Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 250
"Huh? Do you know who is coming?" Liu Chan was more puzzled than vigilant.

He is very clear about the territory of Nanzhong, and now there is no resistance force that can gather around 3000 people.

The extremists who resisted in the corner are now being detained in their own army.

As for forces further west, other than Nanzhong... It will take more than 400 years for Tubo to appear on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and no one has the ability to fight here.

"Prince, the clothes of the soldiers in this army are different, and they seem to be mixed with different tribes. The army also drove a large number of cattle and horses, and they were loaded with leather bags and cloth bags."

Ok?
Liu Chan sighed helplessly, and looked at Zhuge Liang next to him, the smile on his face also contained a little pity.

"Order the whole army to suspend the march and wait for them to come."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the army stopped marching. Without receiving specific orders from the prince and the military adviser, the generals and commanders at all levels spontaneously organized soldiers to form formations to meet the enemy in a formal manner.

Both the generals and the soldiers brought out have made great progress after the war.

Soldiers who have fought against Zhuge Liang are good at cooperating in battle formations, soldiers who have fought with Liu Chan have a great sense of belonging and honor, and soldiers who have fought with Ma Di... cherish food even more.

When it was brought out, there were 5000 people. The proportion of soldiers who died in the battle was higher on Ma Su's side, and the overall number was about [-]%.

However, counting those who refused to leave after joining, and those who were originally reduced to ashes after being incorporated, the number has now increased to more than [-].

After the formation was completed, they calmly waited for the arrival of the "enemy troops".

No matter who they followed at the beginning, they had faced more enemies than themselves, and their confidence and morale had been built up, so there was no need to fear a mere three thousand cavalry.

Without waiting too long, I saw a large number of people moving forward from a distance.

As the opponent gets closer and closer, the soldiers hold their spears in their hands and arrows on the strings, waiting for the war drums to sound to give the opponent a try.

...where are the drums?
The soldiers in the front row have begun to see clearly the appearance of the "enemy army". They are dressed in different clothes and appear to be a coalition of barbarians and civilians.

It's just that the other party seems calmer than himself, and some people in front seem to be enemy generals, and they seem to be talking and laughing.

A young soldier who still didn't understand what was going on was quite angry. Since he went south, no one dared to look down on them, the Han army.

He silently clenched the spear in his hand, his eyes widened angrily, just waiting for these ignorant enemy cavalry to charge.

The enemy cavalry is activated!The enemy cavalry is charging up!

The enemy... The enemy started waving?
The enemy slowed down, stopped, dismounted, knelt...

The soldier stared dumbfounded at the barbarian soldiers getting off their horses and kneeling down one after another, yelling something in their mouths, but their own commander did not give the order to attack for a long time.

Of course, Liu Chan couldn't order an attack. As soon as he heard the report from the scouts, he knew that this was not an enemy army at all.

How could the enemy army come here with cattle and horses, so could it be possible to play "fire cattle and horse formation"?

Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang got out of the carriage together and walked over one after another.

"Get up, what are you doing?" Liu Chan looked at Huo Bueri and several familiar Qingqiang generals in front of him.

"Prince, not only did we lose the war, but you and Zhuge Junshi not only did not plunder, but also gave us favors. According to our rules, we should give something back." Huo Bu'eri said sincerely.

At this time, the Yi people who were left behind by the cavalry also drove a large number of cattle and horses over.

"These are my Qingqiang war horses."

"These are the cattle from various departments in my Yue family."

"And we..."

The leaders of various tribes introduced the dedication of their own tribes one after another, and some small tribes that were really poor also brought some of the best things in the tribe such as tiger skins.

Even the tiger skin was the leader's own couch not long ago...

"You don't have to be like this..." Liu Chan was speechless for a moment, "You should take it back and get rich first."

Unexpectedly, the other party was not happy, and Huo Bu'eri said angrily: "We are poor, and have never studied like you Han people, but we also know that the blade is facing the enemy, and the reward is dedicated to the benefactor!"

"Yes! This is also a revelation from heaven." Another leader said, referring to the pictures at the end of those scrolls, which were given back by the barbarians.

