Chapter 585 Kna Million Yuzhou Island
Yuan Shao's twin tigers knocked Yan Liang and Wen Chou into the East China Sea!
Cao Cao's general, Xiahou Yuan, occupied Qi County, Hexiang, Changxi, Yinping, and Cheng County in Donghai County. The army is heading towards Qu County!
Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shu, had already captured Haixi, the easternmost part of Guangling County, only twenty miles away from Donghai County!
Liu Yan's general Pan Feng bypassed Xiapi and took a good path, and he had already hit the Houqiu thirty miles away in the East China Sea!
............
One after another of the burning information was sent to the head of the Mi Mansion in Qu County, so that Mi Zhu, a scribe who has always paid attention to grooming and demeanor, actually scolded his mother, Mi Zhu seemed to be influenced by Zhao Xing, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yan, I greet your eight ancestors!"
It's no wonder that Mi Zhu is angry, it's really because after a group of wolves broke into the East China Sea, most of the industries occupied by his Mi family belonged to his family, and most of the wealth looted was obtained by the local people from trading with the Jin State, as Zhao Xing's eldest brother, he worked hard for so many years, and let the senior officials of the Minister of Finance of the Jin State not do it, in order to accumulate some more capital for his brother-in-law to dominate the world. Now the four powers are like hyenas that smell meat, gathering together to break into the East China Sea, seeing the wealth accumulated by hard work being plundered, Mi Zhu's heart is really sad and aggrieved.
Mi Fang comforted her brother and said, "Brother, why are you so angry. We started to transfer our property and people to Yuzhou Island three months ago, and now we have a little scrap left for these bandits, which is not a pity!"
Mi Zhu rolled his eyes, glared at his brother, and said: "You know what a fart! Now that Guochang's brother-in-law is using troops on the eastern and western fronts, he will soon have to make a move against Gongsun Du in Liaodong, and the two rich territories of Qingzhou and Xuzhou have been occupied by Yuan Cao's confluence, and there will be more and more places to use money in the future.
After listening to Mi Zhu's complaints honestly, he said: "Brother, now that the four powers are about to arrive in Qu County, it is obviously difficult to hold here, will we contact the sailors stationed on Yuzhou Island tomorrow, and the whole clan will begin to move to the island?"
"Well, it's time, I'm afraid there will be trouble if I don't leave. Tell the clansmen to take all the valuable items with you, and it's okay to leave the rest behind, we will have to come back sooner or later anyway!" Mi Zhu nodded and said.
At noon on the second day, the people in the city of Qu County followed the Mi family towards the wharf to the east. Although the Mi brothers did not encourage the local people to follow them to hide on Yuzhou Mountain Island on the other side of the strait, the people who have been deeply favored by the Mi family over the years and have lived a prosperous life still chose to follow.
The people have secretly inquired, and the Yuzhou Island opposite is quite large, and it is now covered with various houses, which are said to be able to accommodate the garrison of 100,000 troops of the Jin State Navy. What everyone thought in their hearts was that instead of waiting for the robbers to come and plunder, it was better to follow the Mi family to hide on Yuzhou Island, and if it was really not possible, they would move north to the north of Jizhou by boat, buy a large piece of land, and become a farmer in a beautiful way, where there are now a large number of barren fields, which can feed many families.
The Jin State Naval Division, which had already prepared for the ferry, nearly 100 large transport ships were neatly moored on the sea not far from the Quxian Wharf, and three ships had been docked end to end on the wharf.
The officers and soldiers of the sailor division who were responsible for transporting the people and goods saw that the Mi family had arrived with the people, so they organized the people to line up to board the ship according to their deployment duties, and when a transport ship was fully loaded, they immediately untied the cable and sailed quickly towards Yuzhou Island on the opposite side. After the empty boat in the distance saw the gap on the dock, it followed and berthed, and so on and so forth, until all the people of the Mi family and the hundreds of thousands of people in Qu County were transferred to Yuzhou Island.
Two days later, Wen Chou led 20,000 men and horses to rush into the city of Qu County from the north, only to find that it was only an empty city, and in despair, he immediately ordered the men and horses to pursue the sea east of Qu County, only to see an empty dock and a faint island in the distance.
Immediately after Zhang Xun led 20,000 horses from the south to fight, but did not encounter the slightest obstacle and resistance, and when he came to the city of Qu County, he saw that Wen Chou had taken the lead in occupying the county seat, so he shouted outside the city, "Everyone has money", and actually asked Wen Chou to open the city gate and let Yuan Shujun enter the city.
Wen Chou, who was depressed, simply ignored Zhang Xun and let him entangle outside the city. Not long after, his own soldiers came to report, saying that Xiahou Yuan with one road and Pan Feng led another road of people and horses also rushed to the city, and now there are three troops and fifty or sixty thousand people gathered outside Qu County, all shouting to enter the city.
Wen Chou said distraughtly: "Since they all think that Lao Tzu has made a fortune in Qu County, then let the rest of the three armies enter the city, and let them see what other valuable things are in the city than the dog tian!"
Then Cao Cao, Liu Yan and Yuan Shu entered the city of Qu County, only to find that in addition to the people brought by Wen Chou, Qu County had already become an empty city. Apart from the immovable things such as houses, which remained in their place, the people of the city did not even leave them a single chicken, let alone food and goods.
The leaders of several armies came to see Wen Chou angrily, and when everyone met, they learned that the people of Qu County had now moved to the island in the east of the sea. So some people proposed to temporarily make wooden boats and cross the sea to attack Yuzhou Island, but they were strongly opposed by Wen Chou and Xiahou Yuan.
Wen Chou said: "I came to Qu County first, if you want to cross the sea, you should go by yourself, don't harm me, but this Qu County is to be zoned to the territory of my lord!"
Xiahou Yuan said: "There is obviously a Jin naval division stationed on the opposite side, how can the wooden boats we made temporarily resist the Jin naval army? ”
Come with the excitement and return with the defeat. Several coalition forces then put all the nameless fire in their hearts on the head of Tao Qian in Xiapi City, after some discussion, everyone decided to wave their division back to Xiapi, and jointly launched a siege battle, each army is responsible for a city gate, the first army to attack the city can get the greatest return, if only one army has attacked Xiapi, then Xiapi City belongs to it.
Yuan Shaojun wanted to take Xiapi as the seat of administration for the new territory and completely get rid of the pursuit of the Jin army in the north; Cao Cao's army wanted to occupy Xiapi and extend the tentacles of the south to the south of the Yangtze River; Liu Yanjun wanted to attack Xiapi City and loot a lot of money and eat a round belly; Yuan Shujun wanted to earn Xiapi as a bridgehead in the north of Yangzhou, so that he could advance and retreat more freely in the future.
Each family has its own calculations, and it seems that the reasons are sufficient, but is Picheng really so easy to attack now?
