Chapter 160
Liu Chan first gave enough benefits to the small families and tribes in Xicheng and Shangyong.

When they also think that they have vested interests, even if they calm down after going back, some people want to understand that Liu Chan is using their strength to withdraw from Cao Cao, and they will not be willing to give up the duck with their mouths. They can only support Liu Chan one way. Road to the dark.

This is a conspiracy.

A few days after the meeting, the tribes sent young and strong members of the tribe as promised.

Although the population of each tribe is small, the combined Qiang and Di tribes in the two counties still sent more than [-] young and strong.

This is almost the limit. If they suffer heavy casualties, these small tribes scattered in the three counties will immediately lose their vitality.

It can be seen that they have also put all their eggs in one basket at this time.

These young and strong people are already tough, and they are usually full of martial arts. Liu Chan has seen it when he came to Shangyong last time, and sometimes a wrong look can cause a fight.

Although they don't understand battle formations and semaphore, as long as they understand that marching with drums and withdrawing with gold, it is also a considerable combat force when used at the right time.

As for the training of these Qiangdi people, Liu Chan naturally handed it over to Ma Chao.

For others, it is a headache to train these rebellious Qiangdi people, but for General Shenweitian, who has a high reputation among them, it is a piece of cake.

In addition to the original young and strong Han people in the city, there are more than [-] people.

As for the Shen family's private soldiers, Liu Chan didn't intend to use them. These people have been attached to the Shen family for generations, and they have already regarded themselves as the Shen family in thought, and the risk is too high.

At the same time, Liu Chan quickly sent people to take all the Shen family and the Shen brothers to Hanzhong, and asked Wei Yan to send people to guard them strictly.

The interior of Xicheng and Shangyong has settled down, and now with the full support of these local families and tribes, there is no need to worry about any major internal disturbances.

Liu Chan has sent a letter to the Red Star Army reserve team who stayed behind in Xicheng, and ordered Ding Feng and Chai Rong to lead 500 people to Shangyong to join them. Shen Zhong led the remaining 500 people to continue to guard Xicheng.

The rest is how to break the cao.

……

"Weaving and collecting sacks?" Deputy General Wang understood what Liu Chan was saying, but he didn't understand what he was trying to do.

Liu Chan nodded: "That's right, fill the sack with earth, stone and sand for later use."

"Uh... how much does the crown prince need?"

"The more the better. You can tell the women in the city that every sack weaved can be exchanged for ten coins."

"Yes."

As for how to deal with the Cao army east of the water blockage, Liu Chan already has a preliminary plan. If he wants to use the land of two states to make a northern expedition, population is always a big problem.

Therefore, he didn't want to win any battle badly.

But after all, the opponent will not always follow your thinking. For example, after so many days in a row, Cao Jun has always been stationed on the east bank without any offensive moves.

It looked like he didn't plan to cross the river to attack at all, and wanted to confront Liu Chan forever.

The ambush deployed by Vice General Wang on the west bank has always been useless, and he has begun to slack off.

"Prince, although we have enough food now, it is not suitable to spend a long time with Cao Jun. The best policy is to fight quickly." Guan Xing said.

Liu Chan nodded, of course he knew.

Now Cao Jun controls the lower reaches of the Mianshui River and Fangling, and can continuously send Nanyang's grain to the front line through the Mianshui River. Cao Jun's family has a lot of money, and they are not afraid of consumption.

It seems that there is enough food on my side, and it seems that it will take a long time to consume energy. However, spring plowing will soon be over. If a large number of young people cannot participate in the plowing by then, it will inevitably lead to a dismal harvest in the three counties, which are already not rich in production.

At that time, Hanzhong will even be needed to support food, but Hanzhong does not have the ability to be self-sufficient. In the end, the pressure will be on Jing Yi, and he will have to face the huge consumption of the long supply line.

Liu Chan also plans to integrate the south this year, but he doesn't want to fall into a war of attrition with Cao Jun in the three counties.

"An Guo has a good plan?"

Guan Xing said his thoughts, and Liu Chan nodded slightly.

If this plan is successful, combined with his original idea, he may be able to quickly defeat Cao Jun.

"Okay, then..."

Liu Chan froze, and his subordinates were able to take care of themselves. There are still too few generals who are qualified for this task.

Ma Chao himself still has great use, but he can't send him out.

It is no problem for Li Er to command the Red Star Army's advance and retreat, formations, etc., but it is still too young to lead an army alone to fight on its own.

"Prince, I would like to go!" Guan Xing said, "I proposed this plan, so I will lead the people there."

Liu Chan was a little hesitant, but talking to Guan Xing recently, his talent is actually very good, and his foundation is also very solid, but he still lacks the opportunity to exercise.

