The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

"The lord fled to Runan?"

"It can not be"

"Has the Lord abandoned us?"

The soldiers of Yuan's army on the city tower began to whisper to each other and discuss privately.

Ji Ling did not take the initiative to announce the news of Yuan Shu's withdrawal. Ji

Ling wanted to stabilize the morale of the army, but he did not expect Zhou Cheng to use mental warfare to disrupt Yuan's army's morale.

Everyone is homesick. Especially in desperate measures.

The Chu army when it was besieged on all sides is the best example.

When Ji Ling saw this, his face turned pale. Then, he ordered his generals and officers to strictly control the troops.

Ji Ling said:"Anyone who talks about the Lord, incites defection, or disturbs the morale of the army will be killed without mercy."

There is no other way. Only through strict control of speech can mutiny be avoided.

Otherwise, how can the one hundred thousand Yuan army, which has become a lonely army, have the morale to defend the city?

In the following days, Zhou Cheng selected from the captured Yuan army Those who have loud voices are asked to go to the foot of Puyang City every day and shout to the top of the city tower.

"Brothers, surrender, Duke Zhou will treat me well."

"In Zhou Gong’s camp, everyone has enough food every day"

"Surrender and you can go home."

"Our parents, wife, children and brothers are waiting for us at home."

The prisoners of Yuan's army shouted in turn from morning to night, which made the soldiers of Yuan's army in Puyang City upset.

Ji Ling wanted to kill the prisoners immediately, but he was powerless and could only itch with hatred.

He fought every day.

Zhou Cheng did not stay in Puyang City for long.

After leaving 100,000 troops and horses for Zhang Liao and Zhang He to command, Zhou Cheng led his army back to Zhenliao City.

For Zhou Cheng, Yanzhou and Xuzhou only needed to be stable.

He There are even considerations to move the refugees from Yanzhou and Xuzhou to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places to fill the shortage of population in various places.

Just moving people to the north will leave Yanzhou and Xuzhou empty. Within a few years, they will still be desolate. What good is wasteland?

……

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Zhou Cheng returned to Hebei and basically announced this time.

Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others finally took a breath.

Zhou Cheng did not continue to fight south, giving them a chance to breathe.

Cai Mao returned from defeat.

Liu Biao just reprimanded Cai Mao in front of everyone.

In fact, Liu Biao was still very satisfied with Cai Mao's performance.

This time, Jingzhou lost the least amount of food, grass, troops and horses to resist the Zhou army's southern expedition.

Cai Mao took away 30,000 people this time, and when he came back, he brought nearly 20,000 people with him.

Compared to Liu Bei, Cai Mao can still get by.

However, the Zhou army occupied Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and after one or two years, they may have to continue their southern expedition.

In order to defend Jingzhou, Liu Biao had to send people to defend the northern part of Jingzhou.

Therefore, Liu Biao appointed Liu Pan as the governor of Nanyang.

At the same time, he also asked Wuling Prefect Jin Xuan, Changsha Prefect Han Xuan, Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan, and Lingling Prefect Liu Du to recruit troops and horses and send them to Nanyang.

Liu Bei lost his troops and generals in this battle.

However, Liu Bei is a very useful 'tool'.

Liu Biao used it quite smoothly, so Liu Biao comforted Liu Bei.

Let Liu Bei continue to return to Xinye, and at the same time, he allocated a lot of money and food to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was naturally grateful and returned to Xinye.

However, when Liu Bei returned to Jingzhou, he thought about the"Wolong" mentioned by Cai Mao again.

Although Zhuge Liang gave Cai Mao the tips, it did not play a big role.

However, Pang Degong was a famous scholar in Jingnan, a big shot that even Liu Biao could not invite.

Even Pang Degong gave Zhuge Liang such a high evaluation, then Zhuge Liang is definitely not a mortal.

Therefore, Liu Bei decided to visit Zhuge Liang in person

……

Koto.

Sun Quan suggested that Sun Ce recruit talented people and hire famous people.

Although Sun Ce adopted it, Sun Ce was more willing to listen to Zhou Yu's suggestions on many things.

Sun Quan became a disciple of Zhang Zhao and won the favor of many veterans.

At the same time, Zhuge Jin, Lu Su, Yan Zhen, Bu Zhi, Lu Xun, Gu Yong, Gu Shao and others were also more willing to get close to Sun Quan.

Sun Ce had no objection to this.

In Sun Ce's eyes, there is no possibility of usurping power between brothers.

However, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, both civil and military, successfully stabilized Jiangdong's rule.

Zhou Cheng took advantage of the situation and asked Liu Xie to confer Sun Ce the title of Marquis of Wu, becoming the new ruler of Jiangdong.

Just stabilizing Jiangdong was only the first step. What Sun Ce had to do was to cross the Yangtze River and expand his territory.

At this time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were taking a boat along the river and looking at the river bank.

Sun Ce said:"Gong Jin, after the spring plowing next year, I will fight there."

Next year's spring plowing is a very 'critical' time point.

Yanzhou and Xuzhou experienced wars, which delayed spring plowing. This year, there is a lack of harvest and the situation is unstable.

As for Yuan Shu's new defeat, in order to prevent the Zhou army, he will definitely mobilize troops and horses, so there will not be too many troops and horses in Lujiang and other places.

If you want to defeat Zhou Cheng, you must obtain enough capital to fight.

Obviously, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are not allies, but Sun Ce's targets. _Please download the novel without underlining
