Chapter nine hundred and sixty-one first arrived in Yanzhou
Two days later, Sun Ce's army set out for Wujun. Yang Tian sent nearly a hundred Sea King transport ships to send them over... At the same time, Yang Tian received the good news, and Gao Shun had led his army to attack the outskirts of Wuxian. The final decisive battle between Baiyun City and Wujun was almost in front of him.
Although the area of Wu County is not as big as half the size of the original Kuaiji County, it would not be possible to occupy the entire county in just over ten days. The only reason why the two sides can fight so quickly is that Wu County is in the center of Wu County and is very close to Haiyan County. In order to resolve the battle in Wu County as soon as possible, Guo Jia did not allow the army to advance across the board, but instead adopted a straight line assault and fought straight towards Wu County, which was naturally much faster.
According to Guo Jia's plan, it only takes five or six days to conquer Wu County. Now, Sun Ce and others will only take three days to rush from Baiyun City. Sun Ce's army will also participate in the final decisive battle, which is very beneficial for reducing the losses of Baiyun City's army in the siege.
However, Guo Jia was not too optimistic about this battle. He was not worried that Xu Gong could cause any big waves, but someone else.
...
At this time, another expeditionary force in Baiyun City also arrived at its destination. Guo Jia led Zhao Yun and Daniu led a million troops under his command in Yanzhou. This speed may be very slow compared to the flying troops, but if it is compared to the cavalry, it is definitely very fast. After all, the ship sailors are sufficient, and three teams of people sail in turn, so that the fleet travels more than 10,000 kilometers a day. This is a flying troops, and it may not be able to achieve it. After all, the flying troops also need to rest after flying for a distance.
Guo Jia's army followed the Yellow River and landed in the East County of Yanzhou. Yanzhou can now be regarded as the most chaotic county in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the Yellow Turban Army claimed to be the rebel army, after losing the three leaders of Zhang Jiao, this rebel army has become a chaotic army, from top to bottom. The starvation is everywhere, and eating is fully reflected here. Although there is no natural disaster in Yanzhou at this moment, the [***] is more serious than natural disasters. Almost all villages and towns are occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army at this moment has no long-term vision. They only see the immediate interests, burning, killing, looting and doing evil. In this environment, no one can work with peace of mind. Looking around, all the fields are deserted.
Seeing this scene, the members of the two legions were very moved, and at the same time they also made them feel stronger about the maintenance of Baiyun City. If there were no Baiyun City, perhaps their current situation would not be much stronger than the people in front of them, right? Even if they can maintain peace by relying on their own strength, what about their own family? What about their relatives?
Of course, although people like Guo Jia, Daniu, and Zhao Yun do not have the same experience as those ordinary soldiers, they stand at their height and see farther than these soldiers. They know that only by breaking the current chaotic times can they restore peace to the people of the world. But this process requires them to realize it.
Although he has now landed on the shore, Guo Jia did not immediately let the army continue to advance, but instead camped on the spot and sent flying cavalry to the south to detectives. Although they could continue to stay on the ship and wait until the target of the attack was determined before disembarking off the ship, after all, the ship was not as stable as the ground. After more than ten days of voyage, many soldiers were not in good spirits. This is also due to the fact that they were all southerners. If they replaced the landslides from the north and boarded the ship for more than ten days, they might not be able to stand up. What's more, it's already afternoon. Even if they accelerated their march, they would not be able to reach the nearest city.
The flying cavalry moved very quickly and returned in less than two hours. They brought Guo Jia the latest situation within a radius of 1,000 kilometers, which also gave Guo Jia and others a general understanding of the situation in Yanzhou.
Although Guo Jia had learned from Yang Tian that Yanzhou had been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, the news was not comprehensive. Was it completely occupied? Or was it mostly occupied? Although these seem to be trivial matters, it had a great impact on Guo Jia's next arrangement. If it was all occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, it was very simple. Directly command the army to push it in the direction of the densest population, and then rescue the people enslaved by the Yellow Turban Army. Their purpose was achieved. However, if there were official forces in it guarding some towns, Guo Jia had to consider some influence. Whether to persuade or intimidate these people is a question worth pondering. However, one thing is certain, that is, it is absolutely impossible to shine light into their sight. These will be the population of Baiyun City!
Now, Guo Jia has confirmed one thing, that is, Yanzhou is indeed completely in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, at least in the Dongjun in front of him, because all the towns seen by the flying cavalry who went to investigate did not break out in war, but every town was in chaos. The only explanation for this situation is that all these towns fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army. If it weren't for this, the Yellow Turban Army would never allow a town with court power to exist on this land, and it is inevitable that the army would be siege.
