War is a man-made disaster.

Man-made disasters are often compared with natural disasters, and are even more terrifying.

Once a war breaks out, it will harm the fish in the pond. The people will be displaced and the people will lose their homes.

Tangyi is close to the battlefield. Although Cao Mengde's army is fierce and unstoppable, he did not turn this war into a protracted war and did not have a severe impact on nearby cities and counties. However, the terror of the war is like a plague. I don't know how many people leave their homes and hide everywhere with tears.

Although Xun Yu had the talent of a king and a disciple, it was hard to cook without rice. Cao Mengde advanced too quickly and it was difficult for him to keep up. It is not wrong to say that Tangyi is Cao Mengde's sphere of influence, but it has not been truly included in Cao Mengde's rule.

It is unlikely to be at least half a year.

The officials appointed by Xuzhou had long since escaped. Most of the powerful people in Tangyi County had long disappeared. At the same time, at least 20 to 30% of the people fled the city. The rest were barely stabilized under the auspices of the three elders of the county, and there was no riot.

When Zhao Yu arrived at Tangyi with five hundred light cavalry, it was already in the early morning.

Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao, and Yin hour are compared with modern time and space, between three and five in the morning. Because it is early spring, there is still a while to dawn.

From a distance, I saw some people on the top of the city, and some torches were illuminating.

Zhao Yu did not disturb him and ordered the five hundred light cavalry to get off the horse and go into the forest to rest.

The weather was still very cold, and the soldiers wearing fine steel armor were trembling with cold. However, eating food in the army was something that had to be endured. Compared with the soldiers under other princes, under Cao Mengde, the treatment was undoubtedly the best. At least there would be no time to go hungry.

In the past two or three years, high-yield and good varieties have spread throughout Yanzhou. It is precisely because of the popularization and promotion of high-yield and good varieties that Cao Mengde's army is not short of food. It is impossible for Cheng Yu to use human flesh as military rations in history.

In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, he could not make a fire. Zhao Yu looked at the soldiers' mouths and couldn't help but think of cotton.

In this era, cotton has actually been introduced to Shenzhou. However, its real purpose has not been discovered. It is mostly used as ornamental plants and is rooted in wealthy families. Moreover, the cotton of this era is not cotton from later generations, and its output cannot keep up at all.

People's clothing is generally made of thread products. Only wealthy families can wear silk fabrics.

The warmth-keeping performance of hemp products is not good.

When it is cold, wearing more than a dozen pieces of vegetarian clothes is not as good as a piece of animal skin. People with conditions wear leather products in winter, homemade.

So Zhao Yu thought about developing animal husbandry again.

From cotton to animal husbandry, at this moment, it took root in Zhao Yu's heart.

Cotton can make cotton coats, and the growth of the livestock industry can not only provide a large amount of meat and dairy products, but also provide enough fur.

"Go back and mention it to Meng De Haosheng."

This thought flashed through, Zhao Yu slowly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes slightly.

...

The dawn was bright, and at the beginning of the Mao hour, a group of defeated soldiers came from a distance.

Sun Ce sat on the horse, holding a spear in one hand and covering his chest with the other, his face turned slightly pale.

He forced himself to stand up and shouted, "There is Tangyi ahead, and there is a lot of food. When you arrive in Tangyi, you can have a full meal and have a good rest!"

This is how to draw a cake to satisfy your hunger and quench your thirst by looking at the plums.

Of course Sun Ce didn't know whether Tangyi had a lot of food and grass. But he had to let the remaining two thousand remaining soldiers know that they still had hope, and there was no dead end ahead.

The horse panted heavily, spraying pale fog. It trampled on the earth in chaos and quickly moved closer to Tangyi.

Sun Ce showed regret on his face and said to Zhou Yu, who was also exhausted, "I shouldn't regret not not listening to Gongjin's words, so I ended up like this. If I withdraw my troops early, ah... I will fight like this and lose it..."

Zhou Yu pursed his lips, and his handsome face was helpless, saying, "Why should Bo Fu sigh at this point? When he took the food and grass early, he looked to Jiujiang. He only hoped that Cao Ren had not yet defeated Ji Ling, and there were warships in Liyang Water Village, otherwise..."

There is a naval camp outside Liyang. The naval army led by Sun Ce was stationed in the Liyang River Village before the war, facing Niuzhu across the river.

Last night, Sun Ce did not listen to Zhou Yu's plan to withdraw his troops and was unwilling to flee without fighting. He insisted on attacking Cao's army camp, but was beaten to death by Cao Mengde. The 30,000 army was defeated in just half an hour. Sun Ce was injured by Dian Wei and almost lost his life.

When he was in a hurry to retreat, he was intercepted by Xiahou Dun's troops. He finally broke through the encirclement and ran into Xu Huang's troops. He was chased all the way and chased him to the vicinity of Yuguo before he got rid of the pursuers. However, after escaping, he was only less than two thousand troops left in Tangyi. He lost a big loss!

According to Zhou Yu's idea, he went straight to Liyang, Jiujiang, and did not delay a minute or a second along the way. However, after the defeat, all the food and grass were lost, and he fought several night battles. He was exhausted and had to get food nearby to fill his hunger. Otherwise, he would all starve to death before Liyang.

Zhou Yu was afraid that Cao's army would set up an ambush in Tangyi, but after careful consideration, according to the number of troops and horses of Cao's army, there should be no ambush in Tangyi. Moreover, Cao's army could not pursue too far, because the tens of thousands of troops in Guangling City would not watch Cao's army swallow Sun Ce in one mouthful.

He retreated last night in Cao's camp, and Cao Mengde did not pursue the army in the camp, which is why. He also had to be on guard against the troops that might have broken out of the city in Guangling City. More importantly, Cao Mengde wanted to block Guangling.

Only Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang's troops were chased and killed, otherwise Sun Ce would have been bound long ago.

Zhou Yu felt a little relieved when he thought of this.

Tangyi is right in front of you.

Sun Ce let out a long sigh and said with hatred: "I can't imagine that the elite Cao army has arrived. My 30,000 troops are not a mob, but they are not able to defeat his attack."

"The Cao army is well-armed and has no choice but to do anything." A general next to him comforted him: "Don't be discouraged. I think that when the old lord was alive, he had a great loss. But the old lord was unyielding and could make a comeback soon."

"What the general said was very true." Sun Ce was excited: "With all the helpers, they will make a comeback and defeat the Cao army is unknown!"

"It is a good thing that the major general can be excited." Another general said: "I look at Cao's army, and the soldiers are all brave and powerful, which is also the key. You must understand the mystery to deal with it."

Hearing this, Sun Ce also frowned: "General Demou is right. Cao's army is well-armed and can be seen at a glance. However, all the soldiers are brave and far superior to our troops, which is really puzzling."

Zhou Yu was observing the environment outside the city at this time, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. He saw a Taoist priest standing in the forest next to the road leading to the city gate.
