Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Report to the king, Yizhou County Governor, Kou Feng led 20 horse infantry troops to cross the river from Jiangzhou to Nanzhong suddenly, and has already pulled down countless cities. It is advancing to Yizhou."

Just when Yong Kai climbed up and looked north, distracting thoughts abounded in his mind.A small official came up the mountain from behind and reported.

When reporting, the little official couldn't hide the panic on his face. 20 troops, 20 troops, what an astonishing number.

Even if it's just a title, it's no small matter.

"what?"

Yong Kai's eyes widened when he heard the words, full of disbelief.

Didn't Kou Feng return to Xiangyang westward?It took a lot of time to gather the clans of officials from all walks of life in central Shu, and thousands of family members returned to Xiangyang in a mighty manner.

Why did they suddenly cross the Yangtze River south and attack Yizhou County? 20 troops, 20 troops, how can he resist?

"It's really cruel."

Yong Kai was stunned for a long time before he gave a wry smile and sighed.

Kou Feng, just like King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, moved the big families in the middle of Shu, and the family members of the officials entered Xiangyang, risking the instability of the middle of Shu, and even the risk of big troubles, and staged such a scene.

Let him, Meng Huo and others relax their vigilance.

Because Kou Feng's handwriting was too big, he actually fell for it.Claiming to be the King of the South, he sent [-] troops to attack Yunnan.He was not prepared for Kou Feng's sudden south crossing, so Kou Feng crossed the Yangtze River smoothly and entered Nanzhong.

Now that 20 troops are approaching Nanzhong, how can he and Meng Huo resist.

Sighing could not appease the chaos in Yong Kai's heart, and Kou Feng's 20 army was like a mountain, pressing down on Yong Kai's heart.

"The widow and Meng Huo still have an army of 20 to [-], and Kou Feng claims to have [-], but at most there are more than [-]. If we can hold Dian City, there may be a chance of survival when the Chu army runs out of food."

After being chaotic for a long time, Yong Kai cheered up a little, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

"Come here, order to return to Diancheng."

Yong Kai gave orders to his entourage, then hurried down the mountain and led the army back to Diancheng.

Four days later, the [-] to [-] troops led by Yong Kai returned to Dian City.Kou Feng's army also stepped back and came to the north of Diancheng.

On the head of the northern city of Yongkai City, Yongkai led the important generals in the southern kingdom, including Meng Huo and Meng You, to observe the Chu camp in the north.

On the open space ahead, a large camp stretching for more than ten miles was being built from scratch.There are many camps and tents, and they are well-proportioned, and I hide murderous intentions.

Although Yong Kai is not a famous general, he has read a lot of military books.Looking at the big camp in front of him, he couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring.

This must be the pen of a famous artist.

Looking at the big camp in front of him, he thought again that he had played a trick in Yunnan and was defeated once by the little Dong He.Yong Kai couldn't help being even more afraid of the abundance of talents in Chu.

"What a murderous camp."

Meng Huo can be said to be the one who knows the best about military power among the people present. He was the one who fought against Yan Yan and others in the past.At this moment, Meng Huo's heart was also slightly awe-inspiring.

His expression was even more dignified.

Speaking of which, their Nanzhong army had already fought against Gan Ning's navy, but looking at this murderous camp, Meng Huo knew that he had fought against Gan Ning on the river before.

It's just that they are brave and ruthless, and the two sides fight by bravery.

And this Chu army is the real Chu army, with mysterious battle formations and brave generals.

"Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, I wonder if you have any countermeasures?" At this moment, Yong Kai had only one strategy in mind, to defend until the Chu army ran out of food, and then retreat on its own.

However, Yong Kai certainly hoped that there could be a better way.Turn around and ask the generals.

"The Chu army is coming from far away, and there are another 20 troops. It must be difficult to supply. We only need to persist for a few months, and we can wait for the Chu army to retreat on its own."

A Yong Kaifeng General Zhenbei took a step forward, clasped his fists and said.

Yong Kai nodded expressionlessly when he heard the words, and said: "General Zhenbei's words are reasonable." But anyone can see that Yong Kai is a little dissatisfied.

The Zhenbei General smiled awkwardly and retreated.

Yong Kai set his sights on Meng Huo, although Meng Huo's power was too huge because of the differences in tribes during this period.There was a little friction between Yong Kai and Meng Huo.

But after all, now that the Chu army is going south, there will be no eggs under the so-called full nest, and Yong Kai began to trust Meng Huo more.And Meng Huo is also the only famous general in Nanzhong.

"When did you all hear that the Chu army would retreat due to lack of food? That was Cao Cao's work. Besides, the middle of Shu is a country of abundance. Although Liu Zhang is weak, his food reserves are probably comparable to that of Chu, which was feuded by the bandits. Even if the transportation route is a little longer and a little farther, it will consume a lot of farmers, and there will be no shortage of food. Therefore, there will be no way out if you stick to it.” Meng Huo’s mood at the moment is similar to that of Yong Kai, and he does not stand on the sidelines Yes, he said in a serious tone.

It's not that Meng Huo looked down on Cao Mengde, but that's the truth.Cao Cao's north is already riddled with holes, and every time a war is fought, food must be counted.

It is best to send troops in winter and return them in spring.But Kou Feng's southeastern state of Chu was extremely rich.

Meng Huo had indeed never heard of a time when Kou Feng led his troops into battle and would retreat because of food shortages.

