Looking at Yuan Shu's frown, Yan Liang was also a little confused. To be honest, he couldn't figure out what would happen now that he wanted to send to Yuan Shu.
"The barbarians in Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang counties launched a rebellion at the same time. Now they are likely to go to Wuling County to fight against Samoko."
Yuan Shu directly read out the contents of Tian Feng's telegram.
"How dare the barbarians rebel?
They are looking for death. I am willing to lead the Polu army back to Jingzhou immediately, and I will definitely annihilate these barbarians."
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Liang became angry immediately. Yizhou has not been pacified yet. The southern barbarians of Yizhou do not know the strength of the Jizhou army and dare to send troops to rebel. Don't you Jingzhou barbarians still know your own strength and dare to rebel now? I really don't want to
Alive.
"No need, Zhang He has gathered his troops now, Zhang Liao's bandit army has also rushed from Jiangxia to Jiangling, and Yuan Hao has also rushed from Bingzhou to Jingzhou."
Yuan Shu shook his head. Yan Liang wanted to lead his troops to Jingzhou, but he couldn't catch up with the battle.
"Then what did Mr. Yuan Hao mean by sending the telegram?"
Yan Liang was also stunned when he heard that Jingzhou had made arrangements. He thought Tian Feng's telegram was to dispatch reinforcements from Yizhou.
"Yuan Hao means to ask about his attitude towards these barbarians and how to deal with them. He also hopes that Zilong can lead his Ying Yang army back eastward to reinforce Jingzhou's strength."
Yuan Shu glanced at Yan Liang. Now that Jia Xu was not here, he had no one to discuss with.
"My lord, as the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have a different heart. The Jingzhou barbarians do not want to be grateful, but instead raise an army to cause chaos. In my opinion, they can all be killed. This will eliminate the source of cholera."
Yan Liang clenched his fists at Yuan Shu. He had no good impression of these foreign races from the bottom of his heart.
Whether it is the Xianbei, Xiongnu or Wuhuan tribes in the north, or the Qiang and Di tribes in the west, the Jizhou Army has been fighting these foreign tribes since it formed an army. In his opinion, these people should be killed and left alone.
Disaster.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. I was too kind to those barbarians in the past, but I made them see me clearly and see the Han people clearly."
After listening to Yan Liang's words, Yuan Shu also nodded. He was very aggressive in killing the foreigners in the north, but he was not too harsh on the barbarians in the south. This also led to them daring to rebel, which was really asking for death.
"Yan Liang, call Yuan Hao immediately. The southern barbarians in Jingzhou will not be tolerated and will be severely punished. Also send a telegram to Chen Gong. The mountain road in Yizhou is dangerous and the cavalry is of little use. Ask him to return east along the river immediately and go to Jiangling to meet Zhang He. This time I
We need to show the barbarians in the south how ferocious our Jizhou army is."
"promise."
Yan Liang clasped his fists and immediately went to send a telegram.
"Commander, telegram from my lord."
Zhao Yun came directly to Chen Gong with the telegram he had just received.
After Chen Gong read the telegram, he frowned tightly.
"Military advisor, what's the matter?"
Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown. Now everything is going well. Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, has surrendered. The channel for their advancement has been opened. It is only a matter of time before they can take Chengdu step by step.
"The barbarians in Jingzhou launched a rebellion. Wuling County, Lingling County and Guiyang County sent troops at the same time. Now they are heading towards Wuling County. There is a strong tendency to turn around. Now Yuan Hao has gone south from Bingzhou to Jingzhou. The Lord wants you to lead the army to the east.
Return to support the Jingzhou battlefield."
Chen Gong directly told the contents of Yuan Shu's telegram.
"Jingzhou barbarians launched a rebellion?
My lord wants me to lead the eagle and raise the army back eastward?"
Hearing Chen Gong's words, Zhao Yun was stunned. He never expected that the Jingzhou barbarians would dare to launch a rebellion. Would these people want their lives?
"Well, I suspect that the Southern Barbarians of Jingzhou are related to the Southern Barbarians of Yizhou, so they dare to take such a big risk to launch a rebellion. Anyway, the roads in Yizhou are difficult, and the Yingyang Army cannot exert its maximum strength here, then
Just go back east and wipe out the barbarians in Jingzhou."
Chen Gong thought for a while and directly guessed the reason why the Jingzhou barbarians raised their troops. At the same time, he had no objection to sending the Yingyang Army back east. After all, this is not the main battlefield for the Yingyang Army. Let them go to Yizhou.
Place.
"Zhao Yun takes the order."
