In fact, not only the barbarians were swallowing their saliva, but the Jingzhou soldiers... were also greedy.

In this era, soldiers will not starve to death, but they cannot eat as much as they want. In addition, after walking for several hours today, the soldiers are already hungry.

In addition to the aroma of meat, today's staple food includes both rice and corn, which are mixed with the aroma of meat and are sweet and attractive.

Even Huang Yueying's stomach started to growl.

Well, she is hungry too, but she is not in a hurry.

Huang Wu and others were not in a hurry. Although they were also hungry, they were not looking forward to the food in the pot.

"What if A Chu's method doesn't work?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

Huang Yueying shook her head, with a look of surprise on her face, "Achu can't understand what brother said."

Zhuge Liang chuckled, "Tsk, are you pretending not to know?"

"If it doesn't work today, we'll continue tomorrow." Huang Yueying waved her hands nonchalantly. There will always be a meal, and it will work.

Jingfu, the title of the barbarian leader.

"Retreat your troops." Zhu Shao said calmly.

As a general, these guys are going to come out to rob them before they even have a meal?

Then, Huang Yueying pulled Zhuge Liang back.

However, the barbarians did not believe it because the Han people at the foot of the mountain would still collect it from them. However, in the past six months or so, the tax cloth collected by the Han people had increased a lot, which made many tribes dissatisfied.

But more people are still killing.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, soldiers from both sides collided.

…

The elders of the clan went to apologize one after another, but Zhou Lang blocked them back, saying that the future hegemony in Jiangdong would be inseparable from the Zhu clan.

However, if he only defends the city, the other party will also have to knock his front teeth.

When she went to Jiangxia before, she was alone as a bait, and she basically arranged for other people to follow. Therefore, she had never seen a real bloody battlefield.

"If they come... I, Mr. Xiang..."

As the contemporary representative of the Zhu family, Zhu Shao... was naturally pushed out.

The tribesmen are extremely grateful.

Xiang Hongsheng nodded, "Order your troops! Eat!"

See whether the other party is patient enough or they are just more patient.

"I originally thought that Liu Biao would be unable to look south." The scribe chuckled, "In that case, let me, Zhu Shao, take a look at Jingzhou's soldiers."

"Array up!" Huang Wu shouted.

So, they went down the mountain to plunder, and the county town at the foot of the mountain... was vulnerable. The soldiers inside were no match for them. Then, salt, grain, cloth, and gold and silver were transported back to the mountain in piles, causing a lot of trouble in the vicinity.

The tribes were jealous and united.

"I don't know."

In December last year, Wu Hou defeated Jiangxia. When he returned to Jiangdong, Zhou Lang visited Zhu and said that he wanted to ask for Zhu's help.

"Sir...do you want to fight?" Xiang Hongsheng also swallowed his saliva, smelling the faint scent of meat, followed by the scent of corn and white rice...

In July and August last year, Jiangdong's spying on Chu paper was leaked, and the whole world laughed at Wu Hou.

…

Before Zhu Shao could answer, another tall barbarian came over and called Xiang Hongsheng in a gibbering voice, which probably meant, "Boss, everyone is hungry, and the Han people happened to have cooked for us."

"What do you want me to do, sir?"

It seems now that if the opponent wants to attack the city directly, they will not be able to defend it, unless...

Kuai Yue on the side: ...I always feel that I have been ignored.

Huang Yueying looked at the movement in the county town and found that the other party had really opened the city gate. She was quite surprised and immediately ordered Huang Wu, Zhang Qian and the others.

The two of them nodded naturally.

Finally, Xiang Hongsheng was willing to give it a try.

"The Chen family in Louzhong, the Gao family in Lingyang, and the Qin family in Lizhong, come to think of it, Liu Biao has been moving north for a long time, and the news should be passed on." Zhu Shao sighed.

War is a very cruel thing, because people will bleed, be injured, and even die.

