The entire Wuxi Barbarian Clan is actually scattered, and Shamoko is only the most powerful existence among them. He had a population of 200,000 and about 20,000 soldiers and horses.

If you dig hard, you can get 40,000 or 50,000 people.

Because life in the mountains is hard, there are few old people, and there are many young and strong. But if you do that, there will definitely be big problems. At present, the 20,000 troops under the command of Shamoko are being treated separately.

Among them, the strong and elite were personally trained by Ma Liang and Xiao Shun, and the other 10,000 were also trained. One can be the elite in the front, and the other can be the auxiliary in the back.

When Shamoke came, Ma Liang was training. A few months have passed, and these more than 10,000 elites have become extraordinary. With the full support of Shamoke, these more than 10,000 elites were raised with a fat body and a red face.

Not only have leather armor, weapons, bows and arrows and other weapons improved, but there are also hundreds of sets of iron armor, barely forming an army of ironclad soldiers.

It's late autumn at the moment, and although the sun is fierce, it's still bearable. Ma Liang stood on the platform, including Xiao Shun, all the soldiers were practicing, and the sound of roaring was endless.

The soldiers sweated like rain.

Ma Liang touched his beard, which was already quite large, and showed a satisfied look, of course, this soldier is not as good as the elite of the Guan family, Chen Dao, Guan Yu's elite soldiers, and it is not as good as the elite soldiers of Jiangdong, but it is stronger than the county soldiers of Wuling County.

This soldier is not many, but fine. If it is not enough, it is more than enough.

Anyway, his goal is to take Wuling.

At this moment, a retinue of Ma Liang walked up and said to Ma Liang: "Lord Changshi, King Xiao has arrived. ”

"Please King Xiao into the big tent to rest, I'll be there later." Ma Liang said.

"No." The attendant went down with a promise. And Ma Liang explained a few words to Xiao Shun, and then he also climbed over the horse and rode his horse to the big tent.

And when he had entered the great tent, he saw Shamoko sitting in a guest seat. Ma Liang met with him, and then sat down on the throne without any concessions.

Now that Shamoke has been attached, he is a general under the command of the Guan clan. And Ma Liang is the long history of Guan Ping, always in charge of the affairs of soldiers and horses, and it is not false to sit in the main position.

"King Xiao, but something?" After sitting down, Ma Liang asked.

"The situation is not good, I have come here to ask for advice." Shamoke arched his hand, and roughly told Ma Liang the information he received, and then frowned: "What should I do in the current situation?" ”

Ma Liang also frowned slightly when he heard this, but he was generally quite calm. said: "The army will be mobilized at the end of September. ”

"In such a situation, do you still want to use troops? If Shanyue is not opposed, how can we deal with Sun Quan's more than 100,000 soldiers and horses? Why the end of September? Can't wait a little longer? I'll wait until the army is more elite. Shamoko was a little surprised.

"The land north of the river is a land of anointing. If you don't take it at this moment, it will no longer be owned by the Guan family. In a few years, we in Jingnan will also be wiped out for Sun Quan. It is ready to be sent. This year's Koto harvest is a bumper harvest, and it stands to reason that Shanyue will not move. But what if Shanyue knew that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were all in Jingzhou, and the rear was empty? With a population of nearly 2 million, there are always greedy people, right? Jiangdong has a bumper harvest this year, greedy for Shanyue, if you get the news, you will definitely go down the mountain to plunder. We will immediately send people to Jiangdong to spread the news. ”

"As for why we did it at the end of September??? There is no other, but because after the grain is cut. The grain in the three counties of Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling had just been harvested, but it was not handed over to the mouth of the Youjiang River. We have taken three counties, and the grain is ours. If the grain is handed over to the mouth of the oil river, the grain will be Sun Quan's. ”

Ma Liang replied.

