Guchang County.

Liu Chan'an sat in the county government and looked at a battle report in his hand with a smile.

Ma Tan and Guan Xing successfully captured Yan County, opened the northern gateway of Qi County, and obtained an important stronghold for attacking Qi County.

Da Lou Mountain, Lou Shan Pass, Zunyi ...... These familiar places are not called by those names today.

After breaking through the initial level, the Yakuza are basically in a state of defenselessness for them.

As long as Ma Tan doesn't do some brain-pumping things, basically Qiqi County is already stable.

Thinking that there is a delicate Guan Xing on the side, this wave of horses should not overturn.

The army under the command of Zhu Bao, the Taishou of the Emperor, was already very low, and the lower the salary, the more serious the school stripping of generals at all levels, resulting in the soldiers not having enough to eat, let alone drilling.

The difficult government finances to support corrupt officials are already stretched, where to get the money and food to support the army, is not to look at the large territory of Qiqi County, but the number of soldiers in battle is not yet 10,000, and victory is expected.

If Comrade Ma Tan faces this kind of opponent, plus Guan Xing's assistance can overturn, he can say goodbye to the front line and go home to wash and sleep.

Liu Chan gave Ma Tan a chance to exercise, but he never thought that he could really expect him to carry the banner of Kuangfu Han and become a mainstay.

I really want to pull a flag-carrying person out in Ma's house, and that is also his brother Ma Liang, who is alone to appease Wuxi Man, and say that Shamoke will send a large army to help.

But there is always such a thing as talent, the more the merrier.

Let Ma Jian exercise and exercise, even if he can't fight a decisive battle in the future, it is good to release a county to protect the territory and the people.

There was another thing that caught Liu Chan's attention.

Ma Zhong...... When you look back, remember to let the old man give it a boost. ”

Liu Chan was deeply impressed by this name.

One is Ma Zhong of Eastern Wu, who was the one who killed his second uncle Guan in history, and of course he has now become the ghost of the second uncle......

There is also Ma Zhong of Jihan Basi County, who also served as the governor of the capital in history, and seems to have done a good job, and later became a marquis.

This person should be a talent, and this time he also showed his head in the first battle of entering the Qiang.

"Needless to say, the war between Ma Tan and Guan Xing in Qiqi County is also going well." Liu Chan put down the battle report with a smile, "Just wait to take Dianchi, behead Yonghong, capture Meng, and the overall situation in Nanzhong can be determined." What is the situation in the rear? ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "The whole place is stable, and there is no riot after my army leaves." There are even large households in Cunqi County that have funded the organization of the 'Hongyi Army', and the young and strong have enthusiastically participated in it, and voluntarily returned to our garrison to help defend the city and maintain order. ”

"Oh? The commander of the order will write down the situation of this large household, and then present it to Lonely. ”

"Yes."

Such "activists" can develop into "grassroots cadres" to manage Nanzhong after the war.

The pressure of the Northern Expedition was huge, and in the face of a behemoth like Cao Wei, it was impossible for him to station a large army in the south for a long time, and he had to rely on "southerners to govern the south" after all, which is why it was so important to attack the heart.

"What is the state of our army?" Liu Chan looked at Li Er again.

"Prince, the morale of the soldiers is high, just wait for the prince to give an order, you can go south and take Dianchi directly!" Li Er got up and clenched his fists.

Xi also listed: "My subordinates are willing to lead the people of the headquarters to be the vanguard and open the way for the prince." ”

He is familiar with Dianchi, and the last time he went to send a wave of warmth, he had long been ashamed of the snow.

"Okay, that's the case, the whole army is ready for battle, and the army will ...... early tomorrow morning"

Liu Chan was about to give an order, when suddenly a guard shouted outside the door: "Prince, Captain Wang Meng asks to see you!" ”

"Oh? Let him in. ”

"Yes!"

Later, Wang Meng pushed the door in, bowed and clasped his fists and saluted: "Wang Meng pays a visit to the prince." ”

"Don't be polite, you came in person, but what's the situation on the Dianchi side?"

Wang Meng was personally in charge of the "underground work" over there in Dianchi, and the theory of Liu Chan's destiny intensified under the impetus of the shadow guard, and Liu Chan's army was indeed advancing all the way, which further confirmed this statement.

And this has brought tangible benefits to Wang Meng's work.

The originally difficult infiltration work in Dianchi Lake gradually went smoothly, and even some people in the Yong family in Dianchi Lake have been rebelled under coercion and temptation.

Now the 2,000 defenders under Yonghong have been secretly plotted against the three Yongjia generals by his people, as long as Liu Chan's army is in the city, Wang Meng is sure to order at least 500 people to defect directly.

