Chapter 269 Fa Xiaozhi (2/5)
The wars were fired in the Central Han Dynasty, and wars broke out everywhere.
The princes from all sides conquered and fought endlessly.
Han Fu, Liu Dai and Liu Yu originally intended to compete with Fang Mu to stop him from going south, but with Liu Yu, Han Fu was killed and Kong Rong committed suicide. Fang Mu's sweep across the north was no longer able to stop him.
Dong Zhuo withdrew from the North to compete with Fang Mu for the Northern Hegemony and went south to seize Jing and Yizhou.
Even if Liu Dai had Li Dian's defense, although Li Dian was conscientious in defense, he could not make up the situation when facing Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang He, Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing, Dian Wei, Qu Yi, Li Ling and Gao Shun's luxurious lineup.
I could only silently receive the continuous reports of fallen wars from all counties under the rule of Yanzhou.
At this moment, Li Dian felt a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration.
"Lord, our army is in a desperate situation. Please decide how to act." Li Dian bowed deeply to Liu Dai.
Liu Dai said unwillingly: "Is there really no chance?"
Li Dian shook his head and carefully analyzed the situation today for Liu Dai.
Fang Mu has occupied Youzhou and is now attacking Bingzhou. When he completely occupied Youbing and the two prefectures, plus the Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou that have been acquired, they will have the land of five prefectures.
Fang Mu, the thirteen states in the world, owned five of them.
Even if Tao Qian, Yuan Shu and others from Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places could barely resist Fang Mu's army, they would still be difficult to make progress.
"The thief really cannot be removed." Liu Dai sighed.
He is the most worried about the royal family.
Because he knew very well that his identity was because of the Han Dynasty, he could have his current special status. Without the Han Dynasty, he would be nothing.
Therefore, he has always been committed to maintaining the orthodox imperial power of the Han Dynasty.
But unexpectedly, it failed.
"Zhu Jun is a mistake for the man." Liu Dai sighed.
If Zhu Yan hadn't given Fang Mu the opportunity to stand out, how could there be the disaster today?
......
Dong Zhuo led the army south, and Liu Yan sent five people, Wu Yi, Meng Da, Wu Lan, Yan Yan and Zhang Song, to defend.
At this time, another war came from behind, and Meng Huo led the Southern Barbarians to invade.
All the generals were sent out, and there was no one behind the rear at this moment, and Liu Yan was shocked.
"What should I do?" Liu Yan crossed the steps back and forth.
He asked the counselors around him for their solutions, but no one could lead the army.
"Huang Quan, you go and issue a recruitment order and summon heroes to resist the Southern Barbarians." Liu Yan made up his mind.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared in the last row of civil officials beside him, "Why should you worry about the mere Southern Barbarians? If the lord is trusted, I only need to give me a 10,000 army to pacify the Southern Barbarians."
The other strategists looked at each other and saw the man standing in the tail row. He was obviously not tall, with a majestic face and a blue shirt.
"Who is this?"
Liu Yan asked his side.
"You are the lord, this person is named Fazheng, and is the grandson of the famous scholar Fazhen. He is a good friend of Meng Da. He has just joined the lord's command recently." said the chief clerk Huang Quan.
I heard that it was Mr. Xuande's grandson, and Liu Yan looked a little worried. He was a person who valued his background.
Liu Yan looked at Fa Zheng and his appearance was indeed not bad. It was a pity that he was at the moment. It would be fine if he was down-to-earth, but unfortunately he was a prodigal son who liked to talk big.
"You can defeat the Southern Barbarians by giving you 10,000 people? Do you know how many barbarians there were invasion in the Southern Barbarians, a total of 100,000!" Liu Yan said coldly, "Even if General Yan is here, he dare not say that he will return the 100,000 yuan. You go down." After saying that, Liu Yan asked Fa Zheng to retreat.
He did not kill Fazheng away because he was a scholar.
