Zhang Jaw's troubles were not limited to him, Zhang Liaojun was a little easier to enter Nanhai County in Jiaozhou from Lingling County in terms of terrain, but he was also infested by miasma. However, this level of illness Sergeant Zhang Liaobu can still resist, or the situation he has to face is actually better than that of Zhang Jaw, at least the same situation as Cao Cao.

They all had the help of local people in Jiaozhou, Cao Cao captured Lipu County, Zhang Liao marched into Nanhai County, but Zhang Jaw, the unlucky guy, was blocked out of Jiaozhou by Cao Cao's military village.

Bad luck!

If the most unlucky thing in the three parties is Zhang Jaw, the most convenient is naturally Zhang Liao. His army was in contact with Shiwu before entering Nanhai County, and then led the way by the old soldier of Nanhai Zhitu, and did not go to those more dangerous areas, and the county also sent herbs with a strong smell to repel mosquitoes, and set up camp outside the city, and Shiwu also sent herbs that could cure miasma 'Changshan' to be cared for by a healer to take care of the sick soldiers.

In this way, the elite soldiers of Zhang Liao's army were naturally not under as much pressure as Zhang's army, so that they were forced back to Jingzhou by Cao Jun's several small cities and miasma.

In the short contact, the first thing Zhang Liao did when he entered Nanhai County was to patrol the Nanhai naval camp, and the result was very satisfactory...... Nanhai County was adjacent to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and was used to be an important frontline town for Shixie against Sun and Liu Biao. Therefore, the strength of the Southern Navy is not weak, on the contrary, it is an elite unit under Shi Xie that specializes in foreign warfare.

However, in Zhang Liao's opinion, this army is not yet a tiger, at least in terms of armor, they are much worse than Cao's army. Cao Cao was defeated all the way, and his troops were reduced from tens of thousands of soldiers in Yanzhou to more than 10,000 and even thousands of soldiers when he was the weakest.

This point is unmatched by the Southern Navy under the Shiwu Subordinate in any case. In fact, in the first battle on the border of the two counties, even against the Cao army, which was infected with miasma and sick from 23 out of ten, its neat armor still brought great pressure to the southern navy under the Shiwu subordinates. This pressure directly led to the retreat of the Southern Navy after seeing that it could not be attacked for a long time, and thirty percent of their army was equipped with bronze weapons, spears and blades that could be traced back to the Jingdi period at the earliest, not to mention that many soldiers did not have armor at all, and it was not easy to have a carapace, how to fight against the Cao army?

Zhang Liao's arrival changed the situation.

His idea was very simple, the northern soldiers were worried about the miasma, so that their morale was not high, and they were not familiar with the terrain in battle, but the southern navy itself was familiar with the terrain, not to mention that they had long been accustomed to the miasma, and instead of being afraid of it, they could turn their disadvantages into their own advantages. Under such circumstances, why not fight this battle with the South Navy?

Wherever Zhang Liao went, he would follow the baggage, the grain was taken from Jinzhou, and most of the soldiers had to rely on the fleet to send it to the river, which took a long time. The number of sergeants led by Zhang Liao's subordinates was quite large, approaching 30,000, which was not suitable for fighting in Jiaozhou.

However, in the art of war, there are many soldiers and there are many soldiers, and there are few soldiers and there are few soldiers, which not only depends on the favorable geographical situation, but also focuses on the goal of war. If there are many soldiers, it is necessary to divide the troops into multiple ways to increase the chances of achieving the goal; If there are few troops, it is necessary to concentrate the forces to capture a little, which is also used to increase the chances of achieving the goal.

If it was elsewhere, Zhang Liao would inevitably divide his troops to occupy the counties to bluff when he first entered the state, and then send a large army to take Cao Cao's own position. But Jiaozhou is obviously not able to do so because of the rampant miasma...... Their army did not know the way, and now that they were threatened by miasma, it was clearly not wise to divide their forces. Then it is very unwise to have a large army here, and to consume food and grass in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Liao gave an order, and the five lieutenants under the command of General Xiaocai each led their headquarters back the same way, and stationed troops in Tuntian between Lingling and Changsha in Jingzhou, and two of the lieutenants even left some armor to arm the soldiers under their command of 5,000 people.

"Now Zhang Junyi is in the north, the scholar is in the west, and Cao Mengde is already the turtle in the urn." Zhang Liao handed over the armor and said to Shiwu: "The war depends on Shifujun's Southern Navy." ”

Shiwu was surprised by Zhang Liao, a heavy general of the Yan clan, who was able to arm tens of thousands of troops with armor, how heroic is this? I have to say that Zhang Liao is indeed heroic enough, these armors are only part of the armor of the two captains' departments in his hands, but how high the armor coverage rate of the Yan army is, the armor coverage rate of the princes in various places is lower, and it is needless to say that when it comes to Jiaozhou Shiwu, the soldiers of the counties under the Taishou subordinates, needless to say.

Shiwu's Nanhai County recruited soldiers after discovering that Cao Cao had entered Cangwu, in addition to more than 3,000 standing county soldiers and more than 4,000 village warriors, but even if more than 7,000 soldiers were collected from the whole army, the big armor taken out may not be more than Zhang Liao's headquarters.

Not to mention that Zhang Liaobu also has standing armor inlaid with iron and cooked leather armor...... But to be honest, it's not that Jiaozhou doesn't have the ability to build these armors, although the iron armor can't make so much, but a county still has the ability to make thousands of leather armor in more than ten years, but the problem is that Jiaozhou is not prepared.

The enemies that Jiaozhou dealt with were mainly the sailors from Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and in addition to the rebels who were in rebellion in Benzhou, what they had in common was that they basically didn't wear armor because it was too hot.

There is no preparation in peacetime, and when it comes to the real battle with Cao Jun, it lacks the due combat power, and who will be too hot when it comes to life and death?

But then again, who would have thought that Cao Cao could run from near the Yellow River to Jiaozhou, this road is too far away.

Zhang Liao naturally stationed troops in the South China Sea with confidence, watched the soldiers prepare for the soldiers, and at the same time sent a message to Handan, hoping that the north would send another batch of soldiers to Jingzhou, not too much, only enough for a school captain's department to use. The army left in Jingzhou did not have any great responsibilities, the Yan clan had no enemies in Jingzhou for a long time, and the rest was nothing more than to suppress the place and protect the grain route.

After half a month of preparation, Shiwu sent troops into Cangwu and launched an attack on several cities occupied by Cao Cao; Zhang Liao didn't sit back and relax, except for the occasional training of soldiers, he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

A few days after the Southern Navy entered Cangwu County, Zhang Liao sent someone to send a letter to Handan City generously, by the way, although this letter was sent to Handan, the person who finally received the letter was in Changling. Zhang Liao's letter was written to his old boss Lu Bu, and he wanted to ask if the lord of the court should jointly persuade His Royal Highness King Zhao to enter.