Liu Chan was also clear about the latest progress of Dianchi Lake, so when he saw Wang Meng leave Dianchi and come in person at this time, he instinctively felt that something was wrong with Dianchi Lake.

Could it be that Wu Lao Er sent troops directly from Jiaozhou?

No, the yin man who stabbed the knife in the back, he believed that Wu Lao Er was a good hand.

But the front has just lost troops and lost generals, and now dare to unilaterally tear up the agreement and directly send troops to help Yonghong rebel? He really didn't believe that Wu Lao Er would do such a thing.

Even if Wu Lao Er showed the courage to ride a horse and shoot a tiger back then, a person like him who put his interests first should not rashly send troops directly when the victory or defeat in Nanzhong was not decided.

"Prince Yu, there are Yongjia reinforcements arriving in Dianchi, even if the scale is less than 10,000, the difference is not very far."

Liu Chan frowned and asked, "But the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou Dongwu?" ”

Li Hui, Zhang Yi and others were also nervous, if Dongwu directly sent troops, things would be in trouble.

Wang Meng shook his head: "No, it's the people of Meng Huo's own clan, as well as the five soldiers of the Kunming clan." ”

Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, in this period of strategic opportunities for the development of Jingyi, Nanzhong needs to be determined quickly.

Cao Pi, who had just ascended to the throne, needed to reorganize his internal affairs and prepare to usurp the Han dynasty, but once he had completed his internal integration, he would be in dire need of a victory to consolidate his rule.

Whether it is a victory in the war, or a victory in diplomacy.

He didn't want to chase Jiangdong in this situation, even if he won all the way, it would inevitably lead to Wu Laoer's despair and complete surrender to Cao Wei, which Liu Chan did not want to see.

What's more, Jiaozhou is barren and sparsely populated, even though Liu Chan has the vision of later generations and knows that there are many unique resources there.

But at the moment, nothing is as important as food and population, and we can't afford to lose a big deal because of a small thing.

Otherwise, there are not enough people to farm the land, let alone anything else.

"It turned out to be just a soldier, so why should Captain Wang worry." Ji Xi said with a smile, "Don't say that the strength is not as good as our army, even if there are 108,000 and the prince is in charge, they can't afford to make big waves." ”

After the previous rash advance, Xi can now look at his combat power objectively and calmly.

But it doesn't mean that he can look at Liu Chan's combat power objectively and calmly, in his eyes, Liu Chan is a person blessed by God, and it is useless for anyone to come.

Although Zhang Yi and the others were not like this, their expressions were also much more relaxed when they heard that there were only less than 10,000 Yi soldiers.

Wang Meng was the only one, and he said in a deep voice: "The king of Kunming and Meng Yan went to the south since the war, and it is said that they are going to prepare some 'big gift'. Moreover, the camp where they were stationed was not allowed to be approached by outsiders within a radius of ten miles, so it must be strange to be so secretive. ”

Gift?

Liu Chanmo rubbed his chin, in addition to the Qingqiang soldiers, he also had the impression that he could get the high-end combat power on the table, that is, the vine armor soldiers and elephant soldiers.

But I don't know which one it will be.

But in any case, Dianchi is bound to be obtained, whether it is a mule or a horse, and he will know it when he pulls it out for a walk.

"Lone already knows, you have your own decision, you have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first."

"Yes."

Then Liu Chan said to the others: "Although our army has won a great victory all the way to this point, the Yi people have survived here for thousands of years, and they should not underestimate the other party. As far as Lone knows, there is no shortage of them who use secret methods to make armor, and ordinary arrows are difficult to break. There are also those who are good at driving beasts of prey, so be careful to do so. ”

"Subordinates obey."

"Early tomorrow morning, the plan for the whole army to march to Dianchi Lake remains unchanged, plan Xi and Zhang Yi!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order the two of you to lead your headquarters as the front army, if you encounter an enemy army, you should be improvised, and you must not be reckless."

"Yes!"

Then Liu Chan looked at the first person again: "Hu Li." ”

"The end will be."

"You lead the Red Star cavalry to accompany the flank of the front army, and send more scouts to investigate."

"Yes!"

Liu Chan got up: "The lonely relatives are in charge of the Chinese army, Li Hui is the deputy general, and Li Er leads the Red Star Army to protect the Lei Gong Cannon as the rear army." Li Zhitong 1,000 people stayed in Guchang, and the others performed their duties and must not make mistakes. ”

Everyone bowed and bowed their hands: "Yes." ”

Yonghong and Meng have exhausted their cards, as long as they win this battle, Nanzhong can be determined!
