Looking at the monsters and monsters in front of him, a gleam flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes. These Nanman people are indeed people with outstanding physiques. If they can be used for themselves, they will definitely be an elite soldier with a little training, but it is a pity.
"Your name is Cheng Yu, right? Have you prepared all the food and grass?"
Meng Huo glanced at the tall Cheng Yu and couldn't help but nodded.
In the eyes of the Nanman people, your height and strength are worthy of being valued. It is difficult for those who are thin and weak to adapt to the harsh living environment in the four counties of Yinan. However, Cheng Yu is much more pleasing to the eye than Dong Fu.
"King Nan, the food and grass have been prepared, and the towns along the way will supply food and grass for the army. Now all you have to do is seize the time to go north to Guanghan County, where we are preparing to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shu's army."
Cheng Yu was also stunned when he heard that Meng Huo didn't ask about his identity at all, but then he thought about it, these barbarians may be simple-minded. As long as they provide food and grass, it doesn't matter whether it's Liu Yan or whoever they are.
"Well, that's good. In that case, you can go north with the army to Guanghan County."
After looking at Cheng Yu and knowing that he had already arranged the food and grass, Meng Huo nodded. All he wanted to do now was to quickly defeat Yuan Shu and capture Yizhou.
"King Nan, I hope that by going north this time, I can restrain the tribes and not plunder places. Otherwise, the prestige of Lord Zhou Mu will be damaged."
Since Meng Huo didn't ask, Cheng Yu didn't bother to explain anything, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
"Haha, does Liu Yan still have prestige?"
King Mulu on the side looked at Cheng Yu and sneered.
"You still have to leave. If you are really plundering all directions, then the food and grass prepared by the surrounding counties may not be handed over to you smoothly."
Hearing King Mulu's words, Cheng Yu frowned slightly.
"Okay, I will restrain the soldiers and horses."
After looking at Cheng Yu, Meng Huo also frowned, and then directly suppressed the people around him, indicating that he would restrain the troops.
"Okay, let's speed up and head north now."
Hearing Meng Huo's answer, Cheng Yu nodded.
"Let's go, tell the whole army to speed up and go north."
"good."
Under the leadership of Cheng Yu, the 150,000-strong army marched directly north towards Guanghan County.
When the Southern Barbarian Army went north, Liu Bei rushed directly to Mianyang with 20,000 troops and joined forces with Guan Yu there. In this way, Liu Bei's troops in Guanghan County reached 90,000, and he could not face Yuan Shu's army of more than 200,000.
It can be considered as having the strength to fight.
"Yun Chang, what do you think of this battle?"
Liu Bei and Guan Yu gathered together, and Liu Bei suddenly asked Guan Yu this question.
"Brother, if we join forces with the Southern Barbarians, we will have 240,000 soldiers and horses. Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses on the opposite side are only that many, and the elite soldiers among them are only 100,000 at most. It is not difficult to defeat him, but defeating Yuan Shu
After that, do you have any ideas on how the Nanman people should deal with Big Brother?"
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei. The Southern Barbarians had strong soldiers and horses, but Yuan Shu on the opposite side could not all be elites. It was not difficult to defeat him. The difficulty was how the Southern Barbarians should respond after capturing Yuan Shu. This was what he was concerned about.
"Then we can only take one step at a time, so this battle must focus on the Nanman soldiers, and do our best to make the Nanman people and Yuan Shu fight against each other, so that we can have the capital to suppress possible situations that may arise below."
Guan Yu's problem is actually also troubled by Liu Bei. They have now guessed that the Nanman people have bad intentions, but now all they can do is take one step at a time.
"Hey, it's difficult. The Nanman people are not fools. If we really want to use them as the main force to fight Yuan Shu, will they agree?"
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei. What his elder brother said was simply not realistic. He was a barbarian but not a fool. How could he not see such an obvious strategy of sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers?
"Then it will depend on Zhongde. He will definitely have a way to fulfill our wishes."
Liu Bei can only place his hopes on Cheng Yu now. It has always been his purpose to leave professional matters to professionals.
"hope so."
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu could only nod his head, and could only place his trust in Cheng Yu.
