Juti County, Juti County.

After Liu Chan personally led the army to arrive, he not only met Deng Fang, the governor of the city, but also Zhengang and Wang Meng, who fled here.

"Chen Deng Fang."

"The guilty minister is aggravated, see the prince."

Liu Chan replied: "The two of you are working hard, and now you are alone from Chengdu, and you will lead a large army to help you put down the rebellion." ”

The two looked at each other, both of them looking ashamed.

Zheng Ang said: "The minister has not fulfilled the responsibility of guarding the land, and he has been entrusted by the king, so he should live and die with Dianchi County!" Now that he has fled to this point, he really has no face to see the prince, and he asked the prince to punish him on behalf of the king. ”

Bow down and bow your hand.

Liu Chan glanced at Wang Meng behind him, and Wang Meng nodded imperceptibly.

Liu Chan stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Although Gu has never been here, he has also heard his father's words make you loyal. Now that the thieves are powerful, it is expedient to make the king temporarily hide here, and even if the father is here, he will not blame him. ”

Only then did Zhengang get up, showing gratitude.

Deng Fang also said at this time: "The minister sent 2,000 soldiers to help the king put down the rebellion, but he didn't want to ...... It is a shame that the army returned defeated before the city was captured. ”

"Now it is important to put an end to the chaos, but it is not the time to punish the loyal ministers. He also asked Deng Dudu to tell the military situation in front of him. ”

"Okay, the prince will sit down, and let the ministers be detailed."

Subsequently, Deng conveniently explained the process of defeat to Liu Chan.

Juti County is like a nail inserted into the three counties of the rebellion, with Yueyun to the west, Yizhou County to the south, and Qiqi to the east.

As long as Deng Fang led his troops here, the rebels in the south and central China would not be able to move their troops to the north.

If Zhu Ti is bypassed, then the Deng side can attack his rear at any time and cut off his grain route.

However, correspondingly, Deng Fang also needs to be very cautious if he wants to send troops, and he will send troops from a county south to attack Yizhou County, if he is detected by Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, he will be attacked from three sides.

Therefore, although he also had 5,000 soldiers under his command, he had to set aside enough troops to defend.

This time, two thousand soldiers were sent to attack the south, and Deng Fang naturally did not think that he could quell the rebellion once and for all.

It's just that as the governor of the city, he was originally an official position set up to pacify Nanzhong, although the king is not demanding, how can he be indifferent to the rebellion in Nanzhong as a courtier?

He thinks that with these 2,000 men, at least it will not be a problem to take Cunma County.

As soon as the storage was taken, the northern gate of Yizhou County was opened, and the gentle terrain to the south was more, which was more conducive to the formation of the army, and the king's reinforcements could rely on this outpost to drive southward at that time.

It's a pity that Liu Chan already knows what happened later.

"Deng Dudu, do you know why the southerners are willing to belong to the Yongjia and Meng Shu, and risk death to fight against our army?"

If you want to lay down the trap, it is not difficult for Liu Chan.

Of the counties in the south and central China, only the county seat can be called the county seat, and the rest of the small counties are at most the level of large cottages.

However, laying down the reserve is only the beginning, and if this issue is not clarified, it will not be able to achieve its strategic goals.

"Humph!" Deng Fang said angrily, "After the defeat of our army, I heard from the soldiers who fled and returned that the Nanren tribes did not want to respond to the rebellion. But Meng Shu said that our army was here and wanted to loot all the departments.

"There must be 300 black dogs for each part, and the hair on the chest must be black, three buckets of agate, and 3,000 logs three feet long. If any tribe can't hand it over, even if it is just a dog, it will be slaughtered by our army.

"At that time, the men will be killed, and the women will be slaves, and they will never be able to turn over......"

Liu Chan sneered when he heard this, Meng Shu actually played cognitive warfare with him?

If what he expected was right, I am afraid that this is a trick given to them by Wu Laoer's people.

If he wields a knife all the way to the past as Zhang Yi said, he is afraid that he will fall for Jiangdong's tricks.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, it is impossible for the southerners to return to their hearts from now on, and as long as there is a need in the future, Jiaozhou can incite a rebellion here and let Lao Liu's backyard catch fire.

When the time is right, Wu Lao Er will come to Nanzhong as a savior, and he only needs a little favor, and it is not necessary to say which way the hearts of Nanzhong will go.

Let them die, bleed, and fight with Lao Liu to the last Nanzhong person, and they will always be grateful to this person who fanned the wind behind their backs and sent them weapons.

In the end, he even threw himself directly into the arms of Koto.

You cripple think it's beautiful, huh?

"Governor Deng, I already have a plan in my heart, and I hope that the governor will cooperate."

"The prince has an order, and the ministers must obey the dispatch!"

