The name of Guyue comes from the previous dynasty.
The Qianyuan Dynasty lasted for more than a thousand years, and before that, there was another dynasty.
The capital of the previous dynasty was established in Guyue.
Since this dynasty, Guyue City has declined a lot, its political and economic status has continued to decline, and it was eventually reduced to an ordinary city in Yuzhou.
This city is about five hundred miles away from Fufeng City.
When conquering Guyue, we must consider the terrain factors of Guyue - many hills and mountains.
Guyue is a rare piece of hilly land on the Yuzhou Plain. In addition, it is also surrounded by a large number of large swamps, making the terrain complex and changeable.
Wang Meng's army only has a total of more than 10,000 people. It is too difficult to attack Guyue City, which is guarded by tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
Therefore, after Wang Meng's army entered the boundary of Guyue, it slowed down its march.
Fishing and marching, just wait for the other party to lose their composure first.
Unexpectedly, only two days later, a scout came to report that a small group of Wanping Army enemies appeared ahead.
...
Cao Su hurried to Wang Meng.
"grown ups."
Cao Su is now the most popular person in Wang Meng's tent. When the soldiers on both sides saw Cao Su, they quickly saluted.
Cao Su nodded slightly and walked to Wang Meng's side.
Wang Meng had a map in his hand. When Cao Su arrived, he said to Cao Su: "Cao Su, the enemy of the Wanping Army has appeared. I intend to divide the troops to capture the nearby small cities of 'Yanzhong' and 'Yuncheng' first, so as to form an attack on the ancient Yue."
The tendency of double-teaming.”
Cao Su took a look at the map and saw that small cities such as Yanzhong and Yuncheng were very close to here.
From a strategic point of view, there is nothing wrong with taking the small town first.
After passing the supplies in the small town, I am coming to resupply them to fight against the rebels.
"Sir, the Wanping Army must have placed troops in the small city. If they want to capture a city, they must attack with all their strength and capture the city before the Wanping Army can react."
"Our army lacks siege equipment and it is not appropriate to attack the city by force. We must find a way to outwit one of these two cities."
Cao Su gave Wang Meng a suggestion, but he actually didn't agree with seizing the city.
Although seizing the city sounds better in name, it will actually constrain the rebel army.
The rebel army came to Guyue this time just to find the Wanping army to fight in the field, capture the city and then abandon it. This would do too much harm to the morale of the sergeants under their command, so it would be better not to capture the city in the first place.
After Wang Meng thought about it for a while, he also felt that the difficulty of outsmarting him seemed a bit too high.
Falling into a state of hesitation.
"Sir, since there are already traces of the enemy, why don't we send a small team to penetrate into the ancient Yue territory."
"This ancient cross-border area is already mountainous and swampy. Small teams can fight in small groups, which can harass them to the greatest extent. At the same time, if we find opportunities, we can also destroy the food roads."
"When cities such as 'Yanzhong' and 'Yuncheng' can no longer stand, our opportunity will come. This is a wise move, called the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain."
Cao Su proposed a plan to Wang Meng, and Wang Meng was overjoyed after hearing it and praised him for his good deeds.
"Captain Cao has spoken to my heart, and that's exactly what I meant." Wang Meng addressed Cao Su by his official title, obviously approving of Cao Su's plan.
He simply asked directly: "In your opinion, how many teams should be sent?"
"Three squadrons of school captains will march toward Guyue from the north, middle, and south directions. They can gather together in front of Dajuze and form two thousand troops to pretend to attack Yuncheng. Your Excellency, you can personally lead the main force and attack Yanzhong directly.
.”
"We won Yanzhong, which is less than a hundred miles away from Guyue. Even the tens of thousands of soldiers from Guyue City can't get there without leaving."
As long as the Wanping Army in Guyue City moves, the mission of defeating the rebels will be completed.
Cao Su didn't say what was in his heart. They were just a side force and should not be treated as the main force.
The purpose is to circle around and prevent Guyue's Wanping Army from supporting the Tianniu Taoist priests in Xunshan City.
"Shan, I think so too."
Wang Meng smiled with satisfaction again, patted Cao Su on the shoulder, and fully adopted Cao Su's suggestion.
Then, Wang Meng suddenly said seriously.
"Cao Su obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
Cao Su saluted with clasped fists.
"I hereby order you to serve as my first lieutenant and join the army to fight against the rebels. From now on, you will lead your own troops and add five hundred soldiers to fight against the rebels, so that you can gather a thousand people and go to the border of Yuncheng to fight."
Divide your troops and divide your troops again.
Wang Meng briefly thought about it. Although he relied on Cao Su in many places, Cao Su was now the only mid-level force in the rebel army besides him. It would be more effective to lead an army alone to harass the Wanping army.
Cao Su accepted the order in a deep voice.
Then, after discussing some marching matters with Wang Meng, he took the military order and returned to the headquarters.
Cao Su's main men are Zhang Ke, Li Li, and Luo Yi.
His troops are very elite, with six strength realms and more than 300 Qi and blood warriors.
They are among the elite soldiers in today's rebellion army.
