"The Mongol cavalry of Hala and Lin bought much less soybeans from the grain merchants than a year ago, and it is suspected that at least 100,000 fine war horses have left Hala and Lin."

"In addition to the war horses used for impact, the Mongols also have a large number of pack horses, and I am afraid that it is not as simple as a lack of 100,000 horses. Where did this Mongol cavalry go? ”

The player sent by Chen Xi to Hara and Lin to inquire about the information quickly returned the news he wanted to know.

Sure enough, a detachment of Mongol cavalry disappeared.

In the past, Chen Xi did not pay attention to the movements of the Mongol cavalry in Mobei, but now, a Mongolian cavalry disappeared for a long time, which made Chen Xi panic.

"According to the current information, except for the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in Goryeo, the Mongolian cavalry has not appeared on other battlefields, so this Mongolian cavalry ......"

Chen Xi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Hala and Lin's garrisons would not disappear inexplicably, and could only be sent by Chutian to deal with the enemy.

Liu Bei is also currently one of Chu Tian's enemies.

At this time, Wang Meng, another military advisor of the Shu Han Army, hurriedly came to Chen Xi: "Have you sent someone to inquire about the movements of the Mongolian cavalry?" ”

Chen Xi replied, "Exactly." About 100,000 Mongol cavalry have disappeared and are missing, and I will ask someone to inquire about their whereabouts as soon as possible. ”

Wang Meng shook his head: "There is no need to ask. Jiao Huang, the Taishou of Yuewang County, was in a hurry, and a cavalry that entered Yuewang County united with the local Nanban leader Gao Ding to attack the counties of Yuewang County and directly take Yizhou County. The three counties in Nanzhong, the tribes of Qike County, Yuewang County, and Yizhou County are all opposed. The three counties are too anxious. ”

"How is that possible! The teleportation arrays of the three counties in the south and central are all controlled by our soldiers and horses, and in our rear, how could the Mongolian cavalry go from Mobei to Nanzhong? ”

Chen Xi had already guarded against Qinling, Yangping Pass, Dingjun Mountain, and Yinping, and the Xia army attacked various roads in Hanzhong, and hoarded heavy troops in Jiange, Mianzhu, Chengdu and other places, defending layer by layer, and there could be no flaws.

Between Mobei and Nanzhong, spanning the entire Han Empire, it is unbelievable that it is so circuitous.

"Could it be that they set out from Longnan, detour to the western Sichuan Plateau, and make a detour to Nanzhong? This route is not at all something that ordinary generals can do......"

Chen Xi ignored the western Sichuan Plateau.

However, it is full of deep mountains and old forests, and it is rarely populated, how can a huge cavalry cross the western Sichuan Plateau?

"I couldn't believe it, but they did," Wang said. We occupied the three counties of Nanzhong for less than two or three years, and the people were not convinced, and the Mongolian cavalry arrived in Nanzhong? A wave of your arms? In response, it can be seen that among the cavalry who attacked the three counties of Nanzhong? There must be someone who has a reputation among the Nanban tribes. ”

"How to crack?"

"The Nanban tribe has too much influence in the Nanzhong region? We are delayed in Hanzhong again, and it is difficult to send troops to rescue us......"

"But? If the three counties of Nanzhong fall into the hands of the Xia army, Chengdu and Ba County will be threatened? Are we at odds with the enemy on our backs? A thousand miles of embankment was destroyed in an anthill. ”

"Who can go and defeat the Mongol cavalry that has entered the southern middle and at the same time pacify the many tribes of the southern barbarians?"

Wang Meng and Chen Xi fell silent.

At present, the military commander who guards the three counties of Nanzhong is Wu Han, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

Wu Han's ability is okay, but it is not enough to deal with such a complex situation.

About 100,000 Mongolian cavalry entered Nanzhong, and there were still more than a million Nanban tribe populations in the three counties of Nanzhong? Wu Han needed to deal with the Mongol cavalry and the Southern Barbarian army.

This situation? I'm afraid that only the lord of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, can handle it, not Wu Han.

"Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao and I personally went to the three counties of Nanzhong to suppress the local rebellion and repel the Mongol army. Yangping Pass will be handed over to you. ”

Wang Meng thought about it carefully and decided to go to Nanban in person? At the same time, he took Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao, two 10,000 enemies, as a force to bear.

Chen Xi is facing a sudden deterioration of the situation? Xiang Wang Meng asked, "Do you have the confidence to hold the three counties of Nanzhong?" ”

"Even if you know you can't do it, do it."

Even if Wang Meng has a strategy? was also led by the nose by Xia Jun.

100,000 Mongolian cavalry transferred to Nanzhong and put pressure on Chengdu from the rear? Is this a conspiracy? Liu Bei, Wang Meng, Chen Xi? It is necessary to divide the forces to deal with it.

When Liu Bei heard about this, he was worried, and came to find Wang Meng and Chen Xi: "Two military advisors, there are changes in the south, what should we do?" ”

Wang Meng said: "Please give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the two generals Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao will go to Nanzhong to repel the Mongolian cavalry." ”

"Is 50,000 soldiers too little?"

