When Huo Yi was appointed by Ma Zhong as a separate governor and led more than 10,000 people to Yulin County via Zoke River, he decided on a strategy to break the situation through the news that Shen Youlu came one after another.
The plan is to take the lead in attacking Gaoliang's western captain Qian Bo.
There are two reasons.
Needless to say, the first one is that he had done something retrograde and rebellious in Lingfang County, which caused complaints among the soldiers and common people.
On the other hand, Liu Zuan and Nie You both guarded both ends of the river valley. They were the first line of defense against the Han army. The defense was necessarily tight and it was difficult to find an opening for a sudden attack.
But Lingfang County, located between Yushui and Zangganshui, is different.
If the Han army wanted to attack, they would have to cross the hills and plains to reach it, and it would be impossible to hide their tracks during the march.
In other words, Qian Bo did not need to worry about being raided by the Han army.
The initial plan of the Han army was to let Shen You unite with some powerful rightists who were dissatisfied with Qian Bo, and let him cover more than a hundred Han troops to enter the city in disguise, and seize the city by cooperating inside and outside when Huo Yi arrived with his army.
Such a plan is risky.
If anything goes wrong, General Jiangdong will take advantage of it and lure the Han army into an ambush by pretending to surrender.
But at that time, neither Huo Yi nor Shi Bao and others had any better way.
The journey from the Zoke River Valley is too long, so we must fight quickly and seize a city for the soldiers to rest and recuperate and to use it as a stronghold for protracted operations. Otherwise, in the east of the Yangtze River, waiting for work, it will be difficult to transport food and feed and the veterans of the division will be tired. The Han army will be forced to stop and return.
Not to mention that miasma is rampant in inaccessible places, and the Han army cannot stay in the wild all the time.
But who could have predicted that before Shen You could find a powerful right-hand man who could serve as an internal support, Qian Bo would return to his old ways! He actually bullied the barbarian tribes who were dissatisfied with Wang Hua and sent a better battle plan to the Han army!
Yes, better plan.
Huo Yi found the villages of two barbarian tribes in the northwest of Lingfang County (today's Shanglin County) where food and supplies had not yet been forcibly confiscated, and allowed them to move away in exchange for military rations and equipment. Then, with Shen The Jiaozhou righteous soldiers under You entered the village and disguised themselves as barbarians, while he still led the army and hid outside, waiting for Qian Bo to send people to seize grain and supplies.
Half a month later, Qian Bo's food collection team of more than 100 people arrived belatedly.
Shen You asked the soldiers who knew the local dialect to go out to greet them, and imitated the unruly and courageous barbarian tribes who refused to accept the king, dealt with them, and bargained with them. After dispelling their suspicions, they "reluctantly" accepted the fact that people were killed by swords, and let those The next day, people came to the village with vehicles to collect grain and supplies.
But when those hundreds of people came back the next day, Shen You led his soldiers into a violent attack and killed them in front of the stronghold.
He also cut off the noses and ears of two or three captured people and released them to deliver messages.
They claim that the people of Xiou are born in heaven. In the past during the Qin and Han Dynasties, they did not know the princes of the emperor, and now they do not recognize the Wu Kingdom or the western commander of Gaoliang!
Don't even think about getting a grain or an inch of supplies from their village!
Even if Qian Boti's soldiers come to fight and break their stronghold, they will burn everything with fire!
It was foreseeable that Qian Bo was furious when the news came out.
The next day, he personally led more than a thousand of his subordinates, as well as hundreds of private soldiers who had joined forces, to attack the village where Shen You was.
No matter who persuades me, my mind remains unchanged.
In other words, he was a bandit and was humiliated by a barbarian tribe. If he could not regain his face and break the barbarian tribe's stronghold, he would not be able to secure the position of captain of the western region in the future.
His ending is also foreseeable.
When he arrived with a mighty army and just started to attack the village, Huo Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, led his army to encircle and attack from three sides. It only took less than two quarters of an hour for the battle to be settled.
When the powerful private soldiers who had been coerced by Qian Bo saw the Han army encircling them, which was almost ten times their size, they immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Qian Bo was stubborn and fought to the last moment.
Perhaps he himself knew that the Han army would not accept his surrender.
After all, if the Han army that entered Yulin County wanted to gain a foothold, they had to trust the local common people and barbarian tribes. To show his head to the public for confiscating food and property is the greatest sincerity...
With his death, and the surrender of the right-wing private soldiers, the refugees in the leading county had no resistance.
After entering the city, Huo Yi, who had been stationed in Yongchang County for a long time. He was familiar with how the prime minister appeased the barbarian tribes in the past. He sent people to invite the powerful people and barbarian leaders from inside and outside the county. He held Qian Bo's head in one hand and checked them one by one.
All the forcibly requisitioned grain and supplies were returned in full, and the Han government's decree in Nanzhong was also announced. New
Naturally, this move won the praise of the common people and barbarians in Lingfang County.
Seeing that the people's support could be used, Shi Bao gave Huo Yi advice and asked him to imitate the three chapters of the agreement made by Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty when he entered Guanzhong and quickly stabilize the county.
Huo Yi hesitated about this.
It's not that I think it's taboo to do this, but I think it's unnecessary.
Tens of thousands of troops have entered the city, and they are determined to eliminate violence and return the original objects. The common people and barbarians who have suffered from the Wu army's harsh rule are already convinced and will definitely not help the Wu army to attack them again. Why bother?
But soon, with some whispers from Shi Bao, he followed the good example.
Shi Bao felt that the Han army at this time should not stay in Lingfang County to guard and continue to implement Ma Zhong's previous deployment and defeat Lu Dai's tribe with virtual and real methods.
Because the war went so smoothly!
You can definitely achieve greater results!
For example, before the Wu army in Bushan and Zengshi counties got the news and had no time to deploy, the Han army only needed to leave three or four thousand soldiers to attract attention, so as to achieve the strategic goal of building momentum for Ma Zhong.
.The remaining soldiers and horses can continue to go south, along the Yushui River Valley from the east to Nanhai County, and with the Wu Dang tribe of the Han Dynasty's relics who have been dormant, they will join forces inside and outside to occupy Nanhai County.
This would also allow some powerful rightists and barbarian tribes who did not surrender to Jiangdong to see hope. They felt that the change of vassal status in Jiaozhou was imminent and took the opportunity to stand on their own or seek attachment from the Han army. As a result, Jiangdong's situation in Jiaozhou fell into decay within a month or so of the war.
It can even induce turmoil in the counties and counties in southern Jingnan.
After all, Nanhai County borders Jingnan.
Moreover, Liao Shi's rebellion had not been over for long.
This way you don't need to worry about the danger of getting lost or being ambushed halfway because the journey to Nanhai County is too far.
Shen You had previously presented a map of Jiaozhou and Jingnan, which could completely allow the Han army to avoid obstruction and reach Nanhai County smoothly with Wu Dang's support.
The only worries are supplies and miasma.
But Huo Yi didn't consider these two points.
You don't need too much food, as long as you can hold on until you enter Nanhai County.
In this way, let Qian Bo's Gaoliang prisoners carry part of the grain, and the soldiers can carry another part.
And miasma...
When entering Jiaozhou for conquest, will you still worry about miasma?
Just settle down with your destiny!_&
