The most hypocritical one is the court!

In Zhongmu County, a prisoner of war camp, a wooden frame with a shaped shaped like a salted fish was standing there. More than 100 people were hung on it. In the era of cold weapons, archery and knife slashing alone may not kill a person at once. However, these prisoners of war in Hebei who survived Zhao Yun's pursuit would rather die directly on the battlefield. Don't think that hanging is so kind, and you are put on a rope around your neck and hung on a wooden rack to slowly hang it. People have to endure the pain of suffocation for a few minutes before they faint and are hanged under the lack of oxygen in the brain.

But it was clearly Wang Hou who was behind the scenes and secretly planned a prisoner of war riot. When he turned around, he pushed the blame to these unlucky prisoners of war. While these people were twisting and struggling on the shelf, the remaining more than 2,000 prisoners of war in Hebei Yuan's army were driven to the small square of the county by Cao's army, pointing at them, and facing the angry Cao army, Zang Hong also roared indignation.

"See, the ones who dare to conspire to rebel will end up like this! Hang them on the hang platform! Don't even think of a whole body! I'll keep rotting here for me, and I'll never collect the body!"

"The court thinks that you are not the main culprit, and was enslaved by the Yuan thief in Hebei! He did not kill you all, so he pays attention to your life and labor reform! But you, those who are so cruel and ill, actually have evil intentions! You dare to plot against evil and assassinate the imperial officers and soldiers! You are all hungry for a day!"

"It's dispersed!"

More than 70 people died. The punishment slightly satisfied the Cao army guarding Zhongmu. However, they were probably even more cruel to the prisoners in charge. Looking at the comrades who were still twisted on the zigzag gallows, the prisoners sighed and returned to the prisoner-of-war camp where they were locked up.

On the other side, hundreds of lives were delivered, and the intelligence network that Wang Hou had been working on for several months also began to operate normally.

Although the main battlefield of the two major military groups in the Central Plains of Hebei is in Guandu, thousands of cavalry from the scout camps of the two armies are scattered hundreds of square kilometers throughout the Dongjun. There are even the brave Cao army scout cavalry who forced the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River and set foot on the Hebei area of ​​Yuan Shao's old nest. These days, there are no planes or satellites. The search for information depends entirely on the eyes and ears of these scout cavalry.

Hexian and Jiangcun, eastern end of Daying, Hebei Province.

The village has long been deserted, so it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world! This era is the end of the world where you can't even farm in a corner. The first batch of military and civilians were swept to Yanzhou by Cao Cao, who retreated. The villagers who fled to the wilderness were dragged by Yuan Shao for a second time and forced them into the camp of the rear army to act as a civilian who was not full or warm in food. I don't know if they were hungry and turned into a pile of bones. The house where people once lived became a weasel, a residence for city foxes and rats.

After a quick click, the jar that had already cracked was blown by the cold wind and finally shattered. Dozens of sorghum grains that had been troughed were exposed at the bottom of the jar. In the cold winter, the hungry rats immediately surrounded them with squeaks and slashed. The two rats even grinned for the several sorghums. The gluttonous rats did not notice a big tail that had stood high behind their butts.

However, the hungry weasel, who was also hungry, did not take action after all, because amid the heavy footsteps, some more ferocious predators appeared!

The leather military boots creaked with the sound of creaking as they stepped on the snow. As several black shadows broke into the barren yard, the hungry rats had not escaped. Instead, they raised their heads and showed a sharp teeth and shouted fiercely. However, people were humans after all, especially the particularly elite scout cavalry among the Central Plains cavalry. They pirated three arrows in anger and pulled the bowstrings violently. In the sound of snorting, two rats actually fell down, and black and red blood splashed hotly into the snow. The remaining mice were finally frightened and fled in panic.

Those who can become scout cavalry must at least be the small landlord class, because in this era, the soldiers need to be responsible for raising horses and raise a war horse, but they need a lot of resources and are full of disgust. The scout Cao army pulled out the arrow while stepping on the rat corpse, and threw it back into the arrow bag without even wiping the blood. Then, he actually started to fumble in the broken jar. After a while, a small wax-sealed bamboo tube was touched by him in a pile of rat shit, and the cavalry was immediately happy.

A few seconds later, facing the rapid wind and snow, he was as alert as a weasel. He quickly disappeared into the vast plain on his horse, leaving only two mice that had begun to freeze, attracting new hungry weasels.