Fa Zheng was silent for a moment, then said slowly and quickly: "Fa Zheng is willing to issue a military order, and I also ask the provincial governor to allow it."
"Okay, I will give you ten thousand people and give you the right to recruit soldiers independently. You can recruit soldiers at will at will in the three southern counties of Yizhou. You can do it yourself. You can defeat the Southern Barbarians within a year. If you fail to succeed, you will come to see me with your head. If you retreat now, I will be your young and frivolous life." Liu Yan said.
"Thank you, sir, for Fa Zheng obeying the order." Fa Zheng said respectfully, with a respectful attitude and a calm and confident tone.
Huang Quan said worriedly: "Sir, is it really OK?"
This Fa Zheng is young, what if he loses four counties?
Liu Yan narrowed his eyes and touched the beard on his chin and said, "I have asked him again and again. As long as this Fa Zheng is not a fool, he will not show off. Since he dares to agree, he is really capable, so what if he asks him to try it? It is a merit to delay the Southern Barbarians. Those barbarians dare not occupy the county town, and they can only rob at most."
"In addition, let Cheng Ji go to recruit soldiers. Although he sent that young boy, we have to make second-hand preparations. If the barbarian really wants to take advantage of the situation, he can only recruit the generals on the front line to return to the aid."
The most troublesome thing about the Southern Barbarians is that they just plunder and never occupy territory, just like the Huns.
This has both advantages and disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that it cannot occupy territory and obtain continuous resources, while the advantage is that it is unstable and difficult to encircle and suppress.
Over time, the local tyrants and people of the four counties in southern Yizhou that had been robbed for a long time have built fortresses and parodies to spontaneously resist the Southern Barbarians.
These southern barbarians are like robbers. Every time they enter their master's house, they will snatch some of the things and leave.
The reason why Liu Yan was alarmed this time was mainly because there were too many barbarians who invaded.
There were a total of 100,000 people, and before that, it was only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people each year.
Yizhou is very large, and it is the largest state in Zhonghan, and it is even larger than the two or three states.
If it were later generations, it could include the territory of the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing, and even some Myanmar, which is the territory of Yizhou.
It took Fa Zheng a half month to arrive at the three southern counties.
Yongchang, Jianning, Yuejun.
After arriving in the three southern counties, Fazheng collected intelligence and recruited troops. At the same time, he issued a letter of conscription in various counties to conquer the southern barbarians.
Therefore, Meng Huo launched a large-scale invasion and plundered, burning and killing along the way, killing and injuring countless people, which also caused countless people to be displaced and Meng Huo to have blood feud.
Therefore, there are many people joining the army to take revenge, and more than 30,000 people were recruited in just over a month.
After Fa Zheng recruited people, he summoned officials from various counties to inquire and inspect them one by one, and finally promoted local talent Li Hui, the supervisor of Jianning County, as the chief general.
Fa Zheng is clear in his heart. If he is talking about strategy or politics, no one in Yizhou can compare with him, but if he is in charge of commanding troops and fighting, he still needs professionals to serve as the chief general.
But he also has confidence. As long as he is not capable of being too poor, he will definitely defeat Meng Huo with his support.
After Li Hui took power, he actively prepared for war and trained the army.
Fa Zheng did not continue to attack, but was waiting for an opportunity.
When the three southern counties were invaded by the Southern Barbarians, they finally took the initiative to attack Meng Huo when the public was resentful and angry.
Before the attack, Fa Zheng said to Li Hui: "The Southern Barbarians' vine armored soldiers are invulnerable to swords and guns. If there is no special method, it is difficult to fight against them. However, I checked the records of local counties and counties. Twenty years ago, there was a vine armored soldier that was short-lived. Although the number of vine armored soldiers was not large and they were defeated quickly, they also recorded the method of dealing with vine armored soldiers, which is to use fire attack. If you use fire attack in this trip, you will definitely defeat Meng Huo."
