The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 329 Arriving at Wu County for the First Time
Yan Baihu finally made up his mind.

He ordered the mobilization of troops from various cities to the territory of Wucheng.Only some troops were left behind in each city, and the rest of the troops were all dispatched.

It also included the troops temporarily recruited by Yan Baihu's subordinates, and finally assembled in Wucheng County, which turned out to be as many as 5 people.

Among them, Yan Baihu's cronies, that is to say, the bandits under his command, numbered 3 people. Of the remaining 2 people, half of them were soldiers and horses originally stationed in various cities, and they were all brought here.

These soldiers, in Wucheng County, are much safer than staying where they used to be. At least they can't do anything under their noses.

The other half are newly recruited recruits.Yan Baihu used improper means to occupy the various cities. There is no doubt that he recruited these recruits by means of forced conscripts.

Although these strong men were unwilling in their hearts, Yan Baihu was too powerful to resist after all, so they could only obey Yan Baihu's orders.

In fact, there are more than 3 bandit soldiers under Yan Baihu's command, and the rest of the bandit soldiers, because they stayed behind, are all in various cities, so there are only [-] bandit soldiers here.

The reason why Yan Baihu can have so many bandit soldiers is thanks to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.It was after the Yellow Turban Rebellion that chaos broke out everywhere, and bandits came and went one after another.

And Yan Baihu also took this opportunity to subdue the bandits. After a few years, he subdued most of the bandit forces in the entire Wu County.

Moreover, the bandits in Wu County were not only locals from Wu County, but also from Kuaiji.Because the mountains in Kuaiji County are all occupied by Shanyue people, even if they want to be bandits, it is difficult, so they came to Wu County to grab the territory.

Yan Baihu subdued these bandits, not simply by force, but by a combination of kindness and majesty, first with a stick and then with money.

In this way, it can be said that the effect is quite good, and everyone is looking forward to it.

But in this way, there is also a big problem, that is, it requires too much money.The Yan family is not a top-notch family like the Yuan family. Although they are considered rich, it is absolutely impossible to afford the expenses of an army with so many people.

Therefore, Yan Baihu asked these bandits to continue to remain the same, and they should rob and rob. He set a time and sent a sum of money to them.In this way, it not only wins people's hearts, but also reduces costs.

If these bandits have a big business and make a lot of money, they will give some to Yan Baihu, which can be regarded as a reward for Yan Baihu.

Not long ago, Yan Baihu decided to take action, that is, to assign these bandits to each other, and it was time for them to play their role.

Having robbed Wu County, Yan Baihu had to make a lot of money. With this money, it would be no problem to raise these thieves alone in the future.

After all, this is not the small money of each family, but the money of the entire Wu County, every storehouse, and every wealthy family. At this moment, the money is gathered together. Naturally, the amount is huge, just like Chen Ran. I have enough confidence.

If the Lu family is released in the future, the money will be gone, and their land can be taken back for people to cultivate, so that people will not starve to death.

Therefore, Chen Ran's goal of weakening the Wujun family has been achieved.

Seeing how magnificent and powerful this large army is, Yan Baihu inexplicably became more confident and heaved a sigh of relief.

……

After several days of running around, Chen Ran finally led the army into the territory of Wu County.

After passing the Guzhang, it is Wu Cheng.

Because most of the soldiers under Chen Ran's command were infantry, the marching speed was really not fast.

Along the way, Chen Ran also dispatched scouts to investigate the news.

Chen Ran also has a general grasp of Wu Jun's movements.

Now Wujun can be said to be in a state of turmoil, and the soldiers and horses of the brigade have been transferred to Wucheng County. Judging from this posture, it seems that they want to fight Chen Ran to the death.

Moreover, after the investigation by the scouts, the army transferred to Wucheng County one after another, there were 5 to [-] troops, Chen Ran was also slightly surprised, he did not expect that a mere Wu County could pull up an army of [-] to [-] army of men.

After all, the southeast region is not as rich as the Central Plains region. There may be only a million people in a state, but in the counties, there are only a few hundred thousand people. Yan Baihu has 10 to [-] troops, which is indeed a lot.

Chen Ran did not take Yan Baihu's actions lightly.This Yan Baihu was able to make such iron-blooded methods and mobilize an army to attack Chen Ran, he really has the heart of a hero.

Although the army under his command is considered elite, it is not that elite. Except for killing the god army, the other soldiers are actually not fighters with the heart to fight to the death.

The news brought back by the scouts was also somewhat surprising. Among them, the rebels were the Yan family.The rest of the Wujun family has no followers.

Among them, the Lu family, not only did not cooperate with the Yan family's actions, but also angrily scolded Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Yu, who showed such loyalty, which really surprised Chen Ran.

Speaking of the Lu family, the one Chen Ran remembers the most is naturally Lu Xun of the Lu family, but Chen Ran is also clear that it is too early to think about it now, Lu Xun has not even been born yet, it is Chen Ran who wants to accept him as You can't use it yourself.

After learning the news, Chen Ran pondered for a moment, then asked Huang Zhong and other generals, as well as Jia Xu to be called over to discuss important matters.

When the crowd arrived, Chen Ran told everyone the news, and asked: "Now that Yan Baihu has mobilized heavy troops in Wucheng, I don't think we can fight to the death with him. I don't know where you think the first attack is the best?"

Chen Ran was not prepared to be tough with Yan Baihu. Although Chen Ran didn't know the strength of the soldiers under Yan Baihu's command, it would be too costly to be tough.If he could reduce the loss and defeat Yan Baihu, Chen Ran would never choose to be tough.

Jia Xu stroked his beard, nodded and said: "This Yan Baihu made such a choice, obviously because he wanted to fight our army to the death, but he couldn't even care about other places."

"However, although Yan Baihu's behavior may cause problems in other counties in Wu County, if he can defeat our army, he will naturally be able to take the opportunity to subdue it." Jia Xu said frankly.

"This Yan Baihu mobilized a large army in Wucheng County, and the guards in the city are not weak. If it is a strong attack, it will be disadvantageous for our army. After all, the people under the command of the lord are only [-] people." Jia Xu analyzed with a smile.

"That's why the subordinates think that if they want to deal with Yan Baihu, they should first lure him into battle, and then use tactics to destroy him." Jia Xu added.

Chen Ran was a little surprised and asked: "Yan Baihu is defending the city at this moment, does the military division have a plan?"

Jia Xu nodded naturally and said, "My lord, don't worry, it's all you need..."