Speaking of this, Ma Liang patted his knees, stood up and said, "King Xiao, order the leaders of the various tribes of the Wuxi clan to cut off the mountain road, so that all parties cannot communicate with each other. If the Wu army comes to fight, it cannot be blocked, and the main thing is to attack and harass. The headquarters of 20,000 soldiers and horses are ready, with elite soldiers in front and miscellaneous soldiers in the rear. At the end of September, the army sent to Wuling. ”

"No." Shamoke is now also following the Guan family all the way to the dark, and Ma Liang is so calm, which also increases Shamoke's confidence, which makes him sweep away his anxiety and agree to the promise.

And with this layout, Shamoke's manpower envoys went to the leaders of the Wuxi barbarians, because of Shamoke's position in the Wuxi barbarians, the barbarians all responded and cut off the road, making it extremely difficult to transmit information between Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling.

At least the road doesn't work.

At the end of September, Ma Liang ordered troops in Shacheng, with Shamoke sitting in Shacheng, with Shamoke's eldest son Xiao Shun as the general, with 10,000 elite soldiers in front, and 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers escorting grain and grass behind, and the army was sent to Linyuan County, the administrative office of Wuling County.

The location of Shacheng is at the junction of Wuling and Lingling, and the straight-line distance from Linyuan County may only be two or three hundred miles. But the mountain road was winding, and it took three days for the army to reach the city.

Before the army came to the city, Maleonn laid out.

Under the banner of the word "Xiao", Ma Liang, Xiao Shun, and Zhang Miao rode their horses, surrounded by elite soldiers.

During this time, the weather is all sunny. The Linyuan area is also a small plain, with large roads and smooth roads. Ma Liang Lema walked on the road, flat and steady. Ma Liang said to Xiao Shun: "When you get to the city, the general will lead the elite soldiers to challenge the city." Jin Xuan is cowardly and has few soldiers, so he will not dare to fight. If Jin Xuan does not fight, the city will be terrified. I will go to the city tomorrow and persuade Jin Xuan to surrender. ”

"No." Xiao Shun pinched the horsewhip and promised.

"Mr. Zhang, let's lead the miscellaneous soldiers together and build a camp." Ma Liang turned his head and said to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao had a different opinion, he shook his head and said, "Ma Changshi." The long history is called joining the army, but in fact he is the commander. Then Jin Xuan's cowardice is not bad, but what if? In case you take a long history. When I am away with General Xiao, I will be at a loss. If you can't take Wuling, everything will be over. Long history is not easy to take risks. I'll invite you into the city to see Jin Xuan. ”

Xiao Shun also nodded when he heard this, and said: "What Mr. Zhang said is very true, Ma Changshi is indispensable in the army. ”

said that these two Zhang Miao were ordinary scholars, just Ma Liang's entourage's deputy. Although Xiao Shun led 20,000 troops, he seemed to be a general, but in fact, he was just a little brave, and in terms of ability, I am afraid that he may not be able to compare with Zhao Tong and Mi Wei.

If something goes wrong with Ma Liang, it's really over.

Ma Liang was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After making a plan, Xiao Shun ordered the army to speed up. Soon after, the city of Linyuan was in sight. Among the four counties in Jingnan, the strategic location of Wuling County is not important, and although the Wuxi barbarians often attack and harass, it is not a problem.

Regardless of Liu Biao, Jin Xuan didn't care about the construction of the city. As a result, the city is low, and there is no moat.

There was a "gold" flag hanging on the city, the city gate was closed, and many soldiers stood on the city wall, and the soldiers were also a little panicked, and they knew at a glance that they were not good soldiers.

At that time, when Han Dang's soldiers were approaching the city, Jin Xuan surrendered without a fight. If Sun Quan hadn't confronted Guan Yu, I'm afraid he would have cleaned up Wuling County a long time ago.

After the soldiers approached the city, Xiao Shun obeyed Ma Liang's order, led the troops to stop under the city, and ordered more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices and Chinese to go up to challenge.

Claiming.

