Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 201 Siege

Zhuti County, Zhuti County.

After Liu Chan led the army to arrive, he not only met Deng Fang, the surrendered governor, but also Zheng Ang and Wang Meng who had fled here.

"Minister Deng Fang."

"The guilty minister is upright, see the prince."

Liu Chan replied: "You two have worked hard, and now you come from Chengdu alone. I will lead a large army to help you put down the rebellion."

The two looked at each other, both showing embarrassment.

Zhengang said: "I have not fulfilled my duty of guarding the land, and I have been entrusted by the king. I should live and die with Dianchi County! Now that I have fled here, I have no face to see the prince. Please punish the prince on behalf of the king."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and cupped his hands.

Liu Chan glanced at Wang Meng behind him, and Wang Meng nodded imperceptibly.

Liu Chan stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Although I have never been here, I have heard that my father said that I will keep you loyal. Now that the thieves are powerful, it is expedient for you to avoid this place temporarily. If you think about it, it will be easy." It is the father who is here, and he will not blame him."

Only then did Zhengang get up, with a grateful face.

Deng Fang also said at this time: "I sent two thousand soldiers from the county to help Zheng Shijun put down the rebellion, but I didn't want...the army was defeated before the city was conquered. I am really ashamed."

"It's important to put down the chaos now, but it's not the time to punish loyal ministers. I also ask Governor Deng to tell Gu Zhi about the military situation ahead."

"Okay, sit down, prince, and Rong Chen will report in detail."

Then Deng conveniently told Liu Chan the process of the defeat.

Zhuti County is like a nail inserted into the three rebellious counties, with Yueluo in the west, Yizhou County in the south, and Zangzhang in the east.

As long as Deng Fang leads the troops here, the Nanzhong rebels will not be able to send troops to the north.

If Zhu Ti is bypassed, Deng Fang can attack his rear at any time and cut off his food road.

Correspondingly, however, Deng Fang also needs to be very cautious if he wants to send troops. If he sends troops from one county to the south to attack Yizhou County, if Gao Ding and Zhu Bao find out, he will be attacked from three sides instead.

Therefore, even though he had five thousand county soldiers under his command, he had to set aside enough troops for defense.

Deng Fang naturally did not expect to be able to quell the rebellion once and for all when sending [-] county soldiers to attack the south this time.

It's just that, as the governor of Yujiang, he was originally an official position set up for the pacification of Nanzhong. Although the king is not demanding, how can a courtier remain indifferent to the Nanzhong rebellion?
He believes that with these 2000 troops, at least it will not be a problem to win Cunyi County.

Once Cunhou is captured, the northern gate of Yizhou County will be wide open, and there will be more gentle terrain to the south, which is more conducive to the formation of the army. The king's reinforcements will then be able to rely on this outpost to drive straight to the south.

Unfortunately, Liu Chan already knew what happened next.

"Deng Dudu, do you know why the southerners are willing to join the Yong family and Meng Huo, and risk their lives to fight against our army?"

It is not difficult for Liu Chan to lay down a deposit.

Among the counties in Nanzhong, only the county seat can be called a county seat, and the rest of the small counties are at most at the level of large cottages.

But laying down the deposit is only the beginning. If this issue is not clarified, you will not be able to achieve your strategic goals.

"Hmph!" Deng Fang said angrily, "After our army was defeated, I heard from the soldiers who fled back that the southern tribes didn't want to respond to the rebellion. But Meng Huo said that our army came here to plunder the tribes.

"It is necessary to order three hundred black dogs from each tribe, all with black hair on the chest, three buckets of agate, and three thousand three-foot-long logs. Killed by our army.

"At that time, all men will be killed, women will be slaves, and they will never be able to stand up again..."

Liu Chan sneered after hearing this, Meng Huo actually played cognitive warfare with him?

If what he expected was correct, this was probably a trick from Wu's second son.

If he swung his knife and slaughtered all the way as Zhang Yi said, I'm afraid he would fall into Jiangdong's tricks.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses, the southerners will no longer be able to return. As long as there is a need in the future, Jiaozhou can instigate a rebellion here and set Lao Liu's backyard on fire.

When the time is right, Wu Er Er will come to Nanzhong again as a savior, and with a little favor, it goes without saying which side Nanzhong will favor.

Let them die, bleed, fight Lao Liu to the last Nanzhong person, and they still have to thank this person who fanned the ghostly fire behind his back and sent them weapons.

In the end, he even fell directly into Jiangdong's arms.

You lame think it's pretty, don't you?
"Deng Dudu, I have a plan in my heart, and I hope the Dudu will cooperate."

"The prince has orders, and the minister must obey them!"

