Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 38 It's just a bad message
Two days later, Changsha County, Linxiang County, the county seat.

Just as Liu Chan expected, the soldiers who attacked Chaijiazhai in Wufang Mountain came from Linxiang County.

However, what he didn't expect was that these soldiers were not county soldiers.

But the regular army of Soochow...

Of course, the same official regular army also has strengths and weaknesses, and differences between China and foreign countries.

The so-called central army refers to the soldiers directly subordinate to his Sun family, such as Sun Quan's imperial guards, and the soldiers he allocated to the clan commanders.

These people are diligent in training and paid well, and they can be regarded as the elite of Wu Jun.

The foreign army refers to the soldiers recruited by other generals and officials under orders.

In terms of "ownership", these soldiers still belong to the Sun family, but are commanded by foreign generals.

Both treatment and training are very different from those of the Chinese army.

The reason for this situation is related to Sun Wu's special military system.

Although Sun Wu also adopted the hereditary military system, it was different from the "hereditary military leadership system" of Cao and Liu.

Generals from aristocratic families lead their own private armies, and even if they die, these troops can continue to be inherited by other members of the family.

Unless your family is dead, these soldiers will be "nationalized".

This is the product of the Sun family's compromise with the Jiangdong clan.

The four major families of Lu, Zhu, Gu, and Zhang in Wujun control the most powerful armed forces in Soochow except the Chinese army.

Its prominent status is not comparable to those of the Yizhou family.

In contrast, the existence of foreign troops is very embarrassing. No one is willing to invest resources, and it has become an existence that grandma does not love and does not love.

And it was a "foreign army" to attack Chaijiazhai.

The man who commanded this foreign army was named Wu Shuo. Although he had the same name as Shang Shulang of the Eastern Han Dynasty who was killed by Cao Cao because of the Yidai Zhao incident, he was not the same person.

He was the general under the command of Sun Jiao, Sun Quan's cousin. At this time, he was leading 2000 foreign troops, and was ordered by Sun Jiao to be responsible for the work of clearing and suppressing Shanyue here.

Of course, there are only more than 1500 people left now...

Wu Shuo got the news that the young and strong gangsters from various villages came down the mountain one after another, and gathered outside, trying to do something wrong.

So he took advantage of the emptiness of his lair and divided his troops into five groups to attack the enemy's stronghold.

He personally led Yiqu to guard Linxiang to prevent bandits from looting the county.

I thought this operation was foolproof, but it turns out...

The other four groups of soldiers and horses together only killed less than a hundred people.

All the way to Wufang Mountain, but the whole army was wiped out...

"Hmph!" Wu Shuo clapped the table, "Trash!"

The few Wu soldiers who were released back bowed their heads and knelt down, not daring to raise their heads.

"Soldiers are divided into five groups to attack the stronghold, and you have the most soldiers to attack Wufang Mountain. The result? You are the only ones who come back!" Wu Shuo said, throwing a volume of slips on the case.

The aim was good, and it was hitting a Wu Bing on the head.

The bamboo slips were heavy and hit the man's head with a muffled sound, but he only groaned and did not dare to beg for mercy.

They knew about Wu Shuo's temper, and it was safest to keep silent at this time.

Sure enough, Wu Shuo's anger gradually subsided when he saw the silence of several people.

"Why was the whole army wiped out? Didn't the Wufang village master bring anyone down the mountain?"

Only then did a soldier dare to raise his head: "Report to the general, the village owner has indeed led people down the mountain. When I pulled out the stronghold, I didn't see many young men, and they have already broken through the gate of the stronghold! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the village master brought people back for some reason." The soldier was weeping, and his grievances were overflowing from the corners of his eyes. They were attacked... woo woo woo."

"Shut up!" Wu Shuo got up angrily and kicked him to the ground, "How many of them are there?"

"Probably...about a few hundred people, no less than us." The soldier added, "But those bandits are all armored, well-equipped, and have crossbows..."

Wu Shuo is so angry.

When is it, you dare to lie about the military situation and exaggerate in order to exonerate yourself? !

Hehe, hundreds of bandits are all wearing armor?And a crossbow?
Why don't you say that there is still his mother's unrivaled general?

"By the way, the village master is full of black armor, is good at wielding spears, has high martial arts skills, and is an unrivaled general..."

"Come on!" Wu Shuo roared angrily.

"exist!"

"Drag it, cut it!"

Several soldiers cried and begged to be dragged down...

Wu Shuo kicked down the case, and said angrily: "Tomorrow, I will call for troops, and I will lead a thousand people to fight for Wufang Mountain. I want to meet that unrivaled general in person!"

……

Another five days later, noon.

To the south of the mountain where Chaijiazhai is located, there is a valley more than 40 miles away.

The mountains on both sides of this place are gentle at first, and then rise abruptly, which is quite steep.

"General Gongming, I have been waiting here for two days...will someone come?" Chai Rong looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If it weren't for Liu Chan's record in Chaijiazhai, if someone else let them spend two days here, he would have slapped his ass and left.

They have a large number of people, they only need to stay in the stronghold, no matter which direction the enemy soldiers come from, what is there to be afraid of?

Why bother to suffer this crime here!
Liu Chan was not wearing armor at this time, and was lying comfortably in the shade covered by several bodyguards, whistling a ditty that no one knew.

It's not that these people are ignorant, the melody of "This Worship", of course, people these days have never heard of it...

"No hurry, no hurry, I told you to take off that leather armor, come here, drink some water." Liu Chan stopped whistling, cheerful and not looking like he was going to fight at all.

"Hi!" Chai Rong paced around Liu Chan, how could he get down safely, "We spent a lot of money waiting for more than a thousand people here, if the enemy attacked Chaijiazhai from other directions..."

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Liu Chan got up and patted him with a smile: "Master Chai, don't worry, the enemy army will only come from Linxiang. They will go by water first, and then disembark from Luo County and march on foot. If you want to go to Wufang Mountain, you must pass through here." Gu, I predict that within a few days, the enemy will arrive."

A feeling of tightness in the chest made Chai Rong feel uncomfortable.

How do you say it as if you saw it with your own eyes?

"How many days... How many days will it take?" Chai Rong muttered in a low voice, feeling that he had a bad attitude, and quickly explained, "It's not that I can't trust the general, it's really..."

"Ah." Liu Chan suddenly said.

Chai Rong thought that the situation had changed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's time to take a nap, otherwise you will be exhausted, how will you meet the enemy?"

Chai Rong: "..."

Looking at Liu Chan who really fell asleep with his arms pillowed under the "artificial shade", Chai Rong's mood collapsed.

Several other village masters also had their own complaints, and they all came over at this time, pulled him aside and said softly: "Village master Chai, this Song Jiang isn't playing tricks on us, is he?"

"Yeah, I waited in this valley, and stayed in the sun for two days, but I didn't even see a person!"

"If he really has such a great ability, how could he be kicked out from Wu County? I think it's just a trick..."

"Report—!"

Several people were discussing how to go back to the mountain, but a fast horse entered the valley.

The scout dismounted from his horse, climbed nimbly all the way to Liu Chan's side, and whispered a few words.

Under the astonished gazes of several village owners, Liu Chan suddenly opened his eyes, threw the leaves in his hands aside and stood up.

He clapped his hands and said with a loud smile, "Please wait a long time, the person we were waiting for is here!"
