to this proposal for the first time.

Not long after, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao and Liu Yan also sent people to convey their willingness to form an alliance, so the alliance was formed. As for Shixie in Jiaozhou, it doesn't matter if he participates or not, how much food can be paid in the wild land of Jiaozhou? No one counted on it!

When the princes met and attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, so Yuan Shu also wanted to be the leader of the alliance this time. In fact, everyone knows that being the leader of the alliance is a very bitter thing, Cao Cao and Liu Bei still wish he would jump out, so naturally they also shouted one after another: "Meet the leader of the alliance!" ”

Yuan Shu's self-esteem has been greatly satisfied, and what was robbed by Yuan Shao before seems to have been found now.

Since he is the leader of the alliance, he naturally has to show something, so he ignored the advice of Feng Ji and Guo Tu, who had just become his masterminds, and brazenly raised 30,000 troops and went north to attack Pi County and Guangling County.

At that time, it was Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao who served as the Taishou of Guangling, and he was originally going to crusade against Dong Zhuo with his brother. However, because the Yellow Turban Army took away a large number of people and money and food, Zhang Miao couldn't go. He Zhang Chao simply did not raise troops, and continued to serve as a taishou in Guangling County, which was actually an independent warlord.

For Tao Qian's state assassin history, he naturally listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement, or even neither listened to the tune nor the announcement. Considering that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Tao Qian endured it. Moreover, he also needed a buffer zone to fend off the enemy from the southern region, then Liu Xuan, and now Yuan Shu.

This time, Yuan Shu set out, mainly to attack Guangling County. The officials of Xiapi County were all appointed by him, and there were no soldiers stationed in the city, so according to his wishes, they could be allowed to hold out for a period of time, and Guangling County could be defeated in more than ten days. When the time comes, the army will come with a big victory, and the thieves will not quit obediently?

He didn't know that on Peijun's side, Fang Yun had already secretly sent people to send more than fifty thunderbolts, as well as more than thirty other siege equipment, and even more than ten imitations of the Eight Ox Crossbows.

Yuan Shu raised troops, and the Han Soul Organization immediately passed the news to the generals of Xiapi County and Pei County.

Zhang He gave an order, and directly began to conquer the counties of Xiapi County, because there were only some young men in the city who were temporarily recruited, so it didn't take much effort to directly recover all the counties of Xiapi.

Most of the people appointed by Yuan Shu are children of the family, and as long as the family background is sufficient, they can take office, which can actually be regarded as a return of favors. Those who had invested in his family were politically invested, and he used this means to compensate others. It's just that these children of the family themselves don't have any discipline, let alone know how to be loyal, so when the army is pressing, they almost ignore Yuan Shu's order to resist.

Those who have a sense of loyalty will resist a little and then surrender; Almost always surrender when they see the enemy coming; As for the few who did not have discipline, they surrendered directly when they heard that the enemy army was coming.

The army almost didn't spend much effort to recover Xiapi County, Zhang He was speechless, and couldn't help but complain to the cronies next to him: If the Han officials are all so virtuous, I am afraid that the Hu people can run horses in the land of China......

In fact, he was not wrong, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, under the leadership of He Yan, he led a trend of weakness and consumption of Wushisan. In those years, the scribes were still ruling on horseback, and they were proud to wield their swords to kill the enemy when they got on their horses, but at that time they became weak and could not help but become windy. In addition to the population problem, the problems of the times at that time were more or less indirect factors.

In other words, Zhang He at this time can actually be regarded as a prophetic emperor, but fortunately, history is different.

At the same time, Yuan Shu had just attacked Guangling County, and had just besieged Guangling City, just waiting for the capture of Taishou Zhang Chao in the city, and Guangling County was almost within reach. But I didn't want to, there was news from Xiapi County, and the whole territory was actually captured by Fang Yun!

Yuan Shu, who was originally triumphant, suddenly became angry, and fell into the room for nearly a quarter of an hour. As for the county orders of the counties of Xiapi County, together with the families behind them, they were also scolded.

"Don't be nervous, everything is just expected. The top priority is to first conquer Guangling County, and then attack Pi County! Not to mention whether Fang Yunjun can be defeated in one fell swoop, it only needs to be put in a stalemate, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao are not fools. "Fortunately, Feng Ji also knew that he saw the stitches, and immediately stepped forward to admonish.

"Okay, let him jump for a while!" When Yuan Shu heard this, his mood was a little better.

At the same time, Fang Yun's supply troops went south again, and at this moment they had arrived in the territory of Xuzhou Lang Evil Kingdom. This batch of supplies not only included 5,000 soldiers and soldiers, but also a large amount of armament, grain, grass and daily necessities. Even military doctors and medicines have been delivered.

It is worth mentioning that after experiencing the rescue of Nanpi, Hua Tuo locked himself in the research department. According to him, to find a way to treat the inflammation of the wound, Fang Yun told him: "You can try Penicillium." ”

As for whether he will develop penicillin, or make something else, it is not clear.

Three days later, Guangling County announced that it had been broken, and Zhang Chao broke through with a small number of troops and went to seek refuge with his brother Zhang Miao. Yuan Shu quickly took over the other counties of Guangling County, and at the same time, he was also actively preparing to attack Xiapi County or Donghai County.

The materials on Fang Yun's side also happened to be sent to Pei County, and Gao Shun sent someone to take them over.

What followed was an instruction from Fang Yun, and it was also their main task arrangement this year: to break Yuan Shu's finger and hold the two counties until December! To put it simply, it is to focus on defense, and look for fighters to attack a certain main force of Yuan Shu, and strive for total annihilation.

This question is not difficult, at least not in Gao Shun's opinion. However, this is not for him to decide alone, after all, it is Zhang He who is really in charge, and he can only give the order to Zhang He at most, and then he will decide how to deal with this matter.

At this moment, it is already around the middle of October, and there are less than two months until December!

Don't look at the time is running out, but the outbreak of a war, the process is so rapid and violent, it often only takes two or three days to complete, and more than two months is not guaranteed! (To be continued.) )

PS: The key to victory and defeat is in this three-month period!

There is nothing to do with penicillin research, and there are also historical materials that show that there are records of the use of mold to treat wounds in ancient China; In fact, Ge Hong also developed a method of using penny to treat malaria, but penicin was only refined in modern times......