After Guo Jia thought for a while, he had a plan in his mind. He called Zhao Yun and Daniu to his side, and after giving them a few instructions, he returned to the camp alone to rest. If he said that the most tired person sailing on the sea after these days, it would be Guo Jia. It would be the best to be able to sleep peacefully now.
Guo Jia went down to rest, but Zhao Yun and Daniu could not rest because Guo Jia had arranged a task for them just now. They each led their most elite troops to rush far away when dusk came. However, the direction they were traveling was not the center of Yanzhou, but along the Yellow River in two different directions.
This is naturally due to Guo Jia's arrangement. The reason for doing this is naturally because there are many villages and towns along the Yellow River. Although the population of these villages and towns is not as good as cities, the combined number is also very considerable. The most important thing is that the Shenfeng Fleet is still above the Yellow River, and the huge Sea King transportation fleet is still waiting to transport a large number of people! In terms of efficiency, only the population plundered from the villages and towns on the bank of the Yellow River can reach the highest level. And when these transport ships are loaded with Yanzhou people to Yizhou, it is not so convenient for Guo Jia and others. It takes a lot of time to transfer the people to the bank of the Yellow River to board the bank.
Of course, the purpose of the two teams of Zhao Yun is not only that, their ultimate destination is two cities. Although the flying cavalry had previously explored the general situation around, the detailed information could not be found out by flying two laps in the sky. After they arrived at these two cities, they will conduct detailed investigations on these two cities to see if these two cities have the value of attack. The value they see now is naturally not how much property or population there is in the city, but to see whether the city is suitable for defense after being captured. If it can be defended, Guo Jia would not mind building a temporary stronghold in Yanzhou.
It is of course of great benefit to have a stronghold in this place. Although it is temporary, this is just defined by Guo Jia himself. As long as he occupys the city, the system will not matter whether it is temporary or not. The most critical point is that the transmission fee can be decided by itself. You must know that within a state, the minimum transmission fee can be adjusted to a copper coin. Although Yanzhou and Baiyun City have already crossed a week, the minimum transmission fee has also been greatly increased, but it is only one hundred copper coins, that is, one or two silver coins, which is definitely much lower than one or two gold across borders. In the past, when fighting in the Japanese region, it was limited by this minimum transmission fee that Yang Tian had to give up the idea of large-scale transfer of the Japanese. After all, Yang Tian was absolutely unwilling to use one million taels of gold for one million people. But now if he could use one million taels of gold for 100 million people, Yang Tian would wake up laughing when he fell asleep.
However, it is not easy to occupy a city for teleportation in the chaotic Yanzhou, because once attacked, the city's teleportation array will strike, which is somewhat unreliable for population transport tasks that require very high stability. This is also why Guo Jia brought hundreds of giant ships of the Sea King when he set out.
Although it is difficult, Guo Jia did not intend to give up. Compared with ship transportation, teleportation is definitely much more convenient and fast. A primary teleportation array can transmit nearly one million people every day. Although the hundreds of Neptune transport ships can transport nearly ten million people at a time, the time required for back and forth is nearly one month, and its efficiency is less than one-third of the primary teleportation array. Therefore, when Guo Jia arrived in Yanzhou, the first thing he did was to find a city suitable for teleporting people.
Shortly after Zhao Yun and others set off, it became completely dark. At the same time as they set off, the Shenfeng Fleet on the Yellow River and the huge transport ships were also divided into two groups, although they advanced together. In less than a few dozen minutes, Zhao Yun and Daniu, both teams of men, encountered a battle.
It is actually not very accurate to say that it was an encounter with a battle, because it was a battle they took the initiative to provoke.
Zhao Yun’s target was a three-level town. Under normal circumstances, the population of this town will not exceed 10,000, but it is obviously abnormal now, because it is a small town that is regarded as a stronghold by the Yellow Turban Army. There are four or five thousand Yellow Turban Army in the entire town, and the people who were raped by them have reached 30,000. These people are all in the population of nearly ten villages and towns around. However, although the population of this town has soared, it is completely a desolate atmosphere. Although the ordinary people have tens of thousands, they dare not resist the oppression of the thousands of Yellow Turban Army. Inadequate strength, resistance is equivalent to suicide. No one does not care about their lives, so they chose to endure. (To be continued.)
