Chapter 94: The First Meeting of the Barbarians

Together with the other generals He Qi, Quan Cong, Zhong Limu, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Chen Biao, Ling Tong, Zhu Huan, Zhang Wen, Zhang Cheng, Gu Cheng, etc., the total number of troops obtained exceeded 200,000. As for the number of people who use it to supplement the household, there are naturally more. This is one of the main reasons why Sun Wu was able to establish a country in Jiangnan for more than 80 years.

Of course, in the past 30 years, Shanyue has also restrained a lot of energy from the Sun Wu regime, resulting in many rear chaos, and he has to miss the opportunity to return to the division.

Therefore, Liu Cong wants to learn the experience for the future, catch Ding Chongjun, and win to make up for the household, which is a good thing to count in one fell swoop, and Liu Cong doesn't think that it is a labor force to move the public.

"Soldiers?" Wen Ping didn't know what happened later, which was naturally strange. You must know that Wulingman is hidden in the poor mountains and bad waters, and he has always been brutal, and he will definitely lose a lot of soldiers when he sends troops to level the barbarians, but Liu Cong said that it is for the sake of soldiers?

"Yes, I will wait for the soldiers to go, and we will move all the barbarians out of Wuling, the strong ones will be soldiers, and the winners will make up for the households!" Liu Cong patiently explained.

"All moved out...... It's hard to do. "Although Wen Ping has experience in dealing with large-scale enemy forces, this Wuling Barbarian is scattered in the mountains and forests in a tribal situation, and it is not as good as an ordinary army. It is not difficult for the army to be completely annihilated, and the tribes are scattered, often fleeing in despair.

"This matter still requires the full cooperation of Jin Taishou! Let's go to the school to recruit soldiers. Liu Cong knew that it would be difficult to convince the generals before seeing obvious benefits, so he had to watch while doing it, but since he was invited to be barbaric, this grain and grass was naturally in charge of Jin Xuan.

After receiving the order, 6,000 Jiangling soldiers were selected for joint training.

I have to say that there is still a set of this civil recruitment and management of the army. In Jiangling, Liu Cong handed over the army to the corresponding generals for training in normal times, and they practiced together once a month for three to five days at a time. Perhaps because the training methods used by the generals were all from Liu Cong, it didn't take much time for the various branches of the army to run in temporarily.

After ten days of preparation, the army set out from Jiangling, Liu Cong still had to recruit in person, leaving Wenpin, Gan Ning, and Zhuge Liang to guard Jiangling, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong as the vanguard, and Jiang Wan accompanied him.

Receiving the news of Liu Cong's army's departure, Jin Xuan was also taken aback, originally thought that Liu Cong would send a general to lead two or three thousand troops to destroy several barbarian cottages as punishment, but he never thought that Liu Cong would almost come out of the nest.

Fortunately, there has been no war in Wuling for many years, and the autumn harvest has just begun, so there is no problem with grain and grass.

It is said that Liu Cong led the army to Linyuan County and was not polite to Jin Xuan, since he came to Pingman, he naturally wanted to unify the command, and Liu Cong took the two thousand soldiers of Wuling to the front line as the general of Pingnan. Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan also followed to Pingman.

"Lord Jin, tell me about the general situation of this Wuling barbarian."

"Well, general, my lords......" Jin Xuan had already roughly understood the distribution of the Wuling barbarians according to Liu Cong's request, "The largest tribe is about 6,000 people......

"Is there a possibility of surrender?"

"The lower officials have already sent people to contact them, and at present, the tribes are not united with each other, robbing and killing each other, and robbing women of their money and property from time to time, but the general's large-scale expedition is only afraid that it will lead to their greater unity."

"No, the reason why the barbarians often enter the interior to harass them is that their fields are not enough to support their wives and clansmen. I also ask Lord Jin to send someone to the more friendly tribes in the past to promise money and grain fields, and try to let them fight side by side with us! ”

"This method is very wonderful, but I am afraid that there are not so many fields in Wuling County......"

"Wuling doesn't have it, Nanjun has it, and Nanjun can continue to reclaim if it doesn't." Liu Cong was afraid that Jin Xuan would be worried, so he showed Jin Xuan his achievements in Tuntian, Nanjun. In these years, it's not a lack of land, but a lack of people.

After the army drove to Yuanling County, it was stationed in the same place, and Jin Xuan sent several envoys to the barbarian tribes to issue a Zhao'an document, which was limited to three days for those who were near, and handed the letter to Yuanling County within five days for those who were far away, otherwise they would face the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers.

