Chapter 74 Sending troops to Nanzhong(2/2)
Zhang Song nodded. Dou E made a lot of sense in Adou Shu. Especially the Gao Ding, who was originally the King of Yueli, had no deep relationship with Yong Kai and Zhu Bao. As long as he could make a profit from Gao Ding, he might be able to really win over Gao Ding.
However, Zhang Song still spoke: "In this way, it is difficult for the rioters and traitors such as Yong Kai to become a climax. However, the roads in the southern barbarians are blocked, the terrain is complex, and with many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, it is difficult to march. The south is a barren land, and this malaria-eating land does not have much significance. Everything in the southern expedition to Meng Huo is of great importance. I think this matter should be considered for the long term and should not be too anxious."
Judging from Zhang Song's meaning, he does not support Nanzheng Meng Huo.
"Master Taiwei, the so-called superior army is the plan to attack Meng Huo this time. I am not going to lead too many troops and horses. Forty or fifty thousand people are enough. However, this battle is not to destroy Meng Huo. The southern barbarians have been self-reliant in the mountains and far away, and have not been convinced of Wang Hua for a long time. They will break today and rebel tomorrow. Therefore, in this battle, the attack is the best, and the attack is the best." A Dou explained.
"Attack the heart?" Zhang Song raised his eyes and immediately understood A Dou's thoughts. Then a hint of relief and excitement appeared on Zhang Song's face.
At this time, Zhang Song had fully understood that Adou planned to take this opportunity to convince the Southern Barbarians and solve the problems of the Southern Barbarians once and for all.
If ordinary people have this plan, Zhang Song may feel disdainful, but A Dou is different. Thinking about A Dou's previous impressive record, Zhang Song does not think that A Dou is talking big. Since A Dou dares to say this, it must be aimless.
Zhang Song and Li Yan looked at each other, and at this time both of them saw a trace of expectation in each other's eyes.
Logically speaking, Liu Bei is now in the northern expedition, and A Dou takes advantage of this time to fight south, it is definitely not a good choice. The Shu army will be in a situation of fighting on both sides. However, if it only has 40,000 to 50,000 troops, it can still be supplied with the food and grass in Chengdu.
Adou has created miracles many times. At this time, both Zhang Song and Li Yan are looking forward to Adou being able to create another miracle. He has always been trying to solve the Southern Barbarians while fighting on both sides.
Although Liu Bei took away several major generals on the expedition, there was still no shortage of powerful generals in Chengdu.
A Dou brought 30,000 troops to support Zhu Ti and Li Hui. At the same time, those who followed the army also followed Guan Suo, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Xiang Chong, Huang Quan, Ma Su, Fu Tong and others. At the same time, A Dou ordered Li Yan to be responsible for the allocation of food and grass.
These 30,000 people were all elite soldiers in Shu. Liu Bei was specially left to A Dou during the Northern Expedition. He allowed A Dou to deal with some emergency situations. Even if an enemy raided at the city of Chengdu, 30,000 people could still defend the previous year, and now it happened to be used to fight Meng Huo in the south.
Zhuti.
The first to arrive at Zhuti were 20,000 people from Zhubao's headquarters.
After Zhu Bao arrived in Zhuti, he did not launch an attack eagerly, but continued to wait. After all, there are more than 10,000 county soldiers under Li Hui now, and with his 20,000 people, it is not worthwhile to attack.
A few days later, Gao Ding also came to Zhuti.
Gao Ding is the King of Yueli Yi, with many soldiers under his command. Now Gao Ding has brought more than 70,000 people to attack Zhuti. Most of these 70,000 people are Yueli Yi, so the equipment and training level is not high. No matter how good these novice people live in barbaric places since childhood, and are used to being brave and fierce. Although the equipment is average, they must not be underestimated.
Yong Kai sent troops from Yongchang, the farthest away from Zhuti, so he arrived at the last one. Yongchang is the largest county in Nanzhong, but most of the population is barbarians. These barbarians usually only listen to Meng Huo's words, and Yong Kai cannot mobilize them, so now Yong Kai only brings 50,000 people.
However, all the 50,000 people of Yong Kai have been trained. The Yong family can rely on the 50,000 people under his command. Although the 50,000 people are not equipped with enough equipment, it is also a powerful combat power in Nanzhong.
The last one of Shamoke's 30,000 Wuxi barbarians arrived. Shamoke was invited by Zhu Bao, who was the prefect of Jinghu, and Jinghu was close to Wuxi, so Zhu Bao was able to invite Shamoke.
Speaking of which, Shamoke arrived a little later than expected, and Shamoke also brought a Han scholar next to him. It is said that he was the Han military advisor who was newly hired by Shamoke, who was very talented. However, the Han military advisor looked a bit strange, that is, this man had no eyebrows.
When Shamoke arrived at Zhuti, Yong Kai and others had already launched several attacks, but they were all blocked by Li Hui with difficulty.
As Adou said, Yong Kai and others were not united. When the three of them got together, they would naturally think of choosing one person as the leader of the alliance, just like the eighteen princes attacking Dong Zhuo and choosing Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance.
Among the three, Gao Ding had the most people and the strongest, so he naturally wanted to be the leader of the alliance. Yong Kai thought that this uprising was advocated by himself, so he should be the leader of the alliance. Yong Kai and Zhu Bao are good friends, and they are not familiar with Gao Ding, so Zhu Bao will naturally help Yong Kai.
In this way, the ratio is two to one, and Gao Ding was at a disadvantage. However, Gao Ding, as the King of Yueli, was overlord of one side, would not be inferior to others? Moreover, Gao Ding had 70,000 people. Yong Kai and Zhu Bao combined, which was as many as Gao Ding, so Gao Ding believed that his voice should be the same as that of Yong Kai and Zhu Bao combined.
Several people were quarreling, and in the end they had to make a compromise, and no one should be the leader.
Then, the three of them discussed for a long time and decided to divide the three into two groups to attack the city, Gao Ding attacked for one day, and Yong Kai and Zhu Bao attacked for one day, and alternated.
However, the three of them had their own ulterior motives and wanted to retain their strength and let others consume it. Therefore, when they were really siege, no one tried their best. As a result, the three of them attacked for more than a month, and even the number of times they climbed to the city was only a handful.
In the city, Li Hui followed Wang Kang's plan and took advantage of the night to carry out a surprise attack, which achieved great results, beheading thousands of people and returning to the city to victory.
