As soon as the hour came, Cao Cao instructed a person behind him: "The hour is coming, let's execute!" ”

"It's noon! Execute! After receiving the order, the man shouted, and the entire execution ground suddenly fell silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

The motionless executioners on the stage began to move, handed over the broadsword to their left hand, and with their right hand, they pulled out the wooden plaque on the head of the yellow turban thieves and threw it away, and then raised the broadsword with both hands and cut it down with one sword. There was a click, and the heads fell to the ground.

The moment the heads hit the ground, screams erupted from among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries around the stands, some of whom perhaps had never seen such a bloody scene. However, for Yang Tian and others, this scene is pediatric, and the bloody Cheng dΓΉ on the battlefield is far from being comparable to the execution ground.

When all the Yellow Turban thieves were beheaded, Cao Cao got up and said, "Watching these stubborn Yellow Turban rebels being beheaded, it's a great joy to see people's hearts!" Ladies and gentlemen, Meng De has already set up a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion, and I invite you to move there. ”

Everyone was not hypocritical, and they got up and walked down the stands.

……

After Yang Tian had lunch, he took Guo Jia and Dong Ming back to Quicksand City. This trip to Puyang can be described as very smooth, and all the predetermined goals have been achieved. Of course, Yang Tian also knew that the reason why it was so smooth this time was that there were also many coincidental factors, first of all, Yuan Shu and Jin Shang attacked Yanzhou, which made Cao Cao feel strong pressure. Secondly, Chen Wen did not show up, so that Yang Tian was exempted from a lot of tongues, and without Chen Wen, the victim, to stir up trouble at the scene, it was naturally inconvenient for others to take the initiative to oppose Yang Tian. It's just that Yang Tian regarded Chen Wen's failure to arrive at the scene as a coincidence. didn't know that it was his revenge against the Hell Guild that scared Chen Wen so much that he didn't dare to come out.

In Quicksand City, Yang Tian and Guo Jia carefully discussed for a while, determined the specific goals of the Baiyun City army in the future, and then Yang Tian and Dong Ming returned to Baiyun City.

During this period of time, Yang Tian was relatively idle, and most of the time he stayed in Baiyun City to cultivate his internal strength. However, when the army of Baiyun City encountered a tough attack in Yangzhou, he would also participate. With more than 10,000 Iron Eagle Warriors joining, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the losses of the White Cloud City army. As for the Iron Eagle Sharps, although there were also casualties. But the number is not large after all. Under the resurrection of the Tower of Reincarnation, these dead Iron Eagle Warriors joined the battlefield again in less than a day.

And due to the continuous battles, the main army of Baiyun City has also been reduced, but during this time. They captured more soldiers from Yangzhou. The original rank of these soldiers was not lower than that of the soldiers of Baiyun City. After Baiyun City's attribute bonus, many soldiers who had reached the A-level qualification were promoted to the eighth rank, and then they were enriched into the main legion. Meantime. With the increase in the level of the city guards, many people have successfully advanced to the eighth rank every day, and they have all been enriched into the main legion. Therefore, although the main army of Baiyun City suffered casualties every day, the number not only did not decrease, but increased slightly.

The player forces of Yizhou are also remarkable in the battle against Yangzhou. After years of training, the combat level of the player's pawns is now on par with that of NPC pawns, and some players who like to fight can even slightly outperform NPC pawns of the same rank. In addition, since players also have different qualifications, the strength of many players with higher qualifications has increased dramatically, which has greatly improved the overall strength of players.

Yang Tian's management policy for player forces is relatively relaxed, as long as he does not become an enemy of Baiyun City and pays taxes on time, Yang Tian will let it develop. Moreover, there are still a lot of discounts for the player forces in Yizhou to buy equipment in Wangtian City, so in terms of equipment level, the players in Yizhou are higher than the average level of the entire Z country region.

The Yangzhou side has experienced several high-intensity battles, the main army has been reduced by more than half, and the land has fallen by more than half again, and now the territory really under the control of Chen Wen is probably not as large as the original Huiji County. Chen Wen felt a little frightened, but his strength was damaged, but he could not gain an advantage on the battlefield. At this time, Chen Wen finally realized the mood of Xu Gong when he gave up the great rivers and mountains of Wu County and transferred all his troops into Wu County, because he was also facing the same situation.

Now there are only two days in front of Chen Wen, one is to fight for every inch of land with Baiyun City, and consume the vitality of Baiyun City. This method sounds good, but Chen Wen knows that this is definitely the most cheating way. This battle has been fought for so long, only to see the army of Baiyun City fighting more and more, which makes people more and more desperate. So Chen Wen has basically given up on this approach.

