The latest chapter of "The Three Kingdoms: Runan Chen Bozhi"...
However, it was said that Chen Linshi had been separated for more than a month, and the Xinggu War had lasted for more than two months, and finally succeeded in separating Gaoding and Yongmen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoGaoding surrendered, Yongmen and Zhu Bao led less than 2,000 soldiers and horses to flee, and went straight to Yunnan to join the barbarians. And Chen Lin is in Xinggu to seal the vassals, and everyone is rewarded. At that time, the scouts reported urgently, and the barbarians did not go further for 50 days after capturing Shakou, because the grain and grass were not continued, and the barbarians went north from Sanjiang to Yunnan, ranging from 1,600 li, and the whole county of Yunnan burned tobacco, and Li Hui and Liu Huabei took away countless materials when they fled, so the 100,000 barbarians could not continue, and had to stop in Yunnan and Shakou. At the same time, the king of Tuya also wants to unite the western barbarian clan, the White Tribe.
Chen Lin was taken aback and ordered: "Order Gao Shun to investigate this Baibu news with all his might, report it at any time, and at the same time send a large number of people to Yunnan and other places." Divide the local Yi people in Yunnan County, and prevent them from cooperating with the barbarians to rebel against the Han. "There are still countless Yi people in Yunnan, but these small tribes are far inferior to the barbarians in Sanjiang. But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Then Chen Lin knew that he couldn't be in Xinggu anymore, and he had to rush back to Jianning immediately.
Lu Kai was directly made a Shangshu Ling adjutant, and he was going to follow Jia Xu back to Nanzheng to do things in the future, and this Xinggu has lost its meaning. As soon as the Yongmen rebels were exterminated, it was impossible for the barbarians to travel thousands of miles to the small city of Xinggu, which was meaningless. Therefore, Chen Lin wanted to withdraw all his forces to Jianning, and there were as many as 10,000 rebels who surrendered to Cheng, as well as two or three thousand prisoners. It can be said that this time Chen Lin went out to Xinggu, there were more than 16,000 people when he came, but when he went back, there were about 25,000 soldiers and horses, which did not decrease but increased, of course, this takes time to digest.
The army set off, and on the way Jia Xu said: "Lord, now that it has snowed heavily in Chengdu, it seems that it will be difficult for support from the north to come to Jianning in the next few months." Xu suggested that the lord should not fight with the brutes in the short term, focus on defense, and do not take the initiative to fight. It is expected that with the 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses of our army, he will stick to Jianning, even if he comes with 100,000 barbarian soldiers, it will not hurt, but it is a pity that the two counties of Yunnan and Jianning are wasted. ”
Chen Lin: "What Wen He said is reasonable, the harsh winter is coming, and it is not easy for our army's successor grain and grass to keep up, and it is really unwise to take the initiative to make plans." But fortunately, our army is in trouble, and the barbarians are also facing the same problem, what is happening on the Lushui side now? ”
Jia Xu: "My lord, our army has always been based on the strategy of holding on to Lujin Pass and attacking Jianning. Now the Lushui area headed by Lujin Pass is presided over by General Yang Ren, and some time ago, the Fa Taishou of Zhuti County sent another 2,000 soldiers to General Yang, as well as a batch of materials for the winter, it can be said that Lujin Pass is worry-free. ”
Chen Lin: "Lushui is poisonous when it is hot, but it is cold but not enough to freeze, and it is indeed not easy for barbarians to cross Lushui." Hehe, I can't imagine that there is such a magical river in the world, either fire poison or methamphetamine, amazing. "Lushui is a special section of river water in the south, when the weather is hot, the water surface is full of poisonous gas, when the weather is cold, but it is many times colder than the ordinary river water, which can be described as natural and bad.
