Chapter 340: Prefect Jin Xuan

Some people are happy and some are worried. After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zu Mao was naturally happy and hurried forward and bowed to take the order. When Li Jue and Han Dang's second general heard it, they seemed like a deflated ball and could not play any energy. Although they didn't say it, they were very disappointed. They finally waited for the battle, but nothing happened to them. Can they be happy?

"Hehehe..." Guo Jia's generals Li and Han generals looked at the expressions, smiled, paused for a moment, walked to the map in the tent, and marked the area of ​​Wuxi in the map, and said slowly: "In the southwest of Wuling, upstream of the Yuan River, Xiongxi, Luxi, Chenxi, Youxi, Wuxi are called Wuximan. The population of Wuximan is more than 400,000. They are centered on Wuxi County, mostly distributed among the mountains and fields, and live in villages. These people from outside are not polite, cruel, violent, aggressive, and arrogant, looting border areas and gathering crowds to rebel, which is extremely harmful to the four counties in Jingnan."

Guo Jia spoke very slowly, and he knew the meaning of the string sound. Li Jue and Han Dang's faces, which were already extremely disappointed, gradually became hot again. This young military advisor was not just talking and playing, he was going to move soldiers to Wuxi barbarians.

"Jin Xuan of Wuling County is not afraid, but we have to prevent Jin Xuan from taking risks, and will lead Wuxi Man down the mountain and join forces with Wuxi Man to fight against our army. Even if Jin Xuan does not join forces with Wuxi Man, having barbarians like Wuxi Man will not be conducive to our army's rule over the four counties in Jingnan. Therefore, after deciding to take this opportunity to capture Wuxi Mandu, Wuxi Man can use it best. If they cannot, they will be destroyed and afraid to beat them, so that they will be afraid of our army and will never dare to steal."

Guo Jia is not in vain to stay in Changsha during this period. It seems that he is doing nothing all day long. In fact, his attention has long been focused on Wuximan and collected a large amount of information about Wuximan.

In Guo Jia's opinion, Wuling is already a piece of meat in his mouth, and he can eat whatever he wants, but Wuximan is different. Attacking Wuling County can no longer arouse Guo Jia's interest. If Wuximan can be taken down, it would be a bit of a challenge.

"I'll ask the military advisor to give the order!" Li Jue and the second general Han Dang became interested in hearing this. For them, it would be good if they could have a war, no matter whether he was a barbarian or something. Even if Guo Jia asked them to go to Jiaozhou, they would agree.

"Okay! Then ask the two generals to lead 20,000 troops to capture Wuxi Mandu. Of course, this military advisor will also accompany the army." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"As for the order!" Li Jue and the second general Han Dang received the order happily.

Now that the three generals have a heavy responsibility, they are all very happy and excitedly walk out of the tent of the matter.

The next day, the 50,000 troops of the Yinhu Camp of Zhenxi Army were divided into three. Zumao led 10,000 troops to attack Wuling County, Guo Jia, Li Jue and Han Dang led 20,000 troops to Wuxi. He left 20,000 troops to stay in the camp and guarded the other three counties in Jingnan.

After the Zhenxi Army captured the Eastern Wu, the land of the Eastern Wu was connected with the counties in Jingnan. The Yinhu Camp in Jingnan and the Fengmeixiang Camp in Jiangdong had already responded to each other in a long way. On the river were two powerful naval armies guarded by the Zhenxi Army, and the entire Yangtze River defense line was in the hands of the Zhenxi Army. Guo Jia believed that 20,000 Silverhu Camp troops in Jingnan were enough.

Jin Xuan, whose courtesy name is Yuanji, was born in Jingzhao. He was said to be the chief minister of Wuling County after Emperor Wu's attendant Jin Rishi.

Jin Xuan, who was in his thirties, climbed to such a high position. In addition to the Yu Yin of Ang Zhao's ancestors, he also had some real talents and knowledge. After Jin Xuan became the prefect of Wuling County, he rectified military troops internally, paid attention to people's livelihood, and eased the trade with Wuxi Mandu. After taking office for a few years, the people of Wuling County lived and worked in peace and contentment, and were much happier than the people of the Central Plains who were in the midst of war. Therefore, Jin Xuan was highly respected by the people in Wuling County and got along well with Wuxi Mandu.

Jin Xuan, who had a very beautiful and happy life, after the Zhenxi Army captured Changsha, Guiyang, and Jingnan counties in Lingling, felt like a disaster was coming. He often couldn't sit and lie down, and could not eat well or sleep well. Half a year passed, and Jin Xuan had already lost a lot of weight.

The Zhenxi Army fought but did not fight, but also stationed heavy troops around Wuling, which made Jin Xuan very helpless and felt pressured. He didn't know when the Zhenxi Army would attack his Wuling County and when the troops would be at the foot of Linyuan City, the capital of Wuling County.

Although Jin Xuan is not a hero, he doesn't want to be inferior to others.

Surrender, you are unwilling to accept it! Resist, but you are not strong enough!

Without breaking out in silence, he would perish in silence! Jin Xuan was also behind the general. The blood of the grassland nomadic people flowed in his body. He was unwilling to live mediocrely, so he chose to fight. With the obscene army approaching the border, Jin Xuan was on the one hand preparing for war, and on the other hand, he contacted the barbarian king Shamoke, preparing to join forces with the Wuxi Man to fight against the Zhenxi Army.