The second is to transfer all the main forces into Shouchun City. Although the main army of tens of millions suffered losses in the battle with the Baiyun City army, it was a siege, and the Baiyun City side occupied Wu County, which was at the level of a heavy city. Now, if he transferred all the elite troops into Shouchun, the shape would be completely reversed, and he would become the defender of the city, and the army of Baiyun City would become the besieger. The most important thing is that Shouchun is the seat of the state capital of Yangzhou, and it is a city with a hierarchy of capital. In the entire Z country area, there are only more than a dozen capital-level cities. With its twelve zhang high city, plus the five or six million main troops that he still has left, it is extremely difficult for the Baiyun City side to take Shouchun. Of course, Chen Wen also knew that Yang Tian liked the trick of raiding the City Lord's Mansion, so he would inevitably defend the City Lord's Mansion strictly at that time, and Chen Wen was still relatively confident in this.

But there are also disadvantages to defending Shouchun, for example, Yang Tian let the army besiege Shouchun City without attacking, even if Chen Wen now transfers all the grain from the remaining cities in Yangzhou into Shouchun City, I am afraid that the defenders of Shouchun City will hold on for half a year at most. Of course, if Chen Wen is willing to drive out or kill all the people in the entire Shouchun City, this grain will be enough for them to hold out in Shouchun City for more than two years, but if Chen Wen really does this, I am afraid that in the end, even if he guards Shouchun City, he will not do much, and may even be spurned by the whole world.

Just when Chen Wen thought he was cornered, a person came to Shouchun City and asked to meet Chen Wen in person.

After Chen Wen learned the identity of the visitor, he was overjoyed, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. But when Chen Wen met with this person, the expression on his face became gloomy. The man didn't wait for Chen Wen to make a decision, and turned around and left Shouchun City.

After that, Chen Wen was locked in his study alone and thought about it all day, even if someone came to deliver food, he was not allowed in.

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone into Shouchun City, Chen Wen walked out of the study, the expression on his face was very decadent, and it was obvious that he had lost a lot of weight. However, there was a hint of firmness in his eyes, and it seemed that he had decided the path he was about to take.

……

On this day, the Baiyun City soldiers in Yangzhou experienced the most bizarre day, they fought all the way, but they only encountered sporadic resistance, and the remaining soldiers were only four or five order strength, when the Baiyun City army pressed the border, most of them chose to surrender. This is not the most bizarre, in these surrendered towns, the main managers are gone, and the high-ranking life occupations are also taken away, not even a single grain is left in the entire town.

That's right! It's the whole city! Not only in the warehouses of the towns, but also in the homes of the common people, the food was basically checked, except for a very small number of very hidden grains that were not taken away, and the other people's homes were swept like locusts. It is estimated that if it weren't for the time, I'm afraid that the fields outside the city would have been trampled again.

This news quickly reached Yang Tian's ears, and his brows furrowed as a result.

There is no doubt that there is only one explanation for such a situation, and that is that Chen Wen is about to resort to the last resort. And Chen Wen's move is not ruthless, snatching all the food in the town, and all the high-level life occupations are also taken away, completely leaving a mess for Yang Tian to clean up. You must know that there are still two months before the next grain harvest, that is to say, if Yang Tian wants to receive these people, then there must be enough grain for these people to eat for two months.

In the current troubled times, food is a strategic material, and each force will have enough military rations at most, and the others will not be able to take care of it, not that they don't want to buy it, but they can't buy it at all. If Chen Wen had the courage to abandon all the remaining towns in Yangzhou and transport away or destroy all the grain in them, then whoever took over this mess would have to face a food shortage of more than 60 million people. This is not a small amount in any force.

Fortunately, for Baiyun City, the most important thing is food, not to mention that 60 million people only use it for two months, it will increase by two or three times, and Baiyun City will also have enough support. The only thing that made Yang Tian a little depressed was that Chen Wen actually took away the high-level living professions and soldiers in every town, which made Yang Tian a little painful! After all, a high rank symbolizes high qualifications, coupled with the special attribute bonus of Baiyun City, any person in this group may grow into a talent who is in charge of his own affairs, but now it is good, the boiled duck has flew, and it is strange that Yang Tian is not depressed.

Subsequently, Yang Tian summoned Xun Yu and explained this matter to him, and at the same time asked him to organize personnel to assist the main army of the conquest of Yangzhou to settle those newly taken over towns, no matter whether these people's qualifications are high or low, since they have become the leaders of Baiyun City, then Yang Tian cannot give up. Isn't there just no food? Available free of charge in Baiyun City. Don't have a high-level lifestyle occupation to support the town's manufacturing industry? Then Baiyun City dispatched manpower. Anyway, in a word, as much as possible to restore the order of life in these occupied towns. (To be continued)