Relying on his own knowledge, he went into the mountains and persuaded the barbarians, telling them that the Eastern Han Dynasty was now in danger, and the court could not care about them at all, so they no longer needed to pay taxes.

Some of the barbarian soldiers fell, but those who did not fell continued to charge forward.

"Please ask Jingfu to send someone to ask for help."

Xiang Hongsheng was shocked when he saw the formation change of Jingzhou soldiers. He looked at Zhu Shao and said, "Sir..."

The war begins.

"Master?" Xiang Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, then became furious, "Are you looking down on me?"

This was the first time that Huang Yueying intuitively saw the war scene between the two forces.

The shield of one of the phalanxes was torn off by the barbarian soldiers, and even some iron shields were smashed and deformed. The barbarian soldiers broke into the formation, and what was waiting for him was spears thrust from all directions.

Some people were holding thick wooden sticks, and some were holding maces, and they were shouting strangely and moving forward.

…

"The Yue family of Kuai, whose name is Yidu, is good at strategy. He was once appointed as Dongcao by General He Jin. Later, he and his brother helped Liu Biao to conquer Jingzhou..." the scribe replied.

"Does Xiang Jingfu know who is leading the Jingzhou army?" The scribe did not answer, but asked Xiang Hongsheng a question.

He knew that it would be difficult to defeat the Jingzhou soldiers due to the huge gap in strength.

"Sir, are you saying we want to fight?" Xiang Hongsheng was overjoyed.

Seeing the two groups of people rushing together, they were silent.

Someone was hurt and yelled.

"It's just that now Jingfu has also seen that the opponent has a lot of troops... If it's just a few tribes that Jingfu has united with now, it won't be enough." Zhu Shao continued.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, I started from Jiangdong and traveled southwest, finally arriving at Wuling County this year.

…

The six hundred guards he brought surrounded him, surrounded by huge iron shields.

Therefore, Zhu Shao asked Xiang Hongsheng to send people to invite the leaders of the big tribes to bring reinforcements.

On the county city wall.

Thousands of barbarian soldiers shouted and rushed out of the county town, raising a lot of dust and making a huge noise.

But what awaited them was a dense rain of arrows, one after another, continuously.

Under Zhu Shao's suggestion, they could go down the mountain and occupy the county seat, occupying their fields, food, money and women.

"To whom?"

…

"It's Kuai's family, Kuai Yue, who just became Liu Biao's chief registrant this year."

However, he also withdrew. As a scribe, he knew his position.

"Sir, that's right." Xiang Hongsheng agreed. If they were just defending the city, they would still have some advantages.

On the city wall.

Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang and Kuai Yue were all in the rear, observing the situation on the battlefield.

Someone fell.

Zhang Qian also ordered two thousand elite soldiers to form a formation with shields and go forward to fight.

As the general in front of the formation, Zhang Gan did not panic and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to surround the rear of the barbarians. After all, their military strength was huge.

"Kuai..." Xiang Hongsheng frowned. This is a giant in Jingzhou and they can't afford to offend him. "Please teach me, sir."

Zhuge Liang laughed and nodded. If the other party doesn't leave the city today, then he will have another meal tomorrow... If it's not enough, he will continue.

In the battle with the Han people, the barbarians had their own experience in facing such a rain of arrows. They distanced themselves from each other and ran faster.

Some square formations were also broken up by barbarians, and Jingzhou soldiers fell into a disadvantage and were hacked to death...and maimed.

The shouts of killing were loud.

"Xiang Jingfu," Zhu Shao looked at Xiang Hongsheng, "Now we have occupied half of Wuling County. If we can hold it, whether it's salt or food, we don't have to worry about the future."

With the huge benefits, more and more tribes are participating, but... only some small tribes, the most powerful ones in the mountain, have not moved yet.

As for why he agreed to fight this battle, of course it was just for testing and to find out the opponent's true and false intentions.

"Jingfu, only by uniting can we compete with Liu Biao."

"What you said is true. If so, I will send someone to ask for help!"