"General Meng has said that if Kou Feng wants to support the war with us in Nanzhong, he needs to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to support it. Especially farmers, tens of thousands of people are mobilized. If tens of thousands of people are not producing, they will What will I eat next year? What kind of pressure is this?" Meng Huo's words are absolutely reasonable, but there are still some people who are not convinced, said one of the Pingbei generals who were entrusted by Yong Kai.

"There is enough grain in Sichuan to feed a million people for a year or two." Meng Huo said with a sneer.

"This." General Ping Bei was a little speechless, but it seemed to be the case.The wealth in Sichuan is beyond people's imagination.

"Isn't it okay to stick to it?" Yong Kai was a little flustered when he heard the words. He thought that sticking to it was the only way at present, but the Chu army had no food problem at all, so it was impossible for him to retreat on his own.

They can keep it for half a year, or even a year, but can they keep it for two years?Even if they are not breached, their food will be exhausted.

"Under the current situation, we can't defend to the death. If the king defends the city by himself, I will lead the army outside. The two sides will look for a fighting opportunity to drive Kou Feng away." Meng Huo clasped his fists at Yong Kai.

"Okay." Yong Kai pondered for a moment, and chose to trust Meng Huo.Whether it is Meng Huo's ability or the combat ability of his army, they are enough to fight the Chu army in the field.

"Go and take out all [-] Wei knives." Immediately, Yong Kai even ordered.

"No." A small official next to him promised, and immediately went to deliver the order.After the little official left, Yong Kai said to Meng Huo, "The Chu army has Chu knives. If you fight against them, if you don't have the corresponding weapons, you may suffer. On the contrary, you can defend the city to the death. With the city wall as a backing, you can still support it. Three Thousands of Wei knives, all of them will be given to the general."

"Thank you, King."

Meng Huo thanked him.

Immediately, Meng Huo led Meng You and other barbarian generals down the city, and soon led the army out from the west gate, intending to build a large camp nearby.

"Your Majesty, can Meng Huo be trusted? After all, Meng You brought the news of Kou Feng's return to Xiangyang, but now Kou Feng has appeared outside the city."

A confidant general said to Yong Kai after Meng Huo left.

Just now there was a dispute between General Zhenbei, General Pingbei and Meng Huo. In fact, the core issue is still this.The news that Kou Feng returned to Xiangyang was brought back by Meng You, which is too suspicious.

"If Meng Huo is really rebellious, when I lead my troops to Yunnan, he can occupy the city of Dian with a large army and welcome the bandits into the city. He will not rebel."

Yong Kai said.

In fact, he was also somewhat suspicious, but the most urgent thing was that it was really not the time to be suspicious of one another.

"Promise." Hearing the words, the confidant had no choice but to promise, but the suspicion in his heart was buried.

.........................

"Hahaha, this Dong He really makes Gu happy."

At present, the Chu camp has not been fully established, but Kou Feng's Chinese army tent has already been set up.At this moment, in the big tent, Kou Feng was holding a roll of bamboo slips and laughed loudly.

The bamboo slips are Dong He's official documents, which record in detail the process and results of Yong Kai's crusade against Yunnan.And at present, Dong Hezheng is leading thousands of elite soldiers from Yunnan to go north to connect with him.

Yunnan City was originally a stronghold set up by Kou Feng in Nanzhong.He put Dong He in Yunnan to defend the city.Hold the city until his army arrives.

As long as Yunnan can be kept, the food in Shuzhong can directly depart from Chengdu and reach Yunnan through several counties.

It can support him to march south for a long time.But unexpectedly, Dong He not only defended the city, but also designed and defeated Yong Kai, earning an army of [-] to [-].

It really surprised Kou Feng.Of course, at the same time as the accident, Kou Feng's heart was also full of joy.According to the spies, there are currently about 15 troops in Nanzhong.

Now Yong Kai has lost [-] to [-] soldiers and horses outside the city of Yunnan, which is definitely a big victory for the Chu army.The advantage has grown.

"Dong Taishou's merit is not only great, but also the first merit of the emperor's southern expedition. It should be rewarded generously to motivate the soldiers." In the big tent, except for Kou Feng, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song and others were all there.

Zhang Song raised his fist at Kou Feng and said.

"Well. According to Gu's order, Nanzhong will be named Nanzhou, Dong He will be named the governor of Nanzhou, and he will be given the title of Marquis of Guannei. For the time being, he will hang the title of General Dangnan on him."

Kou Feng nodded and ordered.

Like Jingzhou, Yizhou is huge.Kou Feng split Yizhou into Jingnan and Jingbei.It also meant that Lietu Nanzhong was a new state.

It happened that Dong He made another great contribution, so he took advantage of the trend.

Originally, the official positions of Chu State had always been civil and military non-interference.Those who command the army are the ones who command the army, and the civil servants are the civil servants.However, Dong He is special.

Previously, it was Kou Feng who gave Dong He the title of General Dangnan in order to reassure Dong He.This will be taken back sooner or later, but considering the current war, Dong He still has to lead the army.

For the time being.

"Promise." Zhang Song promised, and immediately went down to draft the document.

"Sitting alone in the southeast, annexing the land of Shu. You didn't become the king. If you become the king of the South, you will be in a mess if you have a great talent under your tent." After Zhang Song left, Kou Feng was still in a very good mood.He looked at the south with pleasure.