Although the barbarians did not learn education and did not pay attention to etiquette, they valued loyalty. On the one hand, Jin Shi valued profit, and on the other hand, he moved him with emotion and reason. The barbarian king Shamoke finally agreed to send troops to help Jin Xuan and fight against the Zhenxi Army together.

On this day, Jin Xuan was in the prefect's mansion of Linyuan City, and a whistle and fast horse came to report that the army in the west was coming.

The Zhenxi Army was approaching the border. Although Jin Xuan did not have the capital to challenge the Zhenxi Army, he also sent a lot of secret sentries on the border to monitor the every move of the Zhenxi Army. In addition, Jin Xuan was not bad to the people, and the people of Wuling County also became Jin Xuan's eyes and ears. Therefore, Zu Mao's 10,000 troops were discovered by the secret sent by Jin Xuan as soon as they entered Wuling territory.

"The person who comes, I will be engaged in Gong Zhi."

After listening to the report of the whistle cavalry, Jin Xuan still sighed inwardly, saying that what should come is always coming. It is a blessing, not a disaster, but a disaster, and it is a disaster! At this time, Jin Xuan felt a little relaxed.

"No!" The guards took the order and went to call Gong Zhi.

Gong Zhi was under Jin Xuan's command, and his functions were similar to those of a strategist. He helped Jin Xuan handle some government affairs in daily life, and served as Jin Xuan's adviser in wartime, giving advice to Jin Xuan. Gong Zhi followed Jin Xuan for many years and was loyal to Jin Xuan, and was quite talented in his character, and was deeply credited by Jin Xuan.

"The lord is looking for subordinates!" After a moment, Gong Zhi entered Jin Xuan's study with panting.

"Gong Zhi! I just received the military newspaper and the army in the west is here." Jin Xuan looked up at Gong Zhi and said with a heavy heart.

"How many troops did Zhenxi Army come?" Gong Zhi did not show too much surprise. After Zhenxi Army captured Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling counties, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

"There are about 10,000 invaders." Jin Xuan replied.

"As far as my subordinates know, the Zhenxi Army has 50,000 troops stationed in Jingnan, why did he only send 10,000 troops here?" Gong Zhi frowned slightly and asked.

"When the Zhenxi Army attacked the other three counties, they only sent about 10,000 troops. I believe the Zhenxi Army thought that 10,000 troops were enough to capture my Wuling?" Jin Xuan said a little bitterly.

"If the 10,000 Zhenxi Army was not prepared, it would not be difficult to capture Wuling County. But now the lord is prepared for a long time. The lord wants to use the 10,000 army to capture Wuling, which is a bit too much. However, the lord uses a strange military force, and his subordinates are afraid that he has a backup plan, so the lord must be careful. Please send someone to quickly find out the trends of the other army in Zhenxi Army." Gong Zhi, as a strategist, was meticulous and considering problems much more comprehensive than Jin Xuan.

"Gong is very engaging in what he said. I will send someone to find out the movements of the rest of the Zhenxi Army." Jin Xuan nodded constantly when he heard Gong Zhi's words.

"A man came, I ordered a secret whistle to quickly find out the direction of the western army. If there is any abnormal movement, I will report it immediately." Jin Xuan was also impatient and had to do what he thought of immediately.

Dozens of whistle cavalry received orders and quickly conveyed Jin Xuan's orders.

"Can Gong have a solution to this 10,000 army?" After passing the order, Jin Xuan asked Gong Zhi with some hope.

"Wuling mountains are incredibly dangerous, and our army has the right time, place and people. If it were just one thousand towns of the Western Army, our army would only need to defend the city and protect the city without losing it. What's more, there are 50,000 foreign aids in Wuxi, and our army will win." Gong Zhi said it very slowly, but he had a strong confidence. With the geographical advantages of Linyuan City, Gong Zhi was really sure to defend the city.

"I heard that the Zhenxi Army had any throwing car and oil bomb, which was extremely powerful. Can we defend it?" Although Jin Xuan was very confident in Gong Zhi, he was still a little worried when facing the Zhenxi Army that was invincible.

"Lord, don't worry, the subordinates have found a way to crack the stone casting car and oil bombs of Zhenxi Army." Gong Zhi replied.

"Really?" Jin Xuan showed a look of joy on his face after hearing this.

"How dare I deceive my subordinates? The lord will know when the time comes." Gong Zhi replied confidently.

"Okay! So I'll send someone to notify the Barbarian King to send troops! I will definitely keep these 10,000 Western Army in Linyuan City." Jin Xuan was excited when he heard Gong Zhi cracking the killer weapon of the Western Army, the rock-catted car, and the two powerful weapons of oil bombs, as if he had a dose of a cardiotropic agent. He also had a long-lost smile on his face, which had been frowning for many days.

Jin Xuan was like Yuan Shu at the time, as if he saw victory waving to him.

The two discussed the method of defending the city for a while, and then acted separately. Jin Xuan sent people to Wuxi Barbarian City and urged the barbarian king Shamoke to send troops. Gong Zhi was responsible for defending the city in Linyuan City.

Five days later, Zu Mao's army, led by a guide who was familiar with the terrain, finally arrived in Linyuan City. Zu Mao set up a village ten miles away from the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The next day, Zu Mao personally led a three thousand army out of the camp and headed to Linyuan City. His main purpose this time was not to call for formation or to attack the city, but to observe the terrain and find a way to break the city.

Zu Mao led his troops to the city. After a closer look, he was surprised. Although Linyuan City is not very large, it was built on the mountain. The entire city wall is made of bluestone, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
