Chapter 928: Liu Bei's Highlight Moment
Liu Zheng appeased Himiko with two words.
Then continue to let his army and begin to seize Yan Baihu's territory.
Liu Zheng actually had the strength to attack Fukuoka City at this time.
After all, in Liu Zheng's view, Gou Guzhi's 30,000 horses are just a group of rabble.
If Liu Zheng ordered the soldiers and horses of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinzulang and others to charge and attack Fukuoka Castle, there must still be a great chance to capture Fukuoka Castle.
It's just that in Fukuoka City, after all, there are more than 30,000 enemy troops, and even if Liu Zheng can defeat them, the loss of soldiers and horses is definitely not a few.
Now Liu Zheng is on Kyushu Island, but there are more than 30,000 people, and one dead or injured will make Liu Zheng feel distressed.
These are the soldiers he recruited with great difficulty, and Liu Zheng is still counting on bringing them all back to Dahan.
I don't want them all to die in this foreign land.
And if Liu Zheng recuperates for the time being, he only needs to return to Kashima, and then occupy the remnants of Yan Baihu's territory, absorb Yan Baihu's remnants, and even continue to recruit some slave troops on Kyushu Island.
In this way, Liu Zheng can also have a group of cannon fodder soldiers and horses here, and use the local cannon fodder to fight the local natives.
This is the right way to invade other countries.
As everyone knows, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, was able to defeat the Ming Dynasty with a population of tens of millions.
relied not on their tens of thousands of cavalry, but on the Ming rebels under them.
Liu Zheng's idea is this, after he has incorporated Kumamoto copies and some slave troops on Kashima's side, he can recruit at least 20,000 horses.
Coupled with Liu Zheng's current men, it is not a problem to form about 50,000 people.
In this way, arguing with Fukuoka City and Gou Guzhi's people again is the way to meet Liu Zheng's expectations.
In this way, the next Liu Zheng was preparing to annex Yan Baihu's territory and recruit new soldiers and horses.
Fast forward to November.
And when Liu Zheng was in full swing on Kyushu Island, attacking the city and plundering the village, on the other side of the sea, on the land of China, some things were also happening here.
Liu Zheng left the land of China for more than two months.
In the past two months or so, the situation in the north has not changed much.
Although he has the help of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, Yuan Shang is not enough in his own background, and he still has some incompetence if he wants to confront his second brother Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi, although it seems that people and animals are harmless, but his subordinates have Tian Feng as a strategist, and he has attracted the Karasuma people and horses in the north, and the troops were once strong, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses can only help Yuan Shang recapture Jizhou, but it is indeed a little difficult to continue to advance and fight to Youzhou.
After all, Xu Huang, Tai Shici and others were unwilling to let their troops die completely in the north.
In addition, in the winter of November, the north has already entered winter, and the weather is cold, and the soldiers under Xu Huang and Tai Shici are people who have lived in the south for many years, where can they stand this.
The march and the battle in the great winter were not easy for their men.
Therefore, the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Zheng in the past were not able to help Yuan Shang lay more territory.
The situation in the north has settled for the time being.
Yuan Xi himself is also because he doesn't have enough troops, even if he wants to capture Youzhou. But without the help of the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Zheng's men, there was nothing that could be done.
Although there are no new changes in the north.
However, Liu Bei, the newly appointed general, has carried out drastic reforms in the past two months. Re-enthroned for the stormy Han Dynasty. Another few more years.
The Xiliang rebels, under the leadership of Han Sui, had already killed the land of Sanfu.
Even General Lu Zhi died of illness because he went to quell the rebellion, and without Lu Zhi's Xiliang, those rebels became even more intense.
After the entire Xiliang fell into the hands of the rebels, and no one could restrain these rebels, the people in the court invited Liu Bei to serve as the new general and go to Luoyang to preside over the overall situation.
Liu Bei, who is a disciple of Lu Zhi, naturally took over the responsibility of his teacher, and the matter of Liu Zheng in the south will be put aside for the time being, and he will do his best to solve these rebels.
Liu Bei led his 20,000 elites, replacing part of Lu Zhi's remnant army, in Chang'an City, with 40,000 soldiers and horses, guarding Chang'an, Han Sui led the soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses outside Chang'an City, a round of fierce confrontation.
However, Liu Bei personally sat in Chang'an, plus his second brother Guan Yu.
With another 40,000 troops in town, it is naturally impossible to defeat Liu Bei in Chang'an City.
But Han Sui, this guy, has been operating in Xiliang for many years, and has united some Qiang people, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Although he failed to defeat Chang'an City, it also made his arrogance even more arrogant.
The soldiers and horses gradually began to spread to the state, and a Xiliang was defeated, and he was not enough to seize a larger territory. Divide the territory of the Han Dynasty.
There was no way, in order to find a way to deal with Han Sui, Liu Bei knew that it was difficult to defeat Han Sui by relying on external forces.
Because the current Liu Bei and even the current Han Dynasty do not have such ability.
It is impossible to gather nearly 100,000 troops again to fight Han Sui in a short period of time.
So Liu Bei thought of it, since he couldn't disintegrate Han Sui from the outside, he would conquer Han Sui from the inside.
He first found some local people in Xiliang to figure out why Han Sui's wave of rebels had repeatedly betrayed the Han Dynasty.
After learning some things about Han Sui, Liu Bei thought of an excellent solution.
In fact, Han Sui and others did not intend to rebel against the Han at first.
The reason why they did these things was completely forced by those Qiang people at the beginning.
The Qiang wanted to break away from the Han and launched an uprising and rebellion.
It's just that they are unknown. So I found a few officials from Xiliang at that time.
And Han Sui is one of them. At first, Han Sui was only coerced to join the rebel army, but later as the scale of the uprising became bigger and bigger. Han Sui gradually replaced Bian Zhang and became the strongest Xiliang warlord now.
Of course, Han Sui was not the actual ruler of these warlords.
These horses under Han Sui's command were formed by many different warlords.
Han Sui was just the commander elected among these people.
There are also more than ten people such as Ma Teng, Yang Qiu, and Liang Xing.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, although on the surface they are single-minded and unanimous to the outside, but there have long been cracks inside.
For example, the two most powerful people in this, Han Sui and Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was actually reluctant to rebel against the Han.
He can be said to be the most loyal person to the Han among all people.
Ma Teng was originally the general of the Han Dynasty, and after Ma Yuan, he had a deep affection for the Han Dynasty.