This is Wang Hou's intelligence system. The tiger and leopard cavalry scouts under Xiahou Shang were transferred to him twenty. According to the agreement with He Bin, he crossed the Ji River in three days and searched for the dilapidated villages or Tucheng near Yuan Shao's army camp, and searched for the information conveyed by Yuan Jun in the yard with big locust trees.

This was the first piece of information He Bin "defected" and returned to the Hebei camp, so Wang Hou's intelligence bureau attached great importance to this. As soon as this end received the information, the other end had been sent directly to Guandu Houying and Wang Hou's office.

Now Wang Hou is also awesome. He has a special intelligence organization in his hand. In order to show his different identity as a "spy chief", in a group of permanent military camps being built, Wang Hou ordered a two-story building of about 200 square meters for himself. A large dark sign of the Military Commission Investigation and Statistics Bureau was hung on it with great momentum.

However, the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau is a bit shabby now. The second floor building is still a rough house, with exposed cement surfaces, and there is not even an independent bathroom on the second floor. You have to go to the first floor to go to the toilet. The large archive room prepared by Wang Hou is also empty. There is only a table and a few chairs in the office, and the only subordinate employee is Lu Ji.

There is no way, he has too few literati under his command, and most of them are left in Puyang by him, continuing his policies to maintain the operation of the Puyang market. Besides, although the intelligence agencies are quite small now, only Deng Gang is the only one line, there will always be a big time! It’s better to keep confidential, it’s really not that you can’t recruit anyone!

The first time the information was opened, Wang Hou felt quite ritual. He twisted the bamboo tube himself and revealed a lot of random numbers written on white cloth inside, all of which were Arabic numerals. On the other end, Lu Ji was excited to get the confidential document codebook, which was actually "Thousand Character Text", and it was right according to the numbers one by one.

Lines of ordered words were immediately revealed.

Deng Qi is really talented in being a spy, and his long passage made him express it in extremely concise words.

But he had just returned to Yuanying and settled. This was the first time that the information he sent back was extremely limited. He only reported safety and reported the situation.

Just like in the plan, Fang Yue, the most brave, returned with the head, was promoted from the original garrison commander to Qu Sima, and Deng Qi was promoted from only one small soldier to a hundred teams. Yuan Shao had just suffered a defeat. He also focused on publicity for these warriors who had returned from Cao's camp like a "miracle" to boost the morale of Hebei.

It was also a scene that was planned. Whether it was Fang Yue or Deng Qi, they had a unified attitude. Just saying that Cao's rear camp was so hungry that he couldn't eat enough and was facing the crisis of food being cut off, he conveyed the first false news to Yuan Shao.

However, when he believed Mo Wei, Deng Qie still asked carefully. He and Fang Yuecai took office, many Hebei officers from aristocratic families were hostile to them and looked down on them. In order to inquire about information, they must ease their relationship with them. This best easing agent is Brother Kong Fang! He asked Wang Hou for the first support.

He also laid nails in Yuan’s army, and Wang Hou nodded without any worries.

"Secretary Lu, in a while, allocated 100 stagnant of copper coins, five jars of wine and one jar of dried meat in the back camp. Oh, it would be great if there was tobacco at this time. This thing is definitely a good medicine for socializing!"

"I know, Master!"

"I have to answer, respect me! Director!"

He raised his beautiful Daimei in a little surprised, but now he fully wants to be the role of Mrs. Wang, and Lu Ji immediately raised her skirt lightly.

"Abide by the order! My elder Ju!"

"Go!"

Although this title is still a bit sleepy or not, it satisfies Wang Hou's fantasy of the spy chief director in the spy film. He nodded again happily.

After sending Lu Ji down, Wang Hou stuffed the first secret piece into a thick paper file bag and stuffed it into his archive room with his own hands. Then, he then walked behind his hands and came to the window without any glass windows.

Looking at the Yanzhou men who were still busy carrying cement and steel bricks below, the excitement in his pupils could not be covered up no matter what.

There is no way to be excited! A while ago, Xiahou Shang said that Yuan’s army stationed grain in Wuchao, and it was a stick to smash his original confidence in breaking Yuan Shao’s plan! But now through Deng Qi, he successfully laid nails under Yuan Shao’s hands. Western proverbs, breaking a horseshoe and destroying an empire! So don’t underestimate Deng Qi and Fang Yue’s two small subordinate officers. In time, they will eventually grow into Yuan Shao’s confidant!

