Xu is a strong city that is difficult to break in a short period of time. Instead of fighting with Cao Cao, it is better to temporarily retreat to Zhongmu, Changshe, keep a distance from Cao's army, and first settle the Southern Barbarians!

After Wu Shun decided to withdraw his troops, Xu Shu and Fa Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Yizhou was unstable and the Wuling army could not feel at ease in fighting abroad.

Fortunately, they are currently taking the initiative and can retreat now and fight back later.

"The Qinglong Legion, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Canglang Legion have returned to Yizhou. It is only a matter of time before the Southern Barbarians are wiped out. Now we are here, we only need to deal with Cao Cao."

Wu Shun said this to give confidence to the generals and to give himself a reassurance.

Wei Yan and the others have not returned to Yizhou yet, and no one knows what the strength of the Southern Barbarians is.

"Meng Huo's son is ungrateful, but he's lucky that his elder brother is still worthy of his brother."

Zhang Xiong was very angry. He had been to Nanman, and he thought Meng Huo was not bad. How could he know that the person he thought was good today actually ruined his elder brother's good deeds.

"Everything is due to interests! Cao Cao gives him more, so he will get along with Cao Cao."

Wu Shun said indifferently.

Among the princes, he only talked about interests, and he could see this clearly.

"Brother, let me take Baihu Camp back."

Zhang Xiong asked.

"The White Tiger Camp is of great use here and can shock the Cao army, and do not move lightly!"

Wu Shun disagreed with Zhang Xiong's request. Not only did the White Tiger Camp not move, but the remaining legions could not move lightly.

Cao Cao won't wait for you to transfer your troops back before attacking.

As long as Cao Cao knew that the Wuling Army was not strong enough to guard the two places of Zhongmu Changshe, Cao's army would definitely dispatch and take back the lost land.

Wu Shun was unwilling to waste his previous efforts, so he only let the cavalry return to Yizhou. The remaining White Tiger Legion, Xuanwu Legion, and Suzaku Legion were all experts in defending the city.

Moreover, with the personal guard camp and the Qilin cavalry, a total of 4,000 cavalrymen, you can also harass Cao Cao in time and make Cao Cao live so comfortable.

...

In Chibi, a fleet is surging along the river.

Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning, who were originally planning to go to Jiangxia to support Sun Ce, returned to the army.

The news of the Southern Barbarians' invasion of Yizhou reached Zhuge Liang first, and then the Jiaolong fleet returned to the voyage, preparing to meet Wuling County, gather soldiers and wipe out the barbarians.

"The lord has sent 70,000 cavalry back to Yizhou, and the Canglang Legion is also on the way. This time, we will definitely invade the Southern Barbarians and settle him!"

On the No. 01 battleship, Gan Ning was full of murderous aura.

"This is natural, internal instability, how to fight outside the world! You must destroy the southern barbarians quickly and cannot affect the lord's war in the north."

Zhuge Liang said.

He had received an order from Wu Shun, asking him to command the full power to clear the Meng Huo matter. What Wu Shun thought was that Zhuge Liang was also a fair man in history, so he simply let Zhuge Liang go this time.

"Go forward at full speed, we are going back to Wuling County and fight the Southern Barbarians!"

Disliked the slow speed of the warships, Gan Ning ordered to speed up again...

In November of the 11th year of Jian'an, Wei Yan and Ma Chao returned to Chengdu and quickly arranged Chengdu's defense. Because Chengdu City had no walls, the Wuling Army would not let the enemy attack here.

After leaving Pei Yuanshao to lead 20,000 cavalry to guard Chengdu, Wei Yan and Ma Chao led 50,000 cavalry to attack Jingke County.

In the same month, Zhuge Liang and the Jiaolong fleet returned to Wuling County, recruiting county soldiers here, hoping to attack the southern barbarians.

As Wu Shun opened two battlefields, the Wuling army's troops were relatively scattered, and the defensive forces in southern Yizhou wanted to be weak.

Meng Huo suddenly rose up and directly entered Jingke County. The barbarians were used to suffering in the bitter and cold land of the Southern Barbarians. This time they entered the city, they were not ready to go back.