Cao Su then picked another 500 sergeants, gathering a thousand men, and led this small force to separate from the main army and take another route.
Among the army, Taoist Qingxiao, who had recovered his magic power, looked at Cao Su's retreating figure and was secretly frightened.
"Taoist Priest, what's wrong?"
Wang Meng saw that Taoist Qingxiao had a strange expression and asked with concern.
Taoist Qingxiao exclaimed: "The rebel army is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The captain who left just now is young, has strong energy and blood, and has strong aura. I'm afraid he has already broken through the internal energy barrier, right?"
It turned out that he was shocked by Cao Su's cultivation level.
Wang Meng smiled and said: "Cao Su is indeed amazingly talented. What's even more rare is that he is a strong general in the army. He is familiar with military books and is proficient in bow and horse. He is also handsome and has a bit of the grace of me when I was young."
After hearing this.
Taoist Qingxiao smiled and said nothing.
.......
Cao Su marched with a thousand troops and horses.
Without Taoist Qingxiao's blessing of wind words and Taoism, the march would not be very fast.
But the victory was that the number of people was small and it was not noisy. It quickly got rid of the rebel army, like a silent sharp knife inserted into the heart of the war.
Cao Su memorized the topographic map of the entire southern area of Yuzhou.
........
Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is located to the north of Guyue City and is a small city with a population of about 50,000.
Since the Wanping Army entered Yuzhou, the entire southern area of Yuzhou has been in chaos.
The most powerful leader of the bandits is of course Tianniu Taoist who lives in Xunshan City. He is said to have more than 100,000 rebels under his command, many of whom are elites.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are two commanders in ancient Yue territory, Bai Cai and Gu Bo, both of whom also have tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
Yuncheng was one of the most important cities in ancient Yue territory.
Yuncheng is backed by Dajuze, and the road to Beiguan is smooth and can be regarded as an important transportation road.
After the Wanping Army occupied Yuncheng, they did not engage in atrocities such as plundering the people's wealth. Instead, they opened warehouses and distributed grain to appease the people. On this basis, they recruited troops and horses, winning the favor of the middle and lower class people.
Wu Nanpu is one of the new warriors who joined the Wanping Army. He is a local warrior in Yuncheng and has broken through the Qi and Blood realm at a young age.
However, the class in Yuncheng is solidified, and even for an outstanding person like him, it doesn't matter, it's very difficult for him to get ahead.
For a long time, he could only work as a guard in a large household.
After the arrival of Wanpingjun, Wu Nanpu seemed to see a new path.
A brand new road that goes straight to the top without class barriers.
So when the Wanping Army showed excellent qualities and recruited local troops, Wu Nanpu made a prompt decision and joined the Wanping Army.
Because he was a master of the Qi and Blood realm, he was immediately appointed as a centurion by the Wanping Army.
Reach the sky in one step!
Back then, he worked hard but could not get recognition.
But now, the Wanping Army is a meritocracy, and those who are capable can become officers of the Wanping Army, and can easily become a centurion.
After that, his life in Yuncheng was completely different. The wealthy men in Yuncheng who used to have their chins raised to the sky no longer dared to boss him around. Instead, they took the initiative to flatter him by sticking their cheeks.
This made him even more grateful that he made the right decision to join the Wanping Army.
The enthusiasm and motivation for work have also increased a lot. Early that morning, he led his team of 100 people to go out and patrol in all directions according to the regulations of Commander Qu.
Patrols pay attention to mobility, and there are not many horses in Yuncheng. Normally, there are so many sergeants who do not have the opportunity to ride all the horses.
It was only when patrolling that I had the opportunity to ride a horse and gallop in the wilderness with abandon.
"Centurion, our daily patrol seems to be completely meaningless. Who dares to mess with our ten thousand soldiers now?" The soldiers under his command have gained weight. They feel very uncomfortable being domineering in Yuncheng these days.
Wu Nanpu also felt that such patrols seemed too frequent. How could there be so many enemies?
The dog officers and soldiers are still trapped in Lushan. How can we take action to touch them?
However, he was always cautious. When his subordinates questioned him, he scolded him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense. This is Commander Hu's military order. We just need to obey it seriously."
"Hu Shuai suffered a big loss in Jiangzhou, which is why he is always in trouble now."
"According to me, he just lacks some enterprising spirit. We are an army of tens of thousands, what can't we do? What's the point of locking yourself in the city all day?"
The people below all sneered, and their words were quite disrespectful to Hu Shuai, who had suffered repeated defeats.
Wu Nanpu frowned, these soldiers were getting more and more arrogant.
"Let's go, withdraw our troops and go back!"
Wu Nanpu raised his hands and prepared to lead his army back.
Suddenly, his eyes froze and his body froze on the spot.
"What's wrong?"
The soldiers below had already turned their horses' heads, only to see that the centurion was still where he was.
Wu Nanpu's face was very solemn and he pointed forward.
Everyone followed his hand and saw a group of people faintly appearing on the horizon in the distance. They didn't know when.
The swords and guns are distinct, and the military appearance is neat.
A huge flag flutters in the wind.
The word "Cao" in the letter is ferocious and ferocious.