Jia Xu: "Yes, lord, this time back to Jianning, our army has a total of 45,000 troops, less than half of the barbarians, if you want to defeat the barbarians, you still need foreign aid." Xu has an idea, that is, the Baibu in the west and the Qingqiang in the north, which are definitely two forces that cannot be underestimated in Shu. Needless to say, Qingqiang didn't need to say that Liu Junlang bought Qingqiang back then, and he could come out with 5,000 cavalry casually, which shows how powerful Qingqiang is. Our army entered Shu this time and there was no cavalry, so why not take advantage of it. First, it can strengthen our army, and second, it can weaken the threat of foreign races. ”
"There is also the White Department in the west, it is said that this White Department is an extremely powerful barbarian tribe, and strangely, there has been no record of invading my Han for so many years. I think that either this white department is extremely conservative, or this white department is close to the Han people or does not want war. But no matter what it is, now that the Tuya King and others have actually paid attention to this white army, our army has to intervene, and at the worst, we can't let the white army unite with the brute soldiers to increase the strength of the enemy army. ”
Chen Lin: "Well, what Wen said to you is reasonable, about Qingqiang, King Gu thought that our army would be mainly defensive in the next few months, and King Gu wanted Uncle Zhi to go back to Shu County in person." But the white department, but it has to be considered in the long run, the area west of Kunlun Hu is all white forces, this has to go back and ask Zi Xia, in order to know the key, no one can have more say in this matter than Zi Xia. ”
Jia Xu thought about it, too, not to mention that Liu Hua is an expert in dealing with foreign affairs, and Liu Hua has also been a Yunnan Taishou no matter how he says, with Liu Hua's personality, it is impossible not to have a connection with this white department. Chen Lin: "Wenhe, King Gu looks at that Wang Ping, he has some ability, why don't you put him in the Han Sheng Army as a deputy general, what do you think?" ”
Jia Xu: "Well, this is the favor of the lord, and Wang Pingtian is a great blessing." "Now Jianning will be able to have 45,000 troops when Chen Lin goes back this time, but there are only so many generals, Wu Yi himself is too guarded, and Chen Lin cannot let Wu Yi have more contact with military power. Li Hui is a civil official who is better than a military officer, Wu Ban is a new general, and he is temporarily useless, this time he came to Xinggu, and Wu Ban was directly embarrassed by E Huan. So Jia Xu is still willing to see a little more people to join the army, Wang Ping is good.
Chen Lin's great victory set off a storm in Jianning. The people who were pessimistic before finally saw a little bit of light. Yongmen's rebellion basically originated from the rebellion of the Shu sergeant clan, but after Chen Lin came back, he didn't mention a word about this matter, and Chen Lin didn't plan to dig into it. Before the rebellion of the Shu sergeant clan, thousands of people are now locked up, and the leader is killed. As soon as Chen Lin returned to Jianning, he ordered Hanzhong and Chengdu to kill people, and he had not dealt with them for a long time, because he was afraid that it would cause panic and make the wavering defect to Yongmen, and now Yongmen is over. Standing with the barbarians, even if there was really someone in Shu who was against Chen Lin, he would not go to Yongmen, so Chen Lin knew that it was time to end this matter. Chen Lin killed at least 2,000 people in Hanzhong and Chengdu, but now that Chen Lin has returned victorious, and Yongmen has run into the barbarian army, no one dares to speak for the rebellious warriors at this juncture. Even Wu Yi, Du Wei, Zhang Song and others didn't dare, everyone knew that Chen Lin had not dealt with it for so long, but he had locked up these people, it turned out that he was just looking for an opportunity. In other words, Chen Linda was concerned about being punished heavily from the beginning, who could intercede with these mortal people so unsightly.
