191, it's almost time to let it go
It was also when Di Rong took Luling City, Zhu Wei's side also let Ling Cao break Yichun County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yichun County is a small county town, the city wall made of loess stone blocks is at most three stories high, four or five steps wide, and there have been gaps in many places, and there are few wars in the south, so naturally no one will repair these city walls for no reason.
And Zhu Wei prepared a few house cave cars for Ling Cao, so that Ling Cao's disguised Buddha soldiers could rush to the wall of the earth city, find a place that was originally a gap and continue to dig the city wall.
Coupled with the fact that there were archers behind to shoot arrows to cover the defenders on the city wall, it was enough to make the county soldiers and private soldiers of various ethnic groups in Yichun County have no choice.
After digging the city wall, Ling Cao led 8,000 mountain soldiers into Yichun County, and naturally no one was stoppable, under Zhu Wei's hint, Ling Cao also unceremoniously looted the wealthy families in Yichun County, and then looked for those mansions and dock forts in the countryside around Yichun County to attack and loot.
With 8,000 mountain and Vietnamese soldiers in hand, even the county seat can be captured, and the mansions and dock forts in these places are naturally even more irresistible, and Yichun County was also swept by Ling Cao for a while.
Of course, Zhu Wei deliberately appeared in a pursuit posture at the appropriate time, receiving the grain, grass, and money obtained by Ling Cao's looting, and receiving the wounded soldiers on Ling Cao's side, and then taking over this Yichun County in the name of the official at the right time.
In fact, Zhu Wei's measures can be seen through by discerning people, but no one can say anything about Zhu Wei.
Zhu Wei has already given you face before, but you yourself refused to take it, relying on your secret relationship with Jingzhou, you want to fight against Zhu Wei, who has entered Yuzhang strongly, of course Zhu Wei doesn't need to give you face anymore.
It's just that Zhu Wei took Yichun County like this, and Ai County was a little unable to hold on, and when he heard that the so-called Rong thieves who captured Yichun County came to Ai County again, Ai County finally sent someone to see Zhu Wei, saying that Ai County was willing to accept Zhu Wei's orders, and only asked Zhu Wei to stop the so-called Rong thieves from going to Ai County.
The situation in Ai County is actually similar to that of Yichun County, although Ai County is close to Changsha County and Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, and many local wealthy households in Ai County are somewhat related to the Huang family to which Huang Zu belongs in Jiangxia County, but at the moment it is far from quenching the thirst of the near.
But Zhu Wei didn't believe in the sincerity of Ai County, after Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan discussed, he felt that Ai County's current measures were a plan to delay the army, if Ai County was let go like this, maybe Ai County would become a springboard for Jiangxia Huang Zu to get involved in Yuzhang in the future.
Therefore, Zhu Wei only appeased Ai County on the surface, saying that he would step up the pursuit of Ling Cao's pretended thief army, and then deliberately asked Ai County to send military rations and materials to show his sincerity, as if he really believed Ai County's surrender.
But in fact, Zhu Wei secretly ordered Ling Cao to lead his troops to step up the raid on Ai County, lest Jiangxia Huangzu send any reinforcements to Ai County.
So Ling Cao entered Ai County the next day, plundered all the way, and killed the county seat of Ai County again.
The county seat of Ai County is similar to the county seat of Yichun County, but the people of Ai County have also made some repairs to the city wall during these days, and at the same time strengthened the defense of the county seat.
There are also only three or four thousand people guarding the city on the side of Ai County, and many of them are still temporary strong men, which can also be regarded as a rabble, so it only took half a day for Ai County to be broken by Ling Cao and his troops.
In this way, it took almost half a month for Zhu Wei to take Yichun and Ai County from the bottom of the side, and pacify the northwest of Yuzhang.
Yuzhang County is also separated from Jiangxia County and Changsha County in Jingzhou, and there are also Luoxiao Mountains and Mufu Mountain Ranges, and without the local forces of Yichun County and Ai County as internal responses, the forces of Jiangxia and Changsha in Jingzhou cannot easily reach into Yuzhang.
However, Zhu Wei did not divide his troops to garrison here, and now Zhu Wei's subordinates are really understaffed, so Zhu Wei just pretended to disperse the so-called Zhenrong thief soldiers, and after Ling Cao returned to the team, he led his troops back to Yichun County and began to threaten to occupy Luling Zhenrong again.
Zhu Wei's purpose is to let Zhenrong help eliminate the local warrior clan and the powerful clan forces, but he doesn't really give Zhenrong time to recover his strength, and Zhu Wei is also very interested in the grain, grass and materials that Zhenrong looted from the Luling area.