After hearing Chen Gong's analysis, Zhao Yun had no doubts. He was 100% supportive of Yuan Shu's arrangements. Whether it was going up the mountain of swords or going down into the sea of fire, it was his duty to do so.
"Okay, then I will immediately arrange a boat to take you back east."
"promise."
Soon, Zhao Yun's Yingyang Army, escorted by several fighting ships, began to move down the river towards Jiangling.
After a period of running around with the Wuxi barbarian army, Shamoko led the troops directly to Qianling. However, facing two thousand county soldiers and five thousand strong defensive walls, they still failed to break through the city despite several fierce attacks and loss of troops.
In desperation, they could only temporarily camp and wait for the barbarians from Lingling and Guiyang to join forces.
While they were waiting, the militia groups from Xiangyang and Nanjun also arrived, and Tian Feng also rushed to Jiangling for days.
"military adviser."
When Tian Feng arrived, Zhang He and Zhang Liao immediately came to greet him with a group of captains.
"Okay, don't be wordy, we'll talk about it after we get to the city."
Tian Feng waved to everyone and led them directly into the city.
"Tell me, how are our troops and horses prepared now, and what is the situation of those barbarians."
After everyone sat down, Tian Feng directly asked about the current situation.
"Military advisor, all the 50,000 loyal troops have been prepared. Wenyuan's 20,000 bandit troops and the 50,000 militiamen from Xiangyang, Nanyang have all been in place. As for the barbarians, the Samoko troops are now encircling and moving to Lingling and Lingling.
The barbarians from Guiyang have also arrived at Wuling County and are heading towards Qianling."
As the host, Zhang He directly reported the current situation.
"How do you want to fight?"
After hearing what Zhang He said, Tian Feng directly asked him what he thought.
"What I mean is that the army will march south to Youyang, use the Qianling Mausoleum as bait, wait for the Southern Barbarians to gather together, and then send out troops to annihilate them all in one fell swoop."
Zhang He's strategy is very simple, which is to gather together and destroy them without giving the enemy a chance to escape.
"Military advisor, I have a different idea."
Hearing Zhang He's intention to gather and annihilate them, Zhang Liao frowned slightly. He had a different idea.
"Wenyuan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
After looking at Zhang Liao, Tian Feng asked him directly what he thought.
"What I mean is that the troops will be divided into two groups. One group will be led by Zhang He's Jianzhong Army and the 50,000 militiamen as the main force, heading towards Youyang. The other group will be led by me to lead the bandit army southward, looking for opportunities to annihilate the barbarian armies in Lingling and Guiyang.
"
Zhang Liao directly expressed his thoughts. Going to Youyang now is actually a waste of the combat power of the bandit army. The cavalry should look for opportunities in mobile warfare. If they really attack the fortress, it will be a waste, and once the barbarian soldiers and horses
In the next round, their strength will skyrocket, and even if a decisive battle is launched, the losses will be huge in the end.
"Are you afraid that after the barbarian soldiers turn, they will have too many troops and it will be difficult to fight?"
After hearing Zhang Liao's plan, Tian Feng immediately understood what he meant.
"Well, that's true. Although the barbarians are a little behind, if they really let their troops and horses turn around, they will definitely increase their power. Rather than being like this, it's better to attack them separately."
Zhang Liao nodded. Tian Feng was indeed a wise man. He immediately understood his intention when he said this.
"What do you think?"
Tian Feng glanced at Zhang Liao and then at Zhang He beside him.
"I think what Wen Yuan said makes sense. It would be a waste for the Dang bandit army to go to Youyang. What I'm afraid of now is that if the Dang bandit army kills the barbarians in Lingling and Guiyang, it will alert them. Once Shamoko arrives to threaten, He will flee with his troops,
At that time, it will be difficult to annihilate these barbarians in one fell swoop. If we really want to annihilate them in Jingzhou, it may be a protracted battle."
How could Zhang He not know how to use Zhang Liao's cavalry, but what he was afraid of was that the southern barbarians would flee directly, and it would be difficult to capture them by then.
"Well, what Jun Yi said is true. If we go out now, we will definitely alert the enemy. If Samoko really leads people to escape, it will be difficult to capture them then."
Tian Feng also meant not to alert the enemy, but he couldn't directly argue with Zhang Liao, so he could only express his thoughts through Zhang He's mouth.
"It was Zhang Liao who was abrupt."
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Zhang Liao frowned. What they said was indeed true. Although he could lead the bandit army to snipe other barbarians, there was no guarantee that no news would leak out. Once Samoko knew about it, If you get the news, it will be over by then.
"It's not too abrupt. Now my lord has sent Zilong to lead the Yingyang Army back from Yizhou along the waterway to support the war in Jingzhou. In this way, Wen Yuan."
