Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 305 Chu Army Enters the Pass (7)

Wu Ziyou soon joined Zhao Kang's command and went south to Bashu to persuade the barbarians for Zhao Kang.Whether it was an alliance or a service, Wu Ziyou soon conquered more than a dozen barbarian tribes.

And Zhao Kang sent people to join forces with the Baima, Di, and Ranlong clans. The three clans knew that Zhao Kang was Zhao Gao's nephew, and even agreed to join forces with Zhao Kang to attack Shu County.However, Zhao Kang was required to provide weapons and armor, as well as food and supplies.

After receiving the report, Zhao Kang immediately ordered people to transport the weapons, armor, food, grass and supplies needed by 2 horses to Baijiang first, and then sent Duwei Zhao Shi and He Hui's younger brother, Xiaowei He Hui, to lead [-] troops into Jiameng Pass.

After Zhao Shi's army arrived, Lei Shu, the guard of Jiameng Pass, opened the city to offer the pass.After Zhao Kang got the report, he added Zhao Shi as partial general, Lei Shu and He Hui as captains, and ordered them to wait in Jiameng for reinforcements from barbarians.

Hanzhong began to expand its army after uniting the three tribes including Baima and subduing dozens of barbarian tribes.In addition to Jiameng's 5000 troops, Fangling, Xunyang, and Shangyong each had [-] troops, Gudao, Chenggu, and Xiedao each had [-] troops, and Nanzheng had [-] troops.

Zhao Kang has 2 descendants of the Qin people in Guanzhong alone, plus 13 horses from the three tribes, and [-] combined troops from dozens of barbarian tribes.It controls more than [-] soldiers and motors!
Unlike Zhao Kang's growing strength, Bashu and Shu counties have fewer and fewer soldiers.There were barbarian people who left the barracks and returned to the tribe. The governors of the two counties of Bashu did not dare to force the rebellion against the barbarians and did not take any measures.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Kang sent [-] troops to attack Shu County, using He Qi as the commander-in-chief, Wu Ziyou as the military adviser, and Huang Yu, the governor of Shu County, as an excuse for not accepting the order of the court.Jia Meng's army left [-] guards, and the remaining [-] were led by Lei Shu to follow He Qi to the south.He Hui stayed in Jiameng, and Zhao Shi was transferred back to Nanzheng.

At the same time, He Hu, the younger brother of He Qi, was ordered to command [-] soldiers and horses to go south to Ba County to take over Langzhong.Wu Hong, the guard of Langzhong, was first named captain by Zhao Kang, and then transferred to Nanzheng to wait for orders.

The [-] Baima tribal allied forces first captured Jiandi County in the northwest of Shu County, and then mixed with the troops of Jiandi Zuo Jinman and Liao tribes, a total of more than [-] troops marched towards Chengdu, the prefecture of Shu County.

At this time, there were only [-] soldiers from the Qin people left in the hands of Huang Yu, the prefect of Shu County, and nearly [-] were recruits with no combat power. After learning that Jiandi County was broken, Huang Ku sent the county captain Meng Wei to lead the army. [-] stationed in the area of ​​Maowen for defense.

He also recalled all the troops stationed in the counties to Chengdu, and ordered people to closely monitor the ministries of the barbarians.

When He Qi arrived in Mianyang with an army of [-] (including [-] Hanzhong troops, [-] Jiamengguan troops, [-] barbarians, and [-] Liao people), Chengdu was greatly shaken.

Shu County, Chengdu.

In the prefect's mansion, Huang Kui summoned the civil and military officials of Shu County who are currently in Chengdu to discuss how to deal with the army from Hanzhong.

Luo Zhang, Supervisor of Shu County, Yang Wanli, Magistrate of Chengdu County, Jiang Hao, Governor of Shu County, Hu Wei, Governor of Chengdu County, Huang Pengfei, Captain of Shu County, A Xiao, Captain of Chengdu County, Yin Tongliu, Zhang Jiu, Chief Officer of Shu County When the seven people heard that the Hanzhong army had captured Mianyang, they each took a deep breath.

"Your Excellency, follow what I said before, and serve as General Zhao Kang!" Hu Wei, the county magistrate of Chengdu County, stood up immediately and cupped his hands.

