The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 299 Resolving Internal Conflicts
Dongfang Sheng made a decision that no one else could have imagined. He ignored Cao Cao and Liu Biao's coalition forces, and instead started to solve the internal unstable factors.

The first thing to solve is the problem of Liu Zhang, the former Yizhou herdsman. Dongfang Sheng didn't want to kill Liu Zhang, but just moved him to a place, and then sent his own soldiers to guard him, and at the same time sent people to ' Visited Liu Zhang for a while.

Liu Zhang finally gave up on the plan he had talked to the person he was in contact with. He knew that he was no longer able to compete with Dongfang Sheng for Yizhou at this time.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng promised not to harm his wife. This is one of the main reasons why Liu Zhang can't resist.

For those unstable factors of the barbarians, Dongfang Sheng has only one word: kill!

The barbarians in Yizhou have been a scourge since ancient times. When the court was strong, they pretended to submit to them in vain.Once the court is weak, these restless barbarians will take the opportunity to seek independence, and even become bandits who rob houses.

Dongfang Sheng thinks that there is no need for any benevolent means for this kind of guy who is blown on two sides by the wind. He will kill them directly until they are subdued. Ripe pretty.

Shuman refers to the barbarians who have all kinds of farming techniques and have become accustomed to farming life like the Han people. Meng Huo and Shamoke can be regarded as Shuman. They even learned the etiquette and intellectual culture of the Han people.The savages, on the other hand, mostly maintained a certain degree of wildness, similar to the nomads on the grasslands, full of aggressiveness and aggressiveness.

Dongfang Sheng's big stick went on, and there were two completely different voices from all over Yizhou. One was that Dongfang Sheng's practice of not killing the enemy and self-defeating three thousand was seeking his own death. These people thought that Yizhou It will definitely change hands.The other thinks that Dongfang Sheng can cut through the mess quickly so that he can better face foreign enemies.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng, who learned of these two statements, also laughed at other people's views.

But what surprised Dongfang Sheng the most was Meng Huo's rebellion. This guy, as always, was a rebellious boy. Historically, Meng Huo was not a peaceful master.

To deal with Meng Huo, Dongfang Sheng personally brought the newly trained army to go, and in just three days, he had surrounded Meng Huo's stockade.

The stockade made of thick logs was already full of arrows, and there was a layer of corpses piled up on the ground, only Meng Huo's barbarian soldiers, but not a single Dongfang Sheng's army soldier.

This is because Dongfang Sheng will send people over every night to transport his own corpse back.

Meng Huo looked at Dongfang Sheng's camp with a worried face. The warriors in the stockade were seriously injured. Dongfang Sheng brought more powerful soldiers this time. Not only did their attack power increase, but they also knew how to protect themselves.

"Your Majesty!"

A soldier in leather armor who looked like Dongfang Sheng's army ran over from the side and shouted.

Meng Huo's expression changed and he said, "Has the news spread?"

This man is Meng Huo's personal soldier. Last night he was responsible for rushing out of the encirclement to ask Cao Cao for help. He wore the clothes of Dongfang Sheng's soldiers in order to paralyze him.

"My lord, please forgive me. I was caught by them not long after I went out last night." Meng Huo's soldiers lowered their heads in shame.

"You go down first." Meng Huo said calmly without the slightest trace of joy or anger on his face.

The soldier turned around and was about to leave, Meng Huo pulled out his saber and swung it at the neck of the soldier who turned around.

A cavity of blood spurted out immediately, and the soldier's eyes showed an unbelievable look, but his eyes had gradually dimmed.

"Come here, this person is an enemy spy, throw him to feed the wild dogs." Meng Huo shouted.

Immediately, several soldiers came over and carried away the body of the unlucky soldier without saying a word. Meng Huo put his saber back into the scabbard and said loudly: "The reinforcements will arrive early tomorrow morning, and we need to go out of the city to meet them in one go. Tonight, everyone, except those on duty, eat and drink enough to rest, and wait for tomorrow's battle!"

The morale was low, and the listless barbarian soldiers suddenly regained their energy and jumped up one by one, howling.

Meng Huo watched the morale of his soldiers recover, and a bloodthirsty red light flashed in his eyes.

In the opposite camp, Dongfang Sheng was sitting on a chair discussing the military situation with Wang Hu.

The army is controlled by Wang Hu, Chu Jian and Zhao Kai. This time it is Wang Hu and Zhao Kai who accompanied Dongfang Sheng on the expedition, and Chu Jian stayed in Chengdu County.

"Wang Hu, tell me what Meng Huo will do next?" Dongfang Sheng, who was dressed in a blue robe, said to Wang Hu.

When Wang Hu moved his body, the chair creaked and creaked immediately. His strong body squeezed the chair very tightly, so he made some noise when he moved.

"It is estimated that he will think about attacking the camp at night and break out. I think he will break out in the west, and then he will run to Shamoko's territory."

Wang Hu swiped his thick fingers on the sand table, pointing out the route he expected for Meng Huo.

Dongfang Sheng nodded, turned to Zhao Kai and said, "What do you think?"

"I caught a soldier of Meng Huo last night, and he brought Meng Huo's letter to ask for help." Zhao Kai did not directly answer Dongfang Sheng's question, but first talked about an incident last night. The slender fingers raised slightly looked like a pianist rather than a sharpshooter.

"Old Zhao, can you tell the key points?" Wang Hu spit out a mouthful.

Knowing Wang Hu's impatient temper, Zhao Kai didn't bother with him, and continued: "Meng Huo already wanted to ask for help, but I stopped him. When there is no hope of asking for help, there is only one possibility for him to do, which is to fight to the death. .”

"And this time may be at night or tomorrow morning. Of course, Meng Huo will definitely lie to his soldiers that reinforcements have arrived, and he will go out of the city to meet such nonsense to boost morale."

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Zhao Kai with satisfaction and said, "Does Zhongcai have a good plan?"

Zhao Kai pondered and said: "The only plan for now is to take the initiative."

Zhao Kai has been dormant these days, and Wang Hu's power has gradually increased. Dongfang Sheng asked Zhao Kai and Chu Jian to join in for balance. They were originally one of the six captains, and they had nothing to say emotionally, and the three of them divided power It can also prevent the army from being in the hands of one person, which is also conducive to future management.

"Okay, prepare for a night attack at midnight tonight!" Dongfang Sheng made a decision: "You two go back and prepare."

Poor Meng Huo didn't know that he decided to attack the camp tomorrow morning, but he didn't know that Dongfang Sheng was going to strike first.

At three o'clock, Dongfang Sheng had already sneaked under Meng Huo's stockade with two teams of men and horses.