Taishi Ci and Yan Xing led the suppressing troops and went directly to Langzhong City. Looking at the tall city wall, the two of them also looked at each other.
Fortunately, there is no need to attack the city, otherwise there will definitely be many casualties by then.
"Sir, Xun You's cavalry is here."
Soon the news of the arrival of the Suppression Army reached Qiao Zhou's ears.
"Open the city gate immediately and follow me to greet you."
When he heard that Xun You's cavalry had arrived at Qiao Zhou, he didn't care about anything else and led his men directly out of the city to greet them.
"Qiaozhou, the governor of Brazil County, led the ministers of Brazil County to greet the general."
Qiao Zhou glanced at Tai Shi Ci and Yan Xing who were on horseback, and his eyes couldn't help but shine. These two generals could compete with each other as good warriors at a glance, and this was just the tip of the iceberg under Yuan Shu's command. They were just ordinary. There were such
In terms of strength, surrendering to Yuan Shu would be considered a success.
"Prefect Qiao, you don't have to be like this, we are all our own people, right?"
When Taishi Ci saw Qiao Zhou, he dismounted and came to his side.
"Well, Langzhou, please hand over the military register to the general immediately."
Qiao Zhou was still very knowledgeable. Now that Taishi Ci led his cavalry, it must be to capture Langzhong and prevent him from going back on his word, so he immediately ordered the county lieutenants around him to collect the military registers that had been prepared and hand them to Taishi Ci.
"General, this is the military register of Brazil County."
The commander-in-chief Zhou Cheng stepped forward and handed the military register to Tai Shici with both hands.
"Yan Ming, take it."
After looking at the military book in Zhou Cheng's hand, Taishi Ci nodded and directly motioned to Yan Xing to accept it.
"promise."
Although Yan Xing was the official general of the Suppression Army, Taishi Ci was the general of the guard beside Yuan Shu and could be regarded as the emperor's imperial envoy, so Taishi Ci was still the main one.
"Okay, generals, let's go into the city. I've prepared a banquet to welcome you."
Seeing Yan Xing taking over the military register, Qiao Zhou also nodded and directly invited Tai Shici to enter the city.
"Okay, let's go into the city."
Taishi Ci nodded and led the suppressing army directly into the city.
After entering the city, Taishi Ci and Qiao Zhou went to the prefect's mansion, while Yan Xing led the suppressing troops to the military camp, gathered the soldiers and horses in the city, and completely took Langzhong into his own hands.
If Langzhong is captured, Brazil County is basically finished. Next, it is time to send troops to Yanting to encircle Chengdu with Yuan Shu.
Three days later, Xun You's army also arrived in Langzhong. Next, it was time to prepare for the situation in Dongguanghan County. At the same time, a telegram was also sent to Yuan Shu.
"Lord, Gongda telegram."
Jia Xu came directly to Yuan Shu with Xun You's telegram.
"Gongda telegram?"
Yuan Shu directly received Jia Xu's telegram and began to study it carefully.
"Lord, has Qiaozhou surrendered? Gongda's troops have arrived in Langzhong."
Seeing that Yuan Shu had finished reading the telegram, Jia Xu asked directly.
"Well, as you said, Qiao Zhou surrendered. All Gongda's troops have been stationed in Langzhong, and they are preparing to attack Dongguanghan County next."
Yuan Shu nodded directly to Jia Xu, his guess was accurate.
"Lord, I feel that the key now is not in Dongguanghan County. With Liu Bei's current situation, he will definitely unite with the Southern Barbarians to attack one group, and then attack the other group after defeating one group.
And he will definitely choose us as a breakthrough point. After all, we are the main force. If he defeats us first, everything will be easier."
Jia Xu glanced at Yuan Shu. He thought that Liu Bei would challenge him for a decisive battle next, and the location of the decisive battle would definitely be in Guanghan County, not Dongguanghan County where Xun You was located.
After all, Xun You was just a partial force. If he lost his troops and generals, he would be unable to fight the main force in a decisive battle. On the contrary, as long as he could defeat himself, then Xun You would have nothing to fear.
"Well, I also thought Liu Bei would come to us for a decisive battle."
