Chapter Forty-Four: Wolf Smoke Rises [Seeking to Read]
Recruiting Wuxi Man was a strategic plan that Huo Yi had pondered before going south to the south of the Yangtze River.
This is based on the fact that he has historical foresight and knows that Wuling can be used by the Han Dynasty.
But the fact that this Wuling in front of him was able to tell him so confidently that he could recruit barbarians to start an incident very well shows this person's extraordinary ability.
Huo Yi thought about it, but he didn't have any impression of this person.
Maybe it's because it's too little-known and not recorded in the history books.
"Mr. Gao, this general has a plan to recruit Wuxi to attack Changsha and Guiyang counties."
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yi smiled and said in a serious tone:
"I wonder if Mr. has a way to recruit barbarians?"
As soon as he spit out a word, he stared straight at it with a very solemn gaze.
When Huo Yi thought about the plan to appease the barbarians before, what he was most worried about was how to get the barbarians to help.
After all, his fame only depends on Nanjun, and he has not yet reached the level of driving barbarians.
"You are sure to persuade the barbarians to raise an army~"
Fan Ling also showed excitement in her heart at this time, and understood that Huo Yi had just been filial piety to her father for three years, and after the year of the crown, he was ordered by the king of Hanzhong to inherit the position of general, and he must be quite favored by the king.
As long as he can assist in this battle, the follow-up promotion will not be a problem.
Thinking about it, he realized that he had to show his talents in front of Huo Yi, so he responded decisively: "I have been engaged in Wuling County for many years, and I have often maintained the relationship between Han and Barbarian to avoid friction and mutual hatred between the two clans. ”
"Also because of Ling's proposition, the Han and the barbarians traded with each other."
"The barbarians have been trekking in the mountains and forests since they were young, and they are good at hunting, so the county will regularly open a market for people to exchange cloth and wheat for meat."
"Originally, since the rise of Guangwu Zhongxing, the contradictions between the Wuling Han and the barbarians have gradually intensified, and the struggle has intensified, but with the adoption of mutual trade and mutual trade, the two sides have often maintained and adjusted the contradictions."
"If you come forward, you can still persuade the barbarians to start an incident."
Fan Ling's words fell, and her expression became more and more confident, affirming her role this time.
Hearing this, Huo Yi's heart was relieved, a little joy appeared, and he still said very calmly: "Mr. Yu Wuling has won the hearts of the people, and all the things that are done to appease Wuxi will be handed over to the full authority." ”
"After the matter is completed, Ben will truthfully present your merits, thinking that with your past governance skills and the loyalty of the city after the defection of Taishou, it will not be a problem to add new merits to the official and become a knight!"
"General Huo rest assured, it will be completed smoothly~"
Hearing Huo Yi's promise, Fan Ling's eyes became more and more determined for a while, and he arched his hand and said loudly.
"Okay, that's good~"
Seeing that Fan Ling could solve his dilemma of appeasing the barbarians, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
After Fan Ling agreed, he suddenly inquired again, "General Huo, what should Lingling County do?" ”
"The officials above and below the ether guard Hao Pu have secretly communicated Jiangdong, if we send troops to attack Changsha and Guiyang two counties, wouldn't Lingling attack my Wuling will be a loss of ground?"
"Didn't Mr. Fang say that Hao Pu is waiting?"
As soon as these words fell, Huo Yi thought for a while, and asked the prime minister.
"Yes~"
Although she didn't understand what it meant, Fan Ling still answered truthfully.
"Then it's no problem, in terms of the performance of the Jiangdong columns in the twenty years of Jian'an's sneak attack on several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, this person was also deceived by Lu Meng to open the city gate and surrender."
"Although he is frequently infiltrated by Jiangdong now, he also keeps a wait-and-see, which is enough to prove that deep down in his heart he has not completely fallen to Jiangdong."
"I'm afraid I won't send troops if I want him to help at this time, but he will definitely not take the initiative to help the Wu people attack us."
As soon as the words fell, Huo Yi analyzed and spoke eloquently, and his face became more and more solemn: "As long as we can expel the invasion of the Wu people or gain the upper hand in the battle." ”
"If Ben will be as expected, Hao Pu will not only not vote for Jiangdong, but will also fight back."
"Therefore, the key to the current war situation is to attack the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, and take the opportunity to take the waters of Dongting Lake, which is connected to the Yangtze River, and cut off the waterways between the public security and the rear of Jiangdong."
"As long as our army controls the initiative, the big thing will be decided!"
"Therefore, whether we can win the land of Jiangnan now depends on all the gentlemen."
A sprinkled voice fell, and Fan Ling suddenly felt how heavy the pressure on her shoulders was after hearing it.
"We will live up to General Huo's expectations~"
Fan Ling once again gave up his hand to guarantee.
As the plan was decided, Fan Ling began to wander among the various tribes of the Wuxi barbarians to persuade the rebellion, while Huo Yi was buried in the county mansion and observed the topographic map of the mountains, rivers and other topography of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River drawn above the map.
and sent scouts to infiltrate Changsha, Guiyang and other counties to spy on the truth.
After many days, Fan Ling came back with good news that he had persuaded the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians, Shamoke, that the barbarians who were now distributed between the Five Creeks were faintly ready to start an incident at any time.
"Fan Zhen specially sent a villain to consult General Huo, when can we order the Wuxi barbarians to go down the mountain to attack Jiangdong County?"
After revealing the general's situation truthfully, the messenger quickly asked with a serious face.
Hearing this, Huo Yi, who had known Changsha and Guiyang for a long time, quickly waved his hand and responded: "Tell Fan Zhi to let him make the barbarians ready to attack and wait secretly." ”
"Follow Ben's instructions~"
"Yui~"
When the scouts heard the order, they surrendered their promises and retired.
When the messenger retired, Huo Yi's indifferent expression turned solemn again, and he sighed:
"Alas~ Although the current main force in Jiangdong is basically concentrated on the front line of public security and holds on to Jiangling, it will be difficult to attack the second county with such fanfare."
"There has to be a change!"
He thought to himself, and his gaze became more and more focused.
After secretly listening in recent days, he also knew that the current guard of Changsha County was the veteran Huang Gai, who had gone through three generations of the Sun family and was a genuine meritorious service of the Jiangdong Three Dynasties.
The prestige qualifications in the army and the loyalty to the Sun family do not need to be said~
Huo Yi knew very well that if nothing happened in Changsha, I was afraid that even if he could make the Wuxi barbarians cause trouble and cause the county to be full of wolf smoke, I was afraid that with Huang Gai's qualifications and skills, he would be able to quickly stabilize the situation, and then quickly send someone to repay Sun Quan.
He understands that the attack can only be carried out secretly, and once the surprise attack fails to evolve into a subsequent tug-of-war with Jiangdong, the battle situation will be quite unfavorable for his side!
Because he gathered the Wuling garrison under his command, there were only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses.
And Wuxi Man may let them help in attacking the Jiangdong counties, but if they want to risk their lives to fight with the Jiangdong soldiers, I am afraid they will not be too happy.
Huo Yiyu thought to himself in his heart, and said helplessly, "It's still that there are not enough soldiers and horses in the headquarters, otherwise I wouldn't have to suddenly attack Jiangdong County~"