Seeing that Liu Chan seemed unwilling to accept it, the barbarians began to complain one after another.

"Prince, you'd better accept it. The Yi people are simple in their feelings and worship the strong. If you don't accept the gift now, I'm afraid they will feel that the alliance is not a true alliance." Zhuge Liang said softly.

"Okay, don't talk about it, just accept it alone." Liu Chan waved his hand.

The leaders then turned their resentment into joy. Huo Bu'uli stroked his chest and smiled: "That's right, you and Zhuge Military Advisor are both the victors and our benefactors, so they deserve to be honored."

Then the Yi people drove the cattle and horses into the Han army, and respectfully handed the whips used to drive the cattle and horses to the Han soldiers.

Those who brought home-brewed fruit wine came forward to toast, and the soldiers who received the general's instructions drank it all in one gulp. The Yi people burst into cheers, and then they began to sing and dance to the Han army in accordance with their own etiquette.

The songs and dances are not the same, but the meanings expressed are similar.

At this time, the soldiers of the Han army who were vigilant or slightly discriminated against were also infected. Some soldiers in the front row were pulled into the singing and dancing crowd by enthusiastic girls, and jumped up clumsily.

Both sides burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Those who do things for others will be helped by others; those who do things for themselves will be left alone..." Liu Chan murmured.

Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this: "With the help of the masses, even if we are weak, we will be strong; if we go with the crowd, even if we are strong, we will perish. Although the King of Huainan is not a loyal minister, and there are many fallacies in his writings, this alone is very good."

"I just hope that the world will be settled soon, and the prosperous age will be reappeared. All the Han and barbarians in the border can live in peace like this, so as to avoid further disasters." It is rare to come here after traveling for thousands of years. Liu Chan really wants to do something for this disaster-prone civilization. What.

Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted: "If the king knows how lofty the crown prince is, he will be greatly comforted."

Putting aside his short-term sentimentality, Liu Chan said with a smile: "At least this time, I won't say 'a great job' with a stern face."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and both of them burst out laughing.

After the gifts and blessings were over, Huo Bueri and the other leaders bowed down again: "Respectfully send off the prince and Zhuge military division. The people of all ethnic groups in Nanzhong have received great kindness and formed an alliance. The Han army lives and dies together!"

Liu Chan stepped forward to help him up and held his fist: "You have a good saying, 'The blade must face the enemy'. day, will surely live up to the people of Nanzhong.”

"Prince!" Huo Bu'uli's eyes were filled with tears, and he was suddenly moved to the point of bursting with emotion.

Saying goodbye to everyone, the army continued to march north.

What Liu Chan didn't expect was that this was just the first wave of people...

Driving a large number of cattle and horses, the Han army marched slowly. During this period, people and horses from other places came from other directions to "encircle and block" them.

All the counties and towns passing by had to come and go like this. By the end, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and their generals and soldiers were all numb... The Han army, which was in overwhelming strength when they arrived, never thought that when they withdrew from Nanzhong, they would be like this " Walking hard."

……

"Our army's existing crossbows still have many deficiencies. The speed between each firing is too slow. However, if the soldiers are fired in turn, the shooting density is not enough." Zhuge Liang said, "If it can be solved, the battle formation can still be powerful. greatly improved."

The production of crossbows focuses on the metal crossbow machine, and this delicate thing limits the production speed. Before the technology is improved, it is difficult to greatly increase the number of assemblies in the army.

Liu Chan pretended to frown and think hard, and then sighed after a while: "It would be great if we could load ten or more crossbow arrows at a time so that they could fire continuously."

"Continuous fire?" Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes gradually brightened, "The prince's words are as bright as clearing the clouds and seeing the sun! What's wrong with continuous fire?"

Good guy, Uncle Zhuge, do you also see the sun through the clouds?
Liu Chan was a little embarrassed, this was originally your invention, okay?

The army set off from Dianchi Lake in early August, and did not leave Nanzhong until mid-September.

For more than a month, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were not idle. The two not only summarized the battle along the way, but also discovered some improvements in the Han army's military equipment at this time.

Fortunately, after entering Jiangyang, you can use the Yangtze River waterway to go up the river and go straight to Chengdu.