Three days later, the envoy returned with the leaders of the eight tribes near Yuanling County, and the leaders of the five largest tribes came.

Liu Cong first asked Jin Xuan to deal with him, but after half an hour, Jin Xuan was defeated and retreated, it turned out that these leaders seemed to have no fear, not only did not agree to accept the imperial court's recruitment, but also incidentally proposed that they would stop invading only if the imperial court provided enough food for their people to survive the winter.

This makes Liu Cong laugh when he thinks about it, aren't these barbarians the predecessors of a certain peninsula projectile country in the later generations of harmony, in the later generations of harmony, the projectile country also claims to destroy the earth's supergiant rice country at every turn, and comically made an attack video, which caused the world to laugh.

Only that projectile country can do this kind of thing, if you don't help me with food, I will engage in a nuclear explosion, send **, so that you will not be able to live in peace, as for the consequences? It's a big deal to start a jihad.

It's just that there are two big brothers behind the Danwan Country, although they don't support him very much, why do these Wuling barbarians actually treat Liu Cong's 6,000 men and horses as nothing?

With a strong curiosity, Liu Cong, accompanied by Jin Xuan and Jiang Wan, came to the meeting room where the tribal leaders gathered.

When Jin Xuan introduced Liu Cong to the leaders, there was also a noisy chatter in the hall, which only made Liu Cong extremely depressed.

"Leaders, don't you think that my Han saber is not good?" Liu Cong stood on the top and glanced at the next hall, these leaders were really self-righteous, which reminded Liu Cong of the Shanyue leaders he met in Lingling. It's just that the tribes under those leaders are much more numerous than these barbarians, and they are not scared of the slightest trick. How are these people going to deal with them?

Seeing Liu Cong speak, a middle-aged man stood up and said slowly: "General Pingnan, don't want me to wait for a child, although the general leads 6,000 troops, my Wuling boy has tens of thousands, and he can be gathered together in less than three days." Does the general think that with 6,000 against tens of thousands, he can win safely? ”

Six thousand against tens of thousands, this guy is smart, let's give Liu Cong a horse first. Facing the imperial court general, he is more calm than Liu Cong!

Liu Cong turned around and asked Jin Xuan in a low voice: "Who is this?" ”

"This person is Kou Jun, a strategist of the Kouping tribe, I heard that he has some talents...... Jin Xuan must have seen this person's tricks, so he did not forget to respect him in front of Liu Cong.

"Yes, General Pingnan, we have more than 20 tribes of all sizes adding up to tens of thousands of people, but we are not afraid of your only 6,000 soldiers, even if we send tens of thousands of soldiers, we can escape into the mountains and make you nowhere to be found. It's better to distribute the food as soon as possible, let me wait and go back to the tribe to pay the errands, and I will promise that after getting the food, I will never come out to harass the Wuling counties again. ”

"Yes, as long as there is enough food, we don't want to be enemies of the imperial court......"

“……”

The more Liu Cong listened, the more angry he became, daring to feel that these leaders didn't take their own Pingnan generals seriously, they couldn't talk about it if they went on like this, they were here to pacify the barbarians, and they still had the idea of catching strong men, looking at these leaders speaking in unison, it seemed that they had already discussed countermeasures, and they came together today to advance and retreat together to put pressure on Liu Cong.

There is no way, if more than 20 tribes share the same hatred, even if Liu Cong wins in the end, he will definitely have to pay a heavy price. They must be broken one by one. Liu Cong then asked Jin Xuan about the situation of the other tribal leaders.

"The one at the top of the right is Lu Jian, the leader of the second largest tribe, Lu Jian."

Following the direction of Jin Xuan's finger, Liu Cong saw a middle-aged man sitting on the case, dressed like a Han person, the leaders were noisy, but he sat quietly on the side, Liu Cong looked over, and he also smiled calmly.

Nima, why are the leaders or strategists of these barbarian tribes as calm as Longzhong Zhuge Liang, this is called barbarians, this is the group of heroes!

"The one under him is the fourth-ranked tribal leader, their tribe has more than 3,000 people, and opposite him is the third-ranked Mukun tribal leader."

Liu Cong looked at it again, it was a young man, a very strong young man, and his head was the strategist who spoke just now, and next to the strategist was a young man who thought he was stronger than him.

By the way, this is a barbarian, at first glance at the first two people, Liu Cong thought that he had arrived in Xiangyang, and then looked at the leaders of the tribes behind, and finally found a bit of a barbarian.
