The war is about to break out.

Shanhai City's actions were beyond the expectations of the four major city-states.

"You will help us, right?" Qin Feng looked at the representatives of other city-states, looking nervous.

"Brother Qin, don't worry, [Lingnan City State] will definitely support it. After returning, I will discuss with the lord's joint meeting and transfer all 150,000 allied troops to the border of Zhaoqing County to confront the Hu Ben Army in Shanhai City. If necessary, we will even enter Zhaoqing County to echo your western battlefield." Ruan Ping was the first to express his opinion.

Ruan Ping's statement was not surprising at all.

After Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia got married, Ruan Ping had become very stubborn and even possessed a devil. He always thought about how to get rid of Shanhai City and had become Ruan Ping's inner demon.

"[Southern Hunan City State] will also take action. The 100,000 Allied troops stationed in Guilin County will immediately enter a state of war and be responsible for restraining the Leopard Army in Shanhai City." Caiyun Zhinan's statement was a bit ambiguous.

Caiyun South only guarantees to restrain the Baotao Army, which means that if the Baotao Army does not take the initiative to attack, the allied forces of the [Southern Hunan City State] will not move.

Finally, the statement of the [City-North Sichuan City State] represented Ximen, was a little hesitant, "Uh, hehe, it's not bad, I must support it. In this way, the Allies of the [City-North Sichuan City State] will remain vigilant."

Half a year has passed, and there have been unknowable changes within the [City-State of North Sichuan]. There are differences within the city-state when it comes to the issue of mountains and seas.

Even the great official of Ximen was unwilling to have a conflict with Shanhaicheng directly.

When Qin Feng saw it, his brows frowned.

Obviously, the statements of the three major city-states did not satisfy Qin Feng, and he said in a deep voice: "It is certainly necessary to restrain it, but is it possible for you to directly send troops to reinforce us?"

The enemy troops currently placed in front of [Yunnan City State], including the two legions of the Longxiang Army in Shanhaicheng and the Imperial Guards Army, plus the field legion of Lingxi City, have a total of 280,000 elite troops.

When the real war begins, I still don’t know if there are other legions from Shanhaicheng participating in the battle.

For [Yunnan City State], the four legions are already a huge challenge. The city-state has only a hundred thousand allies. If you put together a little more, you can get a total of 300,000 troops.

However, Qin Feng knew that their 300,000 army was not the same as the 300,000 army in Shanhaicheng. Both sides were far from the combat power and weapons and equipment.

Not to mention, Shanhai City directly activated the two generals Bai Qi and Huo Qubing to jointly command.

The cold-blooded butcher killed the god Bai Qi, and the genius general led the god Huo Qubing.

Just thinking about it makes me feel scared.

If you really want to face it alone [Yunnan City State], it will be a bit difficult.

"this……"

This time, even Caiyun South became hesitant.

"Brother Caiyun, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!" Qin Feng looked anxious.

Caiyun Zhinan sighed, "Well, Brother Qin, it's not that we won't help. You also know that the military affairs of the city-state will be resolved by the joint meeting of the lords, which is not a one-man show. If we are dealing with the direct military threat from Shanhai City, the joint meeting will not have much resistance. However, it is probably difficult to pass if we send troops to reinforce friendly countries."

"That's right, Brother Qin, you must understand our difficulties." Ximen Daren followed suit.

It was Ruan Ping, the most active one, and there was no sound at this time.

[Lingnan City State] It is not something that Ruan Ping can decide, it is complicated. Especially in the past six months, Ruan Ping vaguely feels that there is a force within the city state that is ready to go, waiting for him to make a mistake.

Therefore, although Ruan Ping was eager to intervene in the Yunnan battlefield, he was powerless.

Qin Feng looked extremely ugly when he saw this. On the one hand, he understood the concerns of Ruan Ping and others. Thinking from the perspective of others, if it was the [Yunnan City State] who wanted to send troops to a friendly country, it would be a big deal.

On the other hand, Qin Feng was disappointed at his allies' resignation.

The emergency meeting of the four major city-states ended up in an unhappy way. The three major city-states just promised to restrain the Hu Ben Army and Bao Tao Army, which were responsible for restraining Shanhai City. As for the front battlefield, they were indeed powerless.

"I can't say it, I can only fight to the death!"

Qin Feng sent off his allies, and a trace of determination flashed across his face.

***************

Shanhai City, Southern Xinjiang Protectorate.

On the morning of August 24, Ouyang Shuo personally saw him off for the Imperial Guards.

The Imperial Guards led by Huo Qubing set out from the northern city gate and advanced towards Mulan Fortress in a mighty manner. This scene fell into the eyes of the spies in various territories.

The storm is coming!

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo met Zhang Tingyu and Wei Yang alone. After receiving the briefing from them, he finally agreed to the appointment of Pei Yun and formally appointed Pei Yun as the Director of Civil Affairs.

Zhang Tingyu finally agreed to the appointment of Pei Yun, and he had plans in his mind. Because once he refused, if he offended Wei Yang, the Director of the Interior Affairs Office, and Pei Ju, the governor of Xingzhou County, were very unwise.

Furthermore, in the Qing Dynasty, such a charming act like Pei Yun was too ordinary. Even Zhang Tingyu himself often had to cooperate with Emperor Yongzheng's preferences.

In this case, Zhang Tingyu had no reason to refuse Pei Yun's appointment. However, the unspeakable smile of the emperor still made Zhang Tingyu's heart tremble.