Although Yuzhang County is not a famous state and county in the history of the Three Kingdoms, it can only be regarded as an ordinary state and county in Jiangdong, and in addition to the surrounding areas of Poyang Lake and Yuzhang River, many places are also mountainous landforms, which are not suitable for agricultural development, so in the game system of the Three Kingdoms, it is only recognized that Yuzhang City can be regarded as a game system city, and other counties are basically ignored.
But in any case, in the granaries of many scholars and Haoqiang families in Yuzhang, a lot of grain is also stored.
Zhu Wei obtained a lot of money and grain in Yichun County and Ai County through Ling Cao's pretended to be a thief soldier, not to mention the Rongrong who occupied Luling County.
Zhu Wei's side asked Ling Cao to pretend to be a thief and soldier just to target some big and wealthy families, and he still let go of many small families and ordinary people, but Zhu Rong's side not only wanted money and food, but also did not let go of ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhenrong in Luling County is like a locust transit, almost all the places where his soldiers and horses pass have become no man's land, and everyone is coerced by his soldiers and horses into chaos.
Now the manpower under his control has become more than 100,000 people, including tens of thousands of women, children, old and young, of course, so his combat effectiveness has been weakened.
In many cases, his troops are not used against the enemy, but need to be used to guard the people of Luling.
Therefore, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan felt that the laissez-faire behavior of Zhu Rong was almost over, and as Zhu Wei's army returned to Yichun County from Ai County, Zhu Wei first sent Pang Yan and Tai Shi Ci to command 6,000 new troops and 6,000 private soldiers of all ethnic groups in Lingyang County, preparing to loosen the muscles and bones of Zhu Rong and drive Zhu Rong forward in the direction of Jiaozhou.
This time in Yichun County and Ai County, it was mainly Ling Cao who led the troops to fight in the front, and Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan were just watching the drama and acting in the back, so Pang Yan and Tai Shici did not hang out together, and the two had already led the troops to prepare in Yichun County, waiting for the military order to be dispatched to fight Rongrong at any time.
Now letting the two of them lead the troops to attack is tantamount to letting out the two tigers that have been hungry for a long time.
And Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan after some consideration, they still decided to drive Zhenrong to Jiaozhou, the situation on the Jingzhou side is really uncertain, and there is no strong local force on the Jiaozhou side, and there is not too much population to develop, and driving Zhenrong over will not make Zhenrong a threat.
The Nashi family is also a local scholar clan, a powerful head snake, and now it is actually not a big force, and there is no official identity to rule Jiaozhou, so driving Zhenrong over is just the right time to have a strong dragon to fight the head snake, and maybe it can disrupt the situation in Jiaozhou.
It's like a strategy to drive away the tiger, after letting the two tigers of Zhenrong and Shibian fight each other, then Zhu Wei will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman when he enters Jiaozhou again.
According to Wang Yuyan's plan to Zhu Wei, Zhu Wei could at least take Nanhai County and Hepu County in Jiaozhou first.
As for Cangwu County, Yulin County, and other counties located in the mountains of Guangxi, and even Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, and Rinan County on the Vietnamese side, it is completely possible to wait for Zulang to move the people of Jing County over, and let Zulang, the commander of Shanyue Sect, who is good at mountain warfare, lead his troops to slowly clear the area that is also mountainous and mountainous.
In this way, you can also give full play to Zulang's strengths, and in the future, you may be able to hand over Jiaozhou to Zulang to govern, which can be regarded as not treating Zulang badly.
After Zhu Wei takes control of Jiaozhou, he can get an extension of land in the rear, if the development is appropriate, it can also provide Zhu Wei with a lot of food and grass materials, and at the same time, Zhu Wei can directly threaten Yizhou, maybe he can take the opportunity to do something to Yizhou.
Moreover, driving Zhenrong in the direction of Jiaozhou can also prevent Zhenrong from continuing to run around, which can be regarded as forcing Zhenrong into a desperate situation.
At the same time, let Zhen Rong preach Buddhism in Jiaozhou, an area where many barbarian tribes live, and it seems that it can also help Zhu Wei deal with the chaotic situation of the mixed barbarian tribes in Jiaozhou.
Thinking that in order to get rid of his religious unification policy, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan would definitely help Zhu Wei to educate the locality, and Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan even decided to send Zhu Rong to Jiaozhou, so that he could give him some time to develop.
In short, after setting this strategy, Zhu Wei didn't think about anything else......
