Chapter Nine Hundred and Eighty Seventh Mighty
Chapter 987
Cao Cao adjusted his strategy, and Changshan County calmed down again.
Zhang Yu rested for a few days, and then began to train soldiers in the barracks.
Now Zhang Yu already understood what Cao Cao was afraid of.
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are concentrated here, and hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived on the western front. It is very difficult to transport food and grass from the eastern front.
The 100,000 troops are outside, and usually 300,000 civilians are needed to help transport food and grass, and these 300,000 civilians also have to eat.
This consumption is equal to four times. When the peasants return, they have to bring enough food on the road. The consumption is not ordinary, but it is too large for Cao Cao to bear.
"My lord, it would be nice to just fight over, it's going to fade away." After nesting for a few days, seeing the enemy right in front of him but unable to fight, Dian Wei felt uncomfortable again.
"Don't worry, Wenyuan will be fine in a few days, and I'll let you play a few games then." Zhang Yu said.
Dian Wei was still depressed. He already knew that this was another war of attrition, and then he did not know when the war would end.
Zhang Liao had already taken down all the other places, but it took a little longer to build up the defense.
A few days later, Zhang Liao will lead some troops to support.
A total of 100,000, 50,000 Fusang troops, 50,000 own infantry.
If there are 100,000 troops, then Zhang Yu has more than 200,000 troops here.
Cao Cao's support will also arrive soon.
The two sides gathered another half a million troops.
Five hundred thousand troops is a terrifying number.
Even one west gate, plus one east gate, can't accommodate so many troops when fighting at the same time.
At this time, in Xinbeiping, an urgent battle report from Zhang Yu was sent to the city.
Several cabinets were called urgently.
"My lord judged that Cao Cao was afraid of fighting a long-term war of attrition with us in Changshan County. This judgment should be accurate." Guo Jia said first.
Several people studied the map for a while and said, "That's right,
Whether it is us or Cao Cao, it is very difficult to transport food and grass there. "
After the seven people researched, Gu Yong said: "We mobilized food and grass from Youzhou and the eastern part of Jizhou, and there were many difficulties, but Cao Cao and the others were short of food and couldn't afford it. We must be the ones who won in the end."
Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao are very familiar with food and grass, know their own family background, and are not afraid at all.
Zhang Zhao added: "There is a large amount of grain hoarded in the Jiangdong area. Let alone one battle, we can fight two battles. We should arrange for people to transport them there immediately."
Several cabinets reached an agreement, and the next step is how to proceed, how to mobilize food and grass.
Starting from the two counties of Youzhou and the two counties of Jizhou, the people were mobilized and set off along the northern part of Jizhou.
The road is now safe, and the northern part of Jizhou is completely controlled by Zhang Yu and the others, except for the threat from the grassland.
There is not much threat to the grassland for the time being.
But Chen Gong said: "I'm going to persuade Marquis Wen to lead troops to the grasslands in the northern part of Jizhou. We can't be unprepared for such a large-scale transportation of grain and grass."
After everyone's arrangement, everything was arranged properly.
The cabinet released the news.
Before the news got out of Xinbeiping City, a group of people went to the government to petition.
"My lord, we are willing to deliver food and grass for the prince."
"Yes, no wages, I have a cart at home."
"My lord is fighting on the front line, so you can't go hungry."
"Let's go, there is plenty of strength."
Unexpectedly, just one day later, hundreds of people gathered in front of the government to contribute to the front line.
If 300,000 soldiers and horses are fighting in the front, 900,000 civilians must be mobilized to transport food and grass. This is not an easy campaign.
However, the cabinet was still worried about how to launch it, but now it seems that it may not be difficult.
The news continued to spread, and more people wanted to deliver food and grass to the front line.
Outside the city, some people sent several representatives from one village to another to go to various levels of government to petition.
The counties that received the order began to organize teams one after another.
These are the counties on the front line, and the food and grass are loaded in trucks and ready to go at any time.
In the first batch, tens of thousands of people set off with food and grass.
A second batch is also being organized.
Several counties were short of manpower, and other counties began to organize manpower.
A vigorous pre-support movement began.
If Zhang Yu knew, he would definitely think of the victory achieved by millions of peasants pushing small carts south to help deliver weapons and ammunition during the War of Liberation.
On Cao Cao's side, they also launched a campaign to support the frontline, but they were not as popular.
In Jizhou, not long after it was won, it could only be directly recruited as corvee.
In other places, when spring plowing and planting are just in time, there is a shortage of people, and no one wants to go.
Cao Ang and Xun Yu were also very sad.
In the end, corvees had to be allocated to the counties from all over the country, and asked them to organize the people to support them.
The people on Cao Ang's side needed to farm, so naturally Zhang Yu's side also wanted to.
It's just that Zhang Yu's people are relatively well-off. They have surplus food and a lot of money at home, so their livelihood will not be affected.
In addition, as long as they have something to do, the people who stay at home will also help, and other people will come to help when they are busy. This is the previous rule.
Both sides began to mobilize resources.
On the front line, reinforcements led by Zhang Liao arrived.
"Wen Yuan, it's hard work." Zhang Yu went two miles away to meet Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao and other generals knelt down on one knee and paid respects to Zhang Yu.
The barracks have been built, and Zhang Liao and the others will be able to move in immediately.
The barracks for more than ten miles seemed very crowded.
"Wen Yuan, you can only rest for two days." Zhang Yu said as he walked after picking up Zhang Liao.
The soldiers and horses arrived, more than 200,000, and the logistics pressure was not ordinary, so Zhang Yu decided to go to war immediately.
This is helpless and cruel.
In order to reduce the consumption of food, only wars are used to consume it.
Don't say that it doesn't hurt to consume the people of Fusang, Zhang Yu is also very distressed. After all, this is the power in his own hands, and Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses will also suffer a lot.
Cao Cao looked in Zhang Yu's direction in front of the camp and sighed, "This may be the most difficult time for us. It was not so difficult for us to face Yuan Shao's army."
This is a big strategic consumption. It is no longer a matter of a city or a county, but a matter of all the territories combined.
Whoever can afford it will win.
Zhang Yu has been developing the economy for so many years, so the potential of such an explosion will be astonishing.
"My lord, our soldiers and horses have arrived, and the big battle may be just a few days away," Xun You said.
Cao Cao said leisurely: "Can we win this battle?"
Cao Cao would express such emotions, Zhang Yu shouted on the battlefield before, he is old.
Yes, he is old, and Zhang Yu has grown into an invincible general, and his two generals can't beat him.
Zhang Yu Cao Cao is preparing for a new battle. And there are two mighty troops from the north and the south are coming to support the battlefield. This will definitely be a magnificent movement that will be recorded in the annals of history.