After Meng Huo entered Jingke County, his fear of Wu Shun was reduced a lot. Because it was too easy for him to capture a county in Yizhou.

After having a sense of accomplishment, Meng Huo relaxed the management of the barbarian soldiers, resulting in some barbarian soldiers doing whatever they wanted in the Jingke County, almost doing all the things that were harmful to the world.

Now the people here are looking forward to the Wuling Army returning day and night to save them from the sea of ​​suffering!

The people in Jingke County did not wait long, and Wu Shun made arrangements as soon as he received the news.

The Wuling Army was very fast, and soon Wei Yan and the others entered the territory of Jingke County.

"Chief Wen, we are all cavalrymen. It would be difficult to deal with if the barbarian soldiers retreated to the city and didn't come out."

Ma Chao said.

The cavalry has strong impact and sufficient lethality. However, siege is a weakness. Cracking soil and siege requires the number of people to operate.

There is no Suzaku Legion here and no one can cover it.

"Meng Qi, do you have any ideas?"

Wei Yan asked.

This time Wu Shun sent the two of them back first to give Meng Huo a wake-up call.

If the pain is not hurt all of a sudden, the barbarian soldiers will be even more unscrupulous.

When they entered Ji Ke County, the Wuling Army and Meng Huo's barbarians had encountered several times. Some barbarians went out to burn, kill, loot, and were naturally strangled to death by cavalry.

Perhaps it was because the soldiers omitted that during the strangulation, a few barbarians escaped, allowing Meng Huo to know the news that the Wuling Army's cavalry returned to aid.

Now, in order to concentrate efforts to resist the Wuling Army's clearance, Meng Huo has gathered the barbarians as much as possible and concentrated them in Qilan County, the capital of Jike County.

If you want to break into the city, Wei Yan and Ma Chao must get along with a way to break the city.

"To be honest, it's okay to let me command cavalry to fight. It's hard for me to think of such a plan with my head."

Ma Chao really couldn't think of any way, so he could only make a fool of himself in front of Wei Yan.

"If it really doesn't work, let's hold on here and wait for Military Advisor Zhuge to come."

Wei Yan said helplessly.

His head is very useful, but he doesn't know why he doesn't work well when he gets here.

Anyway, Zhuge Liang also came all the way from Wuling County, and waited for a few more days. Maybe Shi Zhongyu also arrived at that time.

The Wuling cavalry could not break the city, but they patrol and sweep the city all day long. The barbarians were so scared that they dared to retreat into the city.

Mid-November of the eleventh year of Jian'an.

Zhuge Liang led his troops to meet with Wei Yan and Ma Chao. At the same time, Shi Zhongyu and Canglang Legion arrived late.

Running from the north to the south, the soldiers of the Canglang Legion all ran like dead dogs.

"The lord ordered us to repel Meng Huo as soon as possible and pacify the Southern Barbarians. I wonder what the generals think?"

After the meeting, Zhuge Liang presided over the discussion.

"Military advisor, please give the order directly. Let's listen to you."

Shi Zhongyu is also a bachelor. If you think about problems, you have a high IQ like Zhuge Liang, so where is he going?

"Military advisor, you'd better arrange it."

Ma Chao felt that Shi Zhongyu’s words were fine. With a military advisor here, do they still want to fight?

"General Wei, can we defeat the enemy?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Wei Yan has always been a more thoughtful general in the Wuling Army. Zhuge Liang also wanted to hear his opinions.

"Military advisor, don't make things difficult for me."

Wei Yan looked helpless.

If he had left, he would have been in the city long ago. Will Meng Huo be so carefree in Guqilan County?

"My generals, our Wuling army is too strong, and the barbarians dare not leave the city. In this way, we can lead the snake out of the hole..."

Zhuge Liang carefully told what he was thinking to the generals present.

"This plan is feasible for military advisors!"

"With a military advisor here, it's easy to defeat Meng Huo!"

"The military advisor is a good strategy!"

The generals were flattering, and Zhuge Liang didn't care.
Chapter completed!