In the end he still nodded and said: "Very well, I will order you to lead the Shangyong garrison of two thousand, and then you and you four thousand young men, and set off as soon as possible, and act according to this plan."

Guan Xing clasped his fists and said excitedly: "Obey! Xingding lived up to the prince's trust."

As long as what Guan Xing wants to do can be carried out smoothly on his own side, then his safety is quite high.

However, Liu Chan's expression turned serious, and he still seriously warned: "Remember, nothing is more important than life. If something fails, you would rather suffer losses than withdraw in time. Don't be brave!"

He didn't want Guan Xing to die young in this place, he was the one who brought Guan Xing out, so naturally he had to bring him back intact.

[Guan Xing Favorability +5] (70)

【关兴好感度70,治军天赋+10×2,长兵天赋+8×2,马术天赋+8×2】

Guan Xing was moved when he heard the words: "Obey!"

It's just... As the Guan family, the more you hear such words, the more determined you will be to complete the mission to the death.

After finishing speaking, Guan Xing didn't say much anymore, he clasped his fists at the audience, got up and hurried away.

In order to cover Guan Xing, Liu Chan had to take the initiative to attack on a good day.

With Xu Huang's ability, Cao Jun must have set up an ambush on the east bank of Dushui, waiting to attack halfway like he did before.

But soon, I can use winter, the last dry season before the temperature warms up, to usher in the best time to cross the river.

However, this task can only be completed by the Red Star Army, and cannot bring other people.

Only the fighting will, loyalty and organization of the Scarlet Star Army can complete such a difficult combat mission.

After hearing Liu Chan's plan, Ma Chao frowned and said, "Prince, in this case, you are the only one who will go to the east bank with a thousand red star troops... Cao's army still has nearly [-]. This matter is too dangerous, and I think it is inappropriate."

"It's not that Gu is going to have a decisive battle with Cao Jun." Liu Chan smiled, "General Meng Qi, don't worry, just follow Yigu's words and lead the people to the west bank to wait for the response."

Ma Chao quickly understood Liu Chan's thoughts: "Could it be that the prince wants to lure the enemy with himself?"

"Yes, if you want to catch a big fish, if you don't give enough bait, how can the fish bite the hook?"

"Then why don't the ministers lead the cavalry to go together?"

Liu Chan shook his head: "Cao's army is now occupying a high point and setting up camp. Even the Yunnan horses can't play much role, and it's useless to go together."

Ma Chao understood what Liu Chan said was reasonable, but he was still a little worried.

The passion he had just ignited, the state he had just recovered and his expectations for the future, he didn't want Liu Chan to dissipate if something happened.

"The general's staying on the west bank is the greatest help to the orphan. The orphan will be careful when he goes here, and the general will not worry."

At the beginning Cao Ren's Fancheng was beaten into that bird by Uncle Guan, and Xu Huang couldn't resist sending troops to save it before the time came...

This kind of person who is ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to himself and his allies, if he hadn't gone there himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to move him.

This is not an intentional risk, but the best choice for quickly breaking the deadlock under the current situation.

……

"Luring the enemy?" Xia Houshang rubbed his chin and looked at Xu Huang in front of him.

Xu Huang nodded and said, "I've often heard that Liu Chan used to be so brave that he used to go into battle alone, and he did the thing of beheading the general and capturing the flag alone."

"That's right." Xia Houshang had a deep understanding of this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Before this person rode into our army alone and rescued Liu Feng, he was indeed brave. The courage of Liu Bei's own son is indeed Better than its hypocrites.”

Xu Huang smiled slightly, but there was a murderous intent in his smile: "It is not difficult for our army to spend a year or two with him here, but Liu Chan is expected to be unwilling to last for a long time. Looking at his past character and the battle of Jingzhou , must personally lead the army across the river to attack."

Xia Houshang smiled and said: "Yes, if so, our army can give him a head-on blow on the east bank!"

"No, just leave a small amount of ambushes on the shore, you can lose but you can't win."

Xia Houshang was taken aback when he heard the words, but after a little thought he soon came to his senses, and said with a smile on his face, "Could it be that General Gongming wants to..."

Another very important reason why Xu Huang didn't have much dislike for this princeling general was that he was not an idiot.

"That's right, as General Boren said. In this way, with Liu Chan's previous performance, he must break into the army alone and try to stab Xu Huang under his horse."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and both burst out laughing.

But Meng Da did not appear here as before, the daily smoke in Cao Jun's camp did not decrease, and the tents remained unchanged.

However, Mengda's 4000 men and horses have quietly disappeared...