"Hanzhong's troops are tight, if too many soldiers and horses are transferred, the defense line of Yangping Pass and Qinling will be urgent, and the minister has to go to quell the rebellion with 50,000 troops."

"It's really not good, you can adjust part of the Chengdu defenders as the second batch of reinforcements."

"That's the best."

Wang Meng immediately dispatched troops.

The soldiers of Shu Han concentrated in Hanzhong and used Hanzhong as a barrier to Chengdu.

Therefore, Wang Meng transferred 50,000 troops from Hanzhong to Yizhou County.

Wang Meng wants to leave Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao again.

Deng Qiang asked for an official position at this time: "Unless I am appointed as the general of the expedition to the south and the guard of Hanzhong, I will go to the expedition to the south." ”

Liu Bei and Wang Meng frowned slightly.

Deng Qiang's armed forces are not low, even very high, with 97 armed forces, he dares to charge into battle, and his ability to command soldiers and horses is not low, and he is the first general under the command of the former Qin Wangmeng. Fu Jian thinks that Deng Qiang has the talents of Lian Po and Li Mu, and the people of the time compare them to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

But Deng Qiang's character is very straightforward, shielding his subordinates and openly asking for official positions.

Liu Bei thought for a while: "If you can keep the three counties of Nanzhong with the military division, then I can make you the general of Zhengnan and the Taishou of Hanzhong." ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Deng Qiang readily agreed.

If Deng Qiang's request can be met, Deng Qiang is happy to give his life.

"Take care. If you really can't keep the three counties of Nanzhong, it's not impossible to abandon them......"

Liu Bei personally came to the teleportation array in Nanzheng County to bid farewell to Wang Meng, Deng Qiang, Zhang Oy, and 50,000 soldiers and horses.

"Wang Meng's worries are not in Nanzhong, but in Hanzhong and Chengdu, and I hope that the lord will be careful."

Liu Bei can't rest assured that Wang Meng and Nanzhong, and Wang Meng can't rest assured that Liu Bei and Hanzhong and Chengdu can't rest assured.

Liu Bei said: "Yangping Pass and Qinling Mountains are like moats, and the Xia army can't cross them no matter what. ”

Wang Meng left with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw Wang Meng leave with Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao, two fierce generals, among them, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei: "Deng Qiang took refuge in the lord, the time is still short, and he has not made any contributions, why did he make him the general of the southern army and the Taishou of Hanzhong?" ”

"Second brother, if you can keep Nanzhong and tide over the difficulties, what's the harm if you take Deng Qiang as the Taishou of Hanzhong?"

Liu Bei can still grasp the weight clearly at this time.

100,000 Mongolian cavalry moved to Nanzhong, and the loss of Nanzhong would be a fatal blow to the Shu army.

Yizhou's population is already small, and the loss of the three southern and central counties is undoubtedly a huge loss for Yizhou, and the rear will be threatened.

Compared with the gains and losses of the three counties in Nanzhong, Deng Qiang asked for an official position, and Liu Bei could respond to his requests.

The Yizhou County Governor's Office, the guard general Wu Han received an urgent document from the cities of the three counties in Nanzhong.

After Liu Bei defeated Mu Ke and conquered the three counties of Nanzhong, according to Chen Xi's suggestion, in order to weaken Mu Ke's residual forces, the county guards, county orders, and city lords of each city were all replaced by Liu Bei's henchmen.

However, Mu Ke occupied the three counties of Nanzhong for ten years, and his influence was not something that Wu Han, who was an outsider, could replace for a while.

Mu Ke returned to Nanban, and responded to every call, not only the leaders of the Nanban tribe, but also some local Han people, who were strong and strong, also responded to Mu Ke and rebelled.

The three counties of Nanzhong were in flames, forming two camps, loyal to the old lord Mu Ke, or loyal to the new lord Liu Bei.

The two forces fought for the Nanban.

Mu Ke's influence was obviously greater, and he was deeply trusted by the barbarian tribes, and Huo An brought 100,000 Mongolian cavalry to sweep through Yuewang County.

Thirty thousand barbarians have joined Huo An and Mu Ke's army one after another, bringing Huo An and Mu Ke's strength to 130,000.

In addition, Huo An and Mu Ke received two hundred war elephants to help.

"Report, Meng Ba, the leader of the barbarians in Yizhou County, and Haoqiang Yonghong raised troops to respond!"

"Sure enough, they're still loyal to me."

Mu Ke returned to Nanban, and the chess pieces left behind played a role, which gave Liu Bei a big headache.

Huo An was looking at the topographical map of the three counties in Nanzhong: "We must capture a county town and obtain a teleportation array in order to continuously obtain reinforcements, otherwise we may fail." ”

Mu Ke said: "Yuewang County is at your fingertips, and Gaoding has already attacked the city. ”

"It went more smoothly than we expected."

Huo An changed into armor.

The Mongols were very circuitous, and naturally did not wear heavy armor when marching, and the armor was usually carried by pack horses.

When the Mongolian cavalry replaced the tattered cloth shirt with half-body armor, the momentum suddenly changed, and the killing atmosphere was permeated.