Zheng Ang also said: "There are more than a hundred personal guards under the command of the guilty minister, all of whom are at the command of the crown prince."

Liu Chan nodded: "You two are now ordered to continue guarding Zhuti County. This is our army's return route and the guarantee for the southern expedition of food and grass. We must not lose anything. At the same time, we will closely investigate the battle situation in Yueyu and Zangtang counties."

"Yes!"

"Zhang Bogong."

"The minister is here." Zhang Yi stood up and cupped his fists.

"Gu led the army to open the way ahead, and ordered you to command four thousand soldiers and horses to protect the peasants and escort the grain and grass, and at the same time beware of the southerners gathering to attack."

"Yes!"

Liu Chan warned again: "Remember, if the southerners have not done anything, don't kill their tribes and destroy their farms first!"

Zhang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but said immediately: "I obey."

Li Hui listened for a while, no, why is there no business for him here?
He hurried forward and said, "Prince, the father and son...?"

Liu Chan smiled at Li Hui: "Whether this Southern Expedition can have a perfect start depends on Li doing your job. Your father and son need to be like this..."

After hearing this, Li Hui stood there in a daze: "...Ah? That's it?"

"That's it." Liu Chan said solemnly, "This is the most important thing. I hope Li will do his best and don't take it lightly."

Li Hui and his son looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "I obey."

……

The weather in Nanzhong in the past May has begun to be humid and hot.

"Go!" A soldier drove away the huge flying insects, annoyed, "What the hell is this place, it's so hot, there are so many insects and snakes."

The person next to him kept fanning the wind with his clothes, wiped his sweat and said in a low voice: "Okay, let's stop complaining, just look at me."

The two men followed behind the Red Star Army. Li Er, Ding Feng and others led the Red Star Army as the vanguard to walk in the forefront, followed by Liu Chantong's Central Army, and the last was the rear army with food and supplies and Zhang Yi.

The Red Star Army in front was also walking in the sultry forest, but they were like puppets made of gold and iron, still marching silently and vigilantly as before.

They seem to be unaffected by the environment, but the two people who are close can see clearly that the soldiers of the Scarlet Star Army are not dummy monsters, and they are also sweating down their necks...

"...Let's go." The flying insects were still buzzing around the soldier, and he still waved his hands away from time to time, but he was not as irritable as before.

After the team walked out of this mountain forest, the terrain outside the mountain gradually slowed down. From a distance, a few small villages could be seen scattered at the foot of the mountain, and a larger settlement could be vaguely seen further away.

Li Er, who was leading the army in front, combined the map and the scout reports in front of him to find out the way, and determined that Cunyi County was in the distance.

"The whole army puts on armor and informs the central and rear troops."

"Yes!"

Then Liu Chan's army put on armor, fully armed against the sweltering weather, and continued to advance.

It's just that the Scarlet Star Army leading the way began to speed up at this time, separated from the Chinese army and took a detour...

They headed in the direction of the village, and went in circles after leaving the mountain.

The villagers who saw an army running towards them from a distance, like a frightened herd, immediately dropped their farm tools and scattered and hid in their houses. It didn't take long for them to see no one outside.

"Prince Liu Chan, don't kill good people! Don't capture slaves, don't seize wealth! Take Meng Huo and capture Yong Kai!"

"Squeeze Nanzhong, keep the people safe and sound! Punish rape and eliminate evil, and help Nongsang!"

The uniform shouts came from the mouths of the soldiers of the Scarlet Star Army, and the voices resounded through the village.

The doors of the people were still closed, and they didn't care. After shouting three or five times in the village, they immediately rushed to the next village.

It wasn't until the voice of the Scarlet Star Army got farther and farther away that some bold people began to open the doors and windows in doubt, looking out.

I saw that where the Red Star Army passed by, there was no damage to the farmland or houses, and not even a cow died.

The people living here are also Han people, but for a long time, many habits and customs have gradually become somewhat different from those in the north, but it is naturally very easy to understand Chinese.

Thinking of the two simple and easy-to-understand slogans just now, and looking at the scene in front of Qiu Wuwu, they began to be puzzled.

Why is this... different from what Meng Huo said.

Probably trying to deceive them, yes, the northerners are cunning, that must be the case.

I thought so, but subconsciously, the will to resist has been slightly loosened.

At the same time, the name Liu Chan quietly left a first impression on Nan Ren.

As for the crown prince Liu Chan himself, at this time he had led the Chinese army to go straight to Cunji, and quickly surrounded the county like a big village.

He doesn't have that much patience when dealing with the evil-minded Yong family. Since he dares to betray, he must have the awareness to pay the price...