Gao Shun: "My lord, there is a newspaper in Hanzhong, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan came to vote." In Jianning's mansion, Chen Lin suddenly heard such a sentence, and Chen Lin hurriedly jumped up: "What? It's true? Wen Yuan came to vote? Gao Shun nodded: "Yes, the lord, Zhang Liao disappeared in Chang'an, I don't want to be thousands of miles away, it took so long to appear, if the lord enters Shu more than ten days later, I am afraid that I can still see Zhang Liao." ”
Jia Xu hurried: "General Gao, Zhang Wenyuan came to vote, how many troops did you lead?" Jia Xu's first thought was that Zhang Liao was also a big force in Chang'an at the beginning, and he was a person who could compete with Lu Bu, if he had too many soldiers and horses, I was afraid that it might not be all good.
Gao Shun shook his head: "General Zhang only has more than 100 horsemen to vote, with his family. Oh yes, Yan Taishou also said that there was also a Cao Xing who came with him, it is said that this person was a subordinate of Ding Jianyang, and later a subordinate of Lu Fengxian, I don't know why he came with General Zhang. ”
When Huang Yan and the others heard this, they were all stunned, and Chen Lin was also overjoyed: "True? The truth is also here? Hahahaha, Gao Shun, you don't know, before I met you, in Bingzhou, the lonely king knew the truth. Huang Yan, do you remember, the true archery is not under you. ”
This time it was Gao Shun's turn and others to be surprised, it was not that Chen Lin actually knew Cao Xing, which also explained why Cao Xing came to Hanzhong. They were surprised that Chen Lin actually said that Cao Xing's archery skills were not under Huang Yan, you must know that until now, only Huang Zhong can compare with Huang Yan in archery, and now a person who is not very famous has suddenly appeared, but he has such great ability?
Chen Lin looked at everyone's expressions and laughed: "This lonely king said that you don't believe it, Huang Yan, you say it yourself." Huang Yan stepped forward and said pertinently: "Well, the eldest young master didn't lie to you, although he didn't fight with Cao Benzhen, but that man has long arms and round eyes, and his archery skills are definitely not bad." ”
Gao Shun and the others had to believe it this time, and they were surprised. Zhang Liao and Cao Xing came to vote, which made Chen Lin feel so happy, and shouted: "Okay, immediately appoint Zhang Wenyuan and Cao Benzhen as generals, anyway, the two of them have no soldiers and horses now, and they are alone, so they ordered the two of them to quickly enter Shu after placing their families in Hanzhong, and come to Jianning, General Zhang Wenyuan, Cao Benzhen has not seen him for a long time, and the lonely king can't help but want to see him." ”
Turning back to Jianning's defensive problem, Chen Lin hurriedly asked Liu Hua: "Zixia, it is reported that the barbarians are now in contact with the White Department and want to win over the White Department, and the Lone King also wants to contact the White Department, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”
Liu Hua happened to be transporting supplies from Jiangyang for the last time this year, and it would be winter after that, and it would not be convenient until next year. As soon as Liu Hua heard Chen Lin's question, he hurriedly shouted: "The lord can't do it, it's not okay." ”
Chen Lin, Fa Zheng and the others were stunned, why did Liu Hua react so much. Especially Jia Xu, who made this suggestion, hurriedly asked, "Why is Lord Liu so panicked?" ”
Liu Hua: "The lord doesn't know, this matter of the White Qin State, Shanyue, who was driven from the east by the King of Qin, is not a barbarian in this Shu. After this white tribe came to Dianchi, it settled in the west of Yunnan, forming its own family, not interacting with the Han people, and not interacting with the barbarians. If anyone breaks into the white department, the unintentional person may still be able to come out, and if the person has a purpose, he will be beheaded. And they put their heads on stakes, and trees on the roads of their tribes, to warn them that were coming. It can be said that this white part is a kind of out-of-the-world world that does not interact with the outside world, and people do not offend me and I do not offend others. ”
When Chen Lin heard this, ah, this, Qin State? Qin Shi Huang had 500,000 elites in the south back then, and he was pressing these barbarians, and he couldn't imagine that this Bai tribe actually ran over from Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places, but it has been hundreds of years now. But the methods of this white department are too much, Chen Lin is still worried: "That Zixia, now it is said that this barbarian soldier is also in contact with this white department, if this white department is recruited by the barbarians, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to our army?" ”