Zhengang also said: "There are still more than 100 personal guards under the command of the criminal minister, all of whom are dispatched by the prince. ”

Liu Chan nodded: "I now order you two to continue to guard Zhuti County, this is the way back for our army, and it is also the guarantee of grain and grass for the southern expedition, and there must be no loss." At the same time, it closely investigated the battle situation in the two counties of Yueyun and Qiqi. ”

"Yes!"

"Zhang Bogong."

"The minister is here." Zhang Yi got up and clenched his fists.

"Lone led the army to open the way in front, and ordered you to command 4,000 soldiers and horses to follow behind, protect the people's husbands and escort grain and grass, and at the same time beware of the southerners gathering crowds to sneak attack."

"Yes!"

Liu Chan also advised: "Remember, if the southerners have not made a move, they must not kill their subordinates and destroy their fields first!" ”

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately said, "The minister obeys." ”

Li Hui listened to it for a while, no, why is there nothing to do with him here?

hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Prince, ...... the father and son?" ”

Liu Chan smiled at Li Hui: "Whether this southern expedition can have a perfect start depends on Li Zhiyou." Your father and son need to be ...... like this."

Li Hui was stunned when he heard this: "...... Yes? That's it? ”

"That's all." Liu Chan said solemnly, "This is the most important thing, and I hope that Li Cheng will do his best, don't take it lightly." ”

Li Hui's father and son glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Obey." ”

……

In the past May, the weather in southern and central China has begun to become humid and muggy.

"Go, go!" A soldier drove away the huge flying insects and exclaimed, "What the hell is this place, it's hot and dead, and there are so many insects and snakes." ”

A person next to him kept fanning the wind with his clothes, wiped his sweat and whispered: "Okay, let's complain a few words, look at people." ”

These two followed the rear of the Red Star Army, Li Er, Ding Feng and others led the Red Star Army as the vanguard and walked in the front, followed by Liu Chantong's Central Army, and the rear army of Grain and Grass and Zhang Yi.

The Red Star Army in front of them also walked in the sweltering mountains and forests, but they were like puppetmen made of gold and iron, still marching silently and vigilantly as before.

They seemed to be unaffected by the environment, but the two people who were close to each other could see that the soldiers of the Red Star Army were not dummies and monsters, and they were also sweating down their necks......

“…… Let's go. The insects still buzzed around the soldier, and he still waved his hand away from time to time, but he was not as irritable as before.

As the team walked out of the forest, the situation outside the mountains gradually slowed down, and a few small villages could be seen scattered at the bottom of the mountain in the distance, and a larger settlement could be faintly seen in the distance.

Li Er, who was in front of the commander, combined the map with the scout report of the head to explore the way, and determined that there was Cunqi County in the distance.

"The whole army is in armor and informs the Chinese army and the rear army."

"Yes!"

Then Liu Chan's army put on armor, was fully armed in the sweltering weather, and continued to advance.

The Red Star Army, which was only leading the way in front of the head, began to speed up at this time, breaking away from the Chinese army and making a detour......

They traveled in the direction of the village, and when they got out of the mountain, they went in circles.

The villagers, who saw the army running towards them from afar, immediately abandoned their farming tools and fled into their houses like frightened beasts, and soon there was no one to be seen outside.

"Prince Liu Chan, don't kill good people! Don't catch slaves, don't scrape money! Take Meng and capture Yonghong! ”

"Pacify Nanzhong and protect the people! Punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, and help the farmers! ”

A uniform shout came from the mouths of the Red Star Army soldiers, and the sound resounded throughout the village.

The people remained closed, and they didn't care, and after shouting three or five times in the village, they immediately ran to the next village.

It was only when the voice of the Red Star Army became farther and farther away that the bold people began to open the doors and windows in confusion and look out.

I saw that the Red Star Army passed by, and there was no damage to the farmland and houses, not even a single cow died.

The people who live here are also Han Chinese, but for a long time, many customs and customs have gradually become different from those in the north, but it is naturally very simple to understand Chinese.

Thinking of the two simple and easy-to-understand slogans just now, and then looking at the scene of Qiu Wuwu in front of them, they began to wonder.

How is this ...... It's different from what Meng Huo said.

Probably trying to deceive them, yes, the northerners are cunning, it must be so.

I thought so, but subconsciously, the will to resist has loosened slightly.

At the same time, the name Liu Chan also quietly left the first impression in the hearts of the southerners.

As for the crown prince Liu Chan himself, at this time, he had already led the Chinese army straight to Cunqi and quickly surrounded the county town like a big village.

He doesn't have so much patience to deal with the Yong family who has a ghost in his heart, since he dares to betray, he must have the consciousness to pay the price......