Huang Kui couldn't help being a little moved when he heard the words, he got the position of county guard originally after he took refuge in Zhao Gao, and now it's all right to take refuge in Zhao Kang.

"Impossible!" Seeing that Huang Kuu was a little moved, Luo Zhang, the governor of the county, stopped him immediately.

Everyone looked at Luo Zhang one after another, and Huang Kui also showed doubts.

When Zhao Kang captured Huang Kuu for the second time, Luo Zhang, the county supervisor, followed Hu Wei to persuade Huang Kuu to join him.Now Hu Wei persuaded Huang Yu to take the initiative to join Zhao Kang, but Luo Zhang stopped him, which made everyone in the hall very puzzled.

"Your Majesty Governor, you can't rely on Zhao Kang now, but you have to try your best to drive Zhao Kang's army and horses out of our Shu County!" Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Zhang knew that they were very puzzled, so he opened his mouth immediately.

"General Zhao Kang has recruited the county guard twice, but was prevaricated by the county guard. The general is the nephew of Prime Minister Zhao Gao. Although he was gentle and elegant in Xianyang, he was arrogant. Being able to recruit the county guard twice has already shown his sincerity. This is also the reason why someone persuaded the county guard when General Zhao recruited for the second time."

"However, the governor insisted on prevaricating General Zhao Kang's envoy regardless of the persuasion of Mr. and Hu Xiancheng. According to General Zhao's character, the governor must have been on General Zhao's must-kill list!"

"Even if General Zhao is enlightened and the sheriff doesn't kill the sheriff after taking the initiative to join him, does the sheriff still think he can stay in Shu County?"

Luo Zhang's words made Huang Kuu sweat coldly in the hot weather.But the rest of the officials in the hall didn't take it seriously. After all, if Zhao Kang wants to master Shu County, he must need them, the children of Shu County's rich families, to take up official positions.

"Then gather the army and fight to the death with the Hanzhong army and Zhao Kang!" Huang Ku wiped the cold sweat off his brow, then stood up and drew out his sword, saying every word.

"Here!" Captain Huang Pengfei, Chengdu County Captain A Xiao, School Captain Yin Tongliu, Zhang Jiu and other civil servants clapped their hands together and said, "Here."

Luo Zhang also followed the four, cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

Seeing this, Yang Wanli, magistrate of Chengdu County, Jiang Hao, magistrate of Shu County, and Hu Wei, magistrate of Chengdu County, had no choice but to stand up and follow the crowd, saying, "Here!"

The three military generals first called the civil servants one step at a time, because Captain Huang Pengfei is Huang Yu's cousin, and only by following his cousin can he continue to hold high positions in the army.

And A Xiao, Yin Tongliu, and Zhang Jiu were all discovered and promoted by Huang Yu, and they thought they couldn't get a high position in Zhao Kang's army, so they had to follow Huang Pengfei to express their attitude first.But the world is impermanent, and the three of them did not expect that they would become generals in Zhao Kang's army in the future, and they would fight against the invading Chu army in Hanzhong for Zhao Kang.

The next day, 8000 people gathered under the city of Chengdu.Two thousand of them are servants of Huang Kui's family. These servants are usually trained to be a sergeant as long as they wear armor and weapons.

After Huang Kuu worshiped the sky, he personally led [-] soldiers and horses to Mianyang.

Seeing the army heading towards Mianyang, the county magistrate Yang Wanli complained to Luo Zhang: "Luo Yushi, why do you have to let Huang Kuu lead the troops to fight that He Qi? Isn't this letting these good boys go to die?"

"If Huang Kuu doesn't go, how can we show our importance? How can we continue to serve as county officials under Zhao Kang's command? Isn't it a good deal to sacrifice thousands of people to keep the major families of our Shu County? Buying or selling?" Looking at the leaving army, Luo Zhang revealed his real plan.

"As soon as Huang Kuu leaves, Shu County will be under the control of our family. When Chengdu is fully controlled, we will send someone to ask General Nanzheng Zhao Kang to surrender! At that time, even if we cannot continue to hold this high position, we can let you Our family has a place in the officialdom of Shu County!"