"General Zuo, General Zhennan under the command of Jingzhou Muguan Gong, the eldest son of Wugong Hou Shamoke, and Xiao Shun, the captain of the school, came to challenge. If you are timid, you will open the city and surrender early. If you have the courage to fight, you will see a real chapter. ”

It's a challenge, and it's also a sign up.

The barbarian king of Wuxi, Shamoke, is famous after all, and has great influence in this Jingnan region. Now he claims to be the general of Zhennan under Guan Yu, and his identity is revealed.

It's not alone, it's backering.

The division is famous.

And Xiao Shun challenged in front, and Ma Liang and Zhang Miao set up camp with miscellaneous soldiers in the back. At the same time, the city was already in chaos.

As Xiao Shun saw, the 10,000 soldiers of Wuling County were not good at all.

This is because Wuling is too guarded by Jin Xuan.

It's not just Jin Xuan, most of Liu Biao's old department in the past is not very good. Jin Xuan is a native of Sanfu Jingzhao, a minister of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Jin Riyan, whose ancestors were the Huns who surrendered.

Later, he was a close minister of the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty and gradually became a famous family. This person, as Ma Liang said, is a cowardly person and has no military strategy.

And Lingling Taishou and Guiyang Taishou are also the same.

With a county guard like Jin Xuan, the county soldiers under his command are naturally average.

And because Sun Quan had already informed the counties before, Shamoke had been annexed to boost morale. Therefore, Wuling County was defenseless against Shamoke.

At this moment, it was really Ma Liangbing who came to the city, and Wuling County knew that Shamoke had rebelled.

And when the people in the city heard that Xiao Shun claimed to be a general under the command of General Zuo Jingzhou Mu Guan Yu, they were even more waterfall sweaters. Now that the two heroes are competing, Sun Quan is not easy to mess with, so is Guan Yu easy to mess with?

It's really half a catty, and it's really bitter to be caught in it.

The general defending the city naturally did not dare to face the battle, and immediately sent people to the city to inform Jin Xuan of the news.

And at this moment, the city is already in chaos. The population of the entire Wuling County is not large, only a few hundred thousand. But after all, Linyuan City is a place of governance, and the population of the city is still twenty or thirty thousand.

At this moment, the people fled into their homes in a panic, and the people from outside the city, or merchants, could only find a place to hide.

The streets are largely empty.

Jin Xuan summoned the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures. The county Cheng, the main book, Gong Cao, and several school captains and other important civil and military officers are there.

However, at this moment, Jin Xuan and the others only knew that Wuxi barbarians were attacking, but they didn't know that the other party was already a general of the Guan family.

"The barbarians are really repeated, and there is no faith." Jin Xuan is over forty years old, but he is very well maintained, his skin is white and his body is wide, like a rich man, but at this moment he is a little angry and scolded.

"Mingfu, the barbarians have no faith. Shamoke is even more greedy for money and forgetful. Therefore, it is reasonable to repeat, and there is no need to dwell on it at this moment. Let's find a way to defeat the enemy. Wuling Juncheng, Liu Guang said.

Although this person's surname is Liu, he is not from the royal family. A native of Nainan County, he has been in Wuling County for more than ten years and has quite prestige.

"How can you defeat the enemy?" Jin Xuan perked up when he heard this, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Let a few lieutenants guard the city gate first, and we will dispatch the equipment to defend the city. He also asked the Ming government to send the master book out of the city to meet Lusu at the mouth of the oil river and ask for reinforcements. ”

Compared with Jin Xuan, Liu Guang was quite calm and said.

"Good. Do what you do. Jin Xuan immediately calmed down a lot when he heard this, and ordered.

But at this moment, the fast horse galloping from the city gate entered the hall and reported: "Mingfu, the barbarians outside the city claim to be General Zuo, the general of Zhennan under the command of Jingzhou Muguan Gong, and the eldest son of Wugong Hou Shamoke, Xiao Shun. Lead 10,000 troops to challenge. ”

The atmosphere changed immediately.

What was originally a small wind and wave turned into a monstrous wave.
