Chapter 622: The "Helpless" Han People

And successfully recruited Zhuge Liang, Liu He added another top talent under his account, and the joy in his heart can be seen, and then Liu He led more than 100,000 troops to besiege Jianning City on three sides in accordance with the established policy, allowing the barbarian army to enter, but never launched an attack.

"What the hell is Han Jun doing?" Seeing that the Han army did not launch an attack for a month, but just allowed the barbarian army to increase its troops, even Meng Shu couldn't sit still a little and asked with a surprised face.

I saw King Duosi stepped forward and said: "According to the last general, this is not to say that the Han army has any conspiracy, the king should know that the Han army originally meant to annihilate us in one fell swoop, so let us transfer troops from everywhere, but now we suddenly found that our number is too much, with the strength of the Han army, it is difficult to defeat us, but just retreat and have no face, so they are struggling to support under the city, this king does not have to worry at all, we don't have to fight with them, just wait quietly for a few months, When they don't have enough food and grass, they will naturally retreat. ”

"Haha, Brother Duosi is worthy of being the first wise man in my Nanban, he actually saw the key to the problem at a glance, and found such a wise way to deal with it, you are right, although the Han army is smaller, but the combat effectiveness is relatively strong, and the morale of our army is low, it is not easy to defeat them, but they are too far away from the mainland, and the transportation of grain and grass has become a big problem, as long as they hold on for a few more months, they will definitely withdraw from the army in the case of insufficient supply of grain and grass."

So Meng was ordered to go down, and all the soldiers of the whole army were to stick to the city, and they were not allowed to go out of the city to fight.

When the order was conveyed, everyone in the Southern Barbarians was terrified, and no one dared to ask Meng Huo about fighting the Han army.

In the following days, the Han army still did not attack, and the barbarian soldiers were ordered to strengthen the city defenses at the beginning, patrolling day and night, and later seeing that all they did was useless, the Han army actually ignored it at all, and suddenly they all had the feeling that their punch with full strength had smashed into the cotton.

"We don't have to patrol and strengthen the city defenses so hard, and the Han army doesn't dare to fight with us at all."

"Yes, don't look at the last time they fought so fiercely, in fact, it was just a trick, now that we are in the city, they can only attack the city honestly if they want to defeat us."

"But they didn't dare, because it would cost them heavy casualties."

"The key is that it can't capture Jianning City with casualties, in that case, how faceless should the Han army be?"

......

The barbarian soldiers often gathered together to make similar discussions, which were quieter at first, but later became more and more unscrupulous, and even deliberately laughed loudly, in order to provoke a reaction from the Han army under the city, and at the same time test the attitude of the Han army.

In their opinion, if the Han army had other plans, in their spicy sarcasm, even if most of the Han soldiers could bear it, there would definitely be people who would open their mouths to fight back because they couldn't bear it, but the current situation is that none of those Han soldiers even spoke, and after hearing their unscrupulous talk, they were all ashamed and silent.

And this reaction made the barbarian soldiers even more unscrupulous, and later they no longer did anything to build city defenses at all, and even the patrols became loose and casual, although the generals defending the city knew the situation on the city, but also thought that the Han army did not dare to enter, so they just turned a blind eye.

Later, the performance of the barbarian soldiers was even more obvious, and they even greeted the Han soldiers under the city with a smile.

This made all the Han soldiers angry, and they sought out their superiors one after another, asking to fight the barbarians and teach these ignorant barbarians a good lesson.

In fact, those middle- and lower-level officers did not know Liu He's strategy, and they had long been deeply dissatisfied with the provocative behavior of the barbarians, so they reacted to their superiors and strongly demanded a decisive battle with the barbarian army.

However, these officers were reprimanded one after another, and were told not to pay attention to the provocations of the barbarians in the next time, and that all the arrangements of their own lords would sooner or later make them angry, and in addition, those high-ranking officers also warned them that they must strictly abide by military discipline, and if they continue to make trouble like this, they will definitely be punished by military discipline.

Although the officers and men of the Han army expressed dissatisfaction with such a reply, they were all afraid to be angry and did not dare to speak out due to the constraints of military discipline.

In this way, in the face of the provocative words and deeds of the barbarians, these Han soldiers were even more angry and furious.

"Our army has been fighting for many years and has encountered countless strong enemies, but which time did it not defeat them to the ground and flee in panic? Never before has there ever been such indifference in the face of enemy ridicule. ”

"What I said is that back then, I followed the lord to conquer Wuhuan together, and I killed the world so much that the sky and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon were gone, and the Wuhuan people were frightened, and that battle was called happy, but now, it is really embarrassing."

"The most important thing is, how arrogant have the barbarians now? It's just kicking the nose in the face, giving the face shameless, whenever I see their smug face, I can't wait to slap it, what is the matter? I really think that I am invincible in the world, there is a kind of decisive battle, and Lao Tzu picks the five of them one by one! ”

"Only five? You're really enough, if you want me, at least pick ten of them, just those simple-minded and underdeveloped limbs, ten together are not my opponents......"

The reaction in the Han army camp quickly spread to the barbarian barracks at the head of the city, Meng Shu was very happy about this reaction, he can now feel that the current Han army camp is dividing, divided into the main battle faction and the "main and peace faction", the main battle faction is mainly a part of the soldiers, although it looks quite majestic, but it is just a group of brainless soldiers, it will not play a role at all, Meng Shu dares to guarantee that if the battle is head-on, it only takes a while to kill those brave and unscrupulous main battle faction soldiers without leaving a piece of armor; The "Lord and Faction" includes most of the generals and soldiers, who basically do not advocate fighting against the barbarian army, but only want to consume the barbarian army's food and grass and break the will of the barbarian army.

Meng Shu was naturally even more proud after learning the news, and said with a laugh: "Hehe, you don't know, the current Han people are also very helpless, then Liu He doesn't know at all, although our army's grain and grass are indeed not very rich, but it is no problem to hold on for a few more months, especially when spring is coming soon, and after the beginning of spring, our army can take local materials and hunt wild beasts and weeds in the jungle to live, and the Han army has no experience in living in the jungle, and does not know how to obtain food at all, Only rely on transporting grain from Shu and Jingzhou to supply materials, but it is about to come to the time of green and yellow, coupled with several months of conquest, it is estimated that the grain and grass in Shu and Jingzhou are almost empty, and the balance of power has changed again under the supply of materials on both sides of the enemy and us, and it is estimated that the Han army is not far from retreating, and we are ready to meet the victory of this great war. ”