In this way, Wenxi Pei's two men took important positions in Shanhaicheng.

[Name]: Pei Yun (king level)

【Dynasty】: Sui Dynasty

【Identity】: Shanhaicheng Civilian Official

【Occupation】: Civilian official

【Loyalty】: 70 points

[Commander]: 45 [Military power]: 30 [Intellect]: 70 [Politics]: 80

[Special skills]: Civil Affairs (improve the administrative efficiency of the territory by 15%, enhance the prestige of the territory by 10%, improve the civil affairs efficiency of the territory by 20%)

[Evaluation]: Pei Yun, a minister of the Sui Dynasty, first served in Chen. He was appointed as the Inner Responsible for his father in the north and secretly appointed him as the Inner Responsible for the Sui Dynasty. He was appointed as the chief minister of the Kaifu Yitong Sansi and was known as the governor.

At the beginning of Emperor Yang, he was summoned to be the Shaoqing of Taichang, who was good at observing the emperor's will. He had more than 30,000 people from Guangzeng. He moved to the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department and submitted a request to establish a law to verify the household registration. He obtained more than 200,000 people and became the Censor and participated in the government affairs.

The emperor's intention was the basis for the verdict, and Yang Xuangan's remnants were governed and tens of thousands of people were killed. The law and discipline were severely damaged, and more than a hundred censors were added. His eyes and eyes were biased towards counties and states, which caused great public and private disasters.

The evaluation of Pei Yun in historical books is really not high.

Pei Yun also became the first official appointed by Shanhai City to be stained in a truly sense. Whether he could control such a "flattering minister" was also a test for Ouyang Shuo.

After all, when you arrive at the "Hope" planet in the future, there is no attribute list, and there is no such thing as loyalty. The loyalty, treason and good and evil of subordinates depend on Ouyang Shuo's eyes.

***************

August 25th, morning.

At the time when southern Xinjiang was in tension, a systematic announcement disrupted the pace of war.

"System announcement: China has successfully promoted fifty county cities to trigger the battle system. The sixth battle - the Battle of Red Cliff, will officially start in three days, so stay tuned. Friendly reminder: The Battle of Red Cliff is a non-compulsory battle situation task. Only areas promoted to county cities are eligible to sign up for participation."

...

The Battle of Red Cliffs is the most famous battle in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

If the victory of the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, including the famous Battle of Guandu, was the turning point of Cao Cao's regime, then the Battle of Chibi was the turning point of the Sun and Liu regime.

After this battle, Liu Bei began to truly start his career, and the Sun family in Jiangdong became famous.

It’s just about this epic war, because the literary processing of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has caused many misunderstandings about it.

First of all, Zhuge Liang's "borrowing arrows on the straw boat" in the Battle of Red Cliff is purely a fictitious thing.

But "borrowing arrows on a straw boat" is not groundless.

According to the records of Pei Songzhi's notes in "The Three Kingdoms: Biography of the Master of Wu", in the 18th year of Jian'an, five years after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led a large army south to attack Sun Wu.

One day, Sun Quan took advantage of the mist on the river and broke into the frontier of Cao's army from Ruxukou on a light warship to observe the deployment of Cao's camp. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and saw that the water was foggy on the river, and Sun's army was solemn and majestic that he might be fooled and dared not fight. He ordered bows and crossbows to shoot the Wu ship at the same time and arrows.

Sun Quan's ship was quickly filled with arrows. The ship gradually tilted and was about to capsize because it was heavily affected by the arrow. Sun Quan ordered the bow of the ship to be reeled and the other side was subjected to arrows. After the hull was stable, Sun Quan commanded the warships to line up and leave slowly, and Cao Cao realized that he was deceived.

This is just a story that happened to Sun Quan, just a quick move to make a fool of himself. Sun Quan did not plan to "borrow arrows", and the history books did not say it was a straw boat.

"Borrowing arrows on straw boats" is a fabrication, and Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind, that's even more nonsense.

In fact, in the Battle of Red Cliffs in history, the real commander was Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang basically did not even participate in the Battle of Red Cliffs.

It was only Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that his special preference for Zhuge Liang, grafted some things to Zhuge Liang and deified them step by step.

Not only the Battle of Red Cliff, but also the empty city plan was not done by Zhuge Liang.

Similarly, "Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai" is also a false example.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Gai used a bitter meat plan, but it was indeed true that he had a false surrender. In order to ensure that the unarmed fire ships were not intercepted and could successfully approach the Cao army's water camp, Huang Gai surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao easily believed Huang Gai's surrender because Cao Cao believed that Huang Gai had been Sun Jian's subordinate and was older than Zhou Yu. He was probably unwilling to accept it.

In addition, it was true that Jiang Gan, the same county of Zhou Yu, was sent by Cao Cao to persuade Zhou Yu, but it was not in the Battle of Chibi.

When Pei Songzhi wrote about "The Three Kingdoms", he recorded it after the Battle of Chibi, and only Jiang Gan persuaded him to surrender, but Zhou Yu's counter-espionage plan was not.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were not involved, and they were not even Cao Cao's naval commander at all.

Similarly, in the real Battle of Red Cliff, the gap in the military strength between the two sides is not as huge as described in the Romance of the Romance. The saying that the less defeats the more is somewhat untenable.

If there is a lord player who uses the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to speculate and prepare for the Battle of Red Cliff, he will definitely fall a big shot.