Through his own efforts, Wang Hou has a little capital to change history!

Just as Wang Hou looked out the window with excitement and dazed eyes, time began to pass by little by little.

…………

Life in later generations was three points and one line for the company to get home. In the late Han Dynasty, farming and war occupied the main theme of life. Even fighting became an indispensable part of the lives of men in the Han Dynasty. In the peaceful season, the Huns were fought and the regime was broken. Anyway, when you were on the battlefield, it was said that the Russians in later generations were a fighting nation. In fact, we are the fighting nation in East Asia!

This Guandu War also reached its peak in the combat life of the Han Dynasty. From the beginning of the war in November last year, to now, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

But the battle situation is still dead.

At this time, the bloody snow mountain in front of Yuan Shao's army had been replaced by the real earth mountain. After all, there were more than 200,000 civilians under their command. When winter and spring came, the earth had already dug soil before the frozen snow mountain melted, and later replaced it. After the snow mountain of Yuan Jun in Hebei completely melted, the earth mountain reached a distance of 50 meters from Guandu Daying in a few days.

However, the role of these huge siege fortifications is really limited, because after realizing the importance of Huihui cannons, Cao Cao ordered the production to be stepped up. Now the number of Huihui cannons in the Cao army on Guandu front has increased to 200.

The Yuan army climbed the earth mountain and shot down. The resounding cannon hit the big pebbles in the Jishui River and the coal that was not so scarce for the time being, Yuan army was covered in dust.

And at this time, the frontier of Guandu Camp is no longer as simple as a simple three-row chest wall!

Thanks to the best friend of mankind! The heavy snow and freezing in winter has become Wang Hou's transportation convenience. He relies on the expressway where dogs pull sleds. In one winter, he couldn't even calculate how much supplies he transported from Xudu, lime, coal, ore slag, and these things built a cement barracks of Cao's army.

The mouth shape is 80 military camps of all sizes, and four officer dormitories take over to replace the previously simple sheds. After the cold winter ended and the spring returned to the earth, Wang Hou finally let all the Cao army officers and soldiers on the front line live on the kang! He was grateful to the front line Cao army who moved into the new dormitory for a whole winter, thanking him for his eight generations of ancestors.

But no matter whether the warmth is maintained or not, the solid two-story cement building directly forms rows of solid fortifications.

Moreover, behind the low walls of the fan-shaped Guandu camp defense circle, Wang Hou also began to build an enemy building. Behind each circle of low walls, a three-and-a-half-story closed beacon tower, with thick cement bricks reaching about half a meter, and a shooting hole on the second floor is the watchtower. On weekdays, soldiers stationed on the front line just hide in the enemy building to play cards. On earth, it is difficult for Yuan's army to shoot arrows to hurt the hidden Cao army. When Yuan Shao ordered the infantry to attack, he could quickly come out of the enemy building and snipe the enemy.

There was a blow of cement here to change the war. Originally, Cao's ice fort was gradually melting with the warming weather. Yuan Shao also planned to launch a new spring offensive. However, on the third day before the attack, Cao's army suddenly dug a large foundation pit in front of the ice fort. On the first night, a thick cement outside was simply pasted with a layer of thick cement inside, and the first floor of the enemy building with bricks and steel bars inside was built. The next night, the second floor was also built while taking advantage of the night. On the third day, the third floor was completely built!

Looking at the densely packed fifty and ugly enemy buildings, as tall as a bun, and the Hui guns that had been transported to the reinforced concrete barracks behind them, Yuan Shao simply canceled the offensive plan.

However, the war did cause great damage to social productivity. Three hundred thousand strong men invaded Dongjun and hoarded them in Guandu. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jizhou, which has a dense and rich population, has also begun to face large-scale production cuts this year. The fields in Jizhou have only been planted about five floors, while Yanzhou in Cao Cao is even worse. The population has declined due to the Lu Bu Rebellion, and more than 100,000 strong men have also gathered in Guandu Camp. This year, even Xuchang has cut production by about half, and many prefectures and counties have only cultivated less than 30% of the land. Cheng Yu, who was short of people and even left behind Xuchang, sent someone to write a letter to Wang Hou, grinning and asking him to spit out tens of thousands of strong men to go back to the spring plowing, which shows the critical situation!