Liu Hua shook his head, waved his hand, and said, "Lord, by chance, Xia Guan learned that this white department would definitely not be combined with anyone. Hakube is now plotting to go west, to cross the mountains, away from the Han, and establish a country by the sea on the other side of the mountain. ”
Liu Huayi said, everyone is in chaos, and so is Chen Lin: "What? Is there a sea on the other side of the mountain? The lonely king has always only known that there is a sea in Qingzhou, Jiangdong and other places, why is there a sea in this barbarian land? If you go further west, will you not go beyond the heavens? Liu Hua said: "Lord, in fact, not really, how big this world is, no one knows, just say that the fifty countries of the Western Regions, it is said that in the west of the fifty countries of the Western Regions, there is a powerful empire, called the Rest Empire, and there are big countries in the west of the Rest Empire, and the west is infinite. ”
Suddenly, Chen Lin remembered Grandpa's words back then: "The world is round, go all the way to the west, and you can come back from the east." Chen Lin has always regarded it as a joke, and now, Chen Lin suddenly has the idea of wanting to go and see it, and Grandpa's words don't seem to have been missed.
Jia Xu: "That is to say, it is impossible for Baibu to become a partner of barbarians, so the lord suggests that he should increase his efforts to win over the local Yi people in Yunnan and make them available to our army." Xu suggested that Lord Liu should host the matter. ”
When Liu Hua heard this, he made meritorious service for his crimes, and hurriedly went out and shouted: "The lord, Hua recommended himself, and won over 100,000 people for the lord." When he said that, he actually shed tears, probably remembering his dereliction of duty and losing the whole of Yunnan. Chen Lin saw that on the one hand, it was recommended by Jia Xu, and on the other hand, Liu Hua strongly recommended himself, can he not agree.
"My lord, I am suggesting that the large battalions on the left and right outside the city should be garrisoned, and Jianning City will be the horns of each other." Fa Zheng hurriedly suggested.
Chen Lin: "When Shangyong besieged Cai Mao, King Gu ordered to dig a ravine outside Shangyong City, which suddenly made King Gu think of a new way of fighting, especially for the side that held on. Everyone, please think about it, if our army digs several huge ravines outside the city of Jianning, leaving only a hundred steps of the city gate avenue, and then garrisons the army on the edge of the ravine. If the enemy comes to fill the ravine, they will shoot them with bows and arrows, and they will not get twice the result with half the effort, and 10,000 defenders can defeat 30,000 enemy troops. ”
Chen Lin picked up a large pen and drew a simple idea on the paper, which was actually very simple, that is, digging a ditch, and then putting his own soldiers and horses behind the ditch. In this way, if the enemy wants to attack, he can only fill in the ditch first, or use a long ladder to come, but there is a large army on this side, how can it be so easy. In this way, it is not much more advantageous to fight with the brutes on flat ground.
Jia Xu looked at it and said: "Lord, this method is okay for defense, but it also greatly restricts the offensive of our army, so it will not become a time-consuming battle." ”
Chen Lin nodded: "Yes, now our army is outnumbered, and its strength is not as good as that of the barbarians, for this reason, first hold on, consume the barbarians, the lone king sits on the entire territory of Yizhou, but it is a hundred times richer than the barbarians, the lone king can spend a year here, the barbarians maybe?" After the beginning of spring next year, our army here will also have half a year of training, and the rear materials will also be unimpeded, and then it will be the time for our army to wait for an opportunity to counterattack. ”
There is no way to do this, which means that until April and May next year, it will be a stalemate, and the whole county of Yunnan is only afraid that it will suffer. Sacrificing Yunnan and winning the war was Chen Lin's decision. In the future, you will fall into a long period of perseverance, and you will not fight alive or dead, and you will have the ability to attack the city. As long as Jianning is not broken, the barbarians will not want to go further north.
